  GOPHERS STRIKE LIKE AVALANCHE Bury South Dakota Under 81 to @ Score-Record Should Have Been Better. Minnesota won from the South Dakota Agricultural school of Brooklngs, s. D., on Northrop field yesterday after noon. She won by one of those good old double-fgure scores that the Yost methods have made popular in the west, and the “Ski-U-Mah’ rooters, who are always crying for more touchdowns, left the scene Of combat very we’ll sat isfed with the one-sided count of 81 to 0. Minnesota won, not on account OF the form her team showed, but thru the lack Of form showed by her oppo nents Outweighed, outtrained, out generated and outclassed, the farmers failed to offer any effectual resistance to the gopher gridiron artists, and from whistle to whistle it was a ffty-minutes go-as-you-please, with Minnesota doing all the going. If the game was intended for practice, it missed it’s calling, for never did the aggies make it necessary for the gophers to display any real foot ball. But three times. during the two halves was Minnesota held for no gain, and once did the visitors succeed in making q gain in scrimmage, and that once the pigskin was advanced just two yards. Never was the varsity forced to punt, and the majority Of its at tempts resulted in long, staggering plunges thru the South Dakota line, or clean lieut. end runs varying from ten to fifty yards each. Gophers tumble. Minnesota showing was disappointing to gopher followers. Fumbling was all too frequent. Ittner, Cutting, Lar kin, Weisel and other members of the team offended in this line and, had their opponents been strong enough to take advantage of this weakness dis Rster would have been inevitable. In the first half Minnesota s inter ference was practically worthless. 1t was either slow in forming or else got away ahead Of the man with the ball. AS a result, the gopher gains were made by the Individual players who tore thru their opponents resisting line, and the man with the ball, unassisted by his team mates, often dragged two or three of the enemy yards toward the coveted goal. The long gains were al prowess. In the latter part of the game there were some evidences Of ma chine and some Of the runs then were made behind perfect interference. Joe Cutting was easily the sta1 ground-gainer for the gophers. His re, sistless offense was feature of the game. Every time he was given the DILL ue Was ROou 1Or SuDSIduClal Sdlu, and over and over again he got away mer played Captain Currents position at fullback and played it we’ll. He was usually good for long gains and his line plunging could not be stopped Larkin played the first half at quarter and ran the team with good judgment and some speed. He was injured and was replaced in the second period by “Mummy’‘ Weisel, who seemed to get more speed and better team play out of the gophers. His brilliant quarter, back runs resulted in long gains. Linemen Are Strong. In the line the men all played the game, altho their strength was never tested. They always got the charge on their lighter opponents, and the few times the visitors, had the ball, presented an invincible front. Brush car ried the leather time after time. San born also was called upon often ant responded with good gains. lttner when called back, was always there Marshall and Brush, on the ends, als’ did their full share Of the ball-lugging The aggies were plucky and Playe’ as hard at the end as they did in tn they were powerless both on offens and defense. McGillivray, at quarter carried off the honors for the visitors while Tuttle at left end once brok thru and tackled gopher for loss. The defeat administered by the bad gers last week has already borne fruit 5 as shown by the unusual display of SIX and one-sided game. The varsity yell ing brigade was in evidence, with tn old gopher battlecry, and several time new yells we’re tried with good effect. First Half. South Dakota won the toss and chose tn west goal. Kremer kicked off to Youngbere who carried the ball back to South Dakota l6-yard line. South Dakota failed to gai1 McGllivray kicked to South Dakota’s 25-yar line.
