Minnesota made twenty-one points more last
Saturday than in last years game with Law
-! renee, but the badgers explain that their team
was then far superior to this years eleven.
Minnesota played q careless game In the MAN,
Only four Of the players remained In the game
from beginning to end, substitutes being sent in
| early in the contest. There was, of course,
occasion to work hard and take chances of In
juring players, with the Wisconsin game only
week away. The team seemed to play together
fairly we'll, but there was so little dash to the
movements that there not much opportunity
to note whether not there has been any i'm
prOvement
Either Lawrence Is especially brilliant at end
runs or Minnesota was discouragingly weak and
it looked ii the latter condition RESPONSE
Bile for Of the developments of Saturday
afternoon. which caused the rooters to hold their
breath with anxiety until Harris stilled their
fears Marshall was out of the game, and
while this brilliant lad hold his own any
where in the west. the followers of the Mime
sofa team naturally become apprehensive when
considering the substitute material.
''Sig'' In Form.
| Harris played at quarterback and it filed
| the old guard with pleasure to see his bullying
piano legs making quarterback and running
back kicks to watch his reassuring confidence
Las he waited to bear down upon runner who
had broken away from the bunch. The team
was not playing with any great speed and
Harris probably ran the eleven as fast as 1t
would go.
! O'Bren was at right half in the first half
and did excellent work In carrying the ball dur
|
Smith at guard only few minutes and
Brush was not in the lineup at all. These strong
men are needed against Wisconsin, and are being
saved.
| A detailed story Of the making of twelve touch
downs will doubtless be of very little interest to
The our q readers. Every man was
given the ball and felt disgraced If he did not
make at least five yards for first down. Once
in while 1t would be necessary to make two or
three trials in order to gain the distance, but
this was rarely the Occasionally a Law
renee player would break thru the Minnesota
line to get the with the ball. btu even
then it possible to make substantial gain.
Long runs too frequent to mention, Harris,
Davies and O'Brien giving some nice exhibitions
of shifty work when running with the ball thru
a broken field. '-e!
