ST. THOMAS ELEVEN
DEFEATS SnATTUck
Fast Little Team From Farl-
bauIt Unable to Check
the Saints Rushes

The big husky eleven Of the st.
Thomas college won the intercollegiate
football championship for Carleton at
st. Thomas yesterday afternoon by ad-
ministering a thorough beating to the
speedy little Shattuck team that before
this contest promised to tie the North
field team for place. Score % to o.
The team from Faribault had no
chance in the game with the Saints
after the first ten minutes of play and
| it was hard to understand how st.
! Thomas lost out in the race for the
honors. The Saints that several weeks
| ago were unable to land the victories
that would have gained them honor
| jumped in, in this last game Of their
season, and played wonderful football.
The failure to secure a proper coach
alone explains the loss of the cham
pionship to st. Thomas. All through
the season the players Of this college
have worked hard attempting to In
struct each other in the game and al
most all the time without any outside
| direction. During the past several
George Mueller, the former Minnesota
player, have labored with the Saints,
and the result of the training was
shown yesterday afternoon.
st. Thomas played hard line
smashing game that could not fail. The
Shattuck team was outweighed several
pounds to the man, and this on the
hard slippery ground proved handt-
cap that rapidly discouraged the play
ers from Faribault. Losing their heads
the little fellows began to play up in
the air. and when this once started, the
| game was easy for the Saints.
st. Thomas made all her gains on
straight line bucks. Halfpenny rarely
tried to send the big backs around the
ends, and when he did send them, they
rarely gained. Cullerton was one of
the stars of the Saints for making dis
| lance, and Maloney and O'Shaugnessy
seldom failed when called upon.
Shattuck took the lead at the start.
| st. Thomas kicked off, and securing
| the ball, the little Faribault players
fought their way steadily down the
| field. Reddick and Iddings worked the
ends for several good gains and at
last the ball was pushed over. An
easy goal was kicked.
! The hard work in scoring now began
| to tell on Shattuck and though the
men put up desperate fight, the game
| began to look in the possession of st.
Thomas. Cullerton, Maloney, Dooley
and the others smashed against the
| line and the Shattuck men were I'M
able to check the rushes. Shattuck
| made the Saints fight for every inch
| of ground, but at last the 5-yard line
was crossed, and then st. Thomas car
ried the ball over A tumble was claim
| ed on the kickout and the Saints ended
| the first half with Shattuck holding the
| big end of the to score.
In the second half it was merely a
| question of how many touchdowns the
| Saints could make in the time allow
| ed. Shattuck in this half failed to
make their distances a single time
| against the Saints, while st. Thomas
| carried the ball down the field in
rushes, worth from to 10 yards Sew
eral fumbles saved Shattuck when her
| goal was in danger, but after warming
| up to their work, the Saints refused to
tumble and piled up their three touch
| downs.
The two teams played clean football
! all the way through and the hard con-
| dition Of the ground was alone re-
| sponsible for the majority Of the in
| juries received. The teams lined up
