  Minnesota Keeps Bowl Hopes Alive by Beating Wisconsin campaign with a 81 record. Min nesota lost twice in seven games. Wisconsin, winding up dismal year with only one Big Nine victory in six starts, never had chance. The Badgers spent the first 81 min utes of the game in their own terri tory-and then got only 2 yards over the midfeld stripe with three minutes to play. A slick forward-lateral pass counted the first Gopher marker. The play, starting on Wisconsin’s S 35-yard line following punt, opened with a short pass from Billy Bye to Harry Grant and closed with a lateral to Stan Thiele who went the last 10 yards. Four plays later Minnesota was back again, Ken Beiersdorf crash ing over tackle for 81 yards and the score. Gordon Soltau, who missed the conversion after the first touch down, booted successfully for 1870 halftime lead. A third Gopher scoring drive went 56 yards before stalling on the Wis consin seven, but Soltau kicked q field goal from the II for three points. Ev Faunce and Harry Elliott were the tough luck twins Of the Gopher backfield. Faunce shook lose for an 8O-yard touchdown sprint in the first quarter and Elliott went So for another in the fourth, but both scores were nullified by penalties. MINNESOTA.
