to|Western Conference history. We

won it, 2 to 0, on a play that {llustrates fully the ferocity with which the game was fought, It started out and was most of the way a punting duel between Eckersall and Johnny Garrels, The “break” came when Eckersall kicked over the Michigan goal line. He had set the play up in a preliminary way by running out from behind his own goal line to our 32-yard line from kick formation, illustrating once again his astounding ability to think quickly, The over-the-goal pun followed shortly afterward. Denny Clark, substitute halfback for scooped up the ball and started off to the left. As Chicago runners rushed down on him, Clark crossed the goal line diagonally but just after he stepped onto the playing fleld, Art Badenoch, Maroon right tackle, tackled him low and Captain Mark Catlin, right end, dashed in and caught him high and pushed him behind the goal line for a safety. That meant the

{ball game that has gone inte his-|

tory as one of the most famous of all time. For years, Clark was blamed for his “fallure” and the criticism and ridicule was erroneously said to have affected his later life.

» # nn PURD had not beaten Chicago in 18 years, but they had a great tein that season and the

newspapers headlined my respect| for them, “Stagg Fears Purdue” they cried. Andy 8mith was coach of the Boilermakers, and he had the mighty Elmer Oliphant striding at his best. He had Applegate, O'Brien and Finn in the backfield with Oliphant, and two great line blockers in Glossup and Usher. ‘The week before Purdue had tied Wisconsin, 1912 champions, 7 to 7. The teams were equally matched in physical ability, The game was hard-fought and fierce all the way. On one occasion, Norgren, on the second All-Amer-ica the year before, unleashed such a hard flying tackle that Oliphant did a complete cartwheel in the air, landing on his feet but

ten yards toward his own goal before realizing it. Pete Russell, now president of the Harris Trust and Savings Bank in Chicago, drop-kicked two fleld goals for our margin of victory. { Great days — yes — there weré many and more to come, both in victory and defeat,
