Madison, Wis, Nov. s.-In game

to 4. The heavy hawkeye team proved
a foe worthy for Wisconsin 3 steel, and
if it's line had proven strong enough to
stand up under the unmerciful pound
ing it received, the story might have
been different.
The sturdy Iowans opened the game
with rush, and for short time showed
the badgers around like toys. Almost
the clever little Iowa quarterback,
dropped a goal from the field. Altho
he tried again and again to repeat the
trick, he failed every time.
The attack Of Wisconsin was excel
lent during most Of the game, but owing
to the fact that Iowa could take an un-
usual amount of pounding, it was not
particularly effective until the second
half. The badgers backs were good,
Clark, Miller and Curtain especially
distinguishing themselves.
Iowa kicked off, Zeisler getting the
ball and returning it to the badgers

After working the ball down to
Iowa's 30-yard line, Wisconsin was
held for downs. Iowa punted and Cum
ningham made brilliant run in return
ing it., but the ball was brought back
and given to Iowa, Wisconsin being
penalized for off-side playing. A few
minutes later Washburn carried the ball
to Wisconsin g 15-yard line on for
ward pass. Then Kent dropped goal
from the field. . -. -. -.

Wisconsin opened the second half,
Clark kicking to Kirk, who returned the

Iowa made 20-yard gain on double
pass. Kent again tried to drop a goal
from the field, but failed. Wisconsin
kicked to the center Of the field and
held Iowa. for downs. Curtin then re-
placed Zeisler at right halfback. By
smashing plays thru center and over
tackles, Wisconsin worked the ball
steadily down to Iowa g 3-yard line,
the ball being carried by Curtin, Clark
and Miller. Miller was showed over

kicked goal.

Less than minute after the ball was

Vulnerable Points.
This year outside Of tackle and
around the ends are the most vulner-
able points. BY placing the halfbacks
back and little outside Of tackle, the
halfback can support the end and
tackle very quickly. He should go in
with the end quite sharply, leaving the
fullback to watch out ! for, forward
passes and short &onside kicks. 49,.
For instance, suppose play started
toward the right side Of our defense,
the right end, who is playing from
three to five yards out, goes forward
into the opposing territory for two or
three steps and then rapidly toward the

Il III Use of Arms.
An exceedingly important thing to
remembet, and SO often forgotten on
defense, is that all the defending side
can use their arms to throw aside anv-
one on the opposing side in order to get
at the ball. For instance. if q NAV
comes at the right halfback it would
be. a splendid thing for him to hurl

would become entangled in the inter-

would be useless.
Alertness.

players watching the opposing team as
they line up. If they do not watch the
opposing team as they line ND
that opposition team may walk
into their positions in the forma-
ton OF a wing shift and start off a
play before the defense can shift to
meet the shifted attack.
The coach should prepare his team
for every possible shift of the attack.
and there should be someone on the
team, the captain probably, to warn
the men Of the time to watch for shifts.
This is one OF the reasons why coaches
have to. study the attacks Of the Or
posing teams. For instance, if anv
team was going to play the Indians.
and the coaches ne elected to teach
them what to do in case of shifts. the
players would be at sad loss to know
what to do when the redskins began to
work their well-known shift plays.

tearing things up in general this shifty
player dropped a pretty kick from the
thirty-five yard line, making the first
score Of the day.
Coach Drill has strong aggregation
and every man seems to be in the game
at all times. The team is well drilled
and played little faster than the
Mortified bunch. After Carleton had
made their four points on drop kick
the team seemed to take new life and
it was less than two minutes after the
kickoff when Ellery was pushed over
for the first and only touchdown.
For Carleton, Captain Mccarthy
was the star, his field generalship be-
ing great, and his all-around playing
fast. Altho only in the play a short

which netted all the way from fifteen
to thirty yards. Orr at right end
made some long, gains, one of his

were strong on defense. For Hamline,
Ellery and Drew were the best ground
gamers, altho Packard and Meecham
pulled off some brilliant runs. Nc.

Before the regular game the fresh
men teams from each college met in
hard battle. The elevens were of about
the same weight and the game was al
most as interesting as the main event.
The first half ended with the score 6
to 6 and the Hamlines did not win out
until the last FIVE minutes of play,
when the quarterback made a pretty
place kick, the ball going true.
Game Begins.
The two big teams lined up for play
at 3:45, and Orr of Carleton kicked off.

J. turned it ten. On two plays Hamline
failed to gain and Packard punted
thirty yards to Crane, who missed the
ball, Meecham falling on it. The
HamlInes marched straight down the
feld by line smashes and end runs, and
8it looked like touchdown, but the
Carleton team took a sudden brace

locals.

Carleton tried a drop kick, but the
ball fell short. Time was called as the
goal was missed.
In the second half Packard kicked
off to Mccarthy on Carleton's 15-yard
line, and the latter was downed in his
tracks. Carleton seemed a trife
stronger in this half and first down
was made twice before the Hamlines
could recover. orr went nine yards
around end and Pennie, Sergeant and
Carthy, the quarterback, went around
left end for brilliant run Of thirty
yards and Hamline secured the ball on
a side kick by Pennie.
For i've minutes punts were ex-
changed, neither team being able to
make first down. At this time. Drew
was substituted for Manuel on tho
Hamline team, and Bill went in for
Sergeant for the visitors. These two
men seemed to bring new life into
their respective teams, and some great
runs followed.
Bill Kicks Goal.
After holding Hamline for downs in
the center Of the field, Carleton IS
quarterback began working forward
passes and between Bill and Pennie
the ball was brought to the 35-yard
line, where Bill was called upon for a
place kick. The quarterback received
a perfect pass from the center and
with a cool head placed the ball for
Bill and the latter made one Of the
prettlest kicks ever seen on Norton
field, the ball going squarely between
the poles and barely above the bar.

Packard kicked off for Hamline, and
the ball went forty yards to Crane,
who returned it ten. Crane tried run
around right end, but Drew nailed him
before he got started. Bill was then
called upon and by some clever dodg-
ing made five yards. On the next play
Carleton failed to gain, and the bail
went to Hamline on their own 45-yard
line. Ellery made three yard gain
on play off left tackle, and Packard
ard made q short kick, the bali going

again and Crane Of Carleton fumbled

With the ball on Carletonts TO-

grew determined and after Drew had
advanced the oval to the 4-yard line,
Ellery went thru right tackle for the
remaining yards and touchdown.
Drew missed goal and the score was
5 to 4 in Hamline's favor.
There were but ten minutes left to

neither letting up, and time was called
