Fox was man with all around ability which was another influence that worked toward making this pass play success. Time was when Minnesota piled up terrific yardage, but, due to dumb quarterbacking, lost the games. Now the club never beats itself and always takes advantage of every break to win its games. You got to give them credit When luck is with you through two seasons you must be making your own breaks. 1t took a trick play and an automatic safety w DCdl lIl”SoISII, puI VIC NoPuers did it and are still the nations top team in this corner. Texas is right on the Northerners’ heels though with a swell all-around club. The mud stopped Notre Dame and Army from getting anywhere SO both were knocked out of the ranking with a tie. B. C. really got going and slapped undefeated Temple around for a $40 win and the Bears were knocked over by the Packers while the Cardinals were taking the Giants! Dartmouth was stopped by w. & M. =. who says it aint great season?
