sight was most unusual and formed a
fitting finale to successful season.
With the conclusionFof the song the
players and their admirers gave their
armory followed by. admiring hundreds.
The crowd that watched the last
game Of the season was comparatively
small, but made up in enthusiasm what
it lacked in numbers. It was the thirty
third degree rooterss who had ,braved
the November blasts to see the purple
team meet defeat at the hands Of the
sturdy gophers. Being the initiated
those present followed the play intelli-
gently and applauded the good work
of the individuals with interesting COM
ment. The praises Of each man were
sung or his faults held up and ever
and anon the conversation of the vari
GUS groups would turn upon the bright
prospects for next years team.
Northwestern rooters were scarce,
but the few who were on hand did all
they could to make their heroes realize
that their efforts were appreciated. The
Minnesota contingent knew their
enemies were greatly outnumbered and
in a spirit Of generosity helped them.
Whenever a Northwestern man did any
thing worth applauding the gopher
cohorts helped do the work and the best
of brotherly spirit prevailed thruout.

Had there been contest of bands
instead Of a football game billed at
Northrop field yesterday afternoon the
ticket-buyers. could not have complained
at the number Of musical organizations
or the amount of harmonized sound fur
nlshed them. Three bands Wed with
each other in strenuous efforts to keep
the rooters in the proper frame of mind
and to keep themselves warm if not
famous. F..
The Northwestern band had the best
drum major and this purple and white,
bespangled and bebraided parsonage
Won much applause by the clever man
ipulation Of his baton. r he University
Of Minnesota band was the best drilled
and the enthusiastic Ski-U- Nah rooters
insisted that it furnished the best
music.
The Journal Newsboys' band had
the largest number Of musicians and
the youngsters played both on their in
struments and on the side-lines with
the most enthusiasm. The band parade
Of the three organizations between
halves was the occasion Of general ap-
plause and helped to shorten that wait
ing period. -.
1t anyone needed any assurance that
the Methodists felt certain of defeat
before Kremer and Brush were turned
loose against their line they could have
found more than enough by watching
the demonstration on the field, on the
side lines and in the south stand when
Capt. Bueber made his beautiful "get-
away and sprint for the visitors lone
touchdown.
Minnesota had already scored 42
points and Northwestern was outplayed
and outc9aasea at all points, and yet
that one score was the signal for the
widest display Of enthusiasm. One en-
thilsiast threw his arms around Nc
goInaek and despite the protests Of the
