Minnesota Played Well.
All the men played well yesterday. Do
bic, La Fans, Rogers, Knowltonr and
Mueller were the particular stars. Do
bic played like Trojan throughout, ard
his name was on everybody's tongue. He
played fiercely, yet with excellent judg-
ment. He made great gains by the clev-
crest lodging ever seen on the grounds,
and he made some splendid runs With the
ball on double passes. He fully justified
the opinion of Dr. Williams: 'Dobie is
one of the greatest backfield players In
the entire country" La Fans was per
haps the most consistent ground gamer
He never tried for a gain without MAX
ing it. His sixty-f1ve-yard run for the
second touchdown of the game was one
OF the most sensati onal plays in Mime
sofas football history. Rogers played
much better than he has at any time
since he Joined the team. His line
bucking was good, and he circled the
ends for good gains over and over again,
and backed Dobie up in fine shape.
KnoWlton'S work was, as it always Is
perfect. He missed no chance to back up
the line, and the way in which he broke
through the opposing line was superb.
He outpunted his opponents. Mueller
broke up many plays on the other side,
tackled well, and played a steady game.
The whole team played strong, con-
sistent game throughout.
The Iowa team was, If anything
tri1e faster than the Gophers, but 1t
counted for little. Only four times were
they able to make their gains on downs,
and were repeatedly forced to kick. They
couldn't get through the line and they
were thrown back for losses when they
attempted to go around the ends. 1t was
clear from the first play that there was
not the slightest chance for Iowa to
score, unless through some unforeseen
fiuke.
Minnesota was not altogether success
full in bucking the Iowa line. This was
? largely owing to a slowness In getting
started. The Iowa backs broke through
repeatedly and stopped the Minnesota
plays The Iowa tackles also PLAYED a.
magnificent defensive game and time and
again they tripped up the end runs of the
Gophers. Minnesota made it's best gains
around the end. Dr. Williams has evil
IDENTIFY relied more upon line-bucking
than end playing, but there seems to be
opportunity for splendid work in this re-
spect, with a little practice. Dobie was
given the ball on the double pass num-
Der of times during the game, and 1t was
decided advantage to get him into the
play.
HOyt Made Good.
Hoyt, last years old reliable end, was
i'll the game for just two minutes and five
seconds, but in that time he made
touchdown, and a sensational one at that.
Hoyt had been itching to get into the
game. He waltzed UP and down the side
lines, watching his comra 1As fighting for
supremacy, and just danced with irrita-
ton because he was out of the fray.
I'D just like to be in five minutes and
then I'd die happy" he said several
times. When the Gophers hit the line
and We're held Hoyt said: "Why don't
they go around that emo. l wish l had
one try at it, just one.' When Williams
went down the line Hoyt said TT wish I
was in this, Doe" Hoyt's chance came
at last. Minnesota had the ball ON Iowa's
twenty-yard line, with less than three
minutes to play They had been fighting
desperately for touchdown, and had
twice lost the ball, but worked it hack
again. Things looked very bad for the
locals. There seemed little hope for an
other touchdown in so short a time. and
the boys were hitting the tine and max
ing but few gains. Suddenly something
happened. Boyer Aune, the great end
was ruled off the field for fouling, and
il was unquestionably an unfair ruling
but it gave Hoyt his chance. Aune had
not walked three feet before Hoyt was
in his place. We'll you've got that
chance shouted the other subs. The
team was ali lined up, and Dobie called
out the signals There was a flash, and
Hoyt tore around the right end like a
belt of lightning. 1t was done so quickly
and Iowa had not expected to see new
man given the ball at once, and they
were half caught off their guard, but
they went for him. 1t was a close shave.
But Hoyt was full Of ginger, and he fair
ly flew over the ground, jumping over an
Iowa man on his way and dodging the
fullback, until he planted the ball safely
over the 'uncrossed' goal line of the
Hawkeyes. Then the crowd went wild
Hoyt had kept his word Poor Aune
