In order to score twice in those fateful seven minutes, Marquette needed some as sistance from Detroit. It came in the form of a low pass from center to punter Ray Davis on fourth down. This error made it necessary for the Warriors to go only 55 yards for the tying touchdown. Marquette went 60 yards in seven plays for the first, 55 yards in seven plays for the next. Hall hit on two key passes, each for 17 yards to Si Woods who was the best ballcarrier and pass receiver on the field.

110 FLIPS FOR Sawin (78), Iowa tackle, and Don Shipanik guard, move in to stop Harper. Michigan center Jim Dickey (57) had his helmet knocked off as he helped clear the way for Darrell Harper MARQUETTE HAPPY TO OBLIGE Hall finally got the last five yards himself on a sprint through the line. A 22-yard peg to Frank Reginelli was one clutch play in the second drive. Even more important was Hall's own 23-yard contribution when he sprinted to the two after being trapped on a pass attempt. Woods went the final one for the payoff.

UNTIL THOSE sequences, the day belonged to the Titans. They were in full control and appeared absurd that a team so inept as Marquette ever would make a contest out of it Detroit cashed a break for THREE TDs game, he had thrown three touchdown passes and set up the fourth for a 27-6 half-time lead.

In fairytales, the tortoise may beat the hare, but it doesn't happen in big-time sports. The University of Iowa demonstrated that conclusively for 68,566 fans this bright, brisk November Saturday as it took another giant step toward the Big Ten championship and a Rose Bowl berth by de- feating the University of Michigan, 37 to 14. THE VICTORY was Iowa's fourth straight in conference competition and, coupled with Ohio State's loss to Northwestern, gave the Hawkeyes a commanding edge in the title race. This wasn't a satin-smooth, flawless football team which Iowa put on the field. It was a team with glaring defensive weaknesses and one which committed enough mistakes to be beaten soundly.

But one quality speed and more speed was sufficient to overcome an its otner oen-ciencies. Michigan could match or surpass Iowa in every other phase of the game, but the Wolverines had no answer for the Hawk-eyes' explosive speed. In key situations the Iowa backs literally ran away and hid from Michigan.

BY HAL MIDDLESWORTH Free Presa Staff Writer EAST LANSING Michigan State came to the crossroads Saturday and went limping off toward the Big Ten scrap heap. The Spartans succeeded in scoring their only touchdown in the last 10 quarters of action, but that wasn't enough. Wisconsin matci.ed the touchdown and won. 9 to 7, on sn 18-yard field goal by John Hobbs to make it a sad day.

Indeed, for 71,040 old grads and other homecoming fans. THE SETBACK ended any chance for a winning, season in the Big Ten. The Spartans have dropped three straight, their longest losing streak since 1954, with tailenders Indiana and Minnesota still to be played. Even beating them would give State a 2-3-1 conference finish, their lowest in four seasons. For Wisconsin, the victory was another step toward a re turn to the Rose Bowl and a possible shot at the Big Ten title.

The Badgers' conference mark is 2-1-1. And they have two non-conference victories as does Michigan State. STATE DID NOT go down without a fight. Twice balked in the first half once when Dean Look's 80-yard touchdown gallop was canceled by a clipping penalty the Spartans had enough left to stage a spirited rally pfter the intermission and threaten Wisconsin's 9-0 lead. Mike Panitch, demoted in a.

wholesale shakeup a week ago, came off the bench to pull the Spartans together for an 87-yard scoring march In which sophomore Al Lup-low played a heroic role. Luplow carried th ball eight times and covered 54 yards of the distance. That took the Spartans from their own 13-yard line to the Badgers' seven and from there Panitch pitched a scoring pass to Big Sam Williams. The huge Spartan end made a sensational falling catch, sliding out of the end zone as he clutched the ball to his chest, then kicked the only ex tra point the Spartans have booted this season. It was their first touchdown since the second period of their 14-6 loss to Purdue two weeks go.

THE SPARTANS had two other good chances in the first half. Early in the game, they drove 70 yards with the help of a 15- Turn to Page 3, Column 1 Big Ten Conference Standings CONFERENCE ALL GAMES PF PA I. PF PA Town rr Purdue Wise. Illinois H. Ind.

EVAN ST ON, 111 (AP) Sophomore Dick Thornton passed for Northwestern's longest aerial touchdown in history in the third period and then ran and tossed for two more scores in the fourth to wheel the Wildcats to a stunning 21-0 rout of Ohio State Saturday. The loss was the Buckeyes' first in the Big Ten in two years, and it marked the first time Northwestern had beaten thenl since 1948. It also was the Wildcats' biggest decision edge since its series started in 1913.

It couldn't have been more opportune since the second largest crowd ever to gather in Dyche Stadium, 51,102, was on hand to cheer on the homecoming triumph which gave the conference Cinderella team a 5-1 season mark. The 'Cats didn't win a game last year. A DEFENSIVE struggle, in which neither side could come within 18 vards of scoring, was broken Open by the 180-pound I Thornton in the last 90 seconds! Of the third period. The former all-star prep from Chicago, standing on the Northwestern 33, passed to junior halfback Ron Burton, of Springfield. O.

The spiral snuggled into Burton's arms on the Buckeye 35 and he streaked diagonally to the first touchdown with the Ohio defenders caught in the backwash. The play, good for 67 yards, eclipsed the old Northwestern record of 66 on Don Burson's touchdown toss to Ed Tunni-cliff in 1949. Thornton booted the point and Northwestern was ahead, 7-0. IN THE FOURTH quarter the irrepressible Thornton was a one-man show as he plunged for one touchdown, passed for another and flipped an aerial for a two-point conversion. Midway in the final period, for the second time, in the game, Northwestern's defense stopped the Buckeyes' bulldozing fullback, Bob White, on fourth down and a yard to go.

Northwestern took over on the Buckeye 44. After two Turn to Page 6, Column 3 Our Teams Were There Saturday was a bright sunny day perfect for taking pictures.

Bruins Give Red Wings Chills, 3-1 Defenseman Ruins Ullman's Effort Picture on Page Six. BOSTON (UPI) Defenseman Jim Morrison scored the tie-breaking goal and set up another Saturday to lead the Boston Bruins to a 3-1 National Hockey League victory over the Detroit Red Wings before 7,879 Garden fans and a nationwide television audience. Morrison, acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs after last season, put the second-place Bruins ahead, 2 to 1, with a 45-foot screamer late in the middle period, his first tally of the season. GOALIE DON" Simmons was a big factor in the victory though he was called on for only 18 stops. He missed his first shutout of the campaign on Norm Ullman's 15-footer in the second period.

The Bruins started out on the wrong skate, going two men short in the first two minutes. But the Ked Wings failed to capitalize and Vic Stasiuk went down the right boards to set up Johnny Bucyyk on a close-in shot at 4:19 and give Boston the lead Ullman knotted the count at 0:42 of the second period after taking passes from Goalie Howe and Alex Delvecchio. Morrison netted his long shot at 17:57 of the second and then passed into Toppazzini at 0:33 of the final period. Toppy scored his eighth goal of the season. FIRST PERIOD: 1 Boston.

The Titans clicked twice in the second quarter and appeared in full command until quarterback Pete Hall engineered two late drives for the payoff. As it turned out, Detroit was lucky not to lose. Marquette squared it at 14- all with 1:40 to go, and still had the extra-point try ahead. COACH Johnny Druze made the decision how to go about this delicate and highly important maneuver. His Warriors had collected a two-pointer the first time on a nifty pass, but this time he played the SO-Called odds, Surveys have shown that kicks are more certain Marquette's kick was not, however, so the Titans escaped defeat.

Ernie Safran, with a two-for-three record this season, tried the boot and sailed it wide to the left. Onrushing Detroit blockers spoiled his aim perhaps. Without Hall, however, no such late nonsense ever could have developed. DETROIT I LAD a game wrapped up for keeps until this basketball player with cleats started his tricks. A junior from Farrell, Hall came to Marquette on a basketball scholarship and never fooled with football until practice last spring when he Irish Sic Junior on Navy -Boy, Can He Pass, '40-20 its first TD, going only 18 yards after tackle Grady Alderman recovered a Hall fumble.

Bruce Maher battered for three yards before third-string quarterback Bob Lusky passed to fullback Jerry Leszczynski for the marker. That was at 4:00 of the period and at 12:20 Detroit hit again. Maher outdistanced the secondary on a wide sweep! right from the four to cap a 51-yard drive. Dave Loner, No. 4 quarterback, ran this part of the show Turn to Fage 2, Column 5 Two sophomore halfbacks, Joe Bellino, of Navy, and Bill Mack, of Notre Dame, provided the long-range thrills for the capacity crowd of 57,773 in Memorial Stadium.

Bellino, from Winchester, raced 82 yards for a touchdown after taking a reverse handoff on a kickoff and caught a 46-yard pass for another. MACK, WHO was sent to prep school by Navy, also scored twice, once on a 65- yard runback of a punt. Izo completed 10 of his 16 passes for 181 yards while his Irish defenders kept Navy's pitching star, Joe Tranchini, deep in the locker. Tranchini's touchdown pass to Bellino was his only scoring one in a game in which he got off only six passes and completed four. BALTIMORE tfl Notre Dame left Navv in the wake of three second-period touchdowns nn the rtassintr nf quarterback George Izo and cruised to a resounding 40-20 football victory Saturday.

Notre Dame's winning score was only a point shy of its 1948 record total in the 33 games with Navy. It equaled the most scored on Navy in nine years of coaching by Eddie Erdelatz, Maryland setting the mark in 1951 with a 40-21 victory. IZO, 205-POUND junior from Barberton, retired in the third quarter with his Irish ahead, 34 to 14. Coach Terry Brennan had given him the starting- role this afternoon after Notre Dame had lost two of its first five games. Izo more than justified Lh change.
