Illini, in truth, fighting Illini worthy of the best tradition of Orange and Blue, defeated Chicago's Maroons, grim and determined, making their strongest challenge, before 31,000 at Stagg field yesterday. The margin was 6 to 0, resulting from a touchdown scored after the game was 10 minutes old when Tackle Chuck Galbreath took a pass from Jack Beynon near the goal line.

This pass had bounded off the fingers of an eager Maroon trying to bat it down. Galbreath twisted and squirmed the remaining yard to fall across the goal line. Reliable Les Lind-berg missed the extra point for the first time this season. By Its victory, Illinois, one of the lightest conference elevens, especially in the line, ended in third place among Big Ten elevens, with four victories and one defeat. It was the best season since the champion Illini of 1928, a scoreless tie in their annual meeting, also tied for eighth in the final standings, with one victory and three beaU ings.

This afternoon these warriors, an invincible machine, perhaps the greatest in Minnesota history and certainly the best since 1904, rolled over Wisconsin's Badgers, 34 to 0. It was their eighth consecutive victory of the campaign, during which their supremacy was challenged only by Pittsburgh.

They believed, so their cheers said, that this victorious Minnesota team should be sole holder of the Big Ten title. Indeed, there seemed no doubt in their minds that Minnesota likewise is the best team N.

Consider Minnesota's record in its eight consecutive conquests. The Gophers have scored 270 points to opponents' 38. Moreover, in evidence Michigan, 1 3-6 of their tremendous power with a team superbly conditioned and backed by; College Football What an Upset! of 1931. Keep Regulars in Game. That lone touchdewn was the tenuous lead which Illinois held all afternoon against an opposing eleven, outplayed in the first half, which came back with surprising courage to carry the battle to its adversaries when it received breaks denied in the early stages.

So dubious was the outlook, although Illinois always seemed the more resourceful, that Illinois' forward wall from tackle to tackle, End Francis Cantwell, Field General Beynon, and Punter Les Lindberg played the full 60 minutes. In this battle between two elevens of almost equal caliber according to statistics, as well as in fact, Illini forwards played a prominent rSle. They refused to be drawn from position by deceptive Maroon formations, frequently crashed through to spill the interference for Jay Berwanger, Maroon ace whom they watched like hawks, and finally held firm, taking the ball on downs when Chicago threatened to crash through to at least a tie, possibly a victory, in the closing stages. At another time, late in the second period, it was the Maroon linemen who frustrated the Illini and prevented a second touchdown which would have clinched the issue. Chicago Forced Back.

BY CHARLES BARTLETT. (Picture on page 3, Sports.) Chicago Tribune Press Service. Ann Arbor, Nov. 24. For a couple of happy moments this afternoon 25,000 loyal Michigan fans who have suffered with their football team throughout the sorriest season in its history began to wonder if there might not be at least one consoling drop in their cup of woe.

One of those moments came in the last seconds of the first half when "Willis Ward, the Wolverine all around Negro athlete, stepped back to the Northwestern 13 yard line and sent the ball spinning over the bar for a three point lead at the intermission. This was nullified by a W'ildcat touchdown in the third quarter, but once more Wrard came back, this time to the 14 yard line, and tied the score at 6 to 6 with another place kick.

Vairo, in the first five minutes of play, Notre Dame kept the pressure on steadily and it was apparent that eventually Army would crack under the strain, although the teams entered the final three minutes with the count tied at 6 to 6. It remained for the last Notre Dame player who was coached by Knute Rockne to score the touchdown that sent West Point away defeated for the 15th time in football's oldest intersec-tional series.

It was a superb punt by Lindberg from Illinois' 45 yard line which went for a touchback that placed the Maroons on the defensive. Berwanger, hurried as he was all afternoon, returned and it was Illinois' Pug Lund, Minnesota's leader, was Yale's victory before a crowd of was scored over as gallant a team as any in the history of Harvard. Trailing by two touchdowns at the start of the second half, Harvard came back to play nearly the entire last two periods in Yale territory. Only the fickleness of fortune prevented it from scoring in the final period. Yale earned its victory, as it has all its other triumphs this year.

Pilney sped around his right end for four yards and Elser hit center for a yard. Pilney then whipped a pass over the line slightly to the right of center.

Hanley was standing on Army's 15 yard line waiting to grab it out of the air. He took a swift glance at the oncoming West Point tacklers, whirled to his left and set out for the goal. Millner rushed up to block Army's right half back out of the play. That was all the help Hanley needed. He raced over the line standing up, about five yards from the left side line.

The Wolverines, playing their best football of the season by comparison with previous 1934 efforts, not only held advantage in points at the half, but in genera! play as well.

There was little doubt, however, as to the Wildcats' superiority in the second half. The final statistics revealed ten Northwestern first downs to Michigan's Ave, all of the latter being made in the first half. The Wildcats gained 197 yards by rushing to the Wolverines' 76, only two of which were gained in the second half. Steve Toth, North-western's kicking prodigy, averaged better than 43 yards on his punts, while Oliver and Regeczi of Michigan totaled 36. The Wolverines lost the valuable services of Regeczi when a knee injury forced him out of the game in the second quarter.

The ball had arrived utes of the first half. Both sets of linesmen played remarkable football. Outstanding for Notre Dame was Jack Robinson at center, who whanged 'em and banged 'em and scattered and slew. He left the field in the final moments looking like he had fallen into a nest of cogwheels, but Notre Dame can thank him for the fact that Army this day could go nowhere with its running attack. Leading the Cadets' defense was Bob Schuler at end, son of fighting Bob Schuler, Los Angeles evangelist.

It was Schuler who speared the pass from Buckler in the second quarter that tied the score. Irish Start Well. Army rushed the ball 97 yards to Notre Dame's 84, but the Irish did their gaining when it did the most good. Only once did Army get anything like a march under way.

The statement that there was not a Boilermaker within fifteen yards of the big Hoosier end is no exaggeration.

Antonini calmly caught the ball and loped to the goal. A little later in the second quarter the stunned Boilermakers got another sock between the eyes. Purvis punted to Veller, who was downed as he caught the ball on Indiana's 18 yard line. On the first play thereafter Veller outran five would-be tacklers in going around his right end.
