A 30-yard pass grounded in the end the U.

S. Military Academy had achieved one of the season's major upsets, a 7-7 tie at Franklin St SUNDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 16, 1947 a Downs Temple, 14-6 I 't -3aS Sports Racing a 1 I Michigan, Illinois Win Wolverines Trounce Wisconsin for Title; Iowa Scores Upset By Associated Press Michisnn's magical Wolverines clinched the Bit: Nine title and a Rose Bowl trip uith a crushing: 40-6 triumph over a stunned Wisconsin eleven in a Meet-swept battle before a capacity crowd of 47,000 at Madison. yesterday. The Wolverines, who tossed all of their intricate attack against Wisconsin despite a soprgy field and a miniature blizzard, scored two touchdowns in the opening period and then coasted to an easy victory.

NEAR PERFECT SEASON The triumph almost assured Coach Fritz Crisler of his first perfect sea-son In 10 Wolverine years, with only down-trodden Ohio State remaining ahead In the regular schedule. In other Big Nine contests. Iowa upset Minnesota, 13-7, and Illinois rolled past Ohio State, 28-7. Michigan's razzle dazzle attack simply bowled over the surprising Badgers, who now are destined to finish a runner-up to Michigan in the Conference race, even if they subdue Minnesota in their season finale next Saturday. Michigan, ranked the Nation's No.

CIIAPPL'IS BRILLIANT Wisconsin, which confronted the Wolverines with three victories and a tie in Conference play, struck for its only touchdown in the second period when Reserve Halfback Jim Embach smashed across from six yards out. Halfback Bob Chappuis. Michigan's outstanding candidate for All-America laurels, was the kingpin in the crushing triumph. He uncorked three touchdown passes, two of them surprise short flips to Quarterback Howard "Verges, who previously had caught only one scoring toss, and another to End Dick Rifenburg.

VERSATILE ATTACK The statistics clearly demonstrated the decisiveness of Michigan's triumph, its 17th over Wisconsin against four defeats and one tie in their series. The Wolverines rolled to 281 yards from, rushing and 136 by passing, while Wisconsin collected 101 overland and only 42 through the air. Besides their three aerial scoring thrusts, the Wolverines also tallied on a brilliant 77-yard punt return by Gene Derricotte. a 22-yard run by Fullback Jack Weisenburger and a Continued on Page 3, Column 2 M.clnigaini 2i lmhn NnpkiKi 4t Mtrktlia Mai 14 7 F-.

N. Nov. 15.

A man of destiny brought Princeton University from the doldrums of mediocrity to a place of football prominence as the well-drilled Tiger team stunned favored Yale University, 17-0. today to reign as Big Three champion for the first time since 1939. Fifty thousand heavily robed spectators- saw the home team implete a sweep of both Harvard University and Yale in the same season for the 10th time in Princeton history. And the 23d triumph over the Ells in the 70-game series which was begun ia 1873 checked an Eli string of success after four In a row. 'DESTINY' TEAM ON HAND The victory was particularly sweet for a section of Princeton rooters.

Seated in the stands were members of Princeton's 1922 "team of destiny," the group who blanked a previously unbeaten Yale team. 3-0. Twenty-five years lapsed between Princeton shutouts over the Elis, and to the reunited Princeton '22 destiny players it was most fitting that one of their backfield members. Coach Charlie Caldwell, should lead the current Tigers to a gTeat victory. Caldwell was truly a coach of destiny.

He molded a squad with apparent average ability at the start of the season into a team of skilled perfectionists. Even with the multiple ball-handling assignment of the Caldwell single-wing, Princeton played the entire game without a fumble. A running attack built around John Weber and Carl Leibert gained 157 yards, and passes by Leibert and Dick West resulted in a total air advance of 189 yards. KEUFFEL KICKS FIELD GOAL The scoring was bunched in the center of the game. Leibert climaxed a six-play 43-yard drive with a six-yard run off left guard and Ken Keuffel kicked the extra point and a field goal from the 14 in the second period.

After receiving the second half kickoff. the Tigers drove 60-yards on 13 plays with Weber moving the final foot through the middle and Keuffel again converting. During the first period, the T-powered Ells drove twice to within the Princeton 35, made four first downs to none and appeared to the first team that would win five straight in the tradition-rich series in which Yale had won 37 times and tied on 10 occasions. FRANK STARS Ball-hsmdler Bob Furse was largely responsible lor Yale gains and EH guards. John Prchlik and Frank.

the IC 4-A discus champion from Philadelphia who was a schoolboy star at Central High, helped contain the Tigers durinti the first 15 minutes. But after Princeton's defensive marvel, Captain Dick West, intercepted Furse's early second period pass on the Princeton 38 and wiggled back to the Yale 43, Princeton controlled activities on the slippery field. West's deed put the Tigers in position to open up for the first time and they showed plenty. Weber exploited right tackle for 14 yards; George Sella caught a flat pass from Leibert Continued on Page 5. Column 1 Harvard Victor In Last 90 Sees.

CAMBRIDGE. Nov. 15 (AP). A spirited Harvard Univer sity football team, ignoring its un derdog role, scored a touchdown the last 90 seconds today to defeat Brown University, 13-7, before It was the Cantabs' first victory after three straight losses. Harvard took the lead, 7-0.

a'J PHILADELPHIA. Smith Gets Two Tallies For Spartans Feld man Scores For Owls After 68-Yard March Br STAN A I'M GARTNER Horace Smith, a Negro will-o-wisp, who holds the Michigan scholastic record for the high hurdles, carried the Michigan State College football team to its expected 14-6 triumph over Temple University yesterday at the Owl Stadium on a rainswept gridiron before 7500. Running like the wind, and stepping on top of the mud like a pro fessional cake walker, Smith scored on 54-yard forward pass play near the finish of the first half for Michi gan State's initial touchdown. SPRINTS 72 YARDS Then midway in the fourth period Smith took a handout from Lynn Chandois after Ralph Hansen's punt and went 72 yards around right end for the second touchdown. George Smith booted both extra points.

The Owls scored their only touchdown Immediately after the Spar tans second six pointer on a 68-yard march, sparked by a 62-yard forward pass play, Paul Dubenetsky to Joe Lee, and climaxed by quarterback Shelly Feldman's 6 inch sneak over center. SMITH DIFFERENCE The fleet Smith was the difference between two splendidly matched teams who fought almost on even terms throughout the entire 60 minutes. In the matter of first downs the visitors held a 12-11 advantage. In yards gained rushing the mid-westerners held a comfortable margin of 229 to 142 but in total yardage they marked up only a 365 to 293 margin. Honors were even in the first period when both teams marched deep into each other's territory only to be halted.

The Michigan Staters went to the Owl 32 at the start but bogged down. Temple then ground through to the Spartan 32 as the session came to an end. SPARTANS REACH 32 In the second period the Spartans held a distinct advantage. Midway in the session they marched to the Owl 32 and appeared only to be halted by an inspired Temple defense. It was shortly after this that Smith struck for a touchdown.

With the ball in Michigan State's posses sion on its 44. Eugene Gllck, former All Michigan State basketball player, was sent into the game for the first time. He faded back and hurled a magnificent toss to Smith, who caught the ball on the Owl 25 and raced over the goal. This gave Continued on Page 3, Column 4 before 8000 in Convention Hall.

Nov. 15 (AP). Angelo Bertrando's Devil's Luck today set a track mark of 1:42 1-5 for mile and 70 yards as he won the featured West Barrington Handi cap before 7500. The seven-year-old Hard Tack gelding clipped one and two-fifths seconds from the record set last August by Hutch. He ran second to Oscar Spink's Colleague through the early stages and then moved up In the home stretch to beat the Fantasy Farm's Spite! ul Sua by half a length.

Field yesterday. Nine seconds to play. Bob Evans dropped back to pass from his position as tailback In Pcnn's right formation. From a spot far out on the right, Harry Wett-laufer, a third-string end who'd just entered the game, began running with the snap of the ball. But he was surrounded by a swarm of defenders.

Evans could not find a receiver open: it looked as though he were trapped. PENALTY PROLONGS GAME But, no Evans ducked between a pair of charging Army linemen, sprinted downfield to Army's 45; a 14-yard gain. But even as he ran, the clock ticked off the fatal seconds, and when he went down, beneath a pile-up of Cadets, the game was over. But, no it wasn't over! The Cadets were called for unnecessary roughness, and a game cannot end with a penalty against the defense. Referee Harry Dayhoff paced oft 15 yards, and Earl H.

Blaik, the Army coach, who had started cross-field to shake hands with his Pennsylvania counterpart, George Munger, found himself in a maze of players. "Get back get back," the officials ordered. "The game's not over!" FINAL PASS GROUNDS Not over and Blaik stepped back: he had just seen Penn move the ball 36 yards in three plays "I had died a thousand deaths" and he returned to die again. Time had run out, but Penn had one more play. It was a pass it had to be and Evans, who had completed three of seven aerials for 32 yards, dropped back to try again.

This time he had perfect protection. He had plenty of time, and now the target was the player stationed on the other flank, Wayne Helman. Evans arched the ball perfectly toward the goal line. But Helman, hemmed between two defenders, could not get to the ball. It flew over his head, bounced sog- giiy.

'ARMY'S BEST BLAIK On this high note ended the most exciting game of the season here. It was almost like last week's game between Northwestern and Ohio State; only, of course, on that occasion the Buckeyes' last ditch efforts succeeded, and they emerged with a 7-6 triumph. It was too much to expect lightning to strike two straight weeks. "But it was a great game," said Blaik. "At least, I thought so.

Of course, on a dry day, you would have seen that ball tossed around a great deal more often. But it was a wonderful game to watch, and we played our best." Twice beaten, once tied in seven previous engagements, the Cadets found the result sweet atonement for one of their setbacks, the 21-20 defeat suffered at the hands of a Columbia team which Penn had walloped by 34-14. "Army played a great game and deserved everything it got." mourned Munger. "But the fates were a gainst us. I guess." The fates, a 200-pound Texan Continued on Page 2, Column 3 i a- 1 I Lions' eighth successive success, witnessed by 25,000 soaked, shiv ering fans, was a convincing 20-7 count, registered chiefly by the flying feet of Jeff Durkota, the hurrying fullback drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles for next season's pro play.

On his pair of scoring scampers, measuring 48 and 42 yards, the 205-pound Dt -kota looked like a graduate grid great already and so did some of his assisting teammates. LARRY JOE RUNS 59 YARDS In between these bolts, Bobby Williams capitalize on Larry Joe's brilliant trek of 59 yards by hitting seven straight times for the final 13 yards and the touchdown that broke a 7-7 tie early in the third quarter. The stalemate that prevailed at the time was caused by Bob Home's heave to Al McCully in the clear for a 46-yard scoring shot. The triumph equaled the all-time victory total for Penn State, with the final clash next Saturday against the University of Pittsburgh available to make history. The 1912 State team won eight for the only perfect record, while the 1921 eleven last unbeaten squad captured the same total but was tied twice.

15 (AP). The dogged Northwestern Wildcats, humiliated by five defeats in seven starts, almost made a myth of Notre Dame's invincibility today, but the desperate Fighting Irish shook off the surprise for a 26-19 victory, their seventh in a row. Playing on a soggy field in a drizzle, the Wildcats marched 81 yards for one touchdown, turned a pass interception into another, and then sent a sellout throng of 48,000 to their feet in the last quarter when Pewee Day, a third-stringer, filched Frank Tripucka's aerial and pranced 18 yards for a third marker. Northwestern fumbled the ball seven times, and lost it on four occasions. Two of the bobbles were recovered by the great Notre Dame tackle.

George Connor, at opppor-tune times. The Irish, who netted 284 yards by- rushing while holding Northwestern to 49. passed to three touchdowns and dro-e 60 yards on the ground for the fourth.
