They held Minnesotas pow erful team even on smashing anc running and won by better forward passing and kicking.

Captain Harry Kipke of Michigan, playing his last game, was host m himself his kicks keeping the ball away from the Michigan goal anu finally his dropkick in the third period clinching the game for the Wolverines. He blocked dangerous passes and required usually yaru- full of Minnesotans to tackle nm. They did not let him get away with punt, the only one of the game led to Kipke’s chance for the field goal. Captain Martineau of Minnesota. also playing his final game kept the crowd Oh their feet by his shifting runs. sometimes failing to gain, but often flashing momentarily into Q position where he threatened long gain. His kicking was almost ln- variably short, but was timed so cleverly that the ball almost always dropped far in front of the Michigan receivers and with a forward roll that often made up for lack of dls- tance in the air. Near the close of the first half, Martaineau. standing on his 4o-yara line. booted about 35 yards pau that rolled rapidly toward the Mlchl- gan goal with Gophers racing peslao if. Michigan men used their heaos at this point. Knowing that thero was but 30 seconds to play, they leL if roll rather than take chance or a pebble that would give Minnesota possession near the Michigan goal. The ball stopped on Michisans A. yard line, having tsed up so mueh of the 80 seconds in it’s roll that the half ended without Michigan having to risk a play.
