Navy, which hAd exhibited nothing but a gallant defense for the first three quarters of the game, aroused itself to fighting pitch after the Hoosiers had scored. For the rest of the game the Middies launched three successive drives into Notre Dame territory, penetrating once at the six-yard line, only to lose the ball on downs. Their last offensive was broken up in the last minute of ths game, a forward pass being intercepted by Montroy, another Notre Dame substitute, after the Middles had battled their way to the 15-yard line.

This was the third successlvt defeat for the Naval academy's eleven, which has yet to score a point in three engagements with Davis and Elkins, Boston college and Notre Dame. The Sailors didn't show anything like an effective attack through the first three periods, in which they were decisively BY ALAN J. GOULD. Chicago, Oct. 13.

(A. The greatest gridiron spectacle American football has ever known furnished the back-gound for Notre Dame's comeback and a 7 to 0 triumph today over the battered forces of the United States Naval academy. Before a record breaking crowd, unofficially estimated at 122,000 and surpassing any outpouring that this historic field or any other has ever handled for football, the greeivjer3eyed warriors of Knute Rockne seized a "break" late in the third quarter and scored the only touchdown of the game early in the final period on a forward pass. A poor punt from the toe of big "Whltey" Lloyd Navy back, which took off at a queer angle and traveled only seven yards, gave Notre Dume the ball on the middle 28-yard line. The flashy Hoosler backfleld, with Jack Chevigny and John Nlemlec doing the heavy work, aided by "Billy" Dew, opened up the big charge They slanted off tackle to the 13-yard line in a succession of short thrusts, then changed goals as the gun barked to end the quarter.

The short interval gave an opportunity for Kockno to employ some strategy, which he did by sending In Colerick to replace Collins at left end. The Navy suspected that this meant a pausing- threat, but was thrown off guard perhaps, as Chevlngy and Nlemlec hit the line, bucking their way to the eight-yard mark. Expecting another thrust at the line, the Navy massed its defense In a desperate stand. Reinforcements were rushed In, but on the next play Niemlec dropped back and threw a wide, slanting pass to Colerick, who caught the ball as he stepped over the line. The scoring honors went entirely to the Hoosler substitute, for Carideo, who had replaced Brady at quarterback, in direct Faunce Crosses Line After Cut Back Through Tackle to Make Hoosiers' First and Only Touchdown Against Michigan.

BY HARRY BULLION. ANN ARBOR, Oct. 13. Michigan lost Its first Western conference 'game of the season here this afternoon, when Indiana, reputed to be lmmeasureably stronger than the Wolverines, managed to score a touchdown in the last quarter of a listless game win 6 to 0.

Indiana deserved to win on that. The Crimson might have won by even a greater score but for over-nnxiousness on two oc-carions. but It should be enough for the It "osiers to know that, for or.ee In their lifetimes a football team from Kloomington, beat the heretofore haughty Maize and Blue.

Cry If foil must, or cheer if the Impulse Kiia you, the fact that the Wolverines lack much of the power of tee elevens of 1926 and 1927 to torr.merd it cannot bo disputed. It didn't play bad football, neither did it plav good football. If It hi a better knowledge of the fundamentals of the sport of the gridiron, an eleven of no more claim to prestige than Indiana can be credited with could not have n. Had Michigan been coached to tackle better, the touchdown made by Indiana could have been avoided, fht the Wolverines missed chance after chance to bring down a runner, and it was only a matter of the law of averages that some one of the In liana runners would get iway, as i'a ince finally did, and upset piewjent, tradition and a lot of folks who hoped that, perhaps, the Maize and Blue would its loss of a week before.

NIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE, making Its first appearanca in Eby's Touchdown, Barratt't before 23,000 rooters In the first 1928 conference clash for the two teams. One touchdown In the first period, a safety in the second, and a touchdown in the third, with a point after the second touchdown, gave the Gophers their points, but their advantage was greater than the score would Indicate. A fumble on the Purdue one-yard line apparently deprived the Gophers of one touchdown and 70 yards in penalties for holding and offside had them going In the wrong direction at one stage of their greatest strength. Nagurskl Is Star. Nagurskl, the 1927 tackle, made over into a fullback, had the stands talking about Joes-ting as he drove through the line with the ball, cut down offensive opponents, and blocked in a brilliant manner to help his mates get away on tackle and end dashes.

Brockmeyer and Hovde, the two light Gopher backs, sifted through the opposition for repeated gains, the former totaling 166 yards and the latter 74 on straight ball carrying, while one of Brockmeyer'a forward passes to Hovde ended in the letter's 50-yard scamper for a touchdown. Welch Is Stopped. "Pest" Welch, was most effectively stopped on end runs, for he advanced 21 yards on eight plays and lost 13 yards on two others, but he rained forward passes and showed great punting skill. In forward passing, Purdue attempted 25, completing 10 for a total of 123 yards; Minnesota tried 11 and completed three for 74 yards, two of them going for touchdowns. Minnesota made 24 first downs on rushes and two on forward passes, as against two and seven for Purdue.

To gain this margin, the Titans never were pressed and used their regulars only a few minutes, aside from the second period when the Kentucklana' doom was sealed. The southerners, heralded as a strong combination because of a 72 to 0 victory scored In their opening game, were woefully weak and gained only three first downs, compared to 23 piled up by the Titans. From the start of play, it was evident that Louisville was no match for Dorais' forces.

13 (A. Behind its giant Indian battering ram, Mayes McLaln. Iowa's ponderous black and gold football machine started its drive for Big Ten prestige today by whipping the University of Chicago, 13 to 0, before spectators on Stagg field. Kicking, passing, plowing through the line and skirting the ends, the big Cherokee Indian, who led the nation In Individual scoring in 1926 with 253 points while at Haskell, made his Big Ten debut amid glory. Twenty-two times he carried the ball for an average of five yards.

On defense. McLain was a bulwark, stopping the Maroons time and again. His prowess, coupled with that of his running mates. Willis Glassgow and Paul Armil. and a fighting line, stamped Burt Ingwerson's eleven as a factor to be considered in the Big Ten race for the first time since the days of Duke plater, Gordon Locke and Aubrey Devine.

A tricky Ohio Stat eleven, following the ball consistently and taking advantage of Northwestern's blunders, opened Its Western conference championship campaign here today with a 10 to 0 victory over the Purple team. The defeat virtually knocked Northwestern out of the title race. The game drew 35,000 gridiron fans. The Buckeyes, with their fast, elusive backfleld, scored a touchdown in the second period and added a goal from placement In the fourth for their points. Kan F.by, stylish running left half, chalked up the first marker, when he grabbed a pass from Hol-man, a few seconds after the start of the second period, and raced 12 yards around right end for a touchdown.
