Saints Were Fighters.


ing team Northrop field this year. Coach
Mueller has been pounding the principles Of
ofense into his pupils in the pigskin kindergar-
ten and they folGwed his teachings. at one
time St. Thomas got the ball within kicking dis
lance of Minnesotas goal, and Conmy nerv1ly
tried for a goal from the field. His line held
well while the effort was on. The kick sailed
high, and In the stands there a general i'm
preston that Minnesota had been scored for
the first time of the year. The referee ruled
otherwise. 1t was close shave.
Minnesota suffered an unusual amount of pen
alties. Bobby Marshall was inclined to use his
hands a trihe in his work, and it proved ex-
pensive. Dan Smith also came In for bit of
lost ground thru st. Thomas man showing his
wrist into Dams hands and refusing to remove it,
He was naturally dragged a few feet before
Dan could make him get out of the way.
Earl Luce got into the game after Case was
retired. and showed the best work he has done
this year. The big lad carried the ball in
good shape and covered his end Of the line in
splendid style. Gleason made a great gain or
TWO, but was inclined to lose possession of the
ball. WV
Fumbling Was Common.
Fumbling was Minnesotas cardinal sin in yes
terday's game. 1t proved disastrous to permit
st. Thomas to hold the ball: Conmy was MAX
ing long punts down the field, and his ends we're
getting down like streaks of lightning to hold
back the returns. Minnesota lost on several
occasions thru the backs failing to get and re-
turn on Conmy's punts. Collitton, Fitzgerald,
Dugan. Shearon, Ophelan and Pennington won
the admiration of the crowd now and then by
neatly turned bits Of work. Conmy got away
