It also is the story of a team that came back. For Michigan's men, behind, 11 to 0, after the first eleven minutes of their game against Ohio State, rose ta inspired heights. They scored once in the second period, again In the third. Then, with only 50 seconds to play, on fourth down and from a place-kick formation, Fred TrosKo ran twenty-three yards around all Ohio State defenders to win this climactic game of the Eig Ten season, 21 to 1L But even in defeat, Ohio State was not deprived of the Western confer ence championship its first clear claim since 1920. Iowa, held to a tie by Northwestern, was stopped half a game behind the Buckeyes, whose conference record is five victories and today's defeat.

The Hawkcycs won four, lost one and tied one. Schmidt's First Title. It marked the fruition of Francis Schmidt's title ambitions for his Buckeyes. He had come close several times since taking over the coaching reins in 1931, but always something had happened. Today, something again happened, but not enough to make his lot a bitter one.

When Trosko scored the winning touchdown the greatest throng ia Michigan's stadium in six years 80.227 became almost uncontrolable.

Harold Van Every, the most accomplished football player of the University of Minnesota's current generation, ended his college gridiron career today by leading the Gophers to a 23 to 6 victory over Wisconsin. While a crowd of 40,000 watched this 43th game between the two schools. Van Every ciid just about everything a first class performer could be expected to do. He carried the ball repeatedly for long gains and kept driving from a firm footing long after he was tackled. He threw rifle shot passes so accurately that his receivers took them without a change of stride.

He was on the spot to intercept the throws of his opponents and to recover fumbles. And in between times he booted high, twisting punts that gave his ends plenty of time to get to the receivers. Gopher Line Helps. He was aided in this performance by a powerful Gopher line that opened up tremendous gaps in the Badger forward wait Repeatedly the Minnesota bail carriers got 8s far as the Wisconsin secondary without a hand being laid upon them. Eob Sweiger, Martin Christiansen, and Eruce Smith did conspicuous work in abetting Van Every's ground gaining.

A victory in this historic series sent the Minnesota fans home happy despite the fact that this concluded one of the Gophers' worst seasons of recent times. In Eig Ten competition they won only two games, while losing three and tying one. Outside of the conference they won one and lost one. The Badgers were making their bid for their only conference victory. la failles thy finished their Eis Ten schedule with five lost and one tied.

Badger Take Lead. During the first half it seemed that Wisconsin might make a battle of it BY EDWARD BURNS. lii- aco Tribune Press Servire. Eloomington, Nov. 23.

Purdue this afternoon forged another link on the highly ornamental chain attached to the Old Oaken Bucket- Lou Brock made a third period touchdown for the Eoilermakers and Fred Montague added the point from placement. Tuffy Brooks made a fourth period touchdown for the Hootiers on a forty-five yard pass play, with Hal Hursh hurling, but Eddie Herbert failed to add the point. That's the way the 42d Purdue-Indiana game ended; Purdue, Indiana, 6. A capacity crowd of 25.000 attended. The game, as the score indicates, was typical of the way the Boilermakers and the Hoosiers annually play football against each other.

With all its hard fought aspects the battle was cleanly waged, without a penalty for violence of any kind. Neither tetim was assessed more than five yards and there was only one penalty, for a time out, in the first three quarters. March 63 Yard to Score. The Purdue boys ripped into the victory business with a sixty-three yard march at the very outset of the second half, after the first half had ended with Indiana In possession of five first downs made in the first period and Purdue in possession of five first downs, made in the second quar-ter, but with neither having accrued anything tangible toward the payoff. The Eoilermakers' scoring foray got under way when Leon DeWitte returned the second half kickoff to his 37 yard line and then added seven from scrimmage.

Brock cut loose a pass to Jack Brown which put the ball on Indiana's 21 yard line. On the second play of the next series Brock made another first down on Indiana's 14 yard line. There was an son this bleak afternoon, had almost single handed given the Buckcye3 their seemingly insurmountable advantage in the opening period. In that time Trosko threw two passes. Both were intercepted.

He fumbled and Ohio State recovered. From the fumble the Bucks marched to their opening score; from the second interception they produced a second. Don Scott place kicked both points. Faith in Trosko Repaid. To start the second period Hercules P.cnda replaced Trosko.

And so, many thought, this was the end for the youngster who in his sophomore campaign kicked the points after touchdowns which defeated three of Michigan's opponents. Michigan still had faith in Trosko. More faith, in truth, than hii thousands of Michigan's rooters who had watched his failures. Trosko came back, he played all except the few seconds following his touchdown run, and then he left the game as Michigan's partisans cheered unrestrainedly. Trosko exemplified Michigan's team.

The Wolverines only had the ball for eight plays in the 11 minutes Ohio State required to roll up its two touchdown lead. Three of the eight plays were mis plays by Trosko. But Michigan, humiliated by Illinois ar.4 thoroly whipped by Minnesota, rallied to win this most Important engagement of the year. Ey this victory, since Ohio State had beaten Minnesota and Illinois, the Wolverines assuaged memory cf defeat. They shattered Ohio State's undefeated record in the Eig Ten.

A FUee Kick? No, a Eur. Trosko's touchdown run was a product of Michigan's team play. But this was one victory dictated from the sidelines. It was produced when Purdue, Minnesota, and Notre Dame, came to the end of their 1939 gridiron trail yesterday in Dyche stadium and found a pack of furious Northwestern Wildcats. All the cunning the Hawks had used to sweep aside five foes in a row wasn't enough for the last lap of a meteoric march on which hung a claim to the Big Ten title.

But the Hawks did surge forth when defeat was about to engulf them and fight their way into a 7 to 7 tie before 40,000 spectators. Stung by their previous beatings and further aroused by the challenge other Big Ten members, Michigan excepted, couldn't meet, the Cats came up with sharpened claws. They drove the gallant little band of Iowans up and down the field, but with one exception, in the second period, the Iowans had a last minute defense. And then when the Cats erred late In the third quarter that little band refused to let up offensively until final quarter activity put them back on even terms. Kinnick Is Hurt.

By a strange twist of fate Nile Kin-nick, the prize of the Hawks back field, was gone from the scene when the Cats' seven point lead melted away. For the better part of the first three periods the sturdy ICin-nick was a fire ball. He always threatened, but the Cats were never off his heels. On defense he never got off their heels. But in the third period he and a pal bounced out of bounds along with a Wildcat who was carrying the ball.

Kinnick, the kid who had been able to dodge mishap, was messed up. Kinnick came back onto the field after the mishap, but bis pitching arm was giving him trouble. r- f-ass. it v.as smooth, machine- Precision that kept battering 4t the Notre Dame defenses. constantly were replaced, yet aouth was the gearing the tempo iackened and the pressure I fcftened.

Southern hai the fight and fire and that characterized Trojan teams early years of this glamorous a the season's final effort "otre Dame and the second year ro mained, but Floyd Buzz Dean took over the throwing. Then, with three minutes of the third period unelapsed, he had to quit because of a separation of the right shoulder muscles. So that was the end of the collegiate career of a lad who had gone thru the six previous games without a stooge. Fumble Sets Up Score. The Hawks, even tho sharing in an early fumbling exhibition, were down to the Purple 5 yard line by the time the first period ended.

At the start of the second quarter they were three yards away when Northwestern recovered a fumble by Bill Green. Then Bill De Correvont made a fifty-four yard touchdown run that didn't count. And, with the second quarter close to eclipse, the Cats started a twenty-five yard touchdown offense in which a catching feat by Al Eutherus played the big part. Encouraged by their seven point lead, the Cats pushed down to the Iowa 12 yard mark in the third period. The Hawks stopped this attack.

Later on, with the Cats again in possession of the ball, George McGurn fumbled and Mike Enich of the Hawks recovered. The Hawks went on from this point, and an apparent pass interference by the same Mc- Carmel in Mayor Keuys an-c. championship game, which will be played in Soldiers' field next Saturday. Griffin Open Scoring. Griffin's first touchdown was scored early in the first quarter on a thirty-five yard run when he carried the ball for the third time.

Midway in the same period the 185 pound quarter back crashed over the 4 yard line for the second score. A few minutes later he slipped around left end for the third touchdown. In the first half. Criffin gained 114 yards in fifteen attempts as he led the champions to their 22d consecu-live victory.
