OF PLAYING

Madison, Wis, Nov. 2S.-Minnesotaa
defeated Wisconsin by the decisive
score of II to 0 yesterday afternoon,
and the Gophers claim the WESTERN
football championship on comparisonI
of scores.
Coach Williams said after the game
that he believed his team was fairy
entitled to the championship.
Minnesota played Michigan a tie
game of to and the Wolverines
made only one touchdown and two
goals from the field against the Badg-
ers, while the Gophers. yesterday
made three touchdowns.
" The Wisconsin coaches and men lay
their defeat to the superior weight and
splendid team work of the Gophers.
Clearly outplayed by their Minnesota
opponents, but fighting fiercely to the
very edge, Wisconsins football heroes
went down gracefully to defeat. All
of the scoring was
Done in the Second Half.
Three times Wisconsin failed by
small margins to kick goals from the
field; twice the ball went wide on free
kicking after fair catches made forty
five yards from the goals.
Minnesota also failed to make
free kick. Her score was made by
straight football touchdowns, coming
as result of terrific line plunging and
clever end runs.
The Gophers' weight and team work
were the main factors in giving them
victory. The Badgers averaged fifteen
pounds lighter per man. They played
fast and snappy game, but We're
worn out in the second half BIZ, the
terrific hammerfng OF the Gophers.
1t was only in kicking that Wiscon-
sin excelled. Baine and Bush each
averaged better than forty yards on
their punts. Had Wisconsin not de-
veloped so strongly kicking during tho
past two weeks the Gophers might
easily have doubled the score.
Played Clean Game.
The Badgers played a beautifully
clean game, likely because their op-
ponents' methods have been under
strong suspicion this year. The Goph-
ers also played clean ball. i
Minnesota's lineup was unchanged
at the end of the game. The men
came out badly battered but still in
fighting shape Wisconsin suffered Sc
we're loss by each of her substitutions.
The first came almost Immediately af-
ter play began when Fullback Scofeld
was replaced by Clark. The second
was the loss of Capt. Abbott shortly
afterward.
Minnesota's offense was superb.
The Badgers were often carried of
their feet, especially during the first
ten minutes of play. Catapault play
end pull along plunges Though the
line netted big gains. Wisconsin used
practically no trick plays. Her gains
were made by line smashes over
tackle and around the end. There was
scarcely any wind.
