Zuppke's Fighting Illini blacked out all of Michigan's championship football hopes here this afternoon, turning in the most astonishing grid upset of th sea son by trouncing the hitherto unbeaten Wolverines, 16 to 7 A crowd of 31,025 watched Michigan go down to a strange defeat.

It marked Michigan's first setback in five games and was Illinois initial victory. The Illini had only a scoreless tie with Bradley Tech and three losses to show oa their record before today. "Zupp's" football squad, keyed to a fighting pitch that a team only reaches once a season, completely bottled up Michigan's mighty Tom Harmon, with but one exception, throughout the contest. Illinois' "blackout" defense was exactly that Illinois Defense Baffling The Illini, in unorthodox defensive football formations, blasted Into the Michigan blocking units like ghosts out of a mist. Michigan failed to solve the Illinois defense and, In the latter stages of the game, Zuppke's team completely routed the Wolverines as Tom Harmon lost his poise.

Never had Michigan's Harmon been subjected to such a pummeling. Five Michigan fumbles, all of which were recovered by Illinois, kept the Wolverines in a tough spot on the field. Illinois converted three of the recovered fumbles Into scores. Capt Mel Brewer, Illinois guard, Illinois out In front in the first period when he kicked a field goal from the U. of M.

22-yard line. Michigan answered with an 80-yard touchdown march, cli-mlxed by a 49-yard pass from Dave Strong to Harmon. Strong made the extra point good by picking up Harmon's blocked placement boot and running it over. Harmon's Fumble Costly But with a minute left before the end of the half, mighty Tom Harmon himself fumbled on his 47 and Illinois recovered. followed the first of two Illino touchdowns on plays dug out of Michigan's oldest football play book.

This one was the shoestring, or "sleeper," play. George Rettwger was the "sleeper." He was out on tho Illinois sideline unknown to all Michigan men. The ball was snapped and he streaked down the field to take a pass on the fly from Sophomore Jim Smith and score, to the utter humiliation of Michigan. The try for point failed. It was the same play that aided in humiliating Michigan here 15 years ago, when Red Grange! tossed a similar shoestring pass.

Neither team had an advantage In the third stanza until Joe Rogers fumbled on an end-around play late in the quarter.

Michigan State scored Its first major victory this season with a 14 to 3 triumph over Syracuse as Wyman Davis, sophomore halfback, figured in two touchdown passes in less than a minute and a half of the third period. Eddie Pearce, veteran right half back, tossed a pass to Davis for the first M.S.C. touchdown. Then Davis went on the throwing end and connected with Bruce Blackburn, Spartan end, for the second score less than two minutes later. Les Bruckner converted both extra points from placement.

Seventeen thousand saw Syra cuse go in front In the first quarter on a 23-yard field goal by Charles (Red) McPhail, sophomore end, only to have Davis riddle the Orange defense in the second half. rearce, Wy Davis Spark Drive The first half saw Syracuse move to State's 25 and then to the 14 on successive threats, but yield the ball on downs in the first Instance and be stopped by Wil- ford Davis' interception of Dick Banger's pass on the three-yard line in the second surge. The game's complexion changed suddenly in the third quarter. Starting from the Orange 48, State moved to Syracuse's 12, one pass, Pearce to Wymaa Davis, eating up 26 yards. Another forward, this one from Wyman Davis to Pearce, carried to the one.

Bob Sherman, sophomore quarterback, attempted both placements, the first from the 29 and the second from the 20. The initial attempt was short and the second was wide. State has held to 86 yards rush-ing but completed six passes out of 11 for 119 yards and both touchdowns.

Thompson. By Bill Boni NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (A. Working on its customary narrow margin of profit, the well-manned Notre Dame football team ran its 1939 winning streak to six straight today by making the most of two breaks to whip -game but outclassed Army, 14 to 0. A crowd that filled the seat Yankee Stadium to capacity saw the all-conquering Irish go 30 yards for a touchdown In three plays after recovering an Army fumble in the second quarter, and then, behind expert blocking, send Sub Halfback Steve Bagarus scooting 43 yards down the sidelines w-ith a fourth-quarter intercepted pass.

Two Army Threats Halted In each case Harry Stevenson booted the extra point from placement, as Notre Dame has done with only one exception after each of its scores this year. Between the two tallies, Elmer Layden's boys threw up a defense that once halted the soldiers on the Irish 21 and again took the ball on downs when Army needed only half a yard for first down on the Notre Dame five. Notre Dame's first touchdown was remarkable chiefly for the fact that it included the first Irish pass completion In three games. Given the ball on the Cadet 31 when John Finneran, second-teari center, dropped on an Army fum ble, the Irish hit the line to a first down on the 20. But from there they were pushed back to the 30 by two successive penalties.

day in overwhelming Louisiana State's Tigers, 20 to 0, before 42.000 shivering spectators. Exhibiting speed and power as well as an extremely alert ma. chine, Tennessee entered its nine teenth straight victory in the rec ord books In a triumph that further enhanced the Volunteers' already fancied choice for the Rose Bowl Invitation. It was Tennessee's sixth con. secutlve 1939 triumph and this Southeastern Conference victory sent the Volunteers Into the league lead in skirmishing for a second straight sectional championship.

Wide awake football was the answer to the decisively gained verdict, as Tennessee's defense met what was heralded as a threatened aerial offensive, featuring the Tigers' ace end. Ken Kavanaugh. As it turned out, Tennessee cap italized no end on Louisiana State passes and threw up a bulwark that kept the Tigers outside its 40-yard stripe.

One of Franck's kicks from the Minnesota Two traveled 63 yards from the line of scrimmage.

The other, from the Minnesota one-foot line, rolled away from Safety Man de-Correvont for a 75-yard punt In the final fourth quarter drive.

This play, previously a nemesis for the 1939 model Golden Gophers, shot Bill around Minnesota's left end. Not a hand was laid on him as he swung toward the open spaces.

4- (A. Two old football accounts were squared today when that so-big point-after-touchdown gave Duke's Blue Devus a v-o victory over Georgia Tech. Only last week that point served Tech mightily In a 7-6 victory over Auburn. A few weeks ago It shoved Duke out of the unbeaten ranks with a 13-14 heartbreaker when Pittsburgh got the nod. Today, before a full house of 30,00 fans, big Bill Bailey swung his foot after a first quarter Duke touchdown and the leather sailed true.

In the second period Tech's Roy Goree failed In an attempt to knot the count. Duke struck swiftly when the entire center of the big Blue line smothered Johnny Bosch's attempted quick kick on the third play of the game and Mike Kar-mazin pounced on the ball on the Tech 36. Jolting George McAfee slashed around left end for 17. He and Roger Robinson hammered it through to the nine on four fierce charges. Bauey maae tne last four yards.

Bailey converted on his first placement try of the year. A few minutes later George McAfee fumbled Tech's guard, Louis Perkerson. grabbed it on the Duke 18. Bobby Beers fired a pass to Roy Goree for 12 yards. Joe Barlett then grabbed a Beers i pass in the ena zone ana ii was battle with the University of Detroit Saturday afternoon in the Titan Stadium, then staved off a determined last-period challenge to win, 13 to 6, for their fifth consecutive triumph over the Dorais rnen.

Not since 1935 have the Titans been able to conquer the Easterners, though year after year they have outplayed them. In all that time they have pushed the Wildcats all over the field, but couldn't keep them caged long enough to claim a victory. It was the same old story Saturday, and when he slowly trudged off the field In the gathering dusk Saturday, Head Coach Gus Dorais wondered Just what his team had to do to conquer a jinx that rises up every time Villanova Is on the opposite side of the scrimmage line. The playing furiously, had taken the play away from the Easterners In the first two periods. Tim Slovisky ran the opening kick-off back five yards and Al Ghes-qulere followed with a dash of 28 yards.

These two plays set the Cats back on their heels and they looked like anything but a team that was on the verge of a dramatic triumph. They hadn't been able to make a first down and their attack was futile. Only their staunch pass defense saved them from humiliation. With only six minutes to play in the first half, the Wildcats took possession of the ball on their own 40-yard line, and it didn't seem that they were going any place when Nick Basca, who had been a thorn in the side of the Titans a year ago, was stopped at center after gaining a yard. On the next formation, however, he dropped back and hurled a long pass to John Howlett, a rangy halfback, who took the ball on the 32-yard line and raced the remaining distance to the goal line.

Basca quickly added the extra point.
