It was the 16th consecutive victory for the Golden Gophers and it amply avenged their last defeat, which occurred In this same stadium almost two years ago to the day.

For the first lew minutes it looked like the 42,500 spectators would be witnesses to a major upset. Iowa quickly marched 34 yards for a touchdown after halfback Tommy Farmer set up the opportunity by returning a Minnesota punt 22 yards. Fullback Bill Green went over from the three and Farmer converted. Smith Sparks Gophers But then Bruce Smith, who was Injured two weeks ago and was un able to compete against Nebraska last week, ran out and took over the Minnesota left half spot from little Bud Higeins. Five plays and slightly more than a minute later.

Minnesota had tied the score at 7 to 7. Smith threw two passes to Quarteback Bill naas which put the ball on Iowa's three, and Bill Daley went over, In the second period, with Smith contriouung a si-yard run and a pass that was good for 27 yards. Minnesota swept 95 yards to go aneaa, 13 to 7. Iowa made its last serious threat a few minutes later when a fumbled pass was good for 77 yards and a touchdown. Farmer threw to Buz Mertes who caught the ball on Minnesota's 47 and then let it pop out of his hands.

Quarterback Al Couppee picked it up and ran across the goal. Minnesota went ahead, 20 to 13, before the half ended when Daley went over from the three-yard line. Gophers Power Shows The third period was scoreless, but Minnesota displayed its famed power in the final quarter to run up two more touchdowns. Hlggins scored one from the three-yard line after sparking a 56-yard drive and Garnaas made the other on a 17-yard run. It climaxed a march which saw 206-pound Bob Edgar Jones, the Special Delivery man, practically duplicated his exciting feats of the Fordham game a week ago when he led Pitt to a smashing 14-to-7 victory over Nebraska yesterday at Lincoln, Neb.

Jones broke a 7-7 tie with a 75-yard touchdown run after an interception In the fourth quarter and a moment later dashed 62 yards to the Husker three on the final play of the game. In this photo Jones is shown going up in the air after a five-yard gain. 14-13 Defeat On Stanford Washington State Upsets Indians' Rose Bowl Hopes By JIM SULLIVAN United Press Writer PALO ALTO. Nov. 15 Wash ington State upset Stanford, Pacific Coast champion, 14-13, in a wild and wooly football game today before 55,000 fans in Stanford Stadium.

As a result, the Pacific Coast Conference race and the Rose Bowl bid were thrown into confusion. It was Stanford's second defeat and it dropped the champions, 3 to 1 favorite before this game, into a tie with Oregon State for the Conference lead. Albert Misses Point It was All-America Frankie Albert's failure to convert an extra point that proved the margin of victory today. Aided by a 62-yard punt by Billy Sewell, Washington state moved into scoring position early in the first period and Halfback Bill Holmes went around end for 13 yards and a touchdown. Beck-man's try for point was blocked.

but he picked up the ball and car ried it over for the extra point. Stanford started the second half like the Indians of old, picking up 67 yards on six plays. The pay-off was a long pass by Albert to Pete Kmetovlc, who caught It on the goal line. Albert missed the try for pom: on a low kick. Fourth Time Works Washington State came bouncing oack witn FUiioack Earl Brenneis returning the kickoff 56 yards, Three times the Cougars drove in side Stanford's 10 only to be thrown back.

The fourth time they went on over, arter Albert had lost the ball oh a fumble on his own 22. Three plunges and a pass gave the Washlngtonians a first down on the 11, a five-yard offside penalty helped them to the six, and Full- DacK bod Kennedy smasned over in two terrific plunges. Beckman kicked the extra point. Stanford connected In the last three minutes. Bob Cole engineered the score, passing to Bob Mitchell for a first down 'on Washington states three.

Oregon State Downs California, 6 to 0 BERKELEY, Nov. 15 Oregon State College today kept its Rose Bowl hopes alive by defeating University of California, 6 to 0, before 20,000 persons in California Memorial Stadium. The Beavers rolled on the ground to a touchdown in the third period and were satisfied with that margin. Joe Day, chunky Oregon State fullback, did the heavy work In the Beavers 35-yard touchdown drive.

The score was set up when Bob California's punting tackle, fluffed one weakly out of bounds on his own 35, an 11-yard kick. Day blasted the line to the 23, bucked to a first down on the 11, powered through for nine yards and then picked up the last two yards on a line buck. Warren Simas' attempted conversion was blocked. The Beavers missed several other scoring chances inside the California 30, including one that went to the California one -yard line In the second period.

With only five minutes to the Lions seeminglj' destined to- lose the ball on downs, Smaltz. heavily bolstered with protectors, spun a 28-yard pass across the field to Krouse, who eluded two Mountaineers and fell over the goal. Smaltz made the Lion margin more comfortable with an extra point by placement. Mountaineers Troublesome Despite the victory, Penn State, riding high after its 34-19 rout of Syracuse, found the Moun taineers line strong and aggresisve and its backs, mainly Dick McEl-wee and Ike Martin, slippery and hard to tackle. Not until Smaltz kick with about a minute to play in the fourth period had cornered West Virginia on the nine -yard line were Lion rooters able to breathe freely.

Penn State backers groaned hardest In the third period when McElwee cracked the line, slipped into the secondary and galloped down the side line well protected and apparently on his way -to a touchdown. The gallop was nipped after 78 yards when Smaltz dumped the speedy Mountaineer from behind on the 10-yard line. A West Virginia score seemed Inevitable, but Smaltz took almost a personal hand to thwart the drive. Kuimo, WestfoJJ Star Wolves Beat Lions, 28-0 By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 15 Michigan exploded Tom Kuzma, heralded sophomore, and Bob Westfall, spinning senior fullback and captain, on a startled Columbia eleven today and carried off a 28-0 inter-sectional victory before a crowd of 35,000 that jammed Baker Field to capacity.

Coach Fritz Crlsler of Michigan was kind to Columbia. He did everything he could to keep the score down, withdrawing Kuzma and Westfall early in the third period and playing second, third andVeven fourth-stringers most of the last half. Kuzma scored only one touchdown, but he made the Columbia line look like shredded tissue paper. In 15 attempts, he gained 169 yards while Westfall, who made three touchdowns, picked up 88 yards in 15 tries. Columbia crossed mid-field only twice.

Michigan's first march covered 38 yards in four plays with Kuzma smashing over from the Lions' 7. Kuzma later reeled off a 66-yard run to Columbia's 7 and Westfall went ever in two smashes. The Wolverines covered 90 yards in 14 plays for their third touchdown, with Westfall bursting across from the Lions' 3. The last Michigan touchdown was scored by West-fall on a 22-yard run, climaxing a 51-yard drive. Each time Bill Mel-zow, substitute guard, converted.

Columbia, practically helpless on the ground, completed 18 of 34 passes for 119 yards. Lineups Pos. COLTTMBIA 0 L.E Kelleher L.T.. c) L.G DeMartini MICHIGAN 2 Fraumann Wisiert Inralis Kelto Sharp Ceithmal Kuzma White (eJ Kubertl R.G MacMitchell R.T.. R.E.

Penn State was not consistently effective on ground plays but the hard running of Krouse and Bill Debler Penn State baseball captain, provided what offensive spark the Lions had. Threaten In Late Stages The Mountaineers were a real threat in the last period when they drove to the six-yard line once and again to the 8, but were held by the alert line play of Jaflurs and Potsklan.

Failure to complete passes hurt West Virginia in the pinches. The Lions moved to the 14-yard line in the first period and the Mountaineers held for The Penn State opportunity in the second was set up when Mc- Elwee's quick-klcW was blocked by Potsklan on the 32 and Van Lenten recovered for the Lions. The victors ran up 10 first downs to eight for West Virginia. The M6untaineers, however, made a net gain of 194 yards by rushing to 174 for State. The Lions gathered 50 yards with the Smaltz-to-Krouse passing combination and limited West Virginia to a pair of comple tlons for five yards in 13 attempts.

Once again, Jones got out of a tight spot, kicking dead to the Nebraska 15. Bradley got the Initial first down of the afternoon on an 11-yard gal lop around left end, and then quick-kicked to Jones who returned to the Panther 32.

Huskers Take Over On the return kick by Jones, the Huskers took over on their own 33 and wouldn't give up possession, even as the quarter ended a few minutes later, until they had car ried 68 yards to the first touch down. Wayne Sindt. one of three sonho more threats Coach Biff Jones used to worry the Panthers throughout the afternoon, provided the Initial spark by scooting 25 yards on a shuffle pass play only a diving shoe-string tackle by defender Con nell preventing him from going all the way. After the teams changed goals in the next quarter, Metheny, sopho more quarterback, worked a daring quarterback sneak on fourth down to make a first down on the 32. From there on in, it was easy with Bradley carrying most of the load and finally sweeping around Pitt's right end for the touchdown from four yards out.

Vic Schleich tacked on the extra point by placement, and the Huskers' hopes of ending a four-game losing streak were bright indeed. The Husk ers had another scoring chance In tne same quarter wnen Jones was hit hard by Clarence Herndon, a vicious tackier, and fumbled with Sophomore Halfback Roy Long re covering on the Pitt 37. But Booming Bill Benghouser came through to toss Metheny for a nine-yard loss on an attempted pass and Bradley eventually was forced to kick, with Jones returning seven yards to the 22. After an exchange of kicks, Pitt made its first offensive bid of the game, with Bill Dutton passing to Jones for 19 yards and the initial Panther first down on the Nebraska 39. Dutton and Saksa drove to a first down on the 26, but Bradley intercepted Dutton's pass on the nine and ran to the 14 to kill off Pitt's bid for a score as the half ended.

In the third period, Pitt made a mild offensive gesture after Nebraska had kicked off out of bounds. Starting on the 35, Dutton and Jones made it a first down in two plays to the 45. Jones lost six in attempting to pass, but a 15-yard clipping penalty carried the Panth ers to Nebraska 42. Dutton found a hole at right guard for a first down on the 26. But two end zone passes were knocked down as the Huskers took over on their own 20.

Puts on Longest March Then it was Nebraska's turn to put on a march, and this one, al though it failed to produce a touchdown, was the longest sustained drive of the day some 77 yards. Only a great goal line stand by Pitt stopped the Huskers from sewing up the ball game right then and there. On the drive, the Red Shirts un loosed their full bag of tricks from the T-formation, using everything from a double -flanker to a guard around play that found George Abel, Big Six champion sprinter and a fine guard, going for a 12- yard gain. The longest gain of that drive was one of 20 yards on a behind-the-line pass, Metheny to Long, that carried to the Pitt 21. Long, on a reverse, then drove 13 yards to the Pitt eight.

I And when Long made five to the Pitt tnree, me Fantners reaiiy naa to dig in to avert a score. Game's Turning Point The good line stand was the turning point of the game. Jones sprinted 17 yards as the quarter ended, and Pitt had fought itself out of a very tight spot. From there on in, the Panthers were in control. An exchange of kicks gave Pitt the ball on the 37 and with Jones carrying the mail with the same drive that spelled defeat for Fordham the previous week, the Panthers stormed for the touchdown in nine plays.

However, it required an alert play by Steve Sinclair, Pitt center, who recovered Jones' fumble after a 23-yard advance to the Husker eight to make the touchdown possible. From there Saksa got a yard, Dutton picked up two, and Jones ripped off four important yards to put the ball within a few feet of the goal. Dutton hit left guard for the touchdown- on fourth down. Fife added the extra point, and there was less than six minutes to play. But all Jones needed was that final minute to produce a storybook finish that will go down as one of the most spectacular chapters in Pitt history, and one of "the big thrills" of the 1941 season.

Nebraska held a slight edge In the statistics, 12 to 9 in first downs and 213 yards net to Pitt's 182, and it was just that close until Mr. Jones took things into his hands in the fading seconds of play as the shadows were lengthening on the rare Indian Summer that produced perfect football weather and an-ail-around perfect afternoon, at least from the Pitt point of view. powerful ground offensive that gave the Blue Devils two of their touch downs. Lach played his usual brilliant defensive game today, stopping one Carolina thrust after another, but his booming punts invariably going out in coffin corner left Carolina in a hole the Tarheels never could get out of. When the Duke run ning attack faltered, it was Lach who could still go.

For Duke, the victory was the eighth of the season and revenge ended, Illinois 7, Ohio 6. But Graf, the Buckeye senior sparkplug, turned on the power in the third quarter and scored the winning touchdown less than five minutes after the kickoff. The triumph kept Ohio State in the Big Ten championship picture with three victories and one loss. Shortly after the first kickoff, a short Ohio punt against a stiff breeae was downed on the Ohio 27. A Dick Good to Paul Milosevich, carried the ball to the 10.

Hard-running Jimmy Smith raced off left taccle to the one-foot mark and Good want over on a quarterback sneak. Wilson's place-kick was good for the extra point. Illinois appeared on the march to a second touchdown when Graf leaped high and intercepted a pass on the Ohio 3 and charged back to the Ohio 28. On the next play Ohio uncorked some magic of its own. Graf took the ball from center and handed it to Dick Fisher who pitched a long aerial to Bob Shaw.

The lanky end was in the clear on the Illinois 44 and raced unhampered the rest of the way. Wisconsin's Late Southwest Football Texas Dream Aggies Spill By The United Press AUSTIN, Nov. 15 Texas University's dream team collapsed today in the final 10 seconds of its game with Texas Christian when a 24-yard forward pass produced a 14 to 7 upset TCU victory and put an end to Texas bowl hopes, national championship aspirations and even a chance for the Southwest Conference title. Going into the last play of the game, tne Christians had a 7-7 tie when Emery Nix threw a long des peration forward pass to Van Hall in the end zone, sounding the swan song for the team which had been fcallyhooed as the greatest ever pro-du8ed in the Southwest. Last week it was Baylor which utilized the final seconds of the Came for a touchdown play which netted a 7 to 7 tie with the vaunted Longhorns.

Texas was driving with the power that had netted it at least five touchdowns a game until last Sat urday when T. C. U. got the ball on an interception by Dean Bagley on his own nine. There were only three minutes left and 91 yards to go.

After a punt exchange. Texas took over on TCU's 28. TCU held for downs again, and Nix lifted TCU out of trouble with a 34-yard run through center to Texas' 50. Nix and Bill Medanich drove to Texas' 24. With barely time for one play, Nix shot the pass and Hall was there, waiting in the end zone.

Buck Missouri Eyes Bows Tigers Down Okies, 28-0 B.y The United Press COLUMBIA, Nov. 15 Mis souri's Tigers conjured up visions of a bowl engagement on New Year's Day after their running attack ex ploded here in the face of Oklahoma, to bury the harried Sooners under a 28-0 landslide. The largest crowd In Missouri's football history, almost 30,000, saw the game which virtually clinched the Big Six title. Missouri upset all pre-game pre dictions and scored two touchdowns in the first period and one each in the third and last periods and fought off Oklahoma's only threat by holding the Sooners for downs on the Missouri two-yard line. Maurice Wade, 170-pound soph omore halfback, scored three touchdowns and ran the ball 19 times for 114 yards, an average of 6 yards per try.

Twice he reversed his field and ran for 23 and 35 yards respectively through the entire Oklahoma team to score standing up. His third touchdown was the result of a one-yard plunge. Missouri's other touchdown was a result oi bod steuoer passing 29 yards to Bert Ekem. Oklahoma's vaunted power was completely missing and only on desperation passes were the Sooners able to gain. In the fourth period Orvilie Mathews passed and ran for four first downs, to Missouri's 4-yard line.

Four plungers there, however, netted only two yards and the Tigers kicked out. Lineups: Pos. MISSOURI 28 OKLAHOMA 0 E. L.T Brenton Eason L.G Jeffries Harris C. Marse RG Fitzgerald Shadid R.T Wallach Teeter R.E Q.B..
