In tying the unbroken 'string of triumphs set by the late Knute Rbckne's famous Notre Dame teams 15 years ago, Minnesota outgained Michigan 286 yards to' 43 and amassed IS first downs compared to only five for the Maize and Blue. Wolves Stopped Cold Stopped cold by the Minnesota line where big Kd Widscth was a tower ot strength, Michigan was forced to kick on almost every occasion and the Gophers marched to the Wolverine 10 in the second period.

George Faust, sub fullback, converted.

Oct Two dashing Dons of the grid- Geyer and Don twice brought Northwestern from ehind today to conquer Ohio State, 14 to 13, in a raging gridiron offensive battle. The defeat sent the Buckeyes' Western Conference championship lopes down to keep company with their thwarted national title dreams. Making their first start in defense of the Big Ten title they shared with Minnesota last year, the Buckeyes were away to a touchdown lead in the first period, came back to regain it in the third period, only to have the Wildcats haul themselves together in the final period for a savage winning drive that had 40,000 spectators almost hysterical.

The two Dons, with vital assistance from a sturdy line and Steve Toth's fine kicking and at least an even share of the "breaks" were the terminal instruments in all of Northwestern's scoring. Geyer Scores Geyer, IS-l-pound fullback from Waterloo, blasted through the middle of the Big Red line for the first Northwestern touchdown, a score made possible when John Kovatch recovered a fumble by Ohio's sophomore halfback star.

He made a groat catch of a bullet-like 10-yard pass from Bernard Jefferson, sophomore colored halfback, for the touchdown. He had helped pave the way by taking a lateral from fteycr and firing a pass to Kovatch to put the ball within reaching distance of the goal linn. Buckeyes wont down battling and outplayed by no great margin.

Coach Bob Zuppke's crafty boys could not produce the final scoring punch, but several times they surged deep into Hawkcye territory.

The best Illinois threat came shortly after the start of the third quarter when the Illini recovered the ball on the Iowa 32-yard line. Bob Lannon, Hawkeye end, juggled the kick-off and an alert Illini pounced it. Iowa's only real scoring threat came in the second quarter, although Oze Simmons, the Hawkeye ace, raced across the Illinois goal for what Iowa fans thought was a touchdown in the third period. Oze took a toss Intended for a lateral pass from Bushnell Lamb, Iowa quarterback who had cut through the Illinois 45-yard line, and tore down the sidelines across the goal. The officials, however, ruled Lamb's pass was a forward and called off the whole play, Iowa losing a down.

Dead on its feet since John Henry Lewis graduated to big-time ranks, it was with a great deal of pleasure that we were able to add to the fight story the other night that "it drew the biggest crowd that has witnessed a fistic show in Phoenix in two or three years." During that period many fight enthusiasts have come to me with pleas "to help get some support for the game." Others have demanded that I heap coals of criticism on the heads ot those attempting "to promote such farces." Both arguments held merit but there vras little one could do about either. In the first instance there was nothing one person could do to help the fight game.

It was on the "spot" because of many poor showings and redemption lay only in its own hands. In the second instance, criticism of the would have been wholly unfair for in nearly every instance they handcuffed. It costs money.to put fighters In the ring and various promoters have taken a turn at putting them there in. Phoenix. No promoter, save fly-by-night wants a poor bout on his card and Plioenix has had few looked only for the first night's take.

They have exercised the best judgment at their command, strained their purse-strings to the limit to give Phoenicians these fights and gambled on the result Unhappily lots of the have: been artark Fighter? have stalled through their bouts. Others have taken a look at the barren scats and refused to don gloves. A few fought their hearts out, giving the best they possessed, in an effort to bring the game back to par. And happily these few have brought a glimmer of hope to the game. It has taken many weeks of work to raise the fights in Phoenix to the present standard.

It wasn't just a break that gave promoters three fights running that were crammed with action from start to finish. It warn the result of careful weeding out of the riff-raff, the augmenting of the few willing to fight for the game that gained the desired end. And right now the game is at Its critical stage. The tiny flame that provides the glimmer of hope for it can be whipped into a sturdy blaze or ii can be extinguished. seems to have a good foundation and if carefully nursed bj Tommy Concannon and O'Brien, promoters, find the answer to the pleas fight, enthusiasts who wanted "support for the came."
