CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-The brawny veterans
Of the Minnesota foot ball squad romped
all over Chicago today, beating the mid
way players by the decisive score OF 2l

lads from Minneapolis had a monopoly
Of that department OF the game.
McGovern, Minnesota's star quarterback,

figure and black head were to be seen In
every play and especially In dazzling re-
turns of punts. Rosenwald, the left half
hit the line like steam ram. while John
ston and Stevens seldom failed OF make
their distance. The Gopher forwards stood
Ike a bulwark protecting the fast shifting
plays which Coach williams has drilled
into his back field.
McGovern carried the ball about half
of the time for Minnesota and returned
most OF the punts. The only flaw in his
record was the m, ssing Of three goals from
field once from the twenty-slx-yard line
once from the twenty-fve-yard line and
against from the fifteen-yard line. Early
in the game the star quarterback twisted
through the helpless Chicago line for a
