Following last week's 33-13 Win over Maiquette, the game marked the first time that the Bearcats scored five touchdowns in two games in a single season and turned in successive Victories since li)54. So tremendous was the Bearcats' command of yesterday's game, so complete their control of every situation, that Detroit was virtually helpless after the first period.

Even the Titans' last-period touchdown was a virtual gift. It was the most points scored on Detroit since the 31-19 loss to the Oklahoma Aggies in 1954, and the Titans' worst defeat since the 62-21 game with Tulsa in 1952. F1KST GOOD GAME IIEKK Most important to the who attended was the fact that the George Blackhuni-coached Cincinnati team finally and completely looked GOOD on their own soil.

Morrison gained 14 yards on the play before being stopped on his own 35-yard line in the final play of the first period. The Bearcats scored in each of the four periods as they defeated the Titans, 33-7, for their third triumph in seven starts. Enquirer (Kain) Photo. 1 Bucks Settle For 6-2 Win To Write Big Ten Record .2, 1 Statistics 9 the 33-0 conquest of Xavier In 11151 have the Bearcats put together four honcst-to-goodness quarters of fine football, but there's no doubt they did it yesterday. And there are plenty who think the eagle-eye scouting from Blackburn in the press box- had plenty to do with trie outcome.

Only at the opening stages was Detroit really dangerous. In its first series ot downs alter the kickoff I.ou Faoro, a dangerous quarterback who wasn't used enough, ran wide to the left then threw a diagonal pass to Al Korpak. The play gained 61 yards to the Uearcat 15. Two plays later, however, this threat was snuffed out when Faoro, bumped on a handoff, fumbled and Gene Johnson recovered on the 14. It was only the first piece of work in a brilliant afternoon for tlie young, sophomore end.

MOHIUSO.V KAMIU.KS The ice-breaking score came at. exactly the midway point in the first: period. Dick Chapman, Detroit's kicker, lofted a high punt that Joe Morrison momentarily hobbled on the Cincinnati 38. When the crack Bearcat quar ck finally grabbed the ball he evaded four tacklers in the middle of the field, found himself completely clear and went 68 yards to a touchdown. Phil Evans kicked Uie extra point to make it 7-0.

A drive that started two plays before the end of the first period carried 78 yards In seven plays for (ho next Cincinnati touchdown early in the second stanza. Captain Jack Ciordon took a pitchout for the long gainer In the march, rambling 55 yards around right end before he was hauled down from behind. The Cats got a helpful break on this one, too. Running from the nine, Jim Niemann was thrown for a four-yard loss, but Detroit was found offside and penalized to the four. Then, in two plays Bob Del Rosa cracked over, tvans added another conversion, and it was 14-0.

A few minutes later the Bearcats broke out again. This time it was a perfectly called screen pass with the ball at midfield. Morrison pitched it to Bob Del Rosa who, behind the finest blocking seen on Carson Field in a long time, scampered all the way to a touchdown. This time Johnny Hyder's extra point, tried from the seven, was wide, but it was- apparent to all that nothing would stop Cincinnati now with a 20-0 halftime lead. GORDON SCORES AGAIN The Bearcats punched 65 yards in seven tries, early in the third period, and once more it was Jack Gordon showing the way with a 41-yard scramble around right end after taking another pitch-out from Morrison.

It then trx)k Jackie, Walt Gordon and Morrison six plays to punch It in from the 26, with Walt scoring from the three. It was quarterback Billy Williams who sent Gordon in, as Morrison, on the preceding play, suffered an injury to hit right ankle and was taken out. Morrison later walked out of the dressintr room under his 4 Norttiwflt'fl Ohio Start Firil Cownl 11 1 Suihint yardaet 214 177 Passini yardaot 19 79 Pastel attempted 5 16 Pastes completed 2 9 Passes intercepted by 2 0 Punts 7 4 Puntinf averait 28 4 41.1 Fumbles lost 0 1 Yards penellied 15 100 for the final two periods. It required, however, a fumble of the kickoff by Meyer at his 30 to stake the Aggies with new capital, for this stroke of luck put them beyond midfield for the first time. In five plays, the Aggies had a touchdown, Callahan nailing halfback Ron McClary with a down-the-mid-dle pitch in the end zone from the 22.

AGGIES SLOWED A picked up fumble by Xavier at midfield sent the Muskies to the Colorado 25 before they surrendered on a series of misfired passes. From this juncture, Colorado used the pass to move into Xavier territory. The advance was halted by a pass interception and a Lane kick pinched the Aggies, in at their one. Again the Aggies were forced to punt, this rolling dead at the 34. Five whacks into the line moved to the 23, whereupon Lane passed short to Krebs.

The junior end was trapped behind the Jine of scrimmage, wiggled free and behind a wave of blockers dashed to the goal. He added the point for a 27-7 lead. Inside the last four minutes, the Aggies mustered for the last touchdown. This was a drive to start at their 83 and finished as Callahan spotted halfback Wayne Walter behind the secondary. This pass spanned 48 yards.

McClary added the 14th point. Coach Mick Connolly, moving all 11 Xavier seniors into the -line-up in their home finaie, saw his charges use a tackle eligible pass play to Denny Davis for a first down at the Colorado 10. This final thrust was stinted by a pass Interception on the game's last play. Colorado 0 0 7 7-14 Xavier 6 14 0 7-27 Meyer thrilled a sparce Xavier Stadium gathering of 6000 with some slashing runs and two touchdowns and Bertoia hoisted his seventh scoring pass of the season in a two-pronged attack that gave the Muskies their sixth triumph in eight games. The Aggies, victims of a savage snow anil icy weather conditions that delayed their sir arrival here until a.

m. yesterday, and later thrashed by a tenacious Xavier defense, shook free from a lethargy when quarterback Jerry Callahan passed for two second-half touchdowns on plays of B2 and 48 yards. Xavier packed 226 yards from scrimmage into three first half touchdowns, measured by Bertoia's 59-yard scoring pitch to end Bob Young and goal line scampers by Meyer of one and eight yard lengths. Sophomore quarterback Ralph Lane and junior end Tom Krebs teamed on a 22-yard pass-run play for another touchdown in the fourth quarter. In the entire first half the Muskies cruised pleasurably through, around and over the bewildered Aggies for a 20-0 lead that missed by inches of ballooning to a four-touchdown spread.

Its most devastating ground showing since early season saw Xavier turn its backs free for 116 yards. Two Bertoia pass completions added another 95. XU DEFENSE TOUGH An iron jawed defense, meanwhile, shortcircuited the Aggies at every turn. By half time the Invaders counted a puny 25 yards from scrimmage three on the ground. The defeat, No.

5 for the defending Skyline Conference champions who have a triumph and a tie in the records, wasn't recorded before the Aggies exhausted a splendid exhibition of dogged determination and nifty know-how. In the rugged second half comeback, the Aggies actually outplayed the Muskies, gaining 173 yards to 105. Xavier finished with a 331-yard total against the Aggies' 198. The sun-splashed game barely was five minutes old before the Muskies traveled 85 yards in nine plays for a touchdown. Six line smashes advanced to the 41 from where Bertoia, on his third pass attempt, wheeled to his right and shot a strike to Young.

The 193-pound junior flanker made a one-hand snatch on the Colorado 43, sidestepped one defender reversed his field to an avenue paved by forming blockers. No one laid a finger on Young in his contribution to the 59-yard scoring play, LANE INTERCEPTS Later in the first period. Lane picked off an Aggie pass near midfield and ankled to the 33. Five running plays smashed to the one-yard line. Here the Aggie line stiffened and in two succeeding blasts by Xavier backs yielded only 18 inches.

This fine goal stand was temporary for the Aggies only until the Muskies regained possession. Taking a kick on the Colorado 40, they ground to a touchdown in five plays. Bertoia set up this with a 36-yard hoist to end Steve Junker. This vanned the attack to the four and in three plays, Meyer knifed through left guard for the TI), whereupon Young added the point from placement when his placekick skidded off the helmet of a lineman and continued on through the uprights. As half time approached, the Muskies converted a Colorado fumble into a 20-0 advantage.

Xavier's crashing ends jarred loose the ball from quarterback Poe Corn and tackle Joe Polich fell on it at the eight. Meyer took a pitch-out from Bertoia and circled end for the stand-up score. Young again converted. This 20-0 bulge seemed safe enough as the teams returned 7 EVANSTON, 111., Nov. 3 (1 Ohio State's Buckeyes, favored by 20 points, beat the halftime gun by 16 seconds for a touchdown today and made it stand up for a 6-2 Big Ten football decision over tenacious Northwestern.

The conference victory was Ohio State's 16th league decision in a row, setting an all-time Big Ten winning streak. The hard-won triumph rubbed out the previous mark of 15 that first had been registered by Michigan in a span between 1946 and 1948. Northwestern, playing before a home-coming throng of 42,000, twice threatened in the first quarter only to settle for a safety and a 2-0 advantage. The aroused Wildcats, who haven't won a Big Ten game since 1954, cruised to the Ohio State one when they first got the ball in the opening period. Bobby McKeiver's 56-yard sashaying run set up the chance, but tiie Buckeyes held and took over.

Finally, Buckeye quarterback Frank Elwood was forced to punt from the end lone. The kick was blocked by Al Viola, the ball bouncing behind the end lone and pounced on by Northwestern's Cliff Peart. It went as a safeiy. Northwestern then began another inspired drive, moving 43 Behind the line punishing power of Jim Roseboro, Clark and Elwood's "keep-it" shots, the Buckeyes slashed 45 yards in 12 plays at the outset of the third period. But they failed to make a fourth-down-and-two-to-go situation and the Wildcats took possession on their own 15.

That was as near to a touchdown as Ohio State came In the scoreless second half. The anxious Wildcats found themselves hamstrung with five 15-yard penalties, mainly for holding. In the first quarter, Northwestern was set back 30 yards on successive infractions, one for holding and then for unsportsmanlike conduct by Viola, who had thrown his helmet disgustedly to the ground. In all, Northwestern was penalized 100 yards. Clark, with 79 yards, and Roseboro, with 66, were the Buckeyes' best (rround gainers.

McKeiver slammed 66 for Northwestern, and Ed Quinn 37. However, the Wildcats' No. 2 quarterback, Ellis, stole much of the show. He netted 26 yards on keep-it plays and connected on nine out of 15 passes for 79 yards. But Ellis also had several lapses in calling plays.

The worst came midway in the fourth period after the Wildcats had thrust 36 yards and seemed on their way to a touchdown. On the Ohio State 44, Ellis chose a jump pass on third down with one yard to go. The ball was nearly filched and on the last down no headway was made and the Buckeyes took over. yards to the Ohio State six before being halted. Jack Ellis' 14-yard pass to end Ben Papolski, who snared five tosses during the game, gave the thrust its main lift.

But after this demonstration. Northwestern only twice got beyond midfield again, and those jaunts carried just to the Buckeye 46 and 44. With the clock running out before Ohio State's Tom Dillman stole an Ellis pass and the nationally sixth-ranked Buckeyes prowled 63 yards In seven plays for the game's cnly touchdown. Runs of 18 by Phil Robinson and 24 by Don Clark gave the drive momentum. Elwood passed 12 to Gaien Cisco and then hit Brown in the end lone for a seven-yard payoff.

Frank Kremblas' conversion attempt was wide. Northwestern turned in a magnificent job, six times stop- ping Ohio State's pulverizing ground attack after it looked as though the Buckeyes would get a sustained drive under wav.

Army Victor, 55-46, Over Colgate Eleven In Battle Of Offense WEST POINT, N. Nov. 3 Dick Stephenson and fullback Boy Kyaski lead Army to a wild, wooly and wonderful victory over Colgate today, 55-46, in one of the highest scoring football games in major college annals. The combined score of 101 points broke a Michle Stadium record, the former mark having been set by Army in defeating Dii Uonson, 89-7, in 1929. This was the most points ever scored against Colgate in its history.

Yet Army had to come from behind, 26-21, in the third period to do it. Neither team seemed cap.ihle of a defensive stand. Army won by running faster and farther. A capacity crowd of 27,462 that included Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco enjoyed the fantastic contest. Three men scored three touchdowns apiece.

Juhn Call led Colgate with a trio of short plunges. Kyasky made the longest run of the game, 70 yards to score in the first period, and counted twice more on plunges of one and two yards. But it was Stephenson's pass catching that turned the tide for Army. Colgate started the last half trailing, 21-20, and promptly went ahead when Charles Grivaltis broke loose for 47 yards and Call carried over from the seven. Stephenson took over at this point.

He scored first on a 35-yard pass from Dave Bourland. set up another touchdown by taking a 16-yard pass from Bourland to the Colgate one, and then tallied acain on a 42-yard pass play to put Army in front, 41-26. Again Bourland was the thrower. Colgate came hack for three touchdowns but Army UC-Detroit UNE-UPS CINCINNATI left Ends: Preslev. G.

A little later, with pile-driving running by Keith Dewitz, and short bursts by Bob Del Rosa and Harry Maroney, the Cats punched to the 16. but Williams' pass to Paul Johnson, Ione in the end zone, was too soft and knocked down. Detroit finally tallied early in the final period on an embar-rasing play for Bearcat quarterback John Hyder. Back to pass nnil badly rushed, Hyder threw the ball wildly from the goal line and Mike Flynn grabbed jt nn the six. An offside penalty on UC then gave Detroit the ball a yard away from promised land, Finn carried it across.

Korpak kicked the extra point. The Cats added the final tally late in the last period. They went 48 yards in four plays, with Dewitz covering the final yards on a dazzling run that once more was accompanied by fine blocking. Cincinnati gobbled up every available statistic including a 4i-yard kicking average. D-tr-rt 0 0 0 7-7 13 7 -j-23 Detro Sor nq; Touchdown, Vicfcey H.
