A place-kick from the 85-yard line by Benny Friedman, one of the best quarterbacks la the country, gave Michigan a 8-to-t victory over Illinois here today before a mammoth homecoming crowd of 67,000 frenzied gridiron enthusiasts.

Fred McKale's athletes from the Copper Ktate were very dead on the hoof and failed to furnish the Trojans with anything' like the tough opposition that had been expected. The Wildcat line was very porous and stopped the smashing Trojan backs much after the manner of a sieve absorbing water. With the exception of the last portion of the second quarter, when they registered four first downs on a passing and running attack, the Arizonans were terribly busy trying to keep track of the U.S.C. ball-carriers. U.S.C.

MINUS REGULARS Coach Howard Jones opened the game without the services of Morton Kaer, Hobbs Adams and Red Badgro. It was soon apparent that none of the trio would be needed, but Badgro got into the game anyway, while injuries kept the other two on the bench throughout the afernoon. Jones figured Idaho would be prety tough Friday and didn't want to take a chance with Mort and Hobbs. The thumping handed the Vandals by Gonzaga yesterday is another up set and certainly gives the locals the call over their rivals this week end. Bill Codk, Morley Drury and Henry LeFebvre shared honors with Jeff Cravath and Brice Taylor during the afternoon's entertainment.

Cook, running the team for half the contest, scored three touchdowns and performed in a creditable manner as a signal snorter. Drury was responsible for the best play of the game, the bright spot coming near the close of the second quarter. MAKES 60-YARD RUN Howard Elliott, who had replaced Cook with the ball' on U.S.C's 45-yard line, dropped back, shot a short pass to Drury and Morley responded with a dazzling run of more than fifty yards to the Arizona goal line. He bowled over several embryo tacklers en route and In general conducted himself in a manner which made hundreds ask why Jones doesn't use him more as a ball The former Long-Beach star bad a perfect day c-f goal kicking, booting six over the cross bar in as many attempts. LeFebvre smashed the line in his old-time style and got a big cheer when his day's work was done.

P. NIGHT WIRE 1 STANFORD STADIUM, PALO ALTO, Oct. 24, The Farmers from Oregon Agricultural ploughed up the gridiron here today and sowed the seeds of victory, but the crop was a failure. In other words Stanford won the game 26 to 10. The Aggies started off with ateresting by chalking up a touch- rush that threatened to topple the Stanford Cardinals from the peak they climbed by defeating Southern California week ago.

The boys from Corvallls kicked a field goal and left the home team gasping at the wrong end of a 3-to-0 score at the end of the first quarter. But the Cardinals came back with a touchdown in the second round and another at the start of the third.

"Fullback Klein." There should be a num-C ber of subheadings making ths? names of Swelzer and Hunt rather prominent. There are two1 Sweizers, one captain and quarter and the other a half. The young men mentioned were all responsible for more than their share of the 10-to-0 victory for the Tlgetv Babes. Klein, particularly was an outstanding star of the landslide? of Coach Oak Smith's eleven even that of Fred Oster.

The Grizzly team received the first kick-off. but held the ball only I momentarily, being forced to punt from their own 6-yard line. Oxy took the ball on the 30-yard line and took it within 7 yards of touchdown, then lost 3 yards and were forced to try for a field goaf which was missed. The visitors took the ball and made their first down once, then were forced to kick. The Oxy Babes then took the ball and marched down the field for six first downs and a touchdown after an exchange of punts, Klein carried-the ball most of the time and pur it over for the first score.

They did not convert. The quarter ended Just after the Grizzlies kicked oft. In the second quarter the first excitement came when Rhoades wa7bead'ed for 'the goal with what looked like a sure touchdown. Jack Swelzer overtook him and.

The much-vaunted forward pass ing attack of the Buckeyes did not materialise. In the early part of the battle they were continually on the defensive, so had no opportunity to open up. However, when Marek came back into action the ball went sailing here and there on practically every down and some were successful, but Iowa always broke them up or intercepted before real danger threatened. On dry field it might have been different With the footing uncertain and the ball too wet to handle with safety. Iowa wisely refrained from passing In all except one Instance.

Strangely enough, that one time proved to be successful and was the entering wedge to Iowa's first touchdown. Late in the first period -after both sides had exercised extreme caution by kicking continually. Fry took the ball on Iowa's 25-yard line and like a good mud runner went tearing through Ohio's right tackle and down the field to Ohio's 14-yard line.

STANFORD BABES LOSE TO TROJANS Elliot Boots Place Kick to Break 6-to-6 Score and Win Hard Game (XXOUCniVB N3P4TCB PALO ALTO, Oct. 24. Brilliant forward passing gave ths University of Southern California freshmen a 9-6 victory over the Stanford team this afternoon, in the Cardinal Stadium.

The fast-charging U.S.C. line broke up the Stanford offense and caused the Cardinal backs to fumble repeatedly. Fox. Trojan center, recovered three of these fumbles, two being on punts. Frank Wiltoni lBO-pound Card halfback, was the individual star of the same.

His brilliant off-tackle and end runs kept the U.S.C. eleven on the defense for the greater part of the game. Stanford put over the first score soon after the start of the game. Wilton took the oval on his own 30-yard line, and. aided by good Interference, raced through the entire Trojan team without being touched.

The try for extra point by Lewis was blocked. In the second quarter a fumble by Small-ing, Card fullback, on the Sun-ford 40-yard line, gave U.S.C. possession of the balL On the second play McCashin received a 30-yard pass from Dlehl and covered the remaining distance to the goal, after eluding two Stanford tacklers. The Cardinal linemen blocked the place kick for the extra point. The U.S.C.

men broke the tie In the middle of the fouf.b quarter. A lateral pass to Ford made It first down in mid field for the southern boys. Another pass with Redfern on the receiving end was good for 26 yards. Falling to gain after three attempts. Elliot dropped back and- booted a 10-yard place kick between the uprights.

The Stanford frosh worked the ball Inside ths U.S.C. 2S-yard line, but did not the drive to put it acrosn. A 45-ysrd pass, Wilton to Smalling. in the last few minutes of play looked like a Card rally. It ws of short duration, however, for Wilton was thrown for a 0-yard loss on the next play.

Ingram was directly responsible The Idaho counter cam in the It was no day for dashing stars of the Elmer Karek and Kutsch type, so the expected duel between the two former Iowa preps did not materialize. Marek, the man whose passes and runs were counted on to carry the scarlet and gray to the coveted goal, showed his skill only In a couple of spots. Most of the time he wasn't even in action. Even Kutsch was spared the necessity of floundering around in the mud aft- er the first period, but there were others to carry on in his place The others who mounted the heights the "cowboy" had been expected to reach were Wesley Fry.
