Only a miracle would give the Badgers a chance to prevail by upsetting Michigan here next Saturday and continuing hi the final game of the season against Minnesota at Minneapolis. If both these dreams come true, the Badgers will sing California, Here We Come two weeks hence. The weather was on the chilly side with a strong breeze whipping occasional fluries of snow.

i i i Next Weeks Games Michigan at Wisconsin Illinois at Ohio State Minnesota at Iowa 1 Notre Dame at Northwestern Pittsburgh at Purdue Marquette at Indiana All the men of Michigan are mighty men even down to to the substitutes runs an old Wolverine song, and it must have been true Saturday when the Wolves routed In diana 35 to 0. That should put the Quietus on any Badger enthusiasm regarding next Saturdays game here. Mich igan isnt unbeatable, but the Wolves have a great team or teams and only a miracle can beat Fritz Crislers deceptive team, blessed as it is with extreme speed. Well be pulling for a Badger triumph, but the Badgers will have to play bet ter ball than against Iowa and Indiana. One of the most pleasing features of the win over Iowa, was (he brilliant manner In which Joe Kelly substituted for Bob Wilson, when the latter was hurt.

Kelly performed in an inspired manner, and his defensive play was such that he won the third string pivot job. Henry Olshanski was deprived of a touchdown when the pass play from Girard to Henry was nullified when the Badgers were penalized for holding, but Olshanski scored in the third period on a pass from Wink. Some Jaunts! Earl Jug for Juggernaut Girard, is shown starting his 63-yard dash for Wisconsins first touchdown against Iowa at Camp Randall stadium Saturday with Bob Wilson doing the convoying at this stage. No Iowa tackier so much as got a hand on Girard as he wended his way to the sidelines and jack-rabbited all the way. (Capital Times staff photo.)

The shadow of Michigans eleven hung over the dressing room and the players realized they would have to be supermen to turn back the Wolverines. Stranger things have happened, but not often. Weve an outside chance next Saturday and with a little improvement over the game against the Hawkeyes, it wouldnt be impossible to beat Michigan. Johnny ODonnell, popular college boxing referee, covered the game for his paper, the Davenport Times. John suffered agonies as (he speedy, hard driving Badgers made mincemeat of the Hawkeyes.

THERE WAS no question of the outcome of the Homecoming game Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall before 45,000 wild-eyed fans. Wisconsin struck early with Earl Jug Girards two touchdown jaunts, one of 63 yards, the other of 85 yards on punt returns in a game breaking spree. Both came in the first quarter, and to make it more impressive Girard almost was away on Jim Smith's punt in the third period, but he was downed after a 16 yard return. It was Girards running, passing and punting that broke the Hawkeyes back and allowed the Badgers to score the most points in a single game in the history of the series dating back to 1894 when the Badgers triumphed 44 to 0. But it was a team victory with every one of the 50 Wisconsin players contributing to the slaughter.

The blocking of the Badger team was terrific and made possible the long runs of Girard, Earl Maves. Clarence Self, Ben Bcndrick and Gene Evans. I think Wisconsin could have beaten any team in the country just about the way they played today, said Coach Eddie Anderson of the Hawkeyes at the conclusion of tht game. We had too much speed for em and we figured a fast rush would be the only way to stop the Iowa attack: our boys did a great job, said Coach Harry A. Stuhl-dreher of Wisconsin.

MINNESOTAS defeat of Purdue in the last quarter Saturday, eliminated the Boilermakers in the quest of a Rose Bowl bid as Purdue has lost two games, one to Wisconsin and the other to the Gophers. Michigan has won four straight, while the Badgers have won three and tied one. A Wisconsin win here next Saturday would give the Badgers the Western Conference race lead and if Stuhldre-tier's boys can turn back Minnesota in the season's finale the Badgers would be due for the Rose ANN ARBOR, Mich.

Coach Wesley Feslers battling Ohio State Bucks defeated Northwestern 7 to 6 Saturday in a Western Conference fray by scoring a touchdown and an extra point fully three minutes after the final shot had sounded.

It was a fight to escape the cellar position in the Big Nine, but for star spangled drama and thrills no national championship contest could have matched it. A crowd of 70,203 watched. All the action was packed in the closing quarter after the two lowly-rated squads had battled score-lessly through three sessions featured by three stalwart goal line stands by the Wildcats.

Some 45,000 spectators saw Self and his fellow backs show blistering speed and exceptional team blocking In chalking up the third Western Conference triumph Emlen Tunnell missed his tackle at Self and Tom Bennett kept the other Iowa gridder from getting too close to the flying Wisconsin right halfback.

(Capital Times staff photo.) unbeaten football powerhouse picked up scoring steam on a field swept by intermittent snow flurries Saturday, flattening Indiana 35 to 0 to take another important stride toward the Big Nine championship and a New Years day Rose Bowl date. A capacity crowd of 85,938 fans watched. The first three times Michigan got possession of the ball the Wolverines ran and passed their way to touchdowns on sustained drives of 73, 59 and 66 yards. The defeat was doubly costly for the Hoosiers, who lost their allround offensive star, George Taliaferro, in the second period with a shoulder injury and possible rib fracture. BOB CHAPPUIS, Michig a ns brilliant halfback best known as a passer, took a leading role in both the Wolverines air and ground attack, sparking Michigan to 248 yards running and another 113 yards by passing.

Its a good bet that the average fan wont be able to follow the Wolve ball carrier half the time. Perhaps the line backing of the two Bobs, Wilson and Weiske may be able to halt Michigans spin plays. The Badgers are brilliant on defense and Wilson does a sensational job on offense. While the Wisconsin-Micliig a game is all important and the game is on everyones tongue.

Bye thrilled a homecoming crowd of 63,659 fans with a 60-yard fourth period touchdown gallop to bring the Gophers from behind for the triumph.

Farrar missed another placement try this one for a field With only a minute or two left, the Bucks started to move, after taking a punt on their own 38. Pandel Savic hit Bob Demmel with a 15-yard pass, and followed with a 28-yarder on which End Fred Morrison made a great catch on the 10. Four plays brought the Bucks to the one, where the Wildcast took over in their fourth gallant goal line stand. Then came the drama.

With a minute and 47 seconds remaining, the Cats tried to freeze the ball. Finally Northwestern had to kick, with 13 second remaining. DEMMELL TOOK the punt in midfield and raced back to the 35. Savie hit Demmel with a pass good for 24 yards, reaching the 11. There were 13 seconds left.

Savic passed and Day intercepted for the Wildcats, but Northwestern had 12 men on the field and Ohio was allowed another play as the penalty gave it the ball on the six. The Cats piled up a line play as the time ran out. The bands pa-rader on the field, but the officials ruled the visitors were offside, and Ohio had one more chance. Savic used it to pass perfectly into the end zone to Halfback Jimmy Clark for the touchdown. Emil Moldea came in to kick the extra point, but his attempt was blocked and the score was 6-6.

Again officials had to clear the field of bands and cheering spectators, on a ruling that Northwestern was offside on the point attempt. and Ohio was given another Dave Schreiner Memorial Established hy His Fa ther Herbert E.
