'Mankato
Victorious
New Uzn1 High School
SuStains Defeat,
But it was the Best Game of Foot Ball
Ever Played on the Local Grounds.

Ever flayed on the Local Grounds.
A small but enthusiastic crowd wit
messed the game offootball on Satur-
day between the High School team of
Mankato and New Ulm. The playing
(of New Ulm, although an improvement
ovel that of a week ago, was still open
to much criticism. The chief and ap-
parent fault, and one that was as notica-
BILE in the playing of Mankato as that
of New Ulm, was the frequency of tum-
bles. The first touchdown scored by
Mankato within the first minute Of the
game, was due to an apparently unpar-
donable tumble on the part of New
Ulm. The tendency to tumble is due
to the fact that half of the New Ulm
players do not seem to know bow to
carry the bail when making run.
Another fault and the one that was
the cause of Mankato's long gains was
| the failure on the part of some of the
New Ulm players in getting into every
play.
New Ulm, although very fair in their
offensive work were very weak, on the
defensive.
