(U.R) Seizing a Northwestern fumble in Card Defense Holds Foe in Check; Harder Rips Off 188 Yards By HENRY J. McOORMIOK (State Journal Sports Editor) Held in check for three quarters by a game but outclassed Purdue eleven, Wisconsin exploded for two touchdowns in the final period to score a 13-0 victory Saturday afternoon before a crowd of 25,000 at Camp Randall. The first Wisconsin touchdown came when Acting Capt. Dave Schreiner blocked Robert Hajzyk's punt and recovered it in the end zone; the second came when Fullback Marlin "Pat" Harder popped through a hole in the battered Purdue line and 54 yards to score.

Harder kicked the point after the first touch the third period, a sadly outplayed Notre Dame football team rolled on among the nation's unbeaten teams Saturday by defeating the inspired Wildcats, 7 to 6, before a capacity throng throughout the scorless first half second best offensive team ln.w. 3- i i i iniMiiin iiMitinr it li ii -'a Unfortunately, this remarkable action shot doesn't happen to show Marlin "Pat" Harder, Wisconsin's sensational sophomore fullback, at his best.

Harder in a better moment for there were many of them. state journal staff Photo by Robert c. oetktng Western Conference prior to this game, and the Badgers lived up to that by slashing and crunching for consistent gains. Coach Harry Stuhldreher's Wis- consin team has been know as a weak defensive team during most of the season, but the Badgers held Purdue in check handily, with some great line play and brutal tackling in the secondary, Purdue never got closer to Wis- consin's goal than the Badger 28, and that marked the only time that the Boilermakers got inside the Wisconsin 40. Wisconsin outplayed Purdue de- cisively, and the statistics reflect the extent pretty accurate'y.

The Badgers made 15 first downs to Purdue's five, and they gained 283 yards to the 115. The Wisconsin gains were most- ly at rushing where it picked up 239 yards; passes netted 49.

Ohio State 12. Illinois 7. by a viciously charging line and a blanket coverage of Notre Dame pass receivers, the Irish reu on a tumble on Northwestern's 36 in the opening seconds of the third period and two quick passes by Angelo Bertelli, the poised sophomore, produced a touchdown. Somewhere on this aerial thrust, Northwestern's amazing pass defense disintegrated and Bertelli was quick to spot the change. He pitched one good for 19 to Quarterback Harry Wright and after two line plays advanced but little he fired another to Matt Bol-ger, a towering end, who wrapped it under his arm on the one and stepped into the end zone.

Irish Outplayed Steve Juzwik placekicked the extra point that gave Notre Dame its seventh -ictory in a season blemished only by a scoreless tie with army. It was Northwestern's third defeat. That one break provided Notre Dime's only advance across mid-field until another Wildcat fumble in the closing stages of the game brought them across again for a drive that ended in downs as Northwestern bristled on its own two. Between those breaks, Notre Dame's hopes for its first unbeaten season since the days of Rockne came perilously close to an end as Sophomore Otto Graham and Bill De Correvont rolled up precious yardage on five scoring forays. Wildcats Score Racing 60 yards downfield with the kickoff after Notre Dame's touchdown, the Wildcats scored on a 4-yard plunge by Graham.

Wright broke through and blocked the attempted conversion by Dick Erdlitz, but the Wildcats seemed far from through. Pounding 19 yards with an intercepted pass, 28 more on an off-tackle jaunt, six around end and perhaps a dozen more on various shots at the line, De Correvont, the kid who never quite lived up to his scrapbooks, rushed the Wildcats so close to the Notre Dame goal at the start of the fourth period that Erdlitz tried a field goal from the 2i after the Irish had held for three downs on their 14. The kick was short. Fumble Turns Tables With 11 minutes to play, Notre Dame discovered Northwestern's plans to blanket receivers rather than to rush the ring of defense around Bertelli. It was so successful a defense that Bertelli had a net gain of three yards on six passes in the first haf.

Events turned abruptly when Fullback Don Clawson fumbled for the Wildcats on the first play after the second half kickoff. Ber-telli spotted Wright in the clear in the flat zone and Wright went 19 yards with a pass before being run out of bounds. Juzwik made three but Dippy Evans lost one. Then came another rifling pass from Bertelli. Bolger, standing on the one, leaped into the air as Graham fought for the ball, and came down with it.

With Graham off balance, Bolger merely stepped into the end zone. Northwestern made known Its intent on the next kickoff as Chambers returned 32 yards to Notre Dame's 40. Graham and an offside penalty accounted for 10 and Fullback Ed Hirsch ripped right tackle for 14 more. The anxious Irish again were offside and Graham passed 15 yards to Hirsch for a first down on the 14. From there it was Graham every play until he scored from the four.

A 23-yard pass a bit later from (Continued on page 21) Michigan 28. Columbia 0. Notre Dame 7, Northwestern 8. GAMES THIS WEEK: WISCONSIN AT MINNESOTA. Purdue at Indiana.

Bud" Seelinger was off on his passing, but the Wisconsin sophomore halfback looked like a much improved runner with 40 yards to his credit in nine attempts. Callhraro Stands Out Anybody who can see this Minnesota team play their final and don't take advantage of It ought to have his head fixed. If there ever was Mighty Gophers Us this gang folks. Wisconsin is only team left this season who can take last crack at that unbeaten Gopher record and what a job that is to lay on any coach's back porch. Wisconsin has five times better pass game than Iowa and Its only way you can ever beat them Is through the air.

It's murder hitting that line. I'd rather take two-year stretch in state prison than crack that Gopher line one Saturday afternoon. This Higgins of Gophers Is a bear rat. He can run the ends crack the line and punt with any of them. He is so small the Gophers had to get special made blanket for him.

He would smother to death under one of them big Gopher blankets. Higgins is the greatest I ever saw play for his weight folks. I got to see Minnesota again this Saturday. It's murder just to look at them if you had to play them just think of it folks. I'd shake so much my B-V-D's would come off.

Reserve Star of Hilltop Victory, 34-0 MILWAUKEE (U.R) Bob McCahill, a reserve halfback, led Marquette university to a 34 to 0 football victory over the University of New Mexico Saturday before 12,000 spectators. McCahill plunged one yard for Marquette's first touchdown after setting up the play with two 15-yard runs. In the second period his 46-yard pass to Johnny Hilde-brandt was good for another, and a 17-yard toss to Ray Carlson clicked in the third period. New Mexico's razzle-dazzle offense was held to one first down in the first half, and the visitors threatened only once, completing a 45-yard pass to the Marquette 35 just before the half ended. Marquette's other touchdowns were scored on Halfback Jim Richardson's 30-yard pass to John Harrington in the second period and a 5-yard scamper by Halfback Steve Zimmerman near the end of the game.

(U.R) Minnesota rolled on toward another Western Conference football championship Saturday and stayed in the running for the mythical national national title by defeating Iowa. 34 to 13. It was the 16th consecutive victory for the Golden Gophers and it amply avenged their last defeat, which occurred in this same to the day.

For the first few minutes it looked the 42,500 spectators would be witnesses to a major upset. Iowa quickly marched 34 yards for a touchdown after Halfback Tommy Farmer set up the opportunity by returning a Minnesota punt for 22 yards. Fullback Bill Green went over from the three and Farmer converted. Then Gophers Roll But the Bruce Smith, who was injured two weeks ago and was unable to compete against Nebraska last week, ran out and took ever the Minnesota left half spot from Little Bud Higgins. Five plays and slightly more than a minute later, Minnesota had tied the score at 7 to 7.

Smith threw two passes to Quarterback Bill Garnaas which put the ball on Iowa's three, and Bill Daley went over In the second period, with Smith contributing a 31-yard run and a pass that was good for 27 yards, Minnesota swept 95 yards to go ahead, 13 to 7. Iowa made its last serious threat a few minutes later when a fumbled pass was good for 77 yards and a touchdown. Farmer threw to Buz Mertes who caught the ball of Minnesota's 47 and then let it pop out of his hands. Quarterback Al Couppee picked it up and ran across the goal. Minnesota Oatpassed Minnesota went ahead, 20 to 13, before the half ended when Daley went ever from the 3-yard line.

The third period was scoreless, but Minnesota displayed its famed power in the final quarter to run up two more touchdowns. Higgins scored one from the 3-yard line after sparking a 56-yard drive and Garaas made the other on a 17-yard run. It climaxed a march which saw 206-pound Bob make 46 yards and four fcrst downs in four smashes through the weakening Iowa line. The power of Minnesota's backs was shown in the statistics. The Gophers made 26 first downs to nine for Iowa and gained 323 yards by rushing compared with 8 for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa's passing was superior, netting 134 yards in 16 attempts. Minnesota gained 74 yards in eight attempts through the air. Bruising Bill Daley was Minnesota's leading ground gainer with 139 yards in 28 attempts. Green was best for Iowa with 58 yards in 14 tries. Iowa Minnesota Parker L.

BRUCE SMITH down, missed after the second. Purdue came here rated the second best defensive team in the Western Conference, and the valiant Boilermakers proved that rating was no mistake thrusts four times inside their own 20 before the Badgers finally broke through. Wisconsin held ranking as the Illinois Scares Ohio State, 12-7 Zup's Tricky Stuff Almost Pulls Upset COLUMBUS, Ohio (U.RWack Graf, line-busting fullback- and a super-charged Ohio State line frustrated Bob Zuppke's gridiron magic Saturday to defeat a stubborn Illinois football team, 12 to 7, before 41,554 fans. A short kick and Illinois airplane shift set Ohio back on its heels in the first half, which ended Illinois 7, Ohio 6. But Graf, the Buckeye senior sparkplug, turned on the power in the third quarter and scored the winning touchdown less than five minutes after the kickoff.

Illinois Threatens The triumph kept Ohio State in the western conference championship picture with three victories and one loss. Shortly after the first kickoff, a short Ohio punt against a stiff breeze was downed on the Ohio 27. A pass, Dick Good to Paul Milose-vich, carried the ball to the 10. Hard-running Jimmy Smith raced off left tackle to the one-foot mark and Good went over on a quarterback sneak. Wilson's placekick was good for the extra point.

Illinois appeared on the march to a second touchdown when Graf leaped high and intercepted a pass on the Ohio 3 and charged back to the Ohio 28. Fumble Hurts Illini On the next play, Ohio uncorked some magic of its own. Graf took the ball from center and handed it to Dick Fisher who pitched a long aerial to Bob Shaw. The lanky end was in the clear on the Illinois 44 and raced unhampered the rest of the way. Midway in the third quarter Ohio started a march from its own 33 with Graf ripping Illinois apart, tackle to tackle.

A fumble by Fisher on the Illinois sever, interrupted the drive as Tony Butko-vich recovered for Illinois. On the next play Smith of Illinois fumbled and Jim Daniell Ohio tackle, grabbed it on the Illinois 8-yard line.

blocked, but he picked up the ball and carried it over for the extra point. That was all the scoring in the first half, but Stanford started the second half like the Indians of old, picking up 67 yards on six plays. The payoff play was a long pass by Albert to Pete Kmetovic. Albert then missed the vital try. After Albert had lost the ball on a fumble on his own 22, the Wash-ingtonlans moved to the 11.

A 5-yard offside penalty helped them to the six, and Fullback Bob Kennedy smashed over in two terrific plunges. Beckman kicked the extra point this time and it was the victory margin. Stanford connected in the last three minutes. Albert was injured and Sub Bob Cole engineered the score, passing to Bob Mitchell for a first down on Washington State's three. Mitchell powered It over and also converted.

Wolves Drub Columbia, 28-0 Crisler Spares Foe With Use of Subs By GEORGE KIRKSEY NEW YORK (U.R) Michigan exploded Tom Kuzma, the heralded sophomore from Gary, and Bob Westfall, spinning senior fullback from Ann Arbor, on a startled Columbia eleven Saturday and carried off a 28-0 inter-sectlonal victory before a crowd of 35,000 that jammed Baker field. Coach Fritz Crisler of Michigan was kind to Columbia. He did everything he could to keep the score down, withdrawing Kuzma and Westfall early in the third period and playing second, third and even fourth stringers most of the last half. Kuzma, Westfall Roar The Wolverines, beaten only by Minnesota, scored two touchdowns in the opening period, another in the second and their final one in the third period. All told the westerners rolled up 39 yards with the explosive Kuzma and the deceptive Westfall accounting for 257 yards.

Kuzma scored only one touch-down, but he made the Columbia line look like shredded tissue paper. In 15 attempts the Gary flash gained 169 yards while Westfall, who made three touchdowns, picked up 88 yards in 15 tries, Columbia crossed mid-field only twice, once in the first period when Paul Governali's passing took the little Blue Lions to Michigan's 30 and late in the game when they passed Wolverine reserves back to their 9, Both times Michigan interceptions got them out of the hole. Columbia Helpless Michigan scored two quick touqhdowns in the first period. The first march covered 38 yards in four plays with Kuzma smashing over from the Lions' 7, Later in the period Kuzma reeled off a 66-yard run to Columbia's 7 then Westfall went over in two smashes. The Wolverines covered 90 yards in 14 plays for their third touchdown after minutes of the second period, with Westfall bursting across from the Lions' 3.

Texas was driving with the power that had been netting it five touchdowns a game when TCU got the bail on an interception by Dean Bagley on his own nine. There were only three minutes left and 91 yards upfield to go.

After a punt exchange, Texas took over on TCU's 28. TCU held for downs again, and Nix lifted TCU out of trouble with a 34-yard run through center to the Texas 60. Nix and Bill Medanlch drove to Texas 24. With barely time for one play, Nix then shot the touchdown pass to Hall. It was Bagley, Nix and the TCU line that produced the victory.

Only once could the Texas backs, Jack Crain and Pete Lay-den get away for their customary long touchdown jaunts. They collaborated on a first period lateral which netted 36 yards and a touchdown. By ROUNDY COUGIILIN (State Journal Sports Columnist) IOWA CITY, la. Minnesota knocked off Iowa. It was Iowa until Bruce Smith came into game.

When Smith came in the Gophers went right to work and scored. Smith with one leg is still one of the game's greatest players with two legs the guy Is the world's best back. Minnesota had the smartest coached football team I ever saw play on a college gridiron Saturday. It was the smartest and best dressed up Gopher team I ever saw play. Minnesota could of beat any college team In the world Saturday by two touchdowns easy.

They would of murdered Texas and Duke Saturday. I want to salute Coach Bierman and the 35 Gophers who played in this game as being the smartest and most alert football team I ever saw in gridiron history. It was power and brains mixed together and were they ever pouring both onto that Ioway team and how. The leadership and great play by Garnaas of the Gophers stamps him as one of the greatest coming Gopher stars, of all time. He is the greatest sophomore quarterback in the whole college world.

Spartans Slay Temple, 46-0 East's All-American Suffers Miserable Day EAST LANSING, Mieh.OJ.R) Michigan State college Saturday uncorked an aerial and running attack which halted "Handy Andy" Tomasic and defeated Temple university 46 to 0 before 10,192 fans. It was the second setback for the heavy Philadelphia team. The Spartans tallied in every period.

Temple never got beyond State's 10-yard line. Temple's heralded aerial attack was the target of State's defense and Tomasic completed only six of 23 attempted passes. The 178-pound All-American candidate fumbled twice on fourth downs while in punt formation and Michigan State scored both times after recovering the ball. Mike Schelb, substitute halfback, and Fullback Bob Sherman paced the State squad, scoring two touchdowns each. Halfbacks Walt Pawlowski and Wy Davis and End Bob Friedlung also scored one apiece.

Y. Rangers 1. Toronto 2, Detroit 1, Entitled to a big slice of credit for the improved Wisconsin de- fense is Leonard Calligaro, the higV junior fullback from Hurley. He' performed at defensive center during most of the game, and his tackling was strictly of the teeth- rattling type. Encouraged by the savagery with which Calligaro and Harder were assaulting any Purdue ball carrier who poked his nose through the line, the Wisconsin I forwards steadied down and play- ed a grand game.

Bob Baumann I at left tackle, Schreiner at right end, and Patrick Boyle at left guard were particularly effective. 1 Wisconsin's first touchdown'4 at a time when Purdue was Just came early in the fourth quarter catching its breath after having I stopped a Badger drive. Francis Meakim's pass had been inter-Tr', cepted by Harder late in the third quarter and brought back about 23 yds to Purdue's 27. Wisconsin drew a penalty for too many times out, two attempt- ed passes were Incomplete, and then the Badgers uncovered their "bucket" play. This is a legal screen pass in which the five Wis- consin linemen from tackle to V-tackle hold and allow their op- ponents to come through.

On the March Seelinger lofted the ball to I Harder, and the latter ran to the Purdue 17 for a first down. Ha" might well have scored on the play if he hadn't stumbled and fell. The third quarter ended I with that play. On the first play in the fourth quarter Harder made three and then added four.

Farris attempted a pass against the tight-playing Purdue defense, but he was rushed fast, and the toss was intercepted by Walter Cook on his one; he brought it out to Purdue's seven. 4t Hajzyk dropped back into his own end zone to punt, andi I Schreiner came barrelling in from I I right end to block it.

(U.R) Texas unive-ity's dream team collapsed Saturday in the final 10 seconds of its game with Texas Christian when a 24-yard forward pass produced a 14 to 7 TCU victory and put an end to Texas bowl hopes, national championship aspirations and even a chance for the Southwest Conference title. Going into the last play of the game, the Christians had 7 to 7 tie when Emery Nix threw a long desperate forward pass to Van Hall in the end zone, sounding the swan song for the team which had been bailyhooed as the greatest ever to be produced in the southwest.

Last Saturday it was Baylor which utilized the final seconds of the game for a touchdown play which netted a 7 to 7 tie with the vaunted Longhorns.
