players slipped all over themselves
trying to make Roadway against the
Cardinals.
Both touchdowns. one by Capron Of
Minnesota, the other by Moll Of wis.

blew. Moll made another long run for
what looked like a touchdown, but the
Cardinal quarterback ran about two
feet out Of bounds on the way down
the field and the ball was called back,
When the teams lined up, Wisconsin
had the ball less than a yard from
Minnesota goal line. Minnesota
held like a stone wall on the first
attempt Of the Badgers to shove the
ball over, and lust as the men were
lining up for the second down, the
whistle blew.
Capron's Work Sensational

Wisconsin made its touchdown in
the final quarter. Moll caught a punt
on his SO yard line and eluding every
distance for a touchdown. Some Of
the Minnesota players apparently
made no attempt to catch Moll. and
they claimed after the game that a
whistle, similar to hat of the referee,
sounded just as Moll got started, and
they thought time had been called.
Gillette kicked goal.
Fought Desperately
After this touchdown the Badgers
score. but the Gophers fought back
with equal desperation, and both
teams were continually forced to punt.
The Badgers would start to tear up
the Gopher line, but the latter would
brace and get possession Of the ball.
Minnesota in turn made several first
downs. but the Cardinals always were
strong when 1t came to a test and
neither goal was W in imminent
danger.
Minnesota had the ball just before
the Gophers were given their worst
scare and Cardinal enthusiasm was
at its highest. at the close of the
game. The Wisconsin line had proved
impregnable on the first attempt and
pass formation. Stevens took the bail
and made the pass. but Mol jumped
into the air. caught 1t, and dashed
down the field. near the side lines.
Badger enthusiasm knew no bounds
when he crossed the Gopher line, but
he had been hard pressed by several
Gophers and stepped out of bounds in
avoiding a Minnesota tackler.
MOll Outpuntcd Capron
Moll outpunted Capron by a large
margin, the Badgers work being UNI
usually good and the Gopher's unusu-
ally weak. Wisconsin forwards fol-
lowed the ball much better than did
Minnesota and The Badger backfeld
returned punts much better than their
opponents.
Capron did the most effective work
on offense for Minnesota, but after
his first long run for the touchdown.
the Badgers followed him closely and
If he got away from one, another was
sure to catch him.
Rosenwald and Stevens did most Of
the ball carrying for the Gophers. but
the line plunging of Captain Pickering
was missing.
For Wisconsin the entire backleld
did splendid work, Gillette and Tand-
berg. being the most effective against
tho line.
Little in the way Of trick plays was
attempted by either team and these
usually resulted in no gain or a loss.
The forward pass was used with but
little success. Fumbling was frequent,
but, this is ascribed to the condition Of
