144. Carter Eludes Badger Tackier, By CHARLES Dl'NKLEY. Evanston, 111., Oct. 26. LTt Northwestern Wildcats, scenting the Western Conference championship, came from behind in a desperate fourth-neriod surge today to conquer Indiana, 20 to 7, be- fore 40,000 spectators.

The victory enabled Northwest ern to retain its posnion among the nation's undefeated and untied elevens. Up to the middle of the fourth period, the Hoosiers not only led the Wildcats, 7 to 6, but had outplayed them by a wide margin. The surge started with Ollie Hahnenstein, halfback, intercepting Hal Hursh's pass on North-western's 43-yard line. After two line smashes, he heaved a 40-yard pass to Al Butherus, who was downed in his tracks on the Hoosier seven. Hahnenstein smashed the line for three, then George Benson IRISH AIR ATTACK DEFEATS ILLINOIS Strike From UnexDected Quarter to Win by 26-0 Margin.

A few seconds later Jim Mc-Guire, coming into the game to replace Hursh, stood on his own 28-yard line to punt. Big Alt Bauman smashed through and blocked the kick, the ball bouncing off his chest and rolling to the seven where Jimmy Smith, Negro end, grabbed it and ran unmolested for touchdown. Benson again place-kicked the point. The Wildcats, playing sluggishly with their star, Bill DeCorrevont, on the sidelines because of a badly sprained ankle, scored first at the start of the second period after they had begun a 71-yard drive late in the opening quarter. At the start of the second, with the ball on the Hoosier 46, Hahnenstein passed 25 yards to Floyd Chambers, who ran IS, being chased out of hm.nris on Indiana's nine.

Badgers Win After Rivals Run Ball On Fourth Down Instead of Punting Out of Danger. By W. BLAINE TATTOX, Sport Editor The Star. West Lafayette, Oct. 2fi.

A crowd estimated at 22,000 home coming spectators trudged out of Ross-Ade stadium just hofore dusk here today muttering: "You simply can't lose a football game that way," after seeing Purdue bow to Wisconsin, 14 to 13, in the final seconds of a thrill-packed battle. It was a heart-breaker, both to the players and old grads who assembled here. We doubt if there has been sik-h a game won or lost on a Midwest gridiron since the famous Ohio State "boner" at the very finish of that celebrated matinee of a few years back when It was playing host to Notre Dame over at Columbus. With less than eight seconds of play remaining and Purdue lead ing, 13-to-7, 30 yards away from their own goal line, fourth down nnd 12 yards to gain, a line plunge was attempted to kill a bit more a forward lliass. The Boilermnkor rWnnco spread, but not down the side-lines.

Then Ray kicked the needed extra point and the Kn- gineers were whipped by that margin as the ball game was over. All Scoring In Last Period. All of the scoring was done In the final period, the first two touchdowns being hung up by the Hoosiers for a 13-to-0 lead. These were erased in the last six minutes of the tilt, Wisconsin coming back with a 64-yard march for its first touchdown, then winning as re lated.

Betore reaching "pay dirt" at the opening of the fourth quarter the Boilermakers were knocking in touchdown territory three different times but failed to cash In. It was the same old story which often Is reflected in statistics. These were all against the red-jer sied invaders. The losers netted 265 yards in rushing as against 79 for Wisconsin and made 13 first downs to six but that's not the (layoff window. The game wag played under a bright sun and many spectators shed their coats.

Only a slight breeze wag blowing, which made Ihe choice of goals at the start of little Importance. The Boilermaker received the opening kickoff, with Carter snatching the leather and bringing it back to his own 25 after which a quick kick sent the' hide down to the Wisconsin 32. The visitors were offsido and then thrown back for five more on an attempted reverse which caused them to punt to the Purdue 30. It wag here that Carter snaked through tackle on a beautiful broken field run of 60 yards to the Badger 10 before being pulled to the turf. Held (ioal Attempt Fails.

His jersey torn, his pants ripped, and his face smeared with dirt, Tommy roared to 17 and 15-yard gains just before the game ended. If Penn had dented his whipcord and whalebone armor he didn't show it. The game scarcely was five minutes old when Harmon, shaking off tacklers with each swing of his hips, each drive of his legs, swung around right end for 19 yards and a touchdown. The way for the score was paved when John Dut.cher, Penn back, fumbled Harmon's punt and Kelto recovered for Michigan on Penn's seven-yard line.

A bad pass from center pushed Michigan back to the 19, but the Wolverines scored on the next play. Using the old Minnesota buck lateral. Fullback Bob Westfall faked a plunge Into the line and handed the ball to Capt. Forest Evashevski who lateraled to Harmon.

BON I. Ithaca, N. Oct. 26. I1 Cornell's fine football team had to come from behind today to keep Its record Intact, but was tremendously Impressive in doing so as It walloped Ohio 21 to 7, In the Big Red's first and only in-tersecllonal game of the year.

In Its first three games this season, Cornell was able to get off in front, and keep tolling. But this afternoon, before a capacity crowd of 34,500 In Schoellkopf stadium, the Ithacans were rocked right hack on their heels by the Buckeyes' powerful opening drive, yet had poise, power and all-around proficiency enough to make it a runaway in the second half. Of these three, poise probably was the most important. Almost any other team might, have been thrown completely off stride by the 89-yard scoring march Ohio State Turn To Page 42, Column 2.

Twice they pitched touchdown passes in the first period and two more tosses good for 40 yards and a first down on the Illinois three set up another score in the second period.

With the issue clearly settled, Notre Dame returned to power offense and marched 63 yards for touchdown No. 4 with five minutes of the game remaining. With the temperature at 81 degrees, Coach Elmer Layden's shock troops delivered six minutes after Ihe opening kickoff with a seven-yard touchdown pass, Fred Evans to Steve Bagarus. Joe Laiber missed the attempted placement. Illinois, apparently keyed to Bob Zuppke's feared "upset" pitch, contributed three off-side penalties at crucial moments, and Notre Dame's first march of 51 yards and Evans's wobbly pass to Baearus broke its heart.

Illini Fade Quickly. The Illini faded quickly when Layden shot in his mop-up squad the highly-efficient Irish varsity. in three plays, the regulars scored from the Illinois's 46. It was in that series that Bob Saggau, Notre Dame's great disappointment of 1939 and under par for three games of 1940, returned to his sophomore greatness. His 29-yard touchdown pass to Steve Juzwik was the first of five consecutive completions.

Capt. Milt Peipul place-kicked the extra point. Leading, 13 to 0, as the second period opened, Notre Dame tried a running attack and advanced 69 yards to the Illinois one, but four straight plays rushed the Irish back to the nine. That, threat was soon repeated and the Irish scored Calls On Juzwik.

St. Louis, Oct. 26. A fourth-quarter rally that brought three touchdowns fell short today as Washington University's Bears won a football game from Butler's Bulldogs, 27 to 19, before some 5,000 onlookers. Left Halfback Schwenk scored two of Washington's touchdowns, threw a pass for another and made three extra points.

The Bears received the opening kickoff and tallied a touchdown without relinquishing the ball, Frost, right halfback, skipping 47 vards 1o score after a series of line plays had pushed the Bulldogs back into fheir own territory.

Schwenk's pass to Turley in the third quarter was good for another Washington touchdown and later the left halfback, after advancing the ball with passes, went over from the three-yard line. Blanked for three periods, the Rulldoes came to life in the final quarter.

A crowd of 59,000 saw the 195-pound all-America back sweep around end for Michigan's first touchdown, rifle a beautiful pass for the second, kick both points after the scores, do all the punting for his side, and a great share of the tackling. Harmon made the game a one-man show, completely eclipsing Penn'a Francis Reagan, who, before the game was rated by many as Tommy's equal, if not superior. But Reagan, face to face on the field with Harmon, and with no press clippinsg to bolster him, couldn't stand the pace. The Penn star had one of the worst days of his career, and was removed from the game midway in the final period, weary and frustrated. Keep Going Until the Knd.
