tiered and sputtered behind an ineffective line but never did explode today as an alert and capable Penn State team fashioned a 14-12 upset victory in the 1954 schedule opener at Memorial stadium. An opening day record crowd of 54,094 watched in disbelief as the Easterners' big line time and again checked Illinois' cyclonic backfield except on two occasions. Too many offensive mistakes against a good football team, and a tendency to be fooled on defense bv slick option plays revolving around Suarterback Don Bailey cost Illinois le decision. Its line, except for val-' iant Capt. Jan Smid at guard, was Statistics PS.

It was a dismal start for an Uliriois team that had been rated by many to repeat its Big Ten title and by some to have an undefeated season. It was the first non-conference defeat suffered by Illinois since it lost to Missouri in 1949 and the first opener the Illini have dropped since 1943 when its wartime tots lost to Camp Grant. Not only did the Illini lose, but they suffered the further humiliation of being outdone at their own specialty, running power.

The Nittany Lions out-rushed the Bio Ten club by a wide- margin, 279 yards to 155, the difference being accounted for chiefly by Bailey's option foolers. Furthermore, Illinois' Ail-American, J. C. Caroline, while having a good day with 115 yards, had to take a back seat yardage-wise to Lenny Moore, fleet visitor who accumulated 124 in one" less try. Illinois could not blame first day jitters which should have evaporated when it got the jump by scoring only four minutes and 10 seconds after the game began.

But it lost its lead before the quarter was out, fell behind 14-6 just before the half, scored again as the third period began and then lost a beautiful chance to go ahead, and perhaps win, when a penalty killed a bid that had reached the 12. The word "perhaps" is used because State was on Illinois' five as the, game ended, likely could have scored if it had wished to gamble a bit. Instead it merely ran out the clock with safe running plays. Abe Woodson, making his debut in Illinois' touted backfield, tallied both of Illinois' touchdowns, one on a 28-yard screen pass play the first time Illinois got possession, and again to start the third quarter on a pretty zie-zaeeing 17-yard canter. But too often, Woodson, and Caro line, too, were hit, and hit hard, before they even reached the line of scrii rnmage so well did the winners' defenders crack Illinois' line.

As one consequence Woodson was held to only 18 yards in 11 carries. He made 41 but lost 23 when trapped. A further example of the way the Pennsylvanians contained Illinois' vaunted ground power was the fact a 22-yarder by Caroline was Illinois' longest rushing gain of the day, this by a team supposed to be able to hit from far out on any play. Third member of Illinois' Thun dering Three, Fullback Mickey Bates, had a sorrowful day. He carried the ball only three times, and twice he fumbled.

His first bobble was followed bv State's first touch down two olavs later. Bailey, unsung quarterback who didn't even start, was the chief tormentor of the Illini defense with its inexperienced linebacking. He set up the winning touchdown with two beautiful belly-keep plays which gained 50 the first time, and the needed 17 seconds later. He also fired a 25-yard pas to 6-5 Jesse Arnelle for the first touchdown.

Befuddling Millikin with rlitch-outs and quick-openers, the Muncie, team scored two touchdowns in the second quarter and two more in the third. Three Ball State touchdowns were nullified because of penalties. Fullback Frank Chizevsky made the Millikin touchdown in the fourth quarter after a 28-yard pass from quarterback Larry Kane to halfback Ted Smith had put the ball on the one. Gene Wolanin kicked the extra point. The seasoned Ball State line opened up big holes.

Millikin suffered an early offensive blow when Ted Savage, the left halfback and co-captain, went out in the second quarter with a broken collarbone.

He was taken to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment. The Indiana team, with a. 40-6 warmup victory over Hanover (Ind.) College in the books before last night, got three touchdowns on the ground and one in the air, four players scoring. The first quarter was scoreless.

Ray Nix of Ball State returned one of Pete Innis' left-footed punts 56 yards tor a touchdown but it was disallowed due to holding.

Four plavs later Grady raced 45 yards for an apparent touchdown on a pitchout but the play was cancelled as Millikin was offside and Ball State was detected holding.

The red-shirted visitors got a break later in the quarter when Millikin tried a fourth down plunge needing one yard for a first down and missed. Ball State took over on the Millikin 25. Wally Gartee cracked through the left side- from the eight for the touchdown. Nix scampered 84 yards on a quick-opener in the third quarter and Ernie Butler grabbed a 24- yard touchdown pass from Hunt to end a 5-yard drive. A 31 -yard touchdown run by Phil Linville in the tourth quarter was called back due to an illegal motion penalty.

Sept. 25 (AP) Quarterback Ralph Guglielmi scored two touchdowns and passed to a third as Notre Dame's fiditing Irish gave new Coach Terry Bran- nan a triumphant sendott 21-0 over the stubborn Texas Longhorns today Guglielmi also made two great pass interceptions to harass the game Texans, who twice fumbled the ball away within Notre Dame's 10 when they were very much in the game. With his former coach, retired Frank Leahv watching from a box seat among the 57,594 fans, Bren-nan uncovered an Irish team that gave all the indications of living up to its No. 1 ranking in the pre-sea-son Associated Press poll. Notre Dame moved ahead 7-0 in the second period on Guglielmi's 19 yard pass to end Dan Shannon.

The Irish made it 1 4-0 in the third quarter with a 79-yard march in 10 plays, capped by Guglielmi's one yard smash.

But quarterback Ralph Guglielmi of the Irish cut in to take the ball Duke Crushes Penn, 52 to 0 Philadelphia, Sept. 25 (AP) Byron Aldridge broke down the door and a hard-hitting Duke poured through to a crushing 52-0 victory over Pennsylvania today in an inter-sectional football opener at Franklin Field. Coach Bill Murray cleaned his bench of 40 men and finished with third and fourth stringers in handing Penn its first humiliating defeat since Army's Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis rolled up a 61-0 trouncing in 1945. It was a sad debut for Penn's new coach, Steve Sebo, who brought in a new regime from Michigan State. Aldridge personally marshaled, a 76-vaTd touchdown drive which broke a scoreless deadlock late in the second period and set Duke's awesome scoring machine into motion.

Then the Blue Devils pushed over two more touchdowns in the third period and five in the fourth. Dame's new fullback find, Don Schaefer, rambled 23 yards. Schaefer converted after each touchdown. The game was net decisive as the score indicates. The Longhorns struck to Notre Dame's seven in the first four plays of the game.

Delano Womack's 33- vard run and an interference rulinp on Charley Brewer's pass to How ard Moon was good tor 26 yards to Notre Dame's seven. Here however, Brewer fumbled and Irish tackle Frank Varrichione recovered on Notre Dame's 11. Still in the first quarter, Texas was pressing hard when Guglielmi wrestled a long Brewer pass from Moon on Notre Dame 21. In the third period, trailing 14-0, but still full of fight, Texas slammed from midfield to Notre Dame's 10. Then Longhom soph fallback Don Maroney slashed up to the Irish five only to fumble and have Notre Dame's guard Ray'Lemek recover.

As the game progressed, however, the Irish began to resemble a typical Notre Dame team. Beyond Texas' failure to exploit its first-period chances, the game's turning point probably came early in the second quarter as Guglielmi Turn to Page 20 "Irish".
