That sums up the success story of the .Minnesota football team. author of Saturday's 13-0 upset of top-ranked Michigan State. "We play a methodical type of game which is not very interest int lo the spectator," says Gopher Coach Murray Warmath. "We concentrate on trying to take Ihe mistakes out of football and then let our opponents beat themselves by making a mistake or two." Rival coaches, aghast over the Michigan Slate defeat, agree that Minnesota's game is some times methodical and unimagina tive. Some add the word lucky, too. They admit their mistakes, point to some Gopher errors and cite injuries as factors. But scl- dome do they say it was hecause Minnesota has a better team. An expert watching Minnesota for the first time Saturday com pared the Gophers with boxer Tiger Jones, saying. It doesn t look like he is winning until you start counting up the points in the sixth round." We like to kick on third down, kick off instead of receive and stick to a running attack as much as possible, mainly to place the pressure on tne otner team, Warmath explained. "We figure if the opposition has the ball deep its own territory it is more likely to make a harmful error. "We play the percentages a great deal and sometimes shock the fans with our conservatism, but it is all for a definite pur- Ipose. You might say wo play a defensive ball game."
