week. Michigan helped the Gophers to the title by eliminating Northwestern, 20-13 at Ann Arbor. Minnesota power was at its best as us ground game rouea rougn shod over the Boilermakers but it still showed a weakness against passes with Purdue taking to the air to set up its touchdown. Throw 33 Passes Purdue, held to net of 23 yards by rushing, fired 33 passes of which 13 were completed for 132 yards. Meantime, Minnesota relied almost entirely on power plays that produced more than 300 yards.

There was little doubt about the eventual outcome of the game from the opening kickoff when Bobby Paffrath took the ball on his own 15 and fumbled. George Franck. Gopher speedster. was there to pick it up on the 20 yard line and he returned 80 yards for a touchdown after skirting the entire Purdue team, bunched in front of him. Gordon Paschka placekicked the extra point and Minnesota led.

7-0, with only 16 seconds cf playing time elapsed. The second Gopher touchdown in the lirst period came atter Franck had returned a punt 31 yards to. the Purdue 31 yard line.

In the third quarter, after a 15 yard penalty for holding spoiled a touchdown try, Mernik place- kicked a field goal, his first of two for the day. Purdue's touchdown early in the fourth quarter came on a series of passes, keystone of which was one from Galvin to Smerke for 25 yards to the Gopher 12 and another by the same combination to the three yard line.

From there fullback John Petty needed four line plays to carry it over. The try for extra point failed.

KYLE (Of the Herald-Review Staff) Bloomington Millikin university's courageous football team, after matching Illinois Wesleyan touchdown for touchdown in a clamorous first half, finally succumbed to the sheer power and adeptness of the rugge-J Titans in. the fourth quarter here yesterday afternoon and went down to an Illinois College conference defeat, 32-18.

Three times in the first half the Big Blue converted alertness an.1 breaks into touchdowns, to pull up on even terms with Wesleyan, but the terrific pounding of the Titans' ground attack in the last haU finally forced a begrudging Millikin eleven to admit it couldn't quite measure up to one of the finest teams in the history of the school. Bruising Bob Morrow and versatile Chet Wetterlund headed ths Wesleyan offense which rollel up 14 first downs, each one attained by a running play. Millikin, on th? other hand, was held to five, two by land, one by air and two by penalties. Morrow Scores Three Morrow, who could play on anybody's ball team anywhere, bartered his way to three touchdowns and booted two extra Wetterlund got loos3 for a 21-yard touchdown gallop, and Herb Rob inson, Weslcyan's right half, climaxed the scoring in the fourth quarter with a 40-yard cutback through tackle. While Wesleyan bruised its way to three touchdowns in the first half, Millikin twice registered on spectacular plays and secured the other after a march of 37 yards.

The second half was different, st far as the Big Blue was concerned. Its best advance penetrated no farther than Wesleyan's 45-yard line. (and for the most part it was on the defensive most of the time. Undoubtedly Morrow was the outstanding Wesleyan player, both offensively and defensively, but i would be hard to single out one or two Millikin players for specnl commendation. Virgil Wagner, up on whom falls most of the ball-car rying duties, stabbed time and again through and around the beefy Wesleyan line until he was removed near the end of the gam'-- at a point of exhaustion.

Ed Dahm, Frank Poneta and Ed Zach-ry valiantly backed up a line which often was opened wide by Wesleyan's adroitly executed reverses and delayed bucks. Roger Merker and Jack Hagerty performed creditably at the end positions. Dahm Hurt Again Dahm's shoulder, injured in the North Central game a week ago. gave way again late in the thira quarter, and he was removed from the game. Other than that, the Millikin players apparently emerged frnm the bruising battle without serious injury.

The Blue did lose Earl Buse mid way in the second quarter, but Wesleyan lost Tackle Lantz at the same time. It was one of those temperamental flareups in which several blows were flung, none connected, and the two players, at the request of Referee Brickbauer, watched the remainder of the game from the bench. Wesleyan scored early in the first quarter after Dahm fumbled as he returned the opening kick-off and Morrow recovered for Wesleyan on Millikin's 37-yard line. Robinson picked up three yards and then Wagner arrived in nick's time to bat down a sure touchdown pass on the goal line. In two plunges Morrow made a first down on Millikin's 26.

Wetterlund reached the 24. and Robinson bustled throuqh left tackle to the nine-yard line. Wetterlund pushed to the two and then Morrow barged over guard for the tally but missed the extra point.

(Herald-Review Photo) I to I I I I wi Teams, 7-0 Hawks Capitalize On Irish Mistakes South Bend 'AP) Mighty Notre Dame fell frcm tht ranks of the nation's undefcattj and untied teams yesterday, bow. ing to the amazing Iowa Hawkcyei who performed brilliantly when th breaks came their way to score 7-0 victory before 50,000 shiverinx spectators. The hopes of the Fighting Irish for their first perfect season in decade foundered on their own m.i- takes and the inspired play of the Iowans, who had lost four garr.ej in a row. Hawks Hold on One Iowa, using only 15 men in the entire game, staved off every thrust until the final period when their- opportunity came. Dame, early in the fourth, drove to the Hawks' one yard line but the much-defeated underdogs held ip.d took the ball on downs.

Jim Youcl! punted out and the Irish roared back to the 10 yard line. At this point Captain Milt Piepj fumbled and Iowa's captain, Mike Enich, snatched the ball in mid-air and ran 36 yards to the Iowa 46. The aroused Irish stopped the attack and Youell punted to the Irish 25. Al Couppee intercepted Bob Saggau's pass on the first play tni returned eight yards to the 23. The Hawks drove to the 17 and Bill Gal-lagher tried a field goal from the 25 but his boot was wide of the uprights.

Green Goes Over The luckless Irish started Jroa their own 20. but again on the first' play little Steve Bagarus fumbled and Ken Pettit pounced on it on the Notre Dame 24. Big Bill Green darted through the Irish for 22 yards in two plays. Gallagher add-, ed one at- center and then Green smashed over right guard the touchdown. Gallagher placekicked ithe point.

Saggau returned the subsequent. ikickorf 3 yards to the Irish 35. With four minutes to play. Sacgau began passing but missed Bob Margrave on the first toss. His second was intercepted by Gcorcc Frye who returned it eight to the Notre Dame 34.

Green and Gallagher alternated in banging away at the, line, driving to the six as the game ended. The Hawks, previous to their scoring outburst, had not ad vanced beyond the Notre Dame 35, apparently having little semblance, of either a running or passing attack. The Irish, likewise, were impressive only in spurts. Another Fumble After a dull first period, Saggau sparked an attack that carried from his own 34 to the Iowa 15, passes accounting for 27 yards in the 51 yard march, but the Hawks held on the-15 and took the ball at that point. Iowa punted out of danger and the Irish started again but Stev Juzwik fumbled and Pettit recovered almtost at midfield shortly be fore half time.

Iowa, playing all the third period against a strong wind, was in the hole from the second half kickoff until Enich changed the entire picture with his runback of the fumble. The Irish spent almost all of thi third period in the Hawks' territory but their running game wai not consistent enough to produce a touchdown and their passes wert futile against a smart Inwa defense. The Irish attempted 21 pas es and only six for yards. The victory was Iowa's third over Notre Dame in as many game be- tweeen the two teams and on eacH occasion the Irish approached the game undefeated.

Although the heavier Midshipmen rolled over the Lions with nin first downs to three, just as thej. had dominated their last two lo- ing affrays with Penn and N0" Dame, the heroics and the arann belonged to the Lions. Cornell Heads Are Ready to Abide by Ruling of Officials Hanover, N. H. 'AD President Edmund E.

Day, of Cornell, and Athletic Direc- tor Jim Lynah last night is- sued a joint statement on the Cornell-Dartmouth game. "If the officials in charge of game ruled after investigation that there were five downs in the final series of plays; and that the winning touchdown was made on an illegal fift down, the score of the game between Dartmouth and Cor- ncll will be recorded as Dart mouth 3. Cornell 0." they said. President Day and Ly nah emphasized the confi dence in the officials and! pointed out that the game was in their hands at all times and that they would abide by their final decision. Here is one of the reasons for Wesleyan's 32-18 victory over Millikin yesterday good blocking.

Capt. Bob Morrow (8H Texas Aggies Top Rice, 25-0 College. Station, Texas (AP) Methodically, almost casually, the Texas Aggies poured ruthless power and a fabulous passing game into Rice Institute yesterday for a 25-0 triumph that took them to the very brink of a second successive unbeaten season. Never, in their classic string of 19 victories, had the Cadets stuck with such viciousness as yes terday tumbling through once- beaten Rice for 406 yards by ground and air. Once again it was John Kim-brough.

the massive All-America fullback, in the bell wether role. The grinning 222-pounder prosecuted, and closed, his All-America case for 1940 by shredding Rice's stout line for 108 yards on 18 carries for an average six yard gain. Kimbrough shared the glory with a six foot sophomore end a gangling lad named Bill (Jitter bug) Henderson who threw' the crowd of 30,000 into a panic with eight consecutive catches- for a total of 117 yards.

Boston College Shades Hoyas Boston (AP) A grand Boston College team that was amply equipped with fight, speed and inspiration fought its way into the front ranks of the nation's football teams yesterday by removing Georgetown from the ranks of the undefeated. 19-18, in a frantic struggle before 40,000 frenzied customers at Fenway park. Content to win their first seven games with a minimum of plays and formations, the unbeaten Ea gles let the cat out of the bag and their trick plays as they played wide-open and smart football on offense. Leading by 19 to lftwith 65 sec onds left to play, Boston was backed down deep in its own territory with fourth down coming up and 18 yards to go from its own 9.

Like a penned-up fcx. and just gles triple threat, scurried back and forth in his end zone until finally he was downed, as he had meant to be all the time.

H. (AP) Mighty Cornell, one of the nation's outstanding football teams, was rocked and shaken by an in spired band of Dartmouth Indians for 57 minutes yesterday before it unleashed a belated aerial drive that give it a 7-3 victory. Out-fought until the last three minutes of play by their underdog rivals, the Ithacans pulled the game out of the' fire during the last six seconds of play when, on a disputed fourth down and six yards to go, Walt Scholl ended a 57-yard overhead thrust by toss ing a touchdown pass to Halfback Bill Murphy. That moreTthan off set the 17-yard placement field goal the Indians' Bob Krieger boot ed early in the final period. Captain Lou Young and his players, however, insisted that Cornell's scoring play came on a fifth down and just before, it was made, the former demanded that Referee Friesell give his team the ball on its line, for Fullback Ray Hall had batted down a Scholl pass on the previous, play.

The disputed series started after Scholl had passed to Murphy for a first down on Dartmouth's five yard line with one minute to play. Cornell then rushed to the one-yard line where, after stopping the clock by rushing right end Al Kelley back into the game, it drew a five- yard penalty for an extra time out.
