By Charles Johnson. Minnesota's war-time football team, playing as an S. A. T. C.

unit, yesterday mopped up the Overland Aviation mechanics eleven at Northrop Field in the first real game of the season. The Gophers won in conclusive style by a score of 30 to 0, five touchdowns being made. Every try at goal was missed. The Gophers' offensive and defensive strength was a surprise. With Dr.

Williams keeping very silent about his lineup before the game, Gopher fans were wondering if the veteran coach had" something up his sleeve. He did and the team showed it. The Lineup: if I if n'fa 1 fr't CV' vvl 'A -u'f4 ''HWr WS fi Playing straight football almost entirely, the Hamline university eleven yesterday defeated Coach Johnson Macalester team at Hhaw field by ft score of 31 to 0. The Methodists mad ull of tlu'r scores through straight lin 4 plunges and a few end runs. There was no play at all and both teams were content with ramming the line.

Long runs came often by both sides. Fumbles at the critical moments cost Macalester several chances to score. I Their defense was not of the best sort land Daird's back got away to many long gains. 1 This contest was the first between I the small colleges of the state. Hecaus of the bad weather conditions, only 1,000 students turned nut for the game.

Hamline scores Early. The Hamline tesm gut an early start and after the first touchdown it was ft steady march up and down the field. Macalester several times carried the ball the length of the field only to loss it on fumbles or bad passes. The first touchdown was the result of a series of brilliant line attacks. After Hamline scored, the Macs carried th ball down the field to their opponents' 10-yard line, but the Methodist defense stiffened and Macalester lost the ball on downs.

Again, the Mais carried the ball up the field on line aided by ft 35-yard run by Wilkinson. An attempt ed drop kick was fumbled and liamlinn recovered. Long end runs by Anderson and Hanson, mixed in with some line plunging, accounted for the second score. At the start of the third period. Macalester held Hamline for downs one foot from goal.

Scores Come Past. The Metbrdist back made thre ton. Viowns in the last period. Following the recovery of a fumble on -their own 10-yard line, Cloon of Hamline, in two tries, gained 50 yards through the line. Hums then slid around end f-T the third score.

The fourth touchdown for th win ners was the result of a pass. Hanson to Gaiury, who carried the ball over the line. The last two scores were the result of heavy line plunging by the Metho-list backs.

L)e spite a wet and sloppy field, the game was fast throughout and replete witd brilliant days. Lusclier and Tung brought the crowds to their feet several times by eicep- tional plays and the two did much of -the counting for the winning aggrega tion.

A backfield composed of Captain Kingsley, once lost to the team, but restored again, Harry Minor, an old Carleton star, who had only three days' practice and Jack Culligan, a veteran Thomas player of years gone by, vas the Williams surprise for Lieutenant Hallady's aviation team. drizzle during most of the game made open play practically impossible, and both teams hit the line in their effort to gain ground. One of the few passes Minnesota tried was good for a touchdown. This score, coming a few minutes after the start, put enough fight into the team that there was no topping them thereafter. The Aviation's strong backfield, with Such men as Fred Chicken and Bennett as the stars, could not do a thing with the adamant defense that Dr.

Williams' line put up. Time and again Chicken was thrown for a loss or stopped dead without a gain. Bennett was injured in the first quarter and had to quit. Eoos Plays Star Game. One of the features of the Minnesota line was the way it broke through and stopped the soldiers' backfield before it started.

Leading tho defense was big 320-pound "Babe" Roos. The work of this big fellow was a revelation. He stopped two men every time he move, and tore tho Overland line to pieces. Doyle, Enke and Ekberg were also in oil almost every play. The backfield lived up to its reputation for line plunging.

Lampi zig-flrcrpil time and airain for cains of from five to 25 yards. Kingsley, Minor rj and Culligan never failed to make first down when called upon and did admirable work all through the game. The backfield, although not trying any open play to speak of, showed up well enough to give Gopher students hope for another real football aggregation. Kickoff Is Bad. Tho first quarter opened with Kings-ley making a poor kickoff of less than 10" yards.

After failing to hit tho line with any success, Anderson, of the Aviation team, attempted to kick. He fumbled and lost the ball. Klein-chmidt tecovered on Overland 's 20-yard line. Lampi made thvee yards through the line, but lost four more on the next plav. After Minor and Kings-ley had fought their way to first down, Kingsley shot a short pass over the line to Lampi who scored the erst touchdown.

Lampi missed goal and the core stood 6 to 0. The rest of the first quarter saw both teams fighting in the center of the field with neither side having an advantage. The period ended with Minnesota in possession of the ball on her own 33-yard line. At the start of the second period, Lampi tore off 10 yards and Culligan tame back with eight. Minnesota was penalized 15 yardsfor holding, but the fiopher backs made this up on straight line bucks by Kingsley, Minor and Culligan.

The goal the was missed again and at the end of lalf Minnesota held the ball on the her wn 40-yard line. No Scoring In Third Period. There was no scoring in the third quarter.

Anderson kicked off to Kings-ley who was downed on his 2S-yard line. After a 15-yard penalty, Lnmpi kicked to tho center of the field. Roos topped three plays in a row, including a terrible line buck by Chicken. The aviator? were forced to kick again, J.nmji returning (he ball 13 yards from his own 20-vard line.

If next Friday high school games are forced to be called oft and the public is not admitted to the Minnesota-St. Thomas tilt at Northrop Field, it will mean a big monetary loss to the schools and may al-so mean a deficib in the athletic treasuries of the schools, both big and small.

More Than Quarter of Million Is Netted by Golf Matches Red Cross Gets $303,775 From Western Association as Receipts of Benefit Play. Chicago, Oct.

19. Exhibition matches in aid of the Red Cross, under the auspices of the Western Golf association, have netted $303,775 this season. Clubs in the Chicago district contributed approximately two-sevenths of the total. 1 A number of matches were staged in eastern territory, but in the main the clubs in that section did not respond as generously as those in the middle west, although some of them may have contributed to patriotic courses through other channels. On his last trip east, Chick Evans and those who appeared with him played to IS, 000.

President Charles F. Thompson, of the Western Golf association, who supervised all the exhibitions, today said that up to date 82 games had been played rnd that the expense had been coiuined to a nimiini nmouiit. The match nt l.aVe Shore Countrv club, which netted 100, coit the He'd Cro fund only 2.5j for railroad fare. Chick Evans has played in 4S matches. Bob Jones, of Atlanta, in 29, Warren K.

Gopher Captain Who Is Eligible Again Normsu Kingsley, Th Ji Mr cannot be held up much longer and if that the games will be played behind The University of Minnesota today is out several thousand dollars because the public was not admitted to yesterday's game. Another spettator-les3 game would be a financial blow that would take Minnesota seme time to recover from. There are few home games this season and there is no question but yesterday's game at Northrop Field would have drawn many thousands more spectators had the gates been open. The closing order has hit sports of all kinds. Bowling schedules have been disrupted and another off -week for pin men will probably mean a revision of the season schedules or a lengthening of the season.

Athletic officials, who have conferred with health authoiities in regard to the length of the present ban, report that there is no sign of a let-up. It all depends upon "flu" situation. There will be no pames of any description in the Park leagues today. All games have been ordered off until further notice. Have Football Team Dunwoody Holds St.

Thomas to a Scoreless Tie Soldiers. With One Week of Practice, More Thar. Hold Cadets Even. The Ihihwoody Training Detachment, with only one week's practice, yesterday held the St. Thomas Cadets to a scoreless tie at the Midway ficid.

The drizzling raia made the ball wet and slippery, causing many fumbles. on both sides. Paper, quarterback for the St. Thomas eleven, led the team from that position, biing elected en; tain shortly before the fame started. He played a splendid game, breaking through for many long gains.

The first half of the game was slow nnd tiresome, lacking the usual football thrills. It was a see saw affair in the first two periods with neither team having an advantage. In the third quarter, thp soldiers began a march down the field and reached St. Thomas' 30-ynrd line before they were stopped. HI.

Thomas held for downs and kicked out of danger, spoiling the soldier's chance for a touchdown. At this point, both teams began to play an open taic but with little success. In the last few minutes of play, tho sobiiers played their best game and came near putting over a score. A pass, Brown to iJierenfield netted the soldiers H.j yards, bringing the ball to the Cadet's 10-yard line. Then Dunwoody plunged through for six more yards, bringing the bail to the four-yard line.

8t. Thomas then intercepted a Dunwoody pass and immediately kicked out of danger. The lineup: Tlionifls- piinwvlr IlFwhT nihil JWfioiil fiiii-niun PiPl-iMiH- 111 KiTtimn WnlfT Zlniitiprnmn Ti'p. If fr in1 if tiui.rit CIlHtlt tinkle cntl nnnrtcr hiilf rk-ht Imlf I v-r 'M'tlrv. II.

Downtown Net Courts Plan of Local Players Men Behind New Move Hope to Acquire Property Near City Hospital. Min: eapolis is going to have a downtown tennis club, only a few blocks from the center of the city, next year, if a move which was started yesterday by prominent local tennis men develops. The men behind the move are well known players at the Minneapolis Tennis club who are anxious to locate nearer the center of the city. The property which is under advisement is located across from the City hospital at Sixth street and Seventh avenue south.

There is a spacious lot at this corner which is owned by the City hospital and which was bought for the purpose of building an addition to the present site. The ground, it is said, will bo available for some time and tennis men are planning on putting a large number of courts on the space. The plan of the new tennis club is to sell stock at $100 a share and with the bondholders being made charter members of the club. It is understood that many of tho present members of the Minneapolis club have declared their intention of joining the new organization. The present location of the local club at Bryn Mawr is not satisfactory to many of tho members because of its dir.tance from the loop.

It is with the idea of getting closer to tho downtown district tiiiit tho new club is lieing planndd. Ho definite steps have yet been taken to acquire the City hospital property, but it is undcrstoo'd they will be in a few days. Golf May Be Part of V. S. Soldiers1 Training Routine Chicago, Oct.

19. St. Mary's college will not have a football team this fall. The Spanish influenza epi demie, which hit the Catholic school cently, put a crimp into athletics, anl although thp eollege is free from dij eae now, it was deemcil best not to put a team on the gridiron.

Mnndoza wes the first of many clever Jews who have adopted fighting as a profession. His first important bout was in when he defeated the giant scrappef called "Harry the Coal Heaver." Aft er defeating tho "Butcher" he tonic- na Richard Humphries in three losing oue and winning two. Hid last, victory over Humphries was decisive, and when Ben Brain, the undefeated champion, died in 1794 Mendoza was acclaimed as his successor. He held tho title only a year when he was de fented by John Jackson. The Hebrew won by cleverness and science rather, thnn brute strength, but in Jackson ha met a man as clever as himself and much, stronger.
