BY c. w. SPEARS. NJ ADIsON, Wis, November M 27.-The curtain went lVl down on mid-Western Conference foot ball with Michigan winning the title by virtue Of 1870 win over North western. Michigan, bv coming through this ANAL game. definitely proved 1t was the best team in the conference. When 1t was learned that Olson, Northwestern’s star kicker. was going to be out OF the game, owing to injuries. right there things began to look bad for the kicking has been a great factor in its of1ense and defense this year. As usual. in these cases when you lose a great kicker, the day turns out to be one where the wind Is blowing Z gale and the kicker Is 30 per cent Of the team. Michigans rushing game wasn’t much, but Regec1i’s kicking kept Michigan continually in front Of the goal posts. where it could throw a long pass or try for q field goal 1t was to be expected that Ncrthvestern’s running game would not give Michigan’s good defensive line much trouble, but. with Olson’S kicking TO put them in scoring position, its passing game would have functioned much better. However, 1t did not have Olson and Michigan outplayed its rival by show. ing q marked superiority In every de. partnent. n MINNESOTA struggled to 6–3 win VI over Wisconsin, the game being played under very adverse weather conditions. Wisconsin took the lead early, on field goal by Mario Pacetti. its great guard. The ball traveled 48 yards-one of the most brilliant kicks have ever seen. Minnesota’s 8 scoring chance came when a punt rolled to Wisconsin’S e-yard line. Two consecutive fumbles by Wisconsin, due to shaky passes from center. the first on the 3-yard line, the second on the l-foot line. permitted Minnesota to recover and Lund Immediately slashed over. There was little to choose between the two teams, there being only about 3 yards difference in total yard age gained by passing and running. Minnesota, however, had q distinct edge in the kicking argument-particularly after Fontaine. Wisconsin’s kicker. was forced to leave the game through in juries. Wisconsin was guilty Of looser handling Of the ball. , Handling the ball was no easy task for after the hrst minutes Of the game rain was turning TO snow and . regular blizzard made playing exceed ingly dinncult. Larson. Minnesota’s end was quite impressive. Lund, Minnesota 4 great back, made little headway. al though he was by far the Gophers greatest threat. Pacetti ut guard was Wisconsin’s great star, although the entire team played well. OHIO STATE won thrilling, hard. ~ fought game from Illinois. Ohio State excelled Illinois in q very marked fashion in its running game while Illinois had better passing. II wal rather surprise that the Ohio running game gained as much ground Is it did Illinois kicking game did not hold ur | as well as expected against Ohios excellent kicking, and this was about the margin Of winning and losing. It looked as II Illinois did the worst kicking it has done in any Of its major games this season. The Illinois team however, lost fighting and was very close to scoring ut the end, but last minute plays did not quite click, and Purdue was given a great fight by Indiana for the first half. but it continued Its drive and pressure and finally broke down Indiana’s resistance, piling through for three touchdowns. Southern California won. as was expected, from Notre Dame. It had q slight edge throughout the game, and especially when Elser. Notre Dame full Motre SssT Dsmea % onense @ % sosted down Southern California had the class to take advantage Of scoring opportunities and Warburton was the spark that made the difference between the scoTing punch Of the two teams. ~H1cAoo finished her season in a blaze Of glory, completely out chasing Dartmouth In oil depart ments Of the game. Chicago has been all season a much better team than people generally gave 1t credit folbeing. Iowa lost a hard one to Nebraska BY the margin Of a goal kick. Iowa really outplayed the Nebraska team. but through the great defensive play Of eauer. Nebraska STAYED on Iowas last quarter rally. Detroit University beat Michigan State in q hard battle. Motifs superb passing was too much for the Michigan | State team. Drake and Iowa State In their annual meeting battled to TT tie, representative of the strength Of the two teams although Iowa State outplayed Drake. It was really too bad that in the final games Of q great season, practically al had to be played with strong wind being q deciding factor.

via the crimson Harry Costello running attack. However, Harward went to the overhead game and won through use of the forward pass. The contrast of the two delenses in the Yale-Harvard game indicated that 6-3-2 is a better all round defense, although it must be said that Gin this particular game, at any rate) Yale’s over head was nothing to brag about. The value Of point after touch down was clearly Illustrated in the Ohio State–IllinoiS, Nebraska Iowa, Mississippi and Georgia Georgia Tech games. The first named teams in each in stance took Z to 6 verdlctS through goals after touchdown, the extra point being the differ ence in each case. Field Goal to Fore Field goals once again came to the front as scoring weapons. Michigan’s kalamazoo Dutch man.” Herman Everhardus, scored two against Northwestern. Will liams booted one for California against Stanford. Kelson. Indiana, booted one against Purdue. Pacetti, Wisconsin, was successful with one against Minnesota, a strong wind aiding him in kick ing one 48 yards (from the So yard line). There were others, too. Long runs figured prominently in some games, but the forward pass, mostly against 1922 delenses, proved the greatest scoring weapon Of all. Breaks aided several teams to regis victories notably Detroit, which took advantage of two breaks to defeat Michigan State. Remarkable Attack This observer saw Maryland’s 1888 gridiron edition for the first time on Saturday and still is wondering how any eleven could defeat the Terrapins. For sheer versatility of attack. Maryland looked and acted like a top-rate team-right at the top, too.
