GOPHERS BEAT WISCONSIN TO RETAIN TITLE Minnesota Swamps Badgers For Big Ten Championship Chicago. Nov. 21.—(U.R)—For ’he ’ fourth tjme in five years, the big ten paid tribute today to a Minnesota football team. It wasn't a willing tribute when word first flashed over the mid- ( west that Minnesota had crushed Wisconsin and gained another undisputed championship. The Gophers had lost to Northwestern and Notre Dame. They had gone downhill fast after defeating two dangerous contenders — Michigan and Purdue. But behind that final victory at , Madison was a story of courage that won the title. For 60 minutes Saturday.. Minnesota was a great football team and courage did it, I not power. * Os the four championship teams ' Bernie Bierman built at MinneSbta since 1934. this one had less talent than any. and more do-or- ■ die spirit than all of them put to- j gether. The team was slow, lack-. ed reserves and a climax runner, j It was a decided underdog against the vastly improved Badgers, but I early in the first period its fast | charging and crisp blocking began I to mow the Badgers down and i finally produced a 21 to 0 triumph. It was such a convincing victory. Minnesota's critics were stilled for the first time since the Gophers pulled out that 7 to 6 game against Michigan in the last minutes of play early in October. Michigan, winding up its most successful season since the championship days of 1933, insured Minnesota its undisputed title by rolling over Ohio State. 18 to 0, and moved Into a second place tie with three victories, one defeat and a tie. Purdue also had the same record. picking up the third conference victory of an excellent seas-

The hepless Maroons j were the only team in the league ; unable to win a conference game. | There were plenty of fireworks : all season long, although there j was no powerhouse eleven to re- , place the once invincible Gophers. Minnesota was the conquering hero until stopped by Northwestern. 6 to 3. Then Northwestern, tied by Ohio State but possessing a line apparently impregnable, went to pieces against Wisconsin and lost. 20 to 13. Michigan held the key to the title for a week until it rammed against Northwesterns defenses and was held to a tie. Finally, on the last Saturday of the season. Minnesota made its comeback and it tvas enough to wdn the championship. The 1938 season also produced rumblings against two coaches — j Iril Tubbs at lowa and for the first time in 26 years, against Bob Zuppke of Illinois. Tubbs won I two games in his two years at lowa I and became a target in midyear. Zup's material hasn't been good. | but he won't quit. “I’ll step out when I've got ! someting good to turn over to a young man. not till then," he said. “And when I quit it'll be for good.

Teams suffering their first defeats were the Yellow Jackets, Commodores, Geneva and Kirkland. —oOo — Both Decatur teams were dropped Friday night, but both after only the toughest kind of battles. The Yellow Jackets lost a onepoint overtime decision to Marion, and the Commodores were downed by three points by St. Mary's of Anderson. What made the defeats doubly hard to take, was the fact that both the local fives held good leads at half time. —oOo — The Thanksgiving Day holi-

day means no vacation for Adams county teams. Nine games are on the card for the week, two Tuesday night, five Wednesday night (Thanksgiving Eve), and two Friday night. The Decatur Yellow Jackets will piay two games this week, both away from home. Wednesday night, the Jackets travel to Garrett to meet the Railroaders in a northeastern Indiana conference clash. Friday night, the Jackets tangle with an intra-county foe, the Geneva Cardinals at Geneva. The Decatur Commodores will be in action only onee this week, playing at home Friday night against the Catholic high school team from Celina. Ohio. Two games are on the card Tuesday night, Berne at New Haven and Monmouth at Poling. Five games Wednesday night are Yellow Jackets at Garrett, Spencerville at Monmouth, Hartford at Bryant, Pleasant Mills vs. Jefferson at the Commodore gymnasium, and Kirkland at Jackson. Some interesting sidelights on the Yellow Jacket-Marion thriller at Marion Friday night are copied here from Saturday’s issue of the Mraion Leader-Tribune: Nearly 5,000 persons, the largest crowd ever to witness an opening game of the Marion high school ' basketball team, jammed Memori ial Coliseum last night to see the I Giants win a thrilling 33-to-32 over- ! time battle from Decatur and to ' take part in the annual All-Marion night program of the Greater Marlon Association. “The game was the climax of the activities that were sponsored bjf the GMA and arranged by the publicity committee of the organization to create interest in the

But no matter how successful the i team may be this year, even if it I should win the state championship, it will not be required to play a harder game than that played at Memorial Coliseum last night. "Nearly 5.000 ‘first nighters’ saw the game, and as the game reached the white-heat stage in the fourth period, the cheering and enthusiasm reached tournament form. "Marion plainly showed the lack of experience in actual competition. Decatur had the advantage of a game’s experience, and although the Giants were heavier ! and taller than their upstate op- ' ponents, the Yellow Jackets show- | ed a superior style of play in most departments of the game,"
