Knox Beats Cornell, 19-12; Friars Win Siwash Plays Alert Ball In Loop Win Knox won Its first Midwest Conference game of the season and climbed out of the Conference basement Saturday as the Siwashers beat Cornell 19 -12 at Mount Vernon, Iowa. The loss dropped the Rams into last place. In a highly-contested game, Knox took a first quarter lead and staved off a late fourth quarter drive by the Rams to win. A Cornell fumble set up the first Knox score. Paul Stalker, who was outstanding for the Siwashers on both offense and defense all afternoon, pounced on the bobble on the Cornell 3.

John Clark went off tackle for the six-pointer shortly after. Quarterback Frank Casey missed his first try at a conversion, but Cornell was offside and he split the uprights on the second attempt. Knox scored again later in the first quarter when Casey fired a pass to Stalker for 35 yards and a touchdown. Casey missed the extra point. Cornell fought back with a 15-yard touchdown sprint by halfback Gordon Hansel.

Benham missed the try for point, however, and the quarter ended with the Siwashers still out in front 13-6. Casey's conversion looked very important when the Rams scored again in the second quarter. Fullback Jim Galloway crossed the double stripe from the 8, but Benham again missed the conversion to give Knox a 13-12 lead at the half. Neither team could score in thp third quarter. In the final fourth, halfback Logan Wharton intercepted a Cornell aerial at the midfield stripe and galloped fifty yards down the right sidelines for what proved to be the clinching touchdown.

Casey missed the conversion. In the late minutes of the game, Cornell drove deep into Knox territory, but the Siwash defense held on the 1-yard line, and the game ended with Knox on top, 19-12. Paul Stalker was. the Knox big gun, but Pete Hosutt, Bill Lynch, Bob Albrecht, Frank Casey and Logan Wharton were also outstanding. Cornell had 14 first downs to Knox's 9, and completed 7 of 10 passes, while the Siwashers completed only 3 of 6.

Two Ram passes went astray however, intercepted by Logan Wharton and Bill Hall for Knox. The Siwashers suffered three injuries which may hurt the team in future contests if all three men are kept out of the lineup. Bob Burden, Fremont Binder and Frank Stanicek all incurred injuries. Knox is idle next week but plays host to Monmouth the following week in the annual renewal of the oldest rivalry west of the Alleghenies.

White Sox Buy- Bill Serena CHICAGO (UP) The Chicago White Sox said today they bought veteran infielder Bill Serena from their cross town rivals, the Cubs, to shore up the third base spot. The Sox paid the Chicago National League squad an estimated $30,000 Sunday for Serena, who played second fiddle this year to Ransom Jackson, a rising star at third. Frank Lane, Sox general manager, said at Pittsburgh that he bought Serena for "third base insurance." George Kell had a bad knee this year and Cass Michaels is still bothered by a skull fracture he suffered when he was beaned late in the season. Serena, who joined the Cubs in the fall of 1949, had a .159 average this year but drove in 13 runs in 63 times at bat. His best years were in 1950 when he finished with a .239, 61 runs batted in and 17 homers and 1950 when he chalked up RBI's and 15 homers with a .274 average.

The Big Payoff CLEVELAND UFV-The New York Giants, winner of the World Series in four straight games, and the losing Cleveland Indians both will receive record payoffs according to a reliable baseball source. The official split of the players pool totaling $598,763.72 is expected to be announced within a few days by Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick but the source said the Giants have split their part into shares and the Indians into 38Ms. On that basis, a full 6hare in the winners' pool would amount to $10,810 and to $6,457 for the losers. Up to now the biggest winning share was $8,230.63 which went to the New York Yankees last year and the largest losing share was $6,178.42 collected last year by the Brooklyn Dodgers. DALE R.

SWARD Never Plugged Nozzels With Shell FOA-5X Additive Fuel Oil PHONE 1568-8 for your futl oil Summer Fill-Up mini Now Prepare for Ohio State CHICAGO Iowa and Ohio State, presently ranked with Wisconsin and Purdue as favorites in the Big Ten, head a list of eight teams which tangle in conference games Saturday. The Hawkeyes, with one conference victory under their belts and a 48-6 conquest of Montana, will be out to avenge last year's 14-13 last minute loss to Michigan. It might not be much of a task.

Illinois stung with two non- conference losses, opens defense of its co-championship against powerful Ohio State. The Buckeyes are riding high with victories over Indiana and California.

Picked as a dark horse earlier this year, Ohio State has been stamped a definite contender since Illinois and Michigan State, Rose Bowl champ, don't seem to have it. In the other conference game, Minnesota takes on Northwestern. The Gophers slipped by Nebraska and then battered a favored Pitt team, 46-7. Coach Murray Warmath's split- seems to be the thing for the McNamara brothers Bob and Geno Cappelletti, a versatile back who is taking over where Paul Giel left off. Northwestern fumbled away its chances against Southern Cal Saturday and was beaten 127-7 after an opening day victory over Iowa State.

Two of the better games of the day will be non-conference affairs. Undefeated Duke will be at Purdue and Wisconsin is host to Rice in a nationally televised affair. The Blue Devils should make a good measuring stick as to whether Purdue's 27 14 victory over Notre Dame was a fluke. But if Duke wants to win it'll have to shackle quarterback Len Dawson. The 19-year-old sophomore has pitched eight touchdown passes in Purdue's two victories.

In fact, only one of Purdue's nine touchdowns this season has not resulted from a Dawson pass. Wisconsin's battering brigade, led by Alan Ameche who bulled his way for a 28-yard touchdown and 6 0 victory over Michigan State, meets a Southwest power in Rice. The Owls swept by Cornell Saturday, 41-20. Notre Dame will try to bounce back against Pitt. The Irish will be fighting mad arid it might turn out to be another bad afternoon for the Panthers who have been trounced by both Southern Cal and Minnesota.

Marquette, still looking for its first victory, is host to Cincinnati Saturday night. The Warriors were upset by Miami of Ohio, 27 26. Cincinnati walloped Tulsa, 40-7. Locals Defeat R.M.A., 25-19, In Air Battle Combining a running and passing attack that proved a bit better than Roosevelt Military Academy's deadly aerial game, the Corpus Chrisli Friars tripped up the Rough Riders, -25 to 19, at Lombard Field Saturday night, Dave Thlelbcrt crashed over from the 11-yard line on a quarterback sneak, late in (he final period, to provide the winning margin In a game that saw the Cadets come from behind twice to tie the score. It was the initial victory for Coach Bob Drolet's charges, who lost their first two contests, and appropriately enough came in their 1954 home debut.

Thlelbcrt Stars Thiclbert proved to be the Friars' most effective weapon last night, both on the ground and in the air, but he received top-notch support from his Dan Foley and Halfbacks Frank Seibert and Jim Ellison, to mention just a few. The C. C. quarterback threw one touchdown pass, scored two himself and flipped for a point after touchdown. He enjoyed repeated success with the quarterback sneak.

A three-yard smash into the end zone by Frank Seibert gave the Friars their first score late in the opening period. This climaxed a 37-yard drive which was highlighted by an 11-yard aerial from Thielbert to Foley. Airways Jammed The Friars struck again, midway in the second period, when Thielbert hit Foley for a 34-yard aerial and the score. The same passing combination clicked for the extra point. With about three minutes" remaining in the first half the Friars leading 13 to Ho went to work for the Cadets as he pitched a 38-yard pass to Lee Gittings for a touchdown.

The conversion attempt was no good. The Friars drew a 15-yard penalty after the kickoff and a bad punt from the one-yard line put the Cadets in scoring territory again. Ho returned to the air and finally heaved to Chuck Huey in the end zone for another score. This play covered 13 yards. Bob McDonough then tied the score at 13-all as he kicked the extra point.

Friars March Receiving the kickoff to start the second half, the Friars began from their own 30 and drove 70 yards to take a 19 to 13 lead. Thiclbert crashed over from the one for this score, but the try for extra point failed. Ho's strong right arm again put the Cadets back in the game. He connected with Huey for a 65-yard scoring play to once more tie the game. The conversion attempt failed.

Then the Friars came through with" the final and winning TD as Thielbert scored. A 15-yard smash through the line by Frank Seibert was a key play in this goal line march. R. M. A.
