By The Associated Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 11-A pow-
erful Illinois eleven pushed Ar-.
my all over Yankee Stadium in
today's biggest gridiron battle,
but the Black Knights from West
Point defended their goal line
tenaciously and at the conclu-
sion of the rough struggle before
65,000 the two undefeated elevens
settled for a scoreless tie.
Illini Fall Short
Repeatedly the Rose Bowl
harrpions from Champaign drove
deep into Cadet territory, once
missing a field goal from the 15-
yard line and again piling up on
the Army seven, while the Cadets,
showing no passing attack what-
ever, made only one rather puny
gesture at the Illini goal.
Army thus completed its 31st
successive game without a loss and
only two scoreless ties to mar the
great string, but few of those in
today's big crowd were ready to
place the latest model from the
plains in quite the same class with
the Blanchard-Davis machine of
the past three seasons. The Cadets
did not complete a single pass to-
day, and attempted only one in
the second half.
Army Stopped Cold
Illinois, itself working on an
eight-game winning streak,
brought East a rugged, hard-
tackling line which stopped Ar-
my's running attack cold when it
counted. Their big and fast backs,
led by Russ Steger and Art Dufel-
mneier; repeatedly threatened to
rip through to scores, but never
quite brought it off.

By The Associated Press
LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 11-
Out-rushed and out-fought for
four full quarters, Notre Dame's
football Irish defeated Purdue's
battling Boilermakers today, 22-7,
because quarterback Johnny Lu-
jack threw pass after pass straight
into the arms of his receivers.
Irish Not So Tough
Purdue's seven points were the
most scored against Notre Dame
in the one game since the 1945
season. Last year the unbeaten
but Army-tied Irish gave up four
touchdowns, but Art Haverstock's
point-after-touchdown placement
today was the first extra point
marked up against the Irish in
two seasons.
Legitimate Gripe
Coach Frank Leahy of Notre
Dame complained early this week
that his team lacked a consistent
ground attack and he wasn't kid-
ding. The Irish had a net gain of
89 yards by rushing, to Purdue's
128.
Notre Dame beat practically the
same Purdue team last year, 49 to
6, with fullbacks John Panelli and
Mike Swistowicz reeling off fre-
quent long runs. They were back
for today's game, but Purdue
wasn't getting out of the way.
Lujack, though, was a problem
Purdue couldn't solve. The six-
foot Pennsylvanian completed 14
of 23 passes for an aggregate of
176 yards. He passed for one
touchdown, ran 26 yards for
another, and set up the third with
another forward.

Michigan State
Tops Wash. St.
By 21-7 Count
By The Associated Press
PULLMAN, Wash., Oct. 11-
Striking through the air and on
the ground, the Michigan State
College football team defeated the
Washington State College cou-
gars 21-7 today in an intersection-
al game before 20,000 fans.
George Guerre's running and
passing played a prominent role
in two Michigan State touch-
downs.
Guerre broke loose on a 26
yard jaunt in the first period to
set up his 50-yard touchdown
pass play, with Warren Huey
on the receiving end. In the sec-
ond period he tossed a lateral to
Bob Krestel who went 31 yards
to Washington's eight. Guerre
was hurt on the next play that
netted him two yards. Lynn
Chandnois circled end for the
score. George Smith place-
kicked both points.
Trailing 14-0, Washington State
drove from their own 28 for the
score and made it a 14-7 game.
In the last quarter, the Cou-
gars were forced to kick out to
midfield and the Spartans made
no progress and punted to Paul
who dropped the ball on the
Cougar 10. The Spartans re-
covered on the 16. After Michi-
gan State lost 15 yards for hold-
ing, Eugene Glick passed 13
yards to Waters for a measured
first down on the 6. On third
down, Horace Smith went five
yards around end for a touch-
down. George Smith kicked his
third placement.
Middie Rally
Ties Duke14-14
BALTIMORE, MD., Oct. 11-
Navy staged a tingling movie-
thriller finish today and scored in
the final 10 seconds when full-
back Bill Hawkins rammed over,
the Duke goal from the one yard
line to gain a 14-14 tie and end
the Middies' 10 - game losing
streak.
The 35,000 customers had just
about settled back for another
Navy defeat when Duke broke
a 7-7 deadlock with three and a
half minutes remaining in the
fourth period on a Fred Folger
pass to end Ed Austin, good for
4 yards and a touchdown.

(Continued from Page 1)

iod, Michigan's forwards were
opening up the holes, but four
Wolverine fumbles held up the
parade. The downfield blocking,
conspicuous by its absence almost
all last season, was very much in
evidence yesterday. Not only Dcr-
ricotte's touchdown jaunt, but
the 115 yards Michigan gained on
pass interceptions offers proof of

yard.
3. Bump Elliott, pass inter-
ception, 35 yards.
4. Derricotte, punt return, 80
yards.
5. Mann, pass from Weisen-
burger who took a lateral from
Yerges, 22 yards.
6. Teninga, off tackle, two-
yards.
7. Teninga, pass from Pete
Elliott, seven-yards.
8. Peterson, spinner, f our
45 yards and a touchdown.
9. Ford, lateral from Derri-
cotte after pass interception, 55-
yards.
10. Kuick, flat pass from Pete
Elliott, 15-yards.
Fullback Dick Kempthorn was
Michigan's only casualty as he
suffered a bruised knee.
Pittsburgh's offense, though
completely bottled up, featured a
versatile passing attack with no
less than seven men doing the
passing. The starting halfbacks,
Jim Robinson and Lou Ciccone al-
ternated as passers and receivers,
but Michigan's defense was al-
most airtight. The forwards con-
tinually harrassed the Pitt pass-
ers and therein lies the story of
the effectiveness of Michigan's
pass defense.
Sidelights on Game
Jim Brieske kicked one of the
longest extra points of his ca-
reer, yesterday, when he con-
nected from the 24-yard line.
After a successful conversion

following a Michigan touch-
down, the Wolverines were pen-
alized 15 yards for holding.
With Derricotte kneeling on the
24-yard line, Brieske booted a
perfect kick. He's missed two
so far this season.
Pitt halfback Mark Maystro-
vich lost more than yardage while
returning a kickoff. After racing
to the 32-yard line, Mr. Maystro-
vich lost his pants.
Jack Weisenburger threw
what was probably his first in-
ter-collegiate pass since he was{
reassigned from halfback to
fullback duty way back in 1945.
The result was a iouchdown.
For the second straight week
Michigan ran into a sensational
punter. Pitt provided a match for
Stanford's long booting Mike Dur-
ket in quarterback Bill Hardisty,
who's big trouble was he out-
kicked his ends and enabled Der-

S

ricotte, Elliott and Fonde to get
up full heads of steam.
Hardisty's best effort was a first
quarter punt from his own 20-yard
line to the Michigan fifteen on the
fly.
Real Work Begins
Fritz Crisler's University of
Michigan Wolverines now look
ahead to Saturday's clash with
Northwestern University, the first
of six Western Conference foes,
all bent on upsetting the favored
Ann Arborites.
Though the sharp - shooting
{Wolverines are expected to dump
the Wildcats on their home
ground at Evanston, Northwestern
looms as no easy-match team, and
one that has always made things
difficult for Michigan.

Texas Victors
In WildGame
B, The Associated Press
DALLAS, Tex., Oct. 11-Bobby
Layne pitched Texas to a 34-14
victory over Oklahoma today in
the wildest of the 41 games that
have been staged by these south-
western rivals.
At the finish several thou-
sand of the 45,500 fans piled
from the stands and engaged in
hot arguments on the field while
officers escorted the game offi-
cial away in a police car.
The game was punctuated by
fights among the fans and pop
bottle throwing as spectators vent-
ed their anger.
The big, rough bruising Okla-
homa line manhandled the
Longhorns physically-so much
that the Sooners drew costly
penalties.
