The eleven undergraduates who compose
the football team of the University of
Minnesota, defeated the team from
Grinnell, To-, on Northrop field yesterday
afternoon, by a score of 26 to 0. Said
young undergraduates were not COM
PEELED to work very hard to accomplish
this end, as the Grinnell men were much
lighter than they, and were at the dis
advantage of being on stFaie5e grounds.
The contest was not particularly inter
esJing, as it could be easily seen from
the first that the home team outclaSsed
the visitors. The latter played quite as
good ball as the former, but the differ
ence of twenty pounds to the man told,
and they were never in it. During the
first part of the first half and the end
of the second, Minnesota played good hard
ball.
Minnesota won the game yesterday by
the same tactics as were used against
the Chicago team week ago There
were few open plays, line bucking for
big gains being the order of the day.
The u" won the toss and took the
south goal, thereby getting the advant-
age of the strong southeasterly wind.
Both teams started in to play unusually
fast ball. but Minnesota kept the pig
skin in her opponents territory, and in
side of five minutes forced it over the
line for a touch down. Tweet carried the
ball over and Mueller missed the goal.
Score to 0.
After this a period of hard uphill work
on the part of Grinnell, and most casual
playing on the part of the home team,
commenced. The visitors tried every
trick they knew to make gains, but the
best they could do was to keep the ball
in about the center of the gridiron Min

Both teams broke through the opposing
line to block punts, and made short
gains around the ends. Hassman tried
