MINNESOTA
WISCONSIN

Minnesota defeated Wisconsin on North
rop Held yesterday afternoon by score
of 6 to o. In doing SO she proved her
team. 1t was by far the hardest con-
test the local men have had to fight this
season, and was won entirely en- its
merits.
Minnesota played with vim, dash and
spirit that has seldom been equaled and
never excelled in Western football. Su-
perior training and nerve won the game,
for both teams were about equal so far
as science is concerned.
One cannot say too much in praise of
the work DIR. Williams and his eieven
have accomplished this season.
Yesterdays game was universally &C
knOwledged the most important one of
the series, and the result was viewed
with trepidation by the friends of the
university. There was no necessity for
any fear. That could be seen almost as
soon as the play commenced.
From the very start the home men
Outplayed the visitors, showing superior
Judgment and much better training. The
celebrated end plays of Wisconsin We're
several times, but were invariably fore
stalled by the rapid work of the Mime
sofa men. Although much of the sec
ond half was played in home territory,
when they had the ball than did WiScon-
sin. The visitors scored through a fun
HE on the part of Dobie, while the home
team carried the ball over the line by a
series of fierce rushes.
GREAT CROWD AT THE GAME.
Fully 5000 persons witnessed the strug-
gle for what is practically the cham
p.onship of the Northwest Every avail
cupied, standing room being at pre-
MUM. The fence, the roofs of nearby
houses, trees and telegraph poles were
used as points of vantage by those who
could not get inside the grounds The
grandstand was nlled, or course, one
and being occupied by the sympa thizars
OF Wisconsin and the balance by Mime
sofa enthusiasts. The 'rooters'' were
gathered in large numbers on the bleach
crs, and it is only due to them to say
that they did their share towards help
ing the team to victory.
In the boxes were President Nor throp,
who beamed all over after the toucn-
down had been made; .ex-Gov. Pillsbury.
and many other prominent citizens. 1t
Is safe to say that the majority of those
present were fully as much interested
in the contest between the undergradu-
ates yesterday as they will be in the out
come of the election of q president of the
United States next tuesday When
Minnesota held her opponents for downs
on her own three yard line the audi
dren alike cheering themselves hoarse.
The day was a perfect one for good
ball, little wind being astir, and a cloud
less blue sky overhead. The rains of
the early part of the week had made the
field in excellent shape the white yard
lines standing out well on the soft earth
and none of the diSagreeable aust of the
previous weeks being in evidence
Wisconsin came on the field at 2:31,
amid the cheers of their constituents
The Minnesota contingent "sized" the
men up for few moments, the general
feeling being that the team was heavier
than was expected. A few seconds later
the Minnesota boys ran down the grid
iron and put in few moments passing
the ball to and fro. The bands from the
two universities struck up, the crowd
howled it's approval and pandemonium
reigned.
