venture nothing, except that his
men were in good condition.
Chief Coach Warner, Of the Car
Isle team, said of the game:
We are not forecasting the result
of the battle. The men are in good
condition and we anticipate nothing
which would keep us from going
into the game with our full strength.
Further than that we wouldn't care
to be quoted"
While no one would concede that
Minnesota had chance to win the
game, there were many supporters
of the eleven who were willing to
bet that the team would score, and
several substantial wagers were
recorded on that proposition.
The gates of Northrup field were
thrown open at 1880, and the
reserved seats and main stands were
rapidly filled.
The gridiron was in fair condition,
although the slight snow of last
night had caused the ground to be
somewhat slippery.
The two teams lined up at, 2
O'Clock.
Tue play had not been started
long, when, Capron, the famous left
halfback of the Minnesota eleven,
dropped beautiful goal from the
field.
The goal was surprise not alone
to the big crowd, but also to the
members of the Carlisle team. There
was tremendous cheering, and the
crowd in the stands and bleachers
and the outheld arose as one man
and yelled.
When the teams lined up, after
Capron kicked the goal for Mime
sofa, the Indians began to pound
the line of the Minnesota players
with telling effect.
Large gains were made on straight
football, interspersed with a few for
ward passes and other trick plays.
Two touchdowns were scored by
Carlisle before the half ended, and
goal was kicked after each touch
down.
The half ended with Carlisle play
ing the stronger game, but Mime
sofa resisting and making some great
stands.
Score: Carlisle IL, Minnesota 4.
The second half of the game was
productive of the greatest struggle
ever seen on Northrup field.
The Indians were held time and
again, and the Minnesota eleven
simply held their, own with the
famous warriors from the east.
The redskins tried every trick
which thew knew, but were kept
from scoring.
Towards the end of the game,
when the ball was dangerously close
to the Minnesota goal, the crowd
was set simply crazy by wonder
full play of Schuchnecht, the big
right halfback of the Minnesota
team, who had been acting as cap
tain, and who had more than held
his own with his opponent on the
Indian eleven.
Carlisle had pushed the ball to
Minnesota's fve-yard line, when a
too-eager Indian fumbled the ball.
Quick as flash, big Schuchnecht
grabbed the ball and started down
the field.
There was a great scramble on
the part of the heet-footed Indians,
but Schuchnecht, aided by some
splendid interference, eluded the
whole redskin team.
The big Minnesota captain ran
without falter, the entire length Of
the field, and amidst deafening
cheers planted the ball squarely
behind the Carlisle goal.
When the cheering and playing
of the band had subsidized, the crowd
fairly held it's breath waiting for the
goal to be kicked.
The ball was sent sailing squarely
between the posts for a goal-and
Minnesota was but two points
behind in the score against the
shlftiest and fastest playing team
in the East.
For the balance of the game,
Minnesota held we'll, and the game
