And thereby hangs another enactment of football's favorite saga the story of the team that always was beaten rising to glory behind a shocking upset of the team that couldn't be beaten. In this case it was a band of badly mauled Pitt Panthers they hadn't won once in five previous starts who smashed down the previously unbeaten Fordham Rams. Even dyed-in-the-wool Panther fans had lost faith in Pitt and there were only 20,000 spectators in Pitt stadium. But those comparitively few faithful who sat chilled thru a cloudy, snow flecked day witnessed an epic For the Panthers defeated the Rams, who seemed headed for one of the nation's postseason bowl games until today.

8. Minnesota, Western conference football leader, today remained among the nation's thinning ranks of undefeated teams by beating Nebraska, 9 to 0. It was Minnesota's fifteenth consecutive victory and Nebraska's fourth straight defeat. This is the first season the Cornhuskers have lost four in a row since 1899. Minnesota, showing the wear and tear of its terrific schedule, had as much trouble with its old rival from Lincoln as it has had with any opponent in this campaign.

The absence of their ace ball carriers, Bruce Smith and Herman Frickey, undoubtedly had something tc do with the Gophers' inability to get their running attack under way. Hlggins Does the Firing. Stopped cold along the ground, Minnesota took to the air for Its touchdown drive. The Gophers got the ball on the last play of the first quarter when Dale Bradley, the Huskers left half back, quick kicked out of bounds on Minnesota's 43 yard line.

Buckeyes Run Faster Than Badgers, 46-34 BY EDWARD BURNS. Chicago Tribune Prrns Ncrvire.l Columbus, Nov. 8. They figured the football engagement between Ohio State and Wisconsin would be a scoring carnival, but few were woozy enough to dream the score would reach the actual ratio, which was Burkeyes, 46; Badgers, 34. Most of the 80 points were scored in snow flurries on a field soggy but not muddy.

A crowd of 58.519 had more trouble with the weather than either but we wouldn't know whether the snowflakes blinded the defense each side was purported to have. Pat Harder of Wisconsin, who went into the game as the Big Nine's leading point producer, scored the first and last of the game's 12 touchdowns. He added the point after his second touchdown, thus lifting his Big Nine total to 45 points. He was out of much of the second and fourth quarters and all of the third because of a leg injury. A Big Parade 1 to 13.

What happened in between Harder's two scoring forays could be told yard by yard In a couple of million words. We haven't that many ready, so we'll just try to give you a chronological summary of the touchdown scoring. 1. Harder scored half way thru the first period on a plunge from the 3 yard line.

OTHER SCORES ON NEXT PAGE. BY WILFRID SMITH. It liiraso Tribune Pros Srrire. (Picture on page 3, Sport.) Baltimore, Nov. 8.

A Notre Dame bomber, with Angelo Bertelli at the sights, blasted Navy's powerful ship of line fore and aft this afternoon in Municipal stadium. And when Bertelli ceased firing, the Irish had successfully defended an unbeaten record, 20 to 13, in the most brilliant battle of the 14 year series with the Midshipmen. A capacity throng of 64,795, including the regiment of 3,100 naval students from nearby Annapolis, jammed Baltimore's huge Municipal stadium. They watched Navy's superior line rip wide holes in the Irish forward line to negotiate a 7 to 7 tie in the second period. They saw Navy capitalize suddenly on an alert pass defense to knot the score again at 13 to 13 in the third period and, finally, these hoarse thousands, equally divided in their partisanship, watched the Irish parade to victory with accurate passes, then doggedly defend as Navy's big guns of a brutal running attack blazed away futilely in the gathering darkness of this gray November after-noon.

Veterans, Take a Bow. The veterans of the Notre Dame varsity carried the burden of the play as usual. Jim Brutz and Capt Paul Lillis at the tackle posts head the list of heroes. Then there was Wally Ziemba, who backed up the right side of the Irish line, Bernie Crimmins who checked Navy's most serious threat by perfectly diagnozing the play and intercepting a pass in his own end zone, and finally the field generals, Harry Wright and Bob Hargreave, who shuttled in and out to direct the team with nearly flawless skill. But today, the performance of Notre Dame's ends under constant pressure from the zig zag runs to Clark and Busik, literally seemed inspired.

John Kovatch, Bob Dove, and Norm Barry time and again smashed the Navy interference and brought down the ball carrier for losses. Evans Starts Irish Oft. Bellwether of the Irish victory marches, of course, was Sophomore Bertelli who now has achieved a record for accuracy and distance probably unrivaled in gridiron history for a first year man. Today Bertelli threw 18 times. He completed 12 passes for a total gain of 232 yards.

His season's record, including three completions for ten yards in nine at-iempts under the impossible conditions of the Army game, now is 52 completions in 89 attempts. Bertelli's passing in seven games has gained 713 yards. Dippy Evans, Irish full back, who plays defense left half back, set the Continued on page 5, column 5. BY IRVING VAUGHAN.

rispite the durable, resourceful Billy Hillenbrand. The Hoosiers as a group Teded before a more powerful Purple aggregation. 20 to 14, but Sophomore Billy, even in defeat, showed Zj 000 spectators, not to mention the Wildcats, that a gridiron battle can be turned into a one man show. The little man with the slightly bowed but fleet legs and deadly r-itching arm was here, there and erywhere for the full sixty minutes, dazzling competitor. When the game ended the Wildcats to a man paused to shake the hand of the man ho had threatened them thru a long afternoon.

Billy might have done even better but at times his legs were too quick for the soggy turf and he crashed down onto the seat of his black pants. Billy Goes to Work Early. Scarcely more than three minutes rf the struggle had been ticked off by the clock before Hillenbrand gave his foes a fleeting glimpse of the 44 rn his chest and the 44 on his back. He intercepted a pass and went tearing away on a seventy-two yard touchdown run. Bill took a major part in a later scoring job in which the Hoosiers climbed into a 14 to 14 tie.

an achievement that might have gained a draw if Nick Burke hadn't fielded an Indiana pass which culminated in the Wildcats decisive scoring thrust in the fourth period. With Bill De Correvont out after the first quarter because of a kick in the chest the Wildcats ground gaining chores were pinned mainly on the fancy Otto Graham and the hard running Don Gawson. Between them they carried the load in a fifty-seven yard drive for the tying score in the first quarter. Graham's passing and plunging sent Northwestern into the lead before the same period ended. And after the Wildcats had been sent back into a tie, it was Clawson who carried the ball over in a series of battering ram thrusts from the 21 yard line in the fourth quarter.

Three Busy Gentlemen. Hillenbrand carried the ball twenty-two times and threw six passes, two of which connected for twenty-five yards. But'his net gain afoot for his sixty minutes of effort was a mere six yards. Graham and Clawson split thirty-four running jobs, the former concluding with a net advance of thirty-one yards and Gsson with an Imposing ninety-six. Graham also accounted for ninety-three yards in six completed passes out of eleven pitches.

De Correvont was present long enough to make three throws, none of which connected. Possibly in the nature of an ex- Continued on page 5, column 2. BY CHARLES BARTLETT. Chicago Tribune Pre Srrvirr.l Champaign, 111., Nov. 8.

This was supposed to be Dad's day at the University of Illinois, but it turned out to be Farmer's day, and we don't mean an Illinl agriculturist, either. We mean Thomas M. Farmer, a 20 year old junior from Cedar Rapids, who was involved in every scoring maneuver of the 21 to 0" triumph Iowa's Hawkeyes registered over a hapless Illinois eleven this wintry afternoon in Memorial stadium. A crowd of 14,339, chilled by snow flurries that dampened the pews, sat disconsolately by and watched Thomas throw touchdown passes to Left End Bill Parker in the first and third periods, and then drive over for the final touchdown himself in the last quarter, following a thirty-six yard iomp to the Illinois 8 yard line. Of the fifty-six yards necessary to consummate this concluding score Tom accounted for fifty.

And if that isn't enough, he also contributed the three extra points via placement. Too Good for Illinl. Farmer was, aided by a supporting cast that was all too superior for the Illini, who now seem to have taken a firm grip on the conference cellar, in view of the fact that their remaining opponents are a couple of teams called Northwestern and Ohio State. Brightest spot of the day for the visiting fathers was Jimmy Smith, the Murphysboro senior, who turned in several neat running jobs. The victory was Iowa's second in the conference rating and their ninth in 22 engagements against the Illini.

The Hawkeyes led, 16 to 10, in first downs, the Illini accomplishing most of theirs between the 20 yard lines, their only serious advance coming in the second quarter when a goal line pass was intercepted by Iowa and returned to the latter's 8 yard line. The visitors topped the yardage gained department, 332 to 226, 288 of those originating from rushing. Whatever the Illini might have done in the way of offense was marred by six fumbles, Iowa recovering five of these. Quick Ilawkeye Score. The Iowa first quarter touchdown required only seven and one-half minutes to accomplish.

After he had won the toss and elected to defend the north goal, Farmer made a neat return of McCarthy's kickoff, proceeding to his own 45 yard line. Eight yards was all the Hawkeyes could assemble from scrimmage, and Farmer finally punted to the Illinois 26. The Illini began to gratify the Dad's day crowd with a brief march that opened with an eight yard sortie by Smith and a fourth down quarter back sneak by Astroth that was good for 15 yards before Liz was detained. The latter was spilled for a six yard Continued on page ft, column 1. BY HOWARD BARRY.

I hirnco Tribune I'rrxs -rvice. I (Picture on page 3, Sport.) Lafayette, Nov. 8. Purdue need never worry about its future if the present day students are half the men their fathers are. There's no trouble at all in picking the heroes of the Dad's day football game in which Purdue and Michigan State played a I scoreless tie this afternoon in Ross-Ade stadium.

The heroes were the dads. Thru a gray and gloomy afternoon these gentlemen watched patiently, waiting for their offspring to do something. But they waited in vain. Hunched in the windswept concrete stands, with snow blowing persistently into their faces, they stuck it out to the last knock of the knees and the last chatter of the teeth. Just a Few Chances to Cheer.

There were flashes of opportunity to perk them up in those gusty, closing minutes. The dads stood and cheered when the Boilermakers intercepted a pass on the Michigan State 43 yard line in the last quarter, but this chance came to nothing. Almost at once, however, the dads were up again. With five minutes to play, the Boilermakers intercepted another Michigan State pass and this time it was downed on the Spartan 26 yard line. Again came disappointment.

The Purdue backfield, attempting a man in motion play, became thoroly confused and ended up by losing four yards. After a second attempt had gained three yards another mixup occurred. On the pass from center Continued on page 4, column 8. Stand-Off Pl'RDlB 0. MICH.
