Michigan, after absorbing a heart-breaking 7-0 loss at Illinois last Saturday, looked far from the team which had won three straight in mid-season and had given the highly rated Illinois such a battle. The statistics tell part of the story-although not all. The Wol- verines fumbled five times. Two of these they lost. Cornell intercepted four Michigan passes. Three of these were instrumental in the scoring of the three touchdowns which spelled defeat for Michigan. Michigan was futile in its ground efforts. The Wolverines picked up only 39 yards by rushing, with several losses sustained on pass at- tempts. Line Play Weak BACKFIELD PLAY WAS SPOTTY at best. But line play was per- haps the key reason for the loss. The Michigan forward wall, great against Illinois, was lifeless against Cornell. Bill Putich, a game tailback and leader, was constantly rushed on pass attempts. And the five interceptions were a result of this lack of protection, in part at least. The Cornell campus the night before the game was generally stoical about yesterday's contest. Most of the Big Red fans ex- pected Michigan to take the school above Cayuga by two or three touchdowns. Michigan fans who came down for the game were stunned by the defeat. The Big Red just didn't look that good. The small size of the Schoelkopf Field stands made the crowd an overflow one. Temporary bleachers held part of the crowd of 35,300. But what it lacked in size, the Cornell crowd made up in spirit. And that spirit seemed to flow into the fingertips of Jackie Jaeckel, the fine young Cornell quarterback who guided the Big Red to its first two touchdowns. Jaeckel andhis teammates were fired up for the clash. Wolverines Practice in Snow THE WOLVERINES have been working out in snow all week long. They haven't had a chance to repolish the single-wing offensive which was present in only its barest essentials on the slippery turf at Champaign last weekend. As a result, Cornell had the edge insofar as practices are con- cerned. There hasn't been nearly as much snow here in the past week, and what there was had melted by Wednesday. Perhaps we should make that few teams just two-Michigan State was the other one. At any rate, the Big Red threw so many rocks at the Maize and Blue that some Michigan fans were afraid they were robbing the high schools round these parts. * * * * Jaeckel Red Standout OTHER THAN JAECKEL, no one man stood out for the Big Red, though it was Whelan's punts that staved off all Wolverine scor- ing thrusts save one in the first half. Names like Merz, Seidenberg, Hull, Scazzero, Engel, and for a few seconds, Calvo, drifted in and out and every one of them seemed able to handle whatever assignment came his way. Putich was far from his usual self at the tailback spot. Although he ran well, the hard-working senior seemed to have suddenly de- veloped a case of the jitters. He fumbled twice and his passes were not as sharp as he's capable of. Michigan now faces its last two conference games with a stern necessity on its mind. It must win both these contests if the great record of winning seasons, which extends back to the beginning of Fritz Crisler's reign in 1938, is to be continued. With four losses al- ready on the record, the Wolverines need both the Northwestern and Ohio State games to finish with a winning percentage. Big Ten BYSDEVARtTa Standings (Continued from Page 1) other Jaeckel pass applied the coup de grace. With the ball resting on the Michigan 39, the cool-headed quar- terback flipped a fluttery ball to Stu Merz on the identical playj which scored the first marker for the Big Red. Merz cut across the middle, took the ball on the 20, and outsped the Michigan secon- dary to reach paydirt. -~ * * MICHIGAN'S attempt to get back in the ball game was foiled immediately by another intercept- ed pass. This time John Dorrance, Cornell defensive halfback, took Putich's short pass intended for Tom Witherspoon, and the Big Red had the ball on the Michigan 39-yard line. The two teams exchanged punts in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter and desper- ate Wolverine attempts through I the air produced no dent in the Cornell defense. For the third time, a Wolverine lapse set up the Big Red's scorig thrust. Putich, who was rushed continually by the hard-charging Cornell line, threw a flat pass to Stanford on the Michigan 20. Stanford wasn't there but Mar- chant was, and the fleet-footed safety man went all the way to the one-yard line before being tackled, of Perry through the air, the Big Red could scatter their pass de- fenders and the quick charge of the Big Red line took care of matters the rest of the way. The loss gives Michigan a four- lost and three-won record for the year. It was the 12th time the Cornell team has beaten the Wol- verines, as against five Michigan wins. The Big Red have now won five and lost two. First Downs ....... Rushing Yardage Passing Yardage Passes Attempted . Passes Completed .. Passes Intercepted .. Punts ............ Punting Average:.

By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES-(!P)-Stanford's Indians, set aflame by a scoring 96-yard touchdown run by full- back Bob Mathias of Olympic de- cathlon fame, came from behind in the final minutes yesterday to defeat Southern California, 27-20. The victory gave Stanford the inside track to the Rose Bowl. Trailing 14-7 as the final quar- ter began to unfold before a roar- ing crowd of 96,130, the handsome Stanford star took a kickoff in front of his own goal posts on the four yard line and, racing to the right, sped all the way. The flaming Stanfords, a ter- rific troupe of T-stylists, sudden- ly struck again. Linebacker Skip Crist intercepted an SC desper- ation pass by Frank Gifford, and raced back 29 yards to the Tro- jan 12. Mathias got two, Kerkorian passed to Wes Laubscher for three, but an offside put the Indians back to the 12. Halfback Harry Huga- sian more than made this up with one lunge to the one-yard mark. He then added the yard-and the winning points, as the clock began to run out. ILLINOIS 44, IOWA 13 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Sophomore quarterback Tommy O'Connell whizzed three first-half scoring passes to end Joe Vernasco as un- beaten Illinois, the nation's num-' ber two team, chomped Iowa, 40 to 13, to vastly strengthen its Big Ten title and Rose Bowl chances yesterday. Ranked second only to Tennes- see in the Associated Press nation- al rankings, Illinois not only un- corked the brilliant O'Connell-to- Vernasco passing combination, but hurled a rocking defense at Hawk- eye fullback Bill Reichardt. MINNESOTA 16, INDIANA 14 MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota added a new chapter to its football repertoire yesterday by defeating Indiana, 16 to 14, for its first Big Ten victory of the season. A safety was the margin of vic- tory. As usual, the Gophers displayed a powerful ground and aerial of- fense during the first half to build up an apparently safe lead. PURDUE 35, NU 14 EVANSTON, Ill.-Guided by lit- tle Dale Samuels' two long touch- down passes and excellent general- ship, Purdue smashed Northwest- ern 35-14 yesterday in a surpris- ing upset that boosted the improv- ed Boilermakers into fourth place in the Big Ten race. It was the Boilermakers second league victory in three starts, their first over Northwestern since 1944, and it kept them mathematically in line for a possible title share and Rose Bowl bid. BOWL BOUND ATLANTA-Unbeaten but once- tied Georgia Tech rolled over Vir- ginia Military Institute, 34-7, yes- terday on the accurate passing of Darrell Crawford and immediately landed in the Orange Bowl. Less than a half hour after the game, officials of the Miami, Fla., post-season game announced that Tech already has been/signed and sealed for the Jan. 1 date. It will mark Tech's fourth appearance in the Orange Bowl. OUR COLLEGIATE CUTS are styled to please! 9 Barbers - No Waiting The Daseola Barbers I ii 4004 1904? "Which one is this, Sis.
