A COLLEGE LOSES

State College journeyed up to
Minneapolis last Thursday night and
on Saturday met the big football team
of the University Of Minnesota and
got most beautifully walloped. 1t was
the first game of the season for both
teams and they were both doing high
pressure work outs, with the result
that no doubt both of them discovered
the weak points and the holes. The
Gophers played a lot of old-fashioned
football. Only one forward pass was
attempted by them and that was sue
cessful. State was unable to pierce
the Gopher line and made but one
first down, while the game was married
by frequent fumblings and penalties
for both sides.
Arntson, LAMP and Bierman are re-
ported as the star performers for the
University, and Kennard, Hoover and
Burdett are given credit for doing the
best work for the home team. Ken
nard's playing called for some individ-
ual praise on the part of more than
n Twin City paper. They said he
was the only one who was dangerous
to the Minnesota line.
The lineup was as follows:
