(Exclusive) Wisconsin's Badgers came up through mud, rain and snow flurries on Iowa's field this afternoon and paced on their way to ward a Big Ten championship. Outwei supposedly outclassed because of their opponent's victories over Chicago, Minnesota and Ohio State and doped as only a weak starter on a muddy field the blazing Cardinal flashed across an otherwise dismal scene to eclipse Iowa's champl i hopes by a margin of 13 to 0. And It happened this way because Bill Lusby, a light, shifty back tore 65 yards through the mud and Iowa's beefy defenders Nto a touchdown in the third quarter and because Mayes Mc-Lain the one-eighth Cherokee Indian dropped a ball that George Casey, a substitute end, smothered behind the Hawk-eye goal in the final period. A point on the latter touchdown was aCded by Joe Kresby's toe to complete the wreckage. No grid battle on which an eventual title hinged ever was staged under more unimpressive conditions, When the youthful, hopeful warriors stepped onto the gridiron it was well submerged by twenty-four hours of rainfall and the rain was still coming down.

Few over 12,000 doughty spectators, one-quarter of them still enthusiastic after their long trek from the Badger stronghold were huddled under whatever protection their law of self-preservation taught them was best. Added to the discomfiture was a still wind from the north which before the third quarter had turned the rain into snow. And while the spectators fought their own fight against the. elements eleven ever-changing Hawk-eyes and eleven Badgers changed with equal rapidity were sloshing, tumbling, rolling, fumbling and fighting in mud that made them all look like Just so many blackened individuals engaged hi struggle that appeared to have no' purpose.

17. Never did a football team fight harder than Notre Dame on the mud and water of Cartler Field today. But all the fight and all the courage the Irish could develop was Inadequate, and they lost to a big, powerful, smart and clever team from Carnegie Tech by a score of 27 to 7. The Scotchmen made history in their victory over the Irish. They are the first team that has defeated Notre Dame on its home field in twenty-three years, and this is the first Rockne-coached eleven that ever has been on the losing end three times in one season.

The 25.000 who packed every Inch of the stands saw an hour of breath-taking football with the result in doubt until the fourth quarter was half under way. Perhaps more thrilling football g-amss have bnen played somev.l'ere on some field, but it is hard to imagine one. IRISH LOOK BAD Carne-ie is a brainy, aggressive and teami Few football foes ever have made Notre Dame look bad but the team, developed bv Coach Walter Steffen of Chicago ooon. Th-? battle was mostly along the ground. It was man to man and body to body, savage and clean, fought with unremitting fierceness minus any display of rancor.

showed Notre Dame a set of backs that looked the equal of the "Four Horsemen." Harpster, the quarterback, is a wonder. Tb way he cross-fired those Notre Dame tackles, pounded the middle of the line until the defense bunched and then outflanked the Irish, was an unusual display of gridiron brains. HARPSTER STARS Harpster wasn't satisfied with directing his team's attack. He passed, punted, carried the ball for several long gains and did his share of the blocking. Karcis, a giant fullback, was un-lopable.

So were the halfbacks, Moorhead and Letzelter, a big, roaring space-charging line to help them, they were a menace aH the vay. Notre Dame, apparently suffering from anticlimaxitis, following, its victory over the Army, found out early in the first onarter that Carnegie was every bit as good as the scouts had reported. No're Dame kicked off to Carnegie's 30-yard l'ne, and, after two line, plays a'led, Harpster slipped a pass to Rosenzweig, who raced down the right side of the field to Notre Dame's 21-yard line before downed. The play was timed perfectly. Rosenzweig playing left end, cut across bsh'nd the Notre Dame line, outsped the Irish secondary and caught the ball at his finger tips.

On the next play Letzelter dashed off left tackle for a touchdown. Harpsters kick was low. WHIRLWIND ATTACK Even this whirlwind attack caused Bo consternation in the Notre Dame stands.

Touchdowns for Trojan Squad BY PAUL LOWRY Southern California cleared another tough hurdle in its march to the Coast championship by beating the Washington State Cougars, 27 to 13, in one of the wildest and wooliest football games since Noah took the animals into the ark. As a demonstration of great football yesterday's battle in the Coliseum, which attracted 50,000 persons to the big bowl, will never rate hish with the historians. There were too many fumbles, too many errors both of omission and commission. But as a spine tickler the struggle was ariot. There was a thrill a minute.

The Trojans won because they displayed an almost uncanny ability to gobble up Washington State fumbles and because the Cougars had no adequate defense for Russ Saunders's bullet-like forward passes when touchdowns were in sight. EARLY LEAD The Trojans got oft to an early lead by scoring twice in the second period once on a forward pass to Thomas and again on a long run-back of a punt by Duffleld. The Cougars couldn't quite match this, but did score once Just before half time on a line plunge by Jones. This came ort fourth down with 2 yards to go and lesa than a minute to play. Bringing everybody to their feet a long run by Rohwer in the third period tied the score, but soon afcer the Cougars 'imbled Southern California into a.

er touchdown, Tap-paan carryini ie ball over. The final Trojan score came in the last period when Mortenson intercepted a forward pass and Saunders fired a pass to Tappaan. Hibbs kicked all but one of the goals. Standing out in a maze of thrilling runs were the downs scored by Duffleld of the Trojans and Rohwer of the Cougars. Duffleld captured a punt In the second period which he raced back 75 yards for a score, and Rohwer more than matched this sprint at the opening of the third period, when he took the kick-off and carried It down the held 95 yards for a touchdown.

Sprinkled in between were little runs of forty yards and sixty yards, respectively, by Buckley and McDonald of the Cougars both run-backs of punts. Then there was a 30-yard run by (Continued on Page 2, Column 6) WASHINGTON STATE (13 a Hansen Dressel Schwartz Graham E. Hansen Speidel Hill Rohwer Horan Lainhartt L.

HUGHES STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. 17. Herbert C. Hoover, Presidentelect of the United States, saw Stanford beat Washington, 12 to 0, today before a crowd of about 20,000. And, like everyone else who saw the game, Mr.

Ho er gave Washington and especially Chuck Carroll, credit for putttog up a wonderful battle. Stanford Is supposed POP WAttWER have the most powerful attack of any team in the West, but so stput was the Washington defense, that Stanford had to take to the air to score its two touchdowns. Passes from Bill Simkins to Mush Muller spelled disaster for Washington. For nearly three-quarters of the game Washington battled Stanford toe to toe, with neith- (Contlnned on Page 3, Column 5) passing from the grid picture. Bad knees, the bugaboo of football players, have bothered Charley off and on all season.

Two years ago he had a trick hinge on one leg and this season the other one went blooey on him. For ssveral weeks he has been playing on nerve alone. A fighter from the drop of the hat, Boren refused to quit, carrying on despite the terrific handicap under which he labored. Howard Jones, In commenting on Boren's tough luck, said after yesterday's game: "Charley Boren might have been a truly great football player. As It Is I rank him as one of the games men that ever took orders from me.

No man ran do his Job effectively when handicapped as Boren has been, but he can give witn a spectacularly versatile at tack-that had the Bin a hat. tered and badly beaten when this (Continued on Page 3, Column 4) SCORE BY QUARTERS Southern California 0 13 7 727 Washington State 0 6 7 013 Scoring: Southern California Touchdowns, Thomas, Duffleld, Tappaan (2.)
