The result was a 6 to 6 tie In today's great battle between the Gopners and the 1914 champions of the conference. If Macomber had not missed the goal Illinois would have won and Illinois would have been lucky. For It looked to most of Us neutrals as if Minnesota deserved anything but defeat.

The Gophers had three beautiful chances to score and several thalovere not quite so beautiful. The punch was always lackinz, and but for a brilliant little dash by a bird named Sprafka Illinois goal line would remained inviolate. BY RING W. LARDNER. i WEST.

1C.J.,Oct.30.-1SpeciallAlthough the Tigers had four varsity players up at Boston scouting on the Harvard team. Princeton managed to roll up 27 points on Williams this afternoon, and Williams failed to score. Princeton missed the absentees to a considerable extent, and the offensive showing of the Tigers was cot encouraging. Williams furnished weak opposition to the attack of the Tigers, and the ball was in Williams' territory except for a short time in the final Moore Makes 45 Yard Run. A long run by Billy Moore in the last period was the feature of the game.

Moore. who was shifted from end to half last Thursday. replaced Law at full.back in the second half and was called upon to hit the center of the Williams line. His speed carried him past the lines anti evading player after player by his speed alone he covered forty-five yards of turf for a touchdown. Williams only chance to score came in the last few minutes of play.

Laplante. the visitors' right end. grabbed a pass from Overton out of the air and carried the ball to the Tigers' five yard line. where he was forced out of bounds. With only a minute to play, Jones.

Williams' geartet called for several line plays. but they were all repulsed. On the fourth down Jones fumbled the ball and a Tiger pounced on Law Goes Over Twice. Law was the only Tiger playing up to form. He scored the first two touchdowns.

Williams displayed a flash of defensive ability in the first period when it halted every drive that Ames tbo Princeton field general, directed toward their goal. Lineup: Princeton. Williams. R. Lamberton Blodgett L.

ECKERSALL. In one of the hardest fought games seen on Stagg field in recent years. Chicago stepped one more notch. toward the championship by winning from Wisconsin. 14 to 13.

The failure of Simpson. the Badger quarter back. to kick the goal after the Wisconsin second touchdown. cost the visitors the honor of leaving the field on even terms. Two of he four touchdowns were the 'results of fumbled punts.

while the other scores were earned through hard. aggressive football. In the opening period Gordon fumbled one of Simpson's punts and Capt. Buck gathered in the oval and carried it to the Maroon five yard line. On the nest play Smit'h, bit the Chicago lirie for the first score of the game.

Gordon Makes Great Run. In the second period Gordon gel. loose for forty yards on a split play for a touchdown after Smith had scored Wisconsin's second touchdown. This made the score Id to T. in favor of the Badgers.

On the other hand. the visitors' attacks were sent avi ay behind a hard holding line and with a compact interference in front. The Wolverine line and ends were equally vulnerable and It was not until Smith 'came into the game in the last part of the final quarter that Syracuse found itself stopped. 'be appearance of the injured Michigan star was the signal for a wonderful brace. Smith took the ball and on the' offensive.

Hopes of the Michigan Aggies that they might possibly be considered as contenders for the western football championship as a result of their Victory over Michigsm went glimmering today when the Oregon. Aggies trounced the farmers, 20 to O.

The victory was so decisive there was no room for doubt as to the relative merits of the two teams. In every department except forward passing the westerners excelled the M. A. C. Only one pass was attempted by Oregon and that failed.

A wonderful back field, the best that ever played on the local field. was responsible for the victory of the Oregon school.

30.Pennsylvanla met defeat on the football field today. for the third time this season. when Lafayette won, 17 to O. It as a. crushing blow for.

the Quakers. Pennsylvania carried the ball about four times as far as Lafayette. Its power was almodt. irresistible, but it los through fumbling and bad judgment in running off plays. Penn made fifteen first down to Lafayette's four.

Lafayette scored early in the first period when Lake kicked a neld goal from Pennsylvania's thirty-six -yard- line. In the second period Quarter Back Bern, of Penn fumbled a punt and Scott of Lafayette. scooping up the ball on the run, 'sprinted forty-live yards for a touchdown. In the final period a forward pass, Weldon to Scott. netted twentyve yards and the second Lafayette touchdown.

Gopher Stars Badly Needed. Every time Minnesota was heid just short of a touchdown we looked over at Doc Williams. and read his mind. It WWI a cinch. He was thinking about Bierman.

his crippled captain and he was thinking about Solon. his disqualified star. Either one is a terror to opponents when only a yard or two is needed. But neither one was in there today to gain the required yard or two. However, the Gophers must not be given that alibi, unless one also mentions that Pogue was not in the Illini lineup to tear off one of his sensational runs.

He might not have snired. His record. however. is a touchdown or more against every team he ever faced. The game will go down in history as a tie.

and one of the winter sports of Gophers and Mini will be guessing what would have happened if either or both had tad their full strength. One of the best things Macomber does Is kick goals from touchdowns. It's his middle name. When he missed today the crowd could hardly believe it. Backers of the Orange and Blue cheered his effort.

They thought it had been a success. ISlacomber's Failure a Surprise. The score board was the object of unanimous attention. When the extra point failed to appear the crowd wondered why. Finally i the truth was It did not strike home-- as sharply at the time as when the game had ended and people realized what Bart-a failure meant.

e. No Gopher shares Bart's acute Misery. for no Gopher bad a -chance at goal Sprafka's touchdown was made' close io the side line. The ball waS punted out and no one caught IL In fact, no one got close enough to touch -it. Whether this was the punter's fault or the prospeCtivae catchers, we cannot say.

Bad Pass Gives Gophers Chance. There came near 'being a greater tragedy than Macomber's, with Capt. Watson of the Mini the victim. Late' in the gime the Orange. -and Blue battlers found themselves much too close to their own goal for comfort.

The punt signal was given; Watson passed the ball. Not even his best friends can sty it was a good pass. -was low and crooked. and Macomber could not get in. front of it.

Yards and yards toward the Illinois goal It rolled. and when one of Zuppke's men I finally clutched it only two white chalk 1 marks were between it and the last 1 trench. Worst of all, the bum pass was Imade on a fourth down, and even falling I on it did not save the ball for Illinois. 1 Thirteen thousand people shieered, I though the day was as hot as July. They continued to shiver while the Gopher I backs were tearing through for nine yards in three tries.

With a yard to go for vic- i I I 1 tory Sprafka's signal was called. He i I started for the line. but suddenly the ball I I was seen to leap from his hands. Several 1 Gophers were on top of it at once. But 1 several Illini were immediately on top.of the several Gophers Referee Magidsolin dived to the bottom of the heap and there discovered the ball still a yard from the goal line.

Watson's prayer changed in that moment to a hymn of thanksgiving. Wilat Doc Williams thought when he saw this golden opportunity slip away cannot be printed here. Macomber kicked i out of immediate danger. and once more 1 IMinnesota undertook the tedious journey goalward. But the goddess of fortune, her former gift rejected.

turned against 1 the men from the north and the final whistle sounded before the Gophers could get back inside the twenty yard line. Strain on Illinois Rooters. The game must have been a terrific strain On the part of those who favored Illinois. Many were the occasions when Zuppke's men seemed to be staring in the face of defeat. and very few were the moments when victory looked possible.

Probably it would not be stretching the truth to say that the feeling of the Mini at the finish was of relief and not sorrow over the score. In the first half Minnesota's game was the- old driving In the first few moments the Illinois line was torn to shreds. The tearing process started right after the initial kickoff. and it endured until one more tear meant a touchdown. It was not forthcoming.

Illinois must be credited for a sterling last ditch defense; rather that than censure the Minnesota backs for lack of a final punch. While on the subject of the Gopher backfield we beg to state that Wyman, Ballentine. and Sprafka on their showing today are as nifty a trio as can be located west of Buffalo. Solon was a great football player. Bierman is one.

But Ballentine. Wyman, and Sprafka can be mentioned in the same breath with that famous pair without apologizing to the latter. Both Sides Strong in Open Game. These three and Quarter Back Long worked beautifully together. The Gopher ends.

too played a sterling game. Beaton showed in particular and a moment before the windup came within an 'ace of making a brilliant pees catch that bad it gone through would have made all the difference in the 'world.
