crs-SpIendId Football weather
and "a Zig Crowd Out to See the
Camc-The scores of All other
State Games.
Grinneil and Minnesota met yesterday
for their eleventh annual contest on the
gridiron, and the result was a tie game,
with the score 5 to s. Minnesota scored
her five on sixty-fve-yard run by Free
man through CrinnelFs right tackle,
ana the Iowa team scored on a drop
kick by Wheeler from the 40-yard line.
The game was a hard fought one from
the beginning. and the ball was kept In
the middle of the field the greater part
of the time The Minnesota men were
conhdeny of winning. and felt somewhat
disappointed at the result.
The Minnesota line showed great i'm
provement, with the exception of the
ENDS, who were woefully weak on de-
fensive play Grinnen found this out
early in the game, and when on the Of
fensire sent their backs around the Co
pher ends for good gains. On the Of
fensive the Gophers did not show as much
improvement, dllIOuSA lIey uIN pay
with more dash and spirit. The backs
cid not get into the interference to any
extent. and were slow in starting. Free
man was the only man on the team who
could gain ground for the Minnesota
team, and he was usually good for his
distance. Otte also made few good
gains through his ability to hit the line
low and with some force.
Grinnell put up a far better game than
was expected, and the team play was as
a rule very good. Burd their star
ground gamer and seldom failed to make
the necessary distance when he had any
show at all. The Hawkeyes made good
use of the double pass and quarter pack
plays in the second half, and Kept the
ball in the Gopher's territory because OF
their ability to fool the Minnesota ends.
The defensive play of the team was good,
and they had little trouble in holding the
Gophers for downs. Their work In lhls
respect was made easy by the failure
of inopposition to form their plays with
any degree of quickness. Grinnells rum
bIes cost her considerable, and much
ground was lost from this weakness. Al
no time did the Iowa team seem In Dan
ger Of scoring, but the cleVerness Oh
Wheeler at drop kicking caused the sup
porters of the maroon ana gold great un-
easness when they were WITHIN ioi'
yards of their goal.
It was splendid football weather ana
there was a large and enthusiastic aud
ence the crowd being considerably larger
than for the Ames game, week ago
