Houtteman, the first "name" player in the major leagues to be drafted, went through the induction center at Fort Wayne at 8 a.m. Friday.

Paints after touchdown Leahjr 3. BY DICK PETERS Two Friday the 13th "black cats" fumbling and an impotent passing attack sent University of Detroit's football team down to defeat once more. This time it was Marquette University which took advantage of the Titan weaknesses to earn a 27-14 victory. The statistics tell the story: U. of D.

gained 307 yards on the ground, only 30 in the air. It fumbled five times, lost the ball four times. THREE OF THE fumbles led directly to Marquette touchdowns. The other ended a drive which might have given Detroit a tie or a one-point lead in the fourth quarter. On the other hand, Marquette completed seven of 14 passes for 122 yards and didn't lose the ball at all on fumbles.

To Coach Lisle Blackbourn's Hilltoppers it was a particularly sweet victory. It was their first on the road since 1947 when they beat Arizona in their last game. IT ALSO EVENED the count between U. of D. and Marquette.

Each has now won eight games in the long series. Two have been ties. One of the bright spots in this second straight Titan defeat was the return to action of Joggin' Mike Goggins, junior fullback. Goggins scored both U. of touchdowns, the first of his career as a Titan varsity gridder.

He also gained 112 yards on 13 tries to lead the ground attack. Goggins started the Titans off on the right foot as he crashed 2 yards for the first touchdown on an off-tackle slant reminiscent of his 1949 running. He been out with injuries during the Titans' first three games except for a few fleeting moments against Wichita. AFTER GOGGINS run and Sam Cipparone's conversion had given Detroit a 7-0 lead late in the first period, catastrophe struck. Jack O'Leary, a senior playing in terrible luck this fall, fumbled three times in the second period, and each muff resulted in Hilltopper scores.

First, O'Leary bobbled on the Titan 22 and End Bill Jelinske fell for it for Marquette. On the first play Don Leahy passed to Ralph Esposito, who outran the U. of D. secondary for a touchdown. Leahy made his first of four successful conversions.

ON THE NEXT Titan drive, O'Leary fumbled again and Marquette's Charley Mangio recovered on the Detroit 48. A Leahy-to-George Varish pass for 27 yards was the big play before Leahy sneaked over from the one. He missed the extra point, but Marquette was ahead to stay, 13 to 7. O'Leary ran the kickoff back to the U. of D.

30, but fumbled when hit and Joe Masnaghetti, Riant tackle, recovered to the dismay of the 12,356 fans. Eight were all that was necessary to score, Esposito banging over from the four. Leahy's conversion made it 20 to 7 at half-time. IX THE SECOND half U-D completely outplayed the visitors on the ground, but with little passing to spread the Marquette defense, only one touchdown resulted. That came on a tremendous 77-yard drive with the opening kickoff in which O'Leary, Charley Robinson and Goggins featured.

Mike raced over from the two on a pitchout, Cipparone converted and Detroit was within striking distance. After holding off Marquette three times, the Titans started another ground eating attack which carried from their 34 to the Marquette 28. Not a pass was used. Then, on fourth down, Robinson fumbled and Marquette took over again, marching 65 yards for an insurance touchdown. Leahy tallied it from the two.

THE UNHAPPY combination of fumbles and inept passing set the Titans up for their first road trip next week-end when they invade Tulsa in a Missouri Valley Conference engagement. 3 Boston U. Is Upset by St. Bonaventure ROSTON (JP) Tfti Mnrrhihrfvin nn nmnrirnrlv rnnl ennVin. NEW YORK Army puts three glittering football prizes on the line in cavernous Yankee Stadium Saturday when it tangles with the University of Michigan.

A sellout throng of 67,076 will see the Cadets risk: 1 Their rating as the Nation's No. 1 collegiate team. 2 A string of 22 games which they are unbeaten. in 3 A perfect record in their series with the Wolverines, which ends temporarily with this contest. With the upset of Notre Dame by Purdue a week ago, Army vaulted into the top spot in the major national polls.

The Cadets received solid support of gridiron experts in the voting, while Michigan was hard pushed to gain a spot in the first 20. ARMY CARRIES into the game an unbeaten string which dates back to late in the 1947 campaign. After the Cadets were toppled, 27 to by Notre Dame the finale of that long and colorful series, they started their present skein. The string which now is stretching into its fourth campaign, comprises 20 victories and two ties. This is the fourth game of the Army Michigan series.

The Cadets opened the series with a 28-7 triumph on. this same field back in 1945. They followed with a classic 20-13 triumph at Ann Arbor the next year when the great combine of Glenn Davis and Felix (Doc) Blanchard met one of its greatest tests of an all-conquering three year span. Last season back in the giant Michigan bowl, the Cadets triumphed, 21 to 7. The odds-makers have installed Army as the solid two touchdown favorite.

The choice is based on a belief Army has the superior speed, power and depth. WHILE MICHIGAN has been forced to shelve the two platoon system which its former coach, H. O. (Fritz) Crisler, popularized, Earl (Red) Blaik still has the manpower to make it work for Army. The Cadets have only one player out or 44 on their first two effen-sive and defensive units.

The lone two-way performer is Gil Reich, the second string offensive quarterback who plays safety on defense. The Cadets are 'loaded" with backfield talent. Coach Blaik has two complete sets of offensive stars to throw against Michigan. Five of the eight offensive stars played in the triumph over the Wolverines a year ago. With a first string quartet composed of Boh Blaik, Jim Cain, Frank Fischl and Gil Stephenson, Army possesses a backfield with a wide edge over Michigan.

THE TOP PERFORMER on the Army offensive line is Captain Dan Foldberg at left end. Army has a defensive unit that outshines the combine which stopped Michigan a year ago. Indicative of the strength is the fact that Ben Brian, a standout defensive guard against the Wolverines in 1949, now is playing back of Bob Volonnino. Michigan's chances of pulling an upset center strictly around Chuck Ortmann's physical condition, how long he is able to play, and how sharp his passing will be in his first test of the campaign. Ortmann suffered a severely sprained ankle late in the first quarter of the Michigan State game.

He sat out the rest of the Spartan encounter and missed all the Dartmouth battle last week. Ortmann admittedly is below par and it is a question how long he can last what is certain to be rough going. A year ago against Army he was injured in the first quarter and the attack sagged without him. THE ANKLE injury has limited Ortmann's offensive use to one running play this season. Whether his passes can be "on target" in view of the lack of work is open to question.

If Ortmann's ankle holds up and he can keep the Cadet de-f ense spread with his passes, Michigan is conceded a chance. Should the star left half be sidelined early, the Wolverines' hopes are dim. Neither Don Peterson or Bill Pvtich has demonstrated ability to replace Ortmann as a passer. And it is through the air, Michigan will have to strike its most damaging blows.

Apparently more concerned with next week's potential West Side title game with U. of the heavily favored Huskies barely stumbled over Central, 7 to 6. It was a nonleague engagement which will not affect the- league standings. But it gave the Huskies a rude jolt and almost ended their three-game winning streak. THEY HAD to survive a last- minute scare, and only an untested place-kicker's wide boot kept their record unmarred by a tie in the final ,30 seconds.

After wasting several scoring chances in the first half, Rcd-oord finally connected in the third period with the aid of a short punt that sailed out on the Central 25, and a pass Interference penalty. Larry Price tallied off right tackle from the eight-yard line and Dick Irvine kicked the game-winning point. Central, which carried the fight most of the way, bounded back midway in the final period as it opened a 60-yard drive. THE 'BLAZERS finally delivered the equalizing touchdown with a half -minute left by sending Karl Komplua over from the three-yard line. But End Dick Mosely, making his first attempt as a place-kicker, sent the boot wide of the posts, and Central suffered its second straight one-point loss.
