(Pictures on pag porta.) Wisconsin's Badgers softened Tip the armor plate of the Great Lakes Sailors yesterday on Soldiers field and then skimmed sensationally over th turf to a 13 to 7 triumph beforo 30,000. Battered to a standstill by the bat- tie wagons for half the struggle and additionally dazed by a Bluejacket touchdown pass midway in the opening quarter, the undefeated Cardinal clad collegians struck suddenly as well as decisively in the third period. They hit with leg power, first with the irrepressible sophomore. Elroy The Ghost Hirsch who left 11 dizzy Sailors in his wake while he cruised for 62 yards to the enemy goal and then with Jack Wink who reeled off nothing less than 101 yards to nail down the Badgers' victory margin. Badger Defense Is Okay.

Whatever doubt there might havs been about Wisconsin's defense despite its victories over Camp Grant, Marquette, and Missouri and its 7 ta 7 tie with Notre Dame was sent fading into thin air which was where the Sailor hopes went eventually. With Bruce Smith, the ex-Gopher, either racing around with the ball or pitching it thru space, the Bluejackets never ceased to be dangerous, but when the pinches came, excepting th touchdown pass that seemingly caught them off watch, the Badgers blasted whatever offensive maneuvers the enemy offered. The first few minutes of battling apparently were devoted to feeling; out tactics. On the opening play alter Wisconsin's' kickoff. Smith cut loos impressively with a 15 yard dash thru his right tackle to midfield.

but an instant later he attempted to pass and the Badgers were prepared. Dav Schreiner, who spent a large part of the afternoon wrapping his arms around enemy ball carriers, broke thru and nailed him, forcing the navy, to punt. The Sailors Strike. Unable to gain. Bob Baumann punted, Hugh McCullough carrying the ball up to the navy's 27 yard line.

Bob Sweiger, another ex -Gopher, swung thru for 8 yards and then the crash came with Smith's pass that Fred Preston snared in midfield and lugged over the Badger goal. Bob Nelson place kicked for the extra wasn't long before the Sailors had built up another load of pressur against the Badgers.

conquerors of Kansas, Northwestern, Minnesota, and 2Xichigan, this afternoon. Notre Dame gave a convincing demonstration of its long standing reputation as football's giant killer by the previously undefeated team from the Naval Preflight school at Iowa Gty, 28 to 0. The score, impressive as It was, hardly represented the superiority the Irish today. They were stopped twice inside the 5 yard line in the second quarter, once when a fumble bounded over the end zone for an automatic touchback and again by the gun which, ended the half. A fourth period touchdown was canceled when the ball was called back and Notre Dame penalized for clipping.

Biennan's Worst Defeat, Notre Dame not only halted the march of the Iowa Cadets toward an undefeated season, it administered the worst defeat ever suffered by a Bier-man coached eleven since the former leader of the Minnesota Gophers came into the middle west 10 years ago. It was on this same field that Lieut. CoL Bierman received his most onesided previous setback. That was In 1338 when the Irish whipped the Gophers. 19 to 0.

The Seahawks came up to this game equipped with a line that outplayed every forward combination In path. It had backs who had distinguished themselves in college and professional football. But it was Notre Dame that ha the better line, the harder running backs, the expert passer. There were seven sophomores in the Irish lineup when they stunned the Cadets with two touchdowns in less than two minutes in the second quarter. To the crowd of 30,000, Notre Dame's performance was so impressive it seemed unbelievable, something like your first look at the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, or the Chicago Bears.

The young men from Iowa, who soon will be playing a greater game for more important stakes, were having trouble no end holding in check a Notre Dame lineup comprised of second and third string players in the closing moments, Bertelli's Bombs Strike. The Naval unit had no anti-aircraft puns that could fight off the attack of Notre Dame's Angelo Bertelli. He (Continued on page 6, column 2.1 lllini Guard Hurt IOWA CITY. Ia-, Oct. 17 VP).

The Hawkeyes proved obdurate for three downs, then Don Griffin hammered thru their left tackle for the touchdown. McCarthy's try for the extra point was blocked by Bob Lauterbach, Iowa senior center. With little more than two minutes remaining, the Hawkeyes began a parade which threatened to duplicate the dramatic finishes that distinguished the great Iowa team of 1939.

Time was a-wasting, and it was obvious that passing was the Iowans' only hope. Farmer, who had previously completed 21 of 51 pitching attempts in Iowa's first four games, had not had a very happy afternoon. At least three of his efforts were dropped by receivers, while another was blocked. In the first half, he connected on none of four. Illinois, Continued on page 5, column 6.

Chteaco Tribune Press Service. Columbus, On Oct, 17. Ohio State's Buckeyes, showing becoming indifference to their local reputation as the nation's No. 1 football aggregation, this afternoon demonstrated humane restraint by making only one touchdown, a period as they toyed with Purdue's Boilermakers for a 26 to 0 triumph. A crowd of 45,943, lured perhaps by Purdue's 7 to 6 conquest of Northwestern a week ago, attended the romp.

Since it was purely an Ohio crowd, the turnout was well satisfied by the onesided display. It was also a good show for relatives of John Andretich, Boilermaker half back. John was doped to lead the Purdue attack. He did this very thing by making the Boilermakers' only first down, on a 13 yard sprint in the seventh minute of the second half. The Buckeyes, by the way, made 22 first downs.

Fekete Scores Twice. The first two Ohio State touchdowns were made by Gene Fekete, Buckeye sophomore full back sensation, in the first two periods. He failed to add the points from placement. The third period touchdown was made by Paul Sarringhaus, junior back from Hamilton, who was a menace all the time he was in there. After this touchdown Fekete managed to get one over the bars.

The fourth quarter touchdown was made by George Slusser, a sophomore from Massillon, O. Bob Frye kicked the point on a second try, made possible by a Purdue off side. We have resolved to say as little about Purdue as possible. It is perhaps kinder to put down the Buckeyes' defense was magnificent, superb, ironclad and air tight, rather than to hiss that Purdue's offense was not visible to the naked eye, or that it was aimless, befuddled, nonplussed and squelched at every turn on such rare occasions as the ball was obtained on a punt or a fumble. After all, they are all fine boys, playing for nothing but the glory of the Old Gold and Black.

17. University of Illinois Fighting lllini, surprise conquerors of Minnesota last Saturday, are still on the march. On this summery afternoon, they maintained their place among the nation's undefeated teams by defeating Iowa's Hawkeyes, 12 to 7, before a crowd of 26,500 in Iowa stadium. It was the mini's fourth triumph of the season, their second conference victory, and the fourth successive game in which they have not been scored on from scrimmage. It also marked the first time since 1927 that an Illinois eleven has been able to defeat Iowa.

The spectators came, ready for a right smart game of football, and they were not disappointed. They saw the lllini drive down to an unsuccessful field goal attempt within the first nine plays, and then come back to give another demonstration of the speed and alertness of their forwards, such as confounded Minnesota last week. Agase Blocks a Punt. Alex Agase, the Evanston, 111., guard, who was credited with two touchdowns in the Gopher upset, blocked a punt by Iowa's Tom Farmer, and Left Tackle John Genis pursued the opportunity by recovering on the Hawkeye 4 yard line. Then Full Back Tony Butkovtch drove over for the touchdown.

Jim McCarthy, conference golf champion and left end, sliced his try for the extra point. Illinois continued to threaten into the second quarter, in which was essayed the same double-lateral play that had accounted for one of the touchdowns against Minnesota Quarter Back Ray Florek flipped the ball to Butkovich, who then tried to pass to Left Half Back Dick The ball never reached Good. Dick Hoer-nor, Iowa's 198 pound sophomore full back, came rushing up to snatch it on his own 47 yard line and then sprinted the remaining 53 yards for Iowa's only score of the day. Farmer's successful kick for the point gave Iowa 7 to. 6 margin which endured until the 12th minute of the third Smith Makes Leaping Catch.

Beginning this third period on the Iowa 47 yard line, the lllini, paced by BY WILFRID SMITH. IChieaco Tribune Press Service. Ann Arbor, Oct. 17. Michigan used its power and speed with devastating deception this afternoon to deliver a 34 to 16 knockout to the title hopes of Northwestern's Wildcats.

The Wolverine regulars protected their goal line until the final period and never were hard pressed as they won the first of their five Western conference games. Big Bob Wiese, the Michigan sophomore full back, riddled the Wildcats' line, and Don Robinson and Paul White, the starting half backs supported later by Tom Kuzma, who this afternoon made his belated 1942 debut sprinted around the Wildcat ends or slashed outside of the tackles. On defense the Michigan front line defenders, led by Ihe brilliant charges of Julius Franks and Al Wistert, held Northwestern to a net of 26 yards by rushing. Wildcats Are Outclassed. Capt.

George Ceithaml, Michigan's field general, used the striking power at his disposal with smooth manipulation so that the Wildcat defenders again and again were caught out of position, cut down by perfectly timed blocks, and all but demoralized during three periods of the battle. That this game wasn't an overwhelming rout was due solely to the spirit of the Northwestern men and the inspired passing of Otto Graham. Trailing, 34 to 3, and humiliated by the ease of Michigan's progress in its ground maneuvers, Graham and his mates rallied in the final minutes to cross Michigan's goal twice by forward passing. In the course of this belated attack, Graham completed nine of 10 pass attemptsJ-the first four were completed in rapid succession to send Lynne McNutt scooting across the Wolverine goal line. Then Graham added four more to his string before he missed, and came back with a screen pass to Nick Vodick on which the Wildcat half back raced 31 yards for Northwestern's second touchdown.

May Be Pass Record. Graham tried 29 passes Don Buff-mire threw one pass early in the third quarter! and he completed 20 of them for a net gain of 295 yards. Graham's passing probably set W. L. T.
