The weather was clear. The stadium sod was never faster. Yet, 33,000 spectators viewing Nebraska's Homecoming football show against Indiana, didn't believe the "Black Magic" they saw. They did believe, however, the final score.

That was 21 to 13 with the Gentlemen from Indiana on the long end. For the first time in four starts this season, Coach "Bo" McMillin'a famed Hoosiers jumped into the win column. For the Cornhuskers it was their first defeat of the year and their first Joss before a home crowd since Pitt turned the trick back 4 xSv in 1938. 1 M-mii i Jrtfc.fr!

(UP). Michigan' vaunted defense, bruised but unyielding at critical momenta, held off ever-threatening Northwestern Saturday until Sophomore Tommy Kuzma struck twice with touchdown passes to give Michigan it second straight Big Ten football victory, 14 to 7. Michigan scored first and it scored last but in between a pa- qud Ui itui i vv caicni uoino ton thru, over and around the Wolverines in five tremendous charges. With only five seconds to play, Northwestern reached the 4-yard line and in one last surge Michigan's lltne hurled the ball carriers back to the 20. Midway thru the first period, Michigan stunned the Homecoming crowd of 47,000 persons by marching straight down field for 78 yards and a touchdown.

Northwestern bounced back with a touchdown in the second period and threatened continually thru the third, but in the fourth came Kuzma's second scoring pass. Conjecture Is Futile. 1 Thla struggle of two previously undefeated Western conference giants indicated the futility of pre-game conjecture. Michigan supposedly had little offense. Northwestern'! line was a matter of concern.

Saturday each was almost perfect. In the end, the only difference was Kuzma who had been hailed as Tommy Harmon the second and left the field as Kuzma the first Gains of 26 and 8 yards by Capt Bob Westfall and a 13 yard sprint by Tippy Lockard aided Michigan's first touchdown drive. With second down on Northwestern's 14, Westfall handed the ball to George Celthaml who sent a shovel pass to Kuzma. The play lost 3 yards, but remember it. Kuzma passed 7 yards to Harlin Fraumann and on fourth down, Michigan started what appeared to be the same play as on second down, Westfall to Ceithaml to Kuzma.

Instead of running, how ever, Kuzma flipped it to Fraumann, who stood in the end zone. Bill Melzow placekicked the point. Graham Sets Up Pins. Late in the second period Kuzma's return punt carried out to his own 39 and the Wildcats went to work. Graham did most of the work on this one, lugging the ball 12 yards, then passing 12 to Bob Motl for a first down on the 7.

It took four downs xo get the" ball over, but Graham did it, hurtling the line. Dick Erdllts placekicked the point. Rogers Snares Pass. Kuzma brought back De Corre-vonfs return kick 2 yards to Northwestern's 47 and one the first play passed to Joe Rogers who caught the ball on the 32 and ran into the end zone unmolested. Melzow again, kicked the point.

Martin Pat" Harder, sophomore fullback, led Wisconsin to a 23 to 0 victory over the University of Iowa Saturday giving his school its first Big: Ten conference win this year.

Harder's accomplishments in cluded: A 37 yard placeklck in the first three minutes of play; a first period-touchdown on a 2 yard plunge to climax a drive he sparked from the Iowa 35; recovery of an Iowa fumble on the visitor's 28 in the second period, and a second touch down three plays later. He added two points after touchdown for good measure. The other Wisconsin touchdowns which added up to end Coach Eddie Anderson's two year supremacy over Wisconsin teams was made by Leonard Seelinger in the first period on a 10 yard run. One play previously, Seelinger had snared a 20 yard pass from Tommy Karris. Uses 30 Men.

Harry Stuhldreher used 30 men as Wisconsin showed Itself content to rest on its 23. point lead thru the second half. Anderson had 23 men in the game. Iowa's passing attack, mainly between Touel and Bill Green, gained 68 yards compared to Wisconsin's 20, but costly interceptions by Wisconsin reduced their threat. Superiority of Wisconsin's ground attack was revealed by its record or 18Z yards net in rushing compared to Iowa's net loss of 87 yards.

Green and Halfback Henry voiienweiaer were the only Iowa players who made more yardage than they lost on line plays. P08. WISCONSIN IOWA L.E. Lyons Parksr L.T. Lospfs L.G.

Paced by Andy Tomasic, George Sutch and an alert, fast-charging line, Temple university outplayed Penn State at every turn Saturday to score a 14-0 victory over the Nit-tany Lions and remain among the nation's major undefeated and untied football teams. The Nittany Lions got off to a bad start in the first quarter and never pulled up to even terms with the Owls, who punched over touchdowns in the first and third quarters to thrill an alumni Home coming day crowd of 25,000.

Here's what really happened: The Indiana 8hot-jrun' offense was clicking to perfection. Why is that tag placed on the Hoosiers Well, they've been hot shots on Saturday, then not able to turn a wheel a week later. Hoosiers Boiling. Saturday they weren't, hike warm. They were boiling.

Deception? Clever reverses went for gains at will. Bullet passes off the accurate arm of Billy Hillenbrand, actually the nation's outstanding' sophomore of the year, bit dead to their mark. It looked like magic. And it was magic black magic -b a a every time those Hoosiers gathered up the ball and hugged it to their black jerseys, they went places. What happened to Nebraska? This was supposed to be the test, wasn't it! Nebraska wasn't the co-ordinated team it has been on the two previous Saturdays.

Most of the Huskers were giving all they had, but tho Allen Zikmund sneaked 32 yards on his pet reverse for the first touchdown of the afternoon," Nebrasak didn't appear to have' the stuff for victory. Not Enough Oomph. But thA were trying. Supposed ly, they weren't over-confident. But in the final showdown, Nebraska 'couldn't keep abreast of those fleet invaders.

Here's the touchdown parade: 1. Nebraska, Zikmund in par ticular, made its own break to take an early 6 to 0 lead. With the 15 minutes of the first quarter all but under the bridge, Zikmund snared Charlie Jacoby's pass. He came down to earth at once, but he had the ball and it was Nebraska's on the Indiana 38. The Huskers shifted into the double wing and Dale Bradley tossed a pass to Marv Athey.

But the gain brought only two yards. On the next play Zikmund was off. He snaked around from his end position and took the ball from Vike Francis. His path was blocked for a moment but when things cleared up, Zikmund couldn't have been caught by the fleetest of the fleet He went 36 yards for the score. Francis Disappoints.

Francis playing a very disappointing role thruout, missed the try for point. 2 Midway in the second quarter, the Hoosiers came bombing along. From the time that Lou Saban pulled in Frde Metheny's wobbling pass, the magic was on. -Hillenbrand rifled an aerial to Smith for 12 yards. Doloway faked a pass, then ran for 11 more.

Hillenbrand ran a reverse for 10 additional yards. The going got tougher and the Huskers held twice on their 1-yard line. But the Hoosiers weren't to be denied. After Hillenbrand cut over for the score, Gene White came in and kicked the seventh point Indiana was never behind after the placement. 3 Indiana needed only four and one-half minutes to counter again after the intermission.

Dale Bradley kicked 32 yards to the same, the Inimitable Hillenbrand, who scampered back nine yards to the Nebraska 49. Nifty Catch. Looked to be stopped on the Husker 37, Hillenbrand faded back. Jacoby, a 175 pound cannon ball, had shot on down the field. Hs maneuvered behind Marv Athey and then made a nifty, over-the-shoulder-catch of the pass for a second score.

White kicked goal again. 4 Touchdown No. 3 for Indiana See HUSKERS, Page 4-B. Marquette aerials stop 33-7 Kansas scores on long pass MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UP).

The forward passing of two Halfbacks, jimmy Richardson and Johnny Goodyear, carried Mar quette university to a 33 to 7 victory over the University of Kansas before 13,000 spectators here Saturday night. Richardson completed every one of the five passes he threw. Goodyear Sprinted 75 yards to a touch down after intercepting a pas the longest run of the game. Marquette was held in check during the first quarter but its attack began to function during the second. Three passes and a run by Richardson gave the Hilltoppers their first score.

A few minutes later Goodyear broke loose for his touchdown run. Kansas scored its only touch down on a 49 yard pass from Harlan Altman to Denzel Glbbens in the third period. Marquette made three touch downs in the second half. One was effected by a tricky lateral-for ward pass from Doug Renzel to Bob McCahill to John Harrington. Lineup: POS.

Unbeat en Duke, threatened with its first loss of the season when Colgate took a 1 point lead in the third period, bounded back Saturday to score two more touchdowns and subdue the Red Raiders, 27 to 14, before a crowd of 25,000. Spectacular hero of the Duke victory was Leo Long, sophomore fullback who was turned down at Colgate because he "lacked spirit." Saturday Long paced the Duke attack with plunging gains thru the Colgate line and scored the first touchdown in the firs period when he drove thru from the 4-yard line.
