peat minnesota upon ner own I1OOr, SAID
one of the Wisconsin university team at
! the conclusion of the game Saturday
night in the varsity, armory. The outcome
| of the game added weight to the badger
players assertion. Minnesota scoring SO.
while Wisconsin got but IL points, all on
goals from fouls.
The badgers put much stronger team
on the floor than has represented the
university in some years. The individ-
| ual work was exceptionally fast, and the
| team play, while inferior to that of the
gophers, was good. Minnesota was able
to score only by the hardest kind of work.
At the beginning Of the game Minnesota
| exhibited little team play. A foul by the
gophers gave Steinmetz chance for a
free throw, and he put the sphere In the
basket with little effort.
The gophers steadied at this point. and
thereafter little doubt existed in regard
| to the outcome. Leach scored the first
goal by a pretty shot from the side line,
and after that the scores came fast,
i, the first half ending 20 to in Mime
sota's favor.
| In the second half Minnesota continued
! to score by field baskets and fouls until
the end Of the game. Captain Deering
was the star, getting six field baskets and
accepting eight out of eleven chances
for goals from fouls. Leach got five field
goals, Varco two, and Kiefer two. Tuck
1 was unable to connect with the basket
| but did good work on the defensive
Steinmetz of the badgers threw eleven
goals from the foul line out of fifteen
chances. Captain Potter put up a speedy
| game and won applause by his long
passes. The lineup:
