Michigan got its initial score the first time it took possession of the ball. Left End Art Renner broke through to partially block Dave Shaw's punt from the Purdue 45, and the ball was downed on the ' Wolver- ine 40. Six plays later, Michigan had a touchdown. Nussbaumer Starts It Nussbaumer picked up nine on two wide plays, and Weisenburger banged over center for a first down at the Purdue 48. Two rushing attempts lost two. Elliott then faded back be- hind excellent protection and tossed a 30-yard pass to Nussbaumer, who had gotten behind the Boilermaker left half at the 20. Nussbaumer gal- ]oped across unmolested. Reserve full- back George Chiames made good on the first of his three conversions. Purdue came right back after the kickoff and marched all the way from its own 28 to the Michigan ofie- foot line before losing the ball on downs. Mixing up DeMoss' passes with quick-opening thrusts by big Ed Cody and Billy Canfield, the Boilermakers moved to a first down at the Michigan four. Wolverine Forwards Hold A five-yard penalty took them back to the nine, where the Wolverine line stiffened and held. Cody's fourth- down plunge from the three was just inches short pf the goal. Not until eight and one-half min- utes of the second period did Michi- gan get another goalward drive underway. Purdue had driven to- the Wolverine 30 before losing the ball when Renner dumped Shaw for a seven-yard loss on fourth down. With the ball on the 37, Elliott, Hank Fonde, and Weisenburger alt- ernated at the line for two first downs to the Purdue 42.. Quarterback How- ard Yerges hit Renner with a pass at the 27. Fonde, Elliott, and Weisen- burger combined for another first down at the 13. After Purdue was penalized five yards for holding, El- liott hammered over on three suc- cessive drives over his own right tackle. Chiames missed the extra point. Purdue Strikes Back Purdue's first tally came just four minutes later and was set up when Fonde fumbled Shaw's punt on his own 20, and right end Norm Maloney recovered for the Boilermakers. Cody hurled his 200-pound frame at the Michigan line on five successive plays to cover the 20 yards. His last plunge started from the one. Tom Hughes, 220-pound right tackle, converted, making the score 13-7. Michigan's final first half score came on the most spectacular play of the afternoon. After Fonde brought Hughes' kickoff back to his own 46, Elliott tossed one incomplete pass, then spotted Nussbaumer in the open again. The 165-pound scatback gath- ered the ball in at the Boilermaker 22, squirmed away from two would-be tacklers, picked up a timely block from Renner, and cut across the field to the goal. Chiames converted. Boilermakers Click in Third As the second half got underway, the Boilermakers came out with re- newed vigor and proceeded to take the play away from their rivals all during the third period, although they were not able to push the ball over until three minutes after the final stanza had begun.

Next time, however the Purdue drive carried all the way. Shaw brought Elliott's punt back to his own 42, and an unnecessary roughness penalty on Michigan placed the ball I on the Wolverine 41. Shaw and Canfield collaborated for one first down at the 27, and a De- Moss-Canfield pass moved to the nine. Cody advanced to the one-foot line on two plunges, but Canfield was I stopped cold on the next play. On fourth down, Shaw went off his own left tackle for the score. Hughes kick- ed was blocked. Maize and Blue Sew It Upj At this point, the Boilermakers were very much back in the ball - game, but they could not halt Mich- igan's next goalward stampede. Leon- The Wolverine mentor liked the. looks of the Purdue team had just defeated. "They're always dangerous with Cody and the backfield. Those two boys are both fine backs." S * * 4 his charges Canfield in Over in the Purdue dressing room, Coach Cecil Isbell seemed a bit bewildered by it all. "We got some bad breaks," he said, "but I have to admit that Michigan is a nice-looking young ball club. We really wanted to win this one." Neither squad reported any serious injuries beyond the usual assortment of miscellaneous bumps and bruises. Michigan fullback Jack Weisenburger was removed from the game with a bruised ankle in the second quarter and did not play thereafter. Trainer Ray Roberts did not think the injury serious. Dan Dworsky replaced Weisenburger at full. Smoke bombs seem to be the thing to throw at Michigan home games. Someone tossed another orange affair out over the Wolverine bench near the end of the contest. Equipment manager Hank Hatch corralled it. Two weeks ago, another of the missiles landed on the field. * * * , Team Captain Joe Ponsetto watched the game from the press box, along with Don Robinson and Don Lund. Ponsetto and Robinson are out for the season with injuries. Lund was co-captain of the Wolverines last season and has since moved into double-A professional baseball. Also haunting the press quarters were numerous scouts from Indi- ana and Ohio State. Indiana meets Purdue next week in the Conference title-deciding clash, and Ohio State has a date with the Wolverines here Saturday. Leading ground gainer of the afternoon, on a yards-per-try basis, was Dan Dworsky with 34 yards in six attempts. Pete Elliott accounted for 44 yards in 13 tries. On the Purdue side, Ed Cody picked up the most yardage of anyone on the field, 105 yards, in 23 carries. Billy Canfield, Conference leader in total offense, pass receiving, and scoring, gained 52 yards on 11 chances. Canfield, incidentally, was held scoreless, but did catch four passes, good for '37 yards. * * * *1' Pete Elliott topped the much-publicized De Moss in passing, com- pleting four of five for 134 yards. DeMoss clicked on nine of 15 for 92 yards. Purdue used only three backs as ball carriers all afternoon-Canfield, Shaw, and Cody. DeMoss did all the passing for the Boilermakers. * ~* * Crisler was the epitome of the well-dressed football coach on a rainy day. He donned a slicker and a sou'wester hat for the occasion. Isbell watched the game from the press box, as is his habit. The Michigan band entertained the crowd between halves with a Thanksgiving Day stunt working out of a T (for turkey) formation. The University Choir joined in for a church formation that ended the colorful show. Bob Callahan, who has been playing at tackle all season, alternated with Tony Momsen at center as Crisler tried to bolster the pivot position vacated by Harry Watts. Callahan played center for Missouri in 1942. Art Renner, Dan Dworsky, Pete Elliott, Bob Nussbaumer, and Dom Tomasi turned in outstanding games for the Wolverines. For the Boiler- makers, it was Ed Cody, Ed Cody, and Ed Cody, with Bob DeMoss, Norm Maloney, and Ed Fox also showing up well. St. Mary's Is UCLA, 13m-7 By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17-Marching 84 yards to score in the final minutes of play, the battling, underdog Bruins of the University of California at Los Angeles today upset St. Mary's Col- lege, 13-7, toppling the Gaels from the ranks of the nation's undefeated grid teams. Before 87,000 exhausted spectators, the Bruins tallied on quarterback Er- nie Case's 15-yard pass to halfback Skip Rowland, who ran five yards for the winning touchdown with one minute to play. Bruin Backs Star The Bruin backs were sensational, averaging six yards per try and net- ting 257 yards on the ground, but it was the small, compact bristling Bruin line that wore down the Gaels' 17-year-olders. The Coliseum has sel- dom seen more vicious blocking and tackling. UCLA amassed 14 first downs to seven for the Gaels. The game, the last on the Gaels' regular schedule, kept them from be- coming St. Mary's first unbeaten, untied team. The loss may have dampened their Sugar Bowl hopes, but the victory enhanced UCLA's Rose Bowl stock. UCLA- Sees Roses The Uclans moved into the Rose Bowl limelight with the triumph, al- though their Pacific Coast Confer- ence record is marked by a 13 to 6 loss to Southern California on Sept. 21. The Trojans, idle today and also still in the bowl picture, play UCLA again Dec.-1. Other coast games saw Washing- ton, another Tourney of Roses can- didate, win from Idaho, 12 to 0; Oregon trim California, 20 to 13.

THE DASCOLA BARBERS Between Michigan & State Theaters Cadets Maul Penn, 61-0; Navy Wins PASSING FANCY -Passing for three scores and plunging for the other against the Boilermakers was halfback Pete Elliot. ard Ford returned Hughes short kickoff to his own 43 to open the as- sault. A series of penalties, one of which nullified a Boilermaker inter- ception that might have produced the tying score, and line plays by Elliott and Nussbaumer got the ball up to the Purdue 35. Elliott gained two, but Michigan was offside on the next play, and Yerges- was then thrown at mid- field while trying to pass. Elliott at this point perpetrated one of the best-executed plays of the game, fak- ing a quick kick and shooting a bullet pass down the middle to Renner at the 30. Renner Snags Pass Nussbaumer made it a first down on a reverse at the 21, and he and Dan Dworsky collaborated for anoth- er at the 11. Two line plays picked up only ono yard, but Elliott then tossed a perfect running pass to Ren- ner in the end zone, who made a circus catch by taking the ball out of the hands of DeMoss, defending on the play. Chiames again convert- ed, making the score "27-13, where it stood until the final gun. Statistics showed that Purdue piled up 13 first downs to Michigan's 10 and gained 173 yards rushing to 145. The Wolverine had a 149 to 92 edge in passing and a 284-265 margin in total offense. Eleventh Win Over Purdue It was the eleventh victory against two losses in the series for the Wol- verines. The win gave them a 4-1 record in Conference play and a 6-3 season total. For Purdue, it was the second loss of the season and also the second in the Big Ten. The starting lineups: Unde rdog MSC Crushes Penn State rs, 33-0 EAST LANSING, Mich., Nov. 17- (g)-Penn State's Orange Bowl-bound Lions struck adetour on their road to the Newv Year's Day classic today as they were decisively upset by a rebounding Michigan State college eleven, 33-0. It wasn't merely a sound smother- ing-it was gridiron humility-as the air-minded Spartans came back after losing to mediocre Great Lakes to slap down a Penn State outfit which had previously lost only to mighty' Navy, and then by only four touch- downs. Spartans Start Early Coach Charlie Bachman's football machine got into gear early in the first period and continued to operate through four hectic quarters, scor- ing once in the first, twice in the second and once each in the last two stanzas. Passes set up all five Spartan touch- downs, three of which were actually scored on aerials. Fullback Jack Bres- lin tallied twice on plunges, end War- ren Huey made two touchdowns on tosses from halfback Russ Reader and Reader himself scored another on a PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17- OfP)- Army's incredible team just about clinched its claim to gridiron immor- tality by overwhelming a supposedly strong University of Pennsylvania eleven, 61 to 0, before an awed crowd of 73,000 at Franklin Field today. That furious pair, Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard, each scored three touchdowns before they were with- drawn from the carnage in the third period., What the final score might have been had the Cadets' magnifi- cent first team been permitted to go the route was anybody's guess. Serve Warning on Navy In racking up their 17th straight victory the Cadets ran their scoring total for eight games this season to 380 points against the opponents' 33. They served dire warning on Navy, whom they meet a fortnight hence in this town. The Cadets piled up 383 yards by rushing to Penn's 56, and passed for another 139 to the Quaker's 92 yards. Not shown by the statstics was the fact that two touchdown runs by Blanchard in the first quarter were called back because the officials de- tected an Army back in motion. Not until the closing minutes of the game, when Army's third team push the ball past midfield. Then the Quakers put together four straight first downs and drove as far as the Cadets' 14 before they were thrown back. For those who revel in figures, it was disclosed that Davis averaged 9.9 yards for the eight times he carried the ball, and that Blanchard picked up an average of 6.5 yards per carry in 15 attempts. This, however did not take into account what they did after catching passes. Pettit, Barron Lead Sail ors toy 36-7 Win BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 17-(A)- Navy's undefeated and once-tied football team rolled over a highly spirited but overmatched Wisconsin eleven today by a score of 36 to 7 in a game featuring touchdown runs by two scoreless Middie ball carriers. Jim Pettit and Bill Barron galloped 70 and 54 yards respectively, as the Midshipment collected five touch- downs and a safety on a Wisconsin punt blocked by left guard Jim Car- rington. Jack Currence added four extra points from placement in five tries. Wisconsin's touchdown came in the closing minutes of the first half on an 18-yard pass by the Badgers di- minutive but mighty Jerry Thompson to quarterback George Fuchs in the end zone. Left tackle Martin Meyer place-kicked for the exrta point. Navy, playing its final game before the annual engagement with Army December 1 in Philadelphia, had to work for victory over the Badgers, who were sparked by Thompson, five- feet five inches tall and weighing 158 pounds. The little fellow was a threat every time he carried the ball and the par- tisan crowd of 35,616 cheered lustily as he skirted the ends and slanted off tackles for gains, and especially in the third quarter when he got loose for 21 yards to Navy's 31. But he fumbled on the 21 and Navy recov- ered. Army's Davis, Blanchard Duo Runs Wild; Middies Top Badgers West Point Head May Eye Bowl Bid NEW YORK, Nov. 17-(/P)-Maj. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, Superin- tendent at West Point, said tonight that he still is "considering" whether he would permit Army's great football team to play in the Pasadena Rose Bowl game New Year's Day if a bid was tendered the unbeaten Cadets. Taylor, who arrived from Phila- delphia where he witnessed the Cadets' 61-0 massacre of Pennsyl- vania, declared that the Army has not received any feelers for a post- season tilt. i pass from quarterback Dom Conti.was in the game, did Penn manage to Bring On Those Buckeyes!
