THE MICHIGAN DAILY Graham Soph Halfback Passes Twice For Markers Purple Holds Big Margin In Statistics; Buckeyes Score On tong March COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 25. -'l)- Northwestern's snarling Wildcats clawed their way back into the West- ern Conference football picture to- day, defeating an out-manned but not out-fought band of Ohio State Bucks, 14 to 7, before 71,896 fans. The Cats, armed with the unerring passing accuracy of sophomore half- through the air for their tallies and back Otto Graham, struck twice through the air for their tallies and then bottled the' Bucks deep in their own territory throughout the last half to clinch their second confer- ence victory. Next week Northwest- ern stacks up against unbeaten Min- nesota. Hecklinger Scores Ohio's lone score came on a 70- -yard march in the first period, sopho- more fullback Harold (Bob) Heck- linger, substituting for the injured Jack Graf, smacking over, for the touchdown from the two-yard line. But it was Hecklinger, moved up from the third string only this week, who had the misfortune of setting the stage for Northwestern's winning marker. He fumbled on the 16-yard line in the third period and North- western's alert end, Bob Motl, re- covered. Two plays later Motl took a 16-yard pass from Graham for a touchdown. Northwestern, holding a wide edge in statistics all afternoon, started moving goalward with the opening kickoff. Graham Tosses 43 Yard Pass Ohio then held Northwestern for. downs on the one-yard line. But after being halted again on the 13 by an intercepted pass, the Cats banged into pay territory on the third try as Graham heaved a 43- yard pass to end Bud Hasse. Quarterback Dick Erdlitz booted both extra points for Northwestern. Trhe Wildcats were out front only log enough for the Bucks to take the kickoff and march 70 yards. 1 Northwestern lost a touchdown in the second period ater another Gra- hamn aerial dropped into the arms of substitute end Al Colberg, behin the Ohio goal. The officials ruled, however, that Colberg interferred with Fisher and the pass was ruled incomplete-. It took the Wildcats only four minutes after the intermission-aid- ed by Hecklinger's fumble-to score. Buckeye Line Holds While Northwestern checked Ohio's offense the rest of the way, the Catsi threatened to score twice in the final period. Once down to the one-foot line, they were pushed back to the, four as Ohio took the ball on downs. And Graham broke up a desperate last-minute Ohio passing attack by intercepting, an aerial and running, it 40 yards to Ohio's five as the game ended.

To gain the plaudits of his associates Donelli's Steclers would have to whip the powerful Chicago Bears-some- thing no other team has been able to do this season. The Green Bay Pack- ers came close to accomplishing this but the champions still are unde- feated while averaging 44 points a game against four opponents.

Pregulman displayed both courage and finished football ability as he repeatedly broke through the huge Gopher forward wall to nail the ball carrier, while his blocking was batteringly effective in clearing the way for the Maize and Blue runners. 'Spartans Smash Wayne, 39-6; Tartars Score After Final Gun Commenting, on the film, Angie Trogan, sophomore guard and line' captain of the 1941 Red Shirts, says, and I quote: "More pictures like this should be made in order to acquaint, the general public with the indispen-, sible role performed by my colleagues and myself." "Yeah," echoes tackle Vince Secon- tine. "Angie ain't just blowin' his top," agrees Buck Miller, first team Red fullback. Love To Play FootballE It stands as more than evidentf from the above that the esprit de corps, of the Red Shirts is no incon- siderable thing. Not that they're snobbish you understand.

Had' he .not proved his contriteness by mak- ing three consecutive tackles against the first team, his only course could have been to return to the Varsity. The Red Shirts would have flatly dis- owned him. False delusions of grand- eur they will not tolerate. IHarry Anderson is the only member Ilk opin al EAST LANSING, Oct. 25,-(/P)- Michigan State College turned on the power in the second half to crush a hard-trying Wayne University team, 39 to 6 today, but there was a bizarre finish that overshadowed the score. Touchdown After Final Gun A crowd of. 15,200 left Macklin Field thinking Wayne had been hand- ed its fourth consecutive whitewash, but referee Rudel Miller ruled that a pass deflected off the foot of a Michi- gan r'eceiver was intercepted by a Wayne player, who ran 72 yards for a touchdown after the gun sounded. On the last play of the game, half- back Wyman Davis threw a pass to halfback Hugh Davis on Wayne's 28. The ball struck the latter's leg and halfback Nick Cherup of Wayne grabbed the ball in mid-air and streaked down the field. With some 8,500 Michigan Boy Scouts, guests of the College swarm- ing the field, no conversion attempt was made by Wayne. The Tartars staged surprising re- sistance most of the game, trailing only 7 to 0 at the intermission. Pawlowski, Sherman Score However, sparked by 158 pound Wally Pawlowski, making his first stat at right halfback and fullback, Bob Sherman, the Spartans roared. back with a five-touchdown assault; in the final two periods. Pawlowski opened the second half Spartan explosion with touchdown runs of 14 and 28 yards midway in the third period. The two pay-off jaunts came less than three minutes apart. Sherman, who tallied State's first touchdown in the second quarter with a one-yard buck, took up where Paw- lowski left off in the same period and broke. loose for a thrilling 75- yard touchdown run on a smash over left tackle. Two more\ Spartan touchdowns came in the closing period, one on an 81-yard pass interception by guard George Danciu and the other on % 14-yard pass from halfback Wyman Davis to end Lew Smiley. Two of State's three conversions were place-kicked by Sherman, while Wy Davis booted the third. Although State rolled up 346 yards from scrimmage to 69 for Wayne, the Tartars were shaded in first downs only 14 to 11. Coach CharleybBachman used 31 State players,- but whenever 'the Spartan first string club was on the bench the scrappy Tartars caused trouble. This was particularly true in the second period when Wayne marched 51 yards to State's 29 and then pierced to the Spartan 13 after recovering a State fumble. State's Fifth Win Over Wayne It was the fifth meeting of the two schools and marked State's fifth straight win and its widest margin of victory. In 1938, the Spartans tri- umphed, 34 to 6. State had to work hard for its first touchdown. After advancing as far as Wayne's four in the opening peri- od, fumbles by Sherman and Dick Kieppe set the Spartans back on the Tartar ten and the scoring threat faded when Kielpe's pss was grounded in the end zone. After an exchange of punts, the Spartans launched another drive from Wayne's 44 and with Sherman and Kieppe battering away on eight plays, finally reached the one-yard line and Sherman powered his way across to score. State's quick scoring thrusts de- moralized the Tartars in the second half, but the Spartans, whose play was marred considerably by fumbles and mix ups on signals, showed need for considerable work before tackling Missouri here next Saturday. I Y Notre Dame Unleashes Passing Attack To Wallop Illinois, 49-14 ance SOUTH BEND, *Oct. 25. -(P)- Notre Dame's football machine, sput- tering before Illinois' inspired play for three periods, came to life todayI with a terrific explosion of fourth period power which produced four touchdowns and a 49 to 14 victory before 45,000 roaring spectators. Irish Turn On Power In gaining their fifth straight win of the season the Irish were a lethar- gic looking eleven as the third period ended, holding a slim seven point lead over the Bob Zuppke eleven. Then, with 'a crushing ground and aerial attack, they rode rough shod over their opponents to turn the hard fought battle into a rout. Illinois, with its line out-march- ing the Notre Dame forwards con- sistently, surprised everyone by opening the scoring. Lavere Astroth passed 16 yards to Don Griffin, brightest light of the day for the Illini, for a touchdown midway in the first period. Notre Dame came back to knot the count on Steve Juzwik's 13 yard run late in the quarter. The Irish scored twice in the second period, Angelo Bertelli passing 30 yards to Juzwik for one score and Owen Evans smashing one yard for another after one of the many Irish pass interceptions had set the stage. Illinois Comes Back But Illinois, finally outclassed but never outgamed, fought back in the third period, holding the Irish score- less and gaining a second touchdown. Jimmy Smith counted on a one yard smash after a 16 yard pass had been ruled complete because of Irish in- terference. Then Notre Dame, shooting'her first stringers into action, put on its steam-roller act. Bertelli shot a 38 yard touchdown pass to Evans and then whirled a nine yard aerial to Bill Farley for another score. Wally Ziemba then intercepted a pass and ran 47 yards to the Illini three be- fore Evans crashed over for a touch- down. With two seconds of play -re- maining, Tom Creevy hurled a 40 yard aerial to Tom Miller for a final Irish score. §Ieaj ptLay ata,..
