Warner, Jr. Vil-af tnV tV EAST LANSING, Nov. 25 Mirhiean State maintained its 80,227 See Harmon Lead Attack; Trosko Dashes 32 Yards for Winning Score on Fake By Tod Rockwell ANN ARBOR, Nov. 25 Demonstrating the brand of football expected of it throughout the season, the Michigan team reached the peak of its 1939 grid form before 80,227 fans in the Stadium here today, cut down a 14-point lead and defeated the big Buckeyes of Ohio, 21 to 14, in the last 60 seconds of play.

The game was played in cloudy and cold weather. Despite the defeat, Ohio State won the undisputed Big Ten championship when Northwestern tied Iowa, 7 to 7. Fred Trosko, senior alternate halfback, won the football finale for Michigan in storybook fashion, after Tom Harmon and his mates had rallied brilliantly to tie the score in the third period. It was Michigan's famed old place kick that won today. Trosko toted the ball for 32 amazing yards through an Ohio l- 1 1 nr i felt pTftMHMfe five-year football hex over Temple University today by scoring in every period to hand the Owls an 18-7 setback.

It was the fifth time the teams had met and the best Temple can show for the series is a 7-7 tie. The Spartans finished their season with four victories, four losses and a tie, the worst M.S.C. show- ins since 1928, but not too bad considering the difficult schedule and the necessity of developing sophomore talent. Mike Schelb, a shifty little 162-pound speed merchant from Allegan, was the sparkplug of the Spartans' offense today. Schelb gave the crowd of 8,500 fans who braved the cold winds In Macklln Field a real show as he consistently reeled off long gains through the Temple line and around the ends.

Schelb Gains 145 Yards Although he failed to score, Schelb constantly was harassing the Owls with his jaunts of 21, 41, 36 and 47 yards that kept the ball in Temple territory.

Trosko was kneeling in position to hold the ball. But Tom's foot never touched the football.

He merely kicked past the ball, at which instant Trosko sprang to his feet and attacked the Buckeye right end. It was vacant, for all Ohio players were caught off guard on the play.

The Spartans drove off the tackles and through center for gain after gain as the ponderous Temple line yielded ground with ease.

M.S.C. totaled 397 yards by rushing and punched out 17 first downs. Not 1 a yard was gained by passes, State attempting only four and failing to connect. Kirk Two Field Goals 1 kit EVANSTON, 111., Nov. 25 (V.P.) Heroio running by Ray Murphy, Junior fullback from Great Neck, N.

brought Iowa's Cinderella men a 7-7 tie with Northwestern today at the end of a football campaign unparalleled in Big Ten history. A crowd of 40,000 saw the game. Employing virtually the same squad that won only one conference game last fall and playing the last 18 minutes without their peerless forward passer, Nile Klnnlck the Hawkeyes came back In the fourth period as they had all year long to earn a tie which landed them in second place in the final Big Ten standings. Northwestern'a touchdown in the closing minutes of the first half forced the Hawkeyes to abandon their conservative football in the third period and Kinnick's passing was a constant threat until he was removed, because of a painful shoulder Injury, just before Jack McGurn fumbled on his owtj 22-yard line and Tackle Mike Enich recovered for Iowa. With Kinnick out, it was up to Murphy.

He plunged five yards, then five more. After one more play the period ended with the ball on Northwestern'a 10 yard line.

Ohio l'lles V( Big Lead Ohio struck out with swift fury against a Wolverine team playing badly in the opening quarter.

Before Fritz Crisler's men had a chance to get warmed up the Buckeyes had 14 points. Then the Wolverines braced. They hit back at the fighting Buckeyes with a sharp and sure attack in the second period to jiore a touchdown and trail at the half, 7 to 14. Harmon, who added more distinction to his football career today, chalked up a touchdown in the third period and coolly kicked the goal to tie th score. But Michigan didn't appear to be a sure winner until the last 10 seconds of play, when Bob West-fall intercepted one of Don Scott's passes in the end zone.

This was because there was scoring dynamite in every Ohio back and end. Michigan won a triumph over an Ohio eleven that had more power than any other ever brought into the Stadium by Ohio's Francis Schmidt. Harmon Hits His Peak Michigan won because Tom Harmon played the best football of his Wolverine career. Despite the brilliance of such Buckeyes as Scott, Jim Strausbaugh, Frank Zadworney and John Hallabrin, Harmon was the best back on the field. He paced the Wolverines in a comeback unmatched in Michigan's more recent football history.

Perhaps the wild cheer that followed Trosko's remarkable touchdown was more sustained because Fred started out today rather badly for the Wolverines. After and exchange of punts in the first period, Strausbaugh intercepted one of Trosko's passes and ran 29 yards to the Michigan 26. Hallabrin, Strausbaugh and Zadworney smashed their way to the Michigan 18, and Charlie Maag, Ohio right tackle, was wide with a place kick on fourth down. So the Wolverines started all over again on their own 20. But there was another break.

Marino Kwovers Fumble Trosko fumbled on a running play and Vic Marino, Buckeye right guard, recovered the ball on the Michigan 20. Ohio then went into Its best touchdown stride. Zadworney, Scott and Strausbaugh then drove over the Michigan tackles and over the ends to the Wolverine eight. Michigan stiffened and the Trojan Power Crushes Irish by 20-12 Score By Henry McLemore SOUTH BEND, Nov. 25 (U.P.) In a three-ring circus of a football game, that kept a crowd of 50.000 pop-eyed and panicky for the full 60 minutes, the Trojans of Southern California defeated Notre Dame, 20 to 12, here today.

Almost everything that has ever been seen on a football field was shown as the big men of the West kept their record clear of defeat and handed the Irish their second the Owls and Bob Sherman kick-ing another three-pointer. M.S.C. went into the lead In the first six minutes of the game on a 60-yard march. The Spartans went over in an even dozen plays as they made four successive first downs. Schelb's 12-yard end run put the ball on the Owl nine, and then he hit right tackle for five more.

On the next play Jack Amon, Spartan fullback, carrying the ball for the eighth time in 12 tries, drove through a big hole at Temple's right tackle to score standing up. Bruckner's kick for the extra point was wide. State Pass Intercepted Another State march was halted hnlf way through the second period when Al Juralewicz, Temple half-hack, intercepted Schelb's pass on the goal line and ran out to the Owl 36 before he was downed. That drive had been launched from State's 19, where Andy Tomasic'B fiB-yard quick-kick had set back the Spartans. With Schelb contributing a 21-yard jaunt and Roman Kaman hitting center for consistent gains, the Spartans moved to the Temple 10 in 14 r'svs.

There the attack stalled and Juralewicz's interception ended it. A few plays later State was hark in scoring territory, Schelb breaking loose around his right end and sprinting 47 yards to the Temple 20 before Juralewicz brought him down. Bill Kennedy hit center for seven yards but a pass was incomplete, and with less than a minute to play Bruckner kicked a field goal from an angle on the Owl 20 with Sherman holding the ball. That sent M.S.C into 8-0 half-time lead. My Davis Goes Over The third period was less than two minutes old before the Spartans put across their second touchdown.

Temple received the Jiickoff, but after two plays failed, Tomasic punted to Wyman Davis, 'ho returned 13 yards to the State 40. From there M.S.C. cored in two plays through the disorganized Temple forces. Amon cut back through left tackle on the first play for 41 yards to the Temple 19. Wy Davis then hit through right tackle and shook off several tacklers as he ran to touchdown.
