Now look below Penn Slate Beats Rutgers In Final Period, 18-14 IIS fV 5 By CARL HUGHES Pitt's largest home crowd of the season 28,679 fans picked the wrong afternoon to watch the Panthers yesterday at the Stadium. The injury and service-riddled Jungle Cats were submerged 19-0, by a mighty Michigan State eleven whose line rivaled its backfield in ground gaining. The Spartan forwards used as their best weapon Pitt's up-to-now effective passing attack. Quarterback Bob Bestwick was rocked for losses by the hard-rushing Spartans almost every time he faded to toss.

Panthers Charged for Losses That accounted for the Pan thers winding up with 11-yard deficit for both passing and rush ing. They lost 118 yards on the ground, and gained only 55. The visitors, on the other hand, accounted for 232 of their total 333 yards via running plays. Only on one occasion did Pitt get near enough to the enemy end zone that they didn't need binoculars to see it. That was late in the first half when Best- wick's flings to Nick Derosa moved the Panthers to the Michi gan State 22.

Pitt lost 22 yards on the next four plays, though, as the Spartans quickly squelched the threat. Dorow's Passes Count State, although most effective on the ground, resorted to the air for two of its touchdowns. Quarterback Al Dorow was on the throwing end of both. He nipped a 23-3'arder to end Henry Minarik and a 26-yarder to Bob Carey. Fullback Dick Panin ac counted for the other touchdown on a 12-yard romp.

Two fumbles nipped Michigan State drives in the first quarter, one of which got to the Pitt 14 the first time the Spartans had the ball. Fumble Leads to Score The breaks soon began to even up, though, and State con verted a Pitt bobble into a touchdown drive. A bad pass from center to Punter Chris Warriner, who couldn't get his kick away, gave the Spartans possession on the Panther 37. Three plays got them to the 23 and on the first play of the second quarter Dorow's heave to Minarik broke the scoring ice. The Spartans tallied again the next time they got the ball.

Halfback Vince Pizano of New Kensington started them rolling with a 4 4 -yard romp on a double reverse, getting to the Pitt 23. ranin Drives. Over Three plays later Panin wriggled through the Panther line for 12 yards and the score. Carey's conversion gave the Spartans a 13-0 halftime lead. A Pizano fumble halted the visitors initial march of the second half on the Pitt 19, but they quickly regained the pigskin.

Halfback Jesse Thomas intercepted a Bob Osterhout pass on the Panther 23 moments later. On fourth down Dorow's fling to Carey in the end zone notched the final points of the afternoon. Carey ensuing kick was wide. Michigan State lost possession on downs on the Pitt four and the 10 on later scoring threats when the Panthers' line stiffened. Grandelius Stopped Despite his 73 yards rushing.

Halfback Sonny Grandelius' of the Spatrans had his worst afternoon of the season. It was the first in which he was held scoreless. The Spartans, upset only by Maryland, boosted their record to 8-1. The Panthers will carry a sad 1-7 record into next Saturday's Penn State finale here. -'ytii il 11 I )( ii in ni iiiiiwiii iim i.

Panin's teammate. Bill Cary, recovered for Passes Intercepted 11.. Punts 5 3S Average Yardage .......39.6 Bails Lost Fumbles 4 Yards Penalized 24 CHAMPAIGN, Nov. 18 (UP) An alert, hardhitting Illinois team intercepted three passes and recovered lour enemy fumbles to upset mighty Ohio State, 14-7, before 71,119 fans in Memorial Stadium today. A return trip to the Rose Bowl now is in view for the Illini.

Though a substitute halfback, Don Stevens, scored both Illinois touchdowns on passes from Quarterback Fred Major, the victory was due as much to the brilliant defensive play of the Illinois line and secondary. The Buckeye backfield aces, Vic. Janowicz, Walt Klevay and Tony Curcillo, rarely had time to run or pass. Their fumbles came when they were hit so hard they could hardly hold their breath, let alone the ball, and the pass interceptions were due chiefly to the smashing of the Illinois forwards. Bucks Hold on One The trend of the game was established early, although all of the points came in the second period.

In the opening six minutes. Al Brosky intercepted Janowicz' first pass and Joe Hall recovered a punt fumbled by Ohio State's Fred Bruney. The Hall recovery came on Ohio's 21, and though the Illini advanced from there to the one, they couldn't score. That punch was reserved for later and it came quickly. A punt exchange in the second period gave Illinois possession on its 43.

Stevens made five yards, then hauled in Major's pass and scampered 40 yards to complete a 52-yard scoring play. Illini Get Break Janowicz fumbled a few minutes later, and Hall recovered for Illinois on the Ohio State 47. Johnny Karras, the Illinois backfield star who had missed the last two games because of an injury, made 20 yards in two plays. Stevens picked up nine, and then the Illini got their big gest break. Major passed to End Tony Klimek, who fumbled when tackled.

But Stevens qrabbed the ball before it lonrhcd the ground and was pus'trd out of bounds five yards from a score. Then hit Stevens for the touchdown. Ohio State rebounded to drive S3 yards for a touchdown in 10 plays. Janowicz hit Tom Watson for" 25 yards, then Curcillo passed to Watson for 15 and 21. Janowicz, on three ground plays, went the remaining 16 yards.

Klevay Fumbles Buckeyes later marched from their 20 to the Illinois 13 before Klevay fumbled after catching a pass. Elia Popa pounced on the ball for Illinois on the 10. It was Illinois' fourth victory In five Conference games. The decision meant that a win in the season final over Northwestern next week would give the Illinois the Rose Bowl bid again. The 1946 championship Illinois team defeated UCLA in the first Inter-conference Rose Bowl match.

Ohio State's loss was its first In six league games. The Buckeyes must defeat Michigan next week for a clear title. A loss to the Wolverines would give Wisconsin a chance to tie by defeating Minnesota. ILLINOIS Ends Klimek. Vernasco.

While 60.000 rain-drenched fans huddled through one of the season's worst downpours, Blaik put Stanford in the hole by kick ing out of bounds on the Indians' four in the third period. Then, when the day seemed darkest for the Cadets, he rifled a pass 32 yards into the waiting arms of Dan Foldberg. Al Pollard converted.

Outside of a muffled chance in the first minute of play, when Army recovered a fumble on Stanford's 11, that was the only serious scoring threat. Until the third quarter, Stanford outplayed the Cadets, getting a standout performance from a fast-charging line. The Indians bottled up every Army threat. The game was the 28th In a row for the Cadets, without a defeat. Three times Stanford drove to the Army 30-yard line, but each time the attack stalled and Coach Marchie Schwartz sent in Bill McColl to trv a field goal.

But the waterlogged ball was a bit short each time. STANFORD Ends Scott. Eadie. Rye. Pinto, McCall, W.

Oklahoma Wins 29th Straight NORMAN, Nov. 18 (UP) Oklahoma breezed past Missouri today for a 41-7 victory and its 29th straight triumph. The run-away win gave the Sooners at least a tie for the Big Seven championship which they have held alone the last two seasons.

The Nebraska Huskers have a chance to share the title but first they must beat Oklahoma next week. The only dissappointment for this Dad's Day crowd of 47,000 was the failure of Sooner Quar terback Claude Arnold to equal the record of 88 passes without an interception, held by Pennsyl vania's Francis Bagnell. Arnold's second pass of the game the 86th in his string was snagged in the end zone by Missouri Half back Harold Carter. Oklahoma Missouri .13 14 II 7 7 Argentina Boxer In U. S.

The game was close until the Lions turned foolish. The victory was only the! second of the season for Navy. Powerful Army remains before the Middies end their campaign.

Navy hacked steadily through the swiss-cheese Columbia line and passed at will, but Columbia goal-line stands held the score down to a respectable 16-7 until the final seconds. Then the Columbia quarter back, Mitch Price, threw a pass from his own six and Navy Center Ted Kukowski intercepted and ran for a touchdown. After the kickoff Price tried another pass from his 20 on the last play of the game. End John Gurski intercepted that one and ran for a touchdown. Valparaiso Wins In Lutheran Bowl FORT WAYNE, Nov.

Mon-ahan broke off tackle for 11 yards and the touchdown, and Jack Dcnardo added the extra point. Dougherty Scores In the second peirod, Penn State went 54 yards in six plays for a touchdown, which Captain Owm Dougherty scored on a 24-yard pass from Vince O'Bara. There were groans from the crowd of 15,000 when O'Bara's placement try went wide Rutgers replied to that setback by rolling 68 yards in seven plays for another score. Mona-han passed 17 yards to Bob Di Amato for the touchdown. The Scarlet was penalized 15 yards for holding on its successful extra-point try, but Bill Pel-lington converted the second attempt from 18 yards out to eive Harvey Harrrian's eleven a 14-6 advantage.

Lions Rebound With Monahan and Di Amato running well and Wally LaParie passing capably, the eight-point spread looked safe indeed. But the Lions, responding to a half time lashing by Coach Rip Engle slashed their way to touchdowns in each of the last two periods. The first came on a 78-yaid drive in which O'Bara connected on four passes good for a total of 61 yards. The actual touch down was a one-yard sneak by Halfback Bob Pollard. Again O'Bara failed to kick the point.

Shortly thereafter, Monahan suffered a broken collar bone and the Rutgers defense lost much of its fire.

It was California's ninth straight triumph of the year and 33rd regular season victory in a row. It was the running of the 185-pound sophomore fullback, plus a USF fumble that California Guard Ray Solari converted into a touchdown after a 35-yard dash, that spelled victory for the men of Lynn, O.
