Ohio State was blasted out of the nation's football leadership this afternoon by an inspired Wisconsin eleven which erased the Ruckeye's previously unbeaten slate, 17 to 7, before 4.1,000 delirious Hadger fans who packed every crevice of Camp Randall stadium.

Wisconsin' victory, preserving its own unbeaten record and moving the Radgers into unquestioned gridiron supremacy in the mid west, was clear-cut and decisive. It was an upset, if any game in this 1042 season ran still be called that, but was fully earned and deserved. Roth teams were rated among the best in the nation as they i i Jim Fenton Slar of Late Dayton Rally BY SI IU KICK Daily News Sports Editor 'J'HINGS weren't going too well for University of Dayton's Flyers Saturday night late in the third period. Marshall College's "Thunderlcss" Herd, a non-winner all year, was proving a surprisingly stubborn foe and the score was tied. Then, in desperation, Coach Raujan mustered Jim Fenton, a senior halfback; Dick Strugarck, senior end, and French LaFleur, sophomore quarterback, into the action, and the situation suddenly changed.

This trio inspired Dayton to two quick fourth-period touchdowns and the Flyers went on to win by a score of 20 to 13, to the delight of a Homecoming crowd of 6500. Dayton had scored first in the opening period on a personally-conducted tour by "Xenia Hill" Knisley, but Marshall had recovered a fumble in the end lone early in the second period to tie the game up at 7 to 7, which is where it ended at half-time. Knisley, however, had suffered an injured leg during the course nf his opening touchdown march and flight, and without him, the Dayton attack seemed to bog down against a Marshall team that was giving its best performance of the year. "Xenia Bill" sat it out in his street clothes during the entire second half. And it was not until the arrival ff Fenton and his two companions that the Flyers were able to snap out of their doldrums.

Then, suddenly, Dayton linemen began to charge, Dayton rushes to make progress, and Dayton passes to click. Marshall's second touchdown, by the way, came after the score had jumped to 20 to 7, the result, of an Intercepted pass by Frankie Gatski, that covered 67 yards in all and s. iT. entered today's tussle.

After Ohio Slate had scored Its lone touchdown early in the last quarter it was llirsch again who put the game on ice for the llndger with a 15-yard scoring pass to Wisconsin's captain and ail-American end, Dave Schreiner.

A stubborn navy team, loser of three games earlier this season, held Notre Dame's vaunted fighting Irish to a 9 to 0 victory today in the 12th renewal of their annual gridiron series before 70,00 in the Cleveland stadium.

The Midshipmen, with an assist from the weather man, wrecked Notre Dame's celebrated passing attack, holding Angeln Itertelli to two complete forward passes In 10 tries for a total gain of only 15 yards. Itertelli, the Irish passing ace who figured so prominently in last week's victory over Illinois, was held to a one-yard gain on the power which brought victory over Michigan a week ago after two early season setbacks and the Gophers dominated the game from the time Frickey took a punt and swept 76 yards through the startled Northwestern eleven. The Wildcats fought hard from the start, but Frickey and the breaks were against them. Neither of the teams had their big offensive stars in the lineup a disappointment to the crowd of 88,000, Pig Rill Daley, Minnesota's power runner, played only briefly at the start of the game and then retired to nurse an injury received The celebrated Frankie Sinkwich threw all the passes and his co-cotton picker from Youngstown, Ohio, George Poschner, made brilliant catches of two of them for touchdowns. The final Georgia touchdown was scored by Andy Du-dish, a corn-pone wrangler from Hreslau, who scooped an Alabama fumble on the fly and ran 30 yards to the goal line.

After each of the touchdowns, Leo Costa, a native of Athens, neatly place-kicked the extra point. When Georgia finally got around to winning this ball game most of its articulate supporters had given score with the aid of an offside penalty. Statistically, the Flyers had all the better of the going. They led In first downs, 21 to fi; in rushing, 213 yards to 99; picked up 104 yards on six completed passes, as Marshall, trying only two, gained not an inch through the air. This was Dayton's sixth victory In seven games.

It was thrown in the final period when the score was 7 to 7.

Iowa angle squarely between the uprights to put. Notre Dame beyond the threat of a tie or a one-point defeat by the Midshipmen, Corwin Clatt, six-foot fullback from East Peoria, stole the spotlight, from tho popular liertelli in the Notre Dame offensive. His consistent line smashes late in the demonstration that never was heaten by Sammy IJaugh or Cecil Isbell, virtually pinning the hall on the wishbones of the' Davis boys, Van and "Racehorse," who were the principal prc-touchdown receivers. The key play was the last of the third quarter. When (Ieorgia earlier In the season; Northwest-j ern, too, was handicapped because Ot to Graham, passing star, nisi; benched by injuries, Minnesota took advantage of scoring drive, which moved yard, on 15 plays without the Ohioans giving up thn ball.

Several times the Ruckeye reeled off two or three consecutive first down and appeared to be started on similar marches, but each time the Wisconsin defense held lis own. Every man in the Radger line charged and tackled viciously, but Schreiner, Tackles Rob Raumann and Paul Hiersbrunner and the Wisconsin backerg-up, Harder and Quarterback Jack Wink, broke up most of the Ohio plays. Wisconsin out rushed the Ruck eye 242 yards to 2il0, but this net advantage of 12 yards is not an accurate measure of the Radger superiority. Again and again Ohio State moved 30 or 40 yards in their own territory, only to be halted when tho Wisconsin goal line loomed into view. The Radgers played cautiously in their own territory, several times punting on second down, but moved to the attack with sudden ferocity when a brilliant run by llirsch or Harder or a break of (O.NTIM O.N -A(iE COt.t'MN 1 COMPLETE GRID SCORES ON PAGE 7 had taken the ball on its own six i breaks to punch over two touch apparently was mired on the Ala first period with three first trawl litiA uftni a touchdowns in every period and their 10th victory in the 28-game series between the schools.

The Illini, victors over Minnesota and Iowa, tied the score at seven-all in the second period but couldn't check Michigan's seemingly endless supply of tshifty, hard-running backs. It was Michigan's second western conference triumph. Tommy Michigan's standout halfback from Gary, pushed the Wolverines into the lead with 27 seconds left to play in the first quarter with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Paul White. Two sophomore backs, P.ob Wiese, tailed in the second and third periods and Ilnh Stnberg, fourth-string back from Chicago, scored the last touchdown on a plunge from the one-foot line. ii iv uv bama 38, fourth down and nine to I downa in succession set the stage go, every one in the park knew for Hcrtelli's touchdown in the next 1 1 i'ii inn nini jr vi 1 1 1 some spirited running, returned 32 yards to the 33.

Including that punt return, Knisley handled the ball on 10 of 13 Dayton maneuvers, personally accounting for 78 yards in all. On three plays from the 33, one over the middle, one inside left tackle and one around left end, he made 11 yards and a first down. Three more plays made it first down on the Marshall 43, hut this time Don Pinciotti contributed a gain of three.
