ervation. When the finish came there
was nought left to Northrop's wards but
the little end of the score and the big lot
Of Minneapolis real estate with its
twelve-foot high board fence.
AS the Spanish would say 1t was a
sad but glorious day But never think
that 1T was a contest free from fight.
The Gopher Mckers were outweighed.
They were also outplayed. That must be
said. But they cid not show the white
feather They fought with every bit of
bone and muscle in them and made a
finish that set the crowded grandstand
on it's tiptoes till 1t had yelled itself to a
whisper.
With the score II to against his team
and with but half a minute of the game
left, Dobie, Minnesotas peerless end,
broke through the line and blocked q
kick. Halfback Cameron was there like
hawk on hen and clutching the oval
dashed away to be felled just fifteen
yards from q touchdown. There was a
try through the line that failed. Then a
signal for n place kick. In q trice the
ball was snapped back to Cameron. He
deftly placed it where .Fullback Glover's
kicking boot connected and the team was
saved from shutout. It was a SEN
sational play that drove the rooters mad
and rubbed away the sting of defeat.
GREAT DAY.
It was a great day, q great crowd and
q great game, and the campus was
swarming with fair women and~spfuce
college, men q full hour before the up
holsterad, moleskinned footballists put in
an appearance. With the cadet band in
the lead the faculty marched into the
grounds at o'clock and took their a'lot-
ted space in the grandstand. The pur-
pIe-sweatered and purple-stocknged
football squad with all the accouterm&nts
of football warfare came bounding in
at the south side carriage gate five min
utcs later. There was a faint display OF
purple pennants and a comfortable cheer
from the generous Minnesotans.
An instant later Capt. SCan0rettS fol-
lovers stepped out Of the gymnasium
back door on to the gridiron, and there
was noise enough for, Dewey celebra-
ton. Pandemonium was not tied up. 1t
was stalking about wrapped III maroon
alld gold and armed with fog horns and
fog horn voices. By some mysterious
power, with a few simple passes of both
arms, q clean-cut professor with the plain
name of Jones brought order cut of deaf
eninc chaos and stilled the rolling waves
OF sound. The crowd was impatient for
the fray, but ii took It's optics Off the
football fighters for a moment and looked
at the mighty man VINO had brought
about the lull.
The professor made some nice remarks
about the regents through whose generos-
ity a new athletic field had been made
possible. He also said some nice things
about the undergraduates who had as
sisted materially in causing the new field
to be built. He said the regents had
been loath to name the university build
ings after Minnesotas eminent men, and
was glad the students and the alumni
had started the ball rolling. Then Presi-
dent Northrop. whose name graces the
athletic grounds, dropped some charac-
teristic bon mots that pleased all the
ears in range, and urged the students to
manly sport, and to take defeat like
men and do better the next time" They
have an opportunity to follow his advice.
Mayor James Gray, who is university
alumnus, said some things about the uni
versity when he skipped classes that
caught the crowd. DR.. Hollister, North
Westerns coach, said he hoped the Min
nesota would win from all the institu-
tions, with possibly one exception Then
Prof Jones, who seemed to have control
of the ball, shouted play" and the two
teams lined up for the kek-off.
The key note to Minnesota defeat yes
terday was weak line-especially the
tackle positions. Northwestern, with her
heavy half-backs, made holes as big as
war balloons, and galloped through with
