JF In a blood and thunder thriller, an infuriated Ohio State team came from behind today and fought with all Its power to keep its Western conference record unblemished. Trailing the down-trodden Chicago Maroons, 13 to 0, midway in the third period of their game, the Buckeyes cut loose with a smashing, passing drive that resulted in three touchdowns, and a 20 to 13 triumph.

The win kept the Tennessee ns seasons record of no losses and no ties Intact while it. was the third straight defeat for the Murray squad. The Kentuckians pushed over their lone tally In the last two minutes of the game. Two quick passes in the opening period gave the visitors a 8 to 0 lead soon after the game began. Smltherman, quarterback, shot two passes to Fullback Baskin for 22 yards each to mark up the initial tally.

Ohio State got the victory and remained undefeated in Big Ten competition.

But the glory of the game belonged to Jay Berwanger, captain of the Maroons and sometimes called the one-man team. The great Chicago halfback raced 85 yards down the field through the whole Buckeye team, dodging and twisting in the snakiest gallop seen on Stagg Field since the famed Red Grange sped over the gridiron ten years ago. That hair-raising run gave Chicago its second touchdown and a 13 to 0 lead over the Ohioans in the third. But Berwanger wasn't quite enough to combat the powerful last-period attack. Ordinary football players for three periods, with the Maroons fighting and stopping them, the Buckeyes became the famed Scar and Johnson doing most of the ball toting behind almost perfect interference, put the Oats on the tne destruction.

Mayfield barely made a first down in 4 tries, but that was enough to give the Cards courage, and from then on they could not be stopped. A succession of laterals and. forwards took the ball to Hop-town's 10 from where Maddox tossed a forward over the goal line to Thomasson for a touchdown. Watson placekicked goal and the Mayfield fans woke up. Hoptown took the next kickoff and could do nothing with the ball; so Keller punted.

That was the wrong thing to do, because Andrus, his Injured neck protected by a special brace, was waiting for the punt and his teammates were waiting for the Hoptown ends, The Hoptown ends were blocked out at the line of scrimmage and when Andrus caught the 50-yard punt he was all by himself.

Pandemonium reigned in the east-side stadium where Hoptown's rooters and band sat and stood alternately. Their enthusiasm was not dimmed when. Keller again missed a dropkick. To the football coaches and writers in the stands and the fans Who were students of the game, a 12-0 lead for Hopkinsville seemed mountainous because of the presence in that club's lineup of Keller, a master quarterback and the greatest punter this section has seen In many years. But Mayfield came roaring back in the third quarter aa if it were Notre Dame romping against Ohio State in that memorable quarter last Saturday, Only by throwing caution to the winds and doing such unorthodox tricks as tossing laterals and forwards in their own territory and running on fourth down did Mayfield finally assert itself.
