On second down, with the ball on Michigan's 48, Smith feinted a run around his own left end, halted suddenly and whipped a long pass to Herman Frickey, who was run out of bounds by Kuzma on Michigan's five.

Then came the Minnesota prayer.

Rocked back on their heels and reeling after a bruising first quarter. Coach Mike Casteel's Wildcats took to the air in two brilliant offensives in the second quarter to shove over two quick touchdowns, settle the issue and grab their third straight Border loop victory. During the first quarter neither team penetrated the other's 20-yard line, and at the end of the period it still was anybody's ball game.

Then the Wildcat's struck with their devastating aerials, and when the half time period ended the firing, the Bulldogs had been bombed from the Border Conference championship throne they occupied the past two years. But Coach Dixie Howell's boys didn't think so at that time, and for that matter didn't give np until the precious minutes of the game just ran out and there wasn't any more. The game resolved into a battle of "key" iron men, as both coaches kept their ace performers in the fray for the victory that meant so much not only in conference play but in Arizona sports history. Five Arizona gridders went the 60-minute route, and four Bulldogs dug in and battled the entire game. With the victory goes most of the laurels but the Wildcats must have left the field singing the praises of Ray Green, Tempe's All-Border Conference center last year, who not only was one of the Bulldog's 60-minute men but who was gamboling in the Arizona backfield at least half that time, messing up Wildcat plays.

went into the game with a reputation as a great competitor, and came out with added luster And the Tempes had Al Onofrio, who booted them out of more than one embarrassing situation, and was in there from the opening kick-off to the final gun. And they had Lucien Luckett and Bob Lackey at the ends, who turned in exceptional performances, and their other 60 minute men Glen Johnson and Dom Campolo. But they pay off on the score, and the Wildcats scored a mighty big 20 points. The Blue Brigade launched the scoring in the second quarter when the Bulldogs kicked out of bounds on the Arizona 18 after they failed to make any headway against the Wildcats' stout forward wall. In just five plays and despite a 15-yard penalty setback, Arizona had its first big touchdown.

Bill Smetana, the famed "ghost" of a great freshman team of two years ago, who hit his stride in the Wildcats 31-6 rout of New Mexico's Lobos last week, started the drive by faking a reverse and shooting through the line for six yards. He failed to complete a pass to Herb Vail, end, but repeated his fake play, cut through the line, danced to the east sideline and roared on a weaving run to the 18 before he slipped and fell just as he was about to be boxed in by three Tempe men. Bernie Singer, Arizona fullback, lost three yards on an end sweep, and the Wildcats were temporarily stalled when shoved back to the Tempe 38 on a 15-yard holding (Continued On Page 4, Sec. 4) Huskers Fall To Missouri pOLUMBIA, Mo, Oct. 25 (AP) Nebraska battered itself in vain Coach Bernie Bierman of the Gophers cast a worried eye over men turned in their second straight upset today to blast Navy's perfect football record with a scoreless tie did just that and then rocked the set.

Oct. 25 (AP) University of Mississippi's fast little Rebel "football team ran the socks off Tulane's big and supposedly fast team today, knocking the Green Wave out of any possible bowl consideration with a 20-13 upset before 45,000 spectators. Ole Miss slippery little backs squirmed repeatedly through the big Tulane defenders, who stumbled after them vainly. Junior Hovious scampered 78 yards for one Rebel touchdown and 145-pound Jackie Flack went 48 yards for another.

These scores followed an 80-yard drive for the first Mississippi touchdown. Tulane got its touchdowns on a pass from Lou Thomas to Walt McDonald that covered 44 yards, and a 62-yard push. Tulane drove 46 yards the first time the Wave got the ball, until Oie Miss took over two yards from its goal. But right after Merle Hapes punted dead on the Mississippi 44, Lou Thomas hurled a running pass to Walt McDonald, who took it on the 20 and scampered across. Soon afterward a punt exchange gave the Rebels the ball on their 20 and it took only nine plays, plus an offsides penalty, to cross Tulane's goal line.

Passes bv Hovious and running plays by Hapes and Ray Terrell carried to the one. Hapes pounded guard for the score. Pep Bennett's place kick put Ole Miss permanently ahead. After a couple more punts Flack, Hovious' tiny understudy, faked a pass, ran wide to the left as Tulane's charging linemen were sucked in, and flashed down the sidelines 48 yards to score.

Oregon scored in the second period on three plays two of them highly spectacular exhibitions featuring Halfback Curt Mecham, Oregon's candidate for Ail-American honors. Mecham started things off when Oregon took the ball on their own 31 after a UCLA fumble. Tom Roblin. Mecham's halfback mate, made four yards on one play and then rattled 65 yards over the UCLA goal on a reverse from Mecham. Officials ruled Roblin had stepped out of bounds 35 yards from the goal and the ball was put in play at that point.

Mecham immediately took things into his own hands, and on the next play raced 35 yards around his own left, end, sidestepping Uclans all the way to the end zone. Fullback Newquist converted from placement. UCLA outgained Oregon all during the first half, but retired at jialf time on the short end of a 7-to-0 count. What Coach Babe Horrell told the Bruins during the rest period evidently registered in a big way because the team exploded two sensational touchdown rallies in the third period to win the game. Both Bruin counters came within the space of three short minutes.

The first march started on the UCLA 40-yard line. Plunges by Fullback Noah Curti, mixed with end slashes by Capt. Ted Forbes and passes by Bob Waterfield. sophomore quarterback, worked the ball steadily down the field until it rested on the Oregon 18-yard line. After losing three yards on a lateral, Waterfield passed to Burr Baldwin, a substitute end, who was standing all alone to score in the end zone.

Fullback Ken Snelling converted from placement. Less than three minutes later I'CLA struck again when Mecham punted to Captain Forbes on his own 41-yard line. The tiny UCLA leader reversed his field and raced 77 yards to the Oregon two-yard line, where Tom Roblin nipped him from behind with a spectacular shoestring tackle. Dean Strawn, a substitute sophomore halfback, failed to gain on two line smashes, but on the third play took a lateral from Bob Waterfield and ran his right end to dive over an Oregon tackier, to score. Snelling again converted.

UCLA threatened again in the fourth quarter, gaining to the Oregon eight-yard line. After a timeout penalty threw them back to the 13-yard line, Snelling tried a field goal from the 20-yard line.

N. Oct. 25 (UP) The Army mule kicked another hole in footballs' dope bi.cket today when the revitalized Cadets, marching as smoothly on the gridiron as they do on the parage ground, retained their precarious position in the perfect record ranks with a 13-0 upset of layered Columbia. The Cadets used the old Army game -now you see it, now you don't with perfect success. Working behind a bewildering screen of reverses, fake reverses and fancy spinners, they drove 73 yards to a touchdown the first time they received the ball, then led all the way to a triumph that was their fourth in as many starts.

A wildly approving throng of 20,000 in tiny Michie Stadium saw the Cadets strike without delay. With lanky Ralph Hill, a slim six-foot operative from Santa Fe, N. gamboling along like a lrolicsome colt. Army started to move immediately after the kick-oft. Starting on their 27, the Cadets needed only 18 plays for the touchdown and a lead that never was headed.

Hill, a third-stringer on the plebe squad a year ago, ripped off 46 of the 73 yards himself and climaxed the drive by scampering 16 yards around left end for the tally in the seventh minute of play. G. C. Smith kicked the point for a 7-0 Army advantage, and that ended the scoring until the last two minutes of the game. At that time Columbia, which hadn't crossed midfield in the first half, came back with several scoring threats in the final period, attempted a long pass from behind its own goal line.

Collins brought only two weeks ago, was a different club, carrying the fight to the favored Broncs from the new and deceptive formation of Coach Dewey Luster.

Santa Clara, striking back with a touchdown in the second quarter, was in the battle until the waning minutes. The 21,000 rain-soaked spectators had settled down to watching a tight duel in the swampy field when the Sooners scored midway in the first period to set up the victory margin. Ken Casanega fumbled and End Lyle Smith of Oklahoma recovered on the Bronc 31. Jacobs, who played the best game of his career, kicking, running and passing, hit his receivers with three straight passes to sweep to a touchdown. Little Orv Mathews snagged the payoff pitch at the goal-line.

Jack -Haberlein came in and place-kicked the extra point. Casanega hurled a 13-yard touchdown pass to End El Beals for a second-period score, but the kick for point was blocked. When Freitas fumbled on his 15 in the fourth, Haberlein, the Sooner kicking specialist, came in and kicked a field goal from a slight angle 14 yards out. The third, and fatal Santa Clara fumble found Campbell, Oklahoma fullback, covering the ball on a messed-up attempt to lateral on the Bronc 14. An offside gave Oklahoma five, and then Jacobs bucked it over in three tries, bulling through center from the two-ytrd line with only 15 seconds left in the game.

Haberlein missed the kick. Crowd 'Blocks' For Footballer EAST LANSING. MichM Oct. 25 (UP) Wayne University of Detroit lost a football game to Michigan State today but scored its first touchdown of the season with several thousand spectators running interference. The moment the gun sounded ending the game, a major part of the crowd of 15,200 swarmed across the field toward the exits, believing Michigan State had won, 39 to 0.

A second before the gun sounded, however, Nick Cher-up, left halfback, intercepted a pass deflected from the foot of Hugh Davis of Michigan State and ambled 72 yards through the crowd and through players of both teams who were leaving the field.

Sophomore Maurice (Red) Wade, Missouri substitute quarterback, filched a pass from Dale Bradley to start a 64-yard march to the touchdown threshold. Don (Bull) Reece, fullback, lowered his head and bulled through the center of the Huskers line for the score after a minute had elapsed in the final period.
