Certain aviation men contend that

Air power also played a leading

On the first play Tippy Madarik
started off on a run 10 his right.
Suddenly he stopped and whirled
a pass TO his left in the direction
of Hughes running down the side
line.
Hughes caught UP with the ball
on Fort Knox 81, grabbed il trav-
cling at top speed, checked TO side
step a would-be tackler, and then
kept on going. Everything hap
penod so quickly the play only can
be fully appreciated now as the
most exciting.

Minis had won the national match
game title from Ned Day in Chi
cago by 30 pins in total pins, but
lost it on a point system after 1t
appeared he was hopelessly beaten
to our mind was bowlings thrill in
1912.
All because of sheer courage, or
call it just plain CUTS, if you wish,
shown by Crimmins. Few people
knew, or for that matter know to-
day, Crimmlns started the match
with an injured back we'll taped
He begged US not TO say anything
for fear he would be charged with
an attempt at alibi
II is no alibi now. Merely an ex-
PLANTATION of thrill. When the pain
was most intense Crimmins was

outstanding football games Miehi-
gan scored two most impressive
victories over Great Lakes and
Notre Dame while the Fighting
Irish defeated the powerful Iowa
Preflight Seahawks of Bernie
Bierman.
Since 1909 the partisans of
Michigan and Metre Dame had
been waiting for the battle be-
tween these two leaders of mid
western football. AS rule
rematches like this one are dull
and disappointing, but not this
game. There was plenty OF scor-
ing with Michigan getting five
touchdowns and Notre Dame
three. Even Fielding II. Yost
called it the greatest game he
ever saw.
Trailing by point at half, time
the Wolverines scored three times
in rapid succession in the third
pc iod. The memory of man
recall any other team ever
tallying three touchdowns in a
period against the Irish.
Notre Dame and Michigan were
both at their best. 1t was a spec
tacular, hard-fought contest, but
both teams were praised for their
