Minnesota defeated Wisconsin on North rop Held yesterday afternoon by score of 6 to o. In doing SO she proved her team. 1t was by far the hardest contest the local men have had to fight this season, and was won entirely en- its merits. Minnesota played with vim, dash and spirit that has seldom been equaled and never excelled in Western football. Superior training and nerve won the game, for both teams were about equal so far as science is concerned. One cannot say too much in praise of the work DIR. Williams and his eieven have accomplished this season. Yesterdays game was universally &C knOwledged the most important one of the series, and the result was viewed with trepidation by the friends of the university. There was no necessity for any fear. That could be seen almost as soon as the play commenced. From the very start the home men Outplayed the visitors, showing superior Judgment and much better training. The celebrated end plays of Wisconsin We’re several times, but were invariably fore stalled by the rapid work of the Mime sofa men. Although much of the sec ond half was played in home territory, when they had the ball than did WiSconsin. The visitors scored through a fun HE on the part of Dobie, while the home team carried the ball over the line by a series of fierce rushes. GREAT CROWD AT THE GAME. Fully 5000 persons witnessed the struggle for what is practically the cham p.onship of the Northwest Every avail cupied, standing room being at pre- MUM. The fence, the roofs of nearby houses, trees and telegraph poles were used as points of vantage by those who could not get inside the grounds The grandstand was nlled, or course, one and being occupied by the sympa thizars OF Wisconsin and the balance by Mime sofa enthusiasts. The ‘rooters’‘ were gathered in large numbers on the bleach crs, and it is only due to them to say that they did their share towards help ing the team to victory. In the boxes were President Nor throp, who beamed all over after the toucndown had been made; .ex-Gov. Pillsbury. and many other prominent citizens. 1t Is safe to say that the majority of those present were fully as much interested in the contest between the undergraduates yesterday as they will be in the out come of the election of q president of the United States next tuesday When Minnesota held her opponents for downs on her own three yard line the audi dren alike cheering themselves hoarse. The day was a perfect one for good ball, little wind being astir, and a cloud less blue sky overhead. The rains of the early part of the week had made the field in excellent shape the white yard lines standing out well on the soft earth and none of the diSagreeable aust of the previous weeks being in evidence Wisconsin came on the field at 2:31, amid the cheers of their constituents The Minnesota contingent “sized” the men up for few moments, the general feeling being that the team was heavier than was expected. A few seconds later the Minnesota boys ran down the grid iron and put in few moments passing the ball to and fro. The bands from the two universities struck up, the crowd howled it’s approval and pandemonium reigned.
