80 YARD CHARGE
WINS THE GAME
Bruce Smith, Gopher Back,
Leads Eleven Toward
Western Title
BY EARL HILLIGAN

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. 8.
Citadel of foot.
ball crashed in the mud and rain
of Memorial stadium today-level-
ed by mighty Minnesota on one
sudden, stormy 80-yard charge by
a great Gopher back, Bruce Smith.
Minnesota, racing on toward the
Western conference title and a
shot at national honors, won the
battle z to 6 before So, 1894 rain
soaked and nerve-wracked specta-
tors. And to win, the Gophers had
to come from behind-dolng just
that on Smiths brilliant 80-yard
touchdown sprint in the second pc
Rod after Michigan had taken a
six point lead on a touchdown pass
by Tom Harmon earlier in the
quarter.
Game-Breaking Run
Smiths great game-breaking
run, a remarkable performance on
a turf soaked by a rain which fell
throughout the duel, came with
breath-taking suddenness late in
the second period.
The Gophers, seconds after halt
ing a Michigan touchdown bid, had
possession on their own 20. On
the first play Smith flashed off
left tackle, swung toward the side
lines and was away for the touch
down which gave Minnesota its
sixth straight win of the season
and its seventh straight win over
Michigan in this famed Little
Brown jug" series.
Substitute Joe Mernik, whose
toe beat Northwestern last Satur-
day, calmly kicked the point aft
err touchdown-and that was the
game.
Michigan-with its brilliant Har-
mon still a great back in defeat
gave the victors one of the most
stubborn battles they've w had
before bowling in defeat. The
Wolverines, after they had gone
ahead on Harmon's touchdown
pass to Forest Evashevski and
then watched Harmon miss the
try for point by inches, never gave
up. They threatened to the final
two minutes only to see Minneso-
ia repulse every threat and surge
back in the last minute of play
with a drive which carried deep
into Michigan territory.
After a first period duel which
saw both Harmon and Minneso-
ta's George Franck stage a great
punting battle, the huge crowd
largest in Gopher history - was
treated to a great second-quarter
skirmish. A Michigan drive of 86
yards carried the Wolverines to
the Minnesota one. Harmon, on
fourth down, slipped with a big
hole ahead of him and it was Min
I~nesota's ball.
Returns The Boot
The Gophers kicked out and Sec
onds later Harmon returned the
boot, the ball going out on the
Minnesota six yard marker. On
the first play Bill Daley fumbled,
Bob Westfall recovering for Michi-
gan on the Minnesota. S. After
two plays had gained two yards,
Harmon jaunted to his left, then
fired a perfect pass to Evashevski,
who took the touchdown toss in
the, end-zone corner. And a min
ute later Harmon, who had Sue
cessfully made IL after touchdown
points previously this season,
missed this time, the ball fading
to the left of the uprights.
