Minnesota, Battling to Her Utmost,
Beaten but Not Disgraced---Great
Game Full of Sensational Plays.

anything that came his way. He was
as solid as rock even when the full
force of the heavy mass plays were d.
rected at his position.
Theodore Vita, playing with badly
wrenched knee, was a marvel to those
who knew his condition. Out of the
chap went in yesterday and played as
tho his life depended upon it.. He
could care for his own position, but his
disability kept him from speedy work
in getting into the support of KEEL

time.
Kjelland' s Plucky Battle.
Kielland at center was the hero Of
the ganle-in Minnesota eyes at least.
This nervy little chap, whom Remp out
weighed by about thirty pounds, gave
Wisconsin g veteran center the fight Of
his life Kjelland was too light to do
a great real in defensive play, and the
heavy tandems on Wisconsin hurled
him aside, despite his efforts to put
them in a pile. His passing, was sure
and he went thru, the game without
bobble in his work.
Smith was in at right guard and was
! busy all of the time. He too shared
in the attention of the Wisconsin for
mation-makers and fought until ex'

Of Kjelland the line gains Of Wlsconl
sin would have been greatly curtailed
Brush took terrific pounding at the
left tackle position and went thru the
game in good shape. He shared with
gaps in Wisconsin s line. On defense he
was like brick under the hat upor
the sidewalk and few gains we're made
over him or by him.. The play demon
