MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 1.-The football
game between the University of Min
nesota and Carleton college, Mortified,
resulted in a shut-out for the visitors
and a score of 80 for the varsity boys
The game was generally regarded by
witnesses as the forerunner of success
ful football playing at the university
for the season Of '9S. There is little
to crow about over the score, as it was
conceded that the Carleton boys were
not a match for the~locaI kIckers. but
the game showed signs Of Improvement
over the playing for the past two sea-
sens.
The work of Jack" Minds, the new
coach, with Pennsylvania ideas, was
plainly to be seen in the game. The
varsity played a strong team game,
their interference was better than for
some time past, and every man knew
he had a part in each play called.
The varsity eleven lacks In weight
somewhat as compared with former
years but with Nicoll in and Ivan
Perry back in their places this defect
will be partially remedied. 1t was the
opinion of good judges of the sport
that the varsity boys made a good
showing for their first appearance. and
they were picked out for winners in
the coming games.
The audience at the game was made
up largely Of university people and
their friends. Prof. Macmillan headed
the list of instructors, with several of
lesser football influence at his back.
Among old players were Leary, Hard
Ing, Van Camper, Adams, Harrison
and Belden. The university cadet band
had seats on that side of the field. AS
usual, the too enthusiastic spectators
took up their position along the lines
and the efforts of several policemen
were needed to keep them off the field.
GAME CALLED.
1t was $3.50 when the game was called

Robertson, captain and full back Of
the Mortified players, started the
game with q punt that sent the pig
skin far down the field. It was soon
back again, the result Of steady line
bucking. In short order, a touchdown
was scored by the locals, and a goal

old-time variety. There was no such
thing as stopping the onward progress
of the varsity stalwarts But their
plays were Of a single sort-wedge on
center and wedge on tackle The end
plays were scarce throughout the game
which means that the end players on
both sides were alive to their business
Scandrett for Minnesota, is an old man
on the team, and no runner can rea-
somably expect to pass that way Eos
seen, on the left end, while a f1rst-year
man, held his position with equal sue
cess. Goodhue and Tiffany were the
Carleton ends, and they deserve great
credit for their work
There was little kicking, and more
would have made the game more inter
eesting for the grand stand. It had
been the direction Of Minds To kicL
more, but the players went on the the
DRY that discretion is the better mart
of valor, and they were determined to
shut out the visiting team.
The game was entirely one-sided,
The ball was scarcely ever In Minneso-
ia territory, and only then as the re-
suit of kick by the visitors During
the first half of the game the Minne-
sofa men crossed the goal line three
times, but kicked only one goal. In
the second half, the Carleton men open
