At, '4V 44, O'Brien, behind the wing shift," made a run of forty yards, carrying the hall from Minnesota's 411-yard line to Northwestern's 30-yard line.

It was the first break in a long period of monotony, but did not produce any results, for the time expired before another scrimmage. It had required seventy-five min, utes for thirty-tive minutes of actual play. Regular Backs Are Put In. Strengthened by its regular backs. the Gophers made longer and more consistent gains in the second half.

Knowlton kicked off to Fleager, who fumbled at the 5-yard line, but recovered the ball and carried it back ten yards. The tandem broke through left tackle for a first down and Davidson gained two. A delayed pass lost three yards and Baird punted to Minnesota's 50-yard line. Two attacks yielded nothing for Minnesota, and Knowlton punted to the purple's 23-yard line. Hollister's pupils were likewise unable to advance, and Baird dropped back to punt.

His effort was low and did not clear the line, Minnesota getting the ball on the 22-yard line. A mass play added a couple of yards and Hoyt three more. A series of short bucks carried the oval to the 5-yard line, where Indian Rogers went over the line, but was called back and the ball given to Northwestern for holding in the Gopher line. Dietz bucked for seven yards instead of letting Baird punt out of danger, and short gains took the ball to the 16-yard line, where Northwestern lost it for holding. Fee stopped six yards nearer the goal line.

Thorpe added three, two more bucks took it to the 3-yard line. where La Fans was pushed over for the second touchdown of the game. KnoWiton punted out to Dobie, but missed Score, 11 to 0. of Crimson's Smashing Offense. 1 1 I.

ALLOWED TO 'PIA would be putting it It was any kind of odds before he entered the ring that he would put up a game fight and that Jeff would have to beat him to a pulp before he would cry enough. Those who saw or have been told of the beating Gus took from McCoy, of the twenty round slugging match he Indulged in with Peter. Maher: a fight that was a. flight from the time the first blow was delivered to the final gong; a fight In which both men were knocked down repeatedly and were several times on the verge of feat; a fight that was talked of for weeks as being the hardest and most punishing ever witnessed between big fellows; those that saw Ruhlin in the fight with Bob Fitzsimmons, in which he received a stomach blow in the second round that doubled him like a jack knife; a blow that would have made any fighter take the canvas for the count; those that saw Gus take that punch and later in the fight saw him knocked down repeatedly 'with body and face hits; saw him struggle' to his feet only to be toppled over again; saw him led out of the ring a bruised and battered piece of humanity and, to outward appearances.

the worst beaten up man that ever lost a battleI say those who saw Ruhlin in these fistic controversies would have bet all kinds of money at any old odds that Gus would be carried out of the ring, blind, bleeding, and battered beyond recognition before acknowledging defeat. That is what I expected and I am sure so did thousands of others. What brought about this change in. Gus? A year and a half ago he showed himself to be one of the gamest, if not the gamest heavyweight, In. the ring.

Now, what was the direct cause of this? Certainly not lack of condition or confidence. He claimed he was never in better fettle. When he met Fitzsimmons he had put in a busy year at fighting, which necoeeitated considerable training and sapped some of his vitality. A long and much needed rest, two months' training at one of the healthiest spots in this country, and with no worries or cares brought him in condition fit to fight for his With his excellent and perfect condition naturally came confidence a combination hard to beat when dove-tailed -with strength, hitting powers, and science.

However, Gus did not take advantage of what appeared to be excellent openings, but instead made play for the champion's body, and apparently experienced no difficulty in reaching the spot. There is only one reason, to my way of thinking, why Gus did not try for Jeff's face with his right, and that is, he would have found it extremely diflicult to avoid a left or right hand counter. right lead for the head would necessarily bring him forward In an erect, or, partly erect, position, thereby leaving an opening for a counter hit, while In hitting at the body he could duck in to avoid a return hit. A man may not escape being hit at that, but with his head down he would not see the blow coming, and there is surely some consolation in that. would be putting it It was any kind of odds before he entered the ring that he would put up a game fight and that Jeff would ave to beat him to a pp before wbeeounid ul bf dtocirioefnothuegh.

Beginning with the Tom Hyer-" Yankee" Sullivan battle under London prize ring rules, the first of real importance for the heavyweight championship of America, which took place on Feb. 7, 1849, at Black Rock, Kent County, and ending with the Jeffries-Ruhlin fight. I cannot call to mind a contest for the much coveted heavyweight title in whicita winner was declared.

With the exception of the Fitzsimmons-Matier and the Corbett-Mitchell fights, that did not exceed tive rounds. We have haft several battles for the heavy honors in which a winner was proclaimed within fifteen minutes' actual lighting time, the time expended In the late tight. but they were under the old bare knuckle rules. Still the rounds in all of those listic arguments extended to more than live, with the exceptions of the tiret battle between Jem Mace and Joe Coburn and that between Ned O'Llaldwin and Joe Wormald, both of which were stoppee, by the authorities. The Ryer-Sullivan battle went sixteen rounds and was timed in seventeen minutes and eighteen seconds.

This gives us a trifle over eight minutes' actual fighting time, as under the old rules the round ended when one of the contestants went down and the time Limit between rounds was but thirty seeonds, as against one minute under Queensberry rules. The championship battle between Johnny Dwyer and Jimmy Elliot, under the old rules, ended In twelve rounds, time, twelve Minutes, or in about six minutes' lighting, and that between John L. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan, which stirred up the fighting world at the time, was over with, bar the shouting and the collecting of wagers, in nine rounds. Actual fighting tune, about six minutes.

The Shortest of these contests was that between Fitz and Maher; time, one minute and thirty-five seconds; and the longest was that between Jeffries and Sharkey, which went the limit of twenty-five rounds.

with two full halves to play. There was no wind and Northwestern took the kickoff from the south goal. Baird kicked off to Harris close to his goal, but the little quarter ran back to his 37-yard line before he was downed. Minnesota's first rush netted three yards, then Northwestern lost ten for offside play. Northwestern held for two downs.

but on the next Knowlton slipped around right end for seventeen yards. Three straight, bucks gave the Gophers five yards, but the purple line held hard and the ball went to Northwestern on downs at its 25-yard line. Captain Dietz at cnce put the tandem into commission, and with himself at the head made two yards. The second attempt failed and Baird punted to Harris, who was downed near NorthNvestern's 50- yard line. Minnesota failed to make its distance in three attempts, and the purple regained the ball.

Penalty Nullifies Long Bun. Suddenly Johnson darted out from the Gophers' right end and cleared thirty-five yards before he was stopped, but the purple had been offside, and the ball was taken back and a penalty of ten yards inflicted. The ball was snapped back another ten yards and downed in order to retain possession of it, but for what purpose was not apparent. On the first down Baird punted and he could have done that without losing the other ten yards. It was Minnesota's ball on its 50- yard line, and Knowlton at once punted back, gaining ten yards in the exchange: starting from the 15-yard line the tandem failed to gain twice, and Baird punted to Harris at the purple 54)-yard line.

Though the hardest kind of compelled football was played substitutes were in the Yale lineup at the finish. Never before In an intercollegiate contest of this kind has there been so large a crowd.

About 37,000 persons had seats around the four sides of the gridiron and the demonstration made by them will never be forgotten. Every Harvard man carried a crimson flag, so when the first touchdown was made it was estimated 25,000 Harvard banners were waving on high. Yale had a big delegation of followers en hand, and they were so sure of victory they offered 10 to 'T on the result. These odds were accepted readily. Harvard played lightning football In the first half and rolled up seventeen points.

In the second half Yale braced in the face of overwhelming odds gave such art exhibition the wearers of the blue were cheered again and again. even by the Bare yard colony. Rumor Murphy Was Overruled. Among Yale men tonight there is a yarn to the effect the team was overtrained. that Trainer Mike Murphy's advice was ignored by the coaches.

and that Murphy feels anything but It is said Murphy wanted to have the Yale men rest most of the week after the victory over Princeton but the coaches insisted on working the men hard and constantly. with the result that most ef them were unfit to do themselves justice. Whether this is true or not, the fact remains that Harvard played such an invincible game few can believe that Yale would have had a chance to win under the most favorable circumstances. The game was rough in spots, though there were no apparent cases of intentional slugging. But there was one accident that came near resulting fatally.

In the- second half the Yale quarter back, Charley be Saulles. was knocked senseless because of a collision with Marshall of Harvard; and. after being allowed to remain on the side lines for fully fifteen minutes, was carried away unconscious On a stretcher. When he reached the locker building, outside the grounds. Do Saulles revived.

but a doctor gave him an opiate and said it was best for the boy to sleep it out. Burr Chamberlain, one of the Yale coaches, said tonight that De Saulles was all, right. and would be himself by tomorrow. Captain Gould of Yale was also quite severely shaken up, and at one time Captain Campbell of Harvard was so groggy that he could not see, but he did not leave the game. Harvard Stands by Cutts.

1p to within two hours of the game it was not decided whether Cutts. Harvard's big right tackle, would be allowed to play.

Harvard played lightning football in MORE HARD LUCK FOR STAGG. Jennison, the Substitute Half Back, Suffers a Broken LegOut of the Game Until next Season. Minnesota Giants Score Touchdown in First Half with Substitute Backs and Add Two More in Second Period- Failure to Punt on First Down with Goal Threatened Largely Responst ble for Losers' DiscomfiturePenalty' and a Blocked Kick Are Minnesota defeated Northwestern 16 to 0 at Marshall Field yesterday afternoon in a long drawn out, tedious game, which began late and was not completed until long after It was too dark to distinguish either plays or players. Northwestern's poor generalship was responsible for the size of the score. as two of the Gophers' touchdowns were almost entirely due to the purple's failure to punt the ball out of danger when its goal was threatened.

In- this way a magnificent defense was nullified to a considerable extent, for the team from Evanston put up a sturdy light throughout the game and held the Gopher giants mass plays well. But in two lustancea, after a plucky fight had gained them' the ball almost at their last line, poor headwork sent the tandem crashing into the Gophers for short gains. Once a penalty gave the Minnesotans the ball within easy distance. and the purple defense, already worn -down, was unequal to the task' of again stopping the heavy plays. Purple Takes Foolish Risk.

The last touchdown was due to still greater foolhardiness when a grand rally had stopped Minnesota with only one yard to spare. 'Again the tandem was tried recklessly and fruitlessly, and after two failures Baird was forced the punt was blocked, and Minnesota got the -ball- with four yards to make for a. touchdown. Even if a-purple player had fallen on the ball it would have been lost on downs. No amount of sturdy pluck was able to prevent a touchdown then.

and it was a just penalty for the foolish risk taken by the purple captain. It was a poor game from a spectator's standpoint because of its monotony. Both teams used mass plays almost exclusively, and the greater number were directed at the line or just off tackles. Northwestern played the tandem from start tqg finish, but Minnesota. varied its attack witii an occasional end run for good distances and for some of the best gains the Gophers used a play closely resembling the famous wing shift of the Carlisle Indians, In which half of the line shifts to the other end just before the snapback, thereby getting practically the whole team into the Interference and brushing off the oppoSing end and tackle by sheer force of numbers.

A guard was dropped back oecasionally, and the ends were sometimes called upon to carry the ball. These were the only variations, unless some were sprung after dark. -Both Teams Slow in Attack. Both teams were remarkably slow in their attack. using up the greater amount of time in starting its plays.

Add to this the constant delays due to Injuries, which are always frequent where mass plays are used so Much, and It Is easy to see how the game 'was dragged out interminably. The defense of both teams was better than the offense, but Minnesota's was not given any crucial test. as Northwestern did not have the ball near enough to its opponent's grali to become dangerous at any time. Dr. Williams sent in a substitute back field In the first half with Bidlake and Beckman at halves and Harris at quarter.
