There can't be anything to the law of averages. Otherwise Michigan, one of these years, would win a football game from Minnesota. The Gophers today, with one lightning thrust, removed the Wolverines from the ranks of the nation's undefeated teams, 7 to 6. Again it was Joe Mernik, whose point after touchdown whipped Northwestern last week, who turned In the margin of victory for Minnesota. While Mernik's kick decided the result of this furiously waged game it was Bruce Smith who deserves major credit for moving his team into first conversion from placement made most of the 63,216 spectators think they were about to see the Irish suffer their first 1940 defeat.

Sammy Boothe kicked off to Saggau, who was ball men of Nebraska, heirs apparent to the Big Six conference championship, overpowered Iowa's hapless Hawkeyes this afternoon, 14 to 6.

Twenty-six thousand of the 33,000 who had purchased all the reserved seats in Memorial Stadium disdained the rain which started in early morning and continued intermittently until game time. As reward, apparently, for the fans' support of the Cornhuskers, who have teen beaten only once this season, the chill, slanting rain ceased just after the rival squads took the field for their preliminary drills and as workmen still were struggling with the canvas covering of the gridiron. Thus, the battle site merely was slow instead of sloppy, and each team was willing to test its air attack. There was no question of Nebraska's superiority on the" ground. The Huskers gained 188 net yards from rushing to 60 for the Hawkeyes.

Moreover, Nebraska quickly seized its first advantage, an Iowa fumble recovered fifteen yards from the Hawkeye goal, and scored in the opening period. They followed up in the next period with a second touchdown on an eighty-two yard drive in 13 plays to lead Iowa, 14 to 0. Iowan Rung 77 Yards. On the subsequent kickoff Wilford Burkett, Hawkeye right end, received the ball on his own 23 yard line and raced down the east side line seventy-seven yards to score. When the point following the touchdown was missed by Bill Gallagher, the failure permitted the Cornhuskers to con- downed on his 22 yard line.

(Picture on page 3, Sports.) Palo Alto, Nov. 9 (JP). Leland Stanford university's eleven picked up another strong scent today on its path to the Rose bowl, but not without encountering a few thorns along the route. Behind, 7 to 0, at half time, and 10 to 7 as the fourth quarter started, Stanford scored two touchdowns for a 20 to 10 triumph over Washington. In winning, Stanford eliminated Its strongest foe, dealing Jim Phelan's Huskies their first defeat.

It was a meeting of coaches who once led teams in the Western conference Jim Phelan of Washington, former Purdue coach, and Clark Shaughnessy, who left Chicago last year when the Maroons abandoned football to take charge of Stanford's sagging gridiron fortunes. Seventh in Row for Stanford. It was Stanford's seventh consecutive triumph. Two more conference games remain against weak foes, Oregon State on Nov. 16 and California on Nov.

30. This is all that stands between Shaughnessy's forces and the invitation to represent the Pacific coast in the Rose bowl game in Pasadena on New Year's day. A crowd estimated at 65,000 fans, sitting in cool and sunnyweather, saw Stanford make the most thrilling comeback of the season in these parts. Washington, outplayed in the first period and unable to cross midfield, scored suddenly in the second quarter on a ninety-one yard drive." It was featured by a fifty-six yard run by Jack Stackpool, full back, who, after seemingly being hemmed in, broke loose again to reach Stanford's 35. Washington Goes Ahead.

After a two yard gain thru the line, Dean McAdams, right half, whipped the ball to Earl Younglove, substitute right end, who' ran fifteen yards for the score.

The trickery which makes the Iiiir.i deadly enemies almost engulfed Nf rthwestern's Wildcats yesterday before 35,000 in Dyche stadium. With a dazzling assault, both on the ground ird in the air, the Orange and Blue kvrocketed to an early lead, went tack into a tie and then regained tl.e lead again. It was only a one irt lead, but they held on to it until the final quarter when the ttiV pressed Wildcats turned on jowcr and converted a brilliant fr-- for all battle into a rout.

With the opening of the second quarter Red Hahnenstein and Don Clawson were ordered into action. North western's attack began to Distance melted before this pair and Ike Kepford until the Illini had been pounded back 49 yards to their 47 yard line. One more play fetched the touchdown.

It came on a long pass that Hahnenstein started and Jimmy Smith finished by sprinting 15 yards to the Illinois goal. Right after this the Orange and Blue resumed pacing the parade. The next time the Wildcats were heard from was late in the third period. Dick Richards stole an Illinois pass in midfield and by the time the quarter ended the victors again were knocking on the touchdown door. Don Clawson entered on two plays in the final quarter, giving the Wildcats a 20 to 14 advantage.

A few minutes later another Illini pass was stolen in midfield and Northwestern boomed to another touchdown. And a bit later some of the Illini lads overlooked the necessity of handling a kickoff. Northwestern grabbed it on the 5 yard line and went over again. Wildcat Drive Fails. The Wildcats opened the battle with a sweeping attack, not knowing that evil times were immediately ahead.

Smith took the ball on his 20 yard line, found an opening outside Michigan's left tackle, cut back toward the left side lines, and raced eighty yards to the goal. Two Michigan defenders apparently had him trapped in midfield, but he slipped out of their grasp and ran right thru the outstretched arms of Bob West-fall, the Wolverine full back who tried to bring him down on Michigan's 40. Thereafter there was nothing ahead but drizzling rain and a soggy turf. Mernik's successful try for point gave Minnesota its seventh straight victory over its old rival from Ann Arbor, an achievement the like of which no other opponent of Michigan can boast. The last time the Wolverines defeated the Gophers was in 1932 by the margin of Harry Newman's place kick.

The two teams played a scoreless tie in 1933. 63,894 Sit in Rain. Despite an all day rain which was coming down in torrents in the fourth quarter, a record breaking crowd of 63,894 huddled under umbrellas, oil skins, and newspapers. Minnesota, which has won from Washington, Nebraska, Ohio State, Iowa, Northwestern, and Michigan in succession, tonight stands alone at the top of the conference standings, with only Purdue and Wisconsin blocking its claim to the title. Today's game had been widely billed as a scoring duel between Michigan's Tom Harmon and Minnesota's George Franck, but nothing of the sort developed.

The hero's rdle was monopolized by Smith, whose average gain for the day was 7.7 yards. Bob Sweiger, full back, was the second leading ground gainer for the Gophers, he freighted the leather nine times for an average of 5.7 yards. Harmon Bottled Up. Westfall, whose terrific plunging almost swept Minnesota off its feet in the first few minutes of the game, was the big man in Michigan's offense. He carried the ball 22 times for an average of 3.2 yards, while Harmon, whose pyrotechnics today were more or less restricted to ex- Huskers Roll On Then the Fireworks.

Then the fireworks began. Steve Juzwik tossed a pass to Saggau, good for eighteen yards. Turn about seemed like a courteous thing to do, so Saggau threw a pass to Juzwik. This one was good for thirty-five yards and first down on Navy's 25 yard line. Juzwik fumbled and lost nine yards.

The Irish apparently didn't bat an eye at this little setback. On the next play, Saggau cast a pass to Bob Har-grave. Thirteen more yards for the Irish and Navy was assessed an additional five yards for holding. Twenty yards to go and stay in the undefeated bracket. Saggau passed to Ray Ebli.

There was the ball on Navy's 3 yard line. Notre Dame was penalized five yards for offside, but Juzwik promptly got back four of the lost yards at left end. Saggau used too much muscle in a pass intended for Ilargrave and Milt Piepul was thrown for a two yard loss. Ilargrave Helps Out. It was fourth down and seven to go for a touchdown.

Seemed to some the spot for a place kick and a 9 to 7 victory. It didn't seem that way to the Irish. Saggau faked a pass, ran wide to his right behind spectacular blocking by Ilargrave and went over for the touchdown standing up. Capt. Piepul added the placement and the score had reached its final status.

There were four minutes and eleven seconds remaining, but the Navy was pretty well squelched and hopes vanished in the final minute when Piepul intercepted a pass and ran to the Navy 23 yard line. The game ended shortly afterward. first three periods saw remarkable out of bounds punting inside the 10 yard line, twice on the 1 yard line, and it was one such bit of foxy booting that got the game's first scoring on its way.

Nov. 9 VP). Columbia pulled another one out of the fire today. Just about the time the crowd of 20,000 at Baker field was convinced that Wisconsin's Badgers had the ball game won, Columbia scored a fourth quarter touchdown on a blocked kick and added the point for a 7 to 6 victory. Joe Siegal the loose ball after Ray Makofske had blocked the punt and galloped eighteen yards to the touchdown that tie the score.

Then Len Will booted the winning point. Badgers Open Scoring. Up to that point the break occurred with five minutes gone in the final quarter it was definitely Wisconsin's game. The Badgers scored early in the second quarter on a thirty-eight yard pass from Mark Hoskins to Dave Schreiner to climax an impressive aerial display. Then Fred Gage's, ordinarily the "old reliable" of the Wisconsin kicking department, place kick was blocked bj Don- Snave-ly, and that turned out to be the little job which meant the ball game.

Hal Hursh, Indiana's remarkable sharpshooter, escaped from the bench this afternoon to throw the passes which were the decisive factors in a 20 to 0 Hoosier victory over Michigan State. Indiana went into the game with the intention of concentrating on rushing tactics. Hursh was kept on the side lines, which was a new experience for him. Thru most of the first quarter, the Hoosier backs hurled themselves against the rugged Michigan State line without avail. Just before the end of the period, Hursh was sent in as left half back and signal caller.

But still there was no passing. Hursh Starts Throwing. There came a moment early in the second quarter, however, when something radical had to be done. The Hoosiers had advanced from their own 20 yard line to the Spartan 49 on a march that was sparked by Dale Swihart's twenty-one yard sprint. Now the drive showed unmistakable signs of stalling.

It was third down and there were thirteen yards to go. It was here that Hursh put his special talents to work. Taking the IOWA 6J. NEBRASKA 14. Pettit L.E Preston Gable L.T Kahler Curran L.G.......
