It was the second time this season the Gophers had met Chicago and they expected even less trouble than before. But the Maroons. led by be-spectacled Joe j Stamps, rangy sophomore forward, went ahead at halftime. 17 to 15. and held on until the final 10 minutes. Consistent scoring by Gordon Addington. Johnny Kttndla and Gordon Spear gradually moved the Gophers into the lead as Chicago’s attack fell apart under rigid Minnesota guarding. It was 13 minutes before the Maroons scored a second half field goal. lowa's fifth place Hawkeyes also rallied in the second half to defeat South Dakota. 35 to 30. in the i thrills and a comedy were also enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. Chester BrodbecK and family spent Sunday afternoon with Mr. ißrodbeck’s brother, Mr. .-.nd Mrs. Roy Browbeck and family of near Willshire. Ohio.
