  GOPHERS SCALPED BY THE RED MEN IN BIG INTER-SECTIONAL CONTEST Greatest Crowd in the History Of Minnesota Football Sees the Ma 1 room and Gold Humbled by Carlisle. Io”u oA1y Wy IHe SiISuI4y LSnCer C1nCS of their crimson and yellow ribbons and the darker color of their faces, the Indian rooters followed the fortunes of their team with intense interest and supreme satisfaction. Too few in mum. bers to give the Carlisle yell in any volume they contented themselves with the piercing. EsIyow-yow when their favorites gained. But the Carlisle graduates were not the only ones who came down to see the game. LaRoque, Archie Libby and Little Boy are all Minnesota In dams, and their prowess is the pride of the entire Chippewa nation. Gus and Theodore Beaulieu, government en- Bostilrian, Allan F. and Dan Morri. son, Joe Perrault, George Morrison and Alex McDougal, clerk on the White Earth reservation, Edward Perrault, chief of the reservation police, and Sam Sloan, sergeant of police were all there. A Real ogema Sees Game. Chief Anidusogwon, who can remem. Der when the redman s battles with the whites were waged with deadly weap. ons and fraught with far more danger than the friendly strife of the gridiron, was one Of the notables present. He lett the field Immediately after the game, but those who sat with him saw that he was pleased to see his race win one more battle from the whites on their ancient domain. -. Also included in the aboriginal contlngent were Edward Rogers, former captain of the Carlisle and the Mime sofa teams; Edward Warren, star at Carlisle and Minnesota; John Carl, a former university player, j. E. John SON., famous as a Carlisle and North western university quarterback; Eugene Warren, Charles Gardner. John burnett, Charles Warren, from the White Earth reservation, and Miss Louise Rogers, sister Of the famous Ed. IN addition to the White Earth delegation there were thirty former RESIDENTS OF the reservation who were In Minneapolis to receive their annuity Major Mercer, superintendent Of the Carlisle school. Boxes Were All Filled. Every box was filed with it’s party OF society folk, whose smart garments were hidden under robes and tarpaulins from their automobiles Automobile seat cushions also formed part Of the campaign against the cold. . President Northrop occupied a box at the center of the field and STAYED until the end Of the game, despite the In the last half the crowd became unmanageable and broke thru the wire fence surrounding the field. Repeated charges by the ushers and the police detail failed to drive them back to their places and the last five minutes OF the game were. played with a wall OF spectators craning their necks over the side lines. At the finish the seat cushions began to ty and at one time merry war Was carried on with Jumps of snow hurled back and forth between the side lines and the bleachers. Long before the game was ended many of the less interested of the crowd yielded the field to the cold and made. their way homeward They were in some respects the wise ones for. “hen the game was over there was a repetition of the jam at the gates and many people had to wait an hour before securing a place in car. While chagrin and disappointment relgned supreme in the breasts Of the wearers of the maroon and gold they were game losers. A few “muckers, - 1t is true, did their usual stunt of hid ing their. colors and posing as hackers or the winning team, but the majority were as loyal to Minnesota in defeat as in victory: On every hand were heard words OF praise for the Carlisle team.

Minneapolis, Nov. 20. - Minnesota Saturday suffered the most disastrous defeat of her modern football history, when the Carlisle Indians, evincins superiority in practically every DEpartment of the game, ran away from the Gopher eleven before a crowd OF $4,000 enthusiasts at Northrop field, and won almost as they pleased BY score of II to 0. With the exception of a few isolated moments of play at different times during the contest, Carlisle outplayed Minnesota on both the offense and defense, and the Gophers were forced to accept this most humiliating defeat with the admission that Eastern foot ball is faster and stronger than that played In the West. Minnesota’s inferiority was made more pronounced because Of continued errors by different members q The Gopher eleven.
