The Hoosiers from Indiana, aided greatly by Wolverine errors, overcame an early lead and strutted off the. soggy gridiron the victors by a margin of 14 to II.

Indiana had a right to stmt. For the winners struck out with force and precision on two occasions in the presence of 15.000 spectators who braved a rainstorm in the second half. Those two occasions brought Indiana touchdowns. The start of the game was like olden times. Full of fire and confident, Michigan pitched into the veteran Hoosiers and made 'em like it.

Halfway through the first period Chris Everhardus put Michigan out in front for the first time Gophers' Pass 1 41 4 Taken by Sebo for Only Tally Spartan Back Dashes 30 Yards After Taking Pass By Charles P. Ward riTTSliURCH, Oct. 10 State today suffered the l(t down that usually comes after i trwmrli over Michigan but had eno-ugh to conquer the scrappy Carnegie Tech eleven, 7 to 0, and maintain its unbeaten record. Although the Spartans outgained their red jerseyed foes 172 yards and made 13 first downs to their opponent's three, they were unable to push across a score until well on in the third period. Then "Ag'iny Al" Agett made the Tartan partisans moan by getting- off an 18-yaul pass to Steve Sebo, who took the hall on the Carnegie "0-vanl line "lJ galloped across the coal fur the only score of the game Pitt Stadium.

The Tartans trotted out a thin i lino o' heroes against tne hpar tans today, and although Michigan State spent most of the afternoon n.aivhinL' vro and down in Carnegie tpmlorv, the Tartans usually held grimly uhen their goal was in serious danger. llitlbcrt Stops Dash 1 The Spartans snouiu nave ben ten (he Kkibos by two touchdowns todav but they might not, hue worrd at all had it not been for Coolidge, the Michigan HeiRhts lad who spent the afternoon Irving to keep the Tartans cool ery tune they began to get hut. The Pkilws became hottest just before the Spartans put across their winning score. With the bail in State's possession on Carnegie's 42-yard line, John Pingel got away a pass that was meant tor Milton Dehnhardt, the Detroit bov who is a good enough base-bail to excite major league semis. failed to make con-iif.

for Jerry Mate Ian, Carnegie halfback leaped tiom a crowd that resembled a New Yoik subway rush and kidnaped the ball. He ran to State's in-yaid line before being driven out of bounds by Charlie Halbert. That looked like a break for the Kkibis and their rooters among the lT.if.iu fans that witnessed the ame. -t out an exultant shout. Thei'' iov turned to gloom im- however, for when the AN I TMIH.INC., BI BAIX IS UFXXARKU DKAO AM) 1100SIKHS KKTA1X TO this season when he sent home a 1 field goal fro mplacement with the ball on Michigan's 16-yard line.

That goal fired Michigan just as surely as Sweet's tying touchdown did at the half here a week ago today against State. Michigan was breezing along, biding its time and wailing to strike in favorable position on the field, when "Old Man liieak" stepped in and handed a dandy to Indiana. On the first play of the second period, young Kd Stanton was hitting away at the middle of the In diana line, gripping the ball just a mite foo loosely. Sometimes youngsters do that in their eagerness to gain yards. Well, Capt.

Dal Sasso, left tackle for Indiana, came roaring in at Ed and, like old-time tackles sometimes do, he tackled the ball. A Humiliating Touchdown It popped from Stanton's hands like a pumpkin seed. The Hoosier pilot had one big paw and then another over it like a flash and he was touchdown-bound. Thirty-six yards he dashed to a demoralizing and a humiliating touch-clown. In U6 years of grid relations, that was the second touchdown Indiana ever had scored against Michigan.

But those who thought that Michigan's youngsters would quit had plenty yet to see. Coach Kipke threw in a barrel of new men. How they diil scrap the Hoosiers. It that the title would turn Michigan. Uut another Wol-n verine error cropped up ami it was a little too much for the bovs to handle.

Checks Earlier Threat; 72,000 Present By Grantland Rice COLUMBUS, Oct. 10-Gov.

Alf M. Landon sat in tile midst of 72,000 spectators this afternoon and saw Pittsburgh's predatory Panthers take a kangaroo leap towards National honors by beating Ohio State, 6 to 0, in one of the feature battles of the year. After 50 minutes of scoreless play Harold Stebbins, a 180-pound sophomore back from Willianisport, finally turned the tide on a 35-yard sprint around Ohio's right side for the lone touchdown that sent the Panthers spinning on their way. The game ended with Pittsburgh on Ohio's four-yard line after savage-driving inarch of 44 yards that seemed certain to score again in two more plays. It was Stebbins' brilliant run that decided the battle but it was 1 4iV Purple RompS Over Bisons Heap Is Star of 40-7 Touchdown Parade CHICAGO, Oct.

The Wildcats found the Bisons slubliom during the first half, in which the victors scored but seven points, but in the third period, featured by Don Heap's 90-yard run for a touchdown on a kickoff, Northwestern piled up 27 points to put the game on ice.

Oct. 10 (U. The mighty Gophers of Minnesota stepped spectacularly over another hurdle today on their way to a third mythical national football title by defeating a stubborn band of Nebraska Cornhusk-ers, 7 to 0. More than 55,000 fans saw Coach Beinie Bierman's lads romp to their nineteenth consecutive victory tying the late Knute Rockne's record at Notre Dame. Minnesota still has another victory to go to equal Notre Damp's all-time football record of 20, however.

for the Ramhlers added then-twentieth straight triumph after Rockne untimely death. The Minnesota touchdown, but it won by the skin of its teeth. Tonight, Andy Uram, colorful Gopher halfback, is a hero in the eyes of football fans. In the last minute of piny, when all seemed hopeless, he took a backward pass from Wilkinson and twisted and squirmed his way through a broken field 79 yards to a touchdown. Wilkinson con veiled.

A iiiish Here's what happened in the story-book finish: The Gophers had been stopped within two yards of the goal late in the fourth period by a stone wall that an army couldn't have passed over. Nebraska had intercepted a third-doun forward pass for a touchback to take the ball on Its 20-yard line. Cardwell knocked off yards on the next play. The Gophers stopped the attack And Douglas, subbing for the Injured Sain Francis, star of the Nebraska offense, got off a kick to Wilkinson. He grabbed the ball on the 25-yard line, turned auick- l.V, flipped the ball to Uram.
