The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-11-05

Strathern was in the game he put up the
real article.
Knewlton had far the better of the
punting. Twice the Minnesota players
blocked the Indians attempt to kick and
got the ball.
One of the pleasing features of the
game was the fine spirit displayed by the
visitors. They were the best natured an
tagonists Minnesota has run against.
They took their medicine with the best
grace possible. They came out of every
play smiling good-naturedly, and quite
took the crowd by their sportsmaniike
attitude throughout.
The unpleasant feature of the game was
the incompetent refereeing. The crowd
manifested its displeasure frequently at
this feature The referee had to occa-
sionally consult the rule book. While he
gave Minnesota the worst OF several
deals, he more than evened up on the
inoffensive Indians
Mueller Was In.
There was considerable speculation on
the part of the audience as to What
Mueller's playing meant. While Haskell,
not being a member of the big nine con-
ference, could not protest him, it looked
rather queer that Williams would play
man who was to be barred from the Wis
conSin game rather than try out some
new men for the position in view Of the
fact that the all important contest is less
than two weeks away. 1t was rumored
that Mueller was to be allowed to play
the season out. 1t was also said that
Wisconsin would not protest Mueller if
Minnesota would not protest .Schrieber.
1t is not at all probable however, that
any such agreement would be made, and
if Mueller is to play there is a better rea-
son for than that.
When the Minnesota officials took
look at Northrop field yesterday morning
they regretted that they had not played
the game on Saturday. The field was one
mass of ice. and looked more like a
skating rink than a football field. 1t was
entirely out of the question to play on
the field, and after arguing in vain with
the Haskell people to declare the game
off altogether, the mana cement decided
TO play out on the open campus. 1t was
well along toward starting time when
they came to this decision. and it was
after o'clock before they had the goal
posts up, and the yard lines marked off.
The game represented a big loss to the
Minnesota management for even the most
patriotic could hardly be persuaded to
put up their coin for a ticket when it
was possible to see the game for moth
ing. About 1000 people shiVered through
the two hours play. and there were evil
dences that the Haskell team did not
have any monopoly on Red " alter.
The campus was covered with snow
and ice. but was softer than the field, by
about one chance in hundred. The
campus was so slippery that neither team
could do its best on defensive or offensive
play. Both teams were pushed all over
the field. The day was too cold even for
football Each team kept blanket
brigade handy, and whenever time was
called the blanket brigade rushed out
and covered up the heroes of the battle.
Indians Dropped Coin.
The Indians supporters dropped a large
Nad Of coin on the game They were
confident OF scoring, and as the game ap-
preached they became more and more
confident of being able to play the Co
piers to a standstili. They covered all the
Minnesota money that was up, and OF
fered bets freely up to the time the game
began. They bet .on: two propositions;
first, that they would score; and second,
that there would not. be Is points differ
ence in the score of the teams. 1t was a
bad day to bet against the scoring propo-
sition, because aLflrlke was likely to hap
pen at any time upon the slippery field
Nevertheless the Minnesota hackers were
game, and Loyalty covered the money of
fered by the Haskell people. i
Phil King watched the game from the
top of hack. The fact that he has
made three trips Up here, the last. one. in
company with the Badger captain, would
indicate that he is not overwhelmed with
confidence in the ability of his team to
defeat the Gophers.
DR.. Williams was very well satisfied
with the work Of his team.
Game in Detail.
Minnesota kicked off to Fails, who re-
and by steady ground gains through the
center and tackle, succeeded in pushing

Minnesota's star man, and in revolv-
ng-wedge took the ball for ten yards
