BY EDWARD BURNS. (Picture on' page 3, Sport:) Kansas State, a Big Six team which calls itself the Wildcats and waves purple pennants like Northwestern, scarcely showed any further similitude with the Evanston folks on the basis of the outcome of yesterday's football match before 40,000 in Dyche stadium. Kansas State was the first to score, but when it was all over and the rain pouring most dismally, the score was added up to Northwestern. 51; Kansas State. 3.

The Evanston Wildcats, who used 50 taltnted young men in their first football enterprise of the season, seemed to have just about everything except a Cair for booting points after touchdowns. They missed five and tho there was no sorrow over the loss of five points in a 51 to 3 ball Same, some observed that five points might be nice come competition with Wisconsin. Michigan. Ohio State. Minnesota.

Indiana, Notre Dame, and Illinois. Graham Ha Busy Day. Otto Graham, sophomore left half back from Waukegan. was one of the busiest of the 50 Evanston Wildcats. He scored three touchdowns, one on fc ninety yard run after receiving a punt.

Among the other things he did was figure in the tossing end of a pass play which was good for sixty-four yards for a touchdown by Ike Kepford. Bill De Correvont, launching his senior season, made two touchdowns, once on a trip of a yard and again after a thirty-nine yard sprint. Don Euffmire, a sophomore, reeled off a lot of yardage and cashed some of it on the seventh Northwestern touchdown. Casey Peifer made the eighth touchdown on a one yard plunge. Visitors Get One First Down.

Kansas State, in addition to making the first points, als' made the first first down. It was perhaps tragic for the Kansans that that one first down was all they made. The Evans-ton Wildcats made 22. There were other great discrepancies in the statistics of the two breeds of Wildcats, and what do you expect in a 51 to 3 match? You'll find a table at the bottom of this column in case you're curious. The score was 3 to 0 in favor of Kansas State at the end of four minutes of play, but 13 to 3 in favor of Northwestern at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter the Evanston Wildcats did more running hither and thither than they did in the first period and the Manhattan-Wildcats much less, but the payoff in the scoring department- was only one touchdow-n for the team from hereabouts. Fumble Sets Up Score. Kansas State's early points bloomed from a foozled punt by De Correvont which twisted out.of bounds on North-western's 31 yard line. Williams and Ray Rokey made it first down on Northwestern's 19 yard line but the running attack then bogged and Williams, with Rokey holding the ball on the 28 yard line, kicked a field goal. Northwestern's first touchdown was set up after Kansas State had kicked to midfield.

Tuffy Chambers broke thru on the first play after the kick for a sprint of twenty-one yards and Benson lost no time in ading off thirteen more, after which three efforts by De Correvont netted I Continued on next page, column 4 All FROM THE Yanks Pick Donald for 3d Victory.

4. Steve Juzwik and Angelo Bertelll this" afternoon led their Notre Dame mates calmly and accurately thru the football script they had prepared for Indiana. Powered by Bertelli's passing and Juzwik's running, the Irish moved steadily against a lighting Hoosier eleven to win handily, 19 to 6. All three Notre Dame touchdowns, however, were scored by Full Back Owen Dippy Evans. More than 42,000 sat In a light drizzle of rain that did not cease entirely until the last period to see the state rivals fight up and down the slick stadium turf in a humidity that called for exceptional endurance.

Until the closing two minutes, however, each team limited its substitutions to one man at each position. Jurwik Runs 'Em Back. Bertelli and Juzwik were the hole cards in Notre Dame's winning bid. The agile sophomore, who helped shoot down Arizona last week with his passes, completed seven in 14 attempts this afternoon for 133 yards. But Bertelli's passing, accurate as it was, might not have riddled Indiana's zone defense without the threat by Juzwik.

And Notre Dame unquestionably owed its second touchdown to Juzwik. His brilliant return of Indiana's punts kept the Hoosiers on the defensive after the first period. The Notre Dame machine noticeably lacked blasting power thru the midsection of the Hoosier line, but in overall strength down field and in blocking for sweeps around end the Irish have a weapon to strengthen Bertelli's great passing. Finally, of course, Bertelli's throwing is accurate, because he has sufficient time to throw to receivers who are in position. With a bit of luck Indiana conceivably could have left the field trailing only 6 to 0 at the half since the second Irish touchdown came with 12 seconds remaining to play.

But the greatest tribute to Fred Huff, Gene White, Walt Jurkiewicz, Lou Saban, Chuck Jacoby, and the other front rank defenders was their resistance in the fourth period when the issue had been decided. Twice in this time they turned back Notre Dame's runners and they did it decisively to tarnish the Irish brilliance of the earlier quarters. Irish Suffer Heavy Penalties.

1 (Picturm on page 3, Sport:) Madison, Oct. 4. The Mar-quette football team, working with midseason smoothness, beat Wisconsin, 28 to-l7, today in Camp Randall before 35,000 spectators. In both their running and their passing game, the Hilltoppers displayed speed, deception, and level-headed generalship. It was a brilliant beginning to Tom Stidham's regime as head coach.

The battle moved along at a splendid pace. After gathering headway in the first half, which ended with Marquette leading, 7 to 0, the action and suspense picked up amazingly in the third quarter, which was the decisive period. Fumble Halts Badgers. After advancing to Wisconsin's 8 yard line, only to lose the ball on downs in the first quarter, Marquette lashed out effectively in the second. Bob McCahill rifled a pass right down the middle to Bob O'Hagen for eighteen yards and a touchdown, topping off an advance which had started from the Marquette 47 yard line.

Bob Dams kicked goal. Then Wisconsin came right back from the kickoff to strike fear into the Marquette supporters with a rapid fire drive that carried to the Hilltoppers' 27 yard line before Don Miller fumbled and Ray Carlson recovered for the visitors. In the third period the Badgers let go with a powerful display of running and plunging which carried them forty-five yards to a touchdown, Pat Harder going over thru center. When Bob Ray kicked goal to tie the score, it seemed that the Badgers certainly had found themselves and would go on from there to assert supremacy. A Dramatic Touchdown.

Within the next three minutes came the turning point of the game. After Doug Renzel, Marquette full back, had returned the kickoff to his own 44 yard line, the Hilltoppers tried a pass which failed. On second down Jim Richardson took the ball and drifted back before the charging Badger forwards, while far down the field John Goodyear sprinted desperately to get clear of the Wisconsin pass defense. At the last possible moment, Richardson let go with it. Goodyear, running between two defenders, pulled the ball but of the air on the 28 yard line and dashed on toward the goal.

The safety man hit him on the 3 yard line, but he Continued on page column 5.) Buckeyes Beat Trojans, 33-0, Before 60,000 Power to Spare OHIO STATE 1331. S. Anderaon I E. Oanlell L.T.. Howard L.

Ohio State's 1941 football machine smashed the victory hopes of the University of Southern California eleven and walked out of the coliseum with the first Buckeye triumph over a Pacific coast conference team in 20 years. Rolling up five touchdowns in the first three quarters for a stunning 33 to 0 victory, the midwesterners handed the Trojans the worst whipping they have received since Southern California became a major collegiate football power two decades or so ago. There was no fluke attached to any of the Buckeye tallies. It was just a grand display of power and more power as the Trojans, caught unprepared for this onslaught, wilted in the ends and tackles before the rush of the Ohio State ball carriers. Drive Eighty-three Yards to Score.

The Buckeyes stopped the first Trojan thrust in the early minutes of the game on their own 17 yard line and drove eighty-three yards in nine plays. Before the quarter ended they pounded eighty yards in 10 plays, and in the second period duplicated this feat, yard for yard and play for play, to blast the ardent Trojan rooters Continued on page 5, column 8.

4. Michigan has another football Thomas from Gary who bids fair to match the career of his townsman and predecessor, Tom Harmon. He is Thomas G. Kuzma, who afternoon scored the only touchdown of a rain drenched struggle to give the Wolverines a 6 to 0 triumph over a surprising Iowa eleven in the first game of the 1941 Western conference season. The 19 year old 200 pound left half back delivered the only points of the day in the 10th minute of the first period with a one yard drive at center after having set up the opportunity with a twenty yard run to the Iowa 18 yard mark.

And it wasn't just Master Kuzma's running ability that impressed the 29,909 fans who huddled under umbrellas. Four times Tom punted out of bounds within the 5 yard mark, two of them rolling out at the 2 yard line. Hawkeyes Roll. Barring the Michigan touchdown, the first half was another story. It was all Iowa, and altho they never progressed beyond the Wolverine 23 yard line, the Hackeyes blocked and charged in a fashion that made Michigan look helpless by comparison.

Of course it should be mentioned that the block of the day was contributed by Quarter Back George Ceithaml, one time Lindblom star from Chicago, who made possible Kuzma's run that ultimately resulted in the touchdown. Outstanding in the Iowa cast were Bill Green, Bus Mertes. and Jim Youel in the back field and Jim Walker, colored tackle. The Michigan constituency began to wonder, after their lads kicked off, whether they would ever take command of the ball, which was in Hawk-eye possession for the first five minutes of play thanks to a march from their own 32 yard line, where Parker fielded Wisterfs faulty kickoff, to the Wolverines' 30 yard stripe, whereat the visitors yielded the ball on downs. Ceithaml Throws Block.

Ultimately the Wolverines punted, Youel returning to the Iowa 23 yard mark. Then, in three plays. Iowa was penalized twice, once for taking too much time and again for illegal use of the hands. Youel then punted from behind his own goal line out to the Iowa 43 yard mark.
