but failing: to come close to the final mark. It was a tired and weary Auburn team, playing its final game in a long season of defeats marked only by victories over Oglethorpe and Georgia Tech. But it played with the traditional fight and gallantry of an Auburn team. And this is no idle tribute to a defeated team. Auburn teams always die with their boots on.

Auburn really outplayed Georgia in the first 10 minutes today. It was a break in the 'hick which gave the Tlainsmen thijir chance but they took it and for 10 minutes held the feet of the Georgians to a very hot fire. FUMBLES FAIR CATCH.

Eighty-one thousand people saw Notre Dame leave the turf and go into the air at Yankee stadium this afternoon and so beat Army, 12 to 6. These 81,000 people, who packed and jammed the vast arena, got their big thrill from two tremendous heaves by Bill Shakespeare and Andy Pilney that carried the ball 86 yards over all to provide the winning margin in one of the fastest and best of all the Army-Notre Dame wars. The Army's lone touchdown came on a pass from Buckler to Shuler, leaving the battle tied in a hard knot until Pilney, of Notre Dame, "broke the deadlock late in the fourth period on two passes to Hanley. Notre Dame's first thrust was one of the most spectacular efforts of the season. Her fast, big backs had been cut down and thrown for big losses at the running game by a savaze Armv defense.

By Paul Mickelson. MADISON. Nov. 24. UP) The final brilliant chapter of Minnesota's engrossing gridiron saga was written in big letters over the soggy greensward of Camp Randall stadium today as the Gophers rode rough shod to a 34-0 triumph over Wisconsin to win their first undisputed Big Ten title since 1011.

Hailed by the last majority of critics as mythical national champions on the strength of a power house attack that rolled up 270 points to only by the opposition in eight games, the Gophers' fond dream of a clear triumph to the Big Ten crown was realized today as Indiana defeated Purdue. 17-6. in one of the most astonishing upsets of a football season. Today's game was just another rout for the powerful horde from the north-land. The Gophers rushed over two quick touchdowns 'n the first period, smashed and pounded the outclassed Badgers dizr.y in the next two, and ow To Live!
