Gilbert Undergoes Operation on Arm Shortly Before Game and His Loss Ruins Michigan Zuppke's Men Spring Surprise. 1 BY HARRY BULLION. CHAMPAIGN, Oct. 29.

Michigan came to the end of the golden road of victory this afternoon and found there the cold, gray wall that barred her path to undisputed laurels in the realm of the Western conference. On the sod of Memorial stadium the haughty Maize and Blue were trailed today before a vast throng of Illinois home-comers. One touchdown would have made of the Wolverines a beaten eleven, and two that the Suckers scored made the reverse more -decisive. Until this afternoon no eleven had crossed the goal line defended by the men of Michigan, but today that charm was smashed and the ll'lini, scoring twice on flukes, made their claims to the "Big Ten" championship clearer and cast a heavy pall over the men of W'ieman, who even in' the face of defeat today fought courageously but t.

It matters not that the first touchdown was the direct result of a punt fumbled by Fuckelwarts or that the second one took Its Impetus from a blocked kick that rolled back of the goal line, where "Pea-Duta" Schulta fell on the ball. Flukes play a large part in this moit uncertain of college sports and Michigan happened this day to be the victim of ths pranks of fate.

Unlveraitr of Detroit had two ambitions In tta football gams hsrs this afternoon, but In beating Michigan State, 24 to 7, realised only one of them. Tha Titans expected to conquer tha Spartans, and they expected to do It more decisively than University of Michigan did several weeks ago. L'ntll the final minutes of the contest It appeared ss though both ambitions would be attained. But, with the Titans In the lead by 24 points, smith uncorked a long puss to Drew, wno crossed the Lielroit goal line. wi Peculiar play.

The urn-plre had detected a Titan offside and blew his whistle, but Drew, after slopping momentarily, suddenly made a dnsh for ths goal and went over unmolested.

Detroit did not wait long to take the offensive at tha at Mr, mnA In eight plays sfter ths opening kick-off, scored Its first touchdown. Ths Titans had gained the hall on their own 41-yard line.

But, their offensive taking on new leas of life In the final quarter, they scored two more touchdowns and had a third In their grasp when Maloney fumbled the ball over ths last chalk mark as the final whlstl blew. Detroit boasted too much power for the Soartnna. tn the Titans employed tha most ceptive attack they have used thia season. At times, State did not know jusi wnat to do and looked comparatively weak In the face of an overhead attack that Included almost every type of pass conceivable.

Flashing a barrage of lateral passes and long dashes, ths University of Missouri again successfully Invaded the ranks of the Ulg Ten today by trouncing Northwestern, 14 to 19.
