COLUMBIA, Mo. Missouri of the Big Six conference used the deception of the formation to bewilder Colorado's Buffaloes of the Big Seven, 21 to 6, Saturday on a field of puddles. At times the downpour all but obliterated the gridiron as the Tigers splashed to two touchdowns in the second quarter and another in the third after collecting a safety in the opening period. The Buffaloes, completely buffaloed oy Missouri's harmony of power and bokus-pokus, scored in the final quarter against a host of second and third ZHttfflD (UlffiJ US YARDS 3 5 stringers The victory was me 11-gers' eleventh successive home game triumph.

Despite the soggy field, Missouri started right off with its litt It-Harry Ice, a quarterback, and Sophomore Erwin Pitts, halfback, shattering the Colorado tackles in a 70 yard drive. Ice Fumbles. The ball squirted from Ice's fingers with but 4 yards to go and Hubert Shovlin fell on it for the Buffs. Vent Lockard who shouldered most of Colorado's punting load lost the ball on an attempted kick in the end zone for Missouri's safety. Maurice "Red" Wade, a slippery sophomore, crashed to Missouri's first touchdown in the second.

He spun out of the taking the ball from blocking back Harold Adams, and shot thru tackle for 64 yards and the first score. Another sophomore, Fred Bould-in, played a big part in the second touchdown in the same period by shooting a lateral to Halfback Bob Steuber who skimmed 65 yards over the water like a hydroplane. Runs Back Punt. Diminutive Ice, dripping water from head to toe as it melting under the pace his teammates generated, ran back a punt from Lockard 74 yards and Missouri's third tally. Steuber'e excellent blocking paved his zig-cag course down the field.

A Missouri fumble was instrumental in setting up the only Colorado tally. The Buffaloes recovered 18 yards from the goal line. Sophomore Ted Reilly, a sophomore quarterback, peeled off 14 yards thru tackle and passed to Harvey Click in the end zone for the score. THE HVSKEE3' REVERSES WERE GROUND GAINERS SATURDAY.

Fumbles and blocked punts proved the undoing of the Rabbits and the Indians sloshed over for counters in the second and third periods. Bob Matthews scored both counters on short plunges.

In the second quarter Jack Koenig of State dropped back to punt but was smothered by Indians Francis Hernandes and Tom Blinn. Her-nandes recovered and Matthews dived over for the touchdown. Montana Stale, Colorado Mines tie in snowstorm BOZEMAN. Mont. (INS).

Playing: in a blinding snowstorm, Mon-tant State college and Colorado Mines Saturday battled to a scoreless tie before a small homecoming crowd in a Rocky Mountain conference football game. dock and the latter's manager, Joe Gould, insert their paws into every Louis purse. The signed agreement, binding as long as Louis sticks in his game, guarantees a share to the Braddock-Gould duo. This particular rrrangement was the outgrowth of the deal of almost five years ago in which Braddock, then the title-holder, was matched to take on Max Schmeling in a New York ring the deal vhich blew a tire when Uncle Mike Jacobs squeezed into the picture with his counter-proposal that Braddock ditch the Schmeling business in favor of Louis, the battle scene to be located in Chicago. REST assured, Uncle Mike's head was working.

He already had in his strongbox an ironclad contract giving him an exclusive monopoly of the brown bomber's rinfK activities, whereas Herr Maxie, a rather obstinate soul, was strictly an independent opera tor one who Chiseling Business Carries On refused to bind himself, hand and foot, to any single promoter. When the news broke that Braddock nad repudiated the agreement to risk his title against Schmeling and, instead, had cpn-tracted to take on Louis at Comis-key Park, Chicago, the czars of the Empire state fight commission raved at great length. By way of punishing Braddock, the commish slapped a fine on the man from Jersey, bu the champ of that period and bis manager, Gould, had protected themselves by means of the secret agreement which hooked Louis for a liberal slice of the latter's Chicago pursp and all subsequent ring engagements. Also, one may be reasonably sure that Uncle Mike regularly takes his rut from the Louis earnings. How many others collect a share of Joe's income, is a matter of speculation, but the total un questionably is plentyqtriteH enough to justify a heavy discount of the two and a half-millions the dark man from 'Bama has garnered since his ascent to the throne seat four years ago last June.

PlauL ft wit 9 Cu Shannon F)LKS who have been fretting because of the free substitution rule in football, fearful that the new statute is destined to substantially prolong t-e playing time, apparently have had slight bafia for their worries. Although information came over the wires the other day concerning a Game Not Delayed By New Rule game on the west coast which dragged along nearly three hours, the rule seemingly providing proof it rould be classed as something of a nuisance, the coast incident had its offset in the Ohio State-Missouri struggle of a week go, when the Bucks and the Tigers finished their affair in exactly two hours and 15 minutes. Clyde McBride, veteran Kansas City sport bard, certifies to the accuracy of the report from Ohio, as he was an occupan of the Columbus pressbox and, in his comment, explained that the average game-Unit in previous seasons at Ohio Stat was only five minutes less than the time consumed by the Buckt and Tigers. Wherefore, one may safely say that when any particular game resolves itself into one of those time- killer things, the responsibility squarely belongs on the shoulders of the coaches. Not the rule, but the coaches, will merit the cussing.

JOE LOUIS, the press dispatches have it, was richly rewarded for his artistic job of the other night, when he disposed of one Lou Nova in that sixth-round fist flurry. Yes, the wires tell it that Joe's "piece' of the intake was a cool two Puffing the Squeeze On Champion Joe hundred bucks. Then the adding machines began clicking and the ring historians right soon came up with the giddy version that the brown bomber, during his four-year reign as world champ of the heavyweights, had earned something in the neighborhood of two and a half millions. Extra soft, this fist business, when a negro boy can emerge from an Alabama cotton field, take to swinging padded knuckjes and come up with fortune of more than two million dollars. Sure shot, 'twould be super soft if Joe's cut attained such proportions, but the heck of it is that the same colored boy from 'Bama, dark-complexioned though he is, actually has been bled "white" by dint of a chiseling process which has squeezed his portion until it is only a f-action of his total earnings.

HOW come that the leeches have drained the champion of the greater part of his dough? Well, to 1 egin with, Louis. has two managers One may safely estimate tba the two of 'em retain not less than one-third of Joe's shsre of every purse.

UP.

Fordham's football veterans recovered a game which one of its star spangled sophomores almost lost Saturday. With passes by Steve Filipowicz to Blackie Blumenstock and a 28 yard field, goal by Steve Hudacek all Cotton Bowl campaigners the Rams came from behind to shade Southern Methodist, 16 to 10, before a crowd of 28,500 that almost fell asleep thru the first three quarters but never got a chance to sit down thru the last one. In the first half of that final period, the Texas Mustangs tied the score at 7-7 on a 49 yard forward passing play, and then took a 10-7 lead on Joe Pasqua's 44 yard field goal that was set up on a fumble by Benny "The Fabulous" Babula, sophomore Rams fullback. But in the last eight minutes Filipowicz's long, accurate passes first brought the Rams a 10-10 tie on Hudacek's placement, and then lifted them in front for good. With 38 seconds to go, the fireplug fullback from Kulpmont, dropped back and let fly another pitch.

Blumenstock cut iu behind the 8MU left halfback, roped the ball in on the four yard lin.e and went on over for a scoring play that covered 36 yards. POS. SOUTHERN MfcTlI. FOKDHAM K. Tunnell Rlllnskl L.T.

C. (UP). Duke exploded three touchdowns in the first half Saturday to crush Tennessee 19 to 0 before a homecoming crowd of 48,000 and gain revenge for numerous losses inflicted on the Blue Devils by the Vols in recent years. The defeat one of the worst ever suffered by a Tennessee team was the Vols' first loss in regular season play since 1937 and the defeat was even more crushing than the acort indicated. Duke played beadsup football, making their own breaks and then cashing in on them.

The cry may go up that Duke was lucky to get two of the touchdowns, one of them coming on a fumble by Bobby Cifers, but Duke was wide awake thruout the game and fought for the breaks. Get 14 First Downs. Duke made 14 first downs to Tennessee's five, and three Vol first downs came on penalties. Duke amassed a total gain of 274 yards to Tennessee's 65 even after settling down in the last hair to play Coach Wallace Wade's favorite brand of defensive football. Of that yardage, Duke gained 110 thru the air to Tennessee's 23.

The Blue Devils took the opening kickoff and marched down the field from their own 22 to the Tennessee 12, where a bad pass from center cost a score and Tommy Prothro's attempted field goal missed. The Devils drove back down later with Tom Davis running and passing like an all American instead of a sophomore, and another sophomore, Leo Long, ripping the Tennessee line. Long plunged over from the two-yard line and Kar-rruuin kicked the goal. Recovers Fumble. The second and third touch downs came in the second period.

Duke drove from its SO to 43 before it stalled. Moffat Storer punted from his 40 to Bobby Cifers on the seven. Cifers fumbled and the ball rolled into the end cone where Clyde Redding, a substitute tackle, fell on it for score. With four minutes left in the half, an intercepted pass gave the Blue Devils another touchdown. Storer passed from the 34 to Bob Gant, but Johnny Butler handcuffed all day long tried to intercept it He juggled the ball and speedy Bill Wartmann grabbed It in mid air and ran 23 yards before anyone realized what happened.

1 game that the Huskers simply had too much power, but he was encouraged by the showing of his second string which carried the fight to the Huskers in the last threat which closed out when Wayne Blue intercepted a pass on the Husker 5. There was reason to rejoice in the Husker camp from the same standpoint. Herb von Goetz was the only starting player in the Husker lineup which staved off the Iowans' last touchdown bid. There wasn't any wild celebration in the Husker dressing room after the contest. Howard Debus, who showed brilliant flashes but a tendency to possess those early game "butter-fingers," consoled himself in this way: "That ball must have been slippery even Francis fumbled it." Fred Metheny admitted that it was a little faster and a bit rougher game than he had known in high school, "but, boy, I sure liked it," he said.

Dale Bradley, who scored both of the Husker touchdowns after that swell run of Allen Zik-mund's had set one of them up, received a wire from Lincoln that pleased him no end. It's just as well that Nebraska wasn't opening with Minnesota this year. No One Hurt. Not a single player was injured. The squad leaves Saturday night and arrives home shortly after midnight Only close decision was on a sideline fumble by Debus of a punt, but the officials ruled that he had possession before letting the ball go and that an Iowa Stater touched it last on the field of play.

The Iowans had a slick passing attack which enabled them to outdown the Huskers. The Cyclones rang up 7 out of 8 ta the first half for 62 yards. Bob Caddock, who caught two passes for the Cyclones, is a son of Earl, the ex-heavyweight wrestling champion. Another son, Richard, is a Cyclone tackle. The Huskers only'trled five passes and completed one, Allen Zikmund catching it Huskers used three punters.

Bradley, Blue and Francis, and they averaged 34 yards. Bradley's quick kicking was effective. Cyclones fumbled six times but managed to recover all of them. The Comhuskers gave Biff a two-in-one present. Their two in one victory over Iowa State meant a new consecutive game scoring record for the Biffer.

Previously the Husk-' ers had scored in 21 consecutive games. Twice before Jones coached teams which scored in 21 straight contests. We Have Our fans Too Wfc Ufca Oar tUtaWea CLEANING WOOL -SUITS PL.

After those nine fumbles, probably a record for a Husker team in any game. Games Captain Clarence Heindon said that he had made up his mind what he would do in case the Huskers lost. "I was going right down the line and bust every back in the nose." There's hope for the Nebras- kans.

Major Jones was out of sorts even before the contest started. He had asked for a secret workout here Friday and found the Cyclone team in the stands and the coaches viewing it from the windows. Saturday morning there were no buses at the station to bring; the Huskers to the playing field which necessitated a 23 minute wait. Under the new rules, a student manager is supposed to wipe the wet balls and interchange them with the officials, but Biff decided that he would insist upon the umpire handling the duties to insure as nearly a dry ball for both elevens as possible. So it fell to the iotirf Sheriff1-John Waldorf to officiate with the towel after each down.

The Huskers showed the formation, but it wasn't much of a surprise after the public workout Friday and a long story in Saturday mornings' Des Moines Register, which related that Nebraska would spring some of the fane stuff. It was the good old sing wing that brought both touchdowns, and it was power that set them up. Master Quarter. The Bitter can really call plays. He sent in the directions for that placekick et Pitt last fall and he also called for the play that sent Dale Bradley pumping and whirling for 10 yards and the second Husker touchdown.

The Bethany boy was using his "spradllng" stride which makes it mighty difficult to get him off his feet. Biff made sure that the play would be called, by pulling Vike Francis out of the lineup as he sent Bradley, Metheny and Blue into the He didn't want a placekick despite the fact it was fourth down and five. The contest was run off in two hours and ten minutes, which is faster than last year's game, according to Reeves Peters, Big Six commissioner of. officials. Besides showing the for the first time and a bunch of promising sophomores, Wayne Blue was unveiled as a punter.

He did right well, too, booting twice for 35 and el yards. Students TeN Him. They were second guessing Iowa State's quarterbacking in that first period when, with the Huskers on the run, and in offensive territory, the Cyclones decided to quick-kick on second down.
