  Harding brought it way over on Wis., consin’s side of the line. when Pillsbury took the ball and made touchdown. from which a goal was kicked. AS before, our boys stopped the ball when near their line, brought it back and nearly added another to their credit, when time was called. Score, 10 toe. Minnesota opened with Y, similar to WiSconsin’s. but as Pillsbury fell down, the gain was not much. However, they retrieved this error by good. quick work, which ended in touchdown by Hard ing. The ball was punted out and goal kicked, but as one of the Badger boys jumped and touched the ball belore 1t went over the crOsS-bar. it did not count. Again Wisconsin’s trick V; again they lose the ball; again Harding makes a touchdown, and, as before, no goal. The visitors. though playing hard, soon lose the ball, which is carried nearly 10 their goal. Pilly now takes it, and for the second time. by brilliant dash, crosses the line, Cutler brings the score up to “a. The same old story and Harding AAnhSo A4AO AOQl lL NO goal. Wisconsin is playing with logged determination to score or die. They have the ball on Minnesota’s side when they are obliged to punt. The ball rolls behind the US goal, and the referee decides that it shall be brought out to the twenty-five yard line. The boys shove Wisconsin back down tile field and soon help A. 7. Larson over the line, and for the seventh time touchdown is made and goal is kicked “a to 0. As last attempt to score, Richards, Wisconsin’s full back, tries for goal from the field, but our men break through the line and stop the ball. There is now but few minutes left, just enough to add four more points, which Bisbee does. Pillsbury kicks a goal. Total score, 40 to 0. On the whole, the play of our boys has been better than ever before. Hard ing played not only brilliant, but steady game. Adams did much better than was expected of him, and enough is said when we say that Pillsbury played as well as of yore. The missing of so many goals is more than excusable when one considers how hard it is to kick wet bail from muddy ground.
