111.. Nov. 9 The University of Illinois football team bottled up Michigan's passing attack, also its running game, and won a Homecoming liay football game in the rain, 3 to 0. Approximately 25,000 spectators saw young Lowell Spurgeon, fleet Zuppke back, kick a twenty-two-yard goal from placement late in the second period to win the game. Illinois, high spirited and definitely the team with the highest morale today, carried the fight all the way to the Wolverines, marching the ball within whispering distance of the Michigan goal line on four occasions, paced by Spurgeon, Wib Henry and a punter who matched the boots of Cedric Sweet big Robert Wright, Zuppke'i right halfback.

Only on one occasion did Michigan even get within shouting distance of the Illini goal. That was in the second period when, aided by a strong wind from the south, the Michigan captain and quarterback, Bill Renner, piloted his team across the fifty-yard line.

All hopes of a National championship to match the last Rockne model of 1930 and a place in tne Kose kowi went tumbling.

9 Princeton's Orange and Black floated mile high over the Crimson today. The Tiger carried entirely too many fangs and claws for Harvard's green but game young team, 45,000 spectators saw the Tigers swarm across the Harvard goal. line for five touchdowns as Princeton buried the Crimson, 35 to 0, for one of the heaviest defeats in the history of this ancient rivalry. For Harvard was up against one of the great football teams of the year a big, fast team that carried both skill and experience, both quality and quantity. To vary the menu Princeton scored on down field marches, on forward passes, on one Intercepted forward and one blockea kick.

The first damaging Tiger thrust came early in the opening period when White snagged a Harvard kick and ran the ball back 30 yards to Harvard's twenty-two-yard line before Biladeau dived and brought him down. Five plays and Pauk was over the line for the first The next touchdown just before the period closed was a killing break. Blladeau's long spiral had sailed rifep into Tiger territory. After Princeton's return punt Harvard had the ball on her enemy's thirty-two-yard line. The Harvard cheering section was coming to life when Moseley fell back and tried to pass.

But GHlea, Princeton's able end, blocked the pass and as the ball popped Into the air, P.itter, Priftceto-i's tackle gathered it to his brea.it and ran 60 yards for another score.

By W. W. Edgar EAST LANSING, Nov. 9-Lou. Zarza, the stocky little end who enacted the hero's role in Michigan State's victory over'Temple a week ago, pulled a "bonehead" play in the last three minutes of a wild battle here this afternoon and the Spartans were forced to accept defeat against the whirling Golden Avalanche of Marquette University.

Trailing 13 to 0 shortly after the final period opened, the Spartans unleashed a sustained march of 86 yards that culminated in a touchdown by Dick Collna and put new hope Into a homecoming day gathering of more than 20,000 persons that had come to re-dedlcate the Stadium In honor of John Farrell Macklin, a former coach. But these hopes were blasted In the next few, fleeting seconds, when Zarza foolishly attempted a lateral pass, while racing goalward with the tying touchdown and the ball fell to the ground before Art Brandstetter could recover. And when the ball hit the ground the shouting thousands saw the Spartans' doom written In large white numerals on the scoreboard. 13 to 7. Zarza's foolish lateral came in the midst of one of the wildest scenes ever enacted on the gridiron tlORe beside the winding Cedar.

Staring defeat in the face with only three minutes to play, the Spartans put their faith in one of those desperate passing attacks. Starting from their own 26-yard line, the Spartans came up the field in the battle against time when Agett hurled a short pass to Dick Collna that was good for five yards.
