Walter The Pittsburgh Pirates injured the Lions vanity but that was about all they accomplished in U. of D.

Stadium Sunday afternoon. The Pirates fired a forward pass that brought the only touchdown scored against the Lions this year. Then they bowed under a 40 to 7 score as the Liens smashed and passed to their eighth successive victory. The forward pass that made the Lioni wince came in the first period when the Detroiters were leading 7 to 0. Quarterback Vaughan, a tub up from Bellefonte Academy, stood on hit own 38-yard line and threw a pass over the Lion secondary defense into the arms of Joe Skladany, who was standing on the Lions' 40-yard line.

The former Pittsburgh All-America end ran the rest of the way to score, falling over the goal line at he was tackled by Dutch Clark, Lion quarterback. Clark blamed himself later for allowing the score, tayiag that he misjudged the past because of the wind and let it go over hit head into Skladany's arms. The extra point was kicked by Niccolai, the Pirate right tackle. That gave his team a 7-to-7 tie in the first quarter but that wat as far at the Pirates went. sjspssw- i -pun.

The Red Wings won he first game of the pre-season series, 8 to 3, and the Olympics the second, 4 to 3. It was by far the best exhibition came ever staged here and the big crowd got more than its moneys worth. Besides a lot of good and hard-bumping hockey, there were two impromptu fighta during the lone argument with Eddie Wiseman, of the Wings, and Gamey Lederman, of the O'g in the first, and Johnny Sorrell, of the Wings, and Norman Walker, of the O'e, in the other.

Sticks were carried high. Free style bumping was in order and robust charging and slashing were the rule as the teams fought it out on even terms although the Wings claimed a winning tally late in the overtime period when Wllf Starr deflected a bounding puck into the Olympics' goal. Referee Clarence Bush ruled the puck bounced Into the net off Starr's chest while Starr claimed he batted the puck with his stick. After the game, Coach Leder-man of the O's admitted that they had talked Bush out of the goal. Fortune Smile on O's A sliding puck gave the Olympics the lead midway in the "fir3t period.

Wally Kilrca's Bhot did not leave the ice and Lome Duguid met the purk at the goal mouth and turned it Into the open corner. There was tome doubt whether the puck went off Duguid's skate or stick, but Bush ruled the goal legitimate. The O's, checking back like hornets with the former Philadelphia line of Yank Boyd, Tommy Anderson and Connie King showing the way, retained their one-goal margin until late In the second period. Starr got the tying counter while Lederman and Wiseman were in the cooler. He took Lloyd Gross' perfect forward pass inside the defense after swinging clear of Ron Moffat and parked the rubber in the corner of the net back of John Ross Roach.

Both Norm Smith, in the Wings' goal, and Roach, played sensational hockey. Roach had more work to do than his rival in the first two periods, but it was about even after that with both turning aside well-meant shots from all angles in sensational fashion. Doesn't Solve Problem The game, instead of making Jack Adams' task of selecting the players who will wear the uniforms of the Red Wings during the championship campaign easier, only i made the problem more complicated. King, Boyd and Anderson looked like major leaguers with the O's. Lome Duguid also looked like he was about ready for another fling at the big time.

Wally Kilrea was dangerous all night while Starr and Patterson have shown enough to warrant being carried by the National League team. After the game, Adams was no nearer the solution to his problem than he was after the exhibition game with the Toronto Maple in Windsor Thursday night. Jen forwards still are in a fight for five places and the Wings' lot will not decide definitely on his personnel until Wednesday, the nay before the O's face the Windsor Bulldogs in the International League opener at Olympia. Although the game did not decide tne city championship, or whatever a teams were P'aying for, and it am not solve Adams' problem, it oid assure Lederman of a capable team of Olympics, regardless of which players Adams finally decides to use for the Wings.

Vn EKTIME PERIOD but the Michigan goal line defense took the ball away from them on downs. Enter Lund again after an exchange of punts. A second pass to Johnson advanced the ball to the Wolverine 16-yard line. Then Lund swept through the left side of the Michigan line, which suddenly had become an improved highway leading to a touchdown. ETWEEN halves Bernie Bierman had quite a little chat with his boys about Cedric Sweet.

A couple of husky Gophers made certain that Cedric no longer appeared to be the fifth Gopher back. And Lund't passing completed the job. Sweet could not come up to Except for that touchdown past 1 the Pirates never passed the 50-yard line and they got that far only once, late in the struggle. The game was the tort of a walkaway to which the Lion ant have been accustomed. Dutch Clark Ernie Caddel and Co.

ran wild most of the afternoon behind almost per fect interference to pile up the biggest score amassed by the club thit teason, and Papa Lumpkin, the blocking specialist, wat usually leading the parade. The Lions scored In every quarter, and went over the Pirates' goal line twice In each of the second and third periods. Frank Chrlsten-sen, fullback, and Dutch Clark each scored once; Harry Ebdlng, the brilliant end from St. Mary's, tallied once on a pass, and Ernie Caddel, ex-Stanford All-American, tallied three times. Caddel Leads Parade Caddel gained 132 yards to lead the Detroit backs, who made 426 yards by rushing compared to 67 for Pittsburgh.

The Lions gained a total of 566 yards against 131 lor Pittsburgh. It was the kind of a game that is making the Lions' fans believe their team is invincible. The linemen thwarted the Pirates at every turn. Pete Rajkovich, former University of Detroit fullback who was the Pirates' best ground gainer, made only 34 yards as big Jack Johnson, Bodenger, Ox Emerson and the others came piling through to stop play after play. Warren Heller, the former Pitt All-American back, wound up the afternoon without a single yard gain to hit credit The Lions scored on a variety of plays.

Long runs from scrimmage, forward passes, intercepted passes and straight marches all brought touchdowns. It was a straight march ftom their own seven-yard line that gave the Lion's their first score and the lead in the opening period. The longest gains In this drive came from a 20-yard run Caddel and a 15-yard dash by Buster Mitchell, tr.e left flankman, on an end around play. Frank Chrlstensen finally went one-foot through right tackle for the score. Tho Pirates followed with their surprise score, but the Lions didn't wait long to take the lead again.

Butch Clark did the work. After Caddel and Christensen had brought the ball from the Lions' 45-yard line to the Pirates' 46-yard stripe in two plunges Clark broke through the right side of the line and raced to the goal line behind perfect Interference. Clare Randolph, Lion center, smoothed the path by dumping the last Pirate defensive back on the 10-yard line. Trick Pass Net Score Not three minutes later the Lions were back across the Pirate goal again, this time on a beautiful passing play. Frank Christensen started things when he intercepted Tesser's toss and ran it up to the Pirate 37-yard A first down on the 24-yard line three playt later put Detroit In position to shoot the works.

Ernie Caddel took a pass from center and ran wide to the left with the whole Pirate line coming In at him. As he neared the sideline he stopped and threw a pass over the heads of his surprised pursuers to the right" hand corner of the gridiron, where Harry Ebdlng was waiting right on the goal stripe, looking very lonesome, with everyone on the other side or the Turn to Page 15 Column 6 County Three-Way Tie in Big Ten Now Regarded as Probable Minnesota, Illinois and Purdue Expected to Win Remaining Games Michigan Backs expected however, that Minnesota could score as easily as it did after the first half. And though the Michigan players fought gamely in the second period, it was apparent that the flame which had carried them to great heights in the first two periods had died down. Francis Lund quenched the Michigan fire. He quenched It with his leadership, passing, blocking, punt handling and running.

Michigan bowed to a great halfback, a greatly improved back over the one who played so well in the Ann Arbor Stadium a year ago. That Is 'the opinion of Frank-lyn C. Cappon, Michigan's assistant coach who fast is becoming one of the keenest observers in the game. Michigan's offense? There scarcely was any. And yet, little that Michigan -had, it came within split seconds and inches of scoring three touchdowns.

The fake place kick, most as widely known as "Old 83" failed only by inches. It was used first as a run by Jennings. He ran through, a typically bewildered Gopher eleven to the enemy four-yard line. Why it worked this observer can't tell. But the history of this play seems to be that it works best in the most ridiculous places.

The Wolverines were way over on the sideline. The angle for a placeklck was almost impossible. But to add to the absurdity of the situation it was third down. The ball was on the Gopher 14-yard line and yet it worked. Jennings advanced to the four-yard line.

After three plays he called the fake again, this time a pass, Regeczi to Ward. Johnny's toss slipped from the tips of Willis' fingers, missing a touchdown by inches. Ward laid out to the right on "sleeper pass" In the first period. The Goahers thought they knew the play and acted accordingly. They watched Ward, which was exactly what the Wolverines wanted.

Vincent Aug speeded out Into open territory along the side line on the other side of the field. Aug was behind the Min-Please Turn to Page 15 Column 7 there are others In the Gopher backfleld who are better. It was apparent to this server that Pug didn't run as hard as he did last fall. But he passed better. He was a smarter runner.

He handled punts as well as he ever did. And he performed an outstanding job of blocking. Pug Lund was the Minnesota player, who, more than any other, routed the Wolverines. Without Lund the whole game might have been an entirely different story. SELDOM has a football game produced such extremes In play from one half to another.

The Gopher fans, thousands of them, came to the game in smiling anticipation of applauding a touchdown parade in the first half. They remained in their seats strangely silent, unable to applaud even a first down parade. But the Gopher folks had their innings in the second half. Now what could make such a remarkable difference in tho Michigan defense and the Minnesota offense? In the first half, Cedric Sweet, so conducted himself that he virtually was the fifth man in the Minnesota backfield. He stopped Lund cold.

He charged in on Alfonse. He battered down the Gopher blocking units and for 30 minutes virtually held the most powerful offense in the Western Conference at bay single handed. What changed it? Pug. Lund started the touchdown parade by running back a punt to the Wolverine 43-yard line early in the third quarter. It was one of the few times during any game that Willis Ward allowed a punt receiver to get on the outside of him.

Within Michigan territory for the first time all oldtime Michigan halfbacks could have guessed Lund would pass. He did. Maurice Johnson, sub end for the injured Larson, caught the ball and went to Michigan's 30-yard line. Alfonse, Kostra ajid Lund pounded their way to the Michigan 20-yard' line, HARRY KIPKE, Stanley Fay, Doug Roby and Mike Paper, former Michigan halfbacks, all said following the Michigan-Minnesota a 1 1 game that they were satisfied to have played against the Gophers In years other than 1934. That is a tribute to Bernie Bierman's team.

But ere the season is finished it appears that many other honors will be heaped on the 1934 Minnesota eleven. It seems quite probable that William Bevan, guard, and Francis (Pug) Lund, halfback, will be placed on Grant-land Rice's official All-America football team. When It Is recalled that Frank Larson was an All-America end choice last autumn it becomes more apparent why the former Michigan halfbacks were content to watch last Saturday's game. The experts of the North country, at least some of them, declare that Pug isn't the man he was last year. They say 'Bennie, What Happened? 9 Is Moot Question ANN Benjamir ARBOR.

Nov. 4 Mrs. in Oosterbaan, bride of the University of Michigan end coach for only a few months, expressed the sentiment of many Wolverine football fans when she greeted her husband here today. Somewhat sheepishly Oosterbaan, who had scouted the rugged Gophers from Minnesota all season, stepped off the train. He strode toward his young wife silently.

Briskly, she moved away from hundreds of others to have a word alone with the coach. Tears came to her eyes and her voice broke as she "Bennie, what happened?" The Michigan end coach caught his wife by the irm and hurried off toward a waiting car without replying. One of Many Giants, 27 to 7 Halt Newman Passes in Eighth Victory CHICAGO, Nov. 4 (A.P.)-Tb Chicago Bears bottled up the passing of Harry Newman and the running of Ken Strong for all but a few minutes today, while their own offense functioned brilliantly to account for a 27-to-7 victory over the New York Glanta at Wrlgley Field. The triumph was the eighth straight for the National Professional League champions and enabled them to keep pace with the Detroit Lions in the leadership race.

The Bears scored during the first two minutes and had 21 points before the Giants picked up their touchdown In the last frame. The Bears kicked off to the Glanta and after Strong punted on second down, needed only two playt to score. Beattie Feathers ran Strong' kick back 12 yards to the Giants 49. Bronko Nagurskl made six yards through the line and on tha next play, Carl Brumbaugh passed to Bill Karr who ran 10 yards over the goal line after making the catch. Near the end of the period, Brumbaugh Intercepted one of Newman's passes, and Feathers and Nagurskl hammered away from the 41-yard lint in five plays, with the former Minnesota ttar scoring.

In the third period Feathers and Gene Raman! battered to the 10-yard line. From there Feathert tossed to Brumbaugh over the goal line. Jack Manders kicked the three extra points. Newman, with two 22-yard dashes and a pair of short passes to Strong, took the ball to the Bear 12-yard line in the last period, and after being stopped on three plays, went around end for the touchdown. He also kicked the goal.

The last Bear score came a few minutes later, Red Grange taking a 36-yard pass from George Corbett and running 10 yards for the touchdown. Bernie Masterson missed the goal. Tha timmsry: NKW iOR bear. nr j. nrM t.raiit lT 1 r.

A driving rain ruined most of tha famed Green Bay passing attack today but the Packers splashed along to a 10-0 victory over tha Boston Redskins before 18,000. Arnold (Flash) Herber, reputed to be the greatest passer In professional football, was able to complete only two of his eight heaves but one of them, a 15-yard toss to his favorite receiver, Lavern Dilweg, la the Boston end zone, registered a touchdown late in the third period. Earlier Clarke Hinkle put tha Packers ahead with a magnificent placement field goal from Boston's 41-yard line. The heavy slippery ball sailed over the croaa-bar with 10 yards to spare.

Pug's passing spread the Michigan defense; took strength away from it where it was needed most and paved the way for the rout. The Michigan team, though bruised some by the relentless Minnesota blocking, still had worlds of defensive fight left in it. It wilted, as all teams will wilt, after the completion, of Pug's second pass.

Probably no member of the Wolverine team believed in the first place that Michigan could win. They took the field determined to sell every yard dearly. No member of the team a lot out -of the Chlcagoans and with Ohio: State, Minnesota and Illinois coming up as opponents it does not seem possible that the Maroons will find themselves again. All Teams In Action Championship games will occupy the attention of all Big Ten teams next Saturday with a full schedule of five gamea coming up for decision. Minnesota playa Indiana at Minneapolis, Purdue takes on Iowa at Iowa, City, and Illinois plays Northwestern at Evanston.

In the other games, Chicago battles Ohio State at Columbus while Michigan meets Wisconsin at Ann Arbor, Minnesota and Purdue undoubtedly will roll up decisive victories as both Indiana and Iowa have definitely established themselves as second division teams. The Gophers annihilated the Wolverines yesterday, burying them under a 34 to 0 score to bring their total points for the season up to 171 to 31 for their opponents. This is the first time that Minnesota had defeated Michigan on the Gopher's home gridiron since 1892. Illinois Will Be Tough The Minnesota-Wolverine game was a blistering battle despite the lopsidedness of the score. The Gophers will long remember the first 30 minutes of the game because never once did they reach midfield and accomplished only one first down.

When the wild men from the North got into action in the second half, however, the Wolverines never touched the ball except to kick off while Minnesota waa blasting their first pair of touchdowns. Illinois' title seeking eleven, nosing out Army 7 to 0 in a battle of wind, rain and mud, gives evidence of being mighty tough from now on. Illinois' lone touchdown represented the breaks between the two elevens, otherwise almost evenly matched. Illinois, however, gave the impression of greater passing strength than It revealed. The Wisconsin-Michigan game Saturday will have no bearing on the championship situation since both teams are maidens in so far aa conference vlcteries are concerned.

Wisconsin, beaten 'i to 0 by Northwestern yesterday, may be in for another lacing from the Wolverines. Ohio State and Chicago come up to their game tied for fourth place with two victories and one defeat each. The Buckeyes since their one point defeat by Illinois have been gathering speed as they go along and figure to trample over the Maroons, Nov. 4 (A. A three-way tie for 1934 championship honors of the Western Con ference looms up as a strong possibility with the windup of the season just tnree weeks away.

Minnesota, Illinois and Purdue remain the only undefeated, teams. They probably will sail right on through the season without defeat, as none of their opponents yet to oe played appear capaDle ol upsetting them. Purdue, undefeated in conference play, has only Iowa and Indiana to conquer, while the Minnesota powerhouse winds up its season taking Indiana, Chicago and Wisconsin in order. Illinois must play and Chicago. The championship problem of the Maroons was definitely exploded yesterday.

-Purdue encountered stubborn resistance from tnem, but walked off the field with a 26 to 20 victory.
