On the next play Red Grange passed to Litzneirh for the touch- down. Tackwell kicked the point. Early in the second quarter the Pack- ers scored on a pass from Lewellyn to Blood. Reb Dunn wen into the game to kick the ill-important point but failed. The only other league game of the day saw the New York Giants turn back Brooklyn, 19 to 6. Portsmouth, tuning up for the Green.

Whereas the Gophers worked’ the ball in for short shots, the Bison fired at the net from all ranges and angles, @ percentage resulting which was not in conformity with the demands of a winning team," The Bison defense was lax at times and the Gophers got in close to sink several short shots right in at the baseline. Minnesota, in contrast, per- mitted exceptionally few short shots and had few shots and broke up a creditable percentage of those fired from longer range.
