Girard, playing every minute OF the game, tossed two passes 1or the Badgers touchdowns, a n q placekicked one extra point. He slashed through t h heavy Irish wall time after time for substantial gains, and his field general ship when scoring opportunities were presented was flawless. Kelly started the ramblers on their fourth victory march on the second play of the game when ne dashed around his own right end, picked up three blockers and raced | so yards down the sidelines to e touchdown. A few minutes later, Girard fumbled on the 9 and Bill O’Connor recovered for Notre Dame. Kelly slashed off right guard on fourth down, to score. In the third, the Ramblers’ Of tense got into high gear again after they scored a safety on the kickoff. Jerry Thompson fumbled the back of the goal a nd was tackled by Art Mergenthal.
