Halstead's Field Goal Lost
As Tigers Score Late TD
R I

* By The Associated Press
KNOXVILLE - T e n n e sse e
stunned Auburn, the nation's'
third-ranking team, 3-0 yester-
day and snapped college foot-
ball's longest unbeaten streak at,
24 ,games.'
A 20-yard field goal by end Cot-
ton Letner provided the Vols mar-
gin of victory before a sun-
splashed crowd of 40,500.
Tennessee, outweighed about 20
pounds per man, put up such a
stubborn defense that the favored
Tigers were never able to pene-
trate the Vol 20.
In fact, Auburn got to the 20
only; once and that threat was
halted by safetyman Bill Majors'
pass interception - on of two Ma-
jors made at vital stages of the
bruising battle.
OSU SCRAPES BY
COLUMBS - Ohio State's
ground eating Buckeyes were
forced into the airways y'esterday
to pull out a 14-13 victory over
Duke's Blue Devils in an inter-
sectional game before 82,834.
The defeat wrecked Duke's
tradition of never having lost to
a Big Ten team. After Ohio State
had scored on its first attempt
going 59 yards in eight plays to
send sophomore halfback Bob
Ferguson in for a score the game
was a drab affair until the explo-
sive fourth quarter.: when Duke
scored twice and Ohio once.

ing, and Bon Burton's electrifying
runs yesterday charged up North-
western for a shattering 45-13
defeat of Oklahoma, the nation's
second-ranked football team.
It was the Sooner's worst lick-
ing since. Oklahoma A&M handed
them a 47-0 trouncing in 1945. It
also marked the worst Oklahoma
drubbing under coach Bud Wil-
kinson - the previous being a
34-13 setback by Texas in 1947,
Wilkinson's first year.
SOPHS HELP HOOSIERS
BLOOMINGTON - Indiana
hauled the cover off a great crop
of sophomores yesterday and de-
feated a fumbling Illinois team
20-0 in the Big Ten football open-
er for both teams. Rain poured all
afternoon.
Ted Smith, veteran Indiana
tailback, knocked Illinois off bal-
ance with a 51-yard runback of
the opening kickoff. The Hoosiers
scored 10 plays later from, the Il-
lini one and then let the sopho-
mores strut.
Willie ° Hunter, a 195-pound
tailback from. Memphis, plowed
16 yards the first time he got the
ball and tallied Indiana's second
touchdown from the Illini 7 at the
start of the second quarter.
John Henry Jackson, another
sophomore tailback from Colum-
bus, Ga., passed 18 yards to junior

pass for the extra point left the
score at 7-6 as-the quarter ended,
but wasn't as important in deter-
mining the final result as first was
thought.
Drive Begins
Michigan's second touchdown
drive began on its own 45. After
McRae made no yardage off' right
tackle and -a Noskin pass to Kane
was incomplete, the senior quar-
terback hit Brad Myers on the
Missouri 20.
The attack appeared to be
stalled again when, on a third-
and-nine situation, end Jim Kor-
win missed another pass. However,
new life was restored to the des-
perate Wolverines when interfer-
ence was ruled on the 10.'
McRae's signal was again called.
He cut over right tackle and
pranced once more into scoring
territory with 6:06 remaining in
the game.
Pass Goes Astray
And as before, Nos'kin's at-
tempted pass f'or the two extra
points, which would have knotted
the count at 14-14, was batted
astray. Michigan's second - string
right guard Paul Poulos snared the
deflected ball but fell just inches
short of the goal line.
McRae's unharnessed energy and
spirit was transferred to the rest
of the team which had spectacu-.
larly and suddenly decided that
defeat was not for them.
A vicious tackle of Missouri's
Phil Snowden on the kickoff re-
sulted in the quarterback's fumble.'
Halstead, who was everywhere and,
did everything yesterday, recov-
ered on the Tiger 37. But fate was
at its stubbornest as far as Michi-
gan was concerned. The Wolver-
ines were ruled offside and another
kickoff was required.
Repeat Performance
After one play from scrimmage,
Snowden and Halstead presented.
a repeat performance of their spe-
cial play, much to the delight of
the frantically-partisan gathering.
The Michigan Junior jumped on
the Snowden - fumbled ball, this
time on the Missouri 23.
With the clock winging along,
and Michigan's offensive machine
again stalled at fourth down and
two yards to go, Halstead booted a
32-yard field goal from a slight
angle.
The Tigers then squeezed 11
plays into the remaining three
minutes to even its season record
after being dropped by Penn State
last week, 19-8.
It was a heartbreaking loss for
Michigan, but by no means a bitter

one. For the Wolverines were a
good team yesterday and this was
not the way they were classified
before the game got underway.
In the second half they displayed
sparkle at times and an enormous
amount of desire.
And although they lost the game
on the scoreboard, where final
won and lost records are tabulated,
they dominated the battle in sta-
tistics against this team that is
rated second-best in the Big Eight
Conference.
Statistics Given
In first downs, it was Michigan
17, Missouri 11. In total yardage,
Michigan had 312, Missouri 249.
Michigan ran 74 plays,, Missouri
54. They did not lose possession via
the fumble route, Missouri did
once.
In only one department did
Michigan stand second-best. This
is conceivably where the game was
lost.
Four passes were intercepted by
Missouri, none by Michigan. Three
of the steals came when the Wol-
verines were on the go and smoth-
ered hopes at important times.
Haas Catches Pass
For instance, in the fourth quar-
ter, Haas picked off a Noskin aerial
on the Missouri 26.
At the beginning of the game,
Michigan's first series of plays
were abruptly interrupted when
Norris Stephenson grabbed an-
other Noskin pass on the Missouri
33.
From that grab came the Tigers'
first score of the day. On the last
of six plays, West sprinted around
left end, evaded five Michigan de-
fenders and went 46 yards for a
stunningly-quick Missouri lead. Ed
Mehrer's placement put the score
at 7-0, where it stood for the re-
mainder of the comparatively dull
first half.
Two other interceptions in the
half allowed Michigan to pile up
the yardage statistics-wise, but not
in the scoring column

*SOUTH *BEND - Don White, a

Joe Kuharich.
His squad showed the 56,746
spectators a varied, hard-charging
offense. The key man in the at-
tack was White, a 21-year-old
senior from Haverhill, Mass., who
filled in at quarterback for the in-

ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER DOLLAR
Today I begin my sixth year of writing this column for the
makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro Cigarettes. For this I
get money.
Not, let me hasten to state, that payment is necessary. "Sirs,".
I said a few days ago to the makers of Philip' Morris and Marl-
boro, "if I can introduce America's college men and women to
Philip Morris and Marlboro, and thus enhance their happiness,
heighten their zest, upgrade their gusto, magnify their cheer,
and broaden their bliss, there is no need to pay me because I am
more than amply rewarded."
We wept then. I'm not ashamed to say it. WE WEPT! I
wish the wiseacres who say big business is cold and heartless
could have been there that day. I wish they could have seen
the great, shimmering tears that splashed on the board room
table. We wept, every man jack of us. The makers wept-the
secretaries wept-I wept-my agent, Clyde Greedy, wept. We
wept all.
T'No, no!" cried the makers. "'We insist on paying you.5

"Oh, very well," I said, and the gloom passed like a summer
shower. We laughed and we lit Philip Morrises and Marlboros-
and some of us lit Alpines-which is a brand-new cigarette from
the makers of Philip Morris and Marlboro-a fine new cigarette
with a light tou ch of menthol and the rich taste of choice tobaccos
and the longest filter yet devised. And if you are one who likes
a fine new cigarette with a light touch of menthol and the rich
taste of choice tobaccos and the longest filter yet devised, you
would do well to ask for new king-size Alpines. If, on the other
hand, you do not like menthol but do like better makin's and
a filter that, does what it's built for, ask for Marlboro. Or, ifyou
don't like filters at all, but only mildness, ask for Philip Morris.
Any way you play it, you're a winner.
But I digress. "Will you," said the makers of Philip Morris,
Marlboro and Alpine, "write about the important issues that
occupy the supple young minds of college America this year in
your column?"
"But of course," I replied, with a kindly chuckle.
"And will you," asked the makers, "from time to time say a
