McCORMICK (State Journal Sports Editor) Wisconsin's football team acted the part of pracious hosts Saturday afternoon as they helped Northwestern chalk up a 27-7 victory before a crowd of people at Camp Randall.

A crowd held to 63,199 by a cold drizzling rain sw Minnesota's "giants of the north" hand the Ohio State Bucks their second Western Conference defeat of the season and virtually assure the Big Ten of a new football champion.

Ohio State is the defending title-owner. Bruce Smith was Minnesota's ball-carrying artist. The speedy halfback sparked a 42-yard drive for the first touchdown rarly In the first period and made the second touchdown at the beginning of the second quarter. After losing the ball a half vard from Minnesota's goal in the first period, the Bucks got the ball again and drove 80 yards into Gopher territory, scoring on a pass from Don Scott to Charley Anderson, Negro end, with only 14 seconds left in the first period. The Bucks, aided by Scott, reached the Minnesota 6 in the third period but lost the ball on downs when Anderson, standing in the end zone, missed a pass from Sc tt.

With only two minutes to go, the Ohio eleven again struck within inches of a touchdown when Scott swept right end and was run out of bounds by Bobby Paff-rath of Minnesota on the one-yard mark. A bad pass from center to Jim Langhurst caused Ohio to lose 13 yards. Two pass plays availed nothing. It took Minnesota seven plays and 3 minutes to register its first touchdown. Behind good blocking, Smith scampered 13 yards to the Ohio 25.

After George Franck and Bob Sweiger pounded their way to the Ohio 10, Smith faded back as though to pass, then cut sharply down the field kicking off tacklers to score standing up. He failed on the try for extra point. The second Gopher touchdown was almost a duplicate. It took eight plays to march 72 yards for the touchdown. Smith ripped off 21 yards, zig-zagging through the Ohio secondary.

Franck and Bill Daley carried the ball on plunges then Smith was off again. Cutting through right tackle, he went 22 yards before being brought down on the Ohio 13. The next play he cracked center to the five and then to the three. Smith dove through the line for a second touchdown. Gordon Pachka converted.

The Bucks made 287 yards gained on the ground compared to Minnesota's 231 and scored 16 first down to 10 for the Gophers. The lineups: Ohi Mai Minnesota eneeron L.E...... Ringer Darnell Wlldung Bruckner L. Kuusisto White Bjorklund Nosker R. Paschka fctepner-aon R.

(U.R) A revitalized Indiana university team stunned Iowa with a lightning first period attack and an air-tight defense Saturday to score a Western Conference upset, 10 to 6, before a homecoming throng of 18,000. Indiana was the "team of destiny" Saturday which It was supposed to be before the season opened, and its famed passing attack cen tering around "Hurlln' Hal" Hursh was under wraps as the fighting; crimson-jerseyed team really showed its mettle.

Iowa had the br'l in Indiana's territory only three times during the game, and other than a third period touchdown scored in seven plays, the vaunted Iowa attack bogged down completely. Indiana was about to score with 'he ball on Iowa's 14 yard line as the game ended. A r(l-yrJ "i vvn gallop by Harold "lied" Zimmer, a tough right halfback, clinched the game. A few minutes earlier Hursh flipped a 41 yard pass to Archie Harris who was down on his own 10. When another pass failed to score.

Gene White dropped back to his 18 and kicked a field goal. Five finutes later Zimmer replaced Dale Swihart. On the first play, Zimmer romped 56 yards for a touchdown behind perfect interference. Not an Iowa player touched him. White placekicked for the wxtra point.

For the next two periods Indiana fought a defensive battle, taking no chances. Only once did its alertness relax. Taking the ball after a kick on their own 20, Iowa scored in seven plays climaxed by a 29-yard touchdown run around left end by Bill Gallagher. Farmer's drop kick was wide. Indiana came back in the fourth period with repeate thrusts at the Io.

goal line which included two long passes from Hursh to Haris which brought the ball as far as the Iowa 7 aided by a 15-yard penalty for tripping. Twice Indiana intercepted desperate Iowa passes thrown from deep in it's own territory. Earl Doloway nabbed the second one on his own 40, fumbled in an attempted lateral pass but Ray Dumke recovered on Iowa's 33.

Stanford Keeps Slate Clean, 26-14 PULLMAN, Wash. (U.R) Stanford university displayed power and wizardry Saturday to defeat Washington State college 26 to 14 before 22,000 fans and keep intact their unbeaten, untied record in the Pacific Coast Conference. Stanford scored one touchdown in the first period, another in the second and two more in the third. The Cougars, playing before a homecoming struck back but lacked the spark except in the first and final periods when they pushed over their touchdowns. Two of the Cardinal scoring plays were made by passes, and another was set up by the same method.

Chunky Frankie Albert, whose play and that of big Norman Standlee parked the Stanford attack, dueled with Bill Se-well of the Cougars for passing honors and finished in front. HOLY CROSS WINS, 13-7 NEW YORK (U.R) New York university's hard luck kids played their hearts out in an effort to bounce back against Holy Cross at Yankee stadium Saturday, and for awhile, 12,000 fans thought they could do it. But Holy Cross had a fiery junior halfback named Tommy Sullivan who drove the crusaders to a 13-7 triumph. The Wildcats were an alert gang of opportunists, and they manufactured four touchdowns, one of which came after they had recovered a Wisconsin fumble and another of which was set up by a pass interception. Wisconsin definitely could have won this time if It had ben able to nan onto the ball.

If Its passing had been a little sharper, and if It had been more alert on defense. The first Northwestern touchdown came on a pass play from Bill DeCorrevont to Floyd "Tuffy" Chambers that spanned 33 yards. chambers got into the clear and wasn't tfmched after he caught the ball.

reaction by DeCorrevont. He dropped back to pass, and when the Wisconsin linemen charged in too sharply he suddenly shot off to his right and swept 50 yards to a touchdown. On both those first two Northwestern touchdowns the Wisconsin defense was fooled badly. Those two enabled Northwestern to hold a 14-0 margin at the half, the extra points having been added by Jimmy Smith and George Benson. A glance at the statistics in the first half showed Wisconsin had made six first downs to North-western's two, but the Badgers were tossing4 away their chances by loose ball handling and inept passing.

There was hope for Wisconsin supporters when the Badgers scored early In the fourth quarter on a pass from fladley Hoskins to Jim Mc-Fadzean that ate up the last four yards on an 80 yard march. Fred Gage booted the extra point, and Wisconsin was back in the ball game with the score only 14-7 against it. And it was thereafter that the play came up which ruined Wisconsin's last chance. Northwestern -elected to receive, and Gage's short kickoff was downed on the Wildcats' 28. Benson made a yard on the first play and "Red" Hahnenstein was held to no gain on the second play.

It was third down, nine yards to go, and the ball on the Northwestern 29. Benson dropped back on punt formation and the gullible Badgers came pouring in to try and block the expected punt. It was no punt, however, and Benson circled end for 19 yards, placing the ball on the Northwestern 48. That play definitely shattered the final Wisconsin hopes, and It did something to th- 1r'- rp for it- BILL De CORREVONT passed, puniei, ran a 1 i 1 fmf(r, West Upsets Kenosha By MONTE MACK Madison West turned in the second upset of the week in the Big Eight Conference football race when It smashed out a 13-0 victory over Kenosha's previously undefeated eleven Saturday night at Breese Stevens field. The other upset was Madison Central's 19-0 triumph over Racine Park Friday night West and Central now are tied for first place in the Bi Eight as a reward for their assault on the unbeaten co-leaders of last week.

They have won three and lost one each. West and Central should win their games Friday night, and should be tied for the leadership when they meet a week from Friday night. West meets Racine Horlick and Central plays Janes-ville this Friday. West gave its backers many uneasy moments until Robert "Sonny" Landl crashed over from the one-yard line late in the third quarter for the first score. West has had a habit of stalling on the verge of touchdowns, and it was discouraging early in the second quarter when West missed its only scoring chance of the first half when it lost the ball inches from a touchdown.

After West got possession of the ball for the first time in the second half, it went to the Kenosha 15, chiefly on a 24-yard run by Landl, but lost the ball on the 17. A few minutes later it started another drive that picked up four first downs and wound up in the first touchdown. West, however, needed an interference penalty on a fourth down pass in the end zone to put the ball in scoring position. The penalty gave West the ball on the one, and Landl crashed over on the first play. Al Felly converted the extra point.

West's last touchdown came late In the fourth quarter, climaxing- a 50-yard drive. Joe Tauchen passed to Carl Babler for the marker, a play covering 31 yards. Coach Willis Jones flooded his West lineup with reserves during the waning minutes, and the game ended just after Bill Scholz ran 19 yards to the one yard line. West dominated play throughout the second half. It had a 10-5 edge in first downs for the game and 8-2 margin for the second half.

(U.R) Arkansas nearly coraled Cowboy Jack Crain Saturday but while they watched him, another Texan Big Pete Layden enginered two touchdowns in four minutes and led Texas to a 21 to 9 victory. Crain slipped through the tall boys from the Ozarks once to score Texas' third touchdown.

Opening its bid for the Southwest conference title, Texas stayed unbeaten and untied with three quick scores in the second period, Michigan, Harmon Gain Revenge, 28-0 ANN ARBOR, Mich. (U.R) Michigan's mighty Wolverines crushed Illinois 28 to 0 Saturday before 39,114 homecoming fans to gain revenge for their humiliating upset by an inspired Illini eleven last fall and to mark up their first 1940 Western Conference victory. Tom Harmon, Ail-American halfback whom the wily Coach Bob Zuppke of Illinois so successfully stopped last year, and plunging Bob Westfall personally led the Michigan offensive which scored almost a will against three types of defenses Illinois threw against them in vain. Harmon scored one touchdown, passed for another, booted a field goal and converted once for a total of 10 points. This sent his season total highest of any back In the nation to 79.

Westfall plunged for another Michigan touchdown and little Davey Nelson, 150-pound Dctroit-er, raced around end 12 yards for the other. All the bitterness which has been stored in Wolverine hearts since their "upset of the year" 16-7 at Champaign last season poured out in cold fury early in the game. Twice in the first period Michigan gained possession of the ball and twice it marched swiftly downfield to score. Zuppke started a seven man line but a-fter Westfall ripped it apart in the first Michigan touchdown march he changed it to a five man. That wasn't effective, either, and Zuppke, attempting to solve a problem which has not been fathomed this season by three other teams over which the Wolverines have rumbled, made a final effort with a six man line.

This seemed to hold the Michigan backs in the final period. It was raining at game time but the field had been covered and footing was firm for Michigan to swing its full running power into action. Michigan rolled up 17 first downs all by rushing to Illinois five, three of which came on passes. The Wolverines piled up 240 yards by rushing and completed two out of five pa-sses for 49 yards while the Illini made only 24 yards through the line and completed four of 16 passes far under their average for 48 yards. Harmon also had the edge over Ralph Ehni in punting, aver- HAMILTON, N.

Bluejay Rally Ties Hilltop Squad, 27-27 OMAHA, Neb. (U.R) Ten thousand hysterical homecomers were hoarse and limp at the finish as Creighton renewed its ancient rivalry with Marquette by matching the highly-favored Golden Avalanche in a thriller that ended tied at 27-all.

The Bluejays, sparked by the brilliant running and passing of Slingshot Johnny Knolla, trailed 7-0 at the half, and 20-7 towards the end of the third quarter. Creighton struck back like a cornered tiger, Knolla scoring on a 9 yard run before the third ended, making it Marquette 20, Creighton 13. Jimmy Richardson of Marquette retaliated with a 69-yard pass to Don Voaberg" for a score, but Knolla then tossed to Gene Ziesel, substitute halfback, who made a spectacular catch on the one yard line, from where Fullback Al Truscott scored. With two minutes remaining, another Knolla-Ziesel pass clicked for 65 yards and a touchdown. Tackle John Krecji, who dubbed one of his three previous conversion attempts, tied the score with an accurate kick.

Guard Bob Kemnitz of Marquette also converted three-for-four for the Milwaukeeans. As the gun ended the game, Knolla intercepted a desperate Marquette pass on the goal line and weaved 57 yard3 before he was tackled by the last Marquette defender. Creighton Krecji L. Healey L. Butts L.

pitched a touchdown pass to Steve Juzwik. Capt. Milt (The Brute) Piepul placekicked the point and the rout was on. Piepul climaxed a 44-yard march with a one yard touchdown plunge at the start of the second period. All Carnegie had in that drive was the sympathy of the crowd of most of whom had seen the Irish roll over College of Pacific and Georgia Tech on preceding Saturdays.

With one exception, Notre Dame's four second half touchdowns all were over the "earned run" variety. A pass interception of John McHale, reserve tackle, gave Notre Dame possession on Carnegie's 13. That business ended with a Crimimns touchdown from the one, with Laiber booting again. A 45-yard march ended a moment later with Crimmins hammering nine yards through left tackle, skirting the secondary, for this third touchdown. Al Lee kicked the point.

In the fourth period, Notre Dame marched 39 and 68 yards. Lee scored the eighth touchdown with a 26 yard sprint around his own left end, pounded two yards through center for the other. Offensively, Carnegie Tech was equally helpless. They reached their own 34 once in the first period, reached the again in the second, Notre Dame's 45 in the third and hit their 33 in the fourth.

(U.R) Notre Dame's power-laden Irish, six full teams each as devastating as the one it succeeded, riddled and bewildered Carnegie Tech Saturday with a flood of nine touchdowns, completing their most lop-sided conquest since 1932, 61 to 0. For nearly two periods, Notre Dame's smashing first line ripped jagged holes in Carnegie's defenses and battered the Tartans so badly they were helpless against the parade of fresh, eager Irish substitutes who raced in for their share of the Kill. It was the worst defeat in Carnegie modern football history. Notre Dame scored twice in the first period, three times In the second, twice In the third and twice In the fourth. Their charging: grew so vicious In the second period that halfbacks George Muha and Joe I'ash of Carnegie Tech were carried from the field with injuries.

It took Notre Dame just five minutes to pick out the weak spots in Carnegie's line. The first time Carnegie was forced to punt, right end Johnny O'Brien era through the secondary and blocked Frank Jordano's kick. He snatched it off the ground and raced 24 yards Into the end zone. O'Brien's kick was wide. Another punt by Jordano was blocked partially and the Irish came up with it on Carnegie's 34.

The second Notre Dame back-field, which had started with the first line, failed to gain in two plays and in went the speedboys. On the first play, Bob Saggau aging 49 yards to Ehni's 48. Mlrhisan Roger k. VVi-stert T. fritz L.
