they were shut out. Final score, 4

of the gilt-edge kind. They played an
errorless game and batted the ball
consecutively. That tells the story of
the game. One particular feature was

Chicago, Nov. 21.-According to
Prof. Long, Of the Northwestern uni
versity board Of athletic control, Ref
cree Mccarthy, who officiated In the
Minnesota orthwestern game Sat
day, is of the opinion that the two
teams could have defeated Michigan

WHAT THE COACHES SAY:
DR.. Williams: Our team did not play
as fast a game as it did against Wis
consin last week. Brush, Case, Thorpe
and Current all had injuries, which
slowed them down considerably. The
loss of Strathern affected our playing
greatly. Northwestern played a great
defensive game. Th1er line charged
very fast. Coach Mccormack was
right in saying he had one of the
fastest teams in the country. We
shall not claim the championship over
Michigan, but we think we have an
equal claim with them, and we be-
lieve we could beat them if we had
the chance"

one or two instances. When the purple menaced

upon the team. ''Mose" is the idol of every
man on the team, and when they marched on
the field of play without him every player felt
out of sorts and 'shaky." There was nothing
like lack of confidence in Max Kicker, who
took Strathern's place. Every man knew that
Kicker would play the game as long as he could
stand on his feet. Kicker has been trained as
guard this year, and it asking much of him
to play the center. 1t called for the laying
