The triumph was coincident with New York's 5 to 1 defeat at the hands of the Brooklyn Dodgers and put the Card3 a full game ahead, in a spot where they can't lose the flag without going through the first play-off series in major league history. Buried in third place less than a month ago, the Cards gained their third straight triumph over Cincinnati and their twenty-first in 28 games since they deserted that position.

Bierman's extremely powerful and superbly coached team asserted itself early in the second period, and before half time they had pushed over four touchdowns. The Gophers recorded two more touchdowns and annexed two more points via the safety route in the third period, and then with a team comprised chiefly of third stringers, pushed over two more touchdowns In the fourth quarter. Minnesota was deprived of a third, touchdown in the final period when George Roscoe, after returning a kickoff 90 yards to North Dakota's 5-yard line, saw his brilliant effort nullified because a teammate was guilty of holding.

A cancelled game, if the weather forces it, will be just as good. The only way the Giants have a chance to win the flag Is to capture Sunday's game while St, Louis loses.
