Michi (Picture on Page 3, Sports.) Princeton, N. Nov. 23. Special. Unbeaten Princeton established its claim to football supremacy in the east today by handing Dartmouth a decisive 25 to 6 defeat, its first of the year, before 55,000 snowbirds at Palmer stadium.

Both teams played under the handicap imposed by a blinding snowstorm that converted the gridiron into a skillet brimming over with grease-like mud, and caused runners to skid, slither, and slide, sometimes for yards. BY ARCH WARD. Chieago Tribune Tress Servicc.l (Pictures on Page 3, Sports.) Notre Dame, Nov. 23. Notre Dame, which cracked with a noise heard across the nation the last time it appeared on its own field, wound up its season today with a 20 to 13 victory over a big, burly and belligerent eleven from Southern California before a near capacity crowd of 50,000.

The triumph, today was Notre Dame's sixth in the ten games with its coast rival and gave the Irish a record of seven victories, one defeat and one tie for the season. It has ermakers, 7 to 0, today on a forward pass play, Wendel Walker to Vernon may be continued next autumn. Moreover, Minnesota has played 24 games without defeat, since four of the 1933 br.ttles ended in ties.

There were no Purple balloons billowing their way across the clear November skies above Dyche stadium at Northwestern university last night. Neither were there any swaggering columns of visitors marching through the streets of Evanston singing joyfully, We're from I-O-W-A-Y, out where the tall corn grows." The reason was that the 22d foot gan eleven stood in tne path ot Ohio State's march to a half share of the Big Ten football championship today, but it didn't mean anything.

Except for a thawed field, the setting of the hilarious spectacle was per been the most successful campaign Notre Dame has enjoyed since the late Knute Rockne developed a national championship squad in 1930. Come the Minute Men. Southern California, which held a 6 to 0 lead at the half, was dangerous until the two minute men went to work for Notre Dame. After that last Notre Dame rush, a typical 1935 finish, the Trojans were not quite sure whether they had been hit by a tidal wave, an onrushing express, a falling skyscraper or a combination of all three. fect, blazing with sunshine which eraled the Dartmouth delegation.

Princeton Gets Going. The Dartmouth touchdown, indeed, seemed to be the spark that ignited the Princeton fire, for almost immediately the Tigers cut loose, pushed over a touchdown of their own and went on from there, leaving Dartmouth literally stuck in the mud. Dartmouth's passing attack was a washout, due as much to the slippery condition of the field and the inability of its passers to handle the mud-encrusted ball as to the plodding per Checked in the first quarter by a stubborn Wisconsin line and playing against a handicapping east wind so that the Badgers had advantage in kicking, the Gophers pulled away to a 7 to 0 lead before the intermission by driving 31 yards in four plays. Then, in the third period, which opened with a touchdown run on the kickoff, Minnesota manufactured two more touchdowns and added as many more in the last quarter before relaxing and according the despairing Badgers the consolation of a touchdown by passes. Until these closing minutes, in which Wisconsin completed four forward passes, the Badgers had not made a first down nor penetrated Minnesota territory under their own power.

cheered the Hoosiers much and had Purdue feeling all right, too. The In solation. They still can boast of an 86 to 0 triumph registered in 1902 and a 40 to 0 conquest In 1005. The Buckeyes, ot course, were trying to outdo the 40 to 0 victory fashioned here a week ago by the title sharing Minnesota Gophers, but they couldn't make it. To this end they turned loose every trick in their bag and made fresh replacements right up to the final few seconds of play, but satisfaction was denied them.

Battle for Goal Posts. The fight of team against team was diana score didn't come until the sun had retired. Winning Pass Is Simple Affair. This 38th meeting of the state's two Louisiana State, 56; Southvveste a sistence of the Princetonians in cover Big Ten entrants was a nip and tuck ing receivers. With defeat impending, 6 to 0, Berwanger late in the third period received a punt from Les Lindberg at the center of the field and shook off five Illinois tacklers along the route of a 43 yard run to Illinois' one yard line, where he went to his knees as the result of Ken Nelson's final dive.

Jay It Over. Then Berwanger, who also calls the signals, generously elected to give Warren Skoning who had made short, sure gains through the opposing line all afternoon, credit for the touchdown. Twice Skoning dived into a pack of desperately charging Illini, but the final mark was still a foot away. On third down. Jay himself vaulted high over the crouching tangled combatants and rolled into the end zone for the tying touchdown.

Now came the important point after touchdown. With Omar Fareed holding the ball, Berwanger took his position for the place kick. It sailed straight and true over the bar for the point that spelled Chicago's victory. Even the majority of Illini rooters among the 12,000 fans present did not seem to begrudge the Chicago leader his hour of triumph in his final appearance, disappointed though they were that Les Swede Lindberg could not have had the satisfaction that went to Berwanger. Passes that Mile Quota.

Eerwanger entered the game lacking 33 yards of a mile of ball toting while wearing the Maroon of Chicago. Within 9 minutes from the opening kickoff he had reached the much sought figures. During the game he carried the ball 26 times for a net gain of 101 yards, going far over the top of his quota of 33 yards. While intoning this hymn of praise to Chicago's captain, there were other Maroons contributing to a victory which easily might have gone the other way despite 11 first downs to the Maroons to 3 for the Illini. The Maroons gained 192 to 23 yards for the Illini from rushing.

Skoning kept puncturing the center of the Illinois line for short gains, taking much of the burden off his captain. Skoning was also exceptionally brilliant in defense. Nyquist Checks Illini Passes. Then there was Ewald Nyquist of Puockford, also playing his final game. Nyquist three times in succession intercepted Illinois forward passes attempted in the final period, nullifying the valiant efforts of an Illini squad which never quit trying to overcome that one point margin.

Now for the other side of the picture and the crippled Les Lindberg, whom the Illini wished to honor, as well as Capt. Chuck Galbreath and El Sayre, who sat on the bench with a broken jaw. It was Lindberg's beautiful punt of 72 yards net which fell dead at Chicago's 3 yard line which put the Maroons in the hole and paved affair, with each side having its flurries of heroics, only to be stopped by Minnesota Blocks and Blocks. Wisconsin frequently stopped Min counter heroics, until the conquering maneuver. The winning pass was an elemental affair, but it clicked a mile a minute.

There were less than three minutes to play, the score was 14 to 13 for Notre Dame and Southern California was pressing deeply into Irish territory when the two minute men swept into action. Glenn Thompson of Carlsbad, shot a pass intended for a Trojan end that would have changed the complexion of this story, if it had connected.

The reason it didn't is one light, but there were others a whole series of them. As soon as the last pistol bark let the G0.000 spectators know the game was over, Ohio State rooters swarmed on the field with the idea of ripping the goal posts from their moorings. nesota's line attack by a preponderance of defenders, shifting a balanca of strength to repel these thrusts Yet, Minnesota flashed superior block and the simple pass by Walker and the coordinating catch and unob ing to protect George Roscoe when he smashed through for a 30 yard structed dash by Huffman caught the Michigan defenders, probably dis Purdues fiatfooted.

N.

TJ. Ties for Fifth. Because neither team could cross the other's goal line, the Wildcats from Northwestern dropped into a tie for fifth place in the race for the Western conference championship. The Hawkeyes dropped down into eighth place. Such goings on call for no wild outbursts of enthusiasm.

The things that everybody thought would happen didn't happen at all. Oze Simmons, the black jack-rabbit from the prairie states, didn't break loose and make any of his famous runs. Neither did he gain more yards than a good average half back should gain in this sort of a battle. To puncture the stubborn Wildcat defense Capt. Dick Crayne of the Hawkeyes had to come to the rescue of the colored star.

Practically single-handed, while charging behind a hard playing Iowa line, he almost scored twice for Iowa. Don Heap, Northwestern's will o' the wisp half back, didn't get away for any long runs either. He was hit so hard by an Iowa tackier that he left the game suffering from a broken rib not long after the encounter had started. Neither did Bob Swisher break loose and run wild, for he, too, went to the infirmary with a twisted ankle not long after he had relieved Heap. Game Draws 30,000.

Still 30,000 rooters thrilled to the hard playing spectacle and even up to within the last second of play they still were firmly convinced that some of that boundless energy would break loose and turn the gloom of one team, at least, into a ray of sunshine. The injuries which put Heap and Swisher out of the battle came late in the first quarter. Heap had been going in great style. The game was hardly three minutes old when he hit through right tackle for ten yards. Again a little later he intercepted a long Iova pass.

He shook off one the defeat, rallied to the defense. cort Rudy Gmitro for an 80 yard dash son in the closing periods, particu The goal posts at the north end of for the final score. larly in the open field.

was no weak Southern California eleven Notre Dame encountered today. For the edification of the 50,000 the Trojans presented two fine backs in Dave Davis and Glenn Thompson for all was in progress. Fists swung through the air and youths dropped to the ground. Others were there to take their places. The milling, in which there must have been 500 seeking a part, went on indefinitly.

In alertness, Minnesota also dominated the game. While the cold stiffened players' fingers so that Throughout, Dartmouth tried eleven passes, of which only four clicked for a total gain of 42 yards. Princeton tried one pass and completed it, a short heave that netted five yards. Johnny Handrahan, who stood head and shoulders above the Dartmouth team, scored the lone touchdown for the green shirts. He did it after Dartmouth had pulled a Statue of Liberty play, on which Frank Nairne, right half back, advanced from the Princeton 25 yard line to the 1 yard stripe.

Handrahan then cracked through right guard for the score. White Scores on 34 Yard Eun. Taking the kickoff after that touchdown, Princeton breezed down the field for the tally that tied the count at 6 to 6. White finished the drive with a 34 yard dash. Taking the ball, he knifed through right tackle, reversed his field and clod-hopped his way through the mud to the Green goal.

Sandbach kicked a perfect placement to give the Tigers a 7 to 6 lead. In the second period, Princeton started another touchdown drive from its 35 yard line. Garry Levan slithered around the Dartmouth ends, and Kaufman plodded through the tackles. Kaufman broke through tackle, reversed pretttily, and raced 34 yards to the 6 yard mark. Two plays later he hit over right guard for the touchdown.

The mud began to take its toll, and both sides bogged down, unable to and a line that in the first half was outcharging Notre Dame's and sifting fumbles were frequent, the Gophers into plays like projectiles. In this stage of the battle there wasn't much ing for slicker stuff and that was their downfall. Purdue, perhaps, enjoyed a slight edge in the first half, and made four first downs to three by the men from Bloomington. But it was different in the second half, even omitting the touchdown play, as Purdue made but one first down and Indiana made three. Here's Plug for Officials.

Both lines were sturdy, aside from the time that Huffman got through uncovered for the bacon play. Indiana was able to gain only in spurts and the same was true of Purdue. Aside from these spurts, the lines tolerated no monkey business. Indiana made 78 yards from scrimmage and Purdue made 112. The game was well officiated.

The referee and head linesman were gents we thought slow at Northwestern last Saturday, a fact which we printed with great daring. The pair was very rapid today. Finally the Michigan lads noticed that the south goal posts and the nearby flagpole were swaying peril chance for Notre Dame interference to form and Irish backs were unable to gain any real momentum. Trojan arms smacked them down with such because Wally Fromhart, quarter back for Notre Dame, leaped ahead of the receiver and intercepted the toss. He streaked across the field diagonally to the west side lines where Woj-cihovski, Shakespeare, Carideo and Solari formed a screen of interference which he followed down field for 72 yards, where he was trapped by James Sutherland, California half back on the 8 yard line.

On the next play Bill Shakespeare, who proved today he ranks among Notre Dame's all time greats, raced around his left end for the touchdown that clinched victory. And it was Fromhart who cleared the path for him by taking out the last Trojan tackier. What a Ball Club The lineup that concluded the season for Notre Dame was an old fashioned Notre Dame eleven, a team of brawn, brain, speed, and punch, with a back field that looked like a million dollars and a line that would have assayed at least half a million even in a falling market. Notre Dame's blocking, ineffective in the first half, was the best of the sea- ously. A detachment of them was dispatched to defend that sector.

They were outnumbered. The south goal fell to the victors. Meanwhile the suddenness that from the distance it seemed as if their legs were being chopped from under them by a giant retrieved six of their own eight mis-plays and all three of Wisconsin's fumbles. Gophers Excel In All Phases. Roscoe, in his final game, turned in an excellent kicking exhibition.

In brief, there was no phase of gridiron warfare in which Minnesota did not prove itself worthy of holding a conference title and claiming first rank among the nation's teams. Tha yards gained from scrimmage, Minnesota, 209; Wisconsin, 13, is proof of the Gophers' power, and while Wisconsin had a slight advantage in distance gained by passes, in justice to Minnesota, this might not have beea posts at the opposite end of the gridiron remained intact, but only after more than a half hour of punching, pushing, and charging by exuberant grass hook.
