fercer every minute, and both sides
plainly showed the effects Of the pace,
tho Minnesota took out time much
more often. than Michigan.
NIichigan's Final Squirt.
An exchange Of punts followed, and
then Michigan braced, and played the
best football she showed during the
day. Yost had evidently instructed
his men to try fake interference plays,
and to send Heston against left tao
lkle, for these plays were used again
and again with goodsresults. Michi-
gan by the stiffest kind Of football,
got from her own ten-yard line to the
center or the nela.SFWneFe* she wills
penalized twenty wards and forced to
punt. Minnesota Followed suit, and
Michigan got the ball on her own
thirty -seven-yard line, and with a last
desperate squirt started for the goal
line. Current was forced to retire,
and Boeckmann went in at fullback.
This somewhat weakened Minnesota's
defense, and Michigan sent Heston
Maddox, Graver and Hammond
against the fast firing Minnesota line,
Irsfield and Davies were slowly weak
ening under the assault, and Michi-
gan's plays netted good gains. The
ball was pushed to the center of the
field, then to the thirty-five-yard line.
Heston got thru for fifteen more
yards, Y ost on the side lines chewed
up one cigar after another. The root

shifty Heston and the mighty Mad
dock were stopped for losses. Mime
sota, on the other hand, gained freely
thru Michigan's center and guards.
Michigan in Better Condition.
But, while Minnesota was outplay-
ing her opponents, the superior phys
zeal condition Of Michigan was appar-
ent. After almost every third down
a gopher player might be seen
stretched upon the ground. Davies,
Irsfed and Current fairly wore them
selves out throwing themselves in front
of the plunges Of the heavy wolverine
all three OF them were forced to retire,
their places being taken by Boeck-
mann, Bergen and Kremer. Against
the exhausted Minnesota line Michi-
gan hurled her heavy men in last
desperate assault. which finally gave
them the touchdown. The score was
tied by Minnesota after series of
fierce line plunges; but had Minnesota
been in as good physical condition as
Michigan, the wolverines would never
have scored, and the supposedly UNI
beatable Yost would have met his Wa
terloo. AS it was, DR.. Williams had
Yost beaten. Michigan's gains thru
the whole game We're a tribute to the
skill of Keene Fitzpatrick, the veter-
an Michigan trainer, who brought his
men on the field in magnificent phys
ical condition, and whose ability un-
questionably save the wolverines from
defeat.
The play Of the Minnesota team was
a surprise to even the most enthusi-
astic Of the adherents Of the maroon
and gold. The wolverines were picked
to win by the majority, as shown by
the odds of from 10 to Z to 2 to Of
fered on Michigan Saturday morning.
The Minnesota men hoped for victory,
but their hope was mixed with fore
boding. The prestige Of Yost's name
was such that the gopher supporters
feared he might once more prove in
vincible.
| Mimesota's Line Bucks Effective.
Yet in the first ten minutes of play
| it was evident that Minnesota had the
better team in everything except phys
ical condition. The terrific line plunges
of the gopher backs and forwards
were good for big gains. Once in this
half Minnesota carried the ball sixty
yards straight down the field, but
whenever Minnesota forced the fight
inside the Michigan twenty hve-yard
line, the wolverine forwards braced
and held for downs. Minnesota
guards were far superior to Michigan's,
and Strathern clearly outplayed Greg
Dry. Not once did the wolverines
pierce Minnesota's center for gain.
Even Minnesota's tackles showed up
better than Michigan's, and her ends
were impregnable. The gopher play
was fast and snappy and the interior
ence showed beautiful precision. The
i play was all in Michigan's territory
after the first few minutes Of this half,
and Michigan was on the defensive

punting helped Minnesota good deal.
In my opinion the score shows about
the relative merits of the team.
Lieutenant Nelly, referee-It was q
beauty. Minnesota's rally in the last
few minutes was the best football

best of Strathern; that the Michigan
tackles were better than Minnesota.
Minnesota guards were the better; the
ends went standoff. In the back

rying the ball down for her touch
down, Minnesota had the better of the
argument. She threatened Michigan's
goal seriously early in the half, when
forty-yard line to the ten-yard line,
only to lose 1t on downs. Immediate
ly after Michigan scored, Minnesota
forced the ball down into Wolverine
territory, and doggedly hammered at
the wolverine line until the ball was
forced over and Rogers kicked goal,
making the score to g.. In short,
Minnesota outplayed Michigan fully
fifty minutes Of the seventy; Michigan
outplayed Minnesota twenty minutes.
Minnesota was on the aggressive at
least two-thirds Of the time.
The crowd at the game was the
largest ever seen in the west, outside
of Chicago. The circus seats at the
east end of the gridiron were packed,
as were the bleachers on the west end,
which were reserved for standing
room. Grand stands and boxes We're
filled, and the crowd was lined up
eight deep outside the fences at either
end of the gridiron. 1t was almost
purely a Minnesota crowd, only a
small splotch Of maize and blue in
the middle Of the grand stand marking
the presence Of some 400 Michigan
rooters. More than 10000 persons
witnessed the game.
Gophers Start OFF Badly.
Minnesota started badly in the first
half. Sig Harris fumbled the kickoff
and was downed at the 15-yard line.
Then on the third down, Harris sig
nailed a punt, but the pass was poor,
Harris fumbled, and Michigan got the
ball at the 15-yard line. It was an
inauspicious opening. Michigan, with
only three first downs to make for a
score, attacked Minnesota's line fierce
ly, but the maroon and gold, fresh
and mighty hearted, held like ada
mant, and Minnesota got the ball,
rushed few yards, and Harris booted
it out of danger. An exchange OF
punts followed, and soon tumble cost
Minnesota the ball. Tom Hammond
broke thru for ten yards, placing the
ball on Minnesota's third-yard line,
but Minnesota soon held for downs
This was the last time in the half
when Michigan seemed to have even
a remote chance of scoring. Shortly
afterward, Minnesota got the ball on
a penalty at the center Of the field
and started march toward j Mich
igans goal line. The play was fast
and vicious. Michigan held for downs

STATISTICS OFoTHE GAME.

When ten thousand shouting, fran
tic men poured out upon the grid
iron at Northrop field and cut short
the Michigan Minnesota football game
Saturday, they ended one of the great
est games the west has ever seen. It
was great from the Viewpoint of the
critic, for the football played by both
teams was OF the highest order. 1t
was great from the viewpoint Of the
spectator, because both teams were
evenly matched, and the play, tho at
all times vicious, was clean.
4 Coach Yost of Michigan had ex-
ipected a hard game, but he was con-
dent of winning. Yet, SO far as Yost

Minnesota Shows Great Nerve.
With only few minutes left to
play, it looked dark for Minnesota.
Sig Harris, however, caught Michi-

back thru the whole team, until he
was finally downed on the forty-fve-
yard line, after carrying the ball for
ty-five yards. Hope sprang anew in
the breasts of the Minnesota rooters.
The Gophers attacked Micnigan's line
with vicious smashes, Kramer taking
Irsfeld's place at right half. The
fresh backs did some great bucking,
and with Schacht making from three to
five yards at each plunge, Minnesota
quickly pushed the ball to Michigans

penalty forced Harris to punt. Big

DR.. Williams of Minnesota-It was

was stronger than Michigan.

There used to be rule late in the

partment. All visitors there were re-
quired not to smoke within the old
building. A story used to be told by
Lieutenant James Hutchinson, former

teers, that Grant, when lieutenant
general, approached the building, a
cigar in his mouth. A veteran Of the
reserve corps, which Hutchinson COM
manded, was on guard. Hutchinson

quietly threw the cigar away. General

to smoke within the building, but it is
said this never was suggested by Gen

choked, but his open arms were more
eloquent than words.
She paused irresolutely, but only for
moment. Then she stepped forward
quietly, and his arms closed around
her. AS his bearded cheek rested
against hers he caught the whisper,

the two sat in the little parlor. AS his
big, brown hand closed over hers he
told her how his heart had yearned to
share his grief with her, but how
pride had held him back till Ford's
tale of her privations had conquered
his stubbornness. Hot tears rolled
down his cheeks, and it was the girls
tender voice that comforted.
Again the music sounded-the parade
was coming back-and the whistle of
the afternoon train added Its shrill
notes to the familiar air of marching
Through Georgia." But the two on
the big sofa had ears only for lost
voice.
Little Nellie, playing happily on the
porch, heard the music stop short and
a burst of cheering go up. Then the
band struck up again, but it could not
drown the cheers. Then down the
street they came-the Horizon hose,
the Rescue hook and ladder, the Grand
Army veterans and the MasOns. Nellie
came flying into the parlor, with cries
of Come! Conner and the two re-
