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

from Minne5ota's forty-yard line. After
another poor pass to Knowlton and a
blocked kick a safety was made much
in the same way after O'Dea had punted
and knowlton was about to return 1t.
This was the end of the scoring
The playing Of Captain Scandrett, Cole,
Dobie, Aune and Evans was a feature of
the game But every Minnesota man
played with vim and grit that has not
been seen before for several seasons
Captain Scandretts work was especially
fine. He was down the field on every kick
and his tackling was superb. Injured
severely in the very start of the game, he
played through &c the finish with a dash
that won the hearts and the sympathies
of the cheering crowd.
Phil King had little to say at the close
of the game. He was disappointed at the
showing of Wisconsin. That was plain
to be seen. He also admitted that Min
nesota had been underra ted and that her
playing was great surprise. He was of
the opinion that Minnesota would give
Chicago hard rub next Saturday.
Coach Leary SAID: wisconsin won the
game all right, but 1 think that Mime
sofa played about as good ball as they
did. And but for O'Dea's lucky kicking
we might have won Luck was certainly
with them, and cur misplays all resulted
0fsastrously. Their touchdowns were
made on 1ukes and when 1t is remem-
bered that the Minnesota team is com
posed almost entirely of green men, while
the Wisconsin team is che of veterans, ]
think we have much to be hopeful for.
l am well pleased with he playing of the
team, and the game turned out better
than I expected at the beginning"
Caut. Scandrett said: We played bet
ter ball than I expected we would, and ]
am satisfied with the work of the team.
At the end of the first half I hoped that
we would at least be able to keep Wis
consin from scoring, but our inexperience
lost US the game.
Capt. scandrett said. I've played bet
pressed himself as follows: Today
game was surprise to all of US, hearing
as we did all sorts of reports. ! knew
that Minnesota had improved during the
past week, but I did not think 1t possible
for them to put up the game they did.
Our work was a little ragged, due to over
confidence, but it taught us lesson that
will come in handy some time. We did
not think that we would have q snap,
and have found that we were justified in
so thinking. We have no complaints to
make over cur treatment, and [ am sorry
that this will be my last game with Min
neSota.
ODea was not at his best YESTERDAY
This was especially true in the first half
lie misjudged punts, too, many times and
his fumbling was decidedly yellow In
the second half he was in his old time
form and it was his work more thar
any other thing that gave Wisconsin hel
score.
