through broken field for SIS yards
TO make a touchdown. The writer
describing the play, calls It, the most
spectacular feature of the contest.
We will let him tell 1t In his own
words:
THE North Dakota's S6-yard dash
was not as thrilling as Bob Peplau's
b5-yard squirt for the second Goph-
ar touchdown In the second quarter,
either. Peplau had just succeeded
Nydahl In the game when he took
the ball on the first play. After
starting through right tackle, he
dashed away from his interference
and ran through a broken field for
4 touchdown. He gave a brilliant
exhibition of open field running, stiff
arming and sidestepping the Flick
erteils who tried to bring him down."
Another passage In the story will
tell of more good work by the local
boy
THE fourth Minnesota touchdown
came In the last quarter when Pep
lau went over the line after Joe
Gordon had advanced the ball to
within one yard OF the goal posts,
following a series Of limo plunges by
Joesting. Peplau place kicked for

S in favor Of Peplau's team and was
witnessed by 10000 people. Peplau's

his name is mentioned time and
again and his speed is remarked
on. One line alone describes his

position, gets into most all the games
and SO far has given a remarkable
account Of himself.

The first rift In the signing Of ar
ticles for the Denlpsey-Wi fight
some time next year, has arisen on
the horizon with the signing Of Wills
TO fight In New Jersey. Mr.. Demp-
sey kicks because Wills did not let
him know that he was going to fight.
We wonder why this clause should
be placed in the agreement. Do
both fighters want to be as stale as
possible for the much ballyhooed
championship fight?
Paul Berlenbach Is confident that
he will settle his score with Jack
