BY DAI.K STAFFORD Fr PrrM.Sporti Edltar EAST LANSING, Nov. 15 Michigan State's latent football power exploded today for the first time this season as the Spartans crushed favored Temple by a staggering 46-0 score before a crowd of 10.123 startled spectators. The figures on the score board at the conclusion of 60 minutes of play represented State's biggest score since beating little Alma, 93 to 0, in 1932. It was the largest margin the Spartans have ever established over a major opponent and the defeat was the worst in all football history at Temple. This 46-0 score tells the actual difference between State and a Temple team that had won six out of seven previous games.

All of the adjectives used in football re porting are needed to describe State's play today. Through the air State was uncanny, on the ground it had great ball carrying Turn to Page 8, Column 7 I Store Hours: Daily, 9:30 to inn in-imr- iinni n-r QUARTERBACK BOB SHERMAN SCORES FIRST Tomasio (17), Temple, Is brushed out of way on attempt Trtn Prm I'hnio bj Dick DIlU MIOIIGAX STATE TOUCHDOWN FROM ONE-YARD LINE IN OPENING QUARTER to stop drive, MSC players arc Rupp (68), Will Davis (28), Kennedy (67), Frlrdlund (88) AND IMPRESSIVELY Texas Falls toTCUin Last Minute Cooley Doivns Pershing for Prep Crown, 14-6 Football Scores SATURDAY'S RESULTS STATE Muh.

Slntnn: rrntrr. ilrfrn: ouar-fXL'poIwi Bam: fullback, fcpirirl. BY JOHX N. SABO Frr PM Staff HtlWr NEW YORK, Nov. 15 Eastern football isn't all it's cracked up to he At least if the brand displayed bo' ineptly today by Columbia's Lions is any example.

On this sunshiny afternoon before an awed gathering of 35,000, these Lions bravely played the powerful University of Michigan team and were treated to a 28-0 plastering which was even more thorough than the score indicates. Everybody Mays The Wolverines, carrying Capt. Bob Westfall and Tom Kuzma as the touchdown producers, simply tore the Columbia line to bits for 36 minutes and thereafter let their second, third and even fourth stringers throttle the Lions' futile efforts. Not since the 54-0 trounching by Dartmouth in 1930 has a Columbia team been beaten so badly. And not in many moons has the East seen as fine a set of ball carriers as Westfall and Kuzma.

In his bid for All-America fullbacks honors, Westfall bent Columbia's line for three touchdowns. Twice he scored on three-yard smashes and a third time he banged into tackle from the 22-yard line and just bulled his way across. Kuzma scored the first Michigan tourhdown on a 7-yard slant, and Bill Melzow expertly kicked all the extra points. One-Man Gang Kuzma and Westfall also humiliated the Lions by outrushing the entire Columbia team. Columbia could net only 33 yards through the sturdy Michigan line to the Wolverine's 359.

Westfall picked up 81 yards In 15 attempts for an average of 5.6 while Kuzma gained 169 yards in 15 cracks for an average of 11.3. This gives you a pretty good idea of how ridiculously one-sided the proceedings were. Columbia, the same Columbia which beat Cornell and held Penn to a 39-18 score a week ago, was supposed to throw all kinds of scares into the Wolverines. It was supposed to possess a set of fast-stepping backs and passer de luxe in I'aul Oovemall. Well, the running attack looked mighty microscopic against the Michigan line and Governall's passing started to click only when the Michigan substitutes were in action and the score was 28 to 0.

Governali consoled the Lions a n't by passing on almost every Columbia play of the last half. Altogether he uncorked 34 aerials and completed 18 for 121 yards. The Lions advanced once to the line In the second period gainst the Michigan regulars. They went to the 5-yard line "gainst the Michigan subs in the tost period only to have Center Td Kennedy intercept a pass by Governali. The Wolverines didn't require wig to establish themselves.

They parted ripping to shreds Columbia's line almost Tom the start.

Prrh. 1, Kalar. l)opkokl, llanael, Podolnkl, knrwln, liiik)', Ctiulakl. BY MARSHALL DANN Of the 13,000 high-school fans who saw a strong and capable Cooley team outplay and outsmart Pershing for a 14-6 triumph and the City League football championship Saturday afternoon in U. of D.

Stadium, there was none quite so impressed as a pair of Catholic League coaches, George Du-four and Art Massucci. Here's why: Dufour and Mas-sued will match their respective teams, St. Theresa's and St. Catherine's, in the Parochial title game on the same field at 2 p. m.

Sunday. To the winner will go the doubtful, pleasure of having to meet Cooley Thursday morning in the Goodfellows' charity contest in Briggs Stadium for the Detroit high-school grid crown. Gloomy Saturday That Coach Herb Smith and his Cardinals imbued Dufour and Massucci with some discouraging thoughts was evident from their statements after the game. Asked if they were impressed, they responded: "Impressed I'm depressed," said Dufour. 'Impressed I'm.

just dizzy," echoed Massucci. Cooley clearly demonstrated that it was the pick of the City League 1941 crop. The Cardinals didn't run up anything like the 49-8 score as they did against Mackenzie for the West Side title last Monday, but their superiority was just as great. All Scores Early Cooley struck once in each of the first two quarters on touchdowns by End Olin Evans and Fullback Elmer Thiede, permitted Pershing to close the margin In the late stages of the first half on Fullback Virgil Florea's plunge, and then played the better defensive ball in the scoreless second half. Cooley scored the first time it got the ball.

Pershing could do little after receiving the. kickoff and punted out on the Cooley 39. Bill Culligan and Thiede alternated on four plays to the Pershing 38. Bob Holden slipped 30 yards on a reverse to the 8, and after Culligan had lost two yards, Evans, playing right end on offense, came back on an end-around play and raced into the end zone. Kurt Kampe came In from the bench to boot the first of his two successful place-kicks for the extra point.

The Cardinals drove to Pershing's 29 and 26 on its next two thrusts but couldn't score. The third time they succeeded. Culligan started the march when he took Florea's punt on his 44 and returned it 16 yards. After a 15-yard penalty for holding against Cooley, Evans again broke loose on an end-around for 29 yards to the 26. Three running plays made nine yards and on fourth down Guard Art Wilson pulled out of the line and passed to Thiede on the 15, from where five blockers convoyed him over the line.

llnnlrl Ciarrrlt Knllirr Martin rain llnw Mrkar By the t. nlted Vrtt AUSTIN, Nov. 15 Texas University's dream team collapsed today in the final 10 seconds of its game with Texas Christian when a 24-yard forward pass produced a 14-7 upset TCU victory and put aa end to Texas' bowl hopes, Nation a 1 championship aspirations and even a chance for the Southwest Conference title. Going into the last play of the game, the Christians had a 7-7 tie. when Emery Nix threw a long desperation forward pass to Van Hall in the end zone, sounding the swan song for the team which had been ballyhooed as the greatest ever to be produced in the Southwest, Not Satisfied Last week it was Baylor which utilized the final seconds of the game for a touchdown play which netted a 7-7 tie with the vaunted Turn to Fnge 3, Column 8 Albion Defeats Hornets.

13-6 ALBION, Nov. 15 Albion College scored twice in the last quarter to defeat Kalamazoo College, 13 to, and capture second place in the 1941 MIAA football race. Bill Finni, sophomore Albion fullback, plunged over from the two yard line after a 55-yard march to wipe out Kalamazoo's 6-0 lead, gained in the first period when Al Reybern plunged over after a 63- yard drive. Paul Schneider's place- kick put Albion ahead, 7 to 6. Later in the final period, Ray Wauthier passed 26 yards to Bob Dales for another touchdown.

throughout the scoreless first half by a viciously charging line and a blanket coverage of Notre Dame pass receivers, the Irish fell on a fumble on Northwestern's 36-yard line in the opening seconds of the third period and two quick passes by Angelo Bertelli produced a touchdown. Somewhere on this aerial thrust, Northwestern's amazing pass de fense disintegrated and Bertelli was quick to spot the change. He pitched one good for 19 yards to Quarterback Harry Wright and after two line plays he fired an other to Matt Bolger, who took it on the one-yard line and stepped into the end zone. Steve Juzwik placekicked the extra point that gave Notre Dame its seventh victory in a season blemished only by a scoreless tie with Army. It was Northwestern's third defeat.
