Seven of Michigan's. starters were 60-minute performers yesterday, play- ing steady heads-up ball without rest. Phil Sharpe, junior flankman, played brilliantly the entire game along with Westfall, and terrific leg drive by Kuzma who blasted over for the score from the two foot line. Just one min- ute, 29 seconds remained in the half when Melzow converted. ' 3. Number three was chalked up by the Wolverines after eight minutes of the third period. Scoring on the same play which helped turn back North- western, Michigan took the lead when Westy handed the ball to Ceithaml who lateraled back to Kuzma, swing- ing wide to his right. Tom, who gave a very fine exhibition of passing skill all day . . . the best of his still young career . . . faded back slightly, cocked his arm and fired a perfect aerial to Fraumann who was racing all alone for pay dirt. Beautifully executed, the play was good for 13 yards and cli- maxed a sustained 66-yard drive. Mel- zow converted this one, too, to make it 14-7. 4. Trailing for the first time, the Scarlet Scourge altered this situation in short order.' They took the kickoff and rolled from their own 29 all the way to pay dirt without an interrup- tion. Graf's acurate aerials, comple- mented by occasional plunges and end sweeps backed up the Wolverines to their own one yard line, from where wingback Tob Kinkade leaped over left guard for the score. Halla- brin again converted to make it 14-14 with four minutes, 26 seconds left in the third quarter. 5. Three minutes into the final pe- riod the Bucks struck for the last time. But this time they varied the procedure. Instead of banging away at the Wolverine line on a long march, they combined a short flat pass with a brilliant run by the speedy Fisher to count from their own terri- tory. Graf faded only slightly from his own 48, looped a short pass to the fast-moving Fisher over on the left, PAUL BROWN ... he gave them a team r .f PHIL SHARPE Fraumann. Starting tackles Kelto and junior Al Wistert went the route without relief, also, as did quarter- back George Ceithaml, Westfall and tailback Tom Kuzma. Two other starters, guard Merv Pregulman and wingback Paul White were relieved for only a very few minutes each. For Ohio State tailback Dick Fish- er and Jack Graf were outstanding backs who generated the entire OSU attack. Behind Ohio's hard-charg- ing line, spearheaded by Jim Daniell, George Cheroke, and Fritz Howard, these two' backs ran, assed and kicked magnificently. They matched any pair of backs Michigan has faced this year. In a little more detail here is the account of the scoring: 1. Following two punt exchanges OSU took the ball at midfield with the-aid of a 16-yard runback by safe- ty man Fisher. A pass from fullback Graf to Fisher took the ball to Mich- igan's 32. Graf and Fisher ham- mered to the 26, then combined in another well-executed pass play to put the ball on the 15. In three plays Fisher and Graf smashed to a first down on the four. Graf failed at left guard, then fairly exploded over right tackle for the score. Quar- terback John Hallabrin converted, and some four minutes of the first period remained. 2. Michigan marched from OSU's 40 in the waning minutes of .the first half all the way for a touchdown in just seven plays. Featuring the drive were a spectacular'17-yard reverse run by White, steady pounding by a matter which they accomplished in some five minutes and 13 plays. Ceit- haml's selection of plays was virtu- ally faultless in this final period march. Kuzma and Westfall, Michi- gan's double-barrelled battering at- tack, alternated in taking the ball down to OSU's 21 with eight minutes left in the ball game. White displayed great shiftiness in taking a reverse over left tackle to the 15. Kuzma, legs driving hard, moved down to the 10 for a first down. In two more plays the score was knotted. Kuzma took it once more over right tackle to the five, then with White in motion to the left, Westfall got the ball, swung out wide around left end, cut back over tackle behind perfect interference to score without being touched. There followed the heartbreaking miss at the placement attempt, and the score remained 20-20 with just six min- utes, 40 seconds left. Ohio Tries For Win And a wild few minutes they were, too.Ohio took the kickoff and moved back up the field to their own 45, where they tried for a first down with a fourth down plunge instead of punting safely out of danger. They elected to try for a win rather than play for a tie, but lost. Michigan took possession on the Buck 45 and the crowd screamed for action. A drunk gave it to them. After play was halted and resumed, Kuzma passed from the 42, but it was inter- cepted by Kinkade and the threat was nullified. Fisher was forced to punt after a series of line bucks and the Wolverines again gained possession on their own 25 with two minutes remaining. They swept back past midfield on Kuzma's passing arm, but the final gun ended the game. There were four outstanding Wol- verine threats which did not pay off. Once White was behind the Scarlet and Gray secondary, but couldn't quite reach a long Kuzma pass, which would certainly have been good all the way. Michigan Goes To OSU Seven In the first period Michigan went all the way down to the Ohio seven but the Bucks held for downs, Michi- gan's fourth try, a fake variation of the backward lateral, backfiring com- pletely when Westf all was stopped cold. Shortly thereafter, the Maize and Blue threatened again, but a Kuzma pass was intercepted by How- ard on Ohio's three yard line. Then in the last couple minutes of the third period the Maize and. Blue machine had a first down on Ohio's six. But a reverse by White and three power smashes by Kuzma couldn't dent the furiously scrapping Buckeye forward wall. And so, 30 for a great game, a great gang of players, and a great grid season. * * * THE LINEUPS Qhio State Michigan rFox LE Fraumann Daniell LT Wistert Howard LG Kolesar Vickroy C Ingalls Cheroke RG Pregulman Stephenson RT Kelto Shaw RE Sharpe Hallabrin QB Ceithaml Fisher LH Kuzma Kinkade RH White Graf FB Westfall OHIO STATE .. 7 0 7 6-20 MICHIGAN ... 0 7 7 6-20 Ohio State scoring: 'Touchdowns, Graf, Kinkade, Fisher; points after touchdown, Hallabrin 2 (placekicks.)

BIG BILL MELZOW, after kicking seven consecutive extra points, let one slip off the side of his foot yes- terday and provided a heart-break- ing finish to a great career for one of the most popular guys ever to play football for the University of Michi- gan. There were few Michigan fans in the stands who didn't have the ut- most confidence that Bill's foot was going to propel the pigskin right be- tween the uprights and give Michigan a 21-20 lead with the game almost over. Hadn't he kicked four straight against Columbia in his last game? Hadn't he booted two perfect con- versions already in this contest? Well, yes, he had. But the foot- ball fates, seeming to sense that an injustice was about to be done to a great Ohio State team intervened and sent the ball soaring off to the left. For the first time in seven attempts, Melzow had missed. But that, after all, was as it should have been. Had Bill made good the conversion, it would have been tough medicine for a great gang of Buck- eyes who played their heads off in an attempt to take home a victory over the favored Wolverines. And almost succeeded, too. Here's one hat that's off in tribute to Paul Brown and his squad, one of the best we've seen this year. THE LIGHTER SIDE OF THE SPORTING SCENE: There were quite a few spectators at yesterday's game who didn't seem to take very seriously the request by the Board in Control of Physical Education that they refrain from excessive alcoholic indulgence. More than at any other game in Ann Arbor this fall, as a matter of fact. One lad who is probably mighty embarrassed this morning is the unidentified gent who danced gaily about in the north end zone, then raced out to midfield, eluded the referee and attempted to put a vicious tackle on Tommy Kuzma.. The Hoosier Hurricane got a chew- ed up finger out of the encounter, and the drunk did a fadeout and was carried from the field by four burly minions of the law. We'd like to bet that fellow will be just a little bit disgusted with himself when his friends tell him about the exhibition he put on in front of 85,753 amused fans. Top story of the day, in our esti- matign, is the one about the sligl'tly pie-eyed gentleman who purchased two tickets from a scalper, then pro- duced a small brown envelope, saying, "Here, you can have these too. I got on the Wrong train." The puzzled ticket speculator took time off from his business to open the envelope and found inside a pair of $3.30 tickets to the Notre Dame-Southern California game at South Bend. At Minneapolis ... Minnesota's mighty tide of football empire-with Captain Bruce Smith brilliantly riding the 'crest of the wave-swept over Wisconsin today to carry the Gophers to the Big Ten and National Football Champidn- ships. With Smith winding up his college career in All-American fashion, Min- nesota rolled over the Badgers 41 to 6 to run their winning streak to 17 straight games and give the Gophers the remarkable record of six Western Conference titles in eight years. This Minnesota team was one of the all-tiihe great Gopher elevens today-and Smith was the big rea- son. The moment he entered the battle he sparked a power blast which almost blew the game Badgers out of Memorial Stadium. And when he hobbled from the game late in the final period after figuring in four Gopher touchdowns, the crowd oft2,- 894 stood to give him a mighty ova- tion. Gopher Line Too Strong Minnesota's great line gave Wis- consin little chance today, smother- ing the Badger attack monotonously except for one Badger surge. That drive paid tribute to fullback Pat Harder, who climaxed a second period drive with a tremendous 10-yard scor- ing charge on which he bowled over three Gophers as though they were tenpins. The Gophers, leaders of the Asso- ciated Press National Rankings Poll through most of the season, didn't have Smith in the lineup as they started this game which wound up a second straight undefeated and un- tied season. Twice this Minnesota line came through acid tests. In the third pe- riod Wisconsin drove to the Minne- sota six, only to lose the ball on downs. In the fourth the Badgers got to the Gopher 12, again seeing their attack falter and break. In first downs, Minnesota led 14 to 11 and the Gophers gained 249 yards by rushing to 131 for their red-shirted opponents. the 31-yard-line early in the second quarter. Steve Juzwik wasted no time running it to the USC six, and in two plays the charging Evans had tied the score and Juzwik had put the Irish ahead with his lacement conversion. Evans recovered a Trojan fumble on the Southern California 45 later that period. Then Bertelli started firing-to Bob Dove on the 26-to Juzwik on the 20-to Dove again on the four. And after Evans made a yard Juzwik bounded the last three yards to put the Irish ahead, 13-6. Juzwik's kick was blocked. Trojans Hit Pay Dirt Bob Musick passed 10 yards to Douglas Essick. Musick ran for an-' other 10. He passed to Paul Taylor on the Irish 23, and shot another to Essick on the five. Then came his. inerring five-yard touchdown throw to Bill Bledsoe, substitute quarter- back, and the Trojans left the field for the intermission behind only 1.- 12. Bertelli and the Irish were still around, however. Evans took a USC punt on his own 40 and ran it five yards. Bertelli passed to Dove for 11 yards, and to Harry Wright for eight. Evans and Juzwik picked up seven yards running and Angelo threw again to Wright on the Trojan 18. Then he fired the payoff pass to Evans, who went over. Juzwik's kick put the Irish ahead, 20-12. Southern California raged the spectre of upset once more, a Mike Anderson to Taylor lateral and a for- ward to Joe Davis netting 24 yards to the Notre Dame eight. Robertson rushed across for the touchdown. But Jones failed to pass for the point. Notre Dame took the kickoff and held on to the finish. . At Evanston... Robert C. Zuppke, the little man no longer there, ended a brilliant 29-year coaching career today emotionally watching his last "fighting Illini" go down to a crushing defeat before Northwestern, 27 to 0. A crowd of 35,00 sat through the dreary afternoon to witness the wind- up, which also ended the intercol- legiate career of Northwestern's Bill De Correvont, once a most fabulous prep star. De Correvont, running and passing beautifully, scored three of the Wildcats' four touchdowns be- fore leaving the game in the third period. Zuppke Receives Plaque Before the game, the 62-year-old Zuppke, whe resigned a few days ago, was presented with a silver plaque in recognition of his sportsmanship and long service at Illinois. Kenneth L. Wilson, Northwestern's Director of Athletics who played on Zuppke's 1919 team, made the presentation. Zup- pke also was given an "N" Blanket, the first he had ever received. He. failed to earn one in his undergrad- uate days at Wisconsin. The powerful Wildcats were far superior to the tricky and light Illi- nois team, rolling up 220 yards on the ground to 78 for the Illini. College Football Scores .. .

It was hard runing, 188 pound Roblin whose smashing gains and accurate passes played the chief part in the triumph before 30,00 fans. He boomed 35 yards off right tackle for the first' Oregon touch- down in the third quarter, and he passed 25 yards to Mecham who ra 15 more for the second touchdown. After Mecham passed 25 yards to Newquist in the fourth period for what proved the winning score, Rob- line, with only seconds, remaining, managed to squirm across his own goal line to give Washington an in- tentional safety. He almost got drop- ped on his own one-foot line and as it was fourth down, the Huskies would have taken over there. At South Bend ... Notre Dame's mighty fodtball war- riors achieved their -undefeated sea- son today, first since the 19.29 Knute Rockne team, but they had the scare of their lives before it went into the record book. The Irish defeated Southern Calif- ornia, 20-18, before 56,000 spectators but the Trojans, credited with only a so-so season, were the first to score. The West Coast eleven trailed only 13-12 at the half and then roared out with a late fourth period touch- down to pull within two points of Notre Dame. Again it was Angelo Bertelli'a passing mastery that saved Notre Dame and gave it a final 1941 rating of eight victories and the scoreless tie against Army. Two Ber.telli passes set up the second Irish touchdown and he rammed #n 18-yard throw to teammate Fred (Dippy) Evans for the third period touchdown-the oxl, that gave Notre Dame its margin of victory. Evans Has Punt Blocked The trouble Notre Dame was to have from the scrapping Trojan elev- en became apparent on the second play after the opening kickoff, when Evans' punt was blocked and South- ern California took the ball on the [rish 33-yard-line. Bob Robertson torpedoed a pass to Ralph Heywood for a touchdown. Bob Jones' try for the point was blocked, however. The Irish didn't get over the shock all that initial period. When they did revive, it was because a Southern California punt got no further than TOM KUZMA who gathered it in, evaded Tip Lock- ard, side-stepped Kuzma with a mar- velous shift of his. hips, and outran the Michigan defenses to the goal. 'Hallabrin's crucial kick was wide as the crowd roared. 6.

SPECTATORS at yesterday's game were provided with a little extra entertainment after the final whistle had blown as the two teams engaged in a spirited battle for the ball. Every member of both teams was in on the struggle which ended with Michigan gaining possession of the precious pill. Evidently they just wanted to prove they could get it, however because the Wolverines' Capt. Bob Westfall later took it across the runway to the Buckeye dressing room and turn- ed it over to the visitors, a trophy which they will probably treasure for a long time. No one could ask a better souvenir than that ball which went through 60 minutes of the great- est offensive football ever seen. It was a swell gesture, too, for one team to make to an opponent with which it had just engaged in one of the cleanest games ever played. Don't get us wrong. There was no lack of fight out there yes- terday. Both teams wanted to win but they went about it in the right way. They kept it clean. Although yesterday's battle put a bit of a dent in Michigan's 1941 rec- ord, no one should express anything THE QUIZ KIDS --ail 0 Harve 0L Joan # Richard * Jack * Gerard In a Battle of Wits FiCi on Keys of The Kingdom - Cronin . . . . . . $2.50 Saratoga Trunk - Edna Ferber . . . . . $2.50 Leaf In A Storm - Lin Yutang . . . . . . $2.50 Wild Is The River - Bromfield . . . . . . $2.50 Windswept - Mary Ellen Chase . . . . . $2.75 Reveille In Washington - Margaret Leech . . 50 * with * 5 Prominent Faculty Members Tomorrow NIght -815 p.m. 7ItiYC ricfn nc r v Bnakc from 't, 111
