Stidham insisted Marquette was lucky to win: Stuhldreher admitted the invaders had a "great ball-club and did everything right, while Wisconsin had a great ball club but everything went wrong." A moment after this photo was snapped, big Tom predicted Wisconsin would come back next Saturday and whip Northwestern in the Big Ten opener for both elevens.

Northwestern veterans likewise gave a good account of themselves as the victors served notice thy have a balanced offense which will make them a dangerous challenger for hank Marquette's overwhelming victory over Wisconsin's Badgers yesterday at Camp Randall will have far reaching results.

None of which will in any way help the Badger cause. The defeat, unexpected by coaches, scouts and scribes, was a complete triumph for Marquette and Coach Tom Stidham and his aides. There was no question of which was the better team yesterday. Marquette excelled by a wide margin. Stidham did a grand job, his line playing great ball, while the unheralded ends performed in brilliant fashion.

Richardson, Goodyear, Renzel, O'Hagan, Vogt, 22 McCahill'and a host of others all played great ball. The Marquette triumph will give Stidham a big boost in Milwaukee and is certain to refire the Hilltoppers enthusiasm. Jobs for Marquette players will be far easier to find. In fact many concerns have decided to use Marquette athletes in the immediate future. Stidham is not only a capable coach, as he definitely proved yesterday, he is also a talent scout of no mean ability.

Marquette will now have a talking point after a win over Wisconsin and the battle for the leading prep school athletes of this and surrounding states will be far more intense between the two state schools in the future. Thus it will be increasingly more difficult to sell the Badger school to the youngsters. From a financial standpoint the loss will cost Wisconsin considerable in gate receipts. At least five thousand fans per game have been lost. unless we can rally and perform the superman feat of beating Northwestern next Saturday.

at Camp Randall Saturday afternoon before a record breaking crowd of 40,000 fans. It was the season's inaugural for both teams- a dismal one for the Badgers, a stunning one for the Hilltoppers. Richardson, 166 pounds of dynamite with a sterling right arm, was the main cog in a coached Marquette squad, which carried the battle to the Badgers throughout and it was Jimmy's throwing which accounted for two of Marquette's touchdowns, while his running had the Badgers worried dizzy throughout.

The Badgers pass defense was as effective as a sieve in bailing a boat.

Their tackling was pathetic as the light Hilltop backs carried Badger giants for repeated gains. Marquette, scored once in the second period, once in the third and twice in the fourth period, while the Badgers' lone marker came early in the third quarter. It was a victory of a team which functioned well nigh perfectly, taking advantage of opportunities over a disorganized eleven, with individual stars galore, but without the all essential quality, teamwork. Hilltops Well- Drilled Coach Tom Stidham, in his. first season Marquette, presented the best drilled team which Marquette ever placed on Camp Randall field.

It had everything- -poise, mental alertness, speed, drive, fine tackling, brilliant blocking and save for a few brief moments in the third quarter, a stalwart defense. Stidham, who came to Marquette from Oklahoma university last winter, modest in victory: had a few breaks at the right time. I figure we were plenty lucky. We clicked on a couple of passes in the clutch, which gave us the jump on Wisconsin. There's no doubt.

A crowd of 29,909 which braved a steady drizzle in the second half saW further scoring threats, but the punch to go over appeared to be lacking after the first-quarter march of Kuzma and Westfall. Kuzma, sophomore halfback from Tom Harmon's home town of Gary, touched off the fireworks with a brilliant 22-yard run back of a punt from Iowa's 40.

He zigzagged past half a dozen Hawkeyes before he was downed on the 18-yard line. Westfall then hit the line for gains three times and turned the ball over to Kuzma on the Iowa 3. The Gary sophomore went over for a touchdown on his second try, but Guard Bill Melzow failed to kick the extra point. The Wolverines' biggest threat thereafter took them to the one foot mark in the fourth period and was touched off by diminutive Dave Nelson, starting tailback, who re-entered for Kuzma.

Buckeyes Swarm Over Trojans, 33 to By ROBERT MYERS LOS ANGELES Heralding a possible return to. gridiron greatness. Ohio State's 1941 machine smashed the victory hopes of a proud University of Southern California eleven and walked out of the Coliseum, with the first Buckeye triumph over a Pacific Coast conference team in 20 years. Rolling up five resounding touchdowns in the first three quarters for a stunning 33-0 victory, the 111- derrated Midwesterners handed Conch Sam Barry's Trojans the worst whipping they have received since Southern California became 2 major collegiate football power twe decades or 50 ago. The aroused Buckeyes, playing for a university thrice loser in intersectional battles with teams of this Far Western slope, put in 60 minutes of good sound rock 'em, sock 'em football, and left 110 doubt but that they must be considered as a tough opponent for Big Ten foes.

But the memory that was printed indelibly in the minds of the 33,100 sweltering fans who jammed this little park for Brooklyn's first series show in 21 years was the gallant fight of old Fred Fitzsimmons until a line drive struck him on the left leg in the seventh inning and knocked him out of the ball game. Fear Broken Knee-cap The fat, 40-year-old knuckle ball expert who in his younger days OS 8 star of the New York Giants was beaten three times in world series contests, battled beautifully in scoreless hurling duel that kept every fan in suspense and brought them to their feet cheering time after time.

FITZ ONLY BRUISED Examination of the injury Freddy Fitzsimmons received in the Yanks-Dodgers world series game Saturday disclosed only a painful bruise and a broken blood vessed and Dr. Frank Glenn released him from New York hospital last night. Fitz was struck just above the left knee by a sharp liner in the seventh inning and was retired from the game. the ends and tackles before the rush of the Ohio State ball runners. The Bucks stopped the first Trojan thrust in the early minutes of the game oh their own 17 and drove 83 blazing yards in nine plays.

Before the quarter ended they pounded 80 yards in 10 plays, and in the second period duplicated this feat, yard for yard and play for play, to blast the ardent Trojan rooters numbered in this awed crowd of 60.000 shirtsleeved fans. Throttling the Southern California running game with consummate ease, and sweeping the passers off their feet before they could get rid of the ball, the Midwestern windstorm added two more touchdowns in the third period. The second came on a repetition of those bewildering reverses and double reverses behind the line of scrimmage. plays hatched up by the Bucks' new couch, Paul Brown. It came on the heels of an 87-yard parade, accomplished in 11 smashes at the line.

The other touchdown was a pass, good for 48 yards, from Fullback Jack Graf to his end, Bob Shaw. That Was just to show the Trojans the invaders could score through the air as well as on the ground. The summary: OHIO STATE U. S. Anderson L.

The Dodgers tried to recover the lost ground in their half of the eighth when Dixie Walker led off with a double.

Russo put his thumb down on the next two batters, throwing out Mickey Owen and striking out Pinchhitter Augie Galan, but Reese got a sizzling single to score Walker. The Dodgers' chance expired when Pete Coscarart popped up.
