"A Ar INNEAPOLIS, Mimi, No
M vember 19.-It was fourth
| VI down, yards to go for
goal, with SO seconds re-
naming in the first half today,
when Harry Newman, Michigan
quarterback, decided to stake his
teams chances for an undisputed
Big Ten title on his right foot.
He booted high place-kick. 1t
narrowly missed an upright, but scared
safely over to provide the margin OF
a 3-to-0 victory over Minnesota, giving
the Wolverines the title and claim on
the mythical national foot ball cham
pionshir. Purdue, undefeated in the
Western Conference, is forced into sec
ond place because of a tie with North
western earlier in the season.
A Minnesota tumble shortly before
had paved the way for Newmans OPP
portunity to keep unblemished Michi-
gan's record of eight victories and no
defeats nor ties this season. The
Gophers, fighting the desperate battle
of underdogs, matched defensive ener-
gies in every period, led in the number
of first downs, 8 to 2, and had the
highest total of gains and stopped
Michigan'S dangerous passing attack
centering about Newman.
FOR Jack Manders' big Gopher full
J. back, playing his last college game,
there was a touch of tragedy In the
kIaa of hn
for the old rivals.
He was, with Charles Bernard, Mich
igan center, an outstanding defense
player. but it was his tumble near the
end of the second period that turned
the tide for Michigan before the 10000
frostbitten spectators. Manders caught
@ low pass from center with the tips
of his fingers, and as the ball slid out
of his grasp Bernard and Fred Petos-
key, Michigan end, recovered 1t on the
Minnesota 23-yard line.
Newman'S pass game was stopped at
less critical times. but in the next Sc
quence of plays it counted for all Of
the 18 yards it brought his team dur
ing the day. A pass to Fay was good
for yards, Fay plunged for more and
Everhardus lost 4. Newman then shot
a pass down the center of the field to
Petoskey, who was hauled down only
3 yards short of the goal. Fay lost
a yard, and as Michigan faced its final
down, with yards to go, Newman
dropped back to kick at an angle with
Fay holding the ball.
A FTER his kick, neither team made
"A its way within 80 yards of the
others goal Only once did Mime
sofa threaten seriously. That was in
the third period when the Gophers ac-
counted for all their three first downs.
Pug Lund, halfback, the days leading
ground-gainer, broke into the open on
a dash through tackle.
Only Newman, coming up quickly
from his safety position, remained be-
tween Llnd and the goal, but as Lrtnd
attempted to dodge the Wolverine, he
slipped and ended his 13-yard run
without much effort on Newman's part
Most of the game resolved itself down
to a punting duel between Regeczi
Michigan fullback. and Lund. in which
the Wolverines easily led, averaging 40
yards on 20 kicks, to 80 in 16 kicks by
Minnesota.
For the game, Michigan gained 81
yards including 18 by passes, while losing
SO, and Minnesota gained 126 yards, in
