Part Three: Part Three. NO. 245. PURPLE DEFEATED BY HEAVY GOPHERS lTorthwestern Plays Poor Football and Loses, 16 to o. BOTH ELEVENS SLOW Muddy Field Necessitates Use of Close Formations.

Lark of Open Field Work Make Con. teat Drag for Spectators Evan- ton Tram Oatclaaaed. The football teams of Minnesota end Northwestern took mud baths on Marshall field yesterday, and the giant Gophers Incidentally Boused the purple under by a score of 16 to 0. The contest was lone and tiresome, and when the referee's whistle blew for the last time darkness had hidden the players from distinct Tlew of the spectators. The threatening weather kept away the crowd, and the result of the game dampened the ardor of a large majority of the spectators, Minnesota being but feebly represented among the rooters.

Marshall field was covered with a thick layer of shavings, but even this did not afford good footing for the players. The condition of the field greatly handiscFped the purple representatives, and made the tandem play lower than aver. From this It can be gleaned that North western's offense was weak. On the other hand, Minnesota's giants were perfectly at borne in the uncertain going, and played havoc when on the offense. The defensive playing of both teams was good, especially the.

gritty tenacity of the outclassed purple. Hollister's men took the ball away from the Gophers twice within their five-yard line, and many times further down the field, when they were apparently hopelessly routed. Play Lacks Variety. There was little variety to the contest in Vie matter of formations. The Gophers employed their shifting tacttcs, and to their credit be It said they worked them yesterday In business-like way, quite contrary to theft showing at Madison a week before.

The Gophers showed even more speed than their lighter opponents, and the individuals played with fire and vim. The presence of Harris, tlretutmtcute quurtor back. In place of Doble in the first half, did much to do with the Improvement, and there was no loafing while he played. The treat of the game was the. great open field tackling of the" Minnesotans.

The Indian Roger. Fee, and numerous other heavy-weights from (he North made lightning -tackles "on- several occasions," which made the Chicago 'fdofbairco-irtlagen in the grandstand look green with envy. The purple was powerless to return the kicks of Know ton, owicg to the fast work of his team-mates in getting down the field. Baird was too hurried In his kicking to do his best, tbe Gophers breaking through regularly and finally blocking a kick near the erd of the sameaid scoring a touchdown as the result. Tandem Ia Powerless.

North-western's great combination for end running, Johnson and Elliott, could do noth-lrg against the Minnesota ends. The tan-deny was too sJow and was smashed to BmiThereens before it got clear of the line. Captain Diets was off in his game aDd bis nsea gave him little or no assistance when the play was directed, at the line. More ground was gained by the purple on individual effort tban by team work. Only once did Hollister's men show signs of scoring.

Just before the end of the game Johnton got away on a delayed pass, and In the gathering darkness ran forty yards, Doble downing him thirty-five yards from the goal line. Minnesota missed three touchdowns, after carrying the. ball nearly to the purple goal line, Bidlake, Fee, Knowl-ton, and Boeckman doiing most of the-ground gaining. Harris, to, was clever In carrying back punts. One of the features of' the game was the strictness with which the roles were administered' by the Clarke and Rhinehart.

Their work was as good as has been" seen In Chicago this year, their decisions being fair and Just, and no violation of tbe rules escaped their watchful eyes. DETAILS OF THE GAME. Mlnneaota'a Offense Kept Parple Uarailas Tkroashoat Game. Minnesota won the Usa and chose the north goal. Twenty minutes behind the schedule time for the commencement of the.

Minnesota was then compelled to give up the ball on downs, but Northwestern could not gain, and. Baird was forced to punt, the ball going to Harris, who was tackled by Elliot at the seven-yard mark. Another exchange of punts was followed by a thirty-eight-yard run around the purple right end by O'Brien, who had succeeded Bidlake at right half. After two more downs time was called, the ball being in Minnesota's possession on the Northwestern thirty-yard line. The Second Half.

Knowlton kicked off to Fleager, who fumbled the ball, but picked it up again and was finally downed on the purple fifteen-yard line. Dittz got five yards through right tackle, but the tandem was useless against tbe Gopher line, and Baird was forced to punt. On on exchange of punts which immediately followed Baird kicked into the bunch of pfayers. and a Minnesota player sprawled on it at the purple twenty-three-yard line. Half a dozen plays brought the ball to Northwestern's ten-yard line, where the Gophers lost it for holding.

Diets hit the line for seven, yards, but hre the purple team paid the penalty for holding, and the ball went back to the Gophers. Three more plays left the Gophers but three yards from the purple goal, which distance Lafans made. Knowlton kicked goal.

La-fans, Hoyt, and O'Brien rushed the ball steadily back toward the purple goal, making most of the gains off the Northwestern tackles, and soon had the pigskin on thi Northwestern twenty-flve-yard line. Small gains and an oif-side by Northwestern helped the Gcphers advance the call to their op ponents' eight-yard line. Hlock BUaatrooi to Purple.

Half the remaining distance the Gophers gained by an other ctl-slde by Northwestern. Then the Gcphers made three yards through the line, but could' budge tbe purple team no farther, and gave up the ball on downs. After two vain attempts to gain, Baird dropped back for a punt, which was blocked, the ball going to Minnesota on the purple flveyard line. On the second down Schacht was sent over for a touchdown, and Knowlton failed in the subsequent try for goal. Immediately after the kick-off by Baird Lafans got around the purple right end for forty Then the purple braced again, and Knowlton punted' out of bounds at the Northwestern thirty-flve-yard line.

Time of Halves minutes. Official Comment on Game. Coach Hollister The blocking of punts, which was largely responsible for the two touchdowns In the second half, should have been prevented. I had inteaded to use a larger variety of formations, without depending upon the tandem, but yielded to the wishes of the members of the team, who felt more at home with the old formation. My men put up a game fight, but I am confident they are capable of better things.

The wet condition of the field also gave the Gophers an advantage over us. Captain Dietz of Northwestern I believe that, with the positions filled as they were In the Michigan game, the story would have been different. We were simply up against superior weight on a wet field. We were not greatly disappointed, for we did not enter the game with much confidence of success; Unless the Gophers Improve greatly, the Illlnl will defeat them. Minnesota's play was not up to championship form by any means.

Coach Williams We should have scored several more touchdowns. The men played better football today than They did against Wisconsin. Captain Knowlton Northwestern was outplayed, that tells the tale. We should have doubled the score. Umpire Clark Northwestern was Insufferably slow.

The tandem failed to reach the line In time to take advantage of Its opportunities on several occasions. There was little pushing behind it, and more yards might have been earned with a little more effort: Minnesota was slow, but ber heavy men did the work; The indlvlual playing on both than tbe team work.

Thus Michigan made the two prise scores of the season, having beaten Buffalo university early In the year by 128 to 0. Fifteen touchdowns and. fourteen goals were Michigan's record today, and Beloit didn't get near enough to Michigan's cross bars to see what they looked like. The Michigan supporters can now look with complacency upon tbe dope sheet. Wisconsin Beloit early In the season by 40 to 6, and when Merrill was not in the game.

Michigan more than doubled this showing today, with tbe husky Beloit guard. and Defense, and In TTfTs illllkfe14 --'7- -s KIDNER. (Half back.) who is half the team. In the game. On top of this.

Jack Hollister. the coach for Beloit, says that he has no doubt that Michigan would defeat Wisconsin. "Wisconsin depends upon end runs," said Hollister. "but I do not think they could get around Redden and Hernsteln. Of course Michigan would have more trouble bucking Wisconsin's line than they did with us.

but I think Michigan would win handily on a wet field like we bad today. On a dry field it would be closer, but Michigan would win." Michigan great game today is best illustrated by the fact that not once was she held for downs, and was obliged to resort to a quarter-back kick only twice, while all punting that was done was from choice and not from necessity. On the other hand, Beloit did not make ber necessary five yards except In one instance, and then. Merrill broke around Michigan left end for fifteen yards on a fake kick. Michigan put up a great Interference and team work in general.

The soggy ground did not seem to handicap Michigan at all. The wisdom of Yost In putting Hernsteln at half and Sweelcy at end on offense was demonstrated. "Herney" made specatcular runs of 60, 65, and 40 yards for touchdowns, but Graver and wesley did the star acts. Tbe former caught the kick-off at his 23-yard line and ran 85 yards for a touchdown, through the field, of Beloit players, wbo were bowled over like tin soldiers by Interferera. Almost Immediately after Sweeley showed his heels to the whole Beloit bunch by a run of 80 yards for a touchdown.

Captain White blocked one at the center of the and catching It totr'the' bound ran -45 yards before Merrill could otertak half Yoat commenced playin; and had six of them in the game before it closed.

Harvard made three' touchdowns, from which two goals were kicked, and a magnificent goal from the forty-yard lino was kicked by Quarter Back Harvard played beautiful football all the way. The attack and defense, were so strong, that the Tale "varsity the same team that vanquished Princeton at New Haven by a score of 12 to laat Saturday, wasrmado to look like a scrub eleven at times. Harvard had the weight with which to nut power Into her attack, and also showed remarkable speed and endurance. Though the hardest kind of football was played, not a Harvard maa was compelled to leave th field, whereas five substitutes were in the Yale line-up at tbe finish. Never before at an Intercollegiate con- test or this kind has there.

been so larga a crowd. Fully 27.000 persens bad seats around the gridiron, and the demonstration, rr.aJe. by them was one never to be forgotten. Yale' had a big delegation of ftl roweng ha and they were so sure of victory thathay offered 10 to 7 on the result-. 'These'.

odds were accepted so readily that seme over-1 enthusiastic New Havenltes may be'-'eoroi pelled to walk home. Harvard played lightning football In the first half and roiled np seventeen poiats. In the second half Yale in the face of overwhelming odds, and gave such an exhibition of. sand that the, wearers of the blue were cheered agaia and again, even by the Harvard colony. --9tarv ag )artrsainlsrsr Among Yale men tonight here "is a yarn to the effect that the team' was overtrained, that Trainer Mike Murphy's-advice was ignored by the coaches, and that Murphy feels anything but pleased.

It Is said that Murphy wanted tn- ha ve the Yale men rest most of he-week after the victory oyer Princeton, but thai the ccacbee insisted en working the men hard. and. consequently, with the that most of were unfit tft de thecfr selves Justice. Whether thla is true or Tj'oC. the fact remains that Harvard so'ch an invincible game that few can believe "tiraf Yale would have had a chance 4d win under the most favorable cirennostanoeev'.

The game was rather rough at there were no apparent cases of intentional (lugging. But there was one accident that came near resulting fatally. 'In the second -half the Yale quarter backv John DeSauUee, was knocked In a collision with Marshall ot Hai vard, and' ater being allowed, to remain cn the aide llaea for fully fifteen minutes he was carried away unconscious on a. stretcher. When he' reached the locker building outside the grounds De Saulles revived, but a doctor gave htm an opiate and said that it was best for.

Burr Chamberlain, xine the Yale coaches, assured The, later Ocean representative tonight that De Saullef was alt light-and would be himself Captain Gould of Yale was alw quite severely shaken up. and at one time Captain Campbell of Harvard was so groggy that he could not fee, but he did not leave the game. ttm Plays Despite Pretest. Up to within two hours of the game it waa not decided whether Cu Us, Harvard's big' right tackle, would be allowed to play.

The Yale management requested the Harvard au- thorltles to Investigate the charges of professionalism lodged against Cults, and it waa not until positive assurarbes were received that Cutta never received compensation for acting, as a "physical-culture instructor that he was pronounced eligible by tbe Har- Vard athletic committee. The withdrawal of Glass by Yale and the Cutts case have served to strain the relations between the two anl-versltles, but no open breach is likely. Yale was weak in the kicking department, but that was partially due to the strong northwest wind against which the blues had to play in the first part. Harvard made many amine throuch tbe tackles.
