And a Pitt publicity release reveals that kicking is the only department in which Pittsburgh has improved.

Alumni or team?" THEN AND NOW. Frank McCormick, athletic director at Minnesota, was one time a pro football player with Akron, back in the days when Jim Thorpe, Friz Pollard, Joe Guyon and Pete Calac were picking up a weekly pay check and quite a few bruises in the same business. McCormick was cleaning out a drawer in his desk he found a book of plays which the Akron team had used. "Golly." he were amateurish. Particularly the forward pass plays.

Why there isn't a high school team in the land that would use those plays today. There was practically no deception and all we tried to do was to get a re-wiv'er' as far down the fi possible and then throw to him, There was no spot passing and no conceived protection for passers. Every pro team depended upon a strong running game and passing was just a sideline." SIX MAN LINE. Bob Zuppke may propose a rule to the National Collegiate rules committee to make the six man defensive line obligatory in football. Zuppke contends aiong with the other coaches, especially those of small midwestern colleges, that defensive setups must- be standardized to prevent football from becoming a bore to the players and the spectators.

"As it is now," Zup says, "you've got to teach two thirds of your plays four or five times. You've got to work out the play and the blocking assignments for a four man line, change the assignments for a six man line and then devise the same play to work against a seven man line."

NEW YORK. (UP). With' the rain beating in their faces and their feet mired in mud, nn underdog Army football team made a gallant stand in the dying seconds of the game Satur-day and earned a scoreless tie with Notre Dame before 76,000 at Yankee stadium. The Irish from South Bend, held in check.most of the way and badly outplayed at times, came on with a rush as the clock ticked awny the precious seconds of the final period. The great crowd that gathered in the rain and gloom to see this historic gridiron rivaly Was on its feet as Notre Dame took the ball on the Army 46 yard line with two minutes to go and started its best bid for victory.

Dippy Evans, born In the shad-. ows of Notre Dame's spires, and Steve Juzwik took over the task of trying to bring about an Irish victory. Juzwik broke thru the line, splashing water like a hippopotamus, and reached the Army 38 yard line before he was downed. Evans whirled off tackle, slipped, regained his feet and ran to the 23. Juzwik slashed the Army line again for five yards.

Can't Get Pass Off. The clock was moving against the Irish however, and at this stage there was time for only play seven seconds. Three flankers moved out to the right side of the Notre Dame line and Evans was back. He got a bad pass from center that went over his head, but he whirled, picked up the ball and tried to run. A swarm of Army tacklers downed him and the game was over.

Rain fell during most of the game and made the ball' slick and treacherous. Hank Mazur, halfback who played brilliantly for 60 minutes, helped Army out of many holes by making beautiful punts with a soggy, heavy ball. The rain also handicapped Angelo Bertelli, Notre Dame's classy passer, and toward the end of the game the ish had given up all attempts to move thru the air and were hacking way at the Army line. Army 'made a great bid for a touchdown early in the second period, but an offside penalty stopped the Cadets' rally and Notre Dame took the ball on downs. Mazur, Johnny Hatch and Ralph Hill carried the ball down to the Notre Dame 17.

Then Hill got off a sure-footed run in the mud that put the ball on the Notre Dame 10. There the Irish dug in, took the ball and Dippy Evans punted out of danger. B'arly in the third period it looked as tho the Notre Dame second team was going to turn the trick. Bill Earley and Creighton Miller, second string backs for the Irish, began to find holes in the Army line and smashed their way down to the Army 27 yard line. With fourth down and two yards to go, Miller hurled himself off tackle in an attempt to make it, but he was inches short and the Army took the ball.

Midway thru the final period Notre Dame braced on its own 25 yard line, threw back Mazyr's at-tepipt to make the needed yardage on fourth down and took the ball. tin, Indian substitute end, made 40 yards to hit Santa Clara's 15 stripe.

Two deadshot passes from the talented fingers of Halfback Tom Davis, tied into deft catches by Steve Lach and Bob Gantt, were the entire difference. If Tech's passing ace, little Johnny Bosch, had not been sidelined by a first quarter injury it might easily have been much closer.

K-State outplayed Nebraska i Zeleznak is man of hour BY WALTER E. DOBBINS. MANHATTAN, Kas "Kansas State simply outplayed and outcharged us," declared Husk-er mentor Biff Jones, who. appeared more concerned over the condition of End Jerry Kathol than the outcome of Saturday's mud battle here on Ahearn Field. The junior end from Harting- ton suffered a broken -leg in a pileup with Mike Zeleznak, in which the Kansas Stalj boy was also hurt.

It was thought at first to be a compound fracture, but later was reported rfot so serious. Dr. Earl N. Deppen, team physician, set the bone and put it in a cast, there being no need for an operation. Brought on Train.

Kathol was being brought back on the train with the team. He will be laid up a week or so, then will be able to get around on crutches. "This boy Zeleznak was a great runningback and Wilkins' plunging hurt us a lot. Hancock, it seemed to me, was Adams' best lineman," the Biffer added, You. could almost hear a pin drop in the Nebraska dressing-room as the Huskers scraped off the mud and took their showers.

Defeat, altho bitter, however, was almost forgotten over the injury to Kathol. By contrast the Kansas State quarters fairly vibrated with delirium. Mike Zeleznak's name was on everyone's lips. He was the hero. He was the boy who cracked the Husker line wide open scampering to both touchdowns.

"It Was Our Turn." "I guess it was about our turn," declared Hobbs Adams, Wildcat mentor. "But how about Kathol?" When told of the Husker player's-injury and that Jerry would be out the rest of the season, Adams said, "That's awfully tough on the boy and on Biff, too. "But, say, didn't old Jug go to town?" Adams was referring of course to Kansas State's man of the hour Mike Zeleznak. "That boy found himself today. And our line played great bail too.

Stimulate Wildcats. "We needed a victory and it should be a stimulant to our "squad. Biff has a fine team and we're proud to be able to come out. on top." Nebraska used 24 men in a vain effort to stem the Wildcat surge. Hbbbs Adams called upon 21 men.

The field was ankle deep in mud at the end, even worse than It looked from the press Fortunately the HuskeTS came thru without any injuries save the one to Kathol, which may end the Husker wing man's career. Nebraska gained some solace by outdowning the Wildcats, 9 to 5, but except for their first period assault never had a chance to get a sustained drive under way. Zik Fumbles.

A trio of Wildcats clawed thru the Nebraska line to rush him badly, but he got the throw off and the play gained 9 yards to the Nebraska 37-yard stripe. "(Staff photos.) I 1 PALO ALTO, Calif. (INS). Stanford's power and stout goal line defenses outshadowed a strong, Santa Clara passing attaey Saturday to give the Indians a brilliants to 7 triumph before a throng of 65,000 in Stanford stadium. An irresistible 74 yard drive culminated in Stanford's final tally with two minutes to go in the third quarter.

The Indians, in 12 plays, marched from their own 16-yard stripe to the Santa Clara 1-foot mark where all-American Frankie Albert dived over the center of the line to a touchdown on a quarterback sneak. The Indians withstood three powerful Santa Clara offensives, holding twice within their own 5-yard mark in the fourth quarter to stop the Broncos in their tracks. Stanford came back and on a dazzling pass, Albert to Bob Mas- rush him when he Michigan bottles up Illini, 20-0 Wcslfall, Kuziua lead Wolverines CHAMPAIGN, IlL (UP). Michigan's superior and versatile offense, spearheaded by the leg-sturdy Bob Westfall and Tom Kuzma, swept thru a defenseless Illinois eleven Saturday for its third Western conference football triumph, 20 to 0, before 30,000 solemn homecomers. Operating at full efficiency after its loss to Minnesota last week, the Michigan team riddled the Illini with a powerized ground game, scoring touchdowns in the first, second and fourth periods.

Michigan Power. Michigan spurned the use of deception in its scoring drives, relying mainly upon the explosive spinners inside the guards by Capt. Westfall and smashes off the tackles and flanks by the Sophomore Kuzma, who almost marred his running brilliance with an epidemic of fumbles in the second half. Michigan wasted neither time nor motion in blasting its first touchdown. In the opening period Illinois had turned back an initial drive of 41 yards to its own 14, and had kicked out to its 47.

Kuzma skirted end for 22 yards, Westfall added 8 over center, and then Kuzma legged it around left end, bullying his way past two Illini tackles to complete the 16 yards for a score. Midway in the second period Jimmy Smith kicked out to the Illinois 31 and in five plays West-fall plunged' less than a yard for the touchdown. Melzow missed the conversion, and Michigan led 13 to 0. Michigan's third touchdown grew out of Don Griffin's fumble on his own 40 after six minutes of the fourth period. In the subsequent drive Westfall accounted for 22 yards, the final 17 of which he negotiated on a bolt thru the center of Illinois line untouched.

Illini Fooled. The Illini, confounding themselves with Coach Bob Zuppke' Intricate maneuvers, threatened late in the game when Liz Astroth uncorked a 41 yard pass to Griffin who was felled on the 17. Another Astroth pass sifted thru Griffin's fingers In the end zone, and Michigan took over shortly before the final gun. liUTCII LEYV, senior guard, is one reason why Minnesota's powerful Golden Gophrrs are top heavy favorites to tromp over Nebraska Saturday when the two schools renew their grid rivalry at Minneapolis. line Cowboys top Creighton in last 4 minutes Faubion takes over, 13 to 6 STILLWATER, Okla.

UP). Jack Faubion powered his Oklahoma Aggie teammates to a 13 to 6 win over Creighton's Blue Jays Saturday after entering the game storybook fashion with only four minutes to go. Playing a hunch as it seemed that his Cowboys couldn't unsnarl the 6 to 6 knot that had been hanging since the half, Coach Jim Lookabaugh beckoned to the big fullback who's had only a fair season. Cowboy End George Darrow had just recovered a fumble by Bill Brock on the Creighton 30 and Al Scanland fired Darrow a sudden pass for a first down on the visitors' 20. Faubion Takes Over.

Faubion, with the only mud-free jersey on the field, hit the line repeatedly for 3 to. 6 yards at. a clip and went booming over from the 1 yard stripe with only am in-' ute and half to play. Lee Younger went back in to kick, making it good, while Faubion marched out again to the plaudits of the crowd of 4,000. Scanland tallied the Cowboys' first six points in the second quarter to tie the score, hitting right tackle at the 11, cutting back sharply and slicing over for the touchdown.

Jfick Wurtz' placement went wide. Creighton's tally came earlier in the second as big Bill Brock intercepted Marvin Salmon's pass and dashed 80 yards, across the goal line. POS CRKKiHTON I. Bt.vln I. T.

Nebraska compiled only 88 yards from scrimmage and 48 yards were recorded in the first period. Their net by rushing showed only 58 yards. This figure plus the 62 yards gained on passes gave the Huskers a net of 120 for the 60 minutes of play. Over on Kansas State's side of the ledger, the Wildcats showed a net of 221 yards. Kansas State tried only one pass and it was intercepted.

Most of the Wildcat yardage was compiled over Nebraska's left side. Time and again Zeleznak was thru on a quick opening play while the Husker forwards were the victims of "mousetrap" blocking. Zeleznak, who paid no attention to the murky field, was a quick starter and the best mudder on the field. It was remarkable that neither team fumbled often. In fact ajl three misplays were charged against the Huskers, altho they recovered two of them.

The Huskers left Manhattan at 11:50 and arrived in Lincoln early Sunday morning. Tulanc roars to 34-17 triumph over Vandcrhilt NASHVILLE. Tenn. IT).

Cornell scored 17 points. the arms of Bob Motl, swift pass grubbing end.

Motl dashed right down the field with the injured Smith gamely in pursuit. But the play was called 'back and Northwestern penalized 15 yards for an illegal formation. Smith stayed in there for a few minutes, playing a strange role of protecting one of the sophomore heroes of the game Bill Garnaas as he dropped back to a kicking assignment which Smith had been using to lead the conference. Taken to Hospital. He carried the ball futilely a couple of times, hobbling thru' his favorite plays outside the tackles.

Then, in a pileup, Smith's knee buckled. They gently lifted him UP and actually dragged him from the field with both legs limp. On the sidelines, they placed him on a stretcher and carried him to the university hospital. He heard the final score, a glorious win for an injury riddled ball club. But he fortunately didn't hear the drone of the press box announcer, coldly reading individual game statistics -I'Smith 2 yards in two tries, or an average of, 1 yard.

The tragic spectre of Bruce Smith, one of Minnesota's all-time backfield greats, trying to help stop Northwestern's challenging Wildcats with a crippled knee, took some of the edge from the Golden Gophers' 8 to 7 homecoming triumph Saturday.

Then, in the second period, when Northwestern finally got out of the dungeon, perked at daylight and started bidding for a piece of Minnesota territory, Bruce persuaded Coach Ber-nie Bierman to let him test his luck. This came on dual substitution right after Coach Lynn Waldorf sent In the prize Cat sophomore Otto Graham to begin pitching forward passes. Smith limped in and almost became the goat of the ball game.

Northwestern sensed the Minnesota captain's slow condition. The sensational Graham, on fake, whirled bac.k and shot the pigskin right over Smith outstretched hands, 5 -yards into Jo Ann.
