MARTIN, AKRON FRESHMAN FULLBACK, HEAPS FOR EM) AM) THE ZIPS' SECOND TOUCHDOWN AGAINST MOUNT. Spartan 'Platoons' Shred Hoosiers Xofrc llanu Safety Turns Tide For Irish SOUTH BEND, Ind. (IB- Notre Dame forgot its fancv football Saturday and stuck to brutally powerful line plav to score 16 points in the second half and trample Pittsburgh 23-14, before 57,998 fans. It was Notre Dame's third victory of the season against no defeats. YET THE rANTBERS, 19 point underdogs, gave the team ranked as the nation': best, a thorough going over in the first half and gained a 14-7 Intermission edge.

Marion Rossi had made only three of nine extra points prior to Saturday while Bert Patterson of Mount Union entijred the game with a six 'ir six record.

Rossi made two for two against the Raiders and Patterson missed his only try. Rossi's points proved to hs the margin of victory as th Zips blew a IfiO halftime advantage. THE VICTORY is the fifth straight for (lie Zips and assures them of their, first winning seasor, since 1916. It gives them the top spot in the Ohio Conference and the best win ning record in the state. It also is the first time In five years Akron has bested Mount Union.

The defeat knocks the Raiders out of the. unbeaten class after four straight victories. Akron played its game In the first half and Mount took over in the second. The Zips made, all their points in the first two periods while gaining 140 yards through the air and 77 on the ground. Mount made a total of 77 yards In the first half.

In the second half the Raid ers made their 15 points while running up a total of 118 yards to Akron's 62. ROSSI not only accounted for the two exira points but passed foi both touchdowns.

And they scored In tne second on a screen pass, Rossi to John L.

Martin. Late in the first half Hugh Jae was caught, in the end zone by Mario Russo, John Costello, Tom Kirn t.nd David Longacre for a safety. Mount got its fety on the first scrimmage play of the third period when Martin was upended In the end zone. Hugh Jae scored a touchdown In the same quarter and then In the final seconds of the game the Zips, feeling safe with an eight-point edge, handed Mount a gift TD. Patterson missed his point after the first Mount touch down and Joe Zalasko kicked the point after the second score.

a MOUNT UNION received the opening kiekoff and marched to the midfield stripe before Jae punted to Akron's 13. Two Zip plays gained two yards. Rossi pivoted and ran to his right on third down and spotted Verdon near the Mount 30. Verdon gathered in the pass, eluded two men with some nifty footwork near the sidelines and went all the way for the score. Rossi's kick was squarely between the posts and Akron led by 7 0.

Akron made another threat In the opening period, but it ran out of gas on the Haiders' 21. In the second period Akron took over on the Mount 31 when Paul Bickel recovered a fumble.

Point arlnr toirhdownai oaat t. Most important of the miss-! ing items is Quarterback John Borton of Alliance; passer, part-time punter, field general, and team picker-upper. Some of the pieces which have come hack had all the starch taken out of them; a not uncommon penalty paid by those who lack what It takes to do their own cleaning. FOR THREE quarters of this third meeting of Buckeyes and Quakers, the Ohioans played like one of tne Poorer clubs in thfhlT Conference, Df tub on the Bucks third defensive play was recovered by End John Lavln for Penn on the Ohio 21 and It was only a matter of minutes until Fullback Joe Varaitis smashed for Penn's one and only touchdown. Felver held for Quarterback Ed Gramigna's attempted conversion but Massillon's Mike Takacs deflected the ball enough to spoil it.

For a long time it looked like the 6 0 score might hold. For a long time after the Bucks got six for themselves, it looked like Takac's kick-spoiling act would become the big play of the game. THE BUCKS stumbled, fumbled and humbled themselves when they again gained possession in this initial period. They could move only backward and when it came time to punt they drew derisive laughs from many in the sunbaked crowd of 44,270 when Woody Hayes moved Dean Dugger from end to center, moved Center Steve Vargo into punting position, only to have Dugger pass the ball over Vargo's head: with Lavin recovering for Pennon the Ohio 11. This time the Burks held and went back to the offensive on their own 19; the first good showing they had made.
