Wolverines 'Accept' Win from Wildcats In which it fumbled 10 times, played "hot potato" again yester MINNEAPOLIS (U.PJ Undefeated Minnesota, like its proud predecessors of 30 years ago, shackled another Illinois running star and scored a convincing 19-6 victory yesterday over fading Illinois. The victory was impressive and heart-warming to Gopher stars of the 1924 game who upset Illinois and the Immortal Red Grange 20-7. Many of them were among the sellout crowd of 63,810.

Stop Caroline The ninth-rated Gophers domi nated play completely except for a natural letdown in the closing minutes of the third period when Illinois scored its only touchdown. During the first half, Illinois' Ail-American halfback J. C. Caroline, was held to only 12 yards in six times with the ball. The Gopher "bench warmers" played most of the second half and three times got within touch down distance only to have two fumbles and a clipping penalty wipe out the threats.

Uncover New Star While halfback Bob McNamara again was the chief Gopher running threat. Coach Murray War- math may have found a new star in fullback Ken Yackel, a hockey and baseball letter winner playing his first year of college football. Yackel led the Gopher backs in Hutchinson Signs To Pilot Seattle SEATTLE W) Freddie Hutchinson, field pilot of the Detroit Tigers for two seasons, came back home yesterday to' sign as manager for three years of the Pacific Coast League Seattle Rainiers. Hutchinson got his professional baseball start here, winning 25 games as a kid pitcher with the Rainiers in 1938.

Left halfback Danny Cline went over from the one for the score after fullback Fred Baer set up the touchdown with three' pile-driving plunges that ate up 11 yards. Fumbles Galore Sophomore end Fred Kramer kicked the point and ended the scoring for the day. Northwestern fumbled chance after chance all during the game, and on one sequence Michigan got into the act by contributing a fumble after a home team mis-cue that had the fans and officials confused. On the first play of the second half. Northwestern halfback Jim Troglio sprinted 62 yards and was caught from behind on the Michigan 21 as Northwestern seemed headed for a touchdown.

On the next play, however, Bobby Lauter fumbled and Michigan recovered. After one ground play, Michigan halfback Ed Shannon fumbled and Northwestern recovered. Cline Stars Troglio was a hero in the Northwestern cause, and the only sure-fingered back on the team. He was a threat every time he carried the ball and was the big gainer for the day with 117 yards in 12 carries. Cline and Baer were the big guns for the Wolverines, and Shannon was outstanding on defense, making several score-saving tackles.

Halfback Jon Arnett, a brilliant open field runner, led the fleet victors, running up the surprising total of 179 yards by himself. Arnett Stars He scored all three Southern Cal touchdowns and the kicking specialist, Sam Tsagalakis, added a field goal in what became a near rout in the second half. Oregon's adept passer, quarterback George Shaw, made it close in the first half, his tosses moving the ball 47 yards to an Oregon touchdown that tied the score at 7-7 at the intermission.

But the Southern. Cal backs began laying for his passes in the second half. They grabbed two of them and turned them into scor ing opportunities. Halfback Lindon Crow Intercepted one in the third quarter and dashed 46 yards to the Oregon 11. It took just three plays from there for Arnett to score.

Arnett himself seized the next, dodging 35 yards in a run-back to the Oregon 4. Hescored two plays later to put his team ahead, 24-7. The victory kept Southern Cal in contention for the Coast Conference Rose Bowl nomination with two straight conference wins. Southern Cal will face the California Bears next week.

tm mtw- The victory, Notre Dame third against one defeat this season, broke a string of three straight Michigan State wins over the Irish, and gave the Spartans their third loss in four games this season.

Two Notre Dame all-weather backs, Joe Heap and Don Schaefer, were the stand-outs of the day as they crashed through the out weighed Spartan line consistently after the Spartans grabbed their stunning lead. Heap, who tallied two touch downs on runs of one and 16 yards, finished the game with 113 yards net on 23 carries, while Schaefer, a slender Junior with gazelle speed even on a muddy field, gained 75 yards on 10 carries. Schaefer Converts The performance of these two stalwarts set up the eventual win' ning points for Notre Dame and Paul Reynolds, a halfback handi capped by injuries in two previous years, ran eight yards for the last Notre Dame score.

Schaefer converted after the first two Notre Dame touchdowns to pull the Irish ahead, but he missed after the last score. The Spartans paraded 61 yards down field after the opening kick off before Clarence went over from the four. Less than five minutes, later, after Ferris Hallmark recovered Ralph Gug lielmi's fumble, Earl Morrall passed to John Lewis for 46 yards and a touchdown. Miss Field Goal Tries Planutis made the first conver sion, but missed on both later attempts as well as on a 14-yard field goal try in the fourth period. Morrall also missed a field goal effort for the Spartans from the 16.

The Spartans' last touchdown came after John Matsock, a run' ning star all day, returned Notre Dame's klckoff 18 yards. Then Morral passed to Lewis for 44 yards and Bert ZaggerS romped 14 for the touchdown which made a tie possible. Michigan State made 142 yards rushing compared to. 276 for the Irish, but had 149 passing to Notre Dame's 38. However, Notre Dame tried only two passes in the en' tire second half.

Notre Dame lost the ball three times on fumbles and Michigan State once, a good record considering the mud which grew steadily worse during the Intermittent downpour. Matsock, a speedster with a standout change of pace, kept the Spartans rolling with his kickoff returns, gaining 114 yards on four tries. In addition he carried the ball eight times for 71 yards, in cluding a 50-yard jaunt. Notre Dame used only 17 players while Michigan State used 26. The Lineup: Notre Dame) F.nds Shannon.

St. Philip 7 0 0 613 Resurrection 13 13 8 032 Fans Don't Mind Heavy Rains Irish Win Over MSC Keeps Crowd Hopping By WENDY FOLTZ (Enquirer and Newa Sporta Editor) SOUTH BEND In spite of ad verse weather conditions which persisted throughout the game. It was still one of those typical Notre Dame-Michigan State games which have thrilled fans in the present-day series.

Fans stayed right through the final gun even though many were literally soaked to the skin. The canvas was removed from the field an hour before game time but by the time the game started. It was slippery going. Although dugouts are provided for teams at the stadium here, both squads sat on chairs on the sidelines in the rain. Terry Brennan, youthful Irish coach, was dressed for the occasion, being attired in a sweatsuit.

It was so muddy, both teams came out with clean jerseys to start tne second half so players could be identified. After State saw its 13-0 lead vanish in the third quarter, 14-13, the Spartans tried to get back into the lead with pair of field goal attempts. Earl MorraU's boot was short of its mark. Gerry Planutis Missed one later in game from the 14-yard line that sailed about a foot to the right of the goalpost. And then, after State had made it 19-20 in the closing minute of play, Planutis' try for the extra point that would have tied the game, again went to the right of the uprights.

It was the first conversion he's missed this season. The Spartan line looked exceptionally effective on its blocking assignments in the first period. But the Irish were breaking through some in the second half. One of the most vulnerable spots in the Spartan forward wall was at the defensive right tackle spot and when quarterback Ralph Guglielmi found the weak spot, he kept peppering at it with continued success the remainder of the game In spite of Coach Duffy Daugh erty's attempts to plug up the hole. Vie Postula, the MSC fullback from Marshall, got into the game spelling Planutis.

He picked up 11 yards on five carries for 2 and one-half yards per try. Bat-tie Creek's Lou Loncaric, former St. Philip high star who is now a sophomore at Notre Dame, didn't get into the game as Dick Szymanski played all the way at center for the Irish. It was a spectacular game and couldn't have been much more so on a dry field. Long runs, lohg Basses, field goal attempts, fum bles kept the wet, chilly fans exercising vigorously as it seemed the crowd of 57,238 would not more than get seated and it would be back up on its feet as some new situation would arise that could have easily changed the cbmplex- lon of the game.

Saturday's game was a replica of the last time the two teams played here in 1950 in which MSC won in another thriller, 36-33. But the Irish were in a fighting mood jesterday and not to be denied as they eked out their one-point win to break the three-game win- streak the Spartans had run up. Notre Dame fans were Just sitting down with a 20-13 win all wrapped up when Morrall connected with big John Lewis for a 44-yard pass play and Bert Zagers followed it with his fancy-stepping 14-yard TD jaunt in the final minute of the game. And they didn't breathe easily again until the extra point was missed. It was the first one-point defeat for MSC since a 7-6 loss to Kentucky in 1947.

Resurrection's ball handling was uncanny through all but the final minutes of the well-played game. Rain and muddy going failed to stop the offenses of the two clubs as Resurrectlo nrolled to 412 yards on the ground and 39 more in the air.

St. Philip ripped off 202 yards rushing and 68 passing. Bob Kerns Scores The home club wrapped it up In the first half, scoring four touchdowns in exactly 13 razzle-dazzle plays. St. Philip tallied a marker In the opening period but trailed at halftime 26-7.

Halfback Bob Kerns scored the first St. Philip touchdown, on a four yard rush that capped a spectacular 63 yard drive covered in nine plays. Back Bob Blazekovic broke loose for a 35-yard hipper dipper scamper during the drive. sidelines with a twisted right ankle after a 35-yard run in the fourth period. The loss was the fourth straight for Illinois in its worst start in 65 years of football.

UCLA Buries Stanford, 72 to 0 LOS ANGELES OJJ UCLA's unbeaten Bruins yesterday buried Stanford under a 72-0 score, the worst drubbing in the history of one of the oldest schools in the west.

A deadly pass defense and a spectacular ground attack by the team rated No. 3 in the nation last week literally crushed the Indians under an avalanche of 11 touchdowns. As the UCLA homecoming day crowd of 70,555 spectators filed out of the Coliseum historians dug back into the record book to find a parallel. They had to thumb clear back to 1901 and the first Rose Bowl game to find the next worst Stanford licking a 49-0 score rolled up by Michigan. Four times in the first half the Bruins intercepted passes from Stanford's quarterback, John Brodie, and four times they wheeled away for touchdowns to build up a 27-0 lead at the half.

Then the real rout set in. The Bruins scored three touchdowns in the third period and four in a fourth quarter massacre.

A partisan crowd of 41,800 sat in stunned disbelief as the Crim son Tide, rated no better than an even choice, rolled over the Vols for the first time since 1947.

It was the worst licking Ala bama ever gave Tennessee on Shields-Watkins field. The margin of victory was the widest since 1906 when the count was a whop ping 51-0. Elmore, handling Alabama's split-T offensive faultlessly, connected for three touchdown passes to as many receivers. He also picked up 107 yards on 10 runs to grab individual rushing honors.
