The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-11-19

fair coed has voice today many tones
lower than before the game. They didn't
have much Of chance to talk, but thew
could yell with the best Of the rooters,
and their variegated wraps lent much to
the color of the scene.
1t was just tWenty-Seven minutes after
when Pat O'Dea pranced out on the
field from the gymnasium door at the
head of his football warriors Then did
the cardinal have session, and the lurid
red streamers with their owners went
momentarily insane. The Minnesota band,
dressed in their best, took a turn about
the pigskin acre, and O'Dea improved his
time by drop kicking a dozen or more
goals from the middle of the field, while
his men romped around and passed the
ball about.
Six minutes later George Cole, the
p1gmy-in size only-of the team, put in
an appearance, and the maroon and gold
was on top. 1t seemed as though the
cheers would never cease. The Mime
sofa players took a corner of the field and
stead1ed their nerves with a short signal
practice.
Then a little group appeared in the
center of the field. In 1t were Capts.
Scandrett and ODea, Coaches Leary and
Phil King, Umpire Heffelfnger and Ref
cree Lieut.. Bird, U. s. A. A coin was
tossed and O'Dea's luck had seemingly
not deserted him, for he won the toss.
Soon the game was on and there was no
feint fighting, no sparring for wind. Both
teams went at 1t, hammer and tongs,
tooth and nail
ODea chose the south side goal, which
mad slight advantage in the breeze.
Minnesota had the ball
GAME IN DETAIL.
1t was 2:45 when Knowlton patted up
little pile Of mud and squatted a brand
new ball down on his little creation of
soft clay. He took a good long squint
at 1T and then the ball sailed off from the
tip of his good right foot. A Wisconsiner
named Sem got under the ball, but fun
bled 1t and then recovered, but the Min
nesota ends were down on him with
vengeance.
Hanback, Driver went into the line, but
he couldn't make an impression, and
ODea punted straightway Knowlton
fumbled and the ball was under a Badger
near the middle of the field Wisconsin
plunged into the line and went five yards
In two attempts. Driver tried the left
end and Scandrett flung him for a loss,
but twisted his injured leg badly. He
was out Of 1t but for a moment and back
the plucky captain hobbled to his position
In the line. O'Dea found a wall instead
of a hole and he was forced to punt.
Knowlton caught the ball and travelled
fifteen yards before he was downed. Min
nesota soon kicked.
Wisconsin tried the right end. but failed
to gain. Then they hit Minnesotas
right tackle and gained eight yards. Here
they stopped and again was Wisconsin
forced to kick. O'Dea tried a drop, but
it fell short.
Aune found way prepared for him
and he went twenty-five yards through
the whole Wisconsin team before he
was downed. And then again for five
more. Wisconsin got the ball on downs
and Sem circled the right end for twenty
yards. Driver, however, was tackled be-
hind the line by Scandrett. O'Dea
thought 1t best to punt. Minnesota was
soon obliged to do the same. O'Dea
fumbled the low drive of Knowlton and
Minnesota got the ball.
Knowlton kicked beautifully and O'Dea
returned it, Aune made a small gain
through the line, but Minnesota took to
kicking tactics again. O'Dea punted
and the ball went out of bounds near the
center of the field. Knowlton punted to
O'Dea, who lodged Scandrett and
chased around the left on thirty-f1ve
yard run. He was tackled by Cole
Driver and Sem made ten yards between
them and the line, though holding WELL
was touched for small gains. Minnesota
got the ball on her eighteen-yard line
on tumble
Minnesota tried the line once and then
punted to O'Dea, who was thrown nicely
by Dobie. The ball was again near the
middle of the gridiron
O'Dea was forced to punt. Knowlton
gained six yards on the catch and would
have made more but for the slippery
spot on the field. Gray was good for
two yards and Aune for two more. Then
Knowlton punted to Trott, who was
tackled by Dobie and Scandrett. The ball
was near the center of the field. Min
nesota held firmly and again did O'Dea
kick. Knowlton soon did the same, and
O'Dea was tackled viciously by Scan
drett.
Wisconsin tried a double pass that
failed, Driver being tackled by Dobie.
Sem got around left end for four yards
and again was Scandrett injured, but he
played on pluckily. After few yards
of gaining, Wisconsin lost the ball on a
tumble. Knowlton punted to O'Dea,
who was slammed down by Scandrett
The time was up for the first half. 1t
was 1928.
SECOND HALF.
In the second half Peele took Senn'g
place at left half. The Minnesota team
remained intact.
