HAMLINF DEFEATS
FARMER SCHOOL
s. A. u. M. Team Plays Fast
Game, but Lacks
Experience.

The school of agriculture played its
first regular game yesterday afternoon,
and was defeated by Hamline by
score of II to O.
The Hamline team. owing to slight
misunderstanding did not arrive until
after half past four, SO the length of
the halves was cut down to fifteen min
utes. Otherwise the score would have
been larger, as the Methodists in both
individual work and team work were
way ahead of the farmers.
Some allowance must be made. how
ever, for the farmers began practice
only two weeks ago and up to that time
many of their players had never
played the game. Then all their prac-
tice has to be done in the evening, as
their days are all filed up. Still, there
is lot of good material in the farm
school, and Coach Aune should have
pretty good team by the end Of next
season.
Some of the men are heavy. and all
are willing to play. Graham at left
end was the star of the team, tackling
the runner for loss several times and
making several gains. Simpson also
played a fair game.
The Hamline team played a good
game. Their interference was strong
and the offenSe was swift for the poor
the farmers to make a gain. This.
however, was due in part to the slow
work of the latter.
The chief fault of the Methodists was
fumbling but it never resulted serious
ly, since the farmers were always
held for downs before the danger
point was reached. The work of the
line in blocking kicks was also ex-
cellent.
Simpson kicked off for the farmers
only fifteen yards to Gilmore, who was
downed in his tracks. Hamline made
two short gains and then fumbled.
The farmers were thrown back on
the next two plays and then were
given FIVE yards for Hamlines offside.
on the next play the farmers fumbled,
and Schooley, the Hamline quarter
dived over the line, picked the bali UP,
and ran sixty yards for a touchdown.
Kennedy missed goal.
Hamline kicked off to Harper on the
twenty five-yard line. Harper re-
turned the ball five yards. The ball
was exchanged twice on fumbles and
then the farmers had to punt. Ham
line then went ahead and by tandem
formations carried the ball forty yards
for a touchdown by Caldwell. Kenne-
dy kicked goal.
After a series of fumbles by both
teams and a blocked kick, the half
possession in their own thiry-yard
line. Score, Hamline, II; S. A. U.
NJ, 0.
Hamline kicked off in the second
half to Simpson on the farmers five
yard line, Simpson returned the ball
thirty-five yards. The farmers were
thrown back, and their kick was
blocked. Hamline then carried the
ball to the farmers five-yard line.
Here she was penalized ten yards, but
the distance was promptly made up
and Endersbee went over for the third
and last touchdown.
Simpson kicked off to King on
Hamline's twenty-yard line. King ran
back fifteen yards before being downed.
Hamline made a few gains and then
was penalized twenty yards. The ball
was carried back thirty five yards in
Guiding a twenty-yard run around
right end by Schooley. Hamline was
again penaliZed twenty, and then Ken
nedy punted forty five yards to Scores,
