Minneapolis, Nov. 17. Minnesota celebrated cominir day with a S3 to victory over Chicago, which eliminated the Maroons from the Biff Ten conference championship race. The Minnesota "surprise team," rtHng by defeat at the hands of Wisconsin, staged thpir coneback with a vim that completely bewildered Coach Stage's warriors and kept them on the defensive Using intricate shifts and fake formations, the Gophers battered gapn in the opposing: line and shot throush Lampi, Arnston and Carroll for consistent gains. Chicago, on the other hand, was never able to break through the Gopher barrier fov material gains and for the most part Maroons' plays were muddled before" they were well under way.

Benjamin Jacobs of the department of agriculture's bureau of chemistry, who has been making tests and Investigating the cost of ingredients and labor and other factors in the baking Industry, has submitted his report to Food Administrator Hoover. While eventually the bakers will be brought under a federal licensing eys-tem. there Is no likelihood of such action by November 1, when the licensing feature of the food law will be extended to some lines of industry.

-Pennsylvania gave Michigan a big surprise today and defeated the Western football eleven 16 to O. It was a hard, bitterly fought game in which good and bad football were mixed by both sides. The defeat was Michigan's first this year, she having won all eight games previously played, and was a great disappointment to her followers. They felt confident of victory particularly after Hichigan'a one-sided score against Cornell. Fullback Howard Berry, the college Pentathlon champion, was easily the hero of the gaihe.

He scored ten of Pennsylvania's points, outpunted Michigan's kicker and was in the thick of nearly all plays. He made three field goals in five attempts and also kicked a goal from touchdown. He was also a marvel in running with the ball. Pennsylvania's goal at no time was seriously in danger. In the first two periods the teams were almost evenly matched, what advantage there was being with Pennsylvania who showed a better offensive.

During the second period Halfback Straus of Pennsylvania, and Quarterback Weston of Michigan got into a fight and both were banished from the game. This was -a serious loss for each team, and Michigan followers pointed to the fact that after, their quarterback's retirement the team did not play with sustained power. Genebach succeeded Weston and grinding drive that netted two touchdowns and swept almost at will through the Kansas line. With the collapse of the line. the Kansas backs lost their ability to dash through for good gains and tried the Ohio scoring, coming only after strong resistance by the Illinois claimants, was represented by two goals from placement, booted between the uprights by Harley, Ohio's All-American backfield man, and H.

G. Courtneys touchdown in the last period, made on a forward pass from Harley. Harley also kicked goal from the touchdown. Contrary to predictions, both teams used straight football in the main. The only variation came in the last period, when forward passes gained considerable ground for each.

It was a battle' of no mean proportions from the start, with Illinois, however, failing to threaten seriously the Ohio goal. On two occasions they came within striking distance but place kicks by Ingwerson and Sternamaa failed, and their chance was lost. Ohio's offensive centered largely around Harley. Although, he did not gain consistently when carrying the ball, he was concerned in almost, every play and out-kicked Charpier on their exchanges of punts. Boesel proved the best ground gainer for the champions, running more were successful and netted a total of 48 yard3.

At the very outset the Maroons were forced to punt and Minnesota then marched steadily 65 yards for the first touchdown. Obtaining the ball a few moments later, the Gophers again advanced it to the one-yard mark, but the Maroon line stiffened admirably and prevented the threat president will be required to extend ened score.

The Nebras-kans were prepared to meet this, however, and not one of the nine forward passes attempted by Kansas was completed. The manner in which the Kansas line repelled assaults and Kansas backs found boles for good gains was the surprise of the game, which had been all but conceded to the Nebraskans.

In the first half Kansas gained 89 yards to Jvebraskas 62 yards and made four first downs to Nebraska's three. The tide was turned when Cook of Nebraska got away in a stiff-arming 35-yard dash that gave the Lincoln eleven its first touchdown. Hubka of Nebraska- and Schellenberge of the same team were also able to produce good' gains when called upon. Foster of Kansas outpunted his rival, Dobson, and Ruble attracted attention by his ability to carry the ball. The lineup: Nebraska, 13.
