MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. l6.-Minne-
sofas football powerhouse won the
Western Conference championship
here today by unleashing a high
voltage attack that shocked Purdue's
Boilermakers into defeat, 33 to 6.
1t was Minnesota's seventh
straight victory of the season, in
cluding five conference contests, and
left it in position to bring bril-
liant undefeated season to a close
in the final game with Wisconsin
at Madison next week.
Michigan helped the Gophers to
the title by eliminating Northwest
ern, 20 to 13, at Ann Arbor today.
Minnesota power was at its best
as it's ground game rolled roughshod
over the Boilermakers, but 1t still
showed a weakness against passes,
Purdue taking to the air to set up
its touchdown.
Purdue, held to a net of % yards
by rushing, fired 80 passes. of which
13 were completed for 126 yards.
Meantime, Minnesota relied almost
entirely on power plays that pro-
duced more than 300 yards.
There was little doubt about the
eventual outcome of the game from
the opening kickoff, when Bobby
Paffrath took the ball on his own
Is and fumbled. George Franck,
Gopher speedster, was there to pick
it up on the 20-yard line, and he
returned 80 yards for touchdown
after skirting the entire Purdue
team, punched in front of him.
Gordon Paschka place-kicked the
extra point, and Minnesota led, 7
to 0, with only is seconds of play
ing time elapsed.
The second Gopher touchdown in
the first period came after Franck
had returned a punt 81 yards to the
Purdue 81. Bruce Smith and Franck
in two plays made 1t 8 first down on
the 10, and after Faffrath lost 3

1t was Muha who plunged and

KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Nov. 10
Courage and little Bill Dudley were
insufficient today, and a fighting
crew of Virginia Cavaliers went
down under Tennessee's steamroller,
AHA, before 1000 frost-bitten fans.
The Virginia team, unable to pen

first quarter. uncorked a barrage of

The second came in the final quar-
ter when Dudley gathered in Tenn

yards for the tally. The slender
halfback, who weighs l68 pounds,
also kicked both extra points.
Virginia's touchdowns were the
first scored on Tennessee on Shield
Watkins Field since Ken Kavanaugh
OF Louisiana State turned the trick
in 1888. For the rest of the game
it was all Tennessee.

COLLEGE STATION, Tex, Nov
16.-Methodically, almost casually,
the Texas Aggies poured ruthless
power and a fabulous passing game
into Rice Institute today for a $50
triumph that took them to the very
brink of a second successive un-
beaten season.
Never, in their classic string of 10
victories. had the Cadets struck with
such viciousness as today-tumbllng
through once-beaten Rice for 4o6
yards by ground and air.
Once again it was John KIM
brough, the massive All-America
full back. in the belleWether role.
The grinning 222-pounder prose-
cuted, and closed, his All-America
case for 1910 by shredding Rice's
stout line for 108 yards on 18 carries
for an average gain of six yards.
He butted, he dived, he jolted and
he simply overpowered the second
ranking line of the Southwest Con-
ference.
Makes Eight Straight Catches.
But today John Kimbrough shared
the glory with a 6-foot sophomore
end-a gangling lad named Bill
(Jitterbug) Henderson who threw
the crowd of 10000 into panic
with eight consecutive catches for
a total of lit yards.
Not until this astonishing string
bean, essentially basket ball player,
had enrolled at Texas A. & NJ. did
he play football. Now he ranks as

He was in the Rice secondary all
afternoon, grabbing passes all the
way from 2 to "a yards.
Only once was Rice in this ball
game. Deep in the fourth period,
second and third-stringers dotting
the Aggie line, they put on drive
featuring Bob Brumley, a magnifi-
cent back, that surged to the Aggie
IA. But there it stopped. Prior to
that the Aggie AZ was heir best

Kimbrough, who had belted the
Rice wall for some so yards in the

yards on two smacks that carried
to his 43. Then he made good on a
gamble that led to the three quick
touchdowns in the next II minutes.

Late Carolina Attack
Gets Amazing 6-3
Win Over Duke
lolunne Head Of Surge
Started by Tor Heels
Initial First Down

BY the Associated Press.
CHAPEL HILL, N. c., Nov. 10
With an astounding surge of power,
which netted fourth-quarter
touchdown, an inspired, brilliantly
fighting University of North Caro-
lima football team scored a stun
ming 6-to-3 upset today over Dukes
Blue Devils.
FOrty-one thousand pers on S
watched the amazing display by a
team which had previously been
off-color as often as it had clicked.
Cardinals offense had been held
tight by Duke until midway the
third quarter, Duke leading 80 at
that time and the Tar Heels not
having made a first down, but quick
ly the tables were turned and the
upset was accomplished.
Jim (Sweet) Lalanne touched off
the fireworks with a l0-yard line
slice from his Is, and a 75-yard
scoring drive was under way after
that initial first down.
Lalanne Heads Attack.
Lalanne was the spearhead of
the attack and it was a 10-yard
flip by him to Joe Austin which
tailed the touchdown. Paul Sev-
erin, who once saved the contest
with never-say-die chase and
tackle of Steve Lach, failed to con-
vert from placement, but the six
points got bigger and bigger and
finally stood up.
Duke tailed its three points late
in the second quarter when Tony
Ruffa booted field goal from place
ment, with the ball held at the 2l.
Ruffa had failed on a previous field
goal attempt early in the opening
quarter, the ball being kicked from
the 25.
Duke, previously beaten this sea-
son only by Tennessee, rolled out II
first downs to five for North Caro-
lima, which had dropped games to
Wake Forest, Tulane, Fordham and
Richmond. The Blue Devils held
a decided edge in, ground gained
running and passing. but that one
unstoppable Carolina drive was the
payoff.
Duke Gains Heavily.
Duke gained 146 yards rushing to
Carollnas So and gained 112 yards
passing to SO for the winners.
