A Minnsaota team is assured of the unwavering support Dot only of students and alumni, but of every Inhabitant of the state who is old enough to yell and of every one born In the state or owing it allegiance in any way. In this firm loyalty there exists a great power for good in college sports if it Is rightly Whatever Minnesota does is right. it is to be commended and cheered.

That Is the Minnesotan's creed and he lives Up to it religiously. It is net the Minnesota rooter's fault if he is not always right. and there's the pity. Such a spirit of loyalty deserves to be guarded from the danger of supporting some of the methods which have been Introduced there. It was not fair to Minnesota's earaity to play Capt.

Strathern on the Gopher team in all this eeason's games up to yesterday knowing, as Coach Williams must have known. that it was only a question of time when he would be challenged. There Is only one excuse possible for that affair. and that Is. the possibility the reports of the 1900 games in which Strathern is credited with playing were erroneous.

But It does not stand to reason that every account of these games was erroneous. The conference rule prohibiting the playing of a man more than four years on a college team is plain enough. end it provides that playing in any part of an letercollegiate game shall be counted the same as if a man played in every game. Then there is the capture of a spy who solicited the courtesies of the Northwestern observatory in order to ply his trade, and who. although denied by Minnesota's officials, bore circumstantial proofs which cast serious reflections on the Gopher reputation.

Reports of less serious nature regarding childish and unsportsmanlike methods at Minnesota have been made frequently by rivals. This cannot be attributed wholly to enmity on all sides toward Minnesota or Dr. Williams. There tnust be some foundation in fact for such unanimity and such things detract seriously from the good name and prestige which Minnesota deserves, and would be warmly accorded On all sides if Minnesota leaders were not Minnesota's worst enemies.

Deprived of the leadership of Its captain at the eleventh instant. Minnesota defeated Northwestern 17 tot) on Marshall field yesterday in a slow, almost featureless game.which was stopped by darkness nearly ten minutes short of the regulation time. So great was the pressure brought to bear on Coach Williams, and so conclusive the circumstantial evidence against Capt. Strathern's eligibility that the Minnesota coach dared not risk besmirching the maroon and. gold colors by playing the veteran center in the game in the face of everything.

Thedecision was a. wise one, although apparently dictated by policy. Stratherre was not necessary to victory. as events proved. and by winning the game without him Dr.

Williams avoided many unpleasant censequences. Northwestern Does Well. Northwestern was defeated but not disgraced. McCornacles men came in for their share of the honors because, In the face of defeat practically admitted beforehand. they fought hard from start to finish.

They started in with a rush which enabled them to play the Gophers to a standstill for half of the first period. Then they were slowly WOrn down by Minnesota's grinding attack and gave way for two touchdowns before the half was over. In the second half they came back and fought even harder than In the first. For a time It looked as if they were going to score. and Minnesota was kept on the defensive for several minutes of the period.

But the maroon and gold defense was impregnable, turning into a veritable stone wall when the goal was threatened. and McCormack's men could not score, although they surrendered the ball twice on the Gopher five yard line. Before the half was over Minnesota. had again battered out a touchdown. but It is doubtful if this could have been done without the aid of a blocked punt which gave the Gophers the ball on North-western's eight yard line just at the time when Northwestern's team bad worn itself out trying to score.

Lacks Spectacular Features. Like every game in which Minnesota predominates, the battle bad little of the spectacular In It and could not rouse the Interest of any but sympathetic spectators. The Gopher play was never fast nor brilliant. It was deliberate and determined. It was slow but sure.

It was varied but monotonous. because so many of the plays were variations of one style, and that style a persittente bruising. smashing of the opposing line. The attack was designed to utilize to best advantage the bulldog strength and tenacity of the men who constituted the eleven. It was bound to be successful against a team so much lighter as was Northwestern's.

Harrison has what is technically termed a line chance. Rare we got to stand for a Jack Carkeek Score Late in First Half. Only ten minutes of play remained in the first half when Yale took the ball at its forty yard line and by gruelling runs doggedly chewed up, inch by inch, the distance to the Harvard goal. Morse and Hogan were the standard ground gainers, Hogan playing behind the line on his famous tackles back attack and hitting the Harvard line for five yards at every clip. It was Hogan, too, who blazed the way for Morse, also just outside tackle, the most reliable of the Yale onslaughts.

With the ball at Harvard's three yard line and the crimson giants in their last ditch, the battle waged the most fiercely, but Morse was torn and Jammed through tackle for the score that broke the ice after twenty-five minutes of sensational, fluctuating runs. Punters' Duel in Second Half. The second half bad begun and was well on the wane lapsing into a punting duel, when Yale, unable for a time to make consistent gains through the stiffening Harvard line, turned the trick for the second touchdown. almost in an eye's twinkling. Sperry from the Harvard twenty-five yard line had fallen back on third down to punt out of danger when Tripp.

the heaviest man in the Yale line, rent aside the Harvard protective formation and leaped into the air, stopping the ball, which struck his chest and bounced back. Bloomer, on the dead run, grabbed up the cavorting oval and tore away for the Harvard goal. Mills was at his heels and hurled himself upon Bloomer five yards from the line. Again Harvard, her back to the wall, fought viciously. but could not stem the tide.

The Yale's tackles back swept over them like an avalache, and on the second scrimmage Flinn was hauled through the posts by Bloomer. Hoyt kicked both goals prettily, rounding up Tale's score to 12. t-- sack Cheebro Is talking about retiring. So is Jake Holtman. Ems, like human ailments.

College foot- Football. ball has one germ which le decidedly dangerous to the sport and to the men who engage in it. That is the tendency to make it as rough and strenunus as the rules will permit.

In the heat of a great desire to win any method which is not forbidden by the rules of the game Is coming to be considered justifiable and sportsmaniike. One reads a lot about preparations by this team or that to offset a rivers strength which exists because of the great brilliancy of some individual player. Much of It is rot. to be sure, but there is always the modicum of truth. In advance of the big games the strength and weaknesses of the rival teams usually are known to each other.

There is wisdom and sportsmanship in laying plans to neutralize known strength and to take fair advantage of known weaknesses. But in doing this there Is the temptation to neutralize an opponent'a strength by destroying It. Star players who are feared, by their opponents are too apt to be made the targets of rough play which is wholly within the rules, yet wholly uncalled for in the mere matter of stopping the advance of the player or the ball. Football is re parlor game, and those who play it well cannot avoid bard knocks, bruises, and injuries. Remove the element of roughness and it would be as little interesting as is the western game of basketball in comparison with the rougher basketball played in the east But in football games between strong rivals there is a disposition to undue roughress in the desire to weaken an opponent by methods which are heavily penalized when tarried to an extreme, yet are just within the law.

This is contrary to the spirit of football, and savors too much of the prize ring, in which the surest way to secure victory is by rendering an opponent helpless. still keeping within the Queensbury limits. And by that it is not meant that slugging forms any part of the method herein censured. It was this disposition to unnecessary roughness that produced a breach between tale and Harvard and severed all their athletic relations for three years in the -last decade. It has produced more than one such treach in the west in more recent years.

The knife should be relentlessly applied to the evil before it produces greater ons. and in that way some of the injuries now received on the gridiron could be avoided. Ems. like human a themselves. Unless they grow and grow until heroic measures are sometimes neces eary to eradicat4 them.

the former winning- by a narrow margin of 5 to 2. Both teams were nervous at the start. and for the first halt much fumbling resulted. but outside of this the game was exceedingly, speedy and only one penalty being given. The defense on both sides was superb.

and at times the game was turned into a punting contest at-which neither could gain much- headway. in spite of the long kicks made. Maddigan started- the fight with a kick to Hyde Park's fifteen: yard line. and after bringing the ball back to the thirty yard line Hyde Park lost it on a White punted out of bounds on the Hyde Park fifteen yard line, and the blue and white returned to Englewood's territory on three and four yard cross bucks. -where Stern.

Fagan circled the Hyde Park left end for thirty yards. which was soon followed by a ten yard run around the same end and a touchdown by White. Fagan failed a goal.

Score, 5 to O. For the remainder of the half the ball was kept In the center of the field and was in possession of Hyde Park when time was called.

Northwestern started an attack which raised high hopes in the east steeds where the purrie rooters were massed. The backs carried the ball past the center of the field in rapid style, but there lost it on downs when the Minnesota defense got ttgether. There was a long period in. which neither team could gain any decided advantage. and both had to resort tc punting.

On practically every exchange Northwestern gained ground until the play was gradually carried into Gopher territory. The purple dad not have the ball near enough to seriously -threaten to score. but near enough to give Reuber a chance to try a place kick for goal from the forty yard line. This was blocked. and the exchange of punts continued.

Finally Minnesota. taking the ball on its own twenty-eight yard line. got together and slowly marched across the field for a touchdown. A fake interference which netted over twenty- yards and landed the bail Inside the purple five yard line was largely responsible for this score. Before the trick was worked Northwestern was holding so well that measuring had to be resorted to several times to decide whose ball it was.

Northwestern Weakens. Followirg this for a few minutes the purple team weakened perceptibly. The fighting spirit was not in evidence. A partially blocked punt gave Minnesota the ball out of fbounde On Northwestern's forty-three yard line. and from there the Gophers scored a second touchdown in chort order.

Then before the half was over Minneeota was waking down the field for a third store. being stopped near the purple teenty yard line by the expiration of time. Brace in the Second Half. Predictions of a big score were freely made between halves, but the Eranetten Men surprised even their friends by the way they raced 1111 the second period. For a good part of it they actually outplayed their opponent.

offensively. but they were just shy of the speed and strength necessary to score. The kickoff itself gave Northwestern a brilliant opening. for a fumble was made when the ball struck the goal post and bounded back. Northwestern getting pcseeselon of it on the ten yard line.

A score seemed certain. but Minnesota's defense was adamant. The purple made four yards In two attempts, 1, then the third failed to gain the necessary one yard to retain the ball. although the margin of failure was so small that it was necessary measure the distance to makel a. decision.

In a few minutes the purple was threaten-4 trig once more. Reuber had carried Harris punt back by a brilliant burdling dash to the Gopher forty yard line. and from there Northwestern drove Minnesota back to its ten yard line with the help of one offside penalty. Again the Gophers braced and' could not be budged. Three attempts failed to reach the five yard line.

although ones more it was necessary to measure the des-tames to give the decision. Score on Mocked Kick. A punting duel followed and Colton was holding Harris even until one of Colton's was blocked by Ittner, who chased it far back toward the purple goal. finally securing it at the ten yard line. He was downed before he could score.

but managed to wriggle two yards nearer to the last line. The third touchdown was scored easily from there. In the gathering darkness the Northwestern lads showed plain signs of distress under the steady, wearing down to which, they had been subjected and were driven back to their fifteen yard line. where a penalty for Minnesota's holding averted all danger of another touchdown. Harris attemptee a drop kick from the thirty-five yard lines but It fell short, and the officials, after a consultation, stopped the game with eight min.

utes left to play. Only Moderate Crowd. The crowd was estimated at 11.000. which was slightly below expectations, although a large one considering the fact the game was played on neutral grounds. The Minnesota men outnumbered Northwestern's by a considerable margin, nearly e.000 of them making the long journey from Minneapolis to watch the game.

They were accompanied by the Minnesota cadet band. to which was readily awarded the honors over any college band in the west. North weertern's rooters. though outhuma bered. were not outdone, for they stuck manfully to their task to the finish and gave their team the full strength of their lunge tneir team the full strength of their lungs NORTH DIVISION IN HARD FIGHT.

Rockford High School Prevents Chicago Champions from Scoring for a Long Time Rockford. Nov. North Division High school football players defeated Rockford High school today In one of the most terrific games ever played here. Sixteen to 0 was the final score, but not until the middle of the second half did North Division batter down Rockford's fine defense and carry the ball over the goal line for the first score: The lightning work, of North Division's backs and the better condition of the Chicago players turned the tables in their favor, for had Rockford stood the gaff for the entire two halves neither side would have scored. The game, especially the first half, was filled with spectacular playing.

and twice did Rockford hold the Chicago boys within a few yards of the coveted goal. securing the ball and carrying it out of the dangerous territory. Brilliant playing was done by- Capt.

played a great game, and came in for his share of applause. Rockford won the toss and took the north goal. with favoring wind. For the first few moments the ball seesawed up and down the field. Finally Chicago.

by a series of sharp. quick mass plays, carried the ball to Rockford's five yard line. where the North Division lads were held for downs. The ball was slowly forced up the field out of Rockford's territory. In the center, of the field North Division secured the ball and punted over Rockford's goal line and the ball was returned.

Again this was done, and again the ball was returned. With the half rapidly passing North Division forced the ball slowly down the field to Rockford's one and a half yard line, where Chicago was again for downs. In a grueling few moments of play Rockford carried the ball, inch by Inch. back up the field. overcoming Chicago's defense with terrine line plays.

-In the center of the field Rockford lost the ball on downs, and a North Division player, getting it on an offside play. crossed the Rockford goal line for what was thought' to be a touchdown. The' referee would not allow it, however. claiming the ball was not in play. The ball was brought back and the half ended.

In the second half the fierce play told on Rockfcrd. and the local players were in bad shape. They no longer presented a solid front to North Division, and the Chicago boys by mass plays gained every time. With hardly an interruption North Division carried the ball down the field for the first touchdown, and twice thereafter the ball was carried over the goal, North Division making Its last touchdown in the last three minutes of play. Only one goal was kicked.
