For three of the four periods, they held the highly-touted Southern Methodist Mustangs scoreless, but, in the second quarter, the Tex-ans scored two touchdowns one deserved and the other very flukish and win over the Bears by a scor of 14 to 0. The attendance was about 7500. The Bears played without their coach. Jimmy Conzelman whosa nd pitched two bad games in succession and that he never would. And the southpaw, knocked out of the first game of this struggle for the National game's highest honors, lived up to his reputation.

Some 15.000 fans sweltering in heat of mid-summer intensity, saw the re-built Stanford 'eleven crash over touchdowns in the first and second periods, stave off Bruin rallies time and again by pass interception, and finally yield a score in the final quarter of a loosely-played game.

The Cincinnati Reds tonight announced the appointment of Bill McKechnie, pilot of the Boston Bees since 1929, as manager of the club for a two-year term.

McKechnie, whose contract with Boston expired Oct. 3, takes the place vacated three weeks ago by Chuck Dressen, who was replaced hard fight every minute and there was every indication that, with the game under their belts, the Bears would be pretty tough from now on. Football Scores prising nature about the outcome of the battle before a crowd of 45,000. On form, the highly-rated invaders from South Bend, were favored to win, and the result was a personal triumph for the 56-year-old Robert Zuppke, celebrating his twenty-fifth anniversary as coach at Illinois. No finer tribute could be offered Zuppke than the performance of his untried sophomores, who not only fought back the "Fighting Irish," but actually took the play away from them on offense, although the statistics disagreed.

Each Threaten to Score. Each team made one serious threat to score in the first half and Illinois made another halfhearted one in the final quarter. In the first period Illinois marched 46 yards to Notre Dame's 14, where the Irish held, and Melvin Brewer was called into the game to attempt to place kick from the 21-yard line. The boot was short and low and dropped harmlessly in front of the goal posts. In the second period, Notre Dame drove 38 yards to Illinois' 12, where Every man on the Washlneon team played a great defensive game Hapes opened the scoring for "Ole Miss" with a 78-yard run for a touchdown after taking a Billi-ken punt early in the first quarter and galloped 22 yards off tackle for the second score in the second period.

A fumble led to the third Rebel score when, late in the third period, Bob Shea, Billiken quarterback, dropped a punt and Bill 'Williams, Mississippi tackle, recovered on the St. Louis U. 12-yard line. Lenhart Goes Over. The quarter ended before the Rebels could score but Johnny Lenhardt, "Ole Miss" fullback cracked through guard and tackle on the fifth play of the fourth period for the day's last touchdown.

Bruiser Kinard, Mississippi tackle, who received mention for an All-American berth by three selectors last season, kicked perfect placements for the extra point after each of his team's touchdowns. Denny Cochran, sophomore halfback from E. St. Louis and Beno Best, co-captain, tackle, were the two Billikens who seemed to stand in no awe of the confident Southerners.

In the fourth period, Brewer attempted unsuccessfully another goal from the field for Illinois, this time from the 44-yard stripe. The ball landed in Capt. Andy Puplis' arms on the 10-yard line. With 60 seconds to go, the Irish opened up with a bewildering forward passing attack. Jack McCarthy fired the ball in all directions, hoping to find a receiver.

Time and again the Irish, frequently substituting teams, started drives, but each time the green Illinois line held. Klemp and Capt. Lowell Spurgeon of Illinois played a brilliant game with Klemp charging in to break up interference or to knock down passes. Spurgeon Stars. Spurgeon played an outstanding game for Illinois.

After spending a week limping around on crutches because of an injured leg, he turned in an amazing performance to lead Illinois in its moral victory. Fullback Howie Carson, however, outgained him, reeling off 20 yards in six attempts, while second-stringer Louis Zontini topped names as soon as it became certain Dressen would not be retained. Among these were Rogers Hornsby, ousted manager of the St. Louis Browns; Jim Bottomley, who succeeded Hornsby at St. Louis this Reason, and Casey Stengel, former Brooklyn pilot, as well as "around 100" lesser known applicants.

Regarded as one of the most astute judges of baseball material in the business, McKechnie never was able to lift Boston above fourth place. At Pittsburgh, from 1922 to 1926, his clubs never finished below third. He went to St. Louis as coach in 1927 and the next year was appointed manager to succeed Bob O'Farrell. After winning the league title in his first season with the Cards, McKechnie figured in the precedent-setting "firing" of a pennant-winning manager.
