A -s Winners Score On 2 Passes In 2d Quarter Before 71,119 By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN Champaign, 111., Nov. 18 (AP) Illinois, the great running team, produced two aerial touchdowns off trick plays in the second period to surprise mighty Ohio. State 14-7 today and shoot ahead in the Big Ten Rose Bowl race.

Ohio, recovered his second fumble as sophomore Klevay bobbled. Later Chuck Gandee led a spurt to the Illini 28 before Ohio State was stalled. Had Averaged 41 The Buckeyes, who had averaged 41 points per league game before being tamed today, almost gave Illinois another touchdown at the outset of the first period. Popa pounced on Fred Bruney's fumble on the Buckeyes' 20 and from there Illinois moved to the one before Dick Raklovits lost five yards to cancel the threat. Stevens, the 171-pound Negro who had been Karras' understudy, gained 73 yards in 14 carries for a 5.57 average.

Janowicz averaged 4.29 in 21 trips and Klevay rattled off an average of six in 10 thrusts. Major, failing to click many times on quick jump passes, hit on six of 15 tosses but the strikes riddled the Buckeyes' hopes. Janowicz connected on five out of 12 for 59 yards and Curcillo on three out of six for 33. In all, Ohio State outgained Illinois in total yardage 299 to 209 but the Illini's fast charging line held the seven-point favorites when it counted most and kidnaped their passes at timely intervals. Ineligible for the Rose Bowl, Ohio State can cinch the Big Ten crown by beating Michigan next week and also eliminate any hopes the Wolverines may have of going to Pasadena.

Michigan defeated Northwestern today for its third win against one loss, to Illinois, and a tie, to Minnesota. Illinois could cinch the Bowl bid with victory over Northwestern next week, which would give Coach Ray Eliot's outfit a 5-1 league mark. Wisconsin, with the advantage of a seven-game schedule, winds up against Minnesota. A triumph would give the Badgers a 5-2 record. Illinois' only loss in eight games for the entire season was 7-6 to Wisconsin in a downpour.

It's natural, however, for Parilli broke four records for passing, one a national mark, here today as Kentucky It was the first Big Ten loss for Ohio State, ranked last week as the nation's top team in the A.P.

poll. Muffled on the ground as never before this season, the Illini pecked at the Buckeyes' weakest spot, pass defense, and clicked superbly before a capacity throng of 71,119 wild fans. One Left to Play The win, the Illini's fourth in five league games, shoved them ahead of Wisconsin in their torrid duel for the bowl bid. Each has one more game to play. Little Fred Major, wearing a chin mask to protect a broken jaw bone, faked a jump pass in the first two minutes of the second quarter and finaly fired the ball to Don Stevens.

The former Youngstown, Ohio, prep star snared it on the Ohio State 28 and, as defender Fred Brunley lunged at his heels, skipped loose to flee for a touchdown. The play was good for 52 yards and the tally was Stevens' first in two years at Illinois. Six minutes later the Illini thrust again through the air to what became the clinching marker. The drive was touched off by Illini Joe Hall's recovery of Chuck Gandee's bobble on the Illinois 47. With hobbled Johnny Karras streaking 12 yards, the Illini covered the distance goal-ward in seven plays with Major finally pitching the last five yards to Stevens in the end zone.

The payoff pass came on a spread formation off a fake punt, a play nursed along in secrecy all season to be used today. Klimek Fumbled Just before the touchdown, Major's toss to end" Tony Klimek on the same spread alignment was fumbled by the great end, but Stevens snapped it up in midair to make it count and set up the touchdown on the next down. Sam Rebecca converted bolh times. With three and one-half minutes left in the explosive second period, Ohio State became the first team of the season to score on the ground against Illinois' steeled defense. Ohio State's Vic 'Janowicz, every bit an All-American today, and Tony Curcillo, the injured Buckeye quarterback who played brilliantly, used end Tom Watson as their passing target on three plays that gained 59 yards.

Janowicz eventually slammed over from the 4 to end an 83-yard surge in 10 plays. He also converted. Two intercepted passes and a recovered fumble quelled Ohio State just as it appeared that the Buckeyes were wound up for touchdowns. Herb Neathery filched a Curcillo pitch in the third, and Al Brosky. minutes later stole a Janowicz aerial.

Both times the Bucks were striving to piece midfield and seemed to be rolling, i In the finale, Walt Klevay's 22-yard run ignited a 70-yard Buckeye blast that ended on the Illinois 10 when Eli Popa. a defensive fullback from Canton, Statistics Ohio State 111.

nessee coming up next week, Coach Paul Bryant had his Cats running basic plays and basic pass patterns, showing absolutely nothing to Tennessee scouts. The major part of the battle was played by the substitutes. The Jones twins of Louisville, Harry and Larry, ripped and snorted, so did back John Brain-ard. Quarterback Bill Farley again shone in taking over for Parilli. Parilli set the S.E.C.

record for touchdown passes the very first time the Wildcats had the ball. Kentucky received a punt on its own 31-yard line and did not use a running play. The Babe tossed the ball seven times, completed five aerials for the first touchdown. He picked up his 19th T.D. pass of the season as well as 69 yards.

Bruno received the touchdown toss, Gain converted and it was 7-0. Invaders Gamble The plucky Sioux gambled on fourth and two on their own 35, but failed to gain. Kentucky took over. Parilli threw two more passes one to Jamerson on the 23 and to Bruno once again for the touchdown. Gain again converted, to make it 14-0.

The Cards took the kickoff opening the second half, and with the dynamic Pence and Brewer tearing off huge yardage they looked like a new team. However another holding penalty set them back to their 30 after they had advanced to midfield. Johnny Shelton was forced to kick and here the Cards got their biggest break of the day. Safety man Dave Waters fumbled the kick on fhe General 15 and guard Gene Feagan recovered for the Cards. Louisville wasn't to be denied after this smile from Lady Luck.

They took it all the way with Karns going over on a quarterback sneak. Rivenbark kicked the point from 17 yards out after a holding penalty nullified his first try. The teams then exchanged long scoring drives. The Generals brought the next kickoff back 64 yards without a halt, with Randy Broyles chugging over from the 7. Michaels' kick gave the Generals an apparently insurmountable 27-7 lead.

But the fighting Cards came ever so close to surmounting it. They made the score 27-14 on a 70-yard drive with the ensuing kickoff, Karns again getting the marker on a quarterback sneak. They closed it to 27-21 the very next time they got the ball, driving all the way from their own eight and closing out matters with Lucia's 32-yard swep around right end. The Cards appeared to have It moment later when Weining recovered Broyles' bobble. And it seemed a certainty when Pence got all the way' to the 16.

But another red flag, in a season of heart-rending red bandanas for the Cards, squeicnea tneir nopes celebrated after their By JIMMY BROWN took Louisville's Car- it i dinals two quarters to forget their Miami press clippings yesterday at duPont Stadium, but when they did they put on a stirring rally that' fell short just five points as they lost 33-28 to Washington and Lee. The Cardinals trailed 20-0 at the half as the Southern Conference leaders' high-powered offense apparently had everything its own way. A disappointing crowd of 10,000 settled down for more of the same during the last half. But came the final two periods, and the Cardinals, broken hand and all, erupted into a furious scoring machine that left the astounded Generals reeling and rocking and nervously watching the clock at the finish. Sparked by big John Brewer, who took his regular right-half position despite a cast on his broken left hand, the Cardinals John Brewer Sparks U.

late rally Mips 35-0 touchdown when he intercepted Rocky Byrd's- pass and raced 33 yards to the Ole Miss 33. Lauricella and quarterback Jimmy Hahn worked the ball to the Rebels' two in four plays. Then Herky Payne came in for Lauricella and smashed over. Pat Shires connected with the first of five conversions to run his total for the season to 31. Andy Kozar, Tennessee's sophomore fullback, collected Tennessee's second and third touchdowns.

The 190-pounder from St. Michael, skirted right end from the five to cap a 76-yard Tennessee march late in the third quarter. He broke off right tackle and raced 55 yards for his second score. ff 1 3. "vcu trouoiesome Continued on PXT Column 3 p-r 01 iu liners ill iiic idsi.

uui for a mighty assist by an offi- cial, the Generals might never have gotten out alive. In one heartbreaking sweep of his handkerchief, he dashed Cardinal hopes to rubbish as U.L. appeared only 16 yards away from tying matters with just 4 minutes left in the game. With the score at 27-21, Red Weining grabbed a General fumble on the W. L.

44. Bill Pence, Card fullback, dashed around right end all the way to the 16, but a Cardinal was holding on the play. Instead of threatening on the W. L. 16, the Cardinals were set all the way back to their own 43.

And on the next play, the Generals set up what was to be the winning touchdown. Bill Karns tossed a pass out into the flat, which General center Paul Giordani plucked out of the air on the Card 40 after considerable juggling and returned to the one. Walt Michaels went over on the next try to make it 33-21, but still the Cards weren't dead. Ross Lucia returned the next kickoff only to his own 6. On the next play Karns passed to Gene Sartini, who made a great catch on the General 49 and strode free on a play covering 94 yards.

Dave Rivenbark's kick made the score 33-28 with 2:43 left, but the Cards never got the ball thereafter. The Generals were hanging on to the ball desperately as time ran out, counting the seconds and using their allotted 25 each time before snapping the ball. Crashes Over Center The Generals found the Cardinals' first-half defense just a memory of what, it was in the Miami game. The Southern Conference leaders, operating behind the clever ball handling of Gil Bocetti, marched 84 yards to score the first time they got the ball, which was on the opening kickoff. Biggest gain in the first touchdown drive was made by Bocetti on a left-end sweep.

It v(fcs for 34 yards and put the ball on the Card 17. On the aext play, Michaels charged over center for the rest of the yardage. Michaels also added the point and it was 7-0 with only 3 minutes and 34 seconds gone by. The Generals succeeded again with only 53 seconds left in the Mundorff? JJS predicted in The Courier-Journal thre weeks ago, it appeared last night that Roy Mundorff would become the new athletic director at the University of Louisville. Mundorff, assistant athletic director at Georgia Tech, has been offered the job by the University of Louisville.

He will come to Louisville December 10 for talks with the board of trustees and Acting President Eli H. Brown III, Mundorff, contacted last night In Atlanta, said he looked with favor on the situation at U.L. and the promise f2t holds. swamped the plucky but out- manned University of North Dakota by 83-0. While the Babe was rolling up these records in the 18 minutes the played behind the enthusi-astic support of his teammates, Kentucky was hanging up its first Southeastern Conference championship.

Only Georgia Tech stood in the way of the Wildcats' making history, and Jthe Engineers were dumped by Alabama. 20,000 Attend It was truly an historic day in Kentucky football annuals, and some 20,000 fans were on hand to observe it. The Wildcats ran their victory string to 10 straight against no defeats, and tackle Bob Gain and end Al Bruno shared in the recording-making honors. Gain made 10 points after touchdown, tying the S.E.C. mark for one game set by George Jernigan of Georgia against Fur-man in 1946.

Gain might have made it 11, but he and the rest of the first team left the bench for the locker room near the end of the third quarter, so Bob was not on hand to attempt conversion on the last two T.D.'s. Bruno ran his number of touchdown passes received to 10, thereby smashing the mark of nine in the S.E.C. set only this season by end Rocky Curtis of Vanderbilt. Today, Bruno caught four scor- ing aerials from Parilli. Actually Kentucky's first- stringers saw no action after mid- way of the first quarter in this glorified scrimmage.

Parilli i played just the first 18 minutes and here are the records he made: 1 The national mark for the most touchdown passes in one season 23. The previous mark was 22, set by Stan Heath of Nevada in 1948. 2 The S.E.C. record for the most yards gained by passing in one season 1,477. He did this by accumulating 198 yards today on IS completions in 20 attempts and in hurling for five T.D.'s.

The former record was 1,392 yards, owned by Frankie Sinkwich of Georgia in 1942. 3 The S.E.C. record for the most touchdowns accounted for in one season 28 by passing and running. Charlie Conerly of Ole Miss accumulated 27 T.D.'s in 1947. Now the Babe has 23 touchdowns by the air route and five on the ground.

Parilli, of course, also shattered the S.E.C. record for T.D. passes. Conerly pitched 18 in 1947. The Wildcats scored at least twice in each quarter.

With Ten Tennessee xi 5 i 1 I Ole Miss Knoxville, Nbv. 18 (AP) Tennessee rolled to a convincing 35 to 0 victory over Mississippi today to set the stage for next Saturday's Sugar Bowl preview with Ken- pt iTJ i 's y- i i tucKy nere. 'i Displaying tremendous speed and power, the Tennessee Vols struck quickly for two touchdowns in the first quarter, picked up one more in the third and added two in the final stanza. Tfce triumph gives Tennessee a season's record of eight wins against one setback to take against the unbeaten, untied mark of Kentucky. The outcome was never in doubt after Hank Lauricella guided Tennessee on two quick scoring thrusts in the opening period.

Mississippi, with fullback John Dottley powering for 78 yards on 22 tries, made only one serious scoring gesture. It came in the third period when the Rebels' cause was already lost.
