Oct.

Oct. 15 Lit The University of Pittsburgh Panthers, using their heavier weight to advantage on a slippery field, ground out a 21-7 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers today with power thrusts through the line.

15 UP) Top ranked Michigan lost some of its glitter to an inspired Northwestern team today, but finally posted a 14-2 win to remain unbeaten. It was Michigan's fourth straight victory and second in the Big Ten but its offense was ineffective and its defense was strained by the enraged Wildcats. Michigan's fourth string fullback Earl Johnson, plunged for the first score from the Northwestern 2, after halfback Terry Barr had driven from the Wildcat 12, quarterback Jim Maddock converted. Michigan insured its lead late in the fourth period when Barr sprinted 46 yards through the tiring Wildcats and Tony Bran- off converted. Northwestern's only tally came in the second period when the hard-charging Wildcat line forced Branoff to fumble in his own end zone, where he recovered for a Northwestern safety.

Northwestern's halfbacks Jerry Weber and Oliver Lindborg drove the Wildcats once to the Michigan 6 and again to the Michigan 10 where the Wolverine defense stiffened and held. Michigan's first touchdown was typical of its scoring this season. lanta. The big tackles are key factors in springing James loose on his long runs that often bring touchdowns. Auburn won the game, 14-12.

Syracuse kept the play in Army's back yard all the time, but it looked as if the two might settle for a scoreless tie when, late in the third period Tat Vebel fumbled and Charles Strid, Syracuse guard, recovered on the Cadet 26. After three line bucks advanced only to the 22, quarterback Ed Albright defied the rain and called for an intricate sweep to the left.

He pitched to Ridlon who got off a perfect pass to Althouse. which was caught on the five. The big Syracuse end raced over for the score. Jim Brown, who was a constant running threat, converted. Gus Zaso, Syracuse back, intercepted an Army pass on the Syracuse 42 in the final period to start the touchdown march.

Brown repeatedly slashed the Army line and after he had reached the Cadet 7 on short bucks, Ridlon went around his left end for the tally. Not until the very end of the game could Army get beyond mid-field, and even then the Cadets bogged down on the Syracuse 40. Syracuse, dumped by Pitt in its opening game, was figured no inateh for Army but the Orangemen started off with a rush and geyer let up the pressure. Syracuse lost a golden scor- ing opf ortunity in the second period that was set up when Albright intercepted a pass by Don Holleder on the 50 and ran back to the Army 25. Brown picked up 7 on plunges and Albright lobbed a basketball fiass to Althouse who slithered to the ten.

Syracuse tried to dent the big Army line but the Cadets finally took over on downs on the 5 after Brown was stopped off tackle. Shortly before this Army took the ball on downs on the Army 27 when Syracuse was unable to cash in on Dick Lasse's recovery of Slike Ziegler's fumble. The last time Army was shut cut at West Point, before its fanatically cheering Cadet Corps, was in i943 when Navy did the trick by the same score that Syracuse achieved today.

Auburn simply whipped Tech in the! line and their fired up backs more than matched Tech's: talented crew. The victory put the once-tied winners into the lead in the conference standings. The winning touchdown came early in the final quarter with Tupps' passes eating up 71 of the 80 yards.

After fullback Joe Childress smacked the Tech line for four yards, Tubbs sneaked over. Childress kicked both conversions and they proved the difference, giving Auburn what looks now like a stranglehold on the SEC championship. Auburn scored first late in the opening quarter, driving 61 yards in six plays with Alton Shell racing wide the final 7 yards while Childress faked beautifully up the middle.

Tech scored in the second period on a 66-yard march with Wade Mitchell sneaking the final inches, but Mitchell's conversion was wide. Just after the half Tech took a temporary lead when George Vol-kert burst around left end and raced 59 yards to score. A bad snap prevented Tech's try for this conversion. Auburn hadn't whipped Tech since 1940. Phillips, a worthy successor to the great Jim Pyburn, was just as outstanding defensively as he was on offense.

He continually har- rassed Tech runners. Jerry El liott, another fine end, also did a great twoway 30b. He caught a 21 yard pass in Auburn's final touch down drive. Bob Scarborough, who alternated between guard and cen ter, was another outstanding Au burn linesman. Tubbs called' a beautiful game, mixing his passes with the driving smashes of Chil- dress and the deceptive slants of Fob James.

During the drive to the winning touchdown, Auburn had four to go on fourth down at Tech's 31 and the junior quarterback from Birmingham decided to gamble. He sent Phillips to the left while the backs faked to the right and hit the 6 foot 1 inch sophomore from Alexander City, with a 12-yard completion. The only blemish on Auburn's record is a 14-14 tie with Kentucky and the plainsmen are heavily favored to roll over their remaining SEC foes Tulane, Mississippi State, Georgia and Alabama and Grab their first championship since the league was formed in 1933.

Yale Defies Rain, Cornell, Batters Both NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. 15 Daring, unbeaten-untied Yale, defying the worst rainstorm in the history of its bowl, today walloped plucky Cornell 34-6 and moved to the top of the Ivy League. Despite the rough elements, the blue won its fourth straight game of the season and gought in a row over Cornell with a spectacular attack led by Al Ward, 'son of a farmer Yale basketball captain. Ward tallied three touchdowns, all in the opening half.

Cornell seldom was in the running and the loss may prove extremely costly to the losers. Bill DeGraaf, the big Red's best runner and passer, suffered a serious leg injury early in the third period. Striking with a pulverizing at tack, Yale scored four times in the first half and again in the final period. Cornell tallied its only touchdown early in the second quarter and was on Yale's three-yard line in its only other threatening nvve as the game ended. Fumbles hurt both teams, especially Yale in the third when Cornell halted the blue forces on its seven and five.

It was Maryland's 10th consecutive and North Carolina's third loss against one victory this season.

Vereb, a hard-running, 185-pound senior from Pittsburgh, scored one touchdown from the six and two others from three yards out. In the second quarter, he flipped a nine-yard pass to halfback Howard Dare for another touchdown. Behind by 19-0, North Carolina managed to break into the scoring on a freak play.

Maryland rolled up 213 yards net rushing in holding the Tar Heels to their 18. The Terrapins slammed 75 yards for a touchdown the first time they got possession. Vereb climaxed the drive by slamming over from the six. In the second period, the alert Vereb intercepted a pass by Tar Heel quarterback Dave Reed on the Maryland 34 and the Terps were on the scoring march again. A 48-yard pass from Tamburello to end Russell Dennis was good to the Tar Heel 15.

Four plays later the clever Tamburello pitched out to Vereb who passed 9 yards to Dare for the touchdown. With 50 seconds of the first half remaining, Maryland scored again when Vereb went over from the three. Center Gene Alderton had set up the score by intercepting quarterback Ron Marquette pass on North Carolina's 30 and scooting to the 25. In the fourth period Maryland marched 89 yards for its final score with Vereb again going over from the three. The drive had started on the Maryland 11 after guard Gene Dyson intercepted Reed's pass.

North Carolina missed a chance to score late in the third quarter. Maryland halfback Dick Burgee fumbled on his 27 and Tar Heel guard Bill Koman recovered. Aided by a 15-holding penalty against Maryland, the Tar Heels moved to the 13, but got no closer against the unyielding Maryland defense. Maryland was on North Carolina's nine as the game ended. The Tar Heel's main weapon was the passing combination of Reed to end Will Frye which connected several times for long gains.

West Virginia Coasts, 39-13 MORGANTOWN, W. Oct 15 Lfi West Virginia marked its homecoming today with a bruising 39-13 football victory over William and Mary, as six different Mountaineers scored touchdowns. In the gloom and light rain almost traditional with homecoming at Mountaineer Fieid, West Virginia scored five of its six TDs in the first half. The victory was the 15th straight in Southern Converence competition, and appeared likely to continue the Mountaineers position as national leaders in total offense, passing offense and socring in addition to its tenth place in the AP poll. Three consecutive fumbles by Indian backs, swarmed by West Virginia's charging line, led to the first three WVU touchdowns all in the first quarter.

Jim Nelson, Duke guard, who had converted 12 of 14 attempts this season, missed after Jurgensen's score, but the six-point margin was plenty.

Ohio State's vaunted offense, which had allowed the Bucks to roll over Illinois and Nebraska but failed to dent Stanford, was almost impotent after the first half scoring drives. In the second half the Bucks were held to three first downs, one on a penalty, and gained only 54 yards on running plays and 14 passing. Duke held a 20-8 edge in first downs, outgained the Bucks 218-138 on the ground, and 125-27 through the air. The Dukes rode to victory on the running of Pascal and the superb passing of Jurgensen. The latter, after missing on his first two tosses, completed eight in row for 120 yards, while Pascal ground out 92 yards in 28 smashes at the line.

His kick was right between the uprights, the message on the scoreboard for the home-comers was Iowa 20, visitors 20.
