THE MICHIGAN D AILY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1935 Notre Dame's Merriwell Finish Nips Ohio State, 18 To 13 Qhio 'Scourge' Vanquished By Halfback Pilney Dazzling Uphill March To Victory By Irish Leaves Spectators In A Lather COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 2 - (P) - In a melodramatic finish that has had few parallels in college football his- tory, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame snatched victory from defeat this afternoon and scattered the na- tional championship dreams of Ohio State's famed "Scarlet Scourge." The final score was 18 to 13 as Notre Dame came from behind in the final period to score three touch- lowns, barely miss a fourth, and leave a tremendously excited capacity crowd of 81,108 spectators literally imp with the excitement of one of the greatest comebacks any gridiron has witnessed in years. There was only one period to play when "Handy Andy" Pilney of Chi- cago, hero of the dazzling uphill fight to triumph, touched off the eworks that turned the tide. There was a scant five minutes left when Notre Dame's desperate aerial bid for the tying touchdown failed a yard short of the Ohio goal because of a fumble. The Irish fought back again, but there was less than a full minute to play when big Wayne Millner, crack Notre Dame end, pulled a long pass from Bill Shakespeare in the end zone for the deciding touchdown that wiped out the last vestige of Ohio State's first half lead. Throughout the last thrilling quar- ter, with Ohio's defense crumbling rapidly under the stabbing aerial thrusts of the Irish, Pilney was the electrifying factor in the surge of a team that simply refused to be beaten. The speedy little halfback's 26- yard return of a punt and 12-yard pass to Francis Gaul set the stage for Steve Miller to plunge the re- maining yard for Notre Dame's first touchdown early in the final period. Miller's fumble at the Ohio goal line nullified the next aerial drive engineered by Pilney from midfield, but the Irish refused to be discour- aged. They swooped back 79 yards through the air for a second touch- down, with Pilney on the receiving end of one long pass good for 37 yards and then tossing to Mike Lay- den, with the ball on Ohi's 15, for the score. Wally Fronhart's failure to place kick the extra point needed to tie the score looked fatal. The end of the game was in sight, but Notre Dame had one big punch left. Aided by a "break" near midfield where Henry Pojman, substitute center, recovered a fumble by Dick teltz, Ohio halfback, Pilney launched a decisive drive with a twisting 32- yard run through a broken field to Ohio's 19. iirple 10, Illinois 3 EVANSTON, Ill., Nov. 2. -- (P) - Don Heap, a platinum blonde who used to give Evanston cops a merry chase when they tried to keep him from getting into Dyche Stadium without a ticket, made good as a foot- ball player today by a 43-yard touch- down dash that gave Northwestern a 10 to 3 triumph over Illinois. Before a homecoming throng of 36,000 spectators, the Northwestern sophomore broke away on his win- ing run in the final quarter with the score knotted at 3 all. Taking a short lateral from Hugh Duvall, he faked a run to the left and then spurted through to the right on a twisting dash that carried him through five tacklers for the score. Minnesota 29, Purdue 7 MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 2.-(P) - Minnesota's galloping Gophers, still in tune with the victory march, wrote another score of triumph today over Purdue's Boilermakers with a 29 to 7 conquest that gave last year's na- tional champions an unbeaten string of 21 gridiron battles. George Roscoe, the hard-smashing Gopher half, scored a touchdown in the first period, but it remained for; "Touchdown Tuffy" Thompson to Notre Dame 18, Ohio State 13. Minnesota 29, Purdue 7.

Both teams lost possible touch- downs through penalties, Purdue missing a score after Tom McGan- non made a brilliant 98-yard run on the kickoff in the fourth period, only to have the ball recalled because the Boilermakers had been holding. Iowa 6, Indiana 6 IOWA CITY, Nov. 2. - (P)-- Downtrodden Indiana, twice beaten, rose up from the Big Ten football cellar like a post-Hallowe'en ghost to haunt Iowa's hopes of a conference title today by holding the Hawkeyes to a 6 to 6 tie before 20,000 rainsoaked spectators. Only Oze Simmons, the willowy- hipped Negro fullback, saved the Hawkeyes from defeat. The slippery Texas athlete whirled around his left end behind perfect interference in the third quarter for a 59-yard touch- down run. M. S. C. 12, Temple 7 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2. - (/P) - Michigan State's fighting band of Spartans took a big gamble today and won a 12 to 7 surprise decision over the hitherto unbeaten Temple University Owls. A touchdown behind as the second half opened, Coach Charlie Bach- man "shot the works" by sending his second team in against Pop War- ner's rugged powerhouse. The second stringers immediately went to work with a blinding burst of speed, and softened the Owls up for the return of the Spartan Var- sity, which came back into the battle in the final quarter and pushed over the two touchdowns that spelled vic- tory. For the entire first half and even into the third period, Temple held the upper hand. The Owls had gone into the lead midway of the opening quarter, when a pass down the middle, from Johnny Kusko to left end Ed Walker, had netted a touch- down, and Bill Dougherty's place- ment had added the point. Villanova 13, Detroit 7 VILLANOVA, Pa., Nov. 2. - (T) -' Andy Stopper, sophomore triple threat halfback of Villanova, inject- ed a story-book climax into today's homecoming day football game to whip Detroit's Titans, hurling a 19- yard forward pass to Tony Sala, standing in the end zone, giving Villanova a 13 to 7 decision over the midwestern eleven. Columbia 7, Cornell 7 ITHACA, N. Y., Nov. 2.-(P(A) - A brilliant 53-yard dash by Al Barabas and a 41-yard pass play engineered by Hack Wilson and Bus Munn, left Cornell and Columbia deadlocked at 7 to 7 in their 23rd football battle on soggy Schoelkopf Field today. Ohio State Loses Grid Spotlight To St, Marys-Fordham Classic Michigan Ends Quaker Streak Ii f Your Football Boys Are On The State Payroll,_What Of It? NEW YORK, Nov. 2. - (A') - Thenell, under a new alumni scholarship With 16-6 Win 1 NEW YORK, Nov. 2. -(R) - The football spotlight, which beamed down on Ohio State's big stadium today, shifts eastward next week with the opening of hostilities in the Big Three and St. Mary's annual inva- sion of the Polo Grounds holding the center spots. There are four-star games on tap in every section, but the East will stage the contests in which most Na- tional interest centers. At Palmer Stadium, one of the best Tiger teams since Fritz Crisler came out of the West to rejuvenate Prince- ton football, goes against a Dick Harlow-coached Harvard eleven which, despite reverses by Army and Dartmouth, is suspected of having a bag of tricks saved up especially for the Bengals. St Mary's, beaten in its only major game so far, comes all the way from Oakland to tackle a Fordham team which apparently is just beginning to click. Other Headliners Elsewhere in the East fans are of- fered engagements between Penn and Navy, Army and Pitt. Each may produce pyrotechnics. Down South the principal en- counter will be staged at Baton Rouge, where Maj. Ralph Sasse's Mis- sissippi State team, conqueror of the powerful Alabama Crimson Tide, col- lides with Bernie Moore's forward- passing outfit from Louisiana State. The last word in the aerial game may be uncorked when Abe Mickal pits his heaving skill against "Junior" Armstrong, the Mississippi sharp- shooter. The big doings in the Middle West will be at Iowa City where Minne- 'sota's powerful Gophers tackle the colored boy, Ozzie Simmons, and his Iowa colleagues in a game sure to have an important bearing on the Big Ten championships. Last year Minnesota trounced Iowa, 48 to 12, 0 Minutes but with Simmons boiling hot this season and the rest of the team vastly improved, the Hawkeyes seem set to give Minnesota a real battle. Irish On Griddle Notre Dame may be extended by a Northwestern team that looks better every time out, but Ohio State figures to breeze past Chicago. Purdue goes against Wisconsin, Missouri hopes to continue its good showing to date against Coach Biff Jones, Oklahoma team and Kansas gets a crack at Ne- braska. The Pacific Coast has two features, with California playing Washington and Stanford meeting the Giants from Santa Clara. The Southwests' headliner will be Texas vs. Baylor with Rice vs. Arkansas pushing it hard. Other leading games: Midwest-Marquette vs. Michigan State; Kansas State vs. Iowa State; Michigan vs. Illinois. South-Georgia vs. Tulane; Indi- ana vs. Maryland; Clemson vs. Ala- bama. East-Columbia vs! Syracuse; Car- negie Tech vs. Holy Cross; Yale vs. Brown. Southwest-Tulsa vs. Centenary. Far West-Washington State vs. Idaho; Oregon State vs. Oregon; Col- orado vs. Utah. Victory Makes Kip 'Dark Horse' h Conference Race keme n Th n, e October Review (Continued from Page 1) and sustained drive, with the elim- ination of the customary second- half slump, kept Michigan ahead. Renner, Sweet, Ritchie Star Offensively, Captain Renner, Ced- ric Sweet and Stark Ritchie were the spears of the attack as Renner's passes again were used to put the Wolverines in scoring position, Ritch- ie's running accounted directly for one score, and Sweet's plunging gave the Michigan team a sustained of- fensive advantage. Renner was taken from the game for the second half as the result of a leg injury which was not serious and which will not keep him from prac- ticing this week. Sweet repeatedly took the ball on his own power over the Quaker guard and carried the Pennsylvania secondary with him. Pennsylvania, on offense, showed one of the most powerful backs to op- pose Michigan this season in Frank Murray, at quarterback. Driving hard and fast, the Quaker quarter repeatedly harassed the Michigan de- fense. A pass play, with Murray throwing into the dead zone behind center, gave the Quakers a passing advantage of 94 yards to 63 yards as they completed eight out of 18. Mich- igan completed four out of 10, two of them being on their first goalward drive. For the first time during the cur- rent season, the Wolverines were on top in first downs, scoring 12 to the Quakers' 9. Nine Michigan first downs were from scrimmage and three on passes. Yards gained from scrimmage were almost even, 150 for Pennsylvania to 144 for Michigan. Defensively, the Michigan line played its best game of the season from end to end. Despite his injury, John Viergever worked with Matt Patanelli and Frank Bissell to again make the Michigan left impregnable, while Tiny Wright justified every confidence which Coach Kipke had placed in him as he and Mel Kramer held up the right. Kramer, at right tackle, played the most alert game of the day with his recovering of fumbles, of which Mich- igan had six and Pennsylvania four. l l L l i current caliber of competition in col- lege football, as well as the marked upward movement in gate receipts, has stirred upon an old debate gen- erally thought to have been buried with the Carnegie Foundation's "Bul- letin 23." Developments this week indicate the game's commercial side,- as well as the recruiting and subsidizing of star players, again is a vital topic among graduates as well as under- graduates. The prime purpose, ho*- ever, seems not so much concerned with reform as with the elimination of hypocrisy in dealing with the fun- damentals of college football produc- tion. The 1935 theme song is not concentrated upon sweetness and light, so to speak, but based on an engaging frankness. Just Be Candid In short, if the boys are on the state payroll, what of it and why not let everyone know about it? If out- standing southern colleges recruit some of their best talent from the northeast or the Middle West, why not concede it's due to enterprise in- stead of accident? If small college stars, after a year or so in the bushes, yield to offers from the bigger uni- versities, who is to dispute the ad- vantages of hgher education or bigger headlines? It isn't just a happy coincidence when you find a dozen prep school captains on the freshman team in an outstanding university. It's not op- timism when a new coach, install- ing his system, promises old grads he will show them something "next year." It's business, football business, the extent of which depends on what you have in mind. The best coach in the land can't produce without material. Ask Gil Dobie, of Cornell, or Tuss McLaughry, of Brown. Knows Where To Get 'En Dr. John J. Tigert, president of the University of Florida, knows, for in- stance, "where and how to get a Rose Bowl team." He points the finger at southern institutions of learning which have demonstrated that it can be done. But he thinks Florida can get along without going to the Rose Bowl or, perhaps, even the Sugar Bowl or the Orange Blossom Bowl. Somewhat similar restraint pre- vails in the so-called Ivy League, composed of seven of the Eastern old guard, but they want winning foot- ball teams. Their athletic directors talk moderation, if not actual purity, but their scouts and their alumni are busy interesting boys with foot- ball talent in going to the old alma mater. Yale, Pennsylvania, Princeon and Harvard have been or are in the pro- cess of offering proof of this. Cor- TEAM STATISTICS Mich.

Colum- bia has been to the Rose Bowl. Dart- mouth is on the upgrade again. A typically frank expression of undergraduate feeling this week comes from the University of Louis- ville. The editor of the school paper advocates casting off "the shackles of misplaced idealism" and admitting that "business is business." He adds: "To get a good football team, one pays for it." Quite so. Harvard 33, Brown 0 CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 2.- (,P) - Harvard overwhelmed the feeble Brown Bears, 33 to 0, today before a crowd of 7,900 that suffered a thor- ough drenching on top of an overdose of poor football. The Crimson, piling up five touch- downs, sent the Browns to a swift defeat.
