Purdue, undefeated in the Western Conference, is forced into sec ond place because of a tie with North western earlier in the season. A Minnesota tumble shortly before had paved the way for Newmans OPP portunity to keep unblemished Michigan’s record of eight victories and no defeats nor ties this season. The Gophers, fighting the desperate battle of underdogs, matched defensive energies in every period, led in the number of first downs, 8 to 2, and had the highest total of gains and stopped Michigan’S dangerous passing attack centering about Newman. FOR Jack Manders’ big Gopher full J. back, playing his last college game, there was a touch of tragedy In the kIaa of hn for the old rivals.

Fay lost a yard, and as Michigan faced its final down, with yards to go, Newman dropped back to kick at an angle with Fay holding the ball. A FTER his kick, neither team made “A its way within 80 yards of the others goal Only once did Mime sofa threaten seriously. That was in the third period when the Gophers accounted for all their three first downs. Pug Lund, halfback, the days leading ground-gainer, broke into the open on a dash through tackle. Only Newman, coming up quickly from his safety position, remained between Llnd and the goal, but as Lrtnd attempted to dodge the Wolverine, he slipped and ended his 13-yard run without much effort on Newman’s part Most of the game resolved itself down to a punting duel between Regeczi Michigan fullback. and Lund. in which the Wolverines easily led, averaging 40 yards on 20 kicks, to 80 in 16 kicks by Minnesota.
