Michigan State Toppled from Unbeaten Ranks Missouri Comes Back To Whip Spartans 13-7 By The Associated Press COLUMBIA, MO., NOV. 4-Mis- souri University Tigers spoiled the unbeaten and untied football record of Michigan State here this after- noon by charging to two second half touchdowns after they had trailed the Spartans 7-0 at the half. The final score was Michigan State 7, Missouri 13. Sparked by Robert Hopkins, sub- stituting for the Tigers' star runner, Bill Dellastatious, the Missourians scored without losing the ball after the second half kick off. , Paul Col- lins, quarterback, went over for the first Tiger touchdown to culminate a 60 yard drive. Jim Kekeris, 272 pound Missouri tackle, missed his placement for the extra point. Undismayed at failing to tie the score, the Tigers continued to out- play the Spartans and early in the fourth quarter drove to the deciding touchdown. A pass intercepted by Max Riley, Missouri fullback, set the stage for the second drive which l began on the Missouri 35 yard line.

A few seconds later the half ended with Penn chalking uip its initial first down of the game. Initial Attack Halted The Maize and Blue didn't take long in announcing their intentions. After the opening kickoff had been lugged back to the 29-yard line, Eugene Derricotte in two plays ad- vanced the ball to the Red and Blue 49-yard line. The Wolverines were then temporarily halted but on fourth down Derricotte faded back to pass and finding no one open ran with beautiful blocking to the 36- yard line for a first down. Derricotte, Chubb, and Lund then alternated to make it a first down on the Penn 23. Chubb, who ran brilliantly all afternoon, then broke loose on two reverses and the ball was on the six- yard line. The Michigan attack bog- ged down at this point and Penn took over. George Munger's outfit punted out. of danger and Chubb came roaring back with a 32-yard' sizzling run to the eight-yard line. Three plays moved the ball to the' four-yard line and on fourth down Chubb skirted four precious yards around right end for the first score of the game. Ponsetto's kicl was good, making the score 7-0 after 11 minutes of the first period had elapsed. Trio Leads Attack A fumble put Penn in the hole after the next kickoff and they were compelled to punt from the end zone. Chubb returned the kick six yards to the Penn 35, and with Derricotte, Lund, and Chubb assuming the offensive burden, Michigan made it a first down on the Penn 19 as the gun sounded the end of the first quarter. Then Lund crashed center for two and Derricotte on-anotherreverse skipped to the four-yard line. Der- I ricotte then bolted off left tackle for the second score and Ponsetto again tallied the extra point. Subs Play During the second half, Michigan's second and third stringers did most of the playing except for a brief respite in the fourth quarter when the regulars marched 75 yards in 12f plays for the Wolverines' final score. A 24-yard run by Chubb around right end scored the touchdown. Ponsetto's educated toe again clicked for another extra point. Penn's first score came in the third period, with the Quakers mar- ching 67 yards in 11 plays. Ed Law- less' try for the extra point was unsuccessful. Penn's second tally resulted in the longest run of the game, a 62-yard jaunt by Anthony Minisi, the 17-year-old 190 pound freshman. Lawless' kick was wide. Penn Passes Click The Quakers' last score was set up by Andy Gordon, when he inter- cepted Yerges' pass on the Penn 35- yard stripe. Two passes, Gordon to Helman, covered 60 yards and on two plays Engelking tallied from the five-yard line. Seidenburger's try for the extra point split the uprights. Final statistics gave the Wolver- ines an overwhelming edge in the rushing. department as they piled up 376 yards to Penn's 161. The Quak- ers had a slight advantage over the aerial route with 136 yards on eight completions in 14 attempts to Michi- gan's 89 on five successful heaves out of 12 tries. Canadiens Edge 1 utedWing s In Tight Game By The Associated Press MONTREAL, Nov. 4.-Toe Blake's goal with eight minutes to go broke up a tight hockey game here tonight and gave the Montreal Canadiens a 3-2 victory over Detroit's Red Wings in the first meeting of the two teams this season, A sell-out crowd of more than 12,000 saw the Canadiens go into a two-goal lead in the first period, only to have the Wings get one back just before the period ended and tie it up while Canadiens were playing two men short in the second. That set the, stage for Blake's game-win- ner in the closely-fought third. Although Blake got the tie-break- ing goal, much of the credit for the win went to goalie Bill Durnan who was sensational'in the net. He played a big part in handing the Wings their first defeat of the season. Maurice Richard started the scor- ing with a backhander that slid under Conny Dion from close in.

First there was the redoubtable Bob (Hunchy) Hoernschemeyer of Indiana fame who as a yearling led the nation's backs in total offense. and was selected on more than one All-American eleven. This season has produced three more topnotch freshman halfbacks in the persons of Illinois' great Buddy Young, Wis- consin's sensational 17-year old Jug Girard and Michigan's own Eugene Derricotte, who bids fair to becomes a Wolverine great in his own right with a couple of years of experience. Starred Against Purdue This is not to say that the flashy Negro speedster is not doing all right this fall. Derricotte has occupied a starting role in every game and has been continually improving with each outing, rising to his peak perform- ance in last week's tilt with Pur- due in which he gained 101 yards from scrimmage and completed three passes in as many attempts besides being a power on defense from his safety man position. Derricotte's efforts have been somewhat overshadowed by the pres- ence of a pair of pretty fair backs in the Wolverine secondary, fullback Bob Wiese and wingback Bob Nuss- baumer, both veterans and both fine ball carriers. But with the transfer of both these men to other Navy and Marine bases Derricotte should be- BOx Score come the leading cog in Coach H.

Derricotte is fast, shifty, a better than average for- ward passer, and tremendously pow- erful despite his 5 ft. 9 in. 170 pound frame. His terrific leg drive enables him to knife through the smallest openings, and his speed allows him to make the most of his opportuni- ties in an open field. Justified Crisier's Faith Derricotte hails from Defiance, Ohio, where he led his high school team to one undefeated season and received a nomination for All-State honors despite the presence of a gal- axy of backfield stars from larger schools, including the almost legend- ary Massilon High. His high school coach was instrumental in getting Derricotte and his teammate, Char- les Wahl, to the Michigan campus, a bit of aid for which the Wolverine coaches are duly grateful.

TAVERN ( V /.t Sj C' I . - As a freshman on the squad at Michigan Derricotte worked his way up from the ranks to establish him- self as the outstanding tailback can- didate available, and Crisler's faith in assigning an inexperienced new- comer to a starting berth was imme- diately justified as Derricotte gave highly creditable performances when- ever. called upon. Has "Football Sense" Thus it appears that for a first- year man Derricotte has done more than all right for himself, and it seems more than likely that he will continue to do so. He has the requi- site natural ability, a fighting heart, and that almost indefinable some- thing known as "football sense" which is, essentially, the ability to do the right thing at the right time. So, with Wiese and Nussbaumer gone it is a pretty safe bet that the name of Eugene Derricotte will loom ever larger on the Wolverine football horizon.

This enrollment of 4,324 women contributes largely to the 9.4 percent increase over 1943. Not only has civilian male enrollment dropped to 1,799 but military train- ees have been severely cut. In the Army 1150 men are enrolled as compared with 2,300 last year and the cutting of Navy men by 250 from last years 1,250 account for more of the loss. The all time high for the University, 12,000, has been cut almost by half to 6.103 students. * *a* THE ONLY increase to be noted along the line is a 200 percent growth in the University branch of the the group and offers one hour credit per terrm for work done.
