STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL
STRENGTH YESTERDAY
VISITING TEAM WAS BLANKED
Iowans Beaten by 27 to o An n
Game IN Which Home Team
Showed Great Defensive
Strength.

The University OF Minnesota had
wall1oyer in it's game with Ames yeste
day afternoon, and, on the whole. it was
a creditable performance That is. the
team made a better showing than it has
at any previous time this season, and the
! least Improvement in Minnesota football
is something to chortle over. True, the
| Offensive work was weak, and the trick
played that worked so successfully
against the Iowa Agricultural college is
SO aged that it falters in moving. Still,
| the team was not scored against, which
| is something.
A strong wind benefiting both sides at
different times, tore down the field. 1t
switched about to the four points of the
compass, and was not to be relied ON at
any period of the game. The field was
| heavy and when the men lined up for the
Kickoff, it looked as If real fast, snappy
| football was out of the Question. The
contrast between the two teams was most
striking Ames averaged about 163
pounds, while the Minnesota boys looked
like giants beside them. The university
kicked of, and after five minutes Of play
1t, could be plainly seen that Ames had
no show when it came to concerted mass
plays. Every time the IoWanS ATTEMPTED
10 buck the line they lost the ball OF,
downs, ana after "a few trials punting
was resorted to invariably.
-5IuSTG were OuI lew luQINIQudl star
plays made in the game Fee, in his po-
Sition of lett tackle, played d heady,
careful game throughout, undoubtedly
making the best showing on the home
team. OF the five touchdowns scored, Fee
carried the bail over the line once Smith
twice and Flynn twice. Knowlton missed
| three out OF i've attempts at goal, one
| OF which should have been very easy
matter to place over the bar.
| Mason, the little left end of the Ames
| aggregation, would make a good showing
on any team in the country. He played
| football from the time the game started
untliit was over. His tackling was above
| criticism, and not single gain or any
! conSe quence was made around his emu
La Fans and Aune played a creditable
game. The game in detail is as follows:
