(Exclusive) The University of Michigan team defeated Chicago in the new Michigan Stadium here this afternoon, 13 to 7. Playing against a team favored for the conference championship and picked to lose by three, or at least two touchdowns, the Maroons excelled themselves in fighting spirit If not in iroot-ball technique. They were outweighed in the line, their backs could not compare in all around ability with the Wolverine ball carriers, but taking "fight, Chicago, fight," as their home song, they outfought Michigan throughout the greater part of the game and were rewarded In the third quarter with a touchdown, a moral victory in itself, for it was the first time in the four games played since 1920 that a Maroon-clad runner dashed across the Michigan goal line.

10. (Exclusive) The Red Birds have come to roost at last on top of the world. In one the most thrilling -Lshes that any world series has ever known, with a final inning full of i throbs a thrills and flut- utenng puises, i I II Grimes beat Oeoree Earn 4 to in the seventh BURLEIGH GRir-IES and decisive test to leave St. Iuis with the winning margin by four games to three. The Cardinal vet pitched his rm off and his heart out to bring his mates within one lone put-out of a 4-to-0 triumph but this last put-out danced in front of his weary eyes like a will-o'-the-wisp In a fog.

And, after two men had scored with two still left on bases Bill Hallahan had to be rushed into action to retire the side. Bishop finally drove a long fly to center and as the dashing "Pepper" Martin hirled under the ball and hauled It down you could hear the roar that followed as far away as Kan sas City. That ninth inning was a dramatic tpot The Cardinals had drawn four runs from Earnshaw and were leading, 4 to 0, when 1 Al Simmons stepped to bat In the first half of the ninth. Grimes up this point had sup-i pressed the Athletics with five scattered hits. In the seventh 1 inning he fanned Simmons, Foxx and Dykes, three hard specl-: mens to throttle and he had opened the eighth by fanning Williams.

This extended span of strike-outs had lifted a bale of steam from his ancient arm and the effects began to show at once. He passed two in the eighth but managed to duck a fatal thrust. When he opened the ninth by passing Al Simmons it was easy enough to see that he had lost control through 6heer and utter weariness. The brain and heart ere still there, but the old-war worn right elbow and wrist had lost their craft and cunning. Still working desperately, fighting it out to the la.it pitch, resting himself at every chance, Grimes retired Jim my Foxx.

Bing Miller then slashed a grounder to Frisch. Simmons was retired at second and it looked as if Miller was doubled at first at least half a stride. The crowd howled at what everyone thought was a double play, retiring the side, but Umpire McGowan called Miller eafe. Grimes knew how little ammunition he had left with which to hold the fort. He had fired his last shell and the old rifle was empty.

JOINS IN PROTEST Soon he hurled his glove against the ground and rushed over with other Cardinals to file a violent protest After all, you can't hunt elephants with an empty gun, and no one knew that better than Grimes. Dykes walked and Williams beat cut an infield hit. The bases were now full as Doc Cramer came up to bat for Walberg, who had followed Earnshaw in the eighth. Cramer's single drove Miller and Dyke across the plate and at this moment a one-sided battle had suddenly turned Into a fight. HALLAHAN TO RESCUE That rap of Cramer's went tralght through Grimes's heart.

In the third quarter Mohler reeled off the longest run of the day, a mad dash of 63 yards, during which it appeared that he was to be stopped no less than three times. When Orv eluded all these tackier and wound up behind the Cougar goal line for his third touchdown of the afternoon Coach Babe Hollingbery was on the point of sending for the Northwest mounted police.

'as Rain Drenches Field Wildcats Almost Crash Ball Across Twice BY PAUL MICKELSON SOLDIER FIELD (ChlcagoKOct. 10. (f) Rain, mud and a grt-t Northwestern team conspired to-stop Notre Dame's famous victory march of football at twenty straight "eon-quests before an excited throng of 75,000 spectators at Soldier Field todays'. The "Fighting Irish," carrying on for their departed Knute Rockne, weren't beaten in their valiant bid to MARCHY I Schwartz1 establish a new winning streak but were held to a scoreless tie, a result which 'was almost as precious to the white-shirtcd giants from Northwestern. Of the two teams, evenly matched In all departments, but stopped by the almost constant deluge which churned the bat-tlefleld into a veritable quag-; mire, It was Northwestern which came the closer to victory hot Notre Dame.

Twice, the Wild-' eats marched, on the break of fumbles, to within the shadows the Notre Dame goal line, only to be turned back. Once -the Wildcats hammered through -to the Notre Dame 4-yard line only to miss their first down by the heart-breaking margin of one foot A few minutes later, in the same second period, they rushed to the 5-yard stripe, only to see their golden opportunity float away on an incompleted pass over the goal line. The Northwestern 20-yard line was the limit of the Notre Dame football travels today. Three times the "Fighting Irish" got to-that point once when Hoffman smashed through to block OUle Olson's kick; again when the Irish clicked off a pretty lateral offense with Mike Ko-ken and Big George Mellnkovich, substitute backs, doing the carrying. and again when Olson's punt popped up in the air and landed dead on his own 20-yard marker.

But they could budge the Wildcat line no farther. Nineteen fumbles marred the game and gave the two teams chances during the frenzied battle for that precious touch- down, but the punting duel be- (Continued on Page 4.

First one and then the other took turns ripping through Yale's uncertain defense. The victors chalked up thirteen downs, compared to four for Yale. The southern team, however, did not succeed in completely throttling little Alble Booth who comprises a vast majority of Yale's football strength.

It was a crashing, stunning opet, a complete reversal of all dope and advance predictions. Once more had the canny Dr. Clarence W. Spears slipped something across on his old coaching rival from the Big Ten, Jimmy Phelan.

On the wings of a left-handed forward pass, a 21 -yard heave by Don Watts, Oregon's southpaw halfback, rode the first touchdown of the Oregon triumph. It was a pass made with astonishing, almost taunting, deliberateness.

Watkins and Gill, alternately, pounded their way to the Club 1-yard line, where California lost the ball on downs. For three-quarters the Bears staged a heroic defensive game to finally overcome the tiring Olympians when the fourth quarter opportunity came to them.

By virtue of George Walking's strong punting toe- and the swift running of Klrwan the Bears stayed out in front through the first quarter.

The spectac ular running and passing of Johnny Branch, Tar Heel triple-threat ace, was lost in the failure of the North Caro lina offense within scoring distance. The two teams battled evenly under a hot sun for the dura-, tion of the first half, with neither team offering anything serious in the way of scoring threats. But a 'gator fumble in the third period placed the bail in North Carolina's possession deep in Florida territory.

The Tar Heels advanced it to within a foot of tt goal, but the Florida line arched its back and threw: back the charge. Again in the fourth quarter the Tar Heels, by virtue of a pass by Branches and ihrcsts, took the ball to the Florida 5-yard stripe, but the line held once more.
