Michigan defeated Minnesota to day on For rrold, SJ'to tt ana' eartjad the nndla Xoetbail championship before a crowd of 10,000 cheering enthusiasts. It took 70 minutes of furious play to finish the game. At times both teams were brilliant; at times the game on both sides was ragged, but it never ceased to bo desperate. The superiority of tho Wolverines over the OonherB Is not aueBtloned to night. In the first halt they carried' the ball 205 yards, compared with 85 yaris to tho credit of Minnesota.

In the second half the Mlchlganders made 180 yards against 165 yards for Minnesota. Minnesota 'braced wonderfully after Fllnna touchdown and played a better game. Michigan made her first BCore aftor 10 minutes of play In the first half. Weeks won the toss and1 chose the weBt goal, which was favored by a rathor stiff wind. Heaton, Herensteln, Uaver and Maddock, the last named hurdling like a kangaroo, smashed the Oopher's back to their one yard line.

The attacks were directed mostly against left tackle which seemed total ly Incapable oil coping with the diver sified form In which the Michigan men of. them. With only a yard to gain for a. touchdown Michigan hit the line but the play stopped there. A cheer went up from the Minnesota rooters.

Another grinding mass play, however, sent Maddock over' 'the line and the first score of the western championship contest had been recorded. This was tho only touchdown of the game made on straight line bucking. Sweeley converted It Into a goal and the score was Michigan 6, Minnesota 0. Tho Michigan supporters Including nearly everyone present, cheered and waved their flags but It remained for 1 lesion, who waa destined to be the star of the game, to electrify them. Hard play had carried the ball In Michigan's possession to Minnesota's 20 yard line.

Maddock disjointed the Gopher line In his vicinity and Heaton saw the hole and went through It Hko a Two men mlsse him as ho went through. WHh a burst of speed. which everyone to Ma feet, Heaton circled toward tlio side lines and just escaped Harries. Ho ran squarely behind the goal posts and a moment later the bulletin board showed Michigan 12, Minnesota 0. The half closed with these figures unchanged and the ball In Michigan's possession on Its own EO yard line.

Tho sixteenth annual convention of (ho Fort Way no District Christian Endeavor union opened at Plymouth Congregational church last evening, and the large attendance and the Interest betrayed presage a most successful meeting. The church was literally crowded and the big audience man! tested Its earnestness by the close attention given the speakers and the hearty participation In the exercises and singing. Indeed, more than once the tinuaual spectacle was seen of a church audience breaking out into tu multuous applause, and the unwonte demonstrations In tho sacred edifice, far from appearing unseemly, carried to the spectator a conviction of the oarnest zeal actuating thoao present. Delegates are present from nearly all the cities and towns In Allan, Adams, Huntington, Well, and Whit ley counties, and among them; are nearly all the ministers of dehomlna tiuna represented In the great Chris tlan society.

Tho Interior appearance of lieautlful Plymouth church Ib thoroughly emblematic of tho Endeavor society, long streamers of tho society's colors blue vand white bolng stretched from the con tor to th outer angles of tho celling, whilo the monogram appears on all sldos.

Mr. Mostman said he was proud of the fact that the first branch of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor in Fort Wayne was CBtab fished In Plymouth church.

Thoy wore prompted by the amusing, but wise sayings of a lovable old Irishman, the late James McOarry, who kept a buffet in Dearborn street. Hen nessy, a barkeeper, was tho foil for McOsrry's wit.

From local subjects Mr. Dunne branched Into those of a national anil International chara4or. His reputa tion has reached the lOnglish reading liubllc in all parts of the world. FATAL WRECK ON THE SYLVANIA RAILrfi is INDJANAPOL iii HI I tjUL 'Ajasf VtVKJJ Ul AY Vv I XT vY INniANAPQUS. Npy.
