But the Wolverines had no passers to match Lindberg and Jack Beynon, the latter rated the best In the Western Conference. But Zuppke, the cagy and likeable Dutchman, knew that Michigan would watch Beynon. Accordingly Lindberg shared the passing duties with the Illini ace. It was a smart move and aided greatly In the Illinois touchdown march which started from Illinois territory and moved steadily forward against a hard fighting Michigan team that battled for every yard. Lindberg was a threat to Michigan from a Zuppke punt formation.

From it he ran, passed and kicked. He Gambit and Wins The Wolverine defense kept the Illini bottled up in their own territory throughout most of the first quarter. But Lindberg changed he situation late in the second quarter when he threw a 17-yard toss to Beynon from deep to. his own territory. It was not sound football, and Quarterback Beynon was gambling.

But it was the only kind of football that would work against a Michigan Una that was charging hard on defense and tackling very well. Beynon was downed on the Illi nois 47-yard Una after ha caught the ball. He was hit hard by several Michigan tacklers.

At this point Michigan made its greatest defensive stand.

Portman, Lindberg and Theodore, all capable runners, and directed by one of the smartest pilots in the Conference, hurled themselves at tha Michigan guards, centers, tackles and ends. A great, fighting Illinois line desperately attempted to uproot Kipke's forward wall. Beynon called his best scoring plays, finally eking out a first down only by a few Inches. Lindberg, on first down from the three-yard line, smashed at Vier-gevcr. The latter yielded only a foot.
