N0TRE DAME DOWNS NORTHWESTERN, 1870 SOUTH BEND. Ind, November 21.- Overcoming in 10 minutes a lead of 10 points amasSed against it in the first half, Notre Dame today defeated Northwestern, 13 to 10. Two downfleld marches at the start of the third quarter netted the pair of touchdowns which erased the Wis itors’ margin and brought victory. Both touchdowns were the result of straight foot ball, without a single forward pass to interrupt the steady punch of smashes and the sweep of wide end runs with which the Rockne men earned their conquest The first half of the game had given Northwestern a substantial lead. Lewis kicked a goal from placement at 35 yards in the opening quarter, and Capt. Tom Lowry, Purple center, grabbed Edwards tumble in the sec ond period and scrambled yards across the Notre Dame goal for a touchdown, to which Lewis added the extra point. Virtually all the play in the half was on Notre Danes half of the gridiron. Receiving the kickoff at the open ing of the third period, Notre Dame retaliated with it’s first determined offensive, and Flanagan, Herndon and Enright hit the Purple line and fianked its ends for short gains, which within few minutes had put Enright and Flanagan across for touchdowns. Enright added the point after his own touchdown but failed on the point after F’lanagan’s score. But the 3-point edge was ample for the remainder of the game brought no seri- Gus scoring threat from either team.
