EIGHTEEN WANT AD SERVICE CALL 2311 THE HONOLULU ADVERTISER, SUNDAY, 2. 1947. MU ELEVEN NOSES OUT TEXAS, 14-13 THIPS FROM Diamond Mead McGUIRE Doak Walker MflsMgsrci) Whips SHmois cMsJecs, S4-7 "THE RIPPEK'S" JtARLN' FOR HUSKEY'S SCALP After his first match with iS'ate Huskey three weeks ao, Mr Robert (The Ripper) Takeshita paced up and down his dressins Kicks Extra room like a man possessed. The outward cause for The Ripper's glowering countenance and unkind words was the draw verdict handed down by the officials. Point Twice Inwardly, we think, Robert's secretly-sensitive soul had been pierced by the support given by local fans to Huskey drive for vie Wolverines Undefeated In 6 Games tory in the last two rounds.

Neither team was beaten or tied going into the Southwest conference's finest duel in many a season, but the Dallas Mustangs a pre-game underdog held the advantage from the opening play. TEXAS WAS knocked off balance at the opening kickoff, which SMU brought back 81 yards to set ud the first touchdown. Today's triumph gave the Wolverines, ranked among the best in the nation this season, an odds-on shot for the 1947 Big Nine cham pionship. Undefeated in six games, Michi gan has captured three Big Nine games and has yet to play In thunderous backing when they are up against imported competition. The Ripper's cockiness in the ring evidently has not endeared him to a good segment of the paying public, which seemed inclined to cheer lustily every time Huskey landed that machine-gun left jab on Takeshita's jutting chin.

As far as we're concerned, Robert's egotism is worth valuable points to him. No champion ever lived who was a shrinking violet about his own ability to flatten an opponent. And we're quite sure that if The Ripper cools Huskey at the Stadium Tuesday night and it is not improbable the bleacherites who rooted so hard for Nate in the first fight will be standing in line to shake the ex-Farrington football player's hand. For the first time in his short but sensational professional career, Takeshita faced an opponent with an educated left jab when Huskey shuffled forth with his peculiar pigeon-toed stance at the opening bell. Robert looked extremely clumsy and off balance on numerous occasions as Huskey's left mitt flicked in and out faster than a Dublin bartender serving drinks on St.

Patrick's Day. For the past several weeks Takeshita has been working out with Georgie Dunn, the dusky welterweight who made an impressive debut against Butch O'Hara last month. The Ripper's improvement, according to reports, has been startling. Dunn, a cutie in his own right, made Robert look pretty bad in their early sessions. But Takeshita, burning to avenge himself on Huskey, has worked harder than ever before in his life.

We have a hunch that Nate won't be connecting with that jab so often Tuesday evening. In fact, we'll stick our long neck out with a prediction that The Ripper will win by a knockout or TKO inside of eight rounds. POST-MORTEMS ON THE PROS A veteran observer summed up the Pacific Coast Professional Football League situation Very aptly when he stated that the Hawaiian Warriors were in a class by themselves; in other words, between the PCFL and the All-American Conference or National League. The Warriors proved this Thursday night, as far as we're concerned, when they annihilated the Sacramento Nuggets, 49 to 13. And the score could have been 100 to 0.

Two of Coach Keith Molesworth's top performers Quarterback Oscar Givens and Left Half Ray (Scooter) Scussell did not play. If they had, we shudder to think what the final result might have been. It was pleasing to watch the fine play of local lads such as Buddy Abreu, Alvin Chang, Ray Nagahara, Adrian Anderson, John Cabral and Johnny Wright. Abreu, in particular, had a field day. If the Nuggets pull the impossible and win next Friday's contest, we will walk down Fort St.

at high noon in our underwear. The San Francisco Clippers did it by catching the Warriors with a bad case of overconfidence. But the Clippers also had some high caliber performers in Vic Ramus and Pete Franceschi, who were dangerous enough to go all the way every time they got their hands on the ball. Coach Milt Gantenbein's Nuggets simply don't have that kind of personnel. Outside of Ray Patterson and Bob Libbee, the backs are diana, Wisconsin and Ohio State.

fr None of these was expected to stop the mighty men of Michigan. BUT ILLINOIS was no push over. Led by ends Ike Owens and Sam Zatkoff, the fast-charging Illini line kept the powerful Mi "5V chigan backfield off balance. That's where Eliott came in. yX -grp.

BUT WALKER did emerge as the hero of the day. He kicked both of SMU's extra points, and in the end they were the margin of victory. Additionally, he turned in a sensational leaping catch of a long pass from Gil Johnson to set up the Methodist's second touchdown and, on the whole, out-generalled Layne, his high school co-star and bosom buddy. FRANK PAYNE took the opening kickoff for SMU and brought the sellout crowd to its feet screaming as he sped out to the 10 and handed the ball to Paul Page. Speed-merchant Page went down the sideline to the Texas 19 before he had to slow up be hind blockers and was hauled down from the rear.

Three plays netted only two yards, then Walker hit Dick Mc-Kissack with a pass on the Texas a handoff from Walker and went four. Two plays later, Page took around left end for the touchdown.

Jake Leicht, Stockton, California, halfback, that set off the Oregon attack for a touchdown within young fellows who try hard but just haven't enough talent. We know they will be enraged by these sentiments and we assure them they are not meant to be unkind. The Warriors broke even financially on the three-game Clipper series because of the 17.S0O paid admissions at the finale.

For the sake of pro football in Hawaii, we fervently hope so. Speaking of self-confidence, Sandor Szabo. recognized as the world's heavyweight champion by the National Wrestling Association, has it to spare. After 32 matches in Australia, the happy Hungarian wrestles for the first time in Honolulu when he meets Lt.

He has promised to put the crn on the block here in a heavyweight tournament Gentleman Karas'k intends to promote after the first of the year.

Petersen also reported that he was in the finest shape of his career and ready to travel the two out of three falls to 45 minutes match at top speed.

LaRance is banking on his "Canadian grapevine," while Manuel will depend on his judo headlock. George Pencheff, Australian ujsst ffimwft-ftfrffi jjQf-q ElLott went all the way. ILLINOIS CAME back fast and set up a score on a long run too.

After the kickoff. with Illinois on its own 32, big Russ Steger pounded through guard for 53 yards, but Pete Elliott outsped him to bring him down from behind on the Michigan 15. It took five plays to score, with Steger going over from the one. IT THEN APPEARED for a time that the Illinois tally was the spark which might bring an upset. The Wolverine offensive bogged down and Eddleman set them back on their own 22 with a quick kick.

But Len Ford made six, Gene Derricotte dashed for seven. Bumps Elliott made 10, and then Chappuis passed to the speedy Elliott. Bumps caught the ball on the Illini 44 and ran to the five before he was brought down. A penalty set the Wolverines back 10 yards, but Henry Fonde went through center like a raging bull and fell flat on his face in the end zone. THAT WAS THE ball game.

Illinois threatened after that, but Michigan always staved off the driving attack of the 194S title-holders. And Michigan stopped Perry Moss' vaunted passing too. Moss' percentage was good, but his successful throws were short ones. The game attracted a crowd of 71,119. Cowboys Down Colorado State GREELEY, Nov.

1 (UP) Wyoming University turned on the power here today to run and pass the Colorado State Bears off the gridiron and rack up a 44 to 14 victory over 5.000 fans in perfect football weather. Wyoming struck on three long scoring plays in the first half to take a 19 to 7 advantage. The Bears came back after the half ind marched 45 yards to score their second touchdown and narrow Wyoming's lead to 19 to 14. The Cowboys apparently got scared at this point and cut loose with a 25-point scoring spree in the fourth quarter that left the Bears beaten and confused. Monaghan's manager, Frank Mc curies.

McKissack plowed over for the touchdown on the next play, and Walker kicked the point that proved to be the game-winner.

TEXAS GOT a touchdown soon after the second period opened, with Tom Landry going across the double-stripe on a two-yard smash. Their followers took heart in the final period as Texas surged down to th goal on a flurry of passes which paid off with Layne throwing a 15-yarder to Byron Gillroy. THAT ALMOST, but not quite, tied up the game. Frank Guess, who had kicked the first extra point, watched in awe as his second went wide and his team went down to its first defeat in seven outings. The victory vaulted SMU into powerful contention for the host's role in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day, a role automatically assigned to the Southwest conference champion.

Rice Wallops Texas Tech HOUSTON, Tex. Nov. 1 (UP) Texas Tech scored first, but Rice Institute monopolized the touchdown parade the rest of the afternoon today and lambasted the hapless Red Raiders from Lubbock mercilessly, 40-7, before 16,000 chilly fans. Freddie Brown passed to Glenn Lewis to the Rice 16 to set up the game's first touchdown.

Montana said he was at sea when the title was declared vacant three months ago after Champion Jackie Paterson of Britain failed to make the weight for a bout with Dado Marino of Honolulu. "As a result, I wasn't able to get a fight with Marino," Montana declared, "but I still should be champion." On Oct. 20 Marino was outpointed by Rinty Monaghan of Ireland in a championship match recognized by the NBA and its foreign affiliates, but still disregarded by New York boxing moguls. Montana said that made the flyweight title still vacant, and described himself as the only former champion still able to put up a title defense.
