wumsvDlb ernoon that threaten ed storm throughout and crashed to a mighty victory 48-0 decision over hapless More-head on Oct 11 1953 Even Refrigerator Bowl team of 1952 rarely exerted more pressure for the full 60 minutes Indeed this one was close to By BEET BORRONE Dally New Sporta Editor Western brought Coack Jack Clayton "back home to the Hill to the roll of thunder yesterday collapsing favored Evansville In the eerie sunlight and shadow of a strangely soft autumn afternoon by the Incredible score of 46-6 Landing their greatest scoring wallop In three seasons the Hill-toppers signalled return from two dread-filled weeks In a hospital by piling up 441 yards running and passing to bury the proud Indiana Collegiate Conference kicked goal" Western 7-0 Chambliss raced once for 19 yards and Jackie Johnson got loose for 12 In this drive Browning climaxed another 63-yard advance with a one-yard tour of right end Quarterback Jerry Nassano passed for 18 yards to Chambliss and for 12 to Cunningham in this drive kick was blocked' Western 13-0 The Hiiltoppers moved 56 yards in six plays "with Nassano hurling the final 14 yards to Holt who was all by himself in the corner on the goal-line Ray Weaver kicked the point Western-20-0 And when you consider that there are Just three seniors on this squad you wdnder what the potential of this crew can be when It reaohes maturity In 1956 or 1957 Who scored the touchdowns Is the least Important part of this report But for the record Halfback Jim Chambliss bolted over tbe goal twice and End Billy Joe Holt Halfbacks Dave Browning Tom Frye and Jerry Brantley and Fullback Rod Bagby scored once apiece Everyone of them will be back next year Indeed Browning Frye and Bagby are mere freshmen the way the touchdown came: came after Western had constructed a 23-0 lead Evansville never got closer than 37 yards to the end zone Although they used almost three complete teams and Coaches Prank Griffin and Turner Elrod tried desperately to make the core look charitable the attack became more severe by the 'minute and the defense wound up stealing two fumbles intercepting two passes and winning the ball a fifth time on end-zone pass Interference by the Aces No happier Western team ever dashed away from this Stadium's turf with Griffin and Elrod high on their shoulders to mob Clayton at his seat in the gymnasium where he watched a game that gave him one of his greatest football thrills Here was a man who two weeks ago lay "bn an operating table for removal of a tumor and then was rushed to Mayo Clinic for precautionary surgery Here was a man who conceivably could have -seen his last football game for a while now back home watching a performance which simply was out of all reason How massive was this 46-6 victory? Well Western had lost its lost four games scoring Just two touchdowns while Evansville had been rolling along to six bouncing Victories and piling up 31 points a game A Western team that had scored only 61 points in seven previous games almost equalled that production in 60 furious It was a game without a hero Or a game with 30 of them It was a game that really started 10 games ago in a 21-13 upset loss to this same Evansville team It was a game that was really 10 frustrating games long a fantastic streak in which the Hiiltoppers were buried under an avalanche of missed opportunities It was all the pent-up fury of those 10 games that this Western team loosed yesterday In the greatest scoring bombardment since a right tackle on second down for the counter The same boy kicked the point Western 33-0 Now came lone touchdown drive a 49-yard march that ended when Fullback Dick Matthews caromed off tackUb on third down from three yards out A 32-yard forward-lateral from Sinclair to Don Henry to Jim Weln-sapfel set this one up Western 33-6 Western smashed 80 yards In eight plays Frye scrambled the final 35 on a blow off left tackle and a tight-rope run down the sidelines A block at the five by End Mike Molarity kayoed the final defender Western 39-6 Bldeback Jerry Brewer stole a wild pltchout 10 yards deep In backfleld on the Aces' 7-yard-llne Bagby went the seven yards In one bowl-over burst disassembling a four-man reception committee Just short of the goal-line Bagby kicked goal Western 46-6 What a performance that line 4 Attacking behind a suddenly lightning-fast and all but faultless line the Hiiltoppers stormed over the goal once in the first period and twice in each of the last three -quarters and most amazingly of all held an Evansville team which with 253 points is the school's all-time record scorer to a mere six points -Aside from Its one 40-yard third-quarter touchdown drive which Again it took Just six plays for Western to drill 5Q yards Chambliss who had scrambled for gains of 25 and 24 yards scored on a six-yard dart over right tackle Western 28-0 Freshman Delaine Simpson stole a Dick Sinclair pass on the Evasville 46 and returned 42 yards to the four Brantley dove over being the equal of that Incomparable 48-6 Homecoming win over Eastern in 1952- And that team of last year that won seven in a row would not have had any business on the field with this one which in its raw youth and raw power suddenly put everything together on an aft Chambliss capped a 63-yard march with a 9-yard bolt around right end as Wayne Duncan Joe Cunningham

kick-off return by Charles Parrish to Western's 45 Immediately posed a problem On second down Lutterbach car -rled on the draw play An immense hole opened up linebackers and secondary were scatter ed for a pass This Lutterbach In the open is a hard man to handle Up to middle he barreled but al- -most miraculously from under-a pile-up came the good right Arm of Guard Vern Wilson Down went Lutterbach His gain was exactly one yard After Nassano knocked down a pass on the next play and then Strawn won possession of 'Ore ball for Western with a bone-Jarlng tackle the Aces were through their fire gone never to return Another example of the kind of defense this team played yesterday was afforded by fourth-trlng full back Delaine Simpson In the sec ond quarter -Sinclair tossed a screen was to Jtm Merkley who turned" ehind massed Interference and -started up-field Simpson slithered through the screen and dumped the -amazed Mr Merkley right on the line of scrimmage It went on

Indiana 30 to 0 Saturday to force a Big Ten championship amf Rose Bowl showdown with Ohio State next week Michigan now heeds enly a season-ending victory against Ohio State next Saturday to net the conference title and a Rose Bowl bid It was fifth conference victory against one loss and marked a billlant defensive-comeback for the team that last Saturday allowed Illinois more than 400 yards in a 25-6 upset victory In the first half alone Michigan held the Hoosiers to a minus 28 yards rushlng and 10 passing while piling up 162 on the ground and 31 in the air Michigan would lose he Rose Bowl bid to its neighborhood conference rival Michigan State by losing to Ohio State The Spartans with a 5-1 record then would share the conference title with OSU which is ineligible for tbe bowl because It went last Jan 1 Indiana was stymied by the stern Michigan defense and did not cross midfield until the final two minutes Michigan put together drives of 68 59 42 and 41 yards for Its four touchdowns with backs Terry Barr Jim Pace Lou Baldacci and Dave Hill scoring Barr cut over three yards for one tally set up by a brilliant 41-yard sprint by Tony Branoff Pace scooted 20 yards for another Michigan score Baldacci plunged one yard and Hill two yards for the final touchdowns End Tom Maentz got the Wolverines another two points by trapping Indiana's Chick Cichow-ski in his own end zone for a safety after a bad pass from center on an attempted punt ganfteld every other year We call on Mr Wells only when the other team haa the ball He is our defensive specialist So' I besought these three gentlemen to select a consensus team with this result: They agreed only on Perry Newton' Benson and Fisher Nobody else got more thjm one vote If these three giants of the grandstand

far Into 1956 even though the team Is supposed to be announced no later than Thanksgiving week After talking to a dozen coaches though I believe I can spare you that long wait I think I can give you

one-yard line Going into the game Clchowskl was the Big leading passer with an amazing 608 average But Saturday he was badly rushedas the huge Indiana line wilted before the Michigan pressure He

COLUMBUS Ohio (A) All America Howard Cassady put on his greatest show In his farewell to the home folks here Saturday scoring all three touchdowns as Ohio State defeated Iowa 20-10 The freckled red-haired speedster ground out 169 yards on the ground In 26 attempts Just two yards' less than the entire Iowa team was able to make in 45 rushing plays- set a year ago The season's average was 81746 Even with superlative play the teams were evenly matched in everything except the final score Each piled up 16 first downs and the Bucks had only a one-yard edge in total 273 to 272 All the Buckeye gains came on rushing plays as Ohio failed to complete any of three passes Iowa completed 9 of 14 for 101 yards Only three of the coaches I have talked to would committ themselves on who is the best all-around footballer All three picked Fisher who dou bles as a tackle on defense He is only a junior Nearly all agreed though that Watkins is the most valuable performer He was tbe hero In
