18 (A. Michigan's Wolverines pushed Northwestern out of the undefeated list today, presented a new and somewhat unexptoted Big Ten challenge to Minnesota, and gained complete, if somewhat belated, recognition as one of the Nation's top-ranking elevens. By all odds, the Wolverines' feat in halting powerful Northwestern. 14-7. in a spectacular battle at Evanston was the outstanding performance of a comparatively calm football Saturday marked otherwise by the initial defeats suffered by Columbia, Cornell and Dartmouth of the eastern "Ivy League," Nebraska.

Sophomore Tom Kuzma Michigan struck twice through the air, Kuzma doing-the pitching, and then staved off repeated Northwestern threats to protect its margin and assure itself of an unbeaten record as the Wolverines prepare to meet Minnesota at Ann Arbor next Saturday. Minnesota meantime rolled over Pitt's purified Panthers, 39-C. but suffered a heavy blow when Halfback Bruce Smith was injured early in the game.

Sailine blithely along the unbeaten trail along with Michigan and Minnesota were Texas Long-horns, Texas A. and Duke, Vanderbilt. Army, Navy, Ford-ham. Penn, Temple, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Detroit and Georgia, to mention a few. Navy, led by Bill Busik, slowly core down a fine Cornell array, 14-0.

while Army, showing definite rigns of revival under Head Coach Earl Blaik, tossed Yale for a 20-7 loss. Texas, continuing its sensational pace, buried Arkansas un-cer a 48-14 count, while Texas A. and M. handed Texas Christian its first defeat, 14-0. Duke, after early trouble with Colgate, finally began to roll and wound up on the long end of a 27-14 score, while Vanderbilt, sole unbeaten, untied team in the Southeastern Conference, stopped Georgia Tech, 14-7.

Ohio State, after picking up a 16-0 lead, just managed to last against Purdue, 16-14, while Notre Dame, playing in the rein, was held to a 16-0 score by Carnegie Tech, beaten tvice this season by small college foes. Penn took a full half to get under way and then trampled Princeton easily, 23-0. Temple halted Penn State. 14-0, while Georgia, with Frank Sinkwich doing the scoring, nipped Columbia's previously undefeated Lions, 7-3. Detroit won over Oklahoma A.

The juiciest fruit which on the Ivy doth grow, a grand slam gridiron triumph over the storied Big Three, came to tasty harvest on Palmer Field today as Penn's dashing footmen cut down embattled Princeton.

By a score of 211 to 0, the hard-hitting Red and Blue, paced by two reserve tailbacks, Bob Odell and Bill Miller, shattered the ancient jinx which said no Penn team could win at football on Princeton Viield. By their thrill-paeked, second-half triumph every Penn point was jabbed ,4 All-American candidates, failed to materialize. That is it failed to materialize frcm the State point of view. Petrella made a net total of 13 yards in 13 tries and was running toward his home own of Downing -town most of the time. He also made one or two damaging fumbles.

Tomasic wasn't exactly a ball of fire either compared to his superlative performances in the other three games. Handy Andy toted the apple 19 times for a gain of 63 yards and a net yardage of 50. The top ground gainers on both clubs were Sutch, of Temple, and John Banbury, of State.

Oct. 18 (A. Santa Clara's Broncos, snatching at a break mid-way of the first period, rushed over a touchdown today to squeeze out a 7 to 0 victory over a fighting Michigan State team in the West Coast's top intersectional football game of the day. A weak punt on the part of, Dick Kieppe, Michigan State left half, set the stage for the only score of the game. He toed the oval out of bounds on his own 23-yard line a net gain of 12 yards and the Broncos were quick to seize the opportunity.

Their goal line still had not been crossed, though Cornell came so close in the first quarter that it practically took an act of Providence to head the Big Red off.

Captain Fran Lee, a shifty halfback, ran over Captain Stub Pearson, Dartmouth tackle, on a three-yard plunge for the Crimson touchdown.
