today, the victory OF the University
of Minnesota over Illinois, 20 to !.
in Minneapolis Saturday. 1t was the

Gophers made fourth touchdown.
which was disallowed because of a
penalty, and battered at the Illinois
line close to the goal several times
in the last period.
Harold Red" Grange, the great
Illinois half back, stood out even in
defeat. lie made one touchdown and
played fine football, but he could not
get started with the Minnesota for
wards ripping through the Illinois
line. Coach Spaulding of Minnesota
had perfected a defense which stop
ped Grange the only time this season.
The Minnesota team, criticized Tor
'
ed instructions to the letter Satur-
day, and the strategy of the Mime
sofa coaching system worked to per
lection.
As did Chicago, the Gophcrs scor-
ed by ripping the Illinois line to
pieces. Schultz, Lidberg and Cox
starred for the Gophers.
I,r, Mo I,

fore the whistle blew giving victory.

ed Northwestern easily.
Michigan Wins Hard One
Michigan was given tough battle
by Ohio State in the latters stadium,

In the East, the powerful Yale team
loomod as the best of the Big Three
by defeating Princeton, 10 to 0.

Saturday.
Pennsylvania, undefeated, played a
to tie with Penn State on Il mud
dy field. Columbia fought the Army
to II to IA tie.
Notre Dame stands out today as
the best team in the East and Middle
West, however. The Irish got re-
vengc on Nebraska for defeats suffer
cd the last three years. The Irish
team won, "a to G, with the four
famous Notre Dame backs running
wild against the husky Nebraskans.
New Alibi
The University Of North Dakota
team has new alibi for losing Il
football game. Five regulars of the
team missed train connections in
Minneapolis and could not be in Mil
waukee for the game with Marquette,
which the latter team won, 26 to 0.
The Dakota men spent four restless
hours early Saturday II miles out of
Osakis, while the crew of the Great
Northern Train No. 4 repaired a
broken bar-pn on one Of the coaches.
The five reached Minneapolis too late
to make train connections and instead
of playing saw the Mnnesota-Illi-
nOis game
