in the
ThnqB Bets erFoobaH Games

After being pushed, showed and
dragged about the fields of Ann Arbor
and Madison by the Michigan and Wis
consin teams, the plucky little Badgers
from Beloit came to Greater Northrop
field yesterday afternoon and were de-
feated by Minnesota. Final score, 46
to 0.
Michigan defeated Beloit by the score
of 70 to 0, and then Wisconsin piled
up 81 points against HOLSTERS little
men. Minnesota contented herself
with a paltry 46 points.
At first glance these scores frighten,
but the friends of Minnesota are Of
fered in this game with Beloit no
chance to desert the maroon and gold.
Yesterdays game can tell the crit
les nothing.
1t might be said that Minnesota
played her second team against the
eleven from the Wisconsin college.
There was no chance offered to COM
pare scores.
Capt Rogers and Burdick, the two
Minnesota ends were out of the game,
the pair being called upon by the Hen
nepin county courts to do jury duty.
O'Brien was out, and, after the game
was fairly started, the regular men
retired one by one and substitutes
went in in their places Minnesota
piled up 80 points in the first half with
pfdCUcdlly NAH Il Iedus dHu,~WIIn Tic
entire regular Gopher lineup in, all
who watched the game know that Min
nesota could have scored at will and
easily passed the marks made by the
Wolverines and the Badgers.
Despite the fact that they had not
the slightest chance, HOLSTERS men
played a plucky game. The defeats by
the big teams appear to have hardened
the little Badgers, and from beginning
to end they worked faithfully, and
once during the game were almost re-
warded with a score against Mime
sota
This narrow escape for the Gophers
came at the windup of the first half,
when the Minnesota men, put into
their own territory by an exchange of
punts and a punishment of 20 yards
for holding in the line, attempted to
punt out of danger Beloit blocked
the punt and Mills fell on the ball on
Minnesota's 2-yard line. Mills was
given the ball and Beloit hit the Go
pher line hard, but Minnesota refused
to bulge, and the little halfback was
thrown back for a 2-yard loss. Before
the little fellows could try again the
whistle sounded for the end of the half.
Mills and the little colored end,
Strothers, were the stars of the Belo1t
team and the colored boy Marshall
won special mention on the Minnesota
kicking department for the Gophers,
and, in addition to kicking, every goal
from touchdowns dropped the ball
through the posts twice on place kicks.
He missed two attempts, one of them
by but a few inches, the ball striking
one of the goal posts.
