The thrilling triumph started tho Clophers on their way toward an other national championship, and aalely protected their undefeated rec ord of three successive years. Minnesota has rolled up a record of 38 gtralKht games without defeat. but four ties were mixed with vic tories In 1933. Since the last tie, the Gophers have won 18 In a row. T.1 big Interactional battle to day was A tosa-up until the final period when, tho Minnesota warriors, making their own broaks, and tnklrm advantage of them, put over tho win ning touchdown on a perfectly exo outed pass. Just when It looked like Washing ton might forge ahead, with tho ball In possession of tho Huskies on the Minnesota 20-yard line, big Earl Svondaon came from nowhere to In tercept a long pass and the national ohamplons wore off to the races. They punted, hoped for a break, and got It. Byron Halnos, Washing ton's cracker-Jack triple throater. tumbled a punt and Boy Antll re covered for Minnesota on tho Wash ington 30-yard lino. Taking to the air for tho first time, Clarence Thompson wasted one pass, but the next, Julius Alphonso to Charles Wilkinson, clicked for 20 to carry the Oophers to Washington's 10-yard strlpo. The Huskies know another pass iwaa coming but It was creenod so veil they couldn't do a thing about It. Halfback Andy Uran, who played as i substitute, shot tho ball over the goal lino and IlayKlng, an end. hauled It down In the clear. Washington never did get the up per hand, although tile Huskies knocked off twice as many flrkt downs as Minnesota, After tho Huskies had marched 05 yards to Minnesota's 25-yard lino be fore tho Qophors got their hands on the ball In the opening period, a 112 Bllng lateral halted tho drlvo. Jimmy Cain fumbled the lateral Irom Halnos and Dwlght Reed recov ered for Minnesota. The break gave William Malhony a chanco to get away for tho longest run of tho day, a 31-yard dash around right end to the Washington 22-yard lino, and tho Oophora kept going un til Whitman Rork scored at tho start of the second period. Alphonno and Matheny took turns erarklng the Washington lino and they got wither- threo yards of tho goal lino before the first period ended. . Starting the second Uram tucked for one, and Rork ploughed through center for tV first touch down of the hattlo, Washington came back with a ven geance In the third after It got the advantage on another break of the game.

Oregon State's threatened running attack was never permitted to get un derway, and Joe "The Gray Ohost" star Beaver hnlf back who led the northerners to a 13 to 7 victory over Troy last year, had little opportunity to show his wares. A long pass from Captain Johnny Alexander to Bob Mountain was good for 08 yards and the only Beaver score In the last period.

The old grads boasted such former gridiron stars as Ben Harrell, Hcrm Newland, "Racy" Moore and Al Stoehr from the 1028 "wonder team" of Prink Calllson's, and a batch of fast charg ing lineman and backs from subse quent high school teams. Most of the scoring and most of the excitement came In the last five minute of play. Tim grads scored first in the second quarter when Todd recovered a high school fumble on tho 20 yard line. Dick Lewis romp ed to the 10 before being run out of bounds, and the alumni was pen alised 10 yards for holding shortly after. Ghelardl passed to Simmons completed on tho 10, and the red headed end ran to the three. Plcht ner bucked It over for the score, but fumbled when he tried to duplicate for the extra point. The ball see-sawed In mid field for tho remainder of the half and in the third quarter. A desperate Alumni bid for a touchdown was turned back In that frame when Olson, long legged high school half back transfer from Nebraska un leashed one of the longest and most nearly perfect punts ever seen at old Van Scoyoc field. The kick tow ered high from the 20 yard line and twisted 70 yards on the fly before it hit on the Alumni 10 yard stripe and rolled over the goal line. With four minutes left In the game and the high school on the Alumni 20 yard stripe, threo attempts to gain were thwarted by a hard charg ing line. With fourth down coming up Sakralda rifled a pass over the center, an opponent knocked It sky rocketing Into Opow's hands, and tli big guard romped the Interven ing 11 yards to score. Snkroida'a buck into the line failed by Inches of being over. The high school team looked good at times, with fumbled and muffed passe doing much to undo their own efforts, btit on the whole they, gave great promise of futuro'Btrength, The Alumni had two strong teams, and alternated them by quarters so to have fresh men on tho field at all times. - ' With the score tied at fl-atl, the high school kicked to Dick Lewis, who returned 12 yards to the 35. Ohelardi's pass to Simmons was good for 10, and on a cut-back on tho next play Lewis broke Into the open and reeled off yardage to the one yard line where Ettlnger overhauled and downed him after a 114-yard run. by far tho longest of tho game. Ghelardl blocked two men who threatened to catch Lewis on the run. GhelardTs pass to Simmons in the end zone netted the extra point.

It was all College of the Pacific In the first half and Callforna seemed baffled by the new formations and plays from 74-year-old Coach Amoa Alonzo StAgg's bag of tricks.

The Giants and Yankees are "In" as champions and contenders In an all-New York series. Philadelphia two bands of sandlotters have a mo nopoly on the rather doubtful cellar honors. They can't get out. But the final makeup of the com plete first division in both leagues won't be decided until the campaign hits the finish line tomorrow. The Cardnals axe sure of at least a tie for second place in the National league, but lost out on a chance to clinch the runner-up berth when they dropped a 3-3 decision to the Eeds. This left the Cubs, who were Idle, a chance to pull up to a tie in tho two games remaining for each club. -At the same time, the Phates, who also had a day off yesterday, along with the Phillies and Dodgers, still were in position to nose out the Cub for third place honors In their last two tilts. Over in the American league, the Detroit Tigers atlll can be beaten for second place either by Washington or Chicago,, while the White Sox still can overtake the Senators for third, if the Tigers come through In second.
