The Gophers, rambling as they pleased, scored twice in the second quarter and added a field goal in the third. They lost two other touchdowns, both on long runs, when the plays were recalled by penalties. THE VICTORY left Minnesota a half-game out of the running for the Rose Bowl bid as North- western whipped Illinois, 20-7, and wound up the campaign with a 5-1 record. Minnesota lost twice in e, seven starts. Wisconsin, winding up a dis- mal year with only one Big Nine victory in six starts, never had a chance. The Badgers spent the first 57 minutes of the, game in their own territory-and then got only two yards over the mid- field stripe with three mniutes to play. A slick forward-lateral pass counted the first Gopher marker. The play, starting on Wisconsin's 35-yard lind following a punt, 1 opened with a short pass from Billy Bye to Harry Grant and closed with a lateral to Stan Thiele who went the last 10 yards. FOUR PLAYS later Minnesota was back again, Ken Beiersdorf crashing over tackle for 37 yards x and the score. Gordon Soltau, who missed the conversion after the first touchdown, booted success- fully for a 13-0 halftime lead. EVANSTON, Ill.- () - North- western's Rose Bowl Express, gath- ering steam . behind a great running attack made just a whistle stop out of Illinois yesterday. The Wildcats of young coach Bob Voigts rolled to a 20-7 tri- umph over the Illini, their last hurdle en route to Pasadena and the New Year's Day classic. Northwestern all but cinched the trip, which must be formally ap- proved by'the Big Nine conference. It closed the regular campaign with a 5-1 league record for sec- ond place and a season mark of 7-2. MICHIGAN is ineligible to re- turn to the Rose Bowl under the } Big Nine-Pacific Coast pact =after making a victorious appearance last season. A chilled capacity crowd of 48,000 in Dyche Stadium cheered Northwestern to its triumphal finale over a traditional confer- ence foe pent-up for a costly upset. The Wildcats zipped 71 yards in eight plays for a first quarter touchdown and turned a pair of breaks into tyo more counters in the second period to lead, 20-0 at halftime. Northwestern's quarterback, Don Burson, attempted only two passes in the brisk winds which swept the gridiron. He overshot one receiver then much later speared Joe Zur- avleff, whose broken arm is in a cast, for a 23-yard touchdown in the second quarter. THE SCORING PLAY was set up when Illinois was penalized 15 yards for clipping after taking a kickoff, eventually gaining the ball on its own one-yard line. Dike Eddleman's punt against the wind went only 34 yards-he averaged 44.8 for the game-and Peewee Day returned it to the 23. Then Burson flipped. One minute prior to the touch- down pass, Northwestern had punched its second tally on one of those one-in-a-season flukes. Illinois, behind sizzlin' Sam Piazza's 34-yard run, had rammed to the Northwestern 37. From there, Bernie Krueger's short pass was juggled in midair by Russ Steger. Day jumped up and stole it, churned five yards then la- teraled to end Chuck Hagmann. Hagmann, a big bruiser who has been nursing a leg injury, forgot about his troubles long enough to gallop 65 yards to score. THE WILDCATS, who out- rushed Illinois 239 yards to 149, looked at their best in the 71-yard first quarter payoff surge. Frank Aschenbrenner, spe.edy halfback, touched it off with a 17-yard sprint and capped it with a 23- yard scoring scamper off tackle as Eddie Nemeth threw a key block. Jim Farrar, after missing the first conversion, booted the two other extra points. EAST LANSING, Mich.-(P)- Michigan State's spirited Spar- tans, rolling almost at will on the ground, closed their home football season before 36,045 fans yester- day with an impressive 40 to 0 rout cf Washington State. Although three Spartan touch- downs were called back for pen- alties, Michigan State hit the 40-point mark for the fourth straight time with three scores in the opening period and three more in the last half.

Then Teninga faked a jump pass and handed the ball off to Pete Elliott who faded and passed to Koceski on the 23 yard line. Elliott stepped in and passed to Allis on the Buckeye 11. After Koceski had taken a re- verse to the 10, Teninga faded back to pass. He saw no one clear and slithered through a host of Scarlet-clad tacklers all the way to the three-yard stripe. From there Peterson bulled his way over and even though Allis' kick was no good, the ball game was as good as in the bag. Ohio tried to strike back through the air, but Elliott snared a Rod Swinehart pass deep in Michigan territory and the 1948 season was history. FOR ELEVEN Michigan men it was their final game in the uni- form of the Maize and Blue. Ends Dick Rifenburg, Ed McNeill, and Don Hershberger, tackles Ralph Kohl and Joe Soboleski, guards Quent Sickels, Captain Dom To- masi, and Stu Wilkins, center Dan Dworsky, and backs Pete Elliott, and Gene Derricotte ended their collegiate careers in a blaze of glory. Rifenburg was outstanding on offense and McNeill was bril- liant. Tomasi, Sickels and Sobo- leski were making tackles all over the place. Dworsky played a sterling game as linebacker, Der- Buckin' Bucks Mich.

While more than 80,000 fans gripped their seats in excitement during a thrill-filled game, the big Bears, 6-1 favorites and ex- pected to win by 20 or more points, fought their toughest battle of the season. The game started out as if to run true to predictions that the Bears would run over Stanford. The Bears received the kickoff. They marched 59 yards for the score. Fullback Jack Jensen, mak- ing an impressive bid for All- American honors, was the big punch in the touchdown drive. He slashed off the tackles and end for gains of 18 and 16 yards, re- spectively, then Jack Swaner scored. The Indians made good in the third period, when fullback Bill De Young recovered Jensen's fumble on California's 22-yard line. Three plunges at the line put the oval 11 yards from the goal. Sophomore quarterback Tom Shaw connected with a jump pass over the line to right end Ken Rose. The latter pound- ed five yards, dragging a couple of Bears with him. The play that cost Stanford a tie followed. Quarterback Aubrey Devine, a left-footed kicker, prac- ticed placements this week in an effort to bolster the Indians in this department. But the ball slithered off his foot, and the team that was supposed to lose by several touchdowns trailed. 7-6. LAWRENCE, Kas. - ({P) - A mighty and magnificent Univer- sity of Oklahoma football team clinched the Big Seven Conference football championship today by swamping Kansas, 60 to 7. The Sooners' fleet backs, operating be- hind a mechanical blocking line, reeled off nine touchdowns. Some 40,000 fans, one of the biggest gatherings in Big Seven history, watched the Sooners bullaoze their. way to one of the most decisive victories in modern Big Seven football his- tory. It was their twelfth league game without defeat, their eighth successive triumph of the season, and their fifth and final victory in the conference for 1948. Scoring as they pleased, the Sooners found the east t~urf to their liking and struck for three touchdowns in each of the first and second quarters, one in the third and two in the fourth. Even the Bowl Scouts, report- edly in the stands, must have marvelled at the vicious and ac- curate blocking-in the line and down field-of coach Bud Wil- kinson's Oklahoma powerhouse. The Sooners shook halfback Darrell Royal loose for a 73-yard punt return. They mopped up the Kansas resistance as quarterback Jack Mitchell chalk-walked the west side line 63 yards on a punt run-back. Mitchell stood dead still at the 50, barked directions to his blockers, then ran the last 50 untouched. IT'S A HAIRCUT!! blended and shaped to your facial features - styled for you alone.

Main St. Phone 6924 f FIT r _ F STILLWATER, Okla. - (P) - Striking through the air for four of its six touchdowns, the Okla- homa A & MV Cowboys passed over Kansas State's Wildcats 42-6 here yesterday before 12,000 spectators. THE OKLAHOMANS cut loose all four touchdowns in the first quarter. They toyed with the Kan- sas team the rest of the contest. Coach Jim Lookabaugh used his reserves after that first period. Kansas State was outplayed in all departments but scratched in the third quarter on one of the neatest runs of the contest. With the Wildcats on their 39, Ken- ney Johnston took the ball and ran three yards, then lateraled to Ross Estes who ran through the Oklahoma A & M secondary to the goal. Six Aggies scored with Jack Hartman passing for two of the touchdowns. LOS ANGELES-(/P)-Southern California's Trojans and the Bruins of UCLA fought a bitter cross town rivalry yesterday and the favored Troys ground out a 20 to 13 football triumph before 76,577 wildly excited followers. The loss was UCLA's seventh this season, and wound up their 1948 campaign. The Trojans have one more game ahead, with Notre Dame here Dec. 4. A keen onlooker was the Irish coach, Frank Leahy. In the second quarter, Southern Cal took the lead as halfback PHILADELPHIA- (UP) - After fencing around for the-first. half, Holy Cross exhibited some very fancy ball passing in the final two periods to score a 13-7 victory over Temple yesterday at Temple Sta- dium before 5,000. It was the fifth win of the year for Dr. Bill Os- manski's squad. LITTLE ROCK - (J)-Even a guard got into the scoring act as the Arkansas Razorbacks crushed winless Tulsa University 55 to 18 in a wild football game before 18,000 yesterday. The Razorbacks, operating without their injured star, Clyde Scott, mixed razzle-dazzle with the single wing attack to parade to paydirt in every quarter. The game was such an offensive show that there wasn't a punt until late in the third period. Guard Frank Lambright made a touchdown when he grabbed a Tulsa fumble in the air and ran 21 yards untouched. Arkansas converted two Tulsa fumbles into an early 14-0 lead and increased it to 28-12 at the half. Pierce Sought As Fans Howl DETROIT-(A)-A howl from Tiger baseball fans has prompted the Detroit American League club to try to buy back Billy Pierce, young left handed pitcher traded to the White Sox. Pierce went to the White Sox in a straight trade for Aaron Rob- inson, veteran catcher. But Detroit fans rebelled against losing the home grqwn 'Billy so the Tiger management is making cash offers to the Chicago club to get him back. So far, the White Sox have shown no inclina- tion to sell Pierce back to the Bengals. 1 ORPHEUM An Intimate Theatre Bring- ing Cinema Triumphs from All Nations TODAY The Thrill of Thrills That the World Could Not Forget!
