"It was one of those terrific battles where anything could decide the issue.

Georgia's pass defense was excellent. I thought that Heyward Allen and Frank Sinkwich looked best in the backfiold while Will Burt and Jimmy Skip-worth were about the best in the line.

Really customers should be charged double to see him tuck a ball under his arm and bolt 'ke lightning into a line. He was in there for eight minutes, gaining 42 yards and throwing a touchdown pass.

Alabama teams must put tip with him for two more years and barring injuries he will go down in history as Georgia best back and if this be treason to Bob McWhorter our old idol please excuse. Heyward Allen, Lamar Davis and how Davis can run and Cliff Kimsey, for his defensive ability, and Bob Nowell, for his blocking, were all fine backs Saturday.

Tlie score was sufficient to keep the Irish in the diminishing group of i unbeaten and untied teams.

Never, from kickoff until final whistle, did this supposed gridiron Juggernaut get beyond midfield on its own initiative iLs touchdown came on an 81-yard runback of an intercepted pass in the first quar- ter.

After that the only occasion on which Notre Dame had possession on the Army side of the field was on a quick kick by Army Tail- back Johnny Hatch which wobbled out of bounds on the Cadet 43, 19 yards from the line of scrimmage. The lad who got the touchdown was Steve Juzwik, Notre Dame's leading scorer for the season. He broke up the second of five Army threats by snaring Sophomore Hank Mazur's pass on his own 19. and then racing to the far end of the field virtually unprotected, out-dodging Bill Gillis, Army captain and center, at one point along the way and simply running over Mazur. his last obstacle.

BY CHARLE8 DUNKLEY EVANSTON, 111 --i) Still unde- feuted, still untied, Minnesota's i Golden Avalanche roared along in football's empire Saturday in quest of the Western Conference championship and national honors. By the margin of a single point after toqchdown. Minnesota, unable to beat Northwestern on its home lield since 1929, finally triumphed, 13 to 12, over the hitherto undefeated Wildcats before a nerve-wracked crowd of 48,000 spectators. It was Minnesotas fifth straight win of the season.

Minnesota's victory, which left the Gophers and Michigan the only undefeated and untied elevens in the conference, was achieved by a powerful -rushing game, -one timely pass and the place-kicking accuracy of Joe Mernik, whose successful try for point after the first Gopher touchdown ultimately means vic-i tory as the Wilacats missed on two after touchdown attempts. Led by Bob Swciger. who scored both Minnesota touchdowns. George Franck and Bruce Smith, the Gophers established themselves as a dangerous challenger for the "Big Ten" title by whipping a valiant Northwestern team which never gave up the battle until the final gun. Battle Royal The final period was one of the most exciting battle royals witnessed in Dyche Stadium in years.

Trail- ing, 13 to 6, Northwestern scored a touchdown on the first play of the last period after a brilliant 79-yard drive. George Benson missed the try for point which would have given the Wildcats a tie. but Northwestern gamely battled back to threaten again only to lose its chance on a pass interception. Northwestern led at the end of the first period. 6 to 0.

as Jhe result of a beautiful pass and a 25-yard sprint down the sidelines by Floyd Chambers. Taking the bail on a punt at their own 42, the Wildcats smashed to Minnesota's 43 as Ollie Hahnenstein slashed off left tackle for nine yards and Don Clawson ripped center for six more. Then Hahnenstein dropped back, sprinted for the sidesines and shot an 18-yard pass to Chambers, who caught the ball on the Gopher 25. Only Franck, the Gopher safety man, blocked his path. Chambers tore for the goal line, shook off Franck frantic tackle attempt, and sped for the touchdown unmolested.

However. Clawson's placement failed the ball sailing wide. After the ensuing kickoff. Minnesota reeled off a brilliant 61-vard drive for a touchdown and a 'lead it held to the finish. The Gophers started on their own 39.

with Smith picking up fivre yards on two pJays and Sweiger taking a lateral pass to rush the ball to Northwestern's 45. A punching, smashing game car-Tied Minnesota to the Northwestern six. where Franck rounded right end for four yards and a first down as the opening period ended. On the first play of the next period Sweiger hit center for a touchdown and Mernik went in to calmly boot the point, that won the game. Later in this period the Gophers threatened again, but Paul Heimenz Wildcat center, batted down a pass in the end zone to halt the Minnesota bid.

Second Touchdown Minnesota second touchdown came in the third period after Bob Paffrath intercepted a Wildcat pass and struggled back three yards to his own 47. Smith. Sweiger and FraVtck teamed up In another blistering demonstration of power to move the ball to the Northwestern 1 17. Sweiger got two yards at center and then Franck dropped back and shot a pass to Bill Johnson, who caught the ball and was downed on the Northwestern two. Sweiger rammed right guard for a touchdown, Gordon Paschka's try for point going wide.

Northwestern, after the kickoff, started on its own 20. and with Clawson ripping big lines in the Gopher forward wall, the Wildcats drove to the Minnesota 27. Clawson worked a pass to Hahnenstein to move to the Gopher eight and on the fourth play Hahnenstein hit right tackle for a touchdown. It was, then that Benson missed the kick that would have meant a tie. With six minutes to play.

Smith intercepted Hahenstein's pass at his own 43 and streaked his way 46 yards, but a Minnesota player was caught clipping on the play and Minnesota drew a 15-vard penalty ruin this opportunity. Minnesota made 14 first downs to for Northwestern and gained 186 yards by rushing to 152 for the Wildcats.

(run nua: ton BY ROMNEY WHEELER COLUMBUS, Ga. iSP) A great Georgia team, with great drive and steam, upset heavily-favored Auburn Saturday, 14-13, in a Southeastern Conference battle. Before a jam-packed crowd of 20.000 in Memorial Stadium, Gpor Ria hung up a first quarter thuch- down on a pass from Frankie Sinkwich to End Jimmy Skipworth.

The Bulldogs followed it with a third quarter drive which culminated in Ken Keuper's payoff plunge from the two. Lou Costa, placekick expert. booted both extra points. Auburn, sparked by Sophomore Billy Yearout, came back in the last quarter in a traditional Tiger rally. Clarence Harkins shot a pass to Jim Reynolds on Georgia's seven, and two plays later the latter went over.

Harkins' kick converted. Still hotter than a pail of rivets. Auburn scored again a half dozen plays later when Harkins snatched a lazv punt from Kimsey toe and oeled his way clear for a 70-yard touchdown gallop. Canny Jack Meagher, gambling for at least a tie. sent in Capt.

"Dynamite Dick" McGowen to try for conversion. His placekick was low. however, and Georgia retained that vital single point lead. Nor would the fighting Tigers give-upr Twice more they drove up the field with savage blocking and pile-driving charges. Both times, however.

Georgia's line clamped down before the danger zone was reached, and when Auburn took to the air. the alert Bulldog backs were in there to intercept-first Cliff Kimsey and then Keuper. It was a victory well-deserved by the in-and-out Georgia team which at last fulfilled Coach Wally Butts prediction that "I'll have a good team by November. It was a good team: good on blocking, brilliant on tackling, headsup on pass defense, and fighting. fighting, fighting for every last inch on offensive plays.

Fleet Sophomore Lamar Davis was the standout for the Bulldogs, along with little Heywaru Allen. Sinkw'ich, the Bulldog's sophomore ace. played brilliant for the first quarter, then went out with an injured ankle. Yearout. Auburn's high-scoring sophomore halfback, was half the Tiger backfield, and powered the late drive w'hich all but gained Auburn a tie.

Hecht try for point was blocked by Noah Mullins. Phil Scott, Birmingham boy playing sub end for Kentucky, kicked off to open the second half and his somewhat short boot was run back 10 yards by Hal Newman to the Alabama 32.

Spencer lost two yards but Nelson made 10, Spencer picked up six or eight in a couple of thrusts and Nelson bloke away for 14 and a first down on the Kentucky 39. An offside penalty on Kentucky cost Spencer a five-yard carry and on the next play from the Wildcat 34 Nelson scored. He sidestepped Mullins on the 20-yard line to get definitely into the clear. DeShane missed try for point. Sails Spears Cat Pass Julius Papais fumble W'as recovered by Kentucky on its 36-yard line near the end of the game and Allen's attempt to pass from deep in his own territory led to the fourth Tide score.

After losing 12 yards on a first effort on which he was swrtpt to the ground by a swarm of Alabamians, he tried again and Sails caught the ball near the left sideline. Sails eluded a couple of Wildcats who dove for him right after he speared the ball and then raced down the sideline 1 without being touched. Alabama was penalized five yards for delay in putting the ball in play and Russ Mosley's placement for a point was blocked. The Wildcats never got the ball appreciably beyond midfield on their own power, but came up with their only genuine scoring chance of the game in the third quarter when Walter Reid, a tackle, blocked one of Nelson's punts. On an immediately preceding exchange of kicks.

Nelson's had been partially blocked but he got it off for 34 yards to give Kentucky possession on its own 32. Reid slammed his next effort to the ground and the Wildcats went into attack on the Alabama 29. i Ed Hickerson nailed Mullins for no gain and Johnny Wyhonic and Hal Newman threw him for a loss of two. A penalty bobbed up to aid the Wildcats, giving them first) i down on the Alabama 23. It was absolutely no dice from here on.

however, for Rast slung Zoeller down for a 10-yard loss on a pass attempt and Hickerson batted down a pass on fourth down, giving the Tide the ball on its own 32. Nelson blasted the ball for 55 yards on the first lineup and the Wildcats had it away hack nn (heir own 13 and that was the termination of their one and only bonafide opportunity to make some points. Nelson was the largest ground man of the afternoon by many, many yards. He ran 16 times for about 152 yards, giving him an aver- i age of nearly 10.

(Ah Ray Wolfe. hard-hitting left halfback, led Dartmouth to a 26-0 victory over Sewanee in a driving rain Saturday. Except for a few minutes in the first period when the field was dry, the, game was marked by sloppy play with fumbles prevalent. The Big Green used all power plays against the weaker Tiger line, while Sewanee couldn't move against Dartmouth until toward the end of the game when the Indian third team was playing. Dartmouth stored up a total of 183 yards by rushing, while the visitors could net only 34.

all of those being run off in the last half. The only time that the contest even looked like a football game instead of a mud fight was early the first quarter when Ray Hail and Ray Wolfe, of Dartmouth, reeled off yardage five yards at a clip behind inspired Indian blocking. It was at that time that Wolfe ran 40 yards to score. Monty Winship, regular left tackle for Dartmouth, showed up well on defense when he blocked two Sewanee kicks to put Dartmouth in position for its second score late in the first period. One the few good plays of the day, a reverse from Kast to Wolfe, gave Dartmouth its second tally.

After the half, Don Norton intercepted a Sewanee pass to start a 50-vard Dartmouth march with Wolfe, Kast and Hall carrying the ball right to the goal line. Wolfe made the score. Ted Arico, of the Big Green, in- 1 tercepted another Tiger pass late 1 the third period and 40 yards pay dirt. Frank Walker. Sewanee right end, played a good game defensively, checking many Dartmouth thrusts through the line, while Jim Lyle made a few good gains when Sewanee blocking did shake loose.
