Texas Christian played "David to Texas' Goliath today, smashing to a 14 to 7 victory over a team which two weeks ago was rated as one of the best in the nation. Thus curtains fell on the saga of the invincible Orange Wave which, once hailed the greatest University of Texas team In history, today made ashes of its Southwest conference championship hopes.

score, the Horned Frogs ripped the Longhorns' defenses, stilled their scoring power, and put over the winning touchdown with only eight seconds left. The winning drive started with a thirty-three yard dash off tackle to the Texas 33. Then Frank Medanich made five yards -and Nix added four. After a loss and several incomplete passes. Nix pitched the ball nineteen yards to Van Hall, standing just over the goal line.

Phil Roach kicked the extra point. Thus was ruined the record of a team which had won six games by overwhelming scores before being tied, 7 to 7, by Baylor last week. Iayden Scores for Texas. Texas' only score came late In the first quarter after a T. C.

The Michigan Wolverines simply were too much football team for the Columbia Lions today. Playing little more than half of the game, the Maize and Blue first string galloped rough shod for four touchdowns, four conversions, and a 28 to 0 victory.

A crowd of 35,000 that overflowed into the aisles In Baker bowl was treated to an exhibition of power by Capt.

Badgers Beat Purdue, 13-0, in 4th Period BY IRVING VAUGHAN. (Chicago Tribune Press Service. 1 (Picture on page 3, Sporti.) Madison, Nov. 15. The University of Wisconsin Badgers, whose had almost become a myth.

solved their pressing problem today and while so doing didn't permit their scoring skill to suffer thru neglect. The cardinal clad battlers simply melted a Purdue Boilermaker offense down to a harmless midfield whisper and made their own attack click to the tune of 13 to for their second shutout of the season and their third Big Nine triumph. The victors, a shade better all the way, but not quite powerful enough to carry thru a series of threats to even one happy conclusion, couldn't solve the rugged Boilermaker defense until the final quarter. Then the break came quickly a blocked punt and a touchdown in which Dave Schreiner, the peerless Cardinal end, seemed to be in two places at the same time. And then just as extra amusement for 25,000 spectators the equally dynamic Pat Hit 'Em Harder split the enemy defense wide open to reel off a fifty-four yard gallop Continued on page 4, column S.J Hard Fought WISCONSIN 13.

BY WILFRID SMITH. Chicago Tribune Press Serried (Picture cn page 3, Sport:) Iowa City, Nov. 15. A good bis: team still is better than a good little team. Minnesota's bulky young men proved the axiom again this afternoon before a Dad's day crowd of 43,200 gathered in Iowa stadium, by a two touchdown splurge In the final period for a convincing 34 to 13 victory.

Before the agile Hawkeyes bowed to a superior power, however, this conference battle, by which the Gophers have clinched at least a share of the 1941 championship, was as bitterly fought as any of the 34 that have preceded In this series. Iowa scored in the opening quarter and then came back in the next to lie the score at 13 to 13. Minnesota forged ahead, 20 to 13, at the Intermission but for 21 minutes of the second half the Hawkeyes held the Gopher steam roller in check. Iowa Tirea Out. Iowa's defenders tired rapidly from their desperate efforts and Minnesota marched twice more to the goal to wipe out any lingering hope that Iowa's men could accomplish their Herculean task.

Minnesota richly deserved its victory, the seventh of the current campaign and the 16th in succession since Iowa whipped the Gophers on this field In 1939. Not only is Minnesota certain now to share the conference title, even if defeated next week, but the Gophers also are within striking distance of their own 21 game winning streak, the outstanding team achievement in the last score of years In the Big Nine. Minnesota's conquest was founded on power. The hard smashing plunges of Bill Daley and Bob Sweiger, who operated behind a line that outweighed the Hawks 17 pounds to a man and outmanned them two to one, ripped gaping holes in Iowa's line in the closing periods. Altho successive passes by Minnesota's Capt.

Bruce Smith were linked together to produce Minnesota's first touchdown, the Gophers piled up 20 of their 23 first downs by rushing. S43 Yards by Rushing. Minnesota hammered along the ground for 343 yards, and Sweiger and Daley carried the ball for an unprecedented 47 times from scrimmage. Between them, this precious pair BY ARCH WARD.

Columbus. O- Nov. 15. A coura-rous band of young athletes from the Vniverwty of Illinois today gave an Ohio State homecoming crowd of 41344 chills and fever with their rKged hne play, their complicated forrr.ations. and their refusal to admit defeat.

But when the smoke cf battle had lifted, the Buckeyes were in front. 12 to 7, after one of the toughest engagements they had had this season. Ohio State, with a record of six victories and one defeat, was an over-whelming favorite to crush an Illinois team that hasn't won a Big Nine conference game in two years. The game was less than four minutes old. however, before the vast throng was convinced Ohio State had a fight on Its hands.

Illinois Takes Lead. Thruout the first two periods It was Illinois that had the better line, the better plays, the better passes. It was Illinois that banged out six first downs to Ohio's three in the rst half. It was Illinois whose passes were It was Illinois that scored the first touchdown and dssed a second after gaining a first jiown on the 5 yard line. Still it was Ohio State that had operatives in place when their two touchdown chances suddenly and unexpectedly broke.

The first came on a long forward pass from Dick Fisher te P.obrt Shaw late In the second quarter that sained seventy-two yards for a touchdown. The secoitd and decisive score came In the third quarter after the recovery of an Illi-cois fumble. Illinois opened the battle with an explosive attack that stunned their opponents. Illinois, with a strong wind at. its back, chose to defend the south goal and Ohio elected to receive.

Robert Wilson, left guard, kicked off over the goal line. Jack Graf, whose father played against Illinois in Bob Zuppke's early years at Champaign, lost two yards In two plunges and after Tom Kinkade fumbled for a ten yard loss Dick Fisher punted to Ohio 27 yard line. Illinl Score Early. Griffin made a yard at right tackle and Dick Good flipped a forward pa'ss to Paul Milosevich for a first down on the 14.

(Picture on page 3, Sport.) Notre Dame's undefeated Irish, ever alert opportunists, yesterday let Northwestern's Wildcats amass the incidental statistics while they harvested the fruits of victory. Notre Dame made a touchdown and added the point. Northwestern matched the touchdown but didn't add the point. Thus Notre Dame won the 21st game with Northwestern, its 16th victory of the series, 7 to 6. before a capacity crowd of 48,000 in Dyche stadium.

The Irish were the first to score. They did it a minute and a half after the start of the second half on a sixteen yard pass, Angelo Bertelli to Matt Bolger, for the touchdown. Steve Juzwik added the payoff point from placement. Seven and a half minutes after Notre Dame tallied, Otto Graham climaxed a sixty yard Wildcat drive with a four yard plunge to a touchdown. Dick Erdlitz's effort to add the point from placement was blocked by Wally Ziemba, Irish center.

Irish Gamely Trotect Lead. Notre Dame did a clever job protecting that one point lead. The Wildcats threatened again in the third quarter and had a first down on the Irish 28 yard line when the period ended. The drive failed when Erdlitz missed a place kick from the 21 yard line early In the fourth quarter. Notre Dame withstood another drive when Juzwik intercepted a pass back of his goal line.

And at the finish, the Irish themselves were pounding away. They were stopped on the 2 yard line after a forty one yard march and on the last play of the game Juzwik came back to the Wildcats' 6 yard line after intercepting a pass. This was Notre Dame's seventh victory, the only blot on its record being a scoreless tie with the Army. It was Northwestern's third defeat, the Wildcats previously having lost close ones to Michigan and Minnesota. Clawson'a Fumble Costly.

Don Clawson, who scored two of the touchdowns in Northwestern's victory over the Irish last year, had the unhappy experience of giving yesterday's victors an opportunity on which they quickly wreaked revenge. At the start of the third quarter Juzwik sent the klckoff out of hounds and the ball was put in play on Northwestern's 35 yard line. On the first play Clawson fumbled and Bernle Crlmmlns, the reformed full Too Strong IOWA 1 13 J. MINNESOTA 311. Parker L.E Fitch Walker Wildiing Cnrran t-rvr Dlchl Flick Anderson R.G."
