NOSES OUT ILLINOIS NORMAL, 14-13 Down Go the lllini; Tiger Back in a Squeeze 75-YARD PUNT RETURN AND LONG AERIAL PLAY DECIDE THRILLER; STEGER SHINES CHAMPAIGN, 111., Nov. 1 (AP) Michigan's fiery blend of passing and running cut through dogged Illinois, 14-7, today as the undefeated Wolverines gained their sixth football triumph in a charge to the Big Nine title and the accompanying Rose Bowl trip. HAROLD ENTSMINGER, Missouri U. back, is the victim of a squeeze play in the first quarter of the Tigers' game with the Cornhuskers which Missouri won, 47-6. Here Entsminger is pushed over the back of DALE ADAMS (25) by Nebraska quarterback, TOM NOVAK.

Mahoney's Block of Kick Wins KOIIMAL Nov. 1 (AD Flirt halfbacks and llne-socklng fullbacks run all over McCormlck Field here today, but two linemen stole the hero mantles as Washington University defeated Illinois State Normal University, 14 to 13, before a homecoming throng of J000. Big Hank Schoknecht, 240-pound former Kirkwood High tackle, hooted both Bear extra points, and Guard John Mahoney of Wood River, 111., broke through to Mock Dean Burridge's attempt for a tie with three minutes remaining in the game. A highly-keyed Normal team, roused by St. Louis newspaper clippings, and the -slow-starting Bears battled to a i-io-t ue through three periods.

But the game broke wide open in the final quarter. The Bears scored early In the tanza on Charles Winner's 24-yard dash. Schoknecht ktfted the conversion nearly 30 feet higher than the crossbar for what proved to be the winning point. The Cardinal touchdown developed after a Louis Baker-to-Ray Mo rrill aerial advanced Normal's drive to the Bear two. John Dal Santo plunged over.

Burridge. who had converted after the first I. S. N. U.

touchdown, met the ball squarely. But so did Mahoney to preserve the St. Louis team's victory Normal First to Score. For all but the opening minutes the first quarter Washington was the better ball club. State Normal linesmen outcharged the Bear forwards at the outset.

Washington retreated 13 yards In three plays after receiving the kickoff and Hank Chxistmann punted to the Bear 29. Gene Stratman, 148-pound Cardinal scatback, ripped 16 yards, teamed with Dal Santo and Bob Trumpy for a first down on the four and turned right end for the six points. Burridge's kick was g-ood. The Bears got their chance to get even when Guy Wood recovered a Cardinal fumble on the Normal 33 early In the second period. Sending Christmann and Charles Eberle through the middle on delayed bucks, Washington scored in six plays.

Eberle earned the last nine yards in three tries. Schoknecht made the first of his two important points. Washington's line outplayed the Continued on Fage 2, Column 1 The defending champion lllini, forced to pass up one fine cor ing opportunity in the final quarter when Michigan's aggressive line held on the 11 following a recovered fumble, suffered their second' consecutive defeat before a sellout homecoming crowd cf 71.119. The victory, Michigan's twenty-third in lhe 33-game rivalry between the two schools, gave Coach Ftltz Crislcr's team a tremendous shove towards the crown with three conference triumphs. Its remaining foes are Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio State, all comparatively easy.

Illinois was the big hurdle. Chalmers (Bump) Elliott of nearby Bloomington, 111., who passed up the Illinois campus to join his brother, Pete, at Michigan, was the driving force in the Wolverines' two touchdowns in the first half. After Gene Der-rlcote had herded Michigan SS yards only to fumble away the ball on the 14 at the outset of the contest, Elliott helped hla team shake olf the disappointment by strerklng 75 yards for a touchdown on a return of Dwight Ed-dleman's punt. End Bob Mann bulldozed the path with a vicious block as the Bloomington blaster scampered down the sidelines. Steger Buna, 54 Yard Illinois tied the score in the first 90 seconds of the second period.

Fullback Ru.s Steger broke loose for a 54-yard sprint before I'ete Elliott caught him on the J5. Pitching Perry Moss passed five yards to Art Dufel-mcier and finally the lllini reached the one-yard stripe with the aid of a 5-yard offside infraction. From there Steger rolled over the top of the Michigan line to score and Don Maechtle booted the point. Bob Chappuls, who with Derrl-cotte.

Where There Is Smoke I And a Lot of Silence. I a front page story in the latest issue of J. G. Taylor Spink's Sporting News, the Browns are reported about to buy up the contract of Herold D. (Muddy) Ruel.

"Persistent rumors of impending changes in the Browns' high command are climaxed," the story says, "by a strong, though' unconfirmed report that Ruel will not return next season as manager." This is another of a long series of reports about a change in the Brownie picture and where there is so much smoke and so much silence in the Brownie front office there must be some fire! If the thing were merely in the whisper in the washroom stage, you could excuse Dick Muckerman for not making a statement about it. The fact that Muckerman never has shown any resentment against the rumor-dispensers, never issued a statement that could be construed as a vote of confidence in Ruel, must be taken as an indication that he has been sold a bill of goods; that he has been persuaded that the Browns are a good ball club, and would do better under a different field leader. The rumor about Ruel and a new manager isn't the only one involving the- Browns. Frank Snyder recently resigned as manager of the Toledo club, a Brownie farm, and was quoted as saying that it might be better to get a man with a better understanding of the Brownie system of operation. "That's one of the troubles with the Browns," a baseball man commented on Snyder's resignation.

"There is no definition to their minor league system; no set-up of managers who understand what the St, Louis club needs and wants." There are other rumors. One Is that Bob Hannegan has resigned as a member of the board of directors; another that THE LINEUPS MICHIGAN Mann Hilkena Tomasi Pat. L.E. L.T. L.G.

Unbeaten in their last four games, tne Barons moved Into a fourth-place tie with the Flyers at nine points each in the West ern standings. Trailing, 1-0.

at the end of the first period, Cleveland turned on the steam as Pete Leswick and Johnny Holota scored two goals and an assist apiece. For the Flyers, it was the fourth reverse of the season against lour vie tories and a tie. Another game Is scheduled for the Flyers tomorrow night at St. Louis, where they have won four of their five starts at The Arena The Pittsburgh Hornets of Eddie Davidson, last year's Flyer coach. will be the opponents.

Pittsburgh remained tied for the Western Di vision lead by beating Providence tonight, 5-2.

And it is difficult to believe the economy thing, so soon after Muckerman spent $600,000 on improving the ball park, putting in an elevator to the press box and dolling up the plant generally. Ruel Did Good, Dignified Job With Inadequate Squad TO the casual observer, it would seem that Ruel should be praised for an excellent job in his first year of what Muckerman announced original-, ly would be a long-term rebuilding project. But a discussion of the fine job Muddy did probably is beside the point.

Through the years managers, good and bad, have been fired because the front office considered it a good gesture, a stimulant to fan interest. Get a new manager and the customers will think we're in there trying. Never mind about the team. We can't do anything about that. We know we need a first base man and a couple of catchers and some outfielders who can hit, but we can't find those players.

We'll just get a new manager. Apparently Muckerman was only fooling when he indicated the Browns were going to build for the future. But Ruel steadfastly and obviously pursued a building-f or-the-f course. He tested each man thoroughly. He gave Jerry Witte a long and thorough test.

He gave young Les Moss every opportunity. He developed Paul Lehner. He discarded veterans who didn't measure up in the interest of developing young men who in the future would lift the Browns out of the doldrums. Denny Galehouse, Chet Laabs and Mark Christman could have won a few more games for the Browns, had they been regained. But Ruel was building, not sac- Continued on Page 4, Column 1.

compared to the equivalent of 105 years in a person. Riddle, who remained the horse's greatest fan, purchased him as a yearling. He paid the late August Belmont, $5000 for the son of Fair Play-Mahubah. Riddle immediately foresaw the potentialities of his yearling and heaped attention upon him from the outset. Man O' War repaid his owner, winning 20 of his 21 starts and going undefeated as a three-year-old.

His lone defeat was by Upset in the Sanford at Saratoga. Man O' War recovered from a bad start and pulled out of close quarters in the stretch to come within a half-length of winning that one too. When 'Man War raced there was little or no betting. In the Belmont Stakes as a three-year-old the odds closed at 1 to 100. In nine of his 21 starts he carried 130 or more pounds and once carried 138.

Man O' War, Most Famous American Race Horse, Dies LEXINGTON, Nov. 1 (AP) Man War, America's foremost thoroughbred, died of a heart attack today.

Death came to the big red 30-year-old stallion this afternoon in his stall at the Faraway Farm of his owner, Samuel D. Riddle of Lexington and Missouri Finds Nebraska Easy, 47-6; Leads Big Six By Bob Broegr Of the Post-Dispatch Sports Staff. COLUMBIA, -Nov. 1 Reaching the November peak of strength to which Don Faurot traditionally builds teams, Missouri today took sole possession of first place in the Big Six Conference by handing Nebraska the most one-sided defeat in a 41-game football rivalry that began in 1892. Death brought an end to a three fold career.

Starting in 1919 as a two-year-old he won 20 of the 21 races he entered, established five world records and retired after two years to become the leading money winning sire of all time. His third career was to his public who regarded his life as an open book. "Pops," the name the stable boys tagged on him, had been ill since last summer. He was retired to a rocking chair life last May 23 to spend his last days in the quiet of the Faraway Farm paddocks where he had lived for most of his 30 years. Patrick O'Neill, farm manager, said the horse "hadn't been right" for the last month.

He suffered three attacks before his death. O'Neill said Man O' War would be interred Monday in his private paddock at the base of a statue that will be erected. A French sculptor, Herbert Haseltine, was commissioned to do the big horse in bronze and is expected to finish the work by early spring. Man War's life span was In a 47-to-6 rout of the white-rhirted Cornhuskers, who had not been defeated so. decisively even by Indiana, Minnesota and Notre Dame, the Tigers gained their third consecutive conference victory and their fourth straight triumph in a surprising season that has seen them win five of seven starts.

The obstacles ahead wni be large, for next week Ol Mizzou must travel to Duke, and still to be met, too, in climactic Big Six contests are Oklahoma and Kansas, co-champions and co-favorites.
