"But it sure would be a whale of a ball game if our old team could meet this Michigan squad and anything could happen." Just then, the Gophers trotted out on the field for the second half. Willie looked at them and marveled at their size. "The Gophers always are powerful," he said.

"Even back in my days they were powerful." BIT LOU KUSSEROW Columbia "ATT. WE NEEDED Heston BY W. W. EDGAR Free Press Staff Writer ANSI ARBOR Willie Heston, one of the most glamorous names of Michigan's glorious past in football, sat opposite the 50-yard line in the stadium Saturday. He was staring off into space dreaming of another day when a Minnesota team was making things uncomfortable for the Wolverines.

Finally, he ended his silence. Bump Elliott had just taken a pass from Bob Chappuis to score a touchdown. Willie, star halfback of Yost's "point-a-minute" team broke into a smile. "That's how we'll beat them afternoon oh, if only the pass had been thought of back in my day," he said. WILLIE SAT there, drifting back through the years along memory lane.

"You know," he said, "we didn't lose a game in four years on the varsity. But we were tied once and the Gophers did it." How did he compare the presr ent Michigan team with the "point-a-minute" squad of his day? "That's awful hard to say," Willie countered. "You know we didn't have the pass and none of the intricate ball handling behind the line. That makes a difference, too." IF SUCH a thing were possible, how did he think the present Michigan team would fare in a battle against his old team Willie shook his head and bit another small end from his cigar. "That would really be hard to he opined.

"But it sure would be a battle. Maybe the pass would do it but I wouldn't want to say, because we sure could go along the ground." How did he think the individual players would compare with the players of his day, such as Germany Schulz, the big center, and. "Boss" Weekes, the field general of the "point-a-minute' team. "There was only one Germany Schulz," he answered. "He was the best of all centers still is rated the all-time Ail-America." Then Willie stared off int3 space; his eyes leveled far above the crowd of 86,000 spectators.

"I do think this," he said. "I think that 'Boss' Weekes was a bit better field than this boy Yerges.

Touchdowns DIMatteo, PITTSBURGH The Pitt Panthers, thumped by four rivals this season, burst the shackles xf defeat and gave a crowd of 55,217 a thrill by up setting Ohio State, 12-0, on homecoming day. The victory also ended a record of Nine" supremacy over the Panthers which had extended nine years through 24 games.

OHIO STATE, with a record of one victory, a tie and two defeats before Saturday, literally let the game slip through its fingers. Fumbles ended one scoring threat and put the Buckeyes constantly in the hole through the first half until Pitt negotiated its first touchdowii. That honor fell to Sub Left Half back Tony DiMatteo, who plunged over from three yards out with two seconds of the half left. A poor punt which rolled out on the Ohio State 29 set the stage. A FOUR-YARD pass from Carl Depasqua to "Bimbo" Cecconi connected for the second Pitt touchdown with 10:50 of the fourth quarter gone.

The score climaxed a 30-yard drive. Aside from the two scoring thrusts, there was little to choose between the two teams, Ohio State piled up a 129 to 47 yards advantage in rushing but was powerless when the chips were down. The Buckeyes fumbled 10 times ana lost the ball fou times. Pitt recovered its two bobbles. A FUMBLE by Fullback Ollie Cline on the Pitt 27 ruined the Bucks' only first half chance as Pitt recovered.

At the start of the second half, the Bucks surged goalward. But the march -which started on the Ohio 35 ended against a concrete wall of Pitt determination on the Panther six. It was a sad return to Pittsburgh for Wes Fesler, Ohio State mentor, and a neart-warning tn umph for Pitt Coach Mike Mul ligan, who assisted Fesler at Pitt last year.

(JP) Missouri's big and fast Tigers, fashioned in trickery, beat Iowa State, 26 to 7, today for their second straight Big Six Conference football victory.
