Game Program from Minnesota at Ohio State game played in the final season at Ohio Field on October 15, 1921. Jack Wilce's 1921 group was one of the best defensive teams he ever had at Ohio State. The Buckeyes went 1-1 to start the season, dropping a hotly contested 7-6 game to Oberlin in the second game of the season. 

Wilce was deeply disappointed in his team's effort and punished his teams with tough, late practices the following week. The underdog Buckeyes responded by embarrasing Minnesota, 27-0.  That marked the first time ever Ohio State and Minnesota met on the gridiron.

The Buckeyes outscored their opponents 110-14 in 1921, but the 14 points came in their only two losses. They finished 5-2 overall and 4-1 in the Western Conference.

The program is complete, but has a loose middle page and shows sign of previous water damage. It appears that it may have been folded in a rooters back pocket at the game with a light vertical crease.  The cover also dons the final score in pencil above the M and O, and again scored on page 19 in ink.
