In a hard fought battle on very fast
field Minnesota again made good her
claims to championship form yesterday
afternoon by defeating Northwestern by
q to O.
At no time during the contest was the
goal Of the home team In the slightest
danger and three-fOurths of the PLAYING
was done on Northwestern territory. The
game was called on account of darkness,
else Minnesota would have certainly have
made another touchdown, and probably
two.
The visitors put up a game. T,nt but
were battered and hammered to a stands
still, and Minnesota could have dons
practically as she pleased with them.
ANTHEM pTAVG ADI, IITT1,JT
The tandem plays with which North-
western expected to gain so much ground
We're worse than useless, hardly foot
being gained during the game by their
use, while losses were recorded several
times through them The visiting ends
were tremendously speedy but Mime
sofa, that is to say, Dobie and Hoyt,
proved to be equally fast, and here again
superior weight did its work.
The day was almost too cold foi the
spectators, but an effort had been made
to get the field into something like play
able condition, and to this end it had
been scraped, making it hard and fast.
The snow had not all been removed in
portions, and sometimes after a scriln-
mage the men would arise from the
ground covered with frost from head TO
foot.
The visitors are reported to average III
day, particularly after the Minnesota
men came on. AS the men tossed the
balls about the band played and the
crowd hurrahed.
Minnesota won the toss and chose her
lucky south goal for the first half, aNd
Baird, the left guard and star kicker of
the visitors, put the pigskin in play at
2:53. Northwestern started in to play
like a whirlwind, and for q time managed
to hold the opposing line well, until it
got the ball on a foul. Then end runs
were put into play Elliott, assisted by
excellent interference got around Aune
for twenty yards, and that was the fin
ish of the end plays for that portion Of
the game. An attempt was made 10
send Johnson around Hoyts end, result
ing in q loss of ten yards for the ViS-
Itors, and still one more trial was made
until Minnesota got the ball on downs.
The ball was then in Northwestern ter
ritOry.
Minnesota contented herself during the
first half by following her usual mode
of procedure, sending Van ValkenburS,
Fee and Aune through the line for gains,
until the ball was lost on a tumble on
the Northwestern ten-yard line. Then
the speedy little pair, Elliott and john
son, were sent around the ends for
twenty-five yards, when 1t again went to
Minnesota on a punt on the third down.
The old style was picked up once more,
mass plays making Big gains for the
home team, until Aune plunged through
the opposing mass, carrying the oval
across the goal line for the first touch
down Knowlton missed a hard goal,
and the score stood TO O.
An exchange Of punts marked the
next period, Mipnesota coming out aAea1
on the kicking. Then the game was
Il -n1sg
of Dobie Now and then an end run
would have worked except for the mar
velous agility of the Minnesota quarter
back who was always on hand to down
the runner before any very large gains
could be recorded. Northwestern, ap-
preciating that it was impossible to get
around the ends, charged the line like an
cnraged bull, giving the home all vt
wanted to do to hold Time was called
as the visiting team, which had secured
the ball on tumble, was lined up for
what was evidently another attempt at
an end play. After the touchdown was
scored the majority of the playing was
done in the center Of the gridtron.
CHANGE OF TACTICS.
After time was called for the second
half the home team changed its tactics
considerably, mass plays being alternated
by end runs. van NdkeHOGIS OPc4lCO
the ball by going around Elliotts end for
twenty-five yards. and then, after pound
ing the guards and tackles for gains
Hoyt was sent through between Hansen
and Elliott for twenty-five yards and
touchdown They way he shook off the
opposing team was picturesque IN the
extreme. and as he planted tine ball
souarely behind the goal posts the crowd
went wild with enthusiasm. Knowlton
kicked a goal, making the score IL to 0.
Three minutes after the kickoff for
the next period the ball was once
more in Northwestern territory. Both
teams were playing a tremendous game.
La Fans broke through the line for ten
yards, carrying most OF the opposing
team on his back. and a few moments
later Van Valkenburg advanced it fifteen
more The visitors were plainly becom-
ing weakened. They played ferceiy,
but could make little gains while the
ball was in their possession, and failed
to hold as we'll as they had been doing.
The leather was forced to the twenty
yard line and place kick was attempt-
ed 1t was poor trial. the ball flying
