The Wolverines' much-discussed 10-year reign as th master of intersectional football came to an abrupt halt in Franklin iem nere wis afternoon. The University of Pennsylvania put a stop to it all, the hardy Quakers punting and punching the Wolverines into absolute submission, 27 to 7, before 40,000 spectators.

And it made the football future anything but bright for the remainder of the 1936 season for the boys from Ann Arbor.

He tore through the Bucknell line on one long gain after another, including gallop, of 43. 21, 18, 17 and 13 yards. With Payne crushing the Bison defense in this manner, with Andy Farkas tearing arounu u.c ends and snatching passes in i his uaual mad style and with Quarter-back Dave Ripley mixing up the plays, Detroit rolled up a touchdown in the first quarter, two more in the second and another pair In the final period. Bucknell was seeking revenge for a 53-to-0 defeat inflicted by the Titans last year, but Coach Hooks Mylin's men had to be satisfied with one touchdown Instead.

They gained this score in the second period when Detroit was two markers to the good. It came as the result of a 83 -yard march which was climaxed by a 14-yard touchdown pass from Halfback Louis Tomascttl to Fullback Stuart Smith, the Bison co-captain. That was Bucknell's only Teal scoring chance and the Bisons made the most of it.

7 Fordham blasted a wide-open boulevard into the Rose Bowl Stadium today by beating a fast, scrappy Purdue team, 15 to 0, on a dark afternoon before a crowd of 40,000. As the game ended at the rim of darkness the Fordham goal line remained intact against Southern Methodist, St. Mary's, Pittsburgh and Purdue with a stonewall defense tnat was rimmed with steel and barbed wire a de fense headed by Franco, Pierce and Wojclechowicz that remained impregnable against the terrific assaults of Cecil label 1 and John Drake and the big fast backs that Purdue sent in vain by air and land against the Ram rampart of power and speed. Only Georgia and New York University remained to complete one of the hardest intersectional schedules any team has ever known and they have little chance against one of the greatest lines that football ever knew. Ram Line Is Alert It was the alertness and terrific charge of this amazing Ram line that started Purdue on her way down hill.

Early in the battle Dulkie hit John Drake with such force that he dropped the ball on his own 19-yard line, and Nat Pierce, a swift-moving guard, dived on the ball. In three plays Dulkie dived over the line for Fordham's first touchdown. Purdue fought bitterly to get back on even terms but time and again the unbreakable Fordham defense rolled back such stars as Drake and Cecil Isbell who might as well have been hammering against the side of a battleship. In the second quarter the Rams hit Drake with such terrific force that he dropped the ball and once again the alert Pierce was on the bounding oval. A Statue-of-Lib-erty play worked, picking up 14 yards, and then Palau from a tough angle placekicked 34 yards for the next three points.

Scores an 80-Yard Run Leading 9 to 0, Fordham packed the game away in the third Deriod when Al Gurske ran 80 yards for the second touchdown on the most sensational blocking of the year. Gurske started from a right-formation play, slipped through the left side of Purdue's big line. picked up his blockers as he cut into the open and started on his way. He stumbled and almost fell once as a mate running at his side lifted him back into his stride, and from that point he spent most of the distance circling Purdue bodies that had been knocked down or cleared out. GurtiKe used hu head ably all the way through this long sprint as more than once he swept in back of such blockers as Pierce, Franco and Wojjy, who left the Brings Eastern Browns' Sale in Last Stages Harridge Calls Other Owners to Meeting ST.

LOUIS. Nov. 7 (A. Formal approval of the sale of the Browns to a group of St. Louis business men awaits a meeting of American League club owners next Thursday in Chicago.

William Harridge, American League president, said today that negotiations were virtually complete for the transfer of the baseball franchise from the Phil Ball estate to Donald L. Barnes and associates, and details would be Ironed out at the Chicago meeting. Bames, president of the American Investment Co. of Illinois and of the Public Loan Corp. said tonight that "if a contract comes to ut in proper form the deal will be made." Neither Barnes nor William O.

Do Witt, now assistant business manager of the St, Louis Cardinals, would comment on the prospective setup of the Browns' front office under new ownership. De Witt admitted that he was an associate of the investment executive in the purchase of the club. A year ago George Sisler, onetime first baseman of the Browns and now in the sporting goods business in St. Louis, and friends, discussed the pos- i sible acquisition the deal fell through. Sisler said tonight that he was not associated witlj the present purchasers.

Harridge said that under a league rule the 1 Will Harridge seven other owners must approve transfer of a franchise. The plans of the new owners were not known but it was thought that they would retain as manager Rogers Hornsby, whose contract naa two more years to run. in the last two decades the Browns have experienced only one successful season 1922. That vear they finished second to the New York Yankees. Lee Fohl was man-ager.

The club never has won a pennant. Ball, who bourht the club in 1915, spent a salf million dollars improving Sportsman's Park after the 1922 season, certain that he would have a pennant winner. The team ended last in 1933 shortly before Ball's death. Last year it was seventh. N.Y.U.

Buckeyes from Ohio in the final contest of the season a week later. In each and every period of to day's football game, Penn marched over the Wolverine goal for a touchdown.

The Quakers added three points after scores with placement kicks. Michigan chalked up its lone counter in the third period when Cedric Sweet plowed through the center of an other wise unyielding Pennsylvania line for a yard and a touchdown. Penn Returns Those Kicks Penn bested Michigan in the matter of first downs, eight to four, and the Quakers over- overwneimea Michigan witn a rushing attack yardage of 212 to 98. And then there was that out' standing statistic of the yardage in punt returns. It was here that Penn's great Elverson did his greatest good for the Quaker cause.

His average, a remarkable one, was 13 yards. Michigan average was exactly one yard, with Ritchie and Hook doing most of the heavy duty. This contributed much to what became almost a Wolverine rout in the latter stages of the game. Penn bested Michigan on punts, both in kicking and returning them. Punts and handling them set the stage for three of Penn's touchdowns.

Penn lashed out with suddenness and speed in the first period. Six plays after the game started the Quakers were out in front From mldfield Murray hurled a pass to Elverson. The big Quaker slipped behind young Barclay at the Michigan left defensive halfback post and caught the ball while traveling at full tilt. He ran 29 yards to a touchdown. It was a 22-yard pass and a total gain of 51 yards.

Wolverines Come to Life Elverson's handling of punts and Murray's excellent placement punting, always foiling either Ritchie or Hook, bottled up Michigan. And so in the second period the Quakers found themselves in a position to loose another touchdown drive. It started on the Wolverine 38. Bill Kurllsh, Penn fullback, ripped at the center of the Wolverine line. Elverson and Murray tore at the Michigan tackles behind a ponderous Penn line and the ball moved steadily up to the Michigan five.

Elverson crashed over the Wolverine rignt tacKie for the second marker. Kipke must have talked to his men earnestly oeiween naives. They came back to the battle full of charge and fight. It brought a break. Don Siegel charged in on a Kurllsh fumble and recovered the ball on the Penn 30.

Penn's line stepped in and temporarily halted the Wolverine attack, forcing a punt exchange. Ritchie took Elverson's punt up to the Penn 32 on a 10-yard return and the Wolverines really came to life. Ritchie went through right tackle for 18 yards. Sweet plowed up througn center to tne fenn one-yard line, as the Michigan blockers for the first time during the game blocked out Hauze, big center, and Kurlish, at defensive fullback.

lightning-fast Marquette University quarterback, returned a Creighton punt 75 yards to a touchdown and gave his team a 7-6 victory over Creighton today. The victory extended the Golden Avalanche string of successive victories this season to six. Guepe's 75-yard run came about seven minutes after he had dashed 40 yards to the goal line with a Crelehton punt only to have the play called back and Marquette penalized five yards for off side. The winning point was scored by Ward Cuff with a perfect place' kick. Creighton's touchdown was scored in the second quarter when Ray Buivld, Marquette captain, tried a dangerous pass from his own 30.

He faded back and passed wide to the right, but Francis Wil cox, Creighton halfback, came in fast and took the toss on the run. Bulvid missed the tackle on the seven and Wilcox went over. The Marquette line, led by Leroy Schoemann, center, kept Creighton from making a serious bid for a score through running plays while the Marquette secondary covered the Creighton pass receivers alertly.

And Glenn Scobey Warner had good reasons for wishing that in looking at Brandstatter today he was looking at him for the last time. For in the past two years Brandstatter has caused the Old Fox of football more worry than most of the players Temple has been called upon to stop. Last year the 'Spartans went to Philadelphia for a battle with the Owls on the Philadelphia' home grounds.

Temple respected the Spartans, but thought it had a good chance to win. You see. Temple has great faith in the Old Fox of Football. It depends upon him to "think up novel ways of getting the ball across the opponents goal. And it expects his team to succeed in getting it there, because Temple somehow usually seems to have the kind of players who can carry it over.

But Temple did not beat Michigan State last year.
