Ifhlraco Trlbona Press Serrlee.l (Picture on pag 3, Sports.) Ann Arbor, Nov. 22. Michi gan, 20; Ohio State, 20. This was the score this gray No vember afternoon in the 38th battle of an intense rivalry that only twice before had ended in no decision. Three touchdowns for the Wolver ines; three touchdowns for the Buckeyes.

But in the manufacture of this score today was jammed all the hys teria, all the thrills and fears by which intercollegiate football has become great. The two seemingly irresistible op ponents paraded with power and skill before a crowd of 85,757. In the first period Ohio swept relentlessly to the initial touchdown. They Trade Touchdowns. Michigan snapped the shackles ot listlessness in the second quarter to tie.

Then, after the intermission, Michigan marched to a 14 to 7 lead that primed the Buckeye machine for a drive that again deadlocked the game. And before that momentum had been lost, Ohio State took com mand early in the final period, 20 to 14. With defeat few Wolverine sup porters had considered possible only a matter of minutes, a tired band ot Wolverines found the strength once more to hammer a path thru the Buckeye line until Capt. Bob West fall smashed for the tying touchdown Here was a tie, 20 to 20. with vic tory resting on the try for the point.

But even as John Hallabrin, Ohio State quarter back, had missed his third kick, so did Bill Melzow of Michigan. Present Ohio With Ball. When the timer's gun ended the last futile efforts to break this tie, thousands joined in a surge of hu manity across the gridiron to where rival players sought possession of the ball. Eventually, Michigan's Al Wistert, giant tackle, gained the trophy, which Westfall later present ed officially to Ohio State. Ohio State can claim a moral victory, for by this tie the Buckeyes wiped out the humiliating 40 to 0 What a Battle! 1 -Tl'iV A'' 7 5 I 1 Li u.

Sports.) Bob Zuppke, 29 years at the Illinois football helm, reached the' end of the Orange and Blue trail yesterday in a shower of points a going away token from a rough, tough pack of Northwestern Wildcats who weren't concerned about sentiment while drawing the curtain on the Big Nine season in Dyche stadium. With Bill De Correvont putting on a show, also his final performance, the Wildcats galloped to a 27 to 0 victory, their fourth against two defeats in the conference race. The Illini, seemingly intent on making good their pledge to give their departing coach something with which to remember them, never came close enough to disturb the complacency of their foe. They had tricks, as usual, and at times used them to put together neat marches but something always happened to bring them to a rude halt. Usually it was thru the interception of one of the 28 passes by which they injected fireworks into an otherwise futile fight.

De Correvont Leaves Brilliantly. De Correvont went out of the collegiate foo. iall picture with his head high, his legs flying, and his right arm waving. Three times he fairly flew over the Illini goal line. On 14 occasions he was the ball lugger, piling up a total of 67 yards.

He was the author of seven passes, four of which hooked up to add 54 more yards to the Wildcats persistent movements up and down the field. The choicest of all these contributions was a zig-zagging but hurried trip over the Illinois left end from twenty yards out to give N. U. its second touchdown at the start of the second quarter. There was time enough for all 20 of Northwestern's seniors to enjoy at least a small piece of the final struggle and there also was time enough for the introduction of some of the men who will have to carry the load a year hence.

One of these was Sophomore Ed Hirsch, who occupied the full back post during much of the De Correvont's Day NORTHWESTERN ILLINOIS 0. Moll L. Milosevic!) Baomaa Johnson Burke L. Wilson Mundr Cheeley Zorlrh R.G. MeCullnugh Vincent R.

afternoon and ripped the Illinois wall so relentlessly that he accumulated 92 yards in 18 drives, one of which carried him over the enemy goal. Griffin Is Out. The Illini, possibly handicapped by the absence of the injured Don Griffin, enjoyed their biggest few minutes of the struggle just before the second period drew to a close. Among other happenings, Jim Smith broke away for twenty-six yards to the N. U.

30 yard line. That was stopped when Otto Graham intercepted a pass. The Illini recaptured the ball when the Wildcats kicked and soon were on the 11 yard line as the result of a pass heaved by Levere Astroth to Dick Tumilty. But additional passes failed and Northwestern salvaged the ball on downs. That was Illinois' closest approach to scoring territory.

The Illini had a bit of fun with some passes In the first few minutes after the initial kickoff. but eventually had to punt and this proved a cue for the Wildcats to start moving. In eleven plays they made their first thrust across the enemy goal. The drive started with a one yard loss by Don Clawson but De Correvont scooted around his left end for eight yards. Clawson punched thru for four and De Correvont then heaved a long pass to Bob Mot), who was dropped on the Illini 20.

Fourteen of the remaining yards were picked up by De Correvont before he reached the goal, the eight others by Hirsch. Dick Erdlitz's toe added the seventh point. Wildcats Score Again. When the second cfuarter opened, the Wildcats, having received a punt from the Illini, were fifty-five yards from the Orange and Blue goal. They weren't long reaching the latter point.

Hirsch rammed the wall for eight yards and Ike Kepford skipped around his left end for eleven. After Ml, 6. ft (tribune rhotos.)

Notrw Dame today achieved its first undefeated season in 11 years by whipping Southern California. 20 to 18. in as spectacular a game as this thrill studded series has produced. This was the fourth time In the 18 year rivalry that Notre Dame won from Southern California by the margin of points after touchdown. Each team today made three touchdowns.

Twice the Irish made good on the try for point. Three times the Trolans failed. Twice It was the aeeressiv. ness of the Notre Dame line that thwarted the Westerners. Once it was the alertness of Angelo BerteUl, who knocked down a forward pass by which the Trojans tried to make the extra point.

Today's victory, accomplished before a capacity crowd of 56.000, gives Notre Dame a record of nine victories, six defeats, and one tie in their IS games with the Trojans. First Since Rockne's Time. This is the first season since Knute Rockne turned out an all victorious eleven in 1930 that Notre Dame ha gone thru Its schedule without a defeat. The Irish scored victories over Arizonn, Georgia Tech. Indiana.

Car-negie Tech, Illinois, Navy. Northwestern, and Southern California. They were held to a scoreless tie by Army in the rain and mud in Yankee stadium. Southern California, victorious In only two of its six games against Pacific coast opponents, was good enough today to hold one of the nation's smartest and most resourceful elevens to a standstill. It was apparent early In the contest that neither team would go far with Its running game.

Two big, rugged lines tore each other to pieces, chopping up running plays In the process. Because of the parity of the lines, the game developed into an aerial battle that featured the greatest fast ball pitcher ever developed at Notre Dame, Angelo BerteUl, and a couple of long distance chuckers, Paul Taylor and Bill Musick, whose performance for Southern California gave Notre Dame partisans violent attacks of chills and fever. 569 Average for BerteUL The overhead game of both teams was so impressive it seemed unbelievable, something like your first look at the Grand Canyon, Lana Turner, or an Imperial coronation.

BY CHARLES BARTLETT. I Oiiraxa Tribune Preaa Serried Pictures on page 3, Sports.) Minneapolis. Nov. 22. Minnesota's Gophers aren't good.

They're GREAT. They proved their ability again this afternoon before a joyous jury of 52,894 which sat in Memorial stadium's chilly confines to tee them conclude their season with a 41 to 6 triumph over-a brave but hopelessly blighted Wisconsin eleven. The decisive margin rolled up by the Minnesotans not only brought them their seventh Western conference championship in nine years out of the ten that Bernie Bierman has been their coach, but left little doubt about their status as THE football team of our land. It was Minnesota's ZTth straight victory. Ah.

They Can Pass, Too! It wasn't the sort of game you would expect from the Golden Gophers. Ordinarily, these kids up here are power personified, running, tackle-smashing power. Today they proved they can qualify for any gridiron aviation unit, as well, and the No. 1 nominee for wing commander cf the squadron is Capt. Bruce Smith, who played with a knee that has plagued him since the Michigan game.

Rruee and his pitching arm figured in all except two of the six Gopher touchdowns, one of which was scored cn another aerial effort from Bud Kiggins, Minnesota's mighty mite, to Sophomore Bob Sandberg, in the last ten seconds of play. By that time Smith's knee was so aggravated that he finally had to be helped from the field. But there was none to say that you could count the handsome blond leader of one of Minnesota's greatest teams out of any national player anthology. Who's the Star? All of Them! Anfor that matter, you might just as well add the other ten members cf the Gopher varsity, not to mention several of their understudies, and you have a team that can choose up sides against the world. The only possible rival might be one Marlin IPatJ Harder, a young man from Milwaukee, whom the Gophers are going to have to look at for another two years.

Sophomore Harder was quite a man. even in defeat, scoring the only Badger touchdown in the second period and leading an ultimately futile drive for another in the Continued on page 6, column 1.

Every man was a hero today, but none was greater than Michigan's Westfall, key to every maneuver, or Jack Graf, Buckeye full back.

Then there was Tom Kuzma of Michigan who tossed a touchdown pass, had seven completions in his 10 attempts and continually harried the Ohio State flanks to make more effective Westfall's plunging. Ohio State may counter with Hero Dick Fisher, fastest back on the field who kicked and passed and finally went skipping and dodging thru Michigan's defense for fifty yards and the touchdown by which the Buckeyes went into the lead, 20 to 14. The third time Ohio State's young men had possession after the kickoff, they smashed fifty yards in 12 plays to lead, 7 to 0. Graf and Fisher nan died the ball exclusively after Fisher had returned Kuzma's punt sixteen yards to midfleld. Then, after two in complete passes, the advance began.

Pile Over Wistert. Graf passed behind the line of scrimmage to Fisher, who shot thru Wistert for seventeen yards and a first down on Michigan's 33, Fisher again hit for four yards but Graf could only get two yards in two plunges. On fourth down Graf passed to Sam Fox, who made a stop and catch for a first down on Michl gan's 15. Graf raced for eight yards then plunged for a first down on Michigan's 4. Graf lost a yard but went the rest of the way over Wis tert on the next try- Hallabrin kicked the point.

Michigan hadn't made a first down and had completed only one pass for a loss of three yards when the second quarter began. Then the Wolverines broke loose. They were turned back at Ohio State's 7 yard line on and again were stopped Continued on page 4, column 5. years at Illinois.

Perhaps it wasn't one of his better jokes. But It showed that Zuppke would never be any one but himself regardless of the pressure of the time and place and the circumstances.

Speaks Calmly to Players. Zuppke's last afternoon as a coach began without dramatics. He might have been expected to make some special appeal to the players in the dressing room before the game. He might have reminded them of sensational upsets scored by previous Illinois teams. He might have asked them to go out and win this one for him.

But he didn't. After a few quiet remarks he said: "You'd better just commune with yourselves. That'll do you more good than listening to me." Then he kept walking up and down until it was time to go out on the field, occasionally throwing out a word or two at the turning points of his pacing. Just before the kick-off, Kenneth L. Wilson, Northwestern athletic director, presented Zuppke with a plaque commemorating the long and spirited rivalry that has existed between the two schools.

Ills Old Boys Sit Near By. Zuppke's career went out in typical football weather a slate gray after noon with a hint of frost in the wind. Around him on the three-tiered Illi nois bench were grouped some of his great players of the past who had come to be with him at the finish. Right behind him was Harold Pogue, a mighty back field man in 1913. '14, and '15.

Butch Nowack, Jim McMil len, and Ray Gallivan were there, too. The Illinois bench was a silent place thru most of the game. Zuppke spoke occasionally In a low voice to the players around him, pointing out mistakes that were occurring on. the Continued on page 7, column 2. Bob Zuppke went away yesterday.

In retrospect, it seems incredible that any one could have guessed wrong about the manner in which he would take his leave after serving for 29 years as Illinois' head football coach. Some had expected him to shove his hands into the pockets of his tight fitting dark coat and go off silently and bitterly from Dyche stadium following Illinois' 27 to 0 defeat by Northwestern. Others thought he might let fly a few hard words. Still others who knew him very little believed he might Issue some canned statement beginning; "After many years of pleasant association Spirit Him Away? Not Zup! But of course they were wrong. Of course there was only one way in which Zuppke would go.

He went away with a little joke. As he came out of the Illinois dressing room under the high, gloomy stands, he walked thru a narrow lane between alumni, friends, and curiosity seekers. His associates were aiming to spirit him away swiftly in tradi tional movie fashion but in their excitement they forgot the characteris tics of their man. One. tall fellow reached out from the crowd for a farewell handshake.

And before any one could realize what was happening. Zuppke was In the midst of an anecdote, maintaining his grip on the tall man's hand to prevent the surge of the crowd from sweeping them too far apart. Spirit Illm Away? Not Zup! Some of his companions sought to urge him ahead while others were attempting to clear a path for him to get away but Zuppke just kept right on talking to the tall man over the heads of the swirling pack. The story was something about an injured player vho was sent in to attempt a crucial field goal with his leg in a cast. It seems that the kick was blocked, but the boy delivered such a tremendous whack with the heavy cast that he booted both the ball Continued on page 7, column 3.
