Minneapolis Eleven Picked the Holes
and Won, 20 70 IA

Ragged work in the line and
shampoo" tackling were the most
important factors in Abilene's IL to
20 defeat ut the hands Of the Min
neapolis high school eleven at the
fair grounds yesterday afternoon
The Minneapolis backs found great
holes in Abilene's line, and shot
through for gains OF five, six and
ten yards. throwing the local eleven
on the defensive from the middle
OF the first quarter until the game
ended. At times Dresser's men
braced, but as often the line gave
way, both on offense and defense.
II was a hard fight for the Abilene
backfIeld men and ends and but for
their good work Minneapolis would
have scored oftener. Both OF Abb
lene's touchdowns came In the first
quarter and for both Taylor skirted
the ends. Walters kicked both goals.
The visitors relied almost entire
ly upon line jabs through the CEN
ter or off tackle, scatterins oppon-
ents or running under arms stretch
ed high TO grab stray ears. The
floating center style OF game didn't
help the Dresser team any. occa-
sionally when the Abilene wings had
been drawn in, Minneapolis Tipped
a forward pass for q good gain, and
once or twice used antiquated dou-
bic passes for neat distances. Abb
lene used little open play. and u
the Dresser eleven had some forward
pass formations on ice, the crowd
didn't know about IT.; presumably
the line would not hold for their
use. Little was sick and Roop was
sent to left half.
The local backfield played well.
Brfney's work was encouraging and
Walters did his best to stave off de-
feat. Taylor did some good playing
and Sampson at end gave the best
exhibition Of tackling Of the day.
Minneapolis played better football
all the way round.
All of which is by way OF saying
that the local lads have some hard
work ahead of them, and perhaps
the bitter dose yesterday will help
fill up the weak spots, and drive
away all chestiness. The squad has
class, and 1t is safe to say that Coach
Dresser will have no trouble now in
convincing them Of the need of hit
ting their men low and quit stand
ing up in the line. The lineup:
