Cappelletti made his second
straight conversion and the Go-
phers led, 14-0.
Duncan McDonald replaced Lou
Baldacci in the Michigan lineup-
the first string signal-caller being
'taken from the field with a face
cut. But the next series of plays
only brought the bal out to the
Michigan nine beforeBranoff was
forced to punt from his own end
zone and he again lifted a weak
kick-this one only lofting out to
the Wolverine 28.

MINNESOTA moved it to the
four before Jim Soltau fumbled a
Giel pass and burly John Peckham
recovered on his own one. Pack-
ham had replaced first-string cen-
ter John Morrow when the big
Ann Arbor lad was taken to the
dressing room for repairs. Five
plays later, Baldacci, back in the
game with his face swathed in
bandages and protected by a plas-
tic face mask, had his pass inter-
cepted on the 43 by the ever-pres-
ent Giel.
The. Gophers worked it back
down to the Michigan two be-
fore Coach Ben Oosterbaan's
charges held. Baldacci then
made it two for two as he tossed
one to Gopher Jerry Johnson on
the Michigan six-and Minneso-
ta was in business again.
But two penalties and a heads-
up play by Don Dugger forced the
Ski-U-Mah outfit back and the
closest they could come to the
goal was on a 16 yard pass from
Giel to. Soltau ending on the
Michigan eleven. 1
Branoff finally cut loose a good
kick but Giel reared up and with
three completed passes and a trio
of runs brought the ball to the
Michigan 15. Morrow, back in the
game by this time, intercepted his
pass on the six.
Observers expected the tradi-
tionally weak-finishing Gophers
to fold In the second half, but
the great Giel dispelled all such
ideas when after Michigan's at-
tack stalled once again, Branoff
kicked one to him on the Minne-
sota 25 and he proceeded to
' make fools of hte Wolverines.
Giel swerved, danced, leaped,
back-tracked, reversed his field
and only a spectacular shoe-string
tackle by Branoff - who leaped
over two blockers - stopped him
on the Michigan 34.
McNamara then powered his
way to a 14 yard gain, Giel fol-
lowed with an eight yard pick.
up, Holme got four and when
Giel got nothing in two more
tries on the ground, he picked
out Rutford all by hislonesome
in paydirt with a needle-thread-
ing aerial. Dugger blocked Cap-
pelletti's kick-the first that the
Gopher had missed in nine tries
this season.

Gophers had been listless and
lackadaisical in their first four
games. They were anything but
that yesterday afternoon.
Another bone of contention
among the gentlemen of the
press in this city had been the
fact that Paul Giel had failed
to call his own signal when the
team was in scoring position.
They said Giel was "too nice" to
his compatriots, and pointed out
the example of last Saturday's
Illinois game when he called
fullback Mel Holme's signal and
the play resulted in a fumble on
the Illini one yard line. The
mistake took the steam out of
Minnesota's attack and from
then on Illinois rolled to a 27-7
victory.

PHILADELPHIA - Pennsylva-
nia booted Navy right out of the
unbeaten ranks yesterday on a
field goal by husky Ed Gram-
igna from the 25-yard line that
gave the Quakers a 9-6 upset win
in the final 60 seconds before a
roaring crowd of 52,210.
Penn scored first on a 36-yard
march, literally handed Navy a
.matching touchdown and then
surged back in the dying seconds
of the contest.
IT WAS Gramigna who kicked
the bottom out of Navy's chances
for a clear record this season. He
had missed a chance for an extra
point, earlier, that would have
been a comfortable margin. But
with the chips down the six-foot
quarterback had the accuracy and
the power for the important point.
It was a big win for Penn,
previously thrashed by Califor-
nia and edged out last week by
Ohio State.

MADISON, Wis.-Ohio State's
Buckeyes battled back from a two
touchdown deficit as the fourth
quarter opened yesterday to nip
Wisconsin 20-19 in a bruising Big
Ten football game.
Junior quarterback Dave Leg-
gett hit Howard (Hopalong) Cas-
sady with a 60-yard touchdown
toss with 2:31 showing on the clock
to cap the 13-point last period
scoring splurge.
* * *
HARD-HITTING Bobby Wat-
kins, who rolled up well over 100
yards rushing before being injured,
smashed through from the two on
the first play of the final period
as the Buckeyes pulled up to with-
in striking distance.
Ohio State's closing,4ireworks
wiped out a brilliant offensive
show by young Jimmy Miller,
Wisconsin's kid 4 quarterback,'
making his second collegiate
start. The 165-pound sophomore
scored two of the Badgers'
touchdowns and pass for the
third.
A last ditch comeback by the
Badgers failed with three seconds
to go when Bill Miller's attempt-
ed field goal from 23 yards out was
wide.
THE LOSS, Wisconsin's first in
defense of its Big Ten co-cham-
pionship, was a bitter disappoint-
ment to a record crowd of 52,819
which jammed Camp Randall
Stadium.
The boisterous Buckeyes start-
ed with a bang, marching 55
yards in nine plays as Watkins
blasted the- Badger line to bits.
The drive began midway in the
opening quarter after Mike Tak-
acs recovered a fumble by Alan
(The Horse) Ameche on the
Ohio 45.
Cassady cashed in on points
on the pitchout from Leggett,
sweeping left end from the three
with Tom Hague converting.

IOWA 19, INDIANA 13
IOWA CITY, Iowa-Iowa broke
out of a 13-13 tie with a 24-yard
touchdown pass late in the fourth
period yesterday for a 19-13 vic-
tory over Indiana, to stir the Iowa
homecoming football crowd of
50,129.
It was Iowa's first Big Ten tri-
umph in three games and the third
straight conference loss for the
Hoosiers, who had hopes of at
least a deadlock after scoring 13
points in the third period.
* * *
THE CONTEST, turned into
Iowa hands when Lou Matykiewicz
tossed to end Frank Gilliam, who
made a fancy catch in the end
zone with 4 minutes and 32 sec-
onds to play.
Iowa, not noted for its pass-
ing in previous games, surpris-
ed the Hoosiers with an eight-
yard touchdown pass with only
3 seconds left in the first half,
and the first scoring break in an
evenly fought battle. Roger
Wiegmann kicked the extra
point for a 7-0 Iowa lead.
Paul Kemp, a fourth string
quarterback with a bad leg but a
good left arm, came off the bench
to make the throw to Bobby Stear-
nes in the end zone. Iowa had used
a big break to get into the scor-
ing position.
* * * *
INDIANA intercepted an Iowa
pass but interference was called
against a Hoosier and Iowa was on
the three yard line. The touch-
down came after a loss of 5 yards
on a recovered fumble.

PITTSBURGH 21
EVANSTON, Ill.-Northwestern
survived a mid-game letdown yes-
terday and, with two long passes
by Dick Thomas setting up the
winning touchdown in the fourth
quarter, scrambled to a 27-21 vic-
tory over Pittsburgh.
The intersectional football bat-
tle was witnessed by a crowd of
28,000.

THE BIG TEN Wildcats struckC
for a 20-7 lead at the outset but
found it erased as the Panthers
turned two pass interceptions into
quick touchdowns and went ahead
21-20 in the third.
It looked like Paul Blanda's
three successful conversions for
Pitt would be the difference then,
but with five minutes in the final
period, Thomas hit Joe Collier,
his former Rock Island, Ill.,
teammate, with two passes that
accounted for 50 yards in a 68
yard drive to the Pitt two.
Wayne Glassman then punched
over for the winning TD.
A subsequent Pitt comeback
carried 60 yards but ended when
NU held the Panthers on the Wild-
cat 10 with a minute left in the
game.
* ' *
THE PANTHERS got themselves
in a hole by drawing a 15 yard
started by H4E
penalty before the game even
started for not reporting on the
field in time and within three min-
utes the Wildcats had recovered
a Pitt fumble on the20 and scored.
Nick Chandler zipped over tackle
for the final 10 yards.

ILLINOIS 20 SYRACUSE 13
CHAMPAIGN, Ill.-Stan Wal-
lace's two long touchdown runs
and Elry Falkenstein's passing

ignited Illinois to a 20-13 victory
yesterday over Syracuse.
The unbeaten Illini were forced
to come from behind twice and'
didn't hold a comfortable lead un-
til Wallace's second touchdown at
the end of a 45 yard gallop, in the
final quarter.
IT WAS the speedy Wallace who
took over when Syracuse stopped
Illinois' one-two punch, J. C. Car-
oline and Mickey Bates. With
Syracuse ahead 13-7, Wallace
sprang loose in the third period
for a 55-yard dash across the goal
line. Bob Winman booted the con-
version that gave the Illini a
14-13 margin.
The Orangemen from Syra-
cuse counted first on Pat
Stark's 7-yard pass to Bob Leb-
erman, coming at the end of a
71-yard drive.
With the rugged Syracuse line
stopping Caroline and Bates, Falk-
enstein took to the air for Illinois,
and on two passes to John Ryan,
tied the score. The touchdown play
covered 51 yards, and Wiman's
successful conversion pushed Illi-
nois ahead by one point at half
time.
ILLINOIS piled up 222 yards
rushing, making its five-game
total 1,510, an average of 302.
, Illinois, playing a non-confer-
ence foe, took over the Big Ten
Conference lead as Michigan and
Michigan State were beaten.
