Hinkle smacked his well-trained right toe the ball in the fourth period as it rested in placement on the Lions' 46-yard line. Twelve thousand spectators watched its flight as it spun evenly toward the Detroit crossbar.

It went over, dead center, just a foot or two over the bar. It was a 38-yard tjoot from the line of scrimmage. But Hinkle had a lot of help in subduing the Lions. For the first time this autumn the Detroit front wall, considered the class of the league, was outcharged.

The power of the Gophers fre quently has been expressed in terms of mighty replacements. The names of Beise, Capt. Pug Lund, Kostka and Alfonse, have been in the public prints much. Pug's leadership stamps him as the greatest of them. But the Gopher power ably was directed by the Minnesota quarterbacks, Glenn Seidel and Vernal Weiland Sets Scoring During Brief Times Pass Plays Click By Jack Carveth The Detroit Red Wings played like champions on their first road trip of the season but could win only one of four games.

Last night at Olympia they did not play nearly as well yet won as they pleased from the much abused Eagles of St. Louis, 4 to 1. The easy victory removed the Wings from the company of the New York Rangers in the cellar of the American Division of the National Hockey League, and put them only two points back of the Hawks and Bruins who are tied for the lead. The Eagles debut in Detroit was not an Impressive one. Eddie Ger ard's young team, transplanted from Ottawa this year, was no match for the fleet Wings who played a lot of poor hockey but enough or the better kind to send the St.

Louis entry down to its seventh consecutive defeat and its eighth reverse of the season in nine starts. But Never Too Bad The Wings played spotty hockey after their gruelling road trip that saw them In four games on foreign Ice in eight days. They looked like the league champions they are when they bear down. On other occasions they looked badly dis- organized but never were they bad enough to give the Eagles hope of victory. The Wines' first and Becond lines of Cooney Weiland, Larry Aurie and Herole Lewis and Gordon Pettinger, Eddie Wiseman and Johnny Sorrell played right up to form for the most part.

Weiland and Pettinger were especially effective and Wcil-and's work was rewarded by two goals. Pettinger failed to break into the scoring but he aesisted in a goal scored by Wiseman early in the second period. Sorrell got the other Detroit eoal late in the first period with the assistance of Teddy Graham and George Patterson. Aurie's contribution was assists on both of Well. and tallies.

Weiland The Eagles presented three former Detroit nlavers ln Goalie Bill Beverldge, Burr Williams and Carl Voss. All three performed creditably but the Eagles, who have scored only 10 goals while having 27 scored against them, lacked punch and their team play was ragged throughout. Onlv about 5.000 spectators saw a game that was far from the fin ished article but fast and rugged for the most part.

The Wings' dc- fensemen. all four of them, were hitting the puck-carriers hard and there was plenty of stiff body- checking in mid-Ice.

I ucicnse more aiert tnan tneirs.l even with the great Earl (Dutch) Clark in the line-up, Detroit's passing attack failed behind a line that had lost its snap, snd Joe Laws, Hinkle, Arnold Herber and Hank Bruder, Packer backs of considerable power and versatility, did the rest The Packers deserved to win the game because their punting, rushing and passing was definitely superior to the Lions.

But by no means was the game dreary. It was packed with action; a battle between two lines of great strength, both of which were backed up by young men who tackled with great vehemence. In this respect particular credit must go to Bruder, the Green Bay fullback, who Bmashed into Caddel. Clark, Lumpkin, Frank Christiansen, Ace Gus-towsky and any other Lion back with a fury that was commendable. He was a worthy tackier.

Herber Outpasses Clark Herber was the best passer on the gridiron despite the presence of Clark. Dutch was a constant threat after he was put into the game late in the second period, and made a gallant effort to tie and win the ball game, but he came off the field for the first time in many, many games second best. Herber was his master Sunday. It was this same Hinkle who put the Lions in hot water starting the second half whon he ran back the kickoff 35 yards to the Detroit 46, Randolph pushing him out of bounds. The Packers moved the ball to the 39-yard line from where Hinkle tried to kick from place- ment.

But Capt. George Christiansen charged in and blocked it, Harry Ending recovering on the Lion 42-yard mark. Caddel swept around end for 18 yards. Frank Christiansen advanced to the Packer 35 unit nn fourth down Dutch K-iW missed a drop- Hinkle kick. The Lions were in favorable position but it was offset when Binder's annoying habit of quick-kicking caught Dutch off balance and the Detroiters were back ln warm water again.

But not for long. Dutch, Ernie and Frank thrilled the spectators with a drive right back to the Packer 35. But another dropkick went wide. The complexion of the game changed rapidly and a few minutes later the Packers had scored three points. Lion blockers, passes and power plays were bottled up almost completely In the first half by a Packer team which took command of the game at the outset.

Lewis and Hinkle, Herber and Bruder ripped at the right side of the Lion line. It yielded and the Packers drove their way to the Detroit 18-yard line on a pass in Pop Lumpkin's territory, This early In the game It was noticeable that the Lions were a confident group. They surged in charging rurlouHiy, and forced a place kick by Hinkle which failed. Presnell, who started at quarter back, did not get his hands on a punt during the time he was in the game.

W. Edgar- THEY said that professional football never would produce the same spirit that prevails in the college game. They said tnat tne spectators rover would thrill to the pro came as they do to the battles ol the undergraduates In our universities. They said that pro football jlways would be drab compared to the colorful, pulse-quickening struggles staged each week by the college teams for the honor and glory of their Alma Maters. Well, a lot of these things they said proved to be wrong yesterday afternoon in the University of Detroit Stadium when iii.no encountered their first defeat of the season a reverse that snapped a winning streak of 10 consecutive games snd dropped them from a deadlock for top place In the pro league.

football games played anywhere along the battlefront this year will produce more thrills than the losing battle the Lions waged against the powerful Packers from Green Bay. From the opening kick-off to the final gun, the game was a struggle that Involved vicious tackling, fast charging, and blocking of the type seldom leen in a college game. Spirit! It was there In abundance as the players charged up and down the field In a valiant attempt to advance the ball or haul down a rival runner. For the first time this season the Lions were forced to trail on their home grounds. In other games they scored almost at will and the fans had cause to wonder what would happen if they really were hard pressed.

Thev found out yesterday and the Lions proved to more ban 12000 spectators that there is spirit in pro football. HERE was a team that and known nothing but victory now faced with defeat after the second play In the fi nal period when Clarke Hinkle of Green Bay, kicked a perfect placement goal. The minutes fast were slipping away, but the Lions never showed more spirit than they did in the attempt to pull out a victory. It was their answer to the charge that the pro game never could produce the same known to the college teams. i 1 In There was no Alma Mater to fight for yesterday afternoon.

There was no background teeped in tradition. It was Just a hard battle In which one of the teams was trying to retain its unbeaten record and remain in the running for a championship. But it was a spirited struggle that would have done Justice to any college rivalry. And the spirit was not confined to the players alone. soon was communicated to me packed stands.

With the same plea "we want a touchdown that rents the atmosphere In the college stadia, the spectators stood up and shouted as the Lions battled against a foe they could not subdue. THE game had Us share of pulse quickening moments, too. They came when Glenn Presnell attempted to duplicate his feat of earlier in the season by place kicking his team to victory. He had booted a 4-yard field goal to beat tne Packers in their first meeting. When he dropped back to try ii gain yesterday, the stands rose as one to yell while the bail travelled toward the uprights.

And there was a massed moan when it fell short. Several others came when "Dutch" Clark attempted drop kicks from various distances. But the big moment, and the fine that rivalled a scene in any college stadium, came late in the fourth period when the Lions attempted a scoring pass. It was an intricate formation, known as the Lions' "touchdown play." It never had failed to produce six points in any Same this season. When Ernie Caddcl let go a long pass to John Schneller, a rangy end, far "own the field the fans were lifted right out of their seats.

HERE it was, the play that would turn the tide of battle. The 12,000 spectators be jame a howling mob of frenzied football fans. And whe Schnel-er missed the ball, snulfing out Jne Lions' brightest hope of viewy, the failure left the spectators like so many old grads "ho has just seen their Alma fter lose to its most traditional rival.

He knew he didn have the right kind of tackles to pinch in the sweeping Buckeyes. He didn't.

And neither did the Hoosiers, the Wildcats, the Maroons or the Wolverines. The 1934 Big Ten campaign probably will be marked as the year things began to happen at the Buckeye camp. Main St. there is delighted with Francis W. Schmidt and the way his team wins football games.

It probably Is a very good thing for Francis that his versatile eleven lost one game to Illinois, 13 to 14. For had Francis, fresh from Texas, tied the Gophers for the Conference title during his first year in the toughest league In America, he would have been No. 1 target for many years to come. But even so the battle cry of the Big Ten best had be "Point for the Buckeyes ln 1935!" For they appear to be gaining momentum. The team is least hampered of any Conference eleven by graduation.

The high school and the prep lads who were wont to wander from their native state to Purdue, Notre Dame, Illinois, Northwestern and particularly Michigan, have been pleased to stay rlgnt at home this autumn. In fact the youngsters in the Buckeye state are hammering at the gates of the home university lured by Schmidt's tactics of free and full use of sophomores and frequent replacements even when losing to the Illini. aj aj iiT WANT a sophomore, a Junior and a senior for every position on the team," shouts Francis. And the rugged youngsters of Ohio are making a bee-line for the genial boss of the Buckeyes. An enthused Ohio alumni body is going to see that the stream of youngsters con tinues.

Any coach in football will declare that here is the foundation for championship football teams. It Is the Ohio alumni Intention that every high school football player of merit in the Midwest shall hear of the merits of the Buckeye institution its education facilities and its football team. Such enthusiasm, perfectly ln keeping with Western Conference rules, is almost certain to stir up the alumni of other universities. But the Buckeyes are a Jump ahead of the rest or the Big Ten, and as a result will be mighty tough in 1935 on paper superior to Minnesota. The 1934 season marked the debut of Dr.

Walter Meanwell at Wis- Please Turn to Page 15 Column 4 THE STORT of the 193 West-' ern Conference football season la the story of the power of the Gophers; the Intricate lateral passes and diversified offense of Ohio; It's the story of a season which produced many great halfbacks, several guards, and end or two and a lack of outstanding tackles. The Big Ten teams produced some startling upsets. Illinois, after measuring the Buckeyes, was toppled by the Badger band from Wisconsin. The Hoosiers turned back the Boilermakers of Purdue in an even more convincing fashion It was an autumn of high scoring. Was ail this free scoring caused by a new era in offense? The answer to that definitely is "No" according to several Big Ten coaches, who declare that the half backs of the Western Conference have run wild this fall because there are no big, rugged, shifty, elusive tackles to stop em.

Minnesota crushed Iowa, 48 to 12: ran wild against Michigan 34 to pounded out a 35 to 7 decision over Chicago and trampled Wisconsin 34 to 0. Chicago pounced on Michigan, chalking up a 27 to 0 victory. It was three touchdowns better than Indiana, The Buckeyes, of Ohio, romped over Indiana, 33 to beat North western, 28 to bewildered Chi cago, 33 to whipped Michigan most soundly, 34 to 0, and wound up the season by stampeding Iowa, 40 to 7. A STUDY of the tackle situations at those institutions which have been stampeded, trounced and whipped by overwhelming scores reveals the cause immediately. There are no outstand ing tackles at those schools.

When a good tackle fomes to school the coach sees a title ahead. When a pair of them appears, he has every right to look forward to Na tional recognition. The best tackles in the Big Ten are at Minnesota and Ohio State, of course. But the Gophers have more good tackles. Therefore, Min nesota is at the top of the foot ball heap.

Big Ed Wldseth, Phil Bcngston and Jack Smith, of Min nesota, probably have the edge on Hamrich and Haare, of the Buckeyes, and Galbreath, of Illinois. The Big Ten generally produces a good crop of expert ends. They were not so plentiful this fall. The best ends to play against Michigan were Bob Tenner and Frank Larson, of Minnesota, Stanley Haukedahl, of Wisconsin, and perhaps Cummings, of Illinois. Merle Wendt, of Ohio, was capable, and Willis Ward, the Wolverine, also is but Marquette did not go all the way in the matter of "breaks." The Hilltoppers did not present Detroit with any scoring chances.

Detroit made its own and cashed in on Its own. Had Detroit committed any of the errors which marked its eariler play It could have lost to Marquette just as it did to Michigan State or the Oklahoma Aggies. But the Detroit team that forced Marquette played confident, smart football. It was a 50-yard quick kick by Doug Nott, playing one of his most brilliant games, that caught Marquette unaware and put Detroit on the road to its first touchdown. Pegan's 22-yard run back of Bui-vid's resulting kick from behind his goal line was the next step and the drive continued until Wiec-zorak smashed over for the score.

There was nothing flukey about Detroit's second touchdown, either. Every inch of that 65-yard march was well-earned by Nott and his matei and th short forward pass LeVoir. The punch In the Gopher runners, aided by 1934 Minnesota blocking, made most points at which the Minnesota pilots directed their attack appear weak. But this autumn the Minnesota generalship was excellent. It added much momentum to the "Manglera." OSSIE SOLEM, the Iowa coach, scouted the Buckeye-Michigan game.

After he had seen Ohio's smart laterals and forwards and ter breaking Into the all-star picture for the first time in years, landed two places each, with Illinois and Purdue dividing the other two positions. Michigan missed for the first time in many seasons, but is represented on the second team. Wisconsin and Northwestern stars won second team berths, leaving only Indiana and Iowa unrepresented on the two elevens. There were no unanimous selections and the balloting for back-feld positions was so spread around among an unusual crop of stars, that Lund, All-America and All-Big Ten halfback last year, was pressed to win. the fullback job from his sensational plunging teammate, Stanislaus Kostka, and Dick Crayne, of Iowa.

On the basis of two points for a first team vote and one for second team ranking, Bevan led with 16 points. Larson and Jack Beynon, Illinois' brilliant quarterback, collected 15 each. Lund who ran we3 behind Duane Purvis, of Purdue, and Jay Berwanger, of Chicago, ln the balloting for halfback jobs, was tied with Kostka in the fullback voting, but won the honor by vir tue of one more first team selec tion.

Lutz stayed behind the line of scrimmage, 13 yards from the goal line, and gave the opposing end a slight check as two Titan backs crashed the Marquette line.

After Quarterback Kinsey Jones had faked passes to each, all but one of the Marquette backs ran up into the line to stop those plungers. They saw no receiver crossing the line but as they came up Lutz dashed over Into the corner of the field four yards from the goal and took the forward pass from Jones that meant victory. Marquette could make no sustained marches.
