While a colorful homecoming day crowd of 70,000 alternately shivered and cheered, Ohio State fought their way to at least three good chances to score, once missing a touchdown by a foot on a fumble. The Buckeyes, gallantly trying to regain the prestige lost daring an errat:c season, put up a sterling battle in the first half, but the Illini outsmarted them, playing steadier football and captaliz- mg its best scoring opportunities with well-executed passes. Illinois scored twice on identical plays, outguessing the Buckeyes each time. Fred Humbert, sophomore fullback, crossed the goal line for the first touchdown in the opening period on a 23-yard pass from Stuessy as a climax of a 50-yard sweep down the field. The final touchdown was carried over in the third period by Timm, half- NI WIN BIG TEN TITLE WOLVERINES HELPLESS BEFORE i { back and star of the Illini aggrega- tion, on a 26-yard heave from French that ended a steady advance down the field from the kickoff. That year Illinois was forced to share the top with Michigan but to- night they have an undisputed . hold on the cup for the first time since 1919. Ohio State, in its final stand, was outrushed nearly three to one, out- played on offense and outgeneraled on defense, but the Buckeyes went down the field with colors flying. Ohio Starts As Underdogs Underdogs from the start, Coacil Wilce's men threatened constantly with forward passes and on several occasions uncorked running attacks that menaced the Illinois goal line, but lack of continuity to their offense, costly mistakes and misjudgments a well as their handling of the ball robbed the Buckeyes of at least one touchdown. Only a scant foot separated the Scarlet and Gray from tallying in the second half when Rowan, fullback, after a six yard thrust through cen- ter, fumbled with the last chalk mark within reach. Ohio had advanced the ball 55 yards in a brilliant series of plays, featured by a 25 yard pass from E. B. Alber and several long passes ort tackle by Grimm. It looked like a certain score as Rowan dashed through the line, but he funbled, and Nowack, giant Illinois tackle, leaped on the ball. Ohio Loses On Fumble At least five blue and gold jersied players were on top of Rowan, but Nowack had the pigskin when the heap was untangled. Ohio's best opportunity to score filtered away with this fumble, but on two other occasions the Scarlet and Gray warriors passed and bucked their way to their rival's eight-yard line. One of these advances came in the second period, when the Buckeyes were making repeated holes in the Illini defense, but it was broken up when two of Robin Bell's passes were knocked down across the goal line.

The session has been called by Wayne Schroeder, '28, president of the council, for the final action on the protest against the auto ban. This resolution was deferred at the last meeting, held on Nov. 14, as the mem- bers of the council felt the document should be couched in more specific terms. The task of framing the reso- lution in form for presentation to the Board of Regents has been assumed by a special committee appointed by Schroeder. The officers of the council request that each fraternity elect a regular delegate to attend ai meetings of the Interfraternity council, as at- tendance in the past has been very ir- regular. The presence of a represen- tative at the special meeting Tuesday is highly important as other vital matters in addition to the auto ban protest will come before the body. Among these, will be the election 'ENSIAN PICTURES ARE DUE MONDAY 1RD WILL BE THIRD Tomorrow is the last day that sen- iors may make appointments witlO the photographers for their Michigan- ensian pictures.

VEDDER. Like that famed Greel guard at Thermopylae, Michigan's in- spired line fought as few forward walls ever have, but in the end the WVolverines were forced to bow to the unmistakable drive of Min- nesota's sturdv trio of sturdv senior backs, Capt. Herb Joesting, HaroktVAlmquist, and Mall} ,vNdahl. A definitely, superior Gopher eleven exacted retribution for along series of defeats at the hands of the Wolverines to break the "jinx" that hovered over them since 1919 by earning a 13-7 triumph yesterday before 87,000 persons who jammed the new stadium. When thwarted by a st'ffened Michigan line near the the Maize and Blue goal, the Gophers restorted to an effective passing attack, something not possessed by Minnesota in years. So effective was the aerial attack that it may truly be said to have turned the tide in Minneota's favor as both Gopher touchdowns came as a result of passes. Michigan's only real flash of power came at the very beginning of the game when the W olverines went over for a touchdown on the ninth play after the kckoff to continue the tradition that no Min- GOPHERS9 I Herb iJoesting.
