WhatY then, was there to attract the atten- tion and interest of a great number of boys? The answer was found in speed- ball, which had its first trial in the fall of 1921. It met with immediate success due to the fact that it com- bined the footwork of football and soccer, passwork of football and bas- ketball, and general headwork. Not Dangerous There is no danger of serious bodily injury due to the fact that there is no running with the ball, thus elim- inating the dangers of tackling. No great cost is run up by the purchase HE PROOT of uniforms and portective materials. The rules are very simple as special .natural attempts have been made to keep and to with the game very clear. Scoring has been made very easy thus keeping the in- color. Our terest at a high point. Speedball is now promoted as an Intramural sport at many schools, colleges, and universities throughout the country, and has even spread in Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, and China. Before long, this game should take its place alongside of football, soccer, and basketball in intercolle- giate athletics. Out of the same battle, there rose another mighty eleven destined to ascend to the pinnacle of national' football acclaim. That eleven was Minnesota. Beginning in the follow- ing Wisconsin game which the Goph- ers won, 6-3, Bierman's "boys" clicked off 21 consecutive triumphs before the Northwestern Wildcat clawed them into a 6-0 defeat in 1936. But they were still national champions. Last year the Gophers slipped, but Minnesota football mediocrity was still far away. They were still Big Ten champs, even though losing by a combined'6-point total to non-con- ference foes. Meanwhile, the Wol- verines started climbing back, won four out of eight games. And up to Saturday's game, the Gophers have started on another brilliant campaign, winning three games with power reminiscent of Gopher elevens of '34 and '35. But the loss of Harold Van Every, phenomenal junior passer, has forced the Gophers to grind out victories the hard way . . . by power . . . without a dangerous overhead threat to baffle the op- position. And up here in Minneapolis, where October and November Saturdays spell F-O-O-T-B-A-L-L, we hear of the Michigan football revival spon- sored by an old Minnesota hand ... Herbert "Fritz" Crisler. There is new spirit, new confidence, new hope among the 1938 Wolverines. Behind that there is a reborn veteran line, the best set of backs in the confer- ence. To stop and think, as many Minne- sota fans are doing, are Minnesota and Michigan still the barometers of the national football hurricane? May Saturday's game be another turning point in Big Ten football? May an- other possible tie rocket Michigan football fortune to the heights of yesterday, and relegate Minnesota to a secondary position? Well, will his- tory repeat? But anyone's a sucker to gaze any farther ahead than yesterday into the land of What's Coming. So we'll just wait and see who gets "jugged" in Memorial stadium Saturday. Last Minute Field Goal For B. C. Defeats Titans BOSTON, Oct. 12.-(/P)-Fella Gin- toff's last-minute 15-yard placement field goal enabled Boston College to come from behind and gaina hard-' fought 9-6 victory over Detroit today before 20,000 persons at Fenway Park. Detroit scored in the first period when Ed Palumbo raced the last 12 yards after completing a 38-yard pass to Johnny Halpin. Boston College marched 50 yards in the fourth quar- ter before Pete Gignetti tied the score with a 12-yard off-tackle smash. Ingalls, Roberts, Meizow Stand Out On Defense The freshmen football squad final- ly got a chance to show their stuff yesterday when Varsity Coach Fritz Crisler called them over to stop the offensive thrusts of his Minnesota bound first and second teams. The courageous yearlings howled' and fought their way to a brave showing for the first half of their 30 minute drill, but age and experience finally cooled them off, and the last half found the wicked Wolverines plowing huge holes in the tired frosh line. Outstanding in the yearling de- fensive were the two Kiski boys, Bob Ingalls, at center, and Harris Roberts, at quarterback, with Bill Melzow, the rugged all-state guard from Flint Central, looking throughout the scrimmage like a Heikkinen in the making. .. 0 I I Watch for Q I what a, manI GIVE HIM CREDIT-THE FELLOW WHO MAKES THAT LONG RUN...
