Martin. 11th Straight For St. Francis Special to The Pittsburgh Press BARNESBORO, Pa Oct. 25 St. Francis College notched its fifth win of the season, running its winning steak to 11-straight, here tonight by punching out a 19-13 decision over rugged Morns-Harvey in a hard- fought game.

The Red Flash eleven had to come from behind with a fourth-quarter rally to protect its unbeaten record. Trailing 7-6 at half time. Big Jim Leonard's charges unreeled a 54-yard lateral play, Johnny McCarthy to Alex, to go ahead, 13-7, early in the final quarter. A long pass. Spec to Zinck, that carried for 45 yards, then put the game on ice for the Franciscans.

And they needed that score. A poor kick by McCarthy set up the first Harvey touchdown in the second quarter, with Ruby going over from the 15 and Smith adding the extra point. A 54-yard lateral play. McCarthy to Alex, tallied for St. Francis later in the same quar ter, but Matlin's try for they, extra point was no good.

1 Fred cricks. By CLAIRE M. BURCKY MILWAUKEE, Oct. 25 Duquesne loosed its pent- up touchdown fury against a highly regarded Marquette University eleven here tonight and buried the favored Golden Ava lanche under a landslide of touchdowns, 31 to 14. to keep pace with the nation's unbeaten and untied collegiate gridiron powers.

Twenty-two thousand fans, a rec ord crowd in Marquette Stadium history, sat in stunned silence as the Red and Blue exploded two first quarter touchdowns, then waited until the second half to add two touchdowns and a field goal to the ever-rising total of points. Marquette's only chances to cheer came in the second and fourth periods when the Avalanche roiled the Dukes back with forward passes that clicked for touchdowns. Little Jimmy Richardson, Mar quette's heralded areial wizard arched both the touchdown shots. to maintain his fancy personal rec ord, but in the end he had been treated to a lesson in touchdown passing by Joe Chadonic, Duquesne aerialist. Chadonic Passes Click Chadonic flung his for distance, one going to George Gonda for a 44-yard gain that set up the Dukes first score, on the one-yard line, from which Gene Ball pushed through on a quaterback sneak.

A moment later, Blawnox Joe whipped another, this time to Joe Rokisky, and the Duquesne end iuggea it; tne remaining iu jaras, the play eating up 35 yards in all. Rokisky added the extra point, as he did for all the others, and came on the scene later to boot the Duquesne field goal. Phil Ahwesh, held out in the first half, pitched a touchdown pass to Joe Squires in the third quarter, and late in the same period Rokisky added his field goal. Ahwesh got the final counter for the Dukes on a 39-yard run out of a pass attempt. Binotto Gains 109 Yards Burly John Binotto piled up an amazing total of 109 yards in six ball-carrying attempts, one of them for approximately 40 yards in the opening minutes, another going for 60 yards early in the second.

Ahwesh, helped by his dazzling touchdown run, piled up 61 yards in seven attempts, and George Gonda produced 76 yards in 17 attempts all of which swelled the Duquesne total to 288 yards gained along the ground. Dukes Early Marquette received the opening kickoff and the Dukes Immediately forced a punt, Renzel's kick going out on the Dukes 44. The Night- riders advanced six on plunges by Chadonic and Gonda and Binotto made it a first down on the Marquette 43. Binotto broke free at tackle and raced deep into Marquette territory going to the four-yard line where he was brought down by Richardson. The Avalanche defended bravely here and took the ball on downs, yielding not a single inch to four Duquesne thrusts.

Richardson kicked out to the Marquette 45. The Dukes were not to be denied, however, having smelled pay dirt. Chadonic arched a long pass to Gonda, who was nailed on the one-yard line after a gain of 35 yards, and ball went over on the first plunge, a quarterback sneak. Rokisky added the extra point. Dukes Score Again Marquette took the kickoff but couldn't gain and had to punt.

Gonda made a return of 15 yards, to the Marquette 35. and on first down Chadonic drew back and passed to Rokiskey, who made the catch on the Marquette 10 and (Continued On Page 13) record was spoiled as an underdog Harvard eleven battled the Middies to a scoreless tie, and Rutgers and Villanova were other casualties the Wildcats losing in a Friday night game to Manhattan.

Sanders. W. and L. By CHESTER I SMITH Press Sports Editor The devils that have bewitched Pitt all fall returned to the Stadium with the Panthers yesterday to put on a pre-Hallowe'en celebration this time they were Blue Devils from Duke, and the score was 27 to 7. It was i a tally that was relished only by a small but ex-uberent knot of North Carolinans who had come north to cheer on their still undefeated and probably-bowl-bound eleven, but mark well the Panthers "7" for it was an epochal event In their young lives, inaamutn as it was meir iirst touchdown Tor this year of grace.

What matters It that the Oak- landers have yet to win a game or that they have now gone through a full month without a semblance of a victory, which sets them apart from all Pitt teams that have gone i before. At last they have dug their cleats into an enemy's end zone. They knew how the other half lives. They have completed a tour of the gridiron from one end to the other. No wonder the 28.000 who were present exxluding again those from south of the Mason-Dixon line made the welkin ring when it happened.

Ross Plunges Over John Ross, a senior fullback from Ellsworth, was the gallant soul who grabbed the brass ring and ploughed across, thus saving himself and his team-mates from drawing a com-' Dlete blank for October. Abettina him was Ralph Fife, from Canton, who stepped up and converted the point with a placement kick as calmly as though he had been doing it every week. Goodness knows, he had been waiting a long time for the opportunity. Of course, there was no great anguish on the Duke side of the field when it happened, for it was the fourth quarter and the Blue Devils had closed their scoring shop for the day and were dancing merrily to the tune of their 27 points. Furthermore, up until that juncture, the Panthers had been unable to pierce beyond the Duke 45-yard line and had been clearly outplayed at almost every turn.

Miss Opportunity They had missed a golden opportunity to score in the last second of the first half, when a prodigious 50-yard pass by Edgar Jones had been picked off by Tom Davis almost out of the hands of Stanley Gervelis, who had raced to the goal line and was waiting for "Special Delivery" to drop the ball in his arms, but otherwise the Panthers were not very deep in the game. True, the Southerners were held fairly well in check through the first two quarters, but they did manage to fashion a six-point lead to carry with them into the inter mission, when Moffatt Storer of Wheeling arched a wobbly 25-yard pass to Steve Lach of Altoona, which the latter pulled down on tne 10 and personally conducted the rest of the distance to complete a tri-state district touchdown. Quarterback Tommy Prothro, whose dad has grown gray managing the Phillies, had his kick for the point blocked by Gervelis, but he more than made amends by producing the next three without a flaw. Duke Gets Going That was the way it was when play resumed, but the Panthers' reprieve was short-lived, for in the third quarter Duke got on its way and before they knew it the local operatives were completely out of the running, with nary a chance to get back. Driving first from their own 45 and a minute afterward making capital of a fumble by Pitt to go into action from the 26, the Devils sent Winston Siegfried, a magnificent plunging fullback, and Davis over for touchdowns that came so fast they took the breath away.

The fourth and final score was (Continued On Next Page) Statistics FITT. DTJKE. Total number of Crt 14 7 first downs, ru.hics 7 1.. First downs, lorward paseinz. .6 downs, 1 357..

Smothered on two ground plays, Ceithaml called for the touchdown pass that whipped Northwestern last week Westfall to Ceithaml to Kuzma with Kuzma passing to Harlin Fraumann, an end. But Fraumann dropped the ball on the one-yard line, and Garnaas intercepted Kuzma's next pass on his own 4. Al Thomas and Westfall rushed the next Minnesota punt 14 yards to their 40 and Kuzma passed 12 yards to Rudy Smeja, but Garnaas stepped in again and picKea on Kuzma's next pass to Fraumann on his own 10 and that was the end of the ball game.

Oct. 25 An alert Northwestern football team converted a fumble into a touchdown in the second half today to break a 10-year jinx and give Ohio State its first defeat of the season, 14-to-7, before a capacity crowd of 71,896. End Robert Motl pounced on the loose ball early in the third period on the Ohio 17-yard stripe and Sophomore Otto Graham shot a pass to Bud Hasse in the end zone for the touchdown that broke a string of 36 straight coaching vic tories for Paul Brown, new Ohio State coach.

The teams battled on even terms in a wide-open offensive display the first half which ended 7 to 7. But the last half was all Northwestern and the Buckeyes never held the ball beyond midfield. Northwestern's elusive backs twice drove inside the Ohio 10 in the fourth quarter only to lose the ball on downs. Graham raced back a punt 34 yards to the Ohio 6 at the final gun. First Quarter Fast Northwestern had lost four games in Ohio Stadium since last winning here, 10 to 0, in 1931.

Rebounding from its first defeat of the season by Michigan last week. Northwestern opened up on the initial kickoff today. Sparked by nifty running and passing by Graham, the Wildcats drove to the one-yard line once and the 13 yard stripe again before the third march cashed in a touchdown. It took four plays from" their own 46. Graham heaved a long pass to Hasse from the Ohio 43.

Hasse snared the ball on the five and scampered over the goal. The aroused Buckeyes came right back with the next kickofl and evened the score In nine plays, going 65 yards. Sophomore Bob Shaw snagged a 30-yard pass from Dick Fisher on the Northwestern 14. Bob Hecklinger, a sophomore starting his first game, rammed the final two yards over guard for the touchdown. Wildcats Vastly Superior The half time gun smothered Ohio's only other scoring threat.

With only a few minutes left. Fisher tossed another aerial to Shaw this time for 39 yards on the Northwestern 8. Ohio was unable to advance the ball in three tries. Bill De Correvont, who left a hospital only yesterday morning recovering from a cold, almost broke away several times for another Northwestern score in the fourth period but couldn't dodge the last Ohio tackier. Poloists Win AMES, Oct.

25 Iowa State's polo team recorded its second straight victory today, over Illinois 3 to 3. Giant Killzrs Navy Tied By Harvard By The United. Press CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 25 Harvard's mighty iron-men turned in their second straight upset today to blast Navy's perfect football record with a 0-0 tie before a howling crowd of 40,000. The Crimson established itself as the giant-killer of the East by tackling with even more viciousness than it 'displayed a week ago in tumbling Dartmouth from the ranks of the unbeaten.

Navy, with four consecutive wins and its goal uncrossed, never seriously threatened against the spirited Crimson defense. In a last-minute effort, Navy rushed in Sub Back Robert Leonard for a field goal try from the Harvard 35, but Verne Miller, heavyweight tackle, smothered the boot and Harvard recovered on its 45. The Crimson proceeded to freeze the ball until the final whistle. So hard did the charging Crimson forward wall hit Navy ball-to ters that the Midshipmen fumbled on seven occasions, with Barnacle Bill Busik the principal offender. He bobbled the ball five times.

Harvard's best chance came in the first period when Peabody smacked Busik down on a punt reception, and lightweight Center Johnny Page recovered the resulting fumble on the Navy 18. Navy clicked off only one sustained drive, a 60-yard march that started with a 36-yard dash by Bisik. The threat ended on the Harvard 16 when Robert Woods fourth-down pass fell incomplete.

Uncovering a classy passing at tack Geneva rallied in the last period to score two touchdowns for its victory.

Rally In Last Period Trailing by six points the Gold and White fired its big guns after an exenange or punis. iney marched 63 yards for the first score, using the air for nearly all gains except 15 yards. Pete Kane, full back, made eight yards, and Charley Perz, sophomore quarterback from Library, added the remainder. It was third down with the ball on Tech seven-yam line wnen Perz dropped back to pass. Un able to find a receiver and seeing an opening at left end, he ran and crossed the goal unmolested.

Bill Joyce, the Covenanters' captain from Sharpsville, played the featured role as the Genevans roll ed up the winning touchdown, only a minute before the game enaea. An exchange of punts following the kickoff round Tech in pos session on the Piaia 18. ueorge Richardson, Tartan halfback, made five yards on an end run, and then Joyce bobbed up on the 30-yard line to intercept a pass thrown by John Fritz. He was brought down on the Tech 20. Perz threw two incomplete passes, but the third one to Bruno clicked for 16 yards and first down on the four-yard marker.

On a reverse at left end, Blinn lost a yard, then Joyce rammed over left guard for the touchdown. Milan Sassic, Geneva guard, came in and added the extra point from placement. Philipchuk Scores Carnegie scored midway in the second period when Fullback Bill Philipchuk rammed his way over center from the one-yard line to climax a drive that started on the Geneva 25. Earlier the Skibos had driven from their own 45 to the Geneva 10 with a 30-yard pass, Fritz to Matonis featuring. But Fritz, on a reverse around right end, fumbled with Matter, Of Geneva, recovering on the five.

Medrocostis kicked out to Fritz who returned seven yards to the 25. Fritz, fading to pass, was rushed and let fly a wild heave that was intercepted by Millard Phillips but interference was ruled on the play, giving Tech a first down on the Geneva 15. Fritz then passed to Bill Johnson, end, who was stopped on the three A pass was broken up by Bob Masneri, Geneva end, but Philipchuk in two punches at center went over. Matonis attempt at place ment was wide. Nick Medrocostis, Geneva fresh man fullback, suffered a back injury in the third period and- was rushed to Providence Hospital.

Michigan was the last of Minnesota's foes who could wrest its title although the Gophers still must whh? three more conference teams before clinching an undisputed championship. Michigan's superb defense threw back Minnesota carriers for one full period and half of another before Capt. Bruce Smith kicked the punt and passed the pass that helped plunge Michigan from the ranks of the undefeated. Frickey Goes Over Smith's 70-yard kick gained 35 yards on an exchange with Michi gan's Tom Kuzma. On second down, with the ball on Michigan's 48, Smith feinted a run around his own left end, halted suddenly and whipped a long pass to Herman Frickey, who was run out of bounds by Kuzma on Michigan's five.

Then came the Minnesota prayer. After Smith had failed to gain, the Gophers gambled with Frickey the sophomore and in just two plays the 21-year-old youngster from Bil lings, hurtled into the end zone for the only touchdown of the game. Bill Garnaas, later to star in a defensive role by intercepting two Michigan passes inside his own five yard line, place-kicked the ex tra point. It was Minnesota fourth straight victory and the first defeat for the Wolverines in five games. Garnaas Saves Gophers For all the heralded power of Minnesota's supposedly impregnable line, it was Garnaas who preserved the Gophers' winning streak at 13 games.

Rebounding from that unexpected touchdown, Michigan roared 9C yards with the subsequent kickoff, most of it on a 43-yard kickoff return by Capt Bob Westfall and a 31 -yard pass from Kuzma to Paul White. White, apparently in the clear, was hauled down from behind by Garnaas on Minnesota's 20. There the Wolverines made their greatest offensive only to lose possession on a fumble by Westfall. A lateral pass from Kuzma to West-fall produced a Michigan first-down on the five-yard line, but Westfall failed to gain, then fumbled on second down and Bob Sweiger recovered for Minnesota on the eight as the first half ended. Michigan Bid Fails Michigan more than held its own during the third period, and, with the exception of an unsuccessful field goal attempt of 21 yards by Garnaas, the Wolverines were the entire offensive show.

A 24-yard forward pass from 145-pound Bud Higgins to Garnaas moved the ball into position for Garnaas wide placement but after an exchange of punts, Joe Rogers recovered a fumble by Higgins on Minnesota's 34 and Michigan spent the remaining nine minutes bang- Statistics Mich.
