Michigan scored last when Bruce Hilkene smashed through to block an Illinois punt in the final period for a safety and two points. But the Illini scored twice in between with the ironic twist coming on the last and winning touchdown. With the score deadlocked at 7 to 7 at the intermission, Michigan received the second-half kick-off and rolled up to its 47-yard line. Bob Chappuis faded back to pass and did. Up charged Sam Zatkoff, a twenty-seven-year-pld Illinois end.

He grabbed the bail and went 47 yards to score. His run was an easy one, but what made it ironic was the fact that Zatkoff all 185 pounds of him lives in Ham- tramck, Mich. OVER IN THE Illinois rooting section, 18 other Zatkoffs stood up and cheered. They were Sam's nine brothers and their wives, who watched the ex-service man blast the hopes of the Wolverines. Mich igan was trying for its twenty third victory over an Illinois team.

It wound up with its tenth loss instead. The first Illinois touchdown came on a beautiful run by Halfback Paul Patterson to climax a 76-yard drive Immediately after Michigan had scored In the second period. Patterson scampered 17 yards to pay dirt and when Herb Maechtle's kick was good the score was knotted at 7 all. Jim Brieske converted after Michigan's only touchdown. The statistics were all Michi gan.

In first downs it was 18 to 9. In yards rushing It was 190 to 112. In passing it was 142 to 39. Buddy Young, the famed little Illini speedster, couldn't do a thing. He gained only 26 yards in 11 tries.

27, 1946 4 LS OUT ON THlfsiX 0t The upset shot the Owls into a Conference race. It was a thriller, a game that saw Texas' Bobby Layne at his best, but even the great fullback couldn't offset the charging Owls, who tore the Longhorn defense to tatters. A COUPLE of cripples little George Walmsley, who had played only five minutes in three weeks, and Windell Williams, who couldn't start the game because of an injured leg figured greatly in the upset. It was the third time in three years that Rice has beaten Texas. Williams took two touchdown passes, both from Virgil Eiken-berg, Rice quarterback.

Walms-leg combined with Carl Russ and Don Anderson in whipping through the Texas line for 232 yards. Statistics gave Rice the edge. The Owls gained 293 yards rushing and passing to 277 for the Longhorns. Layne was the Individual star. Not only did he fling 22 passes and connect with 12 for 144 yards, but he piled up 51 yards on the ground.

alto. Mlrhi.Hn Stat trnr hr; Toiifhflrtirn B.l:r. Point after touchdown Reader (placement). BV MARSHALL DANN Free Pre Staff Writer EAST LANSING Michigan State, winner over Penn State last week with a second-half rally, found the shoe on the other foot against Cincinnati. Thi3 time it was the Bearcats who came back to surprise the Spartans, 18 to 7.

A season record crowd of 22,524 saw Cincinnati roll to its fourth straight victory and second major upset. Previously the Bearcats had tripped Indiana. It was Michigan State's third defeat on its home field. THE GAME was marked by exchanges of fumbles and intercepted passes. After State had thrown away four chances in the third period while leading, 7 to 6, Cincinnati settled down.

The winning touchdowns came in the last six minute. The first came on a one-yard plunge by Bill Williams after a 43-yard march. It marked the first time Cincinnati had advanced beyond State's 38. The other score was set up by Steve Sieradzki's second fumble of the half on the Spartan 31. After State had been penalized to the 16 for unnecessary roughness, four running- plays were capped by Al Sabato'3 two-yard smash into the end zone.

THE SPARTANS, who scored first in the second period, earned their marker. Starting from Cincinnati's 39 after a punt, they moved to the 10 in four plays. Russ Reader, whose 18-yard sprint featured the drive, then tossed a 10-yard aerial to End Ken Balge cm the goal line. Reader successfully converted the point which loomed large until Cincinnati's final rush. His pass was the first State had tried.

Reader tried his second pass few minutes later, and it also went for a touchdown a Cincinnati touchdown. It was intended for Horace Smith but Roger intercepted on his 40 and ran 60 yards to tally. Two Spartan guards, Ed Bag-don and Mark Blackraan, rushed in and blocked Capt. Al Nickel's placekick for the tying point. State made only one other seri nus id.

Late in the first quarter Lynn Chandnois recovered Mike Graham's fumble on the Bearcat 36. Sieradzki's plunging carried the Spartans to the 10, hut they finally lost the ball on downs on the seven. THE CONTEST had many as pects of a basketbaJl game as the hall changed hands 31 times through fumbles and interceptions. Stat? recovered four fumbles, Cincinnati three, and each made two pass interceptions. The ineffectiveness of the Spar tans' second-half play is illus trated in statistics.

In the first half they made 112 yards and six first downs by rushing. In the second half they didn't make a single yard rushing. The only first down came on the one complete second-half pass. Held to one first down and 33 yards in the first half, Cincinnati rushed for 134 yards and 10 first downs in the last half. Sieradzki was State's leading ground-gamer with 45 yards on 19 tires.

Reader and Mike Guerre each made 35 yards. For Cincin nati, Sabato picked up 63 yards and Stephans 44, each on 15 attempts.

favored position in the Southwest Boston Bruins Cop First Game from Rangers BOSTON (U.P.) The Boston Bruins, after three consecutive ties, swept to their first triumph of the National Hockey League season by defeating the New York Rangers, 3 to 1, before a capacity crowd of 13,900 fans at Boston Garden. Tempers flared constantly in the taut, hard-fought match. Toronto Takes Lead by Nosing Out Hoicks TORONTO IP) The Toronto Maple Leafs moved into undisputed leadership of the National Hockey League when they handed the Chicago Black Hawks their first defeat of the season, 2 to 1. AS WOLVERINES SET 'Hold on to ANN ARBOR When Michigan's Coach Fritz Crisler walked into the locker room at half time with the game tied at 7 to 7, he strode up to the blackboard and wrote out five words with a piece of chalk. "Hold on to the ball," the handwriting said.

Michigan outfumbled any previous Wolverine team in history by dropping the ball 12 times. Only one fumble was recovered by the Illini, however. A quick examination of Bob Wiese, Michigan fullback who went out of the ball game in the second half, showed a severly injured cartilage in his side. Michigan coaches are afraid he won't be able to play next week against Minnesota. Trainer Ray Roberts says that Michigan suffered no other major injuries.

Coach Ray Eliot reported no serious injuries to his team. of at a Wings back on their heels with treal Canadieng pounded out a 7 Although three regulars Elmer Lach, Murphy Chamberlain and Buddy O'Connor were on the sidelines, Montreal didn't need them as it turned out. PLAY OPENED at a fast clip. On the first break Ken Mosdell and Leo Lamoureux carried the puck into the corner and Bobby Filuon sank the pass-out behind Johnny Mowers at 2:14. Ken Reardon drew a penalty for boarding, but the short-handed Canadians went two ahead.

Bobby Fillion grabbed a loose puck, outguessed Defense-man Hugh Millar and flipped a pass to George Allen, who scored cleanly at 9:08. Maurice Richard made it 3-0 at 16:51 when he roared in with Billy Reay and beat Mowers on an el bow high shot. With 10 seconds to go in the first period, Fillion swooped in front of the Detroit goal to take Reay's pass and fire it into the nets. THE WINGS couldn't get or ganized in the second period, and the Canadiens continued to pep per Mowers from all angles without scoring. The final period was scarcely under way when the Canadiens counted twice.

Jackson cleared from the corner into Richard's stick, and the Rocket scored after 17 seconds. Less than a minute later Rich ards shoved a shot past Mowers after three tries. At the seven-minute mark George Allen increased Montreal's lead to 7-0. Ted Lindsay and Billy Taylor teamed for a pair of goals' in the closing minutes to prevent a shut out.

RECORD FOR FUMBLES the Grisler Pleads AFTER TID3 GAME Crisler commented that despite the obvious Wolverine superiority on the ground and in the air, he had no complaints. "They played one the roughest, hard-fought games in a tough season. They held us when the chips were down. They deserved to win." Coach Eliot and his team were a loss to explain how they won. "It was just that we got the breaks, I guess," Eliot said.

"That and the fact that my boys played a very hard ball game." It was plain to see that the elation in the Illinois locker room was the joy of receiving a good thing that came pretty much as surprise. IT WAS A GAY week-end in Ann Arbor with an estimated alumni from throughout the Nation gathered within the environs of the Michigan campus for the annual homecoming.
