MINNESOTA G
CHICAGO UNIVERSITY 6

The Chicago go-Minnesota game has been
played, and Stages crack team was
played to finish, walked over, run over
and tumbled over, and is still wondering
about the cyclone
Chicago scored, it is true, but the team
does not know how it happened, and it
was not its fault
From the Kickoff until the whistle blew
at the finish. Minnesota demonstrated her
superiority at every turn The maroon
and gold hammered holes in those Stand

through. First the team would lope
through the left end, then the right and
then, to vary the monotony, would take
punch at the center. 1t was terrific
football all through. Both sides PLAYED
with every bit of their Drawn and mus
Gle. Minnesota scored after about twen-
ty minutes OF play. and Chicago got over
the line Just tive minutes before time was
called for tie finish
1t seemed almost impossible that the
team that was making such great holes
in Chicago's line could be. the same ag-
gregat1on that lined up against the Cen
trai high school a few weeks ago. and
against Arnes only week earlier. Too
much credit cannot be awarded DIR. Will
hams for the work he has done and
members of the team for their constant
and intelligent practice. There was no
fumbfng or careless playing to be seen
In the contest yesterday afternoon. Chi
cago played a fierce uphill game, but
was plainly outclassed.
PRESIDENT NoRTHRoP EXCITED.
By 2:3o every seat on the grandstand
and bleacners was occupied, and when
the game was called there was not stand
ing room In the entire enclosure, outside
the gridiron itself. 1t was a most repre-
sentative gathering. Men prominent in
every business and profession we're in at
tendance, and all rooted like the young
est undergraduate Conspicuous among
those who cEeered the team on was Presi-
dent NoPthrop. When Aune carried tie
ball over the line for the touchdown, DIR.
Northrop stood on his chair. his white
hair tossing about in the breeze, alId
cf1eerea until he was exhausted. Ex-Sen-
ater " D. Washburn, ex Gov j. S. Pills
bury, Congressman Loren Fletcher and
ot er prominent citizens Of the Tw4n
tsitaes were also TO be seen In the fro7st
row of boxes. The fence, the roofs of
houses and the cross trees of telegraph
poles were all used az grand stand seats
by enthusiasts who were unable to enter
the grounds
One rather nasty incident occurred dur,
ing the game. When the teams were
ready tC line up DR.. Knipe, of Iowa, Who
was expected to umpire the game, could
not be found, and a man named Ander-
son. m assistant coach of the Wiseon-
sin team, was chosen to fill his pfaea.
During the game Dr. Williams dfscov-
cred that Mr.. Anderson was making dia-
grams of the Minnesota formations The
Minnesota coach informed the referee
w. w. Haffelfnger, of what was gong
on, and the latter made the Wisconsin
gentleman destroy the result of his labor
Aune was the most fortunate and the
most unfortunate. player on the home
team. His offensive work was par ex-
cellence;; he made the only touchdown
scored by Minnesota: he charged the cp-
posing line. with almost irresistible force.
and once made ten yards with two mea
hanging In his shoulders. But, withaI.
hds work at left end was weak Chicago
gained steadily around that end, and
after discovering its weakness, made it
the objective point for the mass plays.
GAME ONE-SIDED.
The game during the first half was very
much one-sided. Chicago won the loss
and kicked off. Minnesota lost the ball
on downs. Chicago then tried a place
kick, but fumbled, and the ball was once
more in the hands Of the homo team.
The crowd was breathless with excite
ment.- Here at last was the long looked
for opportunity to observe the defensive
work of the Chicago team For the first
few minutes the play was opeIr, ard it
was Impossible TO judge the merits of the
two, hut now that Minnesota had the
ball once more, mass plays were to be
expected. The crowd goI all and more
than it bargained for. Minnesota buck9d
the opposing team and brought the ball
from its own 35-yard line to the Chicago
15-yard line. Then the pigskin went 10
the other side on downs 1t remained in
the hands of the enemy for three downs.
and then the maroon and gold in enc
great concerted effort, carried it over
