The Wolverines won, 16–7, securing a tie with undefeated Iowa for the Big Ten championship. The 1922 Minnesota team was led by Earl Martineau, who was a first-team halfback on the New York Tribune's 1922 College Football All-America Team (and who later served as an assistant coach at Michigan from 1938–1945). In the first quarter, Minnesota recovered a fumble at Michigan's eight-yard line, and Otis McCreary ran for a touchdown. Ray Eklund drop-kicked for the extra point, and Minnesota led, 7–0. In the second quarter, Martineau punted from his own endzone, and the ball rolled out of bounds at the Minnesota 17-yard line. Michigan drove to the one-yard line on runs by Harry Kipke and Franklin Cappon. Kipke ran it in on a sweep around Minnesota's left end for the touchdown. Paul Goebel's place-kick for the extra point was low, and Minnesota's lead was narrowed to 7–6. Late in the second quarter, Cappon dove into the endzone from the one-foot line, and Jack Blott converted the extra point from a place-kick. Michigan led 13–7 at halftime. In the second half, Michigan held Minnesota scoreless and intercepted five of Martineau's passes (three by Kipke and two by Jackson Keefer). Michigan's final points were scored after a pass from Uteritz to Bernard Kirk took the ball to Minnesota's 17-yard line. The drive was halted, and Blott kicked a field goal from the 20-yard line.Michigan Team Is Given An Ovation By Student Body: Yost Says He Has NO Idea When He Will Retire as Head Coach Owosso Argus-Press November 27, 1922 8 https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=v88oAAAAIBAJ&sjid=VgYGAAAAIBAJ&pg=1935,2349392&dq=michigan+minnesota&hl=enWolverines Beat Gophers, 16 to 7: Michigan Retains Its Claim, With Iowa, to 1922 Big Ten Championship The New York Times November 26, 1922 https://www.nytimes.com/1922/11/26/archives/wolverine-beat-gophers-16-to-7-michigan-retains-its-claim-with-iowa.html?sq=michigan+%26+minnesota&scp=3&st=p1923 Michiganensian University of Michigan 1923 225 http://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/moa/aag4364.1923.001/241?q1=michiganensian&view=image&size=100 References Minnesota Category:Minnesota Golden Gophers football seasons Minnesota Golden Gophers football
