Later in the same period, Hornung ran 38 yards to North Carolina's 4 and Frank Pinn, No. 4 Irish fullback smacked over for a louchdown.

Jack Witucki, for a 42-to-0 Notre Dame lead.

It was then the Tar Heels finally drew blood- with their desperation passing attack. Hornung Averages 10.3 Hornung carried the ball seven times for a sparkling 10.3 average, his 72 yards net topping all Irish ball carriers. Connie Gravitte, who broke away for 36 yards in the third period, had the best Tar Heel total, 41 yards, in four carries for a 10.2 average. North Carolina was in trouble from the opening kickoff when Morse ran back the Tar Heel boot 77 yards to the North Carolina 22. On the sixth scrimmage play, Heap sidled to his left and darted over tackle from, the 1-yard line for the opening Irish touchdown.

It was still a game until the second quarter was 80 seconds old and the roof started caving in on the Tar Heels.

The Irish moved in their reserves, but it didn't help the Tar Heels.

Carey moved his team 81 yards to score, flipping a 9-j-ard touchdown pass to Munro for a 28-0 Notre Dame halftime lead. After that, it was just a matter of Brennan trying to hold down the score. But the Irish spares didn't see it that way.

A jubilant San Jose crowd ripped down the goal posts after the game. Sixteen thousand fans watched the Spartans score in the first quarter, fall behind twice during the course of the game, then come back and beat the Indians with a fourth-quarter touchdown.

College 6 31 Pomona-Claremont Whlttier 6 Cornell Downs Dartmouth, 40-21 Ithaca, N.Y., Nov. 13 (JP) Dick Jackson's 98-yard run with the opening kickoff touched off an explosive Cornell offense that buried Dartmouth today, 40 to 21, for. the Big Red's fourth straight victory after losing their first four games. Jackson, a speedy Junior from Athens, also raced 55 yards for a third-period touchdown. Dick Meade and Bill DeGraaf teamed up for an 88-yard scoring play with DeGraaf lateralling to Meade who made a brilliant twisting run as he reversed his field.

Despite Jackson's opening burst, Dartmouth held a 7-6 lead at the end of the first period because Bill Beagle converted after Lou Turner's 11-yard' touchdown run and DeGraff missed follow ing Jackson's sprint. Cornell drove for three scores in the second period on DeGraafs 18-yard run, the DeGraaf-Meade thriller and a 10-yard pass front Art Sosenko to John Morris. Illinois Miscues Help Wisconsin Win, 27-14 Champaign, 111., Nov. 13 (JP) Wisconsin, cashing in on a series of recovered fumbles and crucial penalty yardage against Illinois. trip-hammered three touchdowns in the last quarter today to chill the mini's homecoming with a 27-to-14 triumph.

A capacity throng of 71,119, who cheered the 13-point underdog Illini, as Quarterback Em Lindbeck and injured J. C. Caro line mustered the team into a 14-7 lead-through three periods, sat back in amazement when the collapse came. Wisconsin, handing Illinois its fifth straight Big Ten defeat, played all but the first five minutes of the game without its rushing record holder, Alan Ameche. The big fullback, hobbled with a bruised ankle, started the game.

He was in for only seven plays, but for the first time in his career, he did not carry the ball. The Badgers, gaining their fourth conference triumph in six starts, sprung a reserve senior halfback, Bob Gingrass, across the goal line three times. He also booted an extra point. Tom Bell, whose eligibility has been questioned, stood out for the Cadets, with Bell and Holie der each scoring two touchdowns. Despite perfect weather only 34,477 showed up for the game the smallest crowd for a Penn-Army game in recent years.

Hynoski Punts Well Only the superb, punting of Walt Hynoski kept the score as low as it was. Once the Penn halfback quick-kicked for 75 yards, another time he punted 57' yards out of bounds on the Army 3, and on another occasion he kicked 54 yards out of bounds on the West Point 16. Late in the game he kicked 42 yards out of bounds on the Army 13. Holieder scored his first touchdown on a 56-yard pass play from Vann and his second one on a 50-yard pass, also from Vann, that he caught on the goal line. Penn made its deepest penetration of Army Territory at the start of the third period when Hynoski returned a kickoff 33 yards to his 41.

Short passes and linebucks, plus a 15-yard penalty against Army, advanced the ball to the Cadets' 20, but there the threat ended. Army Loses Ball Army opened the game by marching 73 yards in nine plays, only to lose the ball on a fumble on Pennsylvania's 2. A few moments later the Cadets scored their first touchdown, this time going 60 yards in 14 plays with Bell going the final seven, Bell himself set up the other touchdown that he scored when he took a pitchout from Vann at the start of the second half, and ran 47 yards to the Penn 7. He drove through the line from the 5 for the counter. Army's fifth and final touchdown was made in the last period by the reserves, who marched 80 yards in six plays with Pete Lash going over from the four.

Tenn's longest gain of the game was a 37-yard pass by Jack McCarthy, third string sophomore quarterback, to Jim Castle, but Army closed in and nothing happened. Pennsylvania, which has lost every game it has played this year under its new coach, Steve Sebo, formerly of Michigan State, now has one more chance to win a game. Penn closes its schedule Thanksgiving Day against Cornell. Army will go into its annual game against Navy here in Philadelphia at Municipal Stadium November 27 with a record of seven victories against a single defeat. This was administered by South Carolina, 34-20, in the first game of the season.

Navy has a. season's record of six victories and two defeats probably the best seasons on both sides for the service rivals in many years. Navy Beat Penn, 52-6 The two teams met two opponents in common, and in both cases Navy made the better show, ing Navy defeated Duke, 40 to 7, and Army did it, 28 to 14. Navy trounced Pennsylvania, 52 to 6, against Army's 35 to 0. Army played without the direction of its coach, Red Blaik, who was hospitalized because of ill.

ness. His condition is not considered serious. The eligibility of Bell was questioned because he is playing his fifth season at Army under a quirk in the rules.

Kansas State Whips Iowa State By 12-7 Manhattan, Nov. 13 (JP)-m Third string Halfback Tony Ad. deo sprinted 18 yards for a touch-down in the fourth quarter to give Kansas State a 12-to-7 victory over Iowa State today and keep alive the Wildcats' slim Orange Bowl hopes. The victory, scored before a homecoming day gathering of 15.000.

gave Kansas State a 3-2 Big Seven record. The Wildcats meet Colorado at Boulder next Saturday in their final Big Seven game. -Texas Triumphs Over T.C.U., 35-34 Fort Worth, Texas, Nov. 13 (JP). Texas fought crippling fumbles and the glittering runs of Ray Taylor and Jim Swink with a second-half comeback that brought its first victory of the -season in the Southwest Conference today, 35 to 44, over Texas Christian.

Five touchdowns were scored on plays of from 56 yards up to 71 as both teams threw defense out of the stadium and concentrated on the long run. Charley Brewer, the forgotten man of Texas this season as the Longhorns were racked by disciplinary troubles and ineptness, piloted Texas to its great last-half surge. The winning touchdown came with two minutes and 21 seconds to go and was set up by a T.C.U. fumble. Delano Womack rammed through guard for three yards and the score and Buck Lansford booted his fifth conversion.

End Ron Beagle had thrown a key block. George Textor extra point kick was wide and Navy led, 6 to 0, after 5 minutes and 32 seconds. Columbia couldn't gain following the kickoff, Carr punting to John Weaver on the Navy 32. A clipping penalty put the Tars back to their own 23 where they started a 77-yard scoring drive. the touchdown coming on a Welsh-to-Guest screen pass.

Tex-tor's boot made it 13 to 0. Middies Lead At Half, 25-0 Columbia made its greatest advance of the first half in the second quarter, getting to Navy's 39. But the Lions couldn't score and couldn't stop the Middies from adding another pair of touchdowns for a 25-to-O lead at half-time. Gattuso's first touchdown was Navy's third of the game, the hard-running fullback crashing across from the Columbia one to complete a 90-yard march. Four minutes later, with 35 seconds left in the half, Bill Hepworth scored from the Lions' 2 after End Jim Owens had set up the touchdown with a fumble recovery on the Columbia 36.

Navy scored three times in the third period. Smith hit Carr so hard on the first play of the second half that the ball, which the Columbia back was trying to pitch back to Wilson, flew high into the air, being recovered by Tackle Pat McCool on the Lions' 12. Three plays later Weaver went around right end from the 10 for the touchdown. Gattuso converted to make it 32 to 0. Tars Go 76 Yards In 5 Plays The Middies went 76 yards in five plays a little later, Gattuso running the ball across from 40 yards out on a buck through right tackle.

Jim Byrom tried an onsides kickoff which worked as Tackle Jim Royer recovered for Navy on the Columbia 45. The third team backfield was in action and anxious to share in the glory. Directed by Quarterback Dave Korzep, it took only five plays for a touchdown, Paul Gober going the final 14. Navy closed, out its scoring early in the final period. A 75-yard drive took only ten plays against the tiring Lions with Korzep ramming over from the New Yorkers' two after four minutes.

Byrom's first try for the fifty-first point was good but Navy was penalized 15-yards for holding. Byrom kicked again, his boot covering the 35-yards perfectly to make it 51 to 0. Lions Go 65 Yards To Tally Columbia had been shut out its last two starts by Cornell and Dartmouth but the Lions, whose coach, Lou Little, is in his 25th year as head mentor, were not to be denied today. The Lions covered 65 yards in their touchdown march, after stopping another Navy threat on their own 25. Columbia's five plays were all passes.

The first, by Quarterback Charlie Nations, was incomplete. The second went to Harry Scott for 6 yards. The next was to End Ted Winterburn for 38 to the Navy 25. Nations' hit Scott again for 10 yards and a first down on the Navy 15. The Little Rock (Ark.) junior sent his fifth aerial into the end zone where End Alan Black was all alone to make the catch.

Bob Dillingham's try for the extra point was wide. Navy started another drive toward the Columbia end zone which was stopped short by the clock. Eight plays covered 44 yards from the Middies 43 to the Columbia 13, where time ran out. Ed Malynn sparked the thrust, making 19 yards. His last carry went to the 13 for Navy's thirty-first down, but the Middies had had their last play and Columbia was spared from an even worse setback in its poorest season since World War II.

West Virginia Wallops Williamsburg, Nov. 13 (JP). Freddy Wyant, one of college football's trickiest split-T quarterbacks, slipped into the end zone for all three West Virginia touchdowns today to give the Mountaineers a 20-6 victory over William and Mary and the Southern Conference championship. Every West Virginia touchdown was set up by a pass interception. Wyant sneaked over from the five in the dying momehts of the second quarter and contributed 1-yard touchdown dives in the third and fourth periods.

Center Chick Donaldson converted after two of the three touchdowns. Wyant, a 195-pound junior from Deston, W.Va., was superb, but Halfback Jack Yohe of William and Mary gave the homecoming crowd of 10,000 its greatest thrill. Yohe, a speedy sophomore, hauled in substitute Fullback Ddn Wilson's punt on the West Virginia 44, faked a handoff to Quarterback Al Griecb and sped to the goal in the final quarter. Tackle Jerry Sazio's extra point try was partially blocked. Luther Undefeated Decorah, Iowa, Nov.

13 (JP) Luther won its ninth straight game today, beating Loras, 45 to 6. and finishing its first undefeated football season in the school's history. C. ATWATER first sports page) Halfback Dave Nusz recovered for Maryland. Sparked by a 10-yard run by Howie Dare and one of 14 yards by Selep, the Terps marched to the Clemson 13 but were halted when Boxold's pass skimmed eff End Russ Dennis's fingers as he jumped up in the end zone.

Clemson March Falters Clemson then began a 74-yard march that again ended in frus tration. A 19-yard pass from King to End Walt Laraway was the big gainer of the 12 plays. Pellagrini, of the Terps, intercepted King's pass on the Maryland 12 and ran it back to his own 32. The Terps could make no head way and neither could Clemson after taking Bill Walker's punt. The Tigers gambled on fourth down with 20 seconds to go and Bussey's pass was incomplete, so Maryland took over on the Clemson 45.

With 15 seconds to go in the half, Boxold tossed a pass in the left flat to Waller, who crossed the field completely and sped down the right sideline to score. He got a key block by Albrecht at the 20. Bielski's kick was good and the clock ran out to give Maryland a 13-to-0 halftime lead. Takes Kickoff Horning returned the third- quarter kickoff 51 yards up the middle to the Clemson 34, but the Terps lost ground on each of the next four plays and Tamburello punted out of bounds on the 19. Clemson again moved the ball well in the middle of the field, scoring the three first downs before being forced to punt over the Maryland goal.

Neither team could make head way the rest of the period although Maryland got possession on an intercepted pass and Clemson on a fumble. But as the third period was clos ing, with Maryland ahead, 13-0, Clemson again mounted a drive which ended when the Terps held on downs and took over on their own 9. O'Dell Gets First Down Maryland couldn't gain and Beightol punted out and a fair catch was called on the Clemson 49. The Tigers made jone first down on O'Dell's smashes, then gambled on fourth down and lost the ballxto Maryland on the Terps' 32. Again Maryland stalled and Walker punted to King who was downed on his own 17.

The Terps held and Dare returned Pagliei's punt 12 yards to the Clemson 34. Two runs by Dare and Boxold's incomplete pass made it fourth down for the Terps on the 29. Bielskl then booted a field goal from a slight angle to the left. He stood on the 39-yard line. i GEORGIA TECH WINS, 20 TO 0 Thompson Stars In Rout Of Alabama Eleven Atlanta, Nov.

13 (JP) Jimmy Thompson, smallest man on the field, and his speedy sophomore teammates sliced the nation's leading defense to shreds today and hauled Georgia Tech to a 20-to-0 football victory over Ala- baba. The lightning-fast Tech attack. paced by the 5-foot-6, 150-pound Thompson, consistently bewildered the bigger, slower Alabama defenders. Thompson, Paul Rotenberry, George Volkert and Johnny Menger all sophomores treated a sellout crowd of 40,000 and a nationwide television audience to one of the better offensive shows of the season. Races 45 Yards Thompson, from Bessemer, and rubbing it in on his home State for passing him up, scored two touchdowns and twisted and squirmed his way for the major share of Tech yardage in the one-sided Southeastern Conference victory.

Rotenberry raced 45 yards for Tech's first touchdown with the game scarcely a minute old. He was sprung loose on the "belly play" with the help of faking by Fullback John Hunsinger. Alabama failed to score for the third consecutive game, running the Crimson Tide's string of score less quarters to 14. The Tide last scored in the second quarter of a 12-7 loss to Mississippi State, October 23. Shake Loose With Punts Punt returns of 34 yards by Thompson and 55 by Menger helped keep the Engineers in Alabama territory during almost all of the first half.

Thompson, running like a lad with a stolen watermelon and the farmer in close pursuit, set up the second score when he ran a Bobby Luna kick back to the Alabama 27 late in the first period. He carved out 15 vards a mo ment later and then scored from the seven, although hit by a beefy Alabama lineman at the one. Burton Grant converted. The little man scored Tech's third touchdown in the third quarter, going five yords off tackle to climax a 14-play 60-yard ground drive. Wade Mitchell added the extra point.

One Threat By Tide Until today, Alabama was the best defensive team in the nation. The husky Crimson Tide had limited eight foes to 33 points. Its pass defense had yielded an avarage of only 39.3 yards per game, but Tech completed four the first half for 53 yards. Tech offensive superiority was so pronounced that the Engineers punted for the first time late in the third quarter. I Alabama mounted only one seri ous threat.

The Tide moved 56 yards to the Tech 17 in the second quarter, going mostly on the ground with second-string backs Cecil Ingram and Bill Hollis carrying. But Quarterback Bart Starr overthrew Halfback Corky Tharp, who was in the clear at Tech's 10, and Tech took over on downs. Coyle Blocks Punt Alabama never got another chance from the fierce Tech de fense, led by Guard Franklin Brooks and Center Larry Morris, until End Dan Coyle blocked Menger's punt in the fourth quarter and the Tide got back in business briefly around the Tech 35. Nothing came of it, mainly be cause of a 15-yard penalty for piling on.

Rotenberry, Thompson 2. Conversions. Granf By EDWARD Continued from that stalled after several first downs. The Tigers deepest penetration was to the Maryland 9 in the fourth quarter when they lost the ball on downs. Terps March To Score After see-saw action in the first quarter, Maryland took over on downs on its own 19 and marched to a touchdown in five plays.

Waller made the first of his brilliant scoring runs in this drive. With the ball on the Maryland 39, he took a handoff and slanted off right tackle, then sprinted down the right sideline for 61 yards and the score. With just 35 seconds to go in the first period, George Albrecht place-kick was wide to the right. It seemed that that would wrap up the scoring for the first half, but with 15 seconds to go, Charley Boxold passed to Waller in the left flat. He crossed the field to the right sideline and, getting rear-perfect blocking, all the way on a 56-yard play.

Albrecht delivered a key block at the 20. Clemson Dominates Play Until then, the period had been dominated by Clemson which held the ball for 12 plays, cover ing 74 yards before being stopped by Bob Pellegrini's interception cf Quarterback Don King pass on the Maryland 12. The third period was confined mostly to midfield action, but as it ended, Clemson had gotten under way for what was to be its deepest penetration. This time it was Guard Tom McLuckie who threw Fullback Neuf Ankuta for the loss that gave Maryland the ball on downs on its own nine. From there, an exchange of punts gave the Terps the ball on the Clemson 29, from where isiel-ski kicked his field goal just before the end of the game.

The Terps bottled King's receivers, allowing him only three completions in 12 passes. Fullback Billy O'Dell, of Clem son, was the top ground gainer of the game, with 81 yards on 19 carries. Waller was given the ball just six times and rolled up 65 yards to stand second best.

Palahunik Stops Threat Clemson won the toss and elected to receive. Maryland chose the North goal. The Tigers immediately started out as though they mean't to march right through the Terps. With Wells, Pagliei and Dell banging away at the line, they rolled up three first downs, but were stopped when Palahunik threw O'Dell for a 3-yard loss on a fullback delay. However, the Terps could do little after getting possession on their 13 and Tamburello punted.

Clemson made a first down in three plays and when King passed to Pagliei who sprinted down the right sideline to the Maryland 13 where he was stopped by Horning. The play covered 38 yards. King Fails On Passes That was the end of the Clemson penetration as Pagliei was thrown for a loss by HaitDacK joe Horning and Tackle Dick Shipley, and three King passes were broken up in the end zone by Quarterback Frank Tambureno and Waller. Maryland then went into action and scored in five plays, with Waller taking a handoff off right tackle and bursting into the clear for a 61-yard scoring jaunt. Al- brachts placement was to the left and Maryland led, 6 to 0 with 35 seconds to go in the first quarter.

The Buckeyes started their second quarter touchdown drive at their 28 after a punt exchange and covered the 72 yards in three plays. Hubert Bobo went for 3 and Vatkins for 4. Then Cassady took a pitchout and seesawed down the right' sideline for 68 yards. Murakowski Scores The biggest gainers in Purdue's two first-half drives that failed were a pass play from Leonard Dawson to Rex Brock that covered 32 yards and a 29-yard pass from Dawson to Bill Murakowski.

Watkins gained and lost the ball on successive plays early in the first quarter. He intercepted a Dawson pass on the Ohio State 31, then fumbled to Purdue's Jim Whitmer on the 42. That started the Boilermaker drive that fizzled out on the Boilermaker 13. Purdue covered 64 yards in eight plays for its third quarter touchdown by Murakowski. Dawson, who had thrown 14 touchdown passes to lead the nation, didn't add to his total but completed a couple of short ones in the drive.
