University of Cincinnati's line, outplayed most of the first half, rose up in the third period to lead the Bearcats to a 11-0 victory over Ohio University before a near-capacity home-coming crowd of more than 25,000 last night in Nippert Stadium. The Bearcats drove 76 yard! In 10 plays to score In the opening five minutes of the game, then held off a 77-yard Ohio push that carried to the one-inch marker on the first play of the second period. The Bearcat line slowly regained confidence during the rest of the first half, although Cincinnati was on the defensive most of the time. Photo of UC game on Page 27.

DIFFERENT STORY. But the second half was a different story, as the a i i cs showed. The Red and Black line swarmed in on a Bobcat puntef with but two minutes gone in the third period to gain a TD, then opened some beautiful plays for Allen Richards to score a final tuochdown late In the same stanza. Roger Stephens, who scored the Bearcat first TD, was again the best backfield man on the field as ha was against Dayton. Other UC backs who gained and blocked well were Jim Dougherty and Mike Graham.

Oxford, Ohio, Oct. 19 Xavier University put up quite a scrap this afternon but it was no match for Miami University's power and the Musketeers lost by a 28-6 score before 12,000 persons, the largest crowd ever to see a game here. Miami scored all four of its touchdowns In the first 16 minutes and then coasted. Xavier scored in the final minute of play through the help of a pass interference which put the ball on the one-yard line. Officials ruled that Jim Defranco, StouDen-ville, end, had been pushed in the end zone by Kinney, Miami halfback, and on the first play Frank Cortez, also' of Steubenville, crashed through center for a touchdown.

Joe Corsi, guard, another Steubenville product, missed the extra point. Coach Sid Gillman's first team rolled up three touchdowns in the first quarter and his second team made the final score early in the second quarter as the result of a blocked punt. PASS IS INTERCEPTED. Xavier thwarted the first Miami scoring thrust when Mike Viker-tosky, center, intercepted a pass in midfield early in the game. But Miami held and Xavier was forced to punt, Bob Conway booting the ball to Paul Shoults, Washington Court House halfback, on the Mi- ami five.

Shoults raced up the center of the field, picked up a couple of blockers and dashed 93 yards for a touchdown. The sscond Miami score came a few moments later on a 51-yard Miami drive, after Conway had punted dead to the Miami 49. Wayne Gibson, Gallipolis fullback, went over from the two-ya'rd mark. The third touchdown came on Jack Robinson's 19-yard pass to Shoults, who took the ball on the seven-yard line. On the first play of the second quarter Conway's punt was blocked by Mike Yuricich, Lorain end, who recovered on the Musketeer 35.

Three plays pushed the ball to the 22 from which point Carl Elber-feld, Greenfield, halfback, passed to Yuricich on the goal line for the final Miami touchdown. KICliS FOUR POINTS. Tom Cole, Lakewood quarterback, kicked all four of the extra points, bringing his total to 16 out 17 attempts for the season. One of the prettiest plays of the game was an 80-yard punt return by Tom Dugan, Musketeer halfback from Steubenville, early in the final quarter for an apparent riod at the 32 and drove back 68 yards for a second touchdown. Lund scored both touchdowns on short lengths, the first after he had accounted for most of the yardage and the clincher after Walt Slater, Tennessee's Captain, had engineered the effort to within inches of the goal.

Lund replaced Slater and scored in one play. The vastly superior line playof the Vols spelled the difference. Neyland's big forward wall out-charged and outfought the Southeastern Conference champions after the first teriod. and refused to Knoxville, Oct. 19 (AP) Tennessee derailed Alabama's high-riding Red Elephants four times in the shadow of the goal today and put together two sustained drives to dump the Rose Bowl champions from the unbeaten ranks, 12-0, before a capacity crowd of 40,000.

It was the first defeat for Coach Frank Thomas's team in a regular-season game since Georgia turned the trick in 1944. It ended a 16-game winning streak. For Coach Bob Neyland of the Vols it was the 36th straight regular-season victory, which started before he went into the Army In 1940. The Vols were a determined club and would not be denied, despite entering the game as the underdog. Harry Gilmer, the Tide's great passer, put on an exhibition that had the partisan crowd on edge, but the Vols stopped the aerial cascades when it had to.

Three times in the last quarter Gilmer passed his team inside the Vols' 10, but to no avail. Neyland's crew, with Bob Lund, a substitute tailback in a starring role, drove 46 yards to a tally in the second period and then stopped an Alabama drive in the third pe Cincy's passing twins, Billy Wil- yield at critical moments.after that, iams and Don McMillan, completed 1 fouV nassffs in eieht attempts.

Bob McQuade's 34-yard pass to Defranco, which the latter caught on the Miami 33, looked like a Xavier touchdown late in the game but Defranco fumbled on the Miami seven without a hand being put on him. He recovered the ball, however, for a total gain of 57 yards and it was this play which set up the Xavier score.

Gillman used all of the 48 players on his squad as the game progressed, evidently hiding some of the formations from Ohio U. scouts in the press box. Miami meets Ohio at Athens next Saturday. FOUR PASSES GOOD. Miami made only eight first downs to three for Xavier but amassed 212 yards to 82 for Xavier.

Miami made four passes out of eight'good for 72 yards and Xavier connected for only three out of 12, but hey were good for 73 yards. In rushing Miami made 140 yards to Xavier's nine, the Musketeer backs being thrown for losses time and again to wipe out much of tusir gains. It was Miami's fourth win in five games and Xavier's third loss in four. The lineups: more than 12 pounds to the man, really won Cincy's fourth triumph in five starts, however. Guard John Vilkoski, a substitute, played a sweet game.

Dick Langenbeck, Bill Smyth and Elbie Nickel also came through when the chips were down, and were behind defensive play that stopped the terrific Ohio driva in the first period. BRADY IS INJURED. The Bobcats missed their star quarterback, King Brady, who was hurt in the opening period. Chris Stefan, who took Brady's place, proved a capable replacement, however. Other Bobcats who caused trouble were Dick Hodona, fullback, and Ralph Sayre, who was highly touted before the game.

Bill Trautwein, John Kerns and Gen Ruszkowski were kingpins in a good Ohio line. The setback was Ohio's first of the season against three wins. Cincinnati made 12 first downs, Ohio 14. UC outgained the Bobcats, 218 yards to 77. FIRST QUARTER.

Jim Dougherty and Mike Graham combined to reel off three first downs in a row after Cincinnati took the opening kickoff. The drive carried from the Bearcat 24-yard line to the Ohio 43. At this point Roger Stephens, UC right halfback, skidded around his own left end, and without the aid of much blocking, went all the way to a touchdown. The push carried 76 yards in 10 plays. Capt.

Elbie Wiskel missed the conversion. Ohio started a drive of its own after taking a punt a few minutes later. The Bobcats marched from their own 40-yard stripe to the Cincinnati one-foot line as the quarter ended with Ohio holding the ball on fourth down and a foot to go for a score. Score: Cincinnati 6, Ohio 0. SECOND QUARTER.

The Cincinnati line stopped Ohio Inches short of the goal line. Quarterback Don McMillan got off a beautiful punt to midfield from the end zone to take the Bearcats out of a bad hole. Ohio rushed from the Cincinnati 38 to the 16 but the UC line stopped the drive again. Guard Johnny Vilkoski and Tackle Dick Langenbeck played big parts in stopping the Bobcats. Later McMillan took a Bobcat punt and galloped 25 yards, almost to midfield, but the play was called back and the Bearcats socked a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness.

Rain fell late in this period as both clubs went no place in the middle of the field. Ohio sadly missed its star quarterback, King Brady, who was injured early in the first quarter. Score UC 6. Ohio 0. THIRD QUARTER.

Cincinnati outcharged Ohio for a tounchdown in the second minute of the period. On the fourth down, Nickel, Langenbeck and Wibroskl broke through to block Bill Hartman's kick on the Ohio 35. The ball rolled backward, bounced high, and Nickel took it on the 10 and ran over to score. Nickel's placement was good. Stephens prevented a certain Ohio Princeton 14, Rutgers 0.

19 (AP) Two hurried line smashes by Walt Kretz with seconds to go fell Inches short of giving under-dog Cornell a victory over Yale today as the two anciant rivals battled to a 6-6 tie in a nerve-tingling Ivy League test watched by 27,000 Schoelkopf Field fans. Overcoming a first half 6-0 Yale lead, the Big Red forces came back to square matters in the third period on Norm Dawson's sparkling 58-yard gallop and then just missed the chance to knock off the favored Elis in the final fading seconds. Although it was a wild passing duel in which a total of 49 forwards were tossed, both scores came along the ground In brilliant bursts of speed by Dawson and Levi Jackson, Yale's brilliant Negro star. Jackson skirted his own left end with a burst of power and driving speed to reach tha end zone from the Cornell 11 in the second period. Pair One-Two; Headley Scores In Rich Event Oct.

19 (AP) Pellicle, Hal Price Headley's speedy, dark bay gelding, scored an unexpected victory here today in winning the $25,000 added Keeneland Special. Pellicle, whose previous earnings totaled $57,393 and whose victories included the Louisiana Derby, went the mile and three-sixteenths route in the good time of 1:56. He won over his stablemate, Letmenow, in taking the race. Third place went to Jack's Jill, the entry of Joe Goodwin. The race, with nine starters, was worth a total of $29,200.

In winning, Pellicle paid $8.80, $10 and Letmenow paid $10 and $3 and Jack's Jill paid $4 for each $2 ticket. The prerace favorites were Dixiana Farm's Spy Song and the David Straus's Daily Trouble, both finishing out of thp money. ST. XAVIER. P03.

A crowd of 30,798 fans saw the game in the Polo Grounds.
