But an il- legal use of the hands penalty againstrMichigan nullified the flashy run. And then there was Kramer's booming punt that traveled 58 yards and came to rest on the Ar- my six-yard line. The boot took the Wolverines out of a bad posi- tion and placed the Cadets back against the proverbial wall. Another Penalty The visitors managed one firsi down and then were forced tc kick; Vince Barta's punt was downed at mid-field. On third down, Shannon grabbed a long Maddock pass and. raced to the Army three before he was bounc- ed out of bounds. Another pen- alty-this time offside-nullified the crowd-pleasing play.

(W) - A third string sophomore, 194-pound Dick Borstad, loosed some old-fashioned Minnesota fullbacking yesterday to grind the Gophers to a 18-7 Big Ten victory over winless Northwestern, which plays Michi- gan next Saturday. Borstad battered across for two touchdowns and took charge of a game in which the fumbling Gophers spotted Northwestern a 7-0 lead but rallied for a 12-7 half- time lead. Scores First One Borstad, who began reaching for stardom last week with Minne- sota's first touchdown of the sea- son in a close 7-6 loss to Purdue, slarfmed at the Wildcats 22 times for 142 yards, an average of 6.5. Northwestern drew first blood after recovering two Gopher fumb- les on the Wildcats' 15, on an 85- yard march in 13 plays with quarterback Dale Pierita hurling a 15-yard scoring pass to halfback Jerry Weber. But in the dying minutes of the first half, Minnesota scored twice within one minute, 21 seconds. The first Gopher touchdown came on quarterback Dick Larson's 40- yard pass to 166-pound halfback Dick McNamara. Wildcats Fumble A Wildcat fumble at Northwest- ern's 25 on the ensuing kickoff produced the second Gopher touchdown. Borstad knifed four yards to score with 13 seconds to the half. A circus catch by end Jon Jelacic 1'on the Wildcat four of a 21-yard Larson pass set up the touchdown. Borstad's second touchdown was on h one-foot smash to cap a 48-yard Gopher drive in the third quarter. In the 13-play march, Borstad carried eight times for 30 yards. SMALL SCHOOL HOLDS DISTINCTION: Only Wesleyan Unbeaten By Wolverines V By PHIL DOUGLAS Daily Sports Editor I "Mighty" Army has fallen- and this morning Michigan fans all over the nation are rejoicing that now-at long last- their Wolver- ines own at least one victory over every team they have ever played. A letter to the contrary was re- ceived yesterday morning, a strangely prophetic letter-and one which shatters this fond dream of Michiganders every- where, into smithereens. .. Wesleyan Whammy Yes--there is one. team in all the land that still owns a whammy over Michigan. The Wolverines have never beaten them. The school to which we refer is tiny Wesleyan--fa tiny college of 1,000 students near Middletown Con- necticut. The letter to which we refer is hereby reproduced: "Dear Sir: Grantland Rice once said, 'Let the facts, no matter how small, stand clear.' "In days of old, before huge stadiums were invented, tiny Wes- leyan University, long s i n c e shrouded in gridiron insignifi- cance, travelled west to defeat Michigan in a bruising football match." "Unhappily, Michigan never re- ceived an opportunity to avenge the defeat. Following Michigan's defeat' of Army this Saturday, therefore, Wesleyan will stand alone as the only team to hold a perfect record against the Wol- verines." Yours in sport, Robert Hazen. Records Prove It Mr. Hazen's statement was care- fully checked in the Michigan Sports Record Book-and he is absolutely correct. In 1883, Wes- leyan dumped Michigan, then in its fifth season of football, 14-6. The two teams had never met be- fore, nor did they ever collide again. A more carefull search of the records reveal that Michigan has "none-won" records against three other institutions-but they are not colleges or universities by any means. Michigan has never beaten the Chicago Athletic Association, the Chicago Athletic Club, and the Cleveland Athletic Association. All three were clubs that Michigan played and lost to, back in the Gay Nineties. So Mr. Hazen's Wesleyan Card- inals are the only college in the land to liold a hex over Michigan today-as Army found its five game skein smashed into obUivion Northwestern, suffering its third yesterday. straight loss after defeats by Maybe Mr. Crisler and company Miami of Ohio and Tulane, was ought to schedule Wesleyan again. lucky to recover three Minnesota It would be nice to boast a clean fumbles, each in Wildcat territory, slate. in the first half.
