Their fifth, midway in the fourth period when the game was dulling a bit, was strictly unessential, as far as the victory was concerned. Marquette humbled the Badgers before 23,000, accomplished its superiority with power-packed running, good blocking and a strong ground and air defense which nullified the spotty efforts of the Badgers.

The Hilltoppers had poise, precision and experience the things Wisconsin lacked most.

Eleven times Robert Hoern-schemeyer of Cincinnati forward passed for the Iloosiers during the first three and a half quarters before a receiver connected. Then Pete Pihos of Chicago caught two in a row for gains of 28 yards.

But the attack bogged there and hopes for a winning touchdown faded. It was Hoernschemeyer who scored for Indiana almost as the first period ended. He went over on a reverse from the one-foot line, and kicked the point, after Pihos set up the touchdown by blocking Lee Tevis punt on the 13. Don Mangold carried the ball to the three on the next play. Tevis set up Miami's touchdown in the second period by intercepting Hoernschemeyer's pass on his own 45 and racing to the 18.

Paul Shoults of Washington, Ohio, scored after Bob Russell's pass to Jim Dougherty of Bellevue, put the ball on the three and Tevis carried to the one-foot line.

The Redbirds, with their second victory, went 19 games in front of the idle Cincinnati Reds who have only 18 game left to play. The second-place Brooklyn Dodgers were eliminated from mathe. matical chances to contest for the flag by the Cardinals' 2 to 1 victory Friday night. One Less Game. The Dodgers, weathered into a cancellation this week, have one less game left than the Reds.

Lefty Max Lanier, who got credit for one of the Redbirds four victories in the 1942 world series, scored his thirteenth triumph of the campaign, beating Ed Hanyzewski in a fine pitching duel in the opener. The deciding run was scored In the last half of the ninth inning, when, with the bases loaded and one out, Lou Klein hit a ground ball to the infield and Kay Sanders scored as the Cubs unsuccessfully attempted to turn Klein's roller Into a dou-bleplay. The Cubs scored their only run In the first inning after Eddie Stanky singled and went to second on Bill Nicholson's infield hit. A. rookie, Ed Sauer, then singled Eharply to center for the tally.

The Redbird3 tied the game in the fifth. Debs Gams lashed a single off Len Merullo's glove and advanced to second as another Cub rookie, Elko, threw wildly to second on a force play when Marion grounded to him at third. Lou Klein singled past Elko to send Garms across the plate. The Redbirds took over the lead en June 5, constructing a three-game margin by mid-month, but their advantage faded until, on June 30, Brooklyn took top place by winning a pair from Cincinnati while the Cardinals were splitting a doubleheader with the New York Giants.

The Navy's Iowa Pre-Flight Sea-hawks, with new coaches and an entirely different personnel with one exception, opened their 1913 football season here Saturday with a 32 to 18 triumph over the University of Illinois. It was an easy victory for the Navy, although they were forced to come from behind after the Illini had manufactured the first touchdown just three and one half minutes after the opening whistle.

The Seahawks quickly knotted the count, then, forged ahead liofore the first quarter was over, added 13 points in the second period and were In front. 26 to 6, at half time. The Illini scored lone touchdowns in each of the last two quarters while the victors were getting one in the third period. During most of the last half Don Kaurot, the Pre Flight head coach, used numerous reserves in two quarters of experimentation and frustration. The Seahawks, while showing lack of experience and polish, also displayed great possibilities a their 336 yards attained from rushing tha ball Indicates.

Old Hands Needed. But it was only when some of the experienced players like Frank Maznickl, Perry Schwartz, Dick Todd, Vince Banonis, Art Gueppe and Nick Kerasiotis were in the lineup that they were at their best. Faurot's formation, without a man in action, clicked perfectly many times to pile up 14 first downs and a total of 440 yards, 74 of which came from three completed forward passes in 10 attempts. Bus Mertes, former University of Iowa star who started at fullback, was one of the victorious team's key performers. Bud Flanders, a Des Moines boy, also from the university of Iowa who played no football for the Hawkeyes, although he was one at the latter's best baseball players also played part of the contest and showed so much promisa that he may be a star later.
