On the next play he leaped over the line for a touchdown, and Dick Erdlitz kicked the point to tie the score. From then on it was a battle royal, with Northwestern pushing the Wolverines all over the field and missing two glorious chances to score in the third quarter. Kuzma gave a brilliant punting exhibition, turning the tide of the game early in the fourth period when he kicked out of bounds on Northwestern's four. Three plays faile'd to net a first down, forcing DeCorrevont to punt to Michigan's 46.

The Ag- gies don't look as though they'll need anyone like Jarring Jawn now or later. With Derace Moser as the mainspring, the Aggies rolled up 202 yards rushing and passing and held the Frogs to 88.

0 Brigham Young University smashed Utah's vaunted power attack today and gained a 6-6 tie over their ancient Big Seven Conference rivals. For two scoreless periods the BYU Cougars battled the Utes on even terms, then the Cougars took the ball in midfield and Bob Orr threw a pass to Mike Mills for a touchdown. The kick for point was blocked. With visions of their first victory over Utah in 20 yean of grid relations, the Cougars held the lead until well into the fourth period. Then Utah, after a punting duel, started a drive on its own 24-yard line.

Boyd White, Woody Peterson and Sumner Hatch carried the ball to the BYU 21 where a penalty gave the Utes an additional five, and Spud Sperry, a substitute fullback, scored in three tries. Peterson missed the place kick for point. Each team missed several scoring opportunities. The Utes fumblec once on the Cougars' five-yard line and BYU was stopped on the Utah 18 by a pass interception. To even that up, a Cougar back made a goal-line interception of a Utah pass and ran 90 yards to the Utah 10.

The Cougars advanced to the one-yard line, but lost the ball on downs. Indians Bow To Harvard £AMBPJDGE, Oct. spirited Harvard team urned in the major upset of the New England gridiron season today humbling previously-unbeaten Dartmouth, 7-0, with a fourth- period touchdown. A partisan crowd of 37,000 roared its approval as Harvard scored its first touchdown of the campaign on the second play of the final period after outplaying the Big Green by a wide margin in the 48th renewal of their "Ivy League" rivalry. Harvard's victory followed de- 'eats by Pennsylvania and Cornell and was gained against a Dartmouth eleven that had won three straight.

Capt. Fran Lee, a shifty lalfback, ran over Capt. Stub Pearson, Dartmouth tackle, on a three- yard plunge for the Crimson touchdown. Henry Vandereb converted. The Harvard triumph terminated Dartmouth's streak of seven consecutive triumphs.

Harvard piled up 12 first downs to five for the favored Indians, the Crimson's ground attack, after two punchiest performances, clicked off 218 yards to 33 for Dartmouth. The Invaders' only advantage was in the passing department, where they completed four tosses for 73 yards. Lee returned a Dartmouth punt 16 yards to the Big Green's 24 near end of the third period to set ihe stage for the only score of game. Don McNicol, kingpin of the Crimson attar.k, tore off 14 yards in four smashes as the quarter ended. Walter Wilson, sub lalfback, picked up seven on the first play of the final period to pave the way for Lee's climax smash.

Oct. 18 Wild Bill Smetana came into his own tonight as he led a snarling, raging Wildcat eleven from tha University of Arizona to a crushing, humiliating 31-to-6 victory over the New Mexico University Lobos. Brilliant standout as a freshman, Smetana went to the sidelines with injuries last year, and during the Wildcats' first three games this season he played second fiddle to the great Rambling Robert Ruman. Tonight it was Raman on the bench with the Nevada-game injuries, and Smetana went wild, racing up and down The Hill gridiron on winged feet, passing with an accuracy and devastating effectiveness seldom seen on any field, booting punts out io the coffin corner, and returning punts with the slick slithering of a well- greased eel. Ably abetted by the glue-fingered receptions of Hank Stanton, rapidly becoming an all-time-great Arizona left end, and his partner, Herb Vail, and with the aid of crushing charges by Right Half Emil Ban- iavcic and Fullback Bernie Singer, Smetana engineered a wild night of football that did these things: Smacked the Lobos into their first conference defeat; Put the Wildcats well out ahead in the Border Conference race; and Sent to Tucson for the first time since the trophy established for this football rivalry, the Kit Carson rifle.

Coach Ted Skipkey sat, head bowed in dejection, as the Wildcats finished up their night of vengeance with the last humiliation, of in a third team against which the Lobos not only were helpless, but which also scored a safety for two points and barely missed another touchdown. Coach Mike Casteel sent his first tfam snarling into the fray, and against its magnificent line- the Lobos were literally futile. While Arizona was rolling up four first downs and two touchdowns. New Mexico made a net gain of 18 Ic.r a quarter score of 13-0. The juniors took over in the second stanza, and nothing much of anything happened.

In the third frame the Wildcats got a safety on the second play and staged another scoring drive for a touchdown before a fumble on the Wildcat 42 gave New Mexico the ball, and the Lobos got their only touchdown on one wild, flashing run by Red Smith. In the fourth period the Wildcats scored again and the first team retired, leaving it to the juniors to add the final two points. Nobody ever found out about tha vaunted "accordion shift" with which Skipkey was supposed to terrify Lobo opponents this year, X'cause for most of the night the Wildcat line, ripping the New Mex- cc line to shreds, was playing in the Lobo backfield and calling the tunes themselves. A maddening ghost behind the Wildcat wall, Smetana bedeviled the Lobos with every method known to the gridiron, but most impressively of all clicked on 12 out of 15 pass attempts. That perfect doaen of perfect heaves resulted in a yardage total for the Wildcats on those plays alone of 207.

In addition Smetana on running plays made a net gain of 38 yards, not counting his pant runbacks. Arizona kicked off to New Mexico, but the Lobos couldn't gain ait inch and kicked to the Arizona 20. The Wildcats took up a drive that carried to the Lobo one-foot line before a long pass play was called back to the 32 and the drive broken up. Smetana kicked out of bounds inside the five, and the Lobos desperately kicked out to the 36, but this was only delaying the inevitable. Two passes by Smetana, to Banjavcic and Vail, and two line plunges by Singer and Banjavcic, saw Vail score with ease.

Jack Irish kicked the seventh point, of which he made three during the night, missing only once. Unable to gain after the kickoff. New Mexico kicked to the Arizona 25 and the Wildcats launched a 75-yard scoring drive. With Sme- fana passing and running and getting an occasional breather from Banjavcic, the drive carried to the eight, whence Singer powered over for the touchdown. Two plays after the second- half kickoff, the Wildcats got two more points.

Leon Server, starting two runs, was nailed first for a 10-yard loss by then a star-gazing stop in the end zone by Stanton for a 20- yard loss on two plays and two points for Midway in the the Wildcats began on their own 16 and rewarded for $2. her backers at $23.70 Boysy, a five-year-old who never started before this season, moved up from class ranks to gallop off with $6,775 first money in the Scarsdale Handicap for Tom Heard, owner-trainer.

Boysy raced the mile and 70 yards in 1:42 only one-fifth of a second slower the track record. either carrying or passing for 10 or the 12 plays.

On the first six in a row the drive went from the 16 to the New Mexico 15. Ban- jsvcic then got three yards and on four more plays Wild Bill put the ball on the Lobo one foot. Singer powered over and Irish's was good. Three plays later, Jim Concan- r.on fumbled on the Arizona 42 and Smith got away for his thrilling touchdown run that seemed as unexpected to the Lobos as it was to the Wildcats. The point placement was low.
