Missouri's deception behind the line is here illustrated. MAURICE (RED) WADE (No. 11), on his way to the Tigers first touchdown, is through the line of scrimmage before Oklahoma players can touch him. Only one potential tackier faces him and that man is being blocked out by Missouri's Left End ED HODGES (41). Wade had received-a lateral pass from HAROLD ADAMS (downed by Oklahoma's No.

63 at right), cut inside his right end and dashed goalward. Other Missouri Players: DAROLD JE NKINS (42), BERT EKERN (12), NORV WALLACH (48). mtnr nnnir Mnorc hut Football Scores Horse That Paid Wasoped "BOWL" POSSIBILITIES noon's work of bewildering the Sooners. Bert Ekern caught a 29-yard pass from Bob Steuber for the other Missouri touchdown and Steuber converted four points after touchdowns with place kicks as the Tigers virtually clinched the Big Six Conference championship and made a pretty curtsy toward those with bowl bid intentions. Brilliant Work by Line.

Only the Kansas Jayhawkers now stand in the way of the Tigers in their drive for the conference title and the Tigers aren't worrying about that While Wade made It almost a one-man show as his red head flashed over the turf of Memorial Stadium, the other members of the Tigers' terrible touchdown trio played their usual pari in the Missouri victory, and the work of the Tiger forward wall was brilliant The line ripped wagon-gate holes in the Sooner defense to open paths for the fleet-footed Tiger ball carriers and on the only two serious Oklahoma threats, the Missouri line held like a stone wall. There was one close call early in the fourth period as a desperate Oklahoma team started a vicious offensive that carried it from the Missouri 40-yard line to within inches of a touchdown. But the Tiger defenders saw to it that when inches meant a touchdown, the Sooners were stopped in their tracks and when the fourth-down scramble untangled, the ball was still two feet from pay dirt Sooners' Only Edge In Punting. It was the line and the superior speed of the Tigers, personified by Wade. Steuber Ice most 9 Owner Suspended First downs 15 Net yards rashlng 303 Yards lost ig Net yards forwards 68 UIIIL UHiriC.

fcd Gold managed to beat the out- Two teams that have lost but one game each, Missouri and Alabama, marched on toward conference championships. Missouri virtually clinched the Big Six title by routing Oklahoma, 28-0, while Alabama moved on toward the Southeastern crown with a 20-0 conquest of Georgia Tech. Missouri's only defeat was her first of the season, against Ohio State, and Alabama's reverse was in her second game, against Mississippi State. Held to a shocking tie by Baylor a week ago, Texas once more failed to find the winning combination and bowed to Texas Christian, 14-7, on a fourth period touchdown pass. This sensational surprise left the door wide open for the Texas Aggies to snare the Southwest Conference title once more.

The Aggies safely hurdled Rice, 19-6, for their eighth successive triumph and now have only one conference game on the slate a Nov. 27 meeting with Texas. In the Far West, Washington State's giant killers engineered a major upset by nosing out Stanford, 14-13. This form reversal threw Pasadena's Rose Bowl plans into confusion for Stanford, although beaten once previously, had looked to be certain of a Rose Bowl berth for the second year in succession. Oregon State nosed out California, 6-0, and Montana won from Idaho, 16-0, in other Pacific Coast Conference games.

Minnesota, the nation's No. 1 team a year ago and ranked in that spot in the latest Associated Press poll, hung up victory No. 7, a 34-13 triumph over Iowa's Hawkeyes in a hard-fought game that saw Injury-ridden Bruce Smith return to the Gopher backfield. The Gophers will complete their season's schedule next week against Wisconsin. Duke, paced by Steve Lach, battered North Carolina into submission, 20-0, and now has only North Carolina State blocking its path to an unbeaten, untied season and a probable bowl engagement.

Duquesne, another bowl possibility, completed its regular schedule with a convincing 16-0 decision over Mississippi State, previously unbeaten, although tied by Louisiana State. Notre Dame, unbeaten but tied by Army, pulled another close battle out of the fire, whipping Northwestern, 7-6, in a bitter engagement before a sell-out crowd of 48,000 at Evanston. Angelo Bertelli passed to Matt Bolger, sub end, for the Irish touchdown and Steve Juzwik added the extra point, which turned out to be decisive. Northwestern, smashing away at the Irish all afternoon, finally scored a touchdown, with Otto Graham carrying the ball across but the try for extra point was blocked and that was the ball game.

TO make matters still more difficult Doug Mills writes that the football schedule of the Illini is complete through 1945. No arrangements for the "dream game" could apply before then. However, wrinkles are made to be ironed out And 1946 Is not too distant a date, If civic-minded St Loulsans connected with both schools set out to. bring an annual game here, even with the obstacles mentioned. There are thousands of Illinois and Missouri alumni here who could apply a lot of weight The Big Six might find itself embarrassed in one other respect And that concerns Kansas City, which once was host, to the annual Kansas-Missouri game, one of the Missouri Valley and (later) Big Six traditions.

The authorities took that game from its original home, where it had been built up to real importance. In ordei- to take it out of the old environment they passed that campus regulation. And that left Kay See without That Dream Game Encounters Trouble. OUR "Invitation to Illinois and Missouri universities to arrange an annual football game to take place in St Louis brought several favorable responses from alumni and also replies from Coach Don Faurot of Missouri, Coach Bob Zuppke and Doug Mills, Acting Director of Athletics at Illinois. It also brought out the fact a large snag will have to be removed If the "dream game" for this city it's that is ever to be realized There is a conference rule in both the Big Six and the Big Ten which requires that all regular season games be played on the campuses of the conference teams.

This point was brought out in Faurot's letter addressed to the editor of this column, which reads as follows: "I thought your article entitled Invitation was a good one. I might say in our defense that our games in New York haven't been very attractive financially. Since we have scheduled games like Ohio State, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan State, we have had trouble getting a home schedule and therefore have had to play a St Louis team in Columbia. -We don't mean to belittle Washington and St Louis University, as we know they are good teams and always give us a tough fight We would like very much to play Illinois, either In Urban, I Per of the Irish, swept -fc on after beinS bottled up attempts during the I Pm two periods. fired an 18-yard toss to 1 ho swept on to North-JKiT mark before he fiizffr0Wn out of bounds.

Wildcats a first down at midfield.

Chambers reeled off two and Ed Hirsch galloped for 13 yards to Notre Dame's 35-yard line. The Irish were penalized again for offside and Graham, starting to run, swept to the side of the field and fired a pass to Hirsch on the run. Hirsch reached Notre Dame's 14-yard line before he was brought down. Graham on two lunges went to the four-yard line and then drove over right tackle to score. As Erdlitz's right toe crashed against the ball in his attempt to convert, Ziemba hurled his body against it and it bounced along the ground, with Notre Dame players scrambling to recover.

Bill De Correvont, once the nation's most highly publicized prep star, played the most brilliant game of his Northwestern career, punting and passing beautifully, weaving off thrilling runs and playing remarkably on defense. He carried the ball 10 times for a net gain of 64 yards. a Kovatch and Bob Dove, Notre Dame's swift-charging ends, plus the alertness of Center Ziemba, broke up a majority of North-western's running plays, frequently spilling Wildcat ball carriers for losses.
