FAST WORK IN SECOND HALF

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Nov. 21-(spe-
cial Telegram.)-Outplayed, but not out
gained, Minnesota's Haunting maroon and
gold was humbled this afternoon before
the furious attacks of the Michigan team.
The score was 10 to 6 and Minnesota was
fairly and ~squarely beaten. The first
half ended 6 to 6 and a repetition of the
famous game of 1903 was looked for, when
more the half of the last period of play
had expired without a score, but suddenly
one of Minnesota's forward passes was
intercepted by a Wolverine player. He
had a clear field in front and dashed the
intervening thirty yards over the goal
line before Minnesota could recover from
its surprise. A little later Captain
Allerdice Of Michigan booted a field goal
and that put the figures to 10 to 6, at
which the game ended.
The Gophers fought their hardest for
another score. but without avail. In hope
that freshmen might be able to accom-
pllsh the trick, DR.. Williams sent Erdahl,
Ostrand and Atkinson into the lineup. The
latter took McGovern's place at quarter
back, and when the game little field gen.
eral, who had played nearly the entire
game, walked to the side lines he was
given one of the most enthusiastic and
yet respectful demonstrations that any
Minnesota player ever received.
McGOvern In Lineup.
When the teams ran on the field at the
beginning Of the game and It was seen
that McGovern was in the Gopher lineup,
Minnesota stock took a jump upward. But
the captain was bandaged and harnessed
on account Of his lame shoulder, and it
was impossible for him to play the game
that had been expected of him. Seldom
did McGovern get the ball, and only once
did he receive the oval on formation. His
injury prevented him from playing back
for punts on defense, and Rosenwald and
Pickering handled the kicks which Aller-
dice sent flying down the field at inter
walls.
There were but few who believed that
Michigan could win and when the Wolver-
ines scored first in the opening period and
Allerdice booted the goal, there were many
Gophers with sore hearts. Minnesota got
the score back later. A trick play and
forward pass, with Walker receiving the
ball, enabled the big left tackle to plunge
over for the Minnesota score.
Farnum kicked goal and things were
even. The Gophers were expected to come
strong in the second half, but their show
ing in the last period of play was not
nearly so powerful as that OF Michigan.
It is estimated hat the attendance was
22,OCO.
Drop Kick Missed.
After ten minutes of play an exchange
of punts CAV Minnesota the ball on Mich
igan's thirty-five-yard line. A criss-cross
to Stevens and line plunges by Rosenwald
and Pickering took the ball to Mlchigan's
eight-yard line. McGovern missed a drop
kick on the fifteen-yard line and it was
Michigan's ball. Then began a straight
march for the Minnesota goal. Minnesota,
securing the ball on its own fifty-yard
line, rushed it by line plunges and for
ward pass to Mlchigan's Vineyard line,
where Walker went over for a touchdown.
In the second half Minnesota could do
nothing with Miehigan's powerful line and
the two Wolverine ends were rarely able
to stop the Gopher attack on the outposts.
on the other hand Michigan tore big
holes in the Minnesota line and kept the
ball in Gopher territory most of the time.
Michigan's touchdown in the second hall
came when Magidsohn intercepted Mccoy.
ern's forward pass on Minnesota's thirty
five-yard line and ran without Interior
cnce for a touchdown, Allerdice kicking
goal. Allerdice added three more points
when he kicked a goal from placement
after Pattengtll had made a fair catch or
Minnesota's forty-yard line.
