Northwestern shackled Minnesota's famed power plays this afternoon in Memorial stadium, but Minnesota trickery sent slender Bud Higgins sprinting around the left end of the Wildcats scrimmage line for a forty-one yard touchdown run in the third Viv uhich the GoDhers With the lever supplied by Bill De Correvont's safety in the first period and this touchdown, the Gophers held the whip hand in the closing minutes of this stirring fight for the leadership in the Western conference football race. To the complete satisfaction of Minnesota's largest football throng, a crowd of 64.464 that had no thought lor the snow-banked gridiron and the slush that ran in rivulets down the concreted stadium aisles, the Gophers DL-ttled up the Northwestern attack and played out the string for a fifth victory this season and the fourteenth consecutive triumph in nearly two years. And today's defeat, their second, ended Northwestern's title aspirations. Gophers Near Title. As the neon red light atop the administration building winked near the.

close of the fight between two great lines these thousands of home-comers boomed an accolade to the Golden Gophers, who now are only two strides from a second consecutive conference championship. Iowa and Wisconsin are Minnesota's remaining foes. When the last second had passed and as the gun sounded to end this struggle, hundreds rushed from the sideline bleachers or plunged over the low retaining wall to hail their heroes, now almost unrecognizable from the mud of the battlefield. There was no question of Minnesota's superiority statistically, but to-right as the Wildcats dejectedly prepared to return to Zvanston they had the consolation that no other team this year had met Minnesota's power head on and stopped that power. A Controversial Score.

The game followed a predicted pattern. In comparisons of gains by rushing Minnesota had an advantage. Northwestern scored by passing. The Wildcats also saw a touchdown pass in the second period canceled by a technicality, and tonight Northwestern questioned the legality of Minnesota's touchdown maneuver. Net since 1936.

when Northwestern whipped the Gophers in Dyche stadium to end Minnesota's string of 21 consecutive victories, has any game in this bitter rivalry possessed the possibilities for endless discussion. Minnesota triumphed without its captain, Bruce Smith, whose brief appearance in the second period did net affect the outcome. Minnesota won despite Northwestern's terrific line defense that reached a peak in the final minutes to hurl back the Gophers from the Wildcat goal, altho the ultimate decision of the struggle already blazed from the score board.

1. Two of tha most evenly matched teams in the star spangled series between Army and Notre Dame battled in the mud and rain at Yankee stadium today to a scoreless tie. The outcome of the big game in tha big town was disappointing to thousands whose football season begins when Army kicks off to Notre Dame and ends when the two teams leave the field. The final score, however, was a true index to the comparative strength of the two undefeated elevens. The game was played on a field soaked by a 24 hour rain that never let up until the teams had returned to their dressing rooms at half time.

A capacity crowd of 76,000, all of whom had purchased their tickets several weeks in advance, huddled under umbrellas, oil skins, and cello phane while the gridiron's oldest in-tersectional rivals slipped and plodded between their 20 yard lines. Third Tie In 28 "tears. This was the third time in the 28 year history of the series that Army and Notre Dame had fought to a draw. The last time was in 1935 when the count was 6 to 6. Notre Dame has won 20 times and Army 5.

The closest Notre Dame came to Army's goal today was the 18 yard line shortly before the end of the half. The Irish also advanced to the 20, where they were in possession of the ball at the final gun. Army's only scoring threat came early in the second quarter when they moved to Notre Dame's 11 yard line, but lost the ball on downs on the 13. The game was essentially a struggle between two burly, aggressive lines. The real actors were along the scrimmage strip.

It was there that plays perished whenever either team gave indication of getting a sustained march under way. Neither eleven could gain consistently. First downs were negligible, five for Army and four for Notre Dame. Three Army men, Robert Evans, center: Henry Mazur. half back, and John Hatch, full back, played the entire 60 minutes.

Army all told employed 23 men. Notre Dame used 24. Army Ends Stop Irish. Bernie Crimmins. converted from full back to guard, turned in a grand performance for Notre Dame.

So did Walter Ziemba, switched from tackle where he played a year ago, to center. Capt. Paul Lillis was the reason Army plays directed at the right side of the Irish wall often collapsed at the scrimmage line. Harry Wright, quarter back, did a fine job of turn ing back Army sweeps to the right. Blockers found him hard to take out and invariably he had chased the ball carrier into a host of Notre Dame tacklers before he was put out of the play.

Tom Farrcll and George Selp. tha West Point ends, succeeded in stopping Notre Dame's flank assaults and Center Evans was forever busting ia there nailing the Irish ball carrier He made more tackles than any other, man on the field. Ralph Hill, sophomore right half back, was Army's best ground gainer, altho Mazur, who spent his freshman year at Boston college under Frank Leahy, was tha most consistent. Army won the toss and chose to receive. Jack Warner kicked off to Hatch who returned thirteen yards to his 38.

Wisconsin's Badgers, who rolled over Iowa and Indiana with tank-like effectiveness, disintegrated today under the pres. sure of trickery. The Syracuse Orange men, exponents of the double lateral dazzlers, not to mention their center, who operates in reverse, unwrapped their deception and pranced around the Camp Randall gridiron until a 27 to 20 triumph had been accomplished The Badgers experienced a few happy minutes before they learned of the easterners' black-magic. The battle, waged on a soggy turf before 19.000. was only a few minutes on its way when a cardinal hued sweater flitted across the enemy goal.

Then the Orangemen began to hit hard, quickly and often. Wisconsin never getting back Any closer than a 13 to 13 second period tie. Once the Badgers were so far in arrears that the count was 27 to 13 against them. A third period touchdown whittled down the margin slightly, but with that feat the day's piling up of points reached its conclusion. They're Tricky anil Fast.

Along with their tricks the Orangemen had speed with which they threw shocks of dizziness into the Badger defense.

If Green Bay loses today, the Bears will be as good as in the league's title game with the eastern champions. Predict Clear Weather. Every available square inch in Wrigley field has been utilized to provide for the biggest crowd ever to see a professional game in Chicago.

The permanent sealing capacity has been augmented by standing room for 3,000 in right field and 800 field seats, or 46,300 in all. Tickets for the bleachers, 5,000 at $1, including tax, and 1,500 standing room tickets at $1.65 will go on sale at 10 o'clock. Last November's game between these rivals set an attendance record of 45.434. Weather predictions are for clear weather, with the temperature around freezing. The field, protected from rains all week long, should be dry.

Can They Repeat? Only Green Bay can conceivably stop the rush of the peerless Bears toward their second straight title something no team has accomplished since the men of George Halas captured titles in 1932 and 1933. The Packers gave the Bears their only scare of the 1941 season. This was in the champions' op'ening game in Green Bay. After the Bears had rushed into a 15 to 0 lead, Green Bay came back with a withering attack which turned the game in its favor, 17 to 15. Into this crisis came George One Play McAfee with the first of his spectacular 1941 dashes.

Sport.) Champaign, 111.. Nov. 1. Michigan's captain. Bob Westfall, and his versatile back field associate, Tom Kuzma.

got back on the scoring track against Illinois this afternoon after their temporary derailment by Minnesota a week ago. Westfall made two touchdowns and Kuzma the other in a chilly, windswept game which the Wolverines won, 20 to 0. An Illinois homecoming crowd of 30,101 saw this 27th football meeting of the Wolverines and the Illini. The game was not an especially brilliant exposition of the pigskin art. which can be blamed, perhaps, on the gale and the sharp drop in the- temperature.

There were, for instance. 13 fumbles in the contest, seven by the winners and a half dozen by the losers. Conditions also slowed the aerial stuff, the only real pass thriller of the day being an Illinois toss. Liz Astroth to Don Griffin, which was good for forty-one yards just before the game endfd. Illini Threaten Twice.

Illinois had scored in all of its pre-vious four games, but the best it could do in that direction was an advance to the Michigan 14 yard line in the first quarter and to the IS yard line immediately after that forty-one yard Astroth-Griffin pass late in the game. The Illini played hard thruout. tho their efforts were more successful in the second half than the first. Mich-igan scored a touchdown in each of the first two quarters and one in the final. This difference in the two halves was reflected in the statistics.

In the first half Michigan made twelve first downs to two for the Illini; at the finish the first down totals showed eighteen for the Wolverines and eight for the Illini. Michigan made 327 net yards from rushing and if you have any idea that Westfall and Kuzma waited for nighness of the goal line to go to work you should know that of those 327 net yards, 247 were reeled off by the Wolverine headliners. The mileage probably would have been greatei if Kuzma had worn mittens to warm his hands. Tom was the fumblingest gent on the lot. Kuzma Goes 43 Yards.

The first touchdown was made by Kuzma in six minutes of the first quarter when he ran his left end for sixteen yards and the first points. On the second play of the game from scrimmage Kuzma ran forty-two yards to Illinois' 13 yard line, where he was brought down by Jimmy Smith, Continued on page 5, column 1.)

You can sit in the stands of a football stadium on many a gloomy Saturday afternoon such as this, and you think you know all about it. But seldom do you know on tne intermission dressing room sequences. You know that men like Bob Zupp-ke and the late Knute Rockne have toned their lads up at the half time interval to a point where the kids rise up and outdo themselves. Such was the case today, when Iowa's football team underwent a dressing room transformation and gratified 28,000 homecomers with a 13 to 7 victory over a hard working Indiana team. For the 30 minutes that occupied the first half of this battle it was all Indiana's ball game, so much so that the Hoosiers.

playing alert football thruout, emerged from the half with a 7 to 0 lead. Yes, you guessed it, the scorer of the touchdown which gave the visitors their advantage was William Hillenbrand, son of the Widow llillenbi'und, who runs a grocery store on Cherry street in Evansville, Ind. Hillenbrand Great In Defeat. Ma Hillenbrand would have enjoyed seeing her boy play the. whole day long, naturally, but so did even the Iowans, who had to express their shouted admiration of this kid who is living up to all the advance notices that have touted him as the sophomore of the year.

Willie did everything you would expect a back to do. He played a fine defensive game. He apparently was trapped on the Iowa 23 yard line in the fifth minute of the game, but he faded back to the 38 yard mark, crossed over to the left and eluded three potential Iowa tacklers as swept on to a touchdown. Then he came back to hold the ball for Gene White, who made the extra point via placement. For all of Master Hillenbrand's performance, you couldn't overlook the work of a Chicago junior half back on Iowa's side.

He was Bus Mertes, the former Lane Tech lad. Bill Green Scores Twice. Mertes didn't score either of the Iowa touchdowns. This was the privilege of Bill Green of Newton, la. The big full back scored both Hawkeye touchdowns.

He set up the coupt that tied the score by returning the first kickoff of the second half thirty-five yards to the Iowa 46 yard line. Mertes then leaped into the Continued on para 4, column 6. Big Day in Iowa IOWA 13. IN MAN A tf. Parker L.
