GOULD (Associated Press Sports Writer) ARBOR, Michigan's dream of a football empire for 1933 was jolted yesterday as the Wolverines were held to a scoreless tie by Minnesota in a desperately fought football duel, waged on a slippery gridiron before 65,000 roaring spectators. Unbeaten since 1931 in 16 previous games, Michigan was outplayed by the rampaging Gophers and lucky to escape defeat in one of the biggest upsets of the college season.

The tie automatically knocked the Wolverines out of the race for national championship honors, as the list of unbeaten and untied teams was further curtailed, but they remained in the running for the Big Ten championship, nevertheless, with only Northwestern left to play. Gophers Have Edge Yesterday's battle sustained the tradition of hard fought rivalry between Michigan and Minnesota. What little there was to choose hardcharging struggle between great "two lines favored the Gophers as, with one exception, the offensive efforts of both teams were kept between the opposing 30 yard lines. In Francis "Pug" Lund. rugged halfback, Minnesota exhibited the most elusive and hard-hitting balllugger of the afternoon on a cold.

slippery field. The Gophers also closest to breaking the deadlock when Bill Bevan, big guard, missed an attempted field goal from Michigan's 24 yard line in the last five minutes of the game. The failure of this placement attempt was the climax of the game's only attacking thrill and Minnesota's biggest bid for a victory over Michigan that the Gophers have now been seeking in vain for five years. It followed the interception of a Michigan pass at midfield by Roy Oen, Gopher captain, and a series of snail dashes by Pug Lund. Renner Halts Advance Reeling successive advances of 12, 9 and 15 yards as he whirled and plunged, shedding tacklers like a duck sheds water, Lund appeared personally capable of lugging the ball across the Michigan goal until he was brought down on his last dash on Michigan's 15.

At this juncture, however, a typical bit of smart Wolverine defensive work was executed by Bill Renner, quarterback, who dashed in to nail Alfonse for a seven yard loss and abruptly check the Gopher drive. The huge stands reverberated with the roar of the crowd as Michigan made its last stand, then became tense with silence as Bevan dropped back for the attempt at a field goal on fourth down. He got the ball away successfully and with plenty altitude, but it sliced to the left of the uprights and bounded harmlessly back of the end zone. Lund was without doubt the outstanding star of the game and the hero of Minnesota's "moral victory" over a team that had been stopped since losing to Ohio State two years ago and which was an outstanding favorite to finish the 1933 season with a spotless record. Lund, in fact, outgained the entire Michigan offense by collecting 102 of the 153 yards Minnesota gained from scrimmage as compared with the total of only 72 yards advanced by the Wolverines.

PRICE FIVE CENTS 6 to 0 0-0 Tie Team Smith Runs Central And West Place 2 Men Each Bob Fleming Ready for Critical Assault From All By BOB FLEMING THE CAPITAL TIMES presents its 1933 all-city high school football team! The season was completed yesterday; uniforms will now be stowed away until next September; athletes will rest or turn to other sports. And at the end of the gridiron parade, taking an attitude of bravado that has grown through several years of criticism of other selections, comes the honorary team. Never has there been a selection that has not drawn a large amount of criticism. Persons who see 8 few games note the stars of them and believe them deserving of honors. School patriotism and loyalty to personal friends motivates other critics.

But as the parade goes by, and the season ends, there comes the annual selection. Five East Men Chosen Out of a mass of advice and knowledge gleaned from watching Madison high school elevens and talking to coaches, rival players close followers comes the list that gives five of the 11 places to Madison East. Two West gridders and a similar pair from Central are combined with single individuals from Edgewood and Wisconsin High to complete the aggregation. East's team, it is safe to say, was Madison's best team of the season. Central's victory over the Purgolds in the finale on Armistice day was a surprise, even though the Orange and Black team deserved its victory for playing better ball that day.

But for the entire season, East led the local elevens. The others cannot be rated very well, although Central stands out from the remaining quartet. West, hampered throughout the season 1 by injuries, Wisconsin High and Edgewood, offer no basis for ranking them comparatively. East Deserves to Dominate wingmathe detaiis of selection: Mergen Is Chosen Center It just that East should dominate appears. team, and by taking half of the positions, the team nearly coached by A.

J. Barrett does just that. Mike Koskey placed two backs Central team, and Willis from his Jones two West linemen. A member of Earl Wilkie's Edgewood team completes the backfield, and a Wisconsin High lineman is Russ Rippe's contribution. A nearer approach to equality is reached when the second selection is also considered in a review of representation.

With Central having three of the other local elevens two men on the second team, placing the total for the 22 men on the squad East 7, Centrai 5, West 4, Wisconis sin High, 3, and Edgewood 3. Only one member of last year's team is again named. Captain Bid Smith of Central who was honored last year retains his position as quarterback. A in this year's team is actually novel, elementre four ends on the first team; perhaps it might be more correct to say two ends and two ex-ends. For in addition to Don Marshall and Gene Murphy, who hold down the places, Mitchell, Central fullback, started the season as an end, and Ray Cook, West guard, gained honorable mention on last year's team as a Greg Mergen draws the center powithout much argument.

Don sition Viereg of West would have given him real battle for the place had he a lasted out the season, but a broken Viereg out of the last four arm kept of the season and Mergen's fine games play throughout the entire year makes os him more deserving. OffenseMergen's passing was fine and ively, he carried out his other duties well. And on defense was able to drive through time and again to fill gaps in East's line or to penetrate opposing walls to bring down opposing ball carriers. Art Peterson, who was placed on the second all-city team last year, rises to the first eleven for his brilliant leadership of Wisconsin High during the past season. He was equally capable as a guard or a tackle, did his best work at the former place, at which he worked all last season.

Peterson was a bulwark on defense and pulled out of the line time and again to lead Badger Prep interference when Wisconsin High was seeking to advance the ball.

(AP) -Illinois needed all its traditional "fight" yesterday to earn a 7 to 0 victory over an inspired University of Chicago team. The Illini, heavily favored in advance, were forced to battle their hardest for the only touchdown they scored and then stand off a last minute drive which ended only one yard from their goal. Fifty-five yards marched the Maroons with two long, unerring passes as the final seconds ticked away but they reverted to ground plays eight yards from the goal. It was then that the Illini line, a sieve during most of the afternoon, stubbornly dug in, piled up four Chicago smashes with a total gain of seven yards and allowed Halfback Lindberg to punt out safely, clinching the victory.

witnessed a Big Ten game here since before the war, watched the struggle, came prepared to see Wisconsin take a sound trimming, but went home overjoyed as the Badgers outpayed the Buckeyes in defeat and displayed by far the best football of the season. Badger Punch Scares Ohio Wisconsin's slow moving, but potent backfield, uncovered a ground gaining punch in the third and fourth periods that had the Ohio State team scared silly, and save for too long delay on pass attempts the game might well have been a victory for Coach C. W. Spears and the Cardinal team. With Tom Fontaine, Akron, bot carrying the ball, tossing passes and about holding his own in kicking with the famed John Kabealo, and Bobby Schiller aiding and abetting his mate.

Wisconsin put on two marches deep into Ohio State territory that both bogged down on the Buckeyes 14 yard stripes, but deserved a better fate. Ohio Scores Early Ohio State scored quicker than one could wink an eye in the first period, after each team had fumbled and the opposition had recovered. In less than three minutes Fontaine was forced punt and Pincura returned the kick 15 yards to the Buckeye 43 yard line. On a double pass behind the line, Heekin gained three yards and on the same play Smith, Buckeye halfback swept wide on a reverse and scampered off right tackle for 55 yards and a touchdown. Poor tackling and fine blocking by Joe Gailus aided Smith in his scamper.

Vuchinich's try for the extra point was wide. That was the scoring portion 01 the game, but it doesn't begin to tell the story. The Badgers returned to the combat and battled furiously in the attempt to wipe out the six point margin, but fate was against them. The second and last real scoring chance of the Buckeyes came in the second period when Kabealo punted to the Wisconsin 20 yard line and after Fontaine failed to gain, Schiller fumbled and Gailus recovered for Ohio on the Badger nine yard line. Then the Badgers rose to new defensive heights.

Oliphant was thrown for a two yard loss by John Golemgeske. Smith on a reverse after a pass from Kabealo went to the Wisconsin five yard stripe. Porett came way across the secondary to make the tackle. Oliphant drove for two sards and it was fourth down and three yards to go for a touchdown Heekin drove at the Badger line, but the pile was untangled, the ball nestled two yards from goal and the Badgers immediately punted out of danger with Fontaine getting away a fine kick and Deanovich making a beautiful tackle to nail Fisch in his tracks. The Badgers were unable to get beyond their own 36 yard line in the first two periods and it was not until almost the middle of the third period that Wisconsin finally got under way.
