Gembis' Kick for Extra Point Determines Result as Pharmer Failed on His Try After Second Period Touchdown by Riebeth. BT HARRY BULLION.

EM INNEAPOLIS, Nov. 16. Michigan arose to new football heights this afternoon to edge out victory over a hard-fighting, stubborn Minnesota eleven before a homecoming throng of nearly 60,000 people. It was only the slender margin of one point that measured the merits of the Maize and Blue's superiority over the Maroon and Gold, but that single counter, a kick after touchdown by the educated toe of Joe Gembis, hurled the Wolverines to victory and the Gophers to defeat, 7 to 6. Tonight the little "brown jug" Is on Its way back to Ann Arbor, tenderly cared for by a self-appointed guard of Michigan students whose sturdy classmates fought so valiantly and succesatelly for possession of it this afternoon.

Michigan earned her triumph In a way that few Michigan teams have been compelled to before in the face of a courageous stand and against a hard driv-. of men who carried, it seemed, their tactics of the Iowa game I'n'n Dip one of today.

BIG TEN TITLE Harmeson's Tosses of 25 and 17 Yards to Woerner, the Last One Over the Goal Line, Result in Touchdown That Beats Iowa, 7 to 0.

Lafayette, Nov. 16. (A. A long forward pass that sailed through the air, straight as a shot, behind Iowa's goal line gave old Purdue, the only undefeated eleven In the western conference, a brilliant 7 to 0 victory over the Hawkeyes today. Purdue, undefeated In six games, four of them In conference competition, conquered the Hawkeyes with two amazing aerial shots after the powerful Iowa line had refused to yield to the smashes of the Boilermakers' great backfleld trio Pest Welch, Harmeson and the battering ram, Yunevich.

Purdue cut loose with its winning aerial stroke early In the second period, with Glenn Harmeson, sensational halfback, tossing the passes that moved the Boilermakers within one step of their first championship since the Big Ten was formed 32 years ago. They need now only to conquer Indiana a week hence to. become undisputed title holders, victorious in every contest. HARVARD WINS IN HARD GAME Passes, After Barren First Period, Crumple Spartans in Second. STATE'S PUNCH FAILS Detroit Hold Rivals at Goal Line Fumble, Intercepted Pass Add to Score.

BY V. W. EDGAR. EAST LANSrNG, Nov. IS The Spartans closed their football season in defeat here this afernoon.

The booming of the Titan guns, resounding like thunder across th campus, was a doleful dirge for the best team that Michigan Statu has boasted in a decade, for when the firing ceased, University of Detroit had conquered its rival, Michigan State college, 23 to 0. Playing inspired football as its' farewell, the State eleven held off the men of Dorais In the first period, but found the task too great-as the game wore on. yielding ono touchdown In the second period, wo more in the third and the final ih the closing minutes of the game. These four scores, plus the extra point after the first touchdown, measured the margin of the Titans' Jictory, but do not reveal the difference in strength of the two teams on this occasion.

It took a while for the Titans' guns to find the range, but once they got the sights, State never had much of a chance.

The first explosion came at the beginning of the second period, when the Tltann took possession of the ball on their own 2-yard line. After gaining a first down through the line, Brazil opened up the aerial offense and State wilted under it. He shot a prss to Yoing that opened the drive and Navin took the next one for a first down. The guns began a louder fune when Boss hurled a pass to Brazil that was good for 27 years and placed the ball 24 yards from the goal line. Little Snitz Ross followed with a sprint around his own left end that caught State off guard and he scampered across the line for a score.

That was the only start. The real firing still was to come, and the Titans crashed through for two more touchdowns that left the State troops demoralized and they never recovered from the shock, rumble Bring Scores. These touchdowns came with lightning-like rapidity, and State never was the same team after that. Both rame as direct results of fumbles, the first being recovered 33 yards from the uprights. There Brazil again dominated the play when he outsmarted the Spartan defense by hurling a long pas to Brown that was good for 24 yards, and finally the Titan leader bucked his wav through the line and over the last chalk mark.

Princeton Puts Up Stubborn Battle But Is Outplayed Badly Late in Game. New Haven, Nov. 16. (A. Yale's football team today stood up In Its famous bowl, with 78,000 or more persons looking on, to deny that It is a one-man team, using the hapless Princeton Tiger as a victim and Illustrating the tale with a 13 to 0 victory over the men from Old Nassau.

Little Albie Booth, who has been the mainstay of the Blue backfleld all year and has been referred to as the Yale team, could not play today on account of a Charley horse and his mates went out to show their supporters and the Princeton Tigers they could win without Booth. There was no great indication in the scoreless first hulf that the Boothless Yale team would be able to successfully work out the novel experiment. The first two periods were scoreless and Princeton out-gained and outkicked the Ells. McLennan Is Star. In the second half the story was different.

Booth was represented by a proxy who was as elusive and tricky as the little fellow himself. Don McLennan, a junior, whose home is in Lake Forest. showed more offensive power than the Princeton defense could meet. He scored the first Yale touchdown and played a vital part in the second. He gained more than 200 yards in 30 ball carrying efforts.

Another sub, Al Eeane, was a fine running mate for McLennan. Booth almost got in the game. Late in the fourth period Yale drove to the very shadow of Princeton's goal posts and little Albie leaped from the bench and began tearing off his sweater. The crowd roared as he talked to a Yale coach. In the meantime, a play was run and Yale was still a yard from the goal line.

(A. In a dramatic, fiercely fought battle, punctuated by a succession of spectacular passing and scoring plays, Notre Dame vanquished Southern California, 13 to 12, and swept on unbeaten toward the Hoosier goal ut a national grid-Iron championship. In the lightning-like surge of one of the greatest intersectional games of the year, another thrilling chapter was added to the embattled history of Soldier field, while the greatest crowd In the history of American football, 123,000, looked on in frenzied excitement. The actual paid admissions exceeded 120,000, oliieials stated, and they unquestionably got their money's worth as they watched the Hooslers rally from a bad start to sweep the powerful Trojans off their feet, Rockne Directs Play. Pillowed on his movable bed, Just behind the Notre Dame bench, where he could pull the strings of team play personally for the first time in three' weeks, Knute Rockne forgot his ailing leg as his pupils scored a triumph that was more convincing than the one point margin Indicated.

It took a squad of police after the game to protect Rockne from being almost pushed from his bed by the rush of Hoosier enthusiasts, who htd cheered their team's great rush, booed ally at the adverse decisions of of ficials and then watched with bated breath as big Jim Mustek, Trojan fullback, missed the kick for extra point that would have tied the score after a sensational 95-yard run for a touchdown by CJuartcrback Kussell Saunders. Saunders, taking Carideo's kick- off on his own five-yard line, turned in the most spectacular play ot a spectacular game when he dashed pell-mell through the wnole Hoosier team In the period after Notre Dame had rallied to forge into a 13 to 6 lead. It was a marvelous run. but. so far as the final result was concerned, It was wasted when Muslck's kick went wide of the up rights, for thereafter Notre Dame put up an airtight defense against all threats.

Trojans Are Outplayed. Close as Notre Dame came to being held to a deadlock the blue- clad machine from South Bend demonstrated its superiority by a clear margin. It toook the trusty toe of Quarterback Frank Cardideo, in kicking the extra point after the second touchdown to decide the issue, but Notre Dame outrushed, outkicked and cutpassed the burly, hard charging Trojans from the Far West. The first downs, 12 for Notre Dame to seven for Southern California, testified to the more dangerous attack of the Hoosiers, although the brilliant backtleld Continued on Page 21. mailer in a mumcm.

First for Honslers. The Hoosier triumph, Its first of the 1929 race, stunned not only the throng of 35,000 Northwestern homecoming fans but amazed even the handful of Indiana rooters, many of them members of the Indiana Anti-Shave club, Hoosier campus organization pledged not to shave until Its team won a conference game. They stormed the playing field after the final shot, wild with jubilation and waving shaving mugs.

Iowa Fights Back. After Purdue nr scored Its points, the Poilernukers showed they had the fighting hearts of champions. As daikness settled over the field with only a few minutes left to play, the infuriated Hawkeyes made a desperate challenge to tie the score, rushing the ball to within five yards of Purdue's goal, only to lose the oval by failure to compete a forward pass back of the goa' line. Purdue registered its victory at the start of the second period, after a bitterly fought opening session, In which the Hawkeyes outplayed their foes. The Boilermakers started their victorious drive after Willis Glassgow, Iowa's brawny captain, punted to White, Purdue's quarterback, on Iowa's 41-yard line, just as the first period ended.

After Yunevich and Harmeson smashed the line for three yards, Harmeson heaved a surprise pass, the ball sailing 25 yards into the outstretched arms of Bill Woerner, Purdue's crack end. He had a clear field ahead of him, but Glassgow charged across and bumped him out of bounds on the 25-yard line. Then Comes Winning Pass. The Boilermakers tried twc more plays at the line, and then executed the winning pass. Harmeson took the ball and ran to his left, passing the oval through the air for 17 yards, while on the run, to Woerner.

Harmeson added more glory by kicking the goal from placement for the extra point. Purdue made another threat to score in the closing minutes of the fourth period, when It began a savage march through the exhausted Iowa line, scoring four successive first downs, going from their own 20-yard line to Iowa's 25-yard line, where Welch failed to make the first down by inches.

Cambridge, Nov. 16. (A.

Harvard was forced to use almost all of its football strength to subdue the light and scrappy Holy Cross eleven by a 12 to 6 score here today when the Crimson and Purple played their tenth consecutive game before 55,000 spectators. Arnold Horween, Harvard coach, with next week's Yale game in mind, started his second team against the Crusaders who always can be relied on to get off to a slow start In the stadium. Cleo O'Donnell's players ran true to form, but the Harvard seconds were equally ragged and the first half was reduced to a mediocre punting duel. Pass Results In Score. All of the Harvard regulars, (except Fullback Wally Harper, entered the game late In the first half but did not get under way until the third period.

Harvard had the ball on Holy Cross' 10-yard line and forced the Purple Into close formation. There was no one to stop Mays when he caught Devens' lateral pass and widely circled his left end for a touchdown. Harvard scored again In the fourth period after White intercepted one of O'Connell's long passes ana ran 30 yards to Holy Cross one-yard line. Wood then missed for an extra point. SuNtltllten I Red.

When all but five minutes had expired, Horween withdrew his regulars who had suffered no ill effects In the stubborn contest, and replaced them with most of the starting subs.
