It was Georgia's seventh straight victory of the season, and the Bulldogs' 13th in a row since Alabama humbled them a year ago. For Alabama it was the first defeat of 1942.

Trailing, 0-10, going into the last quarter, Sinkwich twice connected for touchdowns to his one-time Youngstown (O) school boy pal to hurl back the Crimson Tide. Then Andy Dudish, substitute halfback, scooped an Alabama fumble out of the air to score the coup de grace. Leo Costa, Georgia's place-kicking expert, booted the extra points. 'Barna Scores Early 'Bama had seized the initiative in the first quarter, when speedy Russel Craft, Alabama's great wingback, scooted 47 yards through right tackle, and cut back to cross the goal line standing up. George Hecht kicked the extra point for a seven- point lead.

The field goal came early in the third period, after a 67-yard drive stalled on Georgia's six. Two line plunges saw 'Bama pushed back to the 12, and Hecht booted the ball over frqm the 20 on third down. it Georgia wouldn't stay With daring which the sam had shown repeatedly dur- the game, Sinkwich opened with a barrage of passes passes which pre-game spec- tlation had tabbed as the at- which could beat 'Bama, if could.

The Buckeyes had one good scoring chance, and cashed it in. The headline makers were big Marlin (Pat) Harder, fleet Elroy Hirsch and All-American end Dave Schreiner, but it was a brilliant team victory for Wisconsin. Ohio State's vaunted running attack, which had mauled out triumphs over Fort Knox Southern California, Indiana' Purdue and Northwestern, piled up a lot of yardage, but when danger threatened, Badger linemen and secondary defenders combined to take charge.

The victors dominated the game throughout, but lacked a final punch until Murphy's 12- yard scoring toss to Lamar Blount late in the third period. The score came on third down, goal to go. State ran up and down the field for most of the contest, but Monk Gafford's great punting and his brilliant handling of the ly Hillenbrand does for Tn is run, pass, kick, receive passes and call signals. He also blocks and tackles with aplomb. Bored with this inactivity, Hillenbrand centered the ball in the Indiana-Pittsburgh game when ball-snapper John Tavener dropped back to boot a field goal.

Taking a whirl at the other end, Hillenbrand has succeeded in three or four conversion attempts. POTENT POLE: Marquette is beating the drums for sophomore halfback (take a deep breath) Johnny Stryzykalski. The Polish land of Milwaukee has averaged 4.6 yards per try on rushing; 43.2 yards per kick; completed 20 of 42 passes for 256 yards; passed for five touchdowns; and scored five himself. "Never saw a boy so fearless and reckless," says Coach Tom Stidham. Amusing sideline is that Strzy- kalski chirps Polish key words during practice and his mates have picked up the language.

Quite confusing to the opposition, they report. 1 1 1 kept the winners away from the goal line for most of the game. Gafford furnished both of Auburn's scoring chances with two fine runs, the first a 25-yard punt return to the State 24, and the second with a 35-yard gallop from scrimmage. Both times he was nailed by the last man. In each instance, however, the victors were more than equal to the occasion, smothering the Tiger passing attack.

Football Results (By The Associated Press) EAST Penn 19. Army 0. Westchester 6, Albright 0. Boston College 47, Georgetown Wisconsin fought a 7 to 7 tie with Notre Dame, then conquered Marquette, Missouri, Great Lakes and Purdue, to come up to today's all important test undefeated. The biggest crowd in Camp Randall's history saw the two top teams of the Big Ten battle through a scoreless first period, then went crazy as Wisconsin as Wisconsin took a lead it never relinquished early in the second.

Hirsch started the first pay off march with a brilliant 59- yard dash to Ohio's 21. Harder and Hirsch battered to the nine, and three plays later Harder burst through the middle of the Buckeye wall for the touchdown. He added the point. A weak punt by Tom Cleary, Buckeye reserve back, gave the ball to the Badgers on their 47 near the end of the session. Hirsch got off a neat 19-yard run around left end, but the Buckeyes slowed down the ground attack on their 18.

Harder then stepped back to the 27-yard line and gave Wisconsin a 10 to 0 margin by booting a field goal. Relying on the running of Fekete and Horvath, Ohio moved to its 32 in the last minutes of 0. QUAKERS SPOIL ARMTSRECORD Penn Defeats Cadets 19-0 Before 68,000 Fans By RALPH BOWLAND DURHAM, N. Oct. Tech stayed in the thinning ranks of the nation's undefeated teams today by defeating Duke University 26 to 7 before a homecoming crowd of 26,000.

It was the first time in the 10 year old series that the Yellow Jackets had won on Blue Devil soil and they did it with a three touchdown splurge in the second quarter and another march into pay dirt just before the final gun. Ralph Plaster kicked two extra points. Duke opened the scoring in the first quarter when Moffatt Storer raced 55 yards on a reverse from Buddy Luper. Bob Gantt converted. Georgia Tech, a great team today, was at its peak in the second quarter.

Pass Is Good Freshman Clint Castleberry passed to Jack Marshall for 21 yards and Plaster hit the line for five. Castleberry made two more yards and Pat McHugh crashed through for five to the Duke 20. Plaster rammed through center for a touchdown, but Jack Helm's try for the point was no good. Bobby Sheldon, on the next pay-off drive, returned Storer's punt 63 yards to the Duke 11. Rabbit Jordan gathered in Eddie Prokop's pass over the goal, but again Helms missed the point.

Tech tallied again after Storer fumbled a bad pass from center on fourth down. Tech took over on the 15 and on the first play Prokop passed to Jordan for the touchdown, it was a narrow squeak because Jordan knocked the ball into the air and caught it as it feU. Plaster converted. day, and grabbed a tingling in-, tersectional duel, 13-0, with brilliant Tommy Mont in the starring role. The crowd of about 10,000 was pulled ta the edge of its collective chairs right off the reel when the fast-stepping 'Gators traveled 78 yards in 10 plays to the Maryland two.

only to lose the ball when Halfback Jack Jones fuOibled a lateral. That respite brought Maryland out of It, and the Liners staved off several determined Florida thrusts during the rest of the first half. Things Different But the second half was just the opposite, with the cagey Mont, aided by a set of hard running backs and glue-fingered ends, rampaging to touchdowns ta. both the third and fourth periods. Midway of the third Elmer Rigby started Maryland off with a slicing dash from his 43 to the Florida 22.

On fourth down, Mont sailed a pass to Halfback Jack Mler on the 24 yard 'Gator side line, and he stepped down the chalk to score. Tossin' Tommy, after one play, shot a rifle aerial to Bob James on the Southerns' 10 and the speedy wingman kept right on going into the end zone. Mont converted by placement on the first touchdown but was wide on the second. Almost Score Ayaln With only about three minutes left, Mont intercepted another of the Florida aerials on the 'Gator 48, and ran to the 40, there was a 5 yard penalty, but Mont zinged a pass to sub-halfback Lou Chacos on the 10. Jack Brenner shot another aerial to Chacos on the six.

Barnes fumbled, however, on the two to save Florida from being scored on again.

I 100 AS SEEN IN OUR WINDOWS Fighting Irish Add Navy To Victims Of Their Comeback Try CLEVELAND, Oct. 31--(fl)-Notre Dame's Fighting Irish, beaten and tired in early-season contests, continued on the comeback trail to the football heights today by defeating a stubborn Navy eleven 9 to 0 for their fourth straight conquest. The Notre Dames struck for a touchdown in the first two minutes of the second period, sending their "pitching" quarterback, Angelo Bertelli, over from the one-yard line on a sneak play, after a 50-yard march. They clinched it with a 17-yard field goal from placement in the fourth session by quarterback Tom Creevey.

Although a few more than 72,000 tickets had been sold for the i classic, the actual crowd did not reach that figure. The best guess was that about 65,000 fans were in the huge lakefront stadium. Bucknell 13, Lafayette 7. Columbia 14, Cornell 13. Delaware 19, Penn Military 14.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct, --Penn's power-packed football forces bided their time for two periods today and then struck swiftly and surely three times in the second half to dump Army from the list of the nation's unbeaten teams 19-0 before an estimated throng of 68,000 in Franklin Field.

The Quakers' victory was clean cut and decisive, even though two of their three touchdowns resulted from pass interceptions deep in Army territory. Army's vaunted offense, which had clicked so effectively in four the third period, and kept right on going in the fourth. A couple of passes, George Slusser to Horvath and Horvath to Bob Shaw, gave the Bucks a first down on the 11 and from there Sarring- haus went over on fourth down and Fekete kicked the point.
