Three more touchdowns were chalked up for the Gophers before the gun ended the half, leaving Iowa 34 points behind. The second half saw Minnesota substitutes hold the Hawkeyes on even terms.

He added the point a moment later with a successful placekick. A few sec- onds after the initial score Alphonse, behind beautiful blocking, raced through the entire Iowa team for 77 yards and another touchdown. Lund again converted the extra point. The dophers were content to rest for the remainder of the quarter, but opened another sustained drive at the beginning of the second period. Ros- coe, Kostka, and Alphonse carried the ball across for the three Minne- sota touchdowns in this period and Beva made good on two of the con- versions. The second half saw the Hawkeyes start a determined offensive, but fumbles by Crayne and other Iowa backs prevented any long marches, The most spectacular Cornhusker play, however, came in the third per- iod when Tyro heaved a long pass to Page who outran the whole Minne- sota secondary for a score. Page al- so added the extra point. The Goph- ers matched both Iowa touchdowns in this second half and clearly out- played Iowa throughout the game. BUCKEYE BEAT WILDCATS, 28-6 A heavy, fast charging Ohio State eleven overcame an early six-point Northwestern lead to completely van- quish the lighter Purple team, 28-6. The victory gave Ohio State two wins out of its last three starts. It was Noi'thwestern's second defeat and virtually eliminated them from any title consideration. All the late customers missed the most spectacular play of the entire game when Potter took the opening kick-off on his own eight-yard line and weaved through a diving, fight- ing O.S.U. team for 92 yards and the first score of the game. This was Northwestern's only real scoring threat, however, and there- after Ohio State pushed the Purple around the field at will, scoring four touchdowns and making four success- ful conversions.

Missouri's score was the result of a Chicago fumble of a punt on the three-yard line. It was the first time the Mar- oons had been scored on this season. It also was Missouri's first score of the year. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 27- Sit- ting patiently in the midst of driving showers, a small crowd of 6,000 per- sons looked on as the Boilermakers of old Purdue unloosed a spectacular offensive in the second half to score three touchdowns and trim the Ski- bos, 20-0. A staunch Carnegie Tech defense heroically repulsed every Purdue threat in the first hallf and drove the invaders back into their own ter- Borgmann Outstand ing In Michigan Line A ry Defeats Yale; Colgate Is Also Victor Buckler Stars As Cadets Outplay Game Eli Team3 In Yale Bowl YALE BOWL, NEW HAVEN, Conn.,1 Oct. 27 - Army's high-powered foot- ball team defeated Yale here, today, 20-12, before 45,000 spectators, fqr its fifth straight win of the season.

WORCESTER, Mass., Oct. 27 --(P) - Four new magicians from the hills high above the Shenandoah valley practiced their dizzy feat of legerde- man on a lot of big game, but unsus- pecting Holy Cross boys today, and Colgate toppled the crusaders from the undeated class 20 to 7. A crowd of 23,000, all the stadium would hold, saw all the eastern and1 national title aspirations knocked out of their heroesasSteveaKuk, Gene Kern, Clair Lyon and Harry BauschI pulled touchdowns out of the brisk air like magicians producing rabbits I on a vaudeville stage.1 Ford Plays Stellar Game Against Zuppkemen It was Bill Borgmann's stellar line play that was largely responsible for the two great goal line stands made by the Wolverines against the fighting Illini. Borgmann was on the bottom of every pile up in the line, breaking through often to nail the ball carried for a loss.. His re- covery of a blocked punt was one of the highlights of the game and characterized the alert defensive game which the Michigan line played all afternoon. Borgman was the first lineman down the field on punts and aided in bottling up Beynon, Illinois safety man.

The Bearcats scored the only points, of the game near the end of the thirdj quarter after line bucks and a pass from Al Sebo to Red Edmunds placed the ball on the Purple's three-yard line. John Sherrod, negro back, carried the ball over left guard to score. Merline Mitchell's try for the extra point failed. Elmer Sootsman, all-state center, led a Battle Creek line that pushed the local forward wall around at will. Mitchell, Sebo, and Sherrod of the Bearcat backfield tore the Purple line to shreds. Dick Warner and Gene Kurtz did yeoman work in the Ann Arbor back- field. ritory on several occasions. Scratch- ing, fighting, yielding inches slowly after the most stubborn resistance, the Tech men held for downs time after time and managed to keep their goal line inviolate during the first two period's. The crushing power drives of the Boilerriakers were too much for Carnegie in the last half, however, and they succumbed after a hard bat- tle on the rain-soaked gridiron, yielding three touchdowns and two points after touchdown to Carter,1 Purvis and the vicious assaults of!
