That's what defeated North western by five points last Satur day. That plus a will to win that turned Irish players into frenzied battering rams when their victory streak was jeopardized. IT WAS A STORY with paral lels in other Notre Dams teams Knute Rockne came up with an unknown named Bucky O'Connor In 1930 to beat Southern Cal Leahy broke out unheard-of Coy McGee two years ago to conquer mat same team. It has been the same story down through the years. There always is somebody on the bench who comes through In the clutch.

And so It was at South Bend against Northwestern. The Wildcats of the Western Conference led in the third pe riod, 7 to 6, after Fullback Art Murakowski had sped 90 yards to score on an intercepted aerial from Frank Tripucka. THERE WERE 15 minutes and SO seconds left in the bruising battle when Halfback Billy Gay returned a punt by Northwest-ern's Frank Aschenbrenner from his 19 to his 37. The third period ended before the Irish could run a play. While the teams were changing goals for the final quarter, Coach Leahy scanned his bench.

Halfback Red Sitko, his top ball carrier, was injured and had never been in this game. He couldn't use Sitko. Both of his best fullbacks, John-jiy Panelll and Mike Swistowicz, were out of this one already with a mild concussion, Swistowicz with a sprained elbow. So Leahy motioned to Half- back Johnny Landry, a 180- pound sophomore from Roches-. ter, N.

Y. Like Gay, Landry 1 wasn't even mentioned in the Notre Dame football prospectus. He was just another unknown. But he didn't stay an unknown long. He went into the game at left half.

Gay was at right. LANDRY CARRIED the ball on the first two plays of the final i period. He went from his 37 to his 39 on the first one and then smacked to the 47. Gay carried I to the 50, and Landry broke over tackle for 13 more to the Wildcat 37. A penalty moved the ball back to the 42 and End Bill Wightkin, formerly of Detroit's Catholic Central, then came around to car- i ry the ball to the 36.

IT WAS LANDRY to the 30, Gay to the 27, Landry to the 15, Gay to the 10. Landry was stopped Gay banged to the four, Landry cracked to the cne and Gay lunged over. That was the ball game and JJohnny Landry, of Rochester Aquinas High School), no longer 1 was another unknown Notre Dame reserve.

The verdict left the Browns the only unbeaten team in professional football. The 49ers absorbed their first loss before 82,768 fans in Cleveland's Lakefront Stadium, the largest crowd ever to see a regular season pro game. While the AAC was settling temporarily its Western Division fight, three teams drew into a first-place tie in the East, BALTIMORE rallied for 28 points in the final half to whi the Chicago Rockets. 38 to 24. New York's Yankees defeated Brooklyn, 21 to 7, and a last-minute touchdown gave Los Angeles a 27-20 edge over Buffalo.

These proceedings left the Yankees, Bills and Colts deadlocked with five victories and six defeats each. The Cleveland-San Francisco clash was just as much of a tussle as was expected. A recovered fumble by Capt. Lou Savan, of the Browns, on the opening kickoff set up the first Cleveland touchdown. Otto Graham missed a pass, then scampered 14 yards for the tally on a fake aerial.

San Francisco came back 82 yards to even the count with Fullback Joe Perry scoring on a one-yard buck. Cleveland punched 84 yards in 11 plays after the second-half kickoff for the winning touchdown. Edgar Jones swept wide across the goal, and Lou Groza added the second of the extra points. Y. A.

TITTLE tossed for two Baltimore touchdowns and Jess Freitas threw three for Chicago in the Rocket-Colt duel at Baltimore. With 30 seconds to play Glenn Dobbs passed three yards to Joe Aguirre for Los Angeles' winning touchdown at Buffalo. Earlier Dobbs had run across two other Don tallies. Altogether he passed for 149 yards and rushed for 66. Harvey Johnson ran his extra-point kicking string to 68 as the Yankees toyed with Brooklyn.

Johnson is now four short of the professional record set by Jack Marrders. Buddy Young, Pete Layden and Lowell-Tew scored for the Yanks, and Bob Chappuis passed to Bob Hoernschemeyer for the Dodgers' counter. Driver Hurt in Coast Race SAN LEANDRO, Calif.

The Wings accomplished both these deeds with a 3-1 decision over the Chicago Blackhawks. The season's largest hockey crowd 16,984 fans at the Chicago sta dium saw the scrappy contest which was deadlocked until the last 22 minutes.

GERRY COUTURE and Sid Abel produced the late goals that tucked away the verdict. With the victory Detroit moved two points in front of Montreal and Boston. Beaten In their last three road games, the Wings never trailed In this one. Now they have a fairly respectable road record of two triumphs and a tie in six starts. Jim McFadden touched off the scoring while Adam Brown was in' the penalty box.

Taking relays from Bui Quackenbusn and Red Kelly, McFadden hooked a shot by Jim Henry. THE HAWKS quickly got back the game when Gaye Stewart blasted a 35-footer that slipped past Harry Lumley. There was some fistic action but no more scoring until late in the second stanza. The nights best fight was staged early In the period between Bob Goldham and Bud Polle, with Chicago's Bep Guid-olln crowding into the act enough to share in the penalties. Couture finally put Detroit ahead to stay, taking George Gee's pass at the goal and converting from five feet out.

ABEL FLASHED some dipsy-doo in delivering his late "clincher" goal. He weaved through the Chicago team before setting and firing a 30-footer. Lumley played an important part in the game, working especially hard the last two periods. He made 28 saves to Henry's 25. DETROIT (3) CHICAGO (1 I.nmlejr Goal Henrr Quarkenbnh Dirkens 1.

Hunters BY JACK VAN COEVERING Free Press Wildlife Writer GAYLORD Michigan's red- clad army of hunters was dug in awaiting Monday morning attack on the state's deer herd. A light snow which blanketed the northern counties promised favorable conditions. SOUTH OF Gaylord there was some rain. Hunters here were hoping it would turn to snow overnight. There seems to be a big shift of hunters to the Upper Peninsula this year.

It Is estimated be as high as 20 per cent more than 1947. In most Lower Peninsula deer counties there was no evident increase in gunners over last season. But heavy traffic, crowded streets and packed restaurants and stores all indicated that the hunting army may surpass last year's record of 374,445. In the Lower Peninsula the largest concentration of hunters was reported in the Midland Baugh St. Martin Wins Battle of Yardsticks Second Division Title Earned by 12 Yards BY HAL SCIIRAM A slight edge of 12 yards in total offense gave St.

Martin a Catholic League Second Division football championship Sunday before 4,300 fans at Mc-Cabe Stadium. In a battle of the yardsticks St. Mary of Royal Oak, the West Side champion, played the Cadets to a scoreless deadlock. But both schools had agreed that, in case of a tie, yardage would settle the issue. ST.

Actually a backfield-in-mo-tion penalty late In the final period cost St. Mary the title. A Jim Wagner to Ray Reynolds pass picked up 25 yards, but the penalty nullified the gain.

For a scoreless tie, the contest, provided many interesting xno-J ments. St. Martin took charge of then first period, moving inside the 25-1 yard line on two occasions. Fre- quent penalties and a fumble ruined the scoring chances. IN THE.

SECOND quarter St! Mary found its offensive spark and drove 83 yards to the Cadet five-yard stripe. Here another backf ield in motion penalty set the Irish back to the 10 and the drive collapsed. Two Wagner passes, one to Reynolds and the other to Willie Buchanan, featured this sustained drive, the longest by either team during the afternoon. WITH DON FURTAW, 195-pound St. Martin halfback, doing most of the plunging and pass receiving, the Cadets reached the St Mary 18 and 39 in the third quarter but St Mary's choked those thrusts.

The Irish had one scoring chance in the fourth period. Wagner returned an intercepted pass tb St. Martin's 34. Wagner hit Reynolds with an aerial on the 24, but Jerry Hig-gins, St. Martin quarterback, nipped this final bid with an interception.

The championship was the first for St Martin, which has lost but one league game in two seasons under Coach Max Evans. Detroiter Wins Tampa Auto Race TAMPA, Fla.

Washington Wipes Out 14-3 Lead Nullified TD Run Breaks Club's Back BY BOB LATSHAW rret Trn Staff Writer WASHINGTON A brilliant second -half passing exhibition by the ageless Sammy Baugh gave the Washington Redskins a 46-21 decision over the Detroit Lions after they trailed at half time, 14 to 3. Baugh pitched four touchdown passes in the final 30 minutes, and his accurate tosses set up two others. THE REDSKIN found the ranee immediately after the teams re turned to tne rteJd in tn tnira quarter. He tossed a pair of passes to Hal Cnsler and Dick Todd, and the 'Skins were right back in the ball game, 14 to 10.

Before Baugh finished his work In that period the Redskins held a 19-14 edge. To complete the rout he tmsed perfect pitches to Todd, Tom Farmer and Bob Nussbaumer in the fourth period. Until Baugh started clicking on his aerials, it appeared that the Lions would win their first start in Washington In five games, They spotted the 'Skins a 3-0 edge on Dick Poillon's field goal in the first five minutes and then came roaring back to score twice in the first half. CAMP WILSON scored the first touchdown after Clyde LeForce and Fred Enke moved the ball into scoring position with three pass completions. Joe Margucci added the second in the second quarter after an 80-yard march.

The turning point came shortly after the second half opened. Jim Gillette intercepted his third pass of the afternoon and ambled 85 yards for a touchdown. But the play was called back and the Lions penalized 15 yards to their own 15 for roughing Baugh. That gave the 'Skins the spark they needed and they promptly rammed across the tally that gave them the lead. Bill Dudley was trapped In the end zone to give Washington two more points on a safety and a 19-14 lead.

Another interception by Gillette set the stage for a 50-yard drive that put the Lions ahead again. Enke passed to Dudley, who made a beautiful catch for the tally. The Lions were out in front 21 to 19, but not for long, AFTER THAT the Redskins scored every time they got the ball, and the Lions helped them along by throwing passes that re sulted in two interceptions. This was the seventh defeat for the Lions, who have won only one game. STATISTICS PET.

Title --tv Free Press hr Tony Sp'S MARTIN IN PREP GAME Royal Oak U-D Power Wins, 27-14 Titans Find St. Louis Better Than Expected BY MARSHALL DANN Free Pre Maff Wrlt ST. LOUIS The University of Detroit resorted to a favorite football formula to gain its fifth victory of the season by rolling past St.

Louis University, 27 to 14. The Titans sputtered and mis fired frequently in the first half. They tried to employ a passing attack as the basis of their of fense in the opening two periods, and the aerial game failed. Then Detroit went back to its old reliable ground game and began to click. ST.

LOUIS, which entered the game as a five-touchdown under dog, held Detroit to a 7-7 dead lock in the first half. But it was different story when Coach Chuck Baer took the wraps off big Mike Kaysaerian, Joe Wright, Jim Massey and Len Rittof in the final half. The futility of Detroit's passing attack is indicated by the statistics. The Titans tried 16 passes and completed only four. St.

Louis intercepted two of the tosses. On the ground the story was ft different one, however. Detroit battered the St. Louis line for an aggregate of 339 yards by rushing. St Louis hopped into a touchdown lead on the last play of the first period.

A 13-yard pass from Quarterback Floyd Lahay to Lee Alberts accounted for the marker. Ed Donahue converted. IN THE SECOND quarter Ed Mencotti recovered a St. Louis fumble on the Billkens' 36 yard line. With Kaysserian spearheading the attack, Detroit moved to the 12 and then Kayasserian plowed up the middle for the touchdown.

Mencotti converted. The Titans put together three long touchdown marches to break the game open in the final half. On these scoring drives they went 80. 70 and 76 yards. Wright accounted for the first on a one-yard plunge.

Massey slammed over from the two for the. second and iRttorf, after runs of 33 and 23 yards, tallied the final one on a three-yard sprint Mencotti converted after two of the markers. A pass play from Lahay to Alberts was good for 60 yards and St Louis' second touchdown. v- PICKS UP YARDAGE FOR SJ. help East Siders top St Mary of Mann Moves -z- "-w V-' 14 t'- rnii It mjsX2ei imZmWi Aoociated Prcsi Wirephoto BOB MANN SNARES PASS Aerial good for 20-yard gain Gaels Nipped SAN FRANCISCO Santa Clara's Broncos defeated the St.

PROOF OF THAT is the manner in which the Wolverines rolled. Michigan needed an aggregate of only 49 plays for its eight touchdowns. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's proteges marched a total of 382 yards in those scoring drives.

In the touchdown rampages Michigan employed 37 running plays and 12 passes. Each play was good for an average gain of 7.7 yards. Seldom does a Big Nine team hit that pace against a conference rival. Michigan's eight touchdowns were scored by eight different players as the Wolverines rolled up the most decisive Western Conference victory they've scored since 1939 when Chicago was whacked, 85 to 0. Despite Michigan's devastating attack, seven of the touchdowns came on plays from inside the five-yard line.

The lone exception was a 14-yard! flip from Sophomore Chuck Ortmann to End Harry Allis for the third touchdown. Michigan used? 46 players in the game. Included were 18 backfield performers. Of those backs only TWO (Pete Elliott and Gene Derricotte) will be lost through graduation. When the 1949 season rolls around, there will be talent and depth in the ball-carrying department NOW ONLY Ohio State stands between Michigan and its second straight perfect season.

It's been 46 seasons since Wolverine teams achieved such a lofty goal. The Buckeyes served notice they'll be tough by overwhelming Illinois, 34 to 7. SATURDAY'S RESULTS Montreal 3, New York 1. Chicago 6, Toronto 3. SUNDAY'S RESULTS DETROIT 3, Chicago 1.
