first game Of the season to Gustavus
Adolphus college here yesterday, by
score of 10 to 0. The local team
had them out weighted and out
classed.
The first touch down came within
three minutes after the game start
ed. Gustavus succeeded in reaching
the Pillsbury ten yard line by a SER,
les OF line plunges, and Hegstron:
broke through for touchdown. The
second touchdown, the most sensa-
tional Of the game, came near the
end Of the first quarter when Han
son, Gustavus stellar left half, made a
run around left end and carried the
ball seventy yards to the ,Pillsbury
goal. Shortly after the second quar-
ter opened. Bornemann plunged
through the line for the third and fl
nal touchdown.
Hegstrom, Hanson, C.. Anderson,
Bornemann and Baker played the
strongest game for the locals, while
Webb, Short, Clothier and Klima
starred for Pillsbury.
Gustavus should have won by a
wide margin, but played a very slow
game. Coach Harvey Besseler is
trying to develop some speed in his
heavies this week for the game with
Carleton which takes place here next
Saturday. A game has been schedul-
ed with st. Olaf at Mortified on Oc-

year that the college has had a COM
petent coach, and what with some
excellent material and plenty Of hard
work, they are showing up in excel
lent shape.
