Haskell Indians o

The Minnesota football team got busy
yesterday and took good fall out of
DR. Williams anxiety, and Incidentally
depleted the treasury Of the Haskell In
dian school. The husky Gophers proved
themselves better ice rafterS than Good
Brother Red Water and his tribe of red
men, and located the north pole five
times while the Indians got no farther
rorth than Franz Josef land.
Good luck attended the Gophers, aid
although there was every opportunity
fer a fluke of some kind, fortunately none
happened, and the Minr esota aggrega-
ton will probably go to Wisconsin with
an uncrossed line record.
1t was the most exciting game played
in Minneapolis this season, and from
start to finish it was fast and furious,
giving the crowd numerous occasions to
keep warm. Although the result was
never in doubt from the first, there was
always 6 chance for something to hap
pen, the way the redEnen were playing,
and no one cared to leave the field before
the game was over.
Indians Very Fast.
The Indians played the fastest game
that has been put up against the Gophers
this year and kept them busy every min
ute. They played a fierce, sharp game
all the time, and more than once it look
ed as if they would make good their
threat to cross the Minnesota line But
the Gophers played fiercely as well, 2Hd
whenever things began to look bad they
took brace and turned the trick in time
ITO save serious consequences. Although
the field was hard and slippery, and
and while both teams played with daring
recklessness, there was not accident
to any of the players. Mueller was taken
out in the latter end of the game, but
simply because he was rot in form and
his shoulder was still giving him trouble
The feature of the game was the good
all-around work of all the men on both
teams. While there were particular stars
on each side, yet every man on both
teams was given his chance and improv-
ed it generally.
The Indians smashed up the varsity
| defense more than any Other team that
( has played here. The condition of the
| field was responsible for many of the
! gains made by both sides, but the fact
remains that the Indians made their dis
lance on downs FIVE times oftener than
did. Iowa.
They displayed remarkable endurance
and vitality for SO light a lot of men.
They came out of every scrimn1age snil-
ing and eager to go at it again. On five
different occasions when Minnesota was
within five yards of the goal the redmea
held and secured the ball The distin-
gushing characteristic of the Indians
play was their activity. Several times
when one of them fumbled the ball an
other one would get it before a Mime
sofa man could fall on It,
he Minnesota team played an excep-
tlonally good game considering all the
disadvantages of the day Their inter-
3 ference was hardly so good as that of
;. the Indians, but their line bucking and
end work was splendid.
HOyt and Aune the Stars.
The bright particular stars for Mime
sofa We're Hoyt and. Aune. Aune was
moved to right tackle, and Hoyt took his
place at right end. Hoyt's offensive work
was the best done by Minnesota end
this year. Hoyt made the first touchdown
within twelve minutes after play was
commenced Hoyt's playing during the
entire first half was cyclonic in it's ag-
gressiyeness. He played like a f1end
When the Indians kicked off after Min
nesota's third touchdown, Hoyt caught
the ball and made sixty yard run be-
fore he was finally thrown by the full
back.
Aune was sent through the line time
and again for straight plunges of ten and
fifteen yards, and whenever he tried he
made good.
Rogers and Thorpe also played fine
games Indeed all the men played so well
that it is almost unfair to single out any
one in particular for special comment.
Every man on the team was given the
ball several times, and they al acquitted
themselves with great credit. The In
dams left end was especially strong and
whenever Minnesota hit it, they We're
generally held. Most all the gains were
made around the other end of Tic line.
Red Water Busy.
For the Indians, Red Water and Carl
did the best work, although the halves
did excellent work in breaking throa gh
the lines to smash up the formation Red
Water is one of the best guards that has
played here this year. He pushed Muel-
Ter all over the field AND over and over
again he was able to push Mueller aside
and get through in time to smash up the
Minnesota play. Finally Williams took
Mueller out and sent Big Nose Strathern
in. Strathern paid particular attention to
the big Indian guard and thereafter Mr.
Red Water found that he had his hands
full Strathern was more than a match
/. for Red Water, and threw him back
nearly every time he. attempted to break
through the line. For the short time
