Madison. Wis, Nov. "a team that
found itself tells the story of Satur.S
days wonderful victory of Minneso-
ia over the badgers. Starting he
game as second choice in the minda
of all Wisconsin rooters and with many
OF h Minnesota rooters in doubt. the
gophers found their feet and gave a
humiliattng defeat to their old-time
rivals.
The defeat was clear cut and with
out a huke to give any particular
amount Of solace to the defeated team
and its supports. incidentally, the
game developed that Minnesota has,
in Shaughnessy, the greatest strategic
and defensive kicker since the days of
Sig Harris. His booting contributed
heavily to the victory Of Minnesota
and not one of his punts was blocked.
Mattern and Scion Shine.
Joe Mattern came into his own as
one of the best Of a long list of great
Minnesota halves, and Lorin Scion
ances and fought his way into Ale
Minnesota hail Of fame. After Russell
TollefSon had BEEN taken out on ac-
count of injury, Ben Lawler went in as
quarterback and starred in the posi-
ton in sterling style. He not orSlys
tore off good gains on his own &C
count, but ran the Minnesota machine
with speed and precision. Lawler
seems to possess that faculty Of lift
ing" the team and they responded to
his call in wonderful style.
Minnesota emerged from it's chrys-
ais Saturday. Before the game the
most ardent rooters were prepared In
mind to die game and, since the bad
work against North Dakota. could
hardly bring themselves to hope to
see a victory. The machine had not
been in evidence in any of the earlH
games of the Minnesota schedule.
Saturday the machine was presented
and 1t. struck hard, fast and with re-
suit. 1t gained in power and certain
~ as the game progressed and at the
finish 1t was complete master of the
field with the badgers in ignominious
rout,
Chicago Won With Ease.
Chicago, Nov. 3.-Superior speed,
power and experience won the Univer-
sity of Chicago football team a % to
Z victory over Illinois at Marshall
field. The pupils of Alonzo Stagg
~furthered their championship aspira-
tons with a. brilliant exhibition Of
varied gridiron tactics against a team
that crumpled after a brave showing in
the early stages.
1t was another ase of an over-rated
visitor at the Maroon stronghold. IL
l1nois was outclassed, SO far as the
whole battle was concerned, but it
threw a panic into the Chicago band by
finishing the first half with a score of
z to 0. A sensational touchdown by
Quarterback Pogue of Illinois, after
less than two minutes of play, was all
Coach Zuppke's men had to offer.
Michigan Found Itself.
Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 3.-Micbigan
played against Syracuse as it has not
played this year, and the score of 4S
to z hardly expresses the way in
which the fasteners were swept off
their feet by the wonderful offense
which Yost had built up during the
last week. From the first kick off to
the last whistle Syracuse was out
played in every department.
Jimmy Craig celebrated his return by
playing n of the most brilliant games
of his career. During the first half he
scored fou of the five t~ouchdowns.
Eight minutes after the game started
Jimmie tore through the line for the
first touchdown. Hughitt duplicated
the stunt four minutes later.
Big Upset at Vale.
New Haven, Conn. Nov. 3,-The
football sensation Of the year was
sprungSaturday when Colgate smother
ed the Yale eleven with a 16 to 6 score.
The little upstate college battered the
Eli line, forced the play almost through
out, and outplayed their big university
rivals at every point. Twice they scor-
ed touchdowns on the Yale goal de-
Tenders and once they lifted a field goal
from placement.
Yale scored only n touchdown and
at no time controlled the situation.
The game made new American football
history, for Yale has never befors
bowed the knee to a. minor college.
Only Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and
Brown of the big eastern universities
have defeated the Blue, and it was left
for Colgate to slbrnerge the univer-
sity that has won more football cham
Ep%ionships than all others combined.
Princeton Receivers.
Princeton, Nov. 3.~-f'rinceton,s re-
generated football combination, the re-
suit of Dartmouth's victory over the
Tigers a week ago, trimmed Holy Cross
Saturday by a score of 81 to o. HOLY
Cross never threatened seriously "a
score, while Princeton's game was one
grand progress march down the field.
NOtre Dame Beat Array.
West Point, M. II, Nov. 3.--In one Of
the most spectacular games ever
fought out at West Point, Notre Dame
defeated the Army by the score of as
to 10. Though the first half the game
was see-sawed, with neither having an
advantage, but toward the end the
weight of the Westernersato told and they
had HI soldiers well beaten when the
whistle brought the contest to a close.
Harvard Played strong.
