BY HOWARD BARRY. IChieaa-o Tribune Press Serriee-J (Picture on page 3, Sport.) Champaign, 111, Oct. 26. Notr Dame's football team showed class, power, and precision in driving to a 26 to 0 victory over Illinois today before a homecoming crowd of which gathered under perfect weather conditions in Memorial stadium. With Bob Saggau whipping across long, low spiral passes that frt sheer works of art and with Stev Juzwik tramping like a warhorse on his unswerving 45 degree, slants off tackle, the Irish first string eleven performed well nigh flawlessly during the 20 minutes or so it spent on the field.

On one occasion in the second quarter, Illinois rallied with excellent courage and stopped Notre Dam after the Irish had made a first down, on the 2 yard line. That was the only time, however, that the Notre Dam regulars didn't seem to know exactly what was going to happen. In their other advances they performed as tho they were going smoothly thru some well rehearsed vaudeville act that required speed, timing, and confidence. Sub Score First. A few minutes after Notre Dame's second team had softened up th Illini by marching fifty-one yards and scoring on Owen Evans pass to Steve Bagarus, the first string Irish outfit took the field.

This was Just before the end of the first quarter. At that time the ball was on th Illinois 46 yard line. Immediately Notre Dame struck, scoring in threw plays. Milt Piepul hit center for four yards and Steve Juzwik went off left tackle for thirteen yards to the 23. Then Saggau threw the first cf his magnificent passes for a touchdown.

Maneuvering with perfect poise while the Illini forwards charged in on him, he let go a throw that Juzwik took with perfect timing just as he reached the goal line. Piepul kicked goal, and Notre Dame led. 13 to 0. The third Notre Dame touchdown was performed in equally crisp fashion, later in the same quarter. Taking the ball on their own 47 yard line after a punt exchange, the Irish scored in four plays.

Juzwik ran left tackle for nine yards. Saggau whipped a pass to John O'Brien on th Illinois 17 yard line and followed sia rVo I MeMIllla Indiana. BY IRVING VAUGHAN. Picture on page 3, Sport.) Northwestern's Wildcats turned suddenly from gentle tabbies into their real ferocious selves yesterday to chatter an Indiana university eleven which had victory Sn Its grasp. Trailing.

7 to 6. and on the defensive not of the time, the Wildcats went on the prowl In the final quarter to register two lightning stroke touchdowns which crushed the running and pass throwing Hoosiers, 20 to 7, before 40.000 In Dyche stadium. For the first time this season, Northwestern encountered a line not easily penetrated. The Wildcats also found that the Hoosier assault, whether on the ground or In the air, couldn't be held off as were the attacks launched at them by Syracuse, Ohio Slate and Wisconsin. But even with all this.

Including the deadly passing of Hal Hursh going against them, the Wildcats eventually found themselves and staged five minutes of dazzling play in the fourth period to make the touchdowns that kept them unwrapped as Big Nine title aspirants.

Eight minutes of the first quarter had elapsed with Notre Dame on the Illini's 6 yard line, third down and four to go. The ball was snapped back from (X) to Owen Evans, sophomore left half from Riley High, South Bend, who faded back and passed low and hard (dotted line) to Steve Bagarus, a junior right half back from Washington High, South Bend. Bagarus had delayed his start to mask the play, then caught the Illini defenders off guard by dashing (solid line) to the Illinois goal line, turning and making a brilliant catch of the ball off his shoe tops. Cliff Peterson, Illinois half back, came over too late to break up the play.

If hlraco Tribune Preai Service. 1 (Picture on page 3, Sport.) Ann Arbor, Oct. 26 Michigan's Wolverines today again played their famed Victors' march, with special arrangements by Tom Harmon, by trouncing Pennsylvania's previously well regarded Quakers, 14 to 0, in the presence of 59,913. The victory was the fifth straight of the season for the Maize and Blue, broke the all time deadlock between the two at nine decisions to eight and sent Penn home with its first defeat in four appearances in this 1940 campaign.

If you will remember, there has been a casual mention or three about the anticipated personal battle between the aforesaid Harmon and Penn's Frank Reagan. Sad to relate to Quaker adherents. Master Reagan spent a very unhappy 51 minutes this otherwise bright 'afternoon. For that was all the duty he contributed in trying to match his spectacular performance of last year's battle, in Philadelphia. Tom Stars as UstiaL On the other hand, Gary's Harmon had another fancy afternoon, making eight of the Wolverines' points and pitching for the ether six.

Thomas was very much in, evidence for the entire 60 minutes, and at the end he was still romping about, touching off his day's work as the gun sounded with a twenty-six yard toss to Ed Frutig, who made an elegant catch of same on the Penn 20 yard stripe. In the tenth minute of the first period, Harmon, following a recovery of a Quaker fumble, accepted a lateral with another to Juzwxk en the 3.

Some day the Sphinx will talk, the tide will stand still and the University of Chicago will restore intercollegiate football. Something akin to those phenomena occurred in Ross-Ade stadium today when Wisconsin, trailing 13 to 0 with only six minutes to play, roared back to the most dramatic victory your correspondent ever has seen. The score was 14 to 13. You have heard of teams pulling a game out of the fire. Well, the Badgers yanked one out of the ashes for their first Big Nine victory since 1938.

Wisconsin's second touchdown, which tied the score at 13 all, was made at the crack of the final gun. Accomplished in Overtime. Time was up, but the outcome of this historic battle still hung in the balance. Robert Ray, Wisconsin's substitute full back, was called upon in this extraordinary setting to try for the point that would win the game or send his teammates home with a tie. He became the whole cheese of America's Dairyland by booting the ball squarely between the uprights for the precious point.

The 22,000 fans, who had watched a superior Purdue team take a 13 to 0 lead early In the fourth quarter after being held scoreless for three periods, presented a striking picture in contrasts. Wisconsin adherents leaped on their seats and screamed hysterically in one another's ears. Purdue supporters, who numbered hundreds of alumni who were back for homecoming, were stunned at the celerity and ferocity of the Badgers' attack. The Old Gold and Black players, who dominated the game from beginning until six seconds before the end, were too dazed to realize what had happened. Should He Have runted? Questionable judgment by the Pur placed Piepul.

Cornell speed and resourcefulness shackled Ohio State power this afternoon after a first quarter march, and the Big Red from far above Cayuga's waters moved smoothly to its 15th victory in two years. Cornell matched the Buckeyes' touchdown before the half ended, and then, in response to the roaring encouragement of Ithaca's largest football throng, 33,500, struck twice in the final quarter to win, 21 to 7, for the second consecutive year. Thus Cornell's mighty men not only gave the Buckeyes their worst beating since Michigan won by three touchdowns in 1938, but joined Notre Dame and Southern California in the group of nonconference foes which have swept recent series with the Buckeyes. Ohio State's collapse fitted an all too familiar pattern and one remembered by Cornell's veterans who came from behind last year to win, 23 to 14. Today Cornell again was down 7 points on Ohio State's 89 yard drive, during which the Buckeyes plunged to six consecutive first downs.

Jim Langhurst, battering full back, crashed across the goal from Cornell's 1 yard line. Ohio State led, 7 to 0, when Don Scott place kicked the point. Twelve minutes and 40 seconds of the opening quarter had been played.

This, however, was the Buckeyes' complete offense. Cornell was dangerous at all times and from any position on the field. Her alert men, including Capt.

26. Minnesota's Gophers today kept their promise to pour it on Iowa as a reprisal for the Hawkeyes' brash 13 to 9 victory a year ago. The pouring process, with George Franck of Davenport, doing most of the pouring, took the form of a 34 to 6 Gopher rout before 62.991, largest homecoming crowd in Minnesota Franck made the first four of the Gophers' five touchdowns, after the Minnesotans had spotted the Hawkeyes a first period touchdown by Bill Green. Franck's first two touchdowns were made in the second period on twenty-nine and forty-four yard passes from his tabulating pal, Bruce Smith, and then, to show his versatility, the Davenport speedster went in for bone crushing for his third touchdown in the third period. The fourth also was made on a crack at the line at the outset of the final quarter.

Paschka Kicks 3 Times. Gordon Paschka converted the points after the first three Franck touchdowns. The other touchdown and the other point were made in the fourth period by Ed Steinbauer. Minnesota's great power machine was slow in starting, but once it started functioning it was just too bad for the game but inadequate lads from Iowa City. At the outset the Gophers were beset by fumbles and also lost large chunks of yardage on fouls.

When they got going, they quit fumbling and the officials were called upon to do little horn tooting. 'Minnesota, which had not tried a forward pass in its last seven quarters of play prior to today's match, cut loose with eight tries today, completing two, those Smith to Franck twin passes for the first two touchdowns. In the ten minutes of the game before Iowa scored, the Hawkeyes thrust of their own In the same quarter to take the 7 to 6 lead which appeared to have the Wildcats doomed until the rousing finish. Hahnenstein performed double duty during those last five minutes. He broke up the last of the Hoosiers' rr.ar.y threats by stealing one of Hursh's passes and lugging the ball to the Purple's 42 yard line.

Northwestern went on to victory from there, aided in the drive by a 39 yard pass to AI Butherus by Hahnenstein. The other touchdown came soon after, Alf blocking a punt and Jim Smith picking it up for a short trip to the Hoosier goal. A Fumble Saves Wildcats. Soon after the initial kickoff the Koosiers revealed themselves as toirh customers, but they didn't become a real threat until the Wildcats erred. While headed out toward his left tackle, Hahnenstein fumbled and E.

EucLnski captured the ball for Indiana with the Northwestern goal only fifteen yards away. But the Hoosiers returned the compliment. In their first effort, Ray Dumke fumbled as he charged thru his right tackle and Chambers recovered on the Cats 12 yard line. Soper Immediately punted out of bounds on the Hosiers' 26. to clear up the only menace developed in the first quarter.

The Wildcats charged with dtadly accuracy as soon as the second quarter got under way. Clawson took ever at full back and on the first riay made two yards. Hahnenstein maneuvered as if an end run was his plaru but suddenly halted and p-tched a twenty yard pass to Chambers. He hesitated long enough to perrr.it Jim Smith to do a bit of blocking and then sprinted to the Koosicrs 9 yard line where he was nudged out of bounds. Hahnenstein stepped seven yards around his right end and Clawson dove over for the touchdown, but his kick for the extra point was wide.

On fourth down with the ball on Purdue's 35 yard line, he chose to call a running play rather than to punt. Brock was stopped without gain and Wisconsin took possession of the ball with only six seconds left to play. This was the break for which the Badgers had been waiting. There was only one thing to do and John Ten-nan did H. He whipped a forward pass to Ray Kreick, an end, who was uncovered near the east side lines and Kreick hugged the chalk line until he planted the ball over the goal line just as the.

gun went off, ending the game. The final result was a sorry finish to what might have been an impressive triumph for Purdue. The Boilermakers today were the better team in everything except the score, which, of course is an item of some importance. They made 13 first downs to Wisconsin's six and 265 yards from scrimmage against Wisconsin's 79. Three Quarters Scoreless.

Perhaps it was only justice prevailing, after all, because the Badgers have lost their share of games the last two years in which they out-statisticked their rivals by wide margins. All the scoring In this sensational ball game took place in the last quarter. Purdue had two or three opportunities to score in th first half, Continued on page 4, column 2. utes in the last quarter. In scoring their final touchdown, the Notre Dame regulars went from their own, 36 yard line to the goal in six pys.

Saggau sailed a pass Bob Dove, who was brought down on the Illini 43. Saggau then ran his right end for five after which Juzwik charged, off his left tackle for twenty-one to the Illinois 16. After an incomplete pass, Juzwik took the ball again and stamped the remaining sixteen yards to the goal. O'Brien's kick was good. On a sally toward the goal a few minutes previously, the Saggau-to-Juzwik passing play had worked for; a touchdown from the 40 yard line, but the play was called back because both teams were offside.
