Marshall's Famous Kick.
Then Minnesota, with the pigskin on
Chicago's thirty nine- yard line, resolved
to have a stab at the goal. Marshall
dropped back, Larkin poised the ball
for him and the players foot sent the
ball true between the posts.
s 1t was a great shot, the ball wandered
slowly toward its mark, while the root
ers of both sides held their breath and
then dropped over the crossbars
Minnesota IS aggregation went crazy,
and four points were hung up on the
scoreboard for the old gold and maroon.
Chicago came back hard and fierce
on the attack and seemed about to show
the Minnesotans that it is dangerous to
monkey with the buzz-saw. The ma
rooms looked like winners for about five
minutes, but could not hold the pace,
and Larkin punted out Of danger.
The half closed just after Chicago,
gained tenyards in close play. The ball
was on Minnesota s thirty yard line
and the maroons ready to go at 'em
again, when the timer rushed in to pry
the two bands of gentlemen gladiators
apart. ... .:...:e: ..
During the halves, the Three Guar
ters club of the University of Chi
cago, INDUCED in it's annual foolishness,
giving travesty on football in white
duck trousers. The freshmen were as
sisted by real live goose. r..

sixty pieces strong, marched around the
field playing a war song, in which the
xooters joined. -.- .s~ r.. ~
Chicago started in the second half
with relapse of form. The men seemed
slow. Minnesota soon moved up close
enough to try for another field goal, but
The ball fell short and was carried back
twenty yards by Eckersall. Then came
another long period of punting~ and
advantage. -..>' .'.~':
A Free Gift to Chicago.
At last Eckersall, WIG had not been
kicking the wet bot -ss = r as is his
habit, lifted a putt troia the middle
historic northeast corner. It rolled over
the line and Larkin picked it up.
He stepped back over the line and
touched the ball down apparently think
ing it touchdown. It was safety
and gave the maroons their two points.
But after that nothing doing. Same
old punting and rolling in the slime.
The men were steaming like cattle and
the rooters were wet to the skin.
Time was called after twelve more
minutes of play with the ball In Chi
cago 8 possession at%the middle OF the

/ New Rules Opened Up Game.
The new rules made possible game
of unusual spectacular interest to the
z. CCOWu. OuueI Guc CUuC,
beef would have gained repeated first
downs, as five yards seemed rather easy
for them at times. But the ten-yard
gain necessary to retain possession Of
the ball was a little too much for the
gopher team, and in consequence the
game was opened up, to the everlasting
delight Of the spectators. "
With both sides forced to kick once
In three plays, Eckersall and Larkin,
In MIR fp,,v T.
ing duel. Eckersall did not average
much more in the length Of his kicks,
but received his opponents E'spirals'
IN better fashion and ran the ball back
far better.
And at that ssEckie'' was a marked
man for every gopher. e, The Chicago
captain went to the bottom of every
heap with the whole gopher team Oh his
frame.
Minnesota combined unexpected
speed with its immense driving power,
Marshall was as great a factor on Of
tense as he was in getting down the
field under punts. The powerful colored
man often swept away the whole left
wing Of Chicago,s. line and almost in
yaTtablY tore great gaps in the line for
his halfbacks.
Marshall's Headwork Good.
Marshall diagnosed Chicago's plays
with rare judgment. His cleverest play
ing was downing ,Eckersau FOR a loss
almost on the Chicago goal line, when
SEckie' tried to get around the right
end on fake kick.
Chicago 3 backfeld failed to deliver
II the dazzling style which maroon
rotters have come to expect. Steffen
was practically dead weight. He, could
not get started, for any Of his famous
spfints down the field. Running from
the right half position he was unable
to make any Roadway whatever. He
ran high and with no speed. -
In great contrast was the driving,
whitening assault of the gopher stars,
Ittner, Doane and Schuknecht. They
Battered Chicago's forwards for good
gains in the second half, not consist
emily enough to march down the field
For a touchdown, but yet often enough
GOOD STUFF"
