BY HARRY BULLION. ADISOX, Oct. 15. Twenty eight years of patient wait- iVl or v'ctory over Michigan to crown its courageous efforts brought no reward to Wisconsin today. On the chalk-marked turf of Randall field the colors of the Badgers were trailed by the if aire and Blue of the Wolverine school, and all that is left for the mtn of Thistlethwaite to do is to held a powerful eleven to two toucnaowns ana me resultant goal kicks.

(A.P.) For just a little more than two periods, Knute Rockne turned loose a youth named Christy Flanagan on the Navy eleven today and when the dust of the latest Indiana cyclone from South Bend had settled In the Baltimore stadium. Notre Dame had clinched victory in the first of the season's outstanding intersectlonal football clashed. Racing to the rescue of hfs green-jersled mate, at the Btart of the second period when Navy had chalked up a lone touchdown lead, Flanagan nersonally directed the scoring of Notre Dame's first touchdown, brought the ball again almost to the Sailor goal line, ana then retired to leave the polishing oft of a 10-6 victory to his teammates. And to those mates went tne glory of piling up the scores after Flanagan, Drignt ruining ngni in the Rockne offense, had demoralized a promising Navy defense with his blinding hlp-shlftlng speed and general all-around potency behind the sweeping interference of the veteran Notre Dame backs.

TINY LEWIS STARS IN PURPLE VICTORY Moloney Scores Four Touchdowns That Put Westerners to Rout Early. MURPHY SUPPLIES THRILL He Follows One Run of 62 Yards With Another of 51 for Final Score.

BY W. W. EDGAR. Defeated by Army and Notr. Dame on successive Saturday.

University of Detroit called on Ed Ma-loney, second atrlng fullback, yesterday afternoon to carry th offensive burden and h. responded by scoring four touchdown, that assisted the Titan, to smother Columbia college, of Dubuque, Iowa, it to 0. It was first time since tha team returned from Camp Oianam that Malonry wa. considered as a regular and his work definitely established him as major factor ln th. Utan attack.

1U had been rele-gated to the second teum to give that squad a punter, hut any that existed regarding his ability vanished in the early minute, of the opening quarter when he plunged through the line for the touchdown that wa. destined to carrv his mates to the most one-sided Victory they have In four years. One. its line was penetrated Columbia never had a chance and as the game wore on Its line wilted under the Incessant attack. In only one period, the second, did make any kind of a showing.

In this period the lowans outplayed tho Titan second stringers, but wer unable to score. Mind Handicap. lonau. A strong wind that blew diagonally acros. the field proved Hit undoing of the Columbia team.

Itusiu'll, on whom the burden of punting was placed, had to kick into the wind and his effort, seldom carried more than 15 yards. It wns this disadvantage that gave the Titans their ttrst chance to score and they made the mort of It. Only four plays were required to register the first touchdown. After Itnssell got away a poor punt, Bra- 11 dodged his way for a 12-yard gain to the nine-yard line. Connell advanced four more and then Maloney entered the picture.

In two plays he plunged acros. the" line and the drive wa. on. Three touchdowns were added to this one In the first period, three more in the third and two in th final. Keveral more were in th making but holding, that frequent, ly marred the content, nulllflec them.

Another wa. checked by the final whistle when Detroit had the ball on the lw-yard line. Murphy Snpplle Highlights. T.Ike a steam roller, th. Titans flattened their opposition on the turf.

A resume of how the touchdowns were made is a recital of monotonous line plunging, plunging that netted gains on almost every attempt. Combined these thrusts as the line netted Detroit 19 first downs compared to two for their rivals, both of which came In th. first hi. If. While It was Maloney who wa.

the real thorn In the side of the Liuhawks. it remained for Hay Murphy to furnish the highlight of th. affair. Midway In the final period, after Maniere had taken the kick-off and advanced to the Columhl. i'J line In two plays.

Murphy cut Inside right end snd was away. On. by one his interferers took out would-be tacklers until th. secondary defense was reached. Murphy never stopped going.

H. reversed his field twice before heading straight for the goal line. One. in the open he never wa. caught and placed the leather over the Inst chalk mark after a sprint of 51 yards, for the final touchdown, It was the beet piece of open field running displayed at Dlnan field this year.

Shortly after the second period got under way this same Murphy intercepted one of Russell's passes and sprinted SI yards down the sidelines before be ing brougnt to earin on inc juw worn-yard line. The play lost much of Its effectiveness, though, when th. Titans were detected holding on in.

Columbia tried nam to check It. but th-s odds were too great and its nnsearred record wa. cat to the crisp October winds.

This trio win augmented and helped considerably by the uncanny passing and kicking of Braiil. former Flint Central star, who made his presence in the lineup felt until sent to th. showers In the third period. lortans Just Ontelned.

The Crimson opened up early with forward passes, two of which, in rapid succession, produced a touchdown that matched Almqulst's touchdown, which enme after a beautiful piece of broken field running. Minnesota then stsrted what was Intended to be a deliberate wearing down of the lighter Crimson team.
