The pass was taken by Harold Van Every and hurriedly put in position for a field goal. Mernik's right leg swished thru the air and the ball sailed accurately toward Ohio State's goal. Lazily, almost tantalizingly, it seemed to hang over the cross bar.

Then came the break that crushed Minnesota's hopes. The hit the cross bar and bounced back into the field of play. The Gophers were; denied a field goal and a tie score. Thus, dramatically and sensationally, Ohio State escaped with a 23 to 20 victory in one of the most exciting football games your correspondent ever has seen.

Fortune one moment was smiling on Ohio ALABAMA, 21-0 State and then turning to Minnesota. College Football Don Clawson, bulky sophomore full back from Kankakee, twice revealed to a newly joyous Northwestern constituency yesterday afternoon in Dyche stadium that a goal line is not a barbed wire barricade, as they sorrowfully had begun to suspect. Clawson twice went over first in the second and again in the third quarter after the Wisconsin Badgers had taken a 7 to 0 lead in the first four minutes of the game. Thus his runs supplied the main business in a 13 to 7 Wildcat victory.

The teams never were more than a touchdown apart and both sides found much to applaud in the performance of the lads who entered the contest under the rap of bitter disappointments in their earlier games. The Wildcats, as you may have heard, hadn't scored a point prior to yesterday, and the Eadgers were shut out in their one prior Big Ten engagement. So scoring became something about which to cheer, and the 0,000 folks cheered early and long. Badgers Score on 40 Yard Pass. The Badger supporters did most of the hollering at the outset, and for good reason.

After several minutes of play Bill Schmitz of the Badgers took a punt on his own 25 yard line and returned to his 37 yard line. That, as it turned out, was the inception of the afternoon's first touchdown project. Claude York made three yards and George Paskvan added one, then the Badgers moved up fifteen yards as a result of a roughing penalty against the Wildcats. Schmitz failed to complete a pass, and Paskvan made three yards as a warm up for the next play, a forty yard pass, Schmitz to York, which gave the Badgers their touchdown. York received the pass on his 20 yard line and ran for the touchdown without much of a challenge.

Fred Gage was wide in a first attempt to add the point from placement, but Northwestern was offside so Frederick tried again. This time he was a success.

Purdue's football men, held in check for 29 minutes, launched an aerial attack in the closing seconds of the first half of today's game with Michigan State.

This lightning thrust consisted of a forty-one yard pass followed by a six yard end around sweep for a touchdown. Midway in the third period the Boilermakers struck again thru the air, this time for sixty-four yards. Then a twenty-nine yard fourth quarter march to the goal gave them such complete command that they didn't have to worry when the Spartans advanced twenty-five yards to a touchdown in the last five minutes of play, bringing the final score to Purdue, 20; Michigan State, 7. Passes Change Things. That first quick attack changed the entire complexion of the conflict.
