MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. November A.
Outweighed, outgeneraled and outplayed

University of Chicago foot ball team was
defeated by the Minnesota team today.
30 to o. The size of the score, as well
as the class shown by Minnesota was a
surprise to it's most enthusiastic sup

Minnesota made four touchdowns, Stew

over once and Rosenwald scoring TWICE
Smith dropped two field goals and Nor.
rell put over play kick, Morrell kicked
goal after one of the touchdowns, but
missed the other three.
Chicago could do nothing against the
Minnesota line, and the latter's ends more
than held their own. Minnesota for
wards frequently broke through and stop
ped Chicago plays as soon as they got
started.
The Minnesota backfeld was used al.
most entirely in carrying the ball. Ros
enwald was the particular star. His
dashing, slashing style Of play, nearly
always good for substantial gains, fur
nished a spectacular feature.
In the last period Chicago worked the
forward pass successfully few times
but Rosenwald twice intercepted the bal

GEORGETOWN PROBABLY HAS
BEST ELEVEN IN THE SOUTH
Nelson Has Turned Out One of the Greatest
Teams This Section Has Ever Known.
Will Be Even Better Against Virginia.

Indians. Day in and day out they play
the same kind of game. There are few
elevens, If any, in the country which can
be rated as being as sure to play true
to form as Carlisle. Game after game
the team representing that school shows
the same kind of form and the same
steady style of play without an upset.
The team was expected to score VIC
tory over Pennsylvania, and it did so by
just about the margin that one would
have expected, judging by the form
shown in the previous contests played by
the two elevens.
Whether 1t Is due to Warmers genius
in directing the play of the eleven or
whether 1t is the stole nature Of the In
dian which causes it, it is certain that
there is no eleven in the country which
may be depended on to play up to the
form expected Of 1t as much SO as can
that representing the Carlisle Indians
School.

contest in such creditable manner and
with such credit to himself will undOubt-
eddy earn him the right to start the
game with Virginia. Sitterding, while not
a SNOWY player, has always done good
work for the Blue and Gray. 1t has been
noticed that while he was directing the
play of the team this year it seemed to
gain ground with greater facility than
when one of the other quarters was at
the helm, and, after all. that is what is
needed in quarter-abi.ity TO direct the
play so that his team can score the great
est number of touchdowns. In yesterdays
game ne carried the Georgetown eleven
TO the Army's 9-yard line. something that
has been done but seldom this year.
