The Wolverines shrugged off challenge of Wisconsin in vt'i'u helming 2S-6 style on a Inaiy, rainy afternoon before raincoated fans.

Here is the title picture. Illinois, loads the conference with a record of five victories an( one defeat. Michigan is ccoihI with four triumphs, one loss and one tie. A decision ocr Ohio by Michigan and a setback of Illinois by Northwestern would give the Wolverines the crown. Should Illinois win from Northwestern, however, or should both Illinois and Michigan lose next Free Press photo by Wally THE WOLVERINES GIVE BOB (49) PROTECTION A ND HE HURLS A STRIKE INTO THE ARMS OF ELMER FOR FOUR YARDS MIDWEST week-end, the title will go to the Jllini.

Michigan was terrific this day BY BOB LATSIIAW Free Press Saf Writer CHAMPAIGN, 111. Illinois University's fighting Illini have only one more hurdle to clear to rack up the 1946 Western Conference championship and a possible berth in the 1947 Rose Bowl. The hurdle is Northwestern's unpredictable Wildcats, who engage Illinois next Saturday at Evanston. In the rain and mud of Memorial Stadium here the Illini disposed of the Buckeyes of Ohio State, 16 to 7, before 61,519 fans. The defeat eliminates the Buckeyes from the Big Nine title race.

Rain Friday night and Saturday turned the field into a treacherous sea of mud that made passing almost impossible and kept the running attacks of both teams to a minimum. 4 IT DIDN'T KEEP the Illini from scoring two touchdowns, one a four-inch quarterback sneak by Perry Moss and the other a 98-yard sprint by Julie Rykovich after he intercepted a Buckeye pass on his two. The other Illini points were scored on conversions and a safety in the second quarter. Much of the credit for the victory must go to the Illini forwards, who twice stopped Ohio State's offensive inside the five-3rard line during the third quarter. Led by Alex Agase, the Illini linemen on one occasion held for downs on four plays inside the five-yard line.

It appeared that the Buckeyes would make a walkaway of the game when they tallied in less than four minutes of the first period. The Illini stiffened on defense, however, and turned on a little offense of their own to lead at the intermission, 9 to 7. The only pass interception of the game was turned into an Illini touchdown. Despite the greasy condition of the ball, Rykovich's grab of George Spencer's pass was the only time either lost the ball by this method. STATISTICALLY, Ohio State outplayed Illinois, gaining 199 yards rushing to 75 for the Illinois.

Illinois tried seven passes in the first half and completed three. Although they were heralded as a passing combination, the Illini didn't try an aerial in the second half. Ohio State tried nine and completed two. After spotting the Buckeyes Irish Rout Wildcats on 20-Point Finish Notre Dame Uses 45 Gridders to Polish Off Northwestern, 27-0 SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Notre Dame, which played three-quarters as If it had left its heart in Yankee Stadium in that scoreless battle with Army a week ago, finally found its spark in 19-year-old Johnny Panelli and cracked out three touchdowns in the final period for a 27-0 decision over Northwestern.

Off Again, On Again: MSC Triumphs, 20-0 Spartans Turn on Power to Rout a Surprised Marquette Grid Team BY MARSHALL DANN Fre Press Staff Writer EAST LANSING Thought dead and practically buried, Michigan State's unpredictable football team rose up to surprise favored Marquette with a 20 to 0 triumph. Bewildered Marquette probably still believes the Spartans were ghosts from the grave, for they were the same band which played the role of a battered corpse in the 55 to 7 funeral at Ann Arbor DIT Annexes First Victory Field Goal in Final Minute Wins, 9 to 6 Center Lou Ribel booted a 14-yard field goal in the last minute of play to give Detroit Tech a 9-6 victory over Adrian College on Robinson Field Saturday. The triumph was the first in eight games for the Dynamics. DIT drew first blood when Chuck Christiansen raced around end for 25 yards in the first period. Tony Palambo's attempted conversion was wide.

ne.ore an appreciative audience that boosted the home attendance total to an all-time record 514,479. THE WOLVERINES scored the first two times they had the ball. End Bob Mann grabbed a 1 pass from Bumps Elliott for the initial tally and then wared a 30-yard flip from Halfback Bob Chappuis for the one. Th Badger had only one chance all day and they capitalized on it with a S3-vard aerial to Jack Wink in the third period, but Michigan came back with two more in the last quarter. I 'an Dworsky powered over from the two and Len Ford M-ored on an end-around maneuver from the same spot to conclude the scoring.

Jim Brieske tonverted all four times. The star of the day was the bidliant Chappuis. He racked up 1 1 yards in 29 carries and added 4 more on three passes for a total of 161 for the day. Coupled with the 607 he previously held, Bob now has gained VS yards and is only 94 away from tying the all-time Western Conference yardage mark of 862 In 1912 by Otto Graham, of Northwestern. Gaining their sixth triumph in a week ago.

Not dead were the Spartans, but deadly, with unerring passes, with brilliant running and with sharp quarterbacking. Repulsed twice in the first half. State finally hit for one touchdown in the third quarter and then added two more in the fourth. Scorers were Lynn Chandnois on an eight-yard reverse, Frank Waters on a two-foot smash and George Guerre on a weaving 59-yard run. a campaign tor tne nauonai collegiate championship, the Irish hurled a total of 45 players against the stubborn Wildcats to wear them down for fourth-quarter scoring drives of 61, 50 and 38 yards as a sell-out throng of roared approval.

Panelli, a 190-pound sophomore, collaborated with Emil (Red) Sit-ko and Bob Licingstone to provide most of the backlng-up power behind Johnny Lujack's alert quarterbacking. THAT COMBINATION, which helped Notre Dame roll up 27 first downs to Northwestern's four, gained 523 yards by rushing. A granite Irish line limited North-western's ground attack one of the best in the Big Nine compe- tition with an average 222 yards per game to a mere 52 yards. The game was only 5'4 minutes old when the Irish scored their first touchdown on a 63-yard push in eight plays, featuring the line slashing of Sitko. Sitko capped it with a one-foot plunge and little Fred Earley went in to play his lone role as placekicker.

The kick was good, and he hit twice later to run his record to 24 conversions in his last 28 tries. Frank Aschenbrenner's 45 yard runback of Lujack's punt put Northwestern in a threatening position midway in the initial period, but Pat Keefe's pass was intercepted behind the goal line by Lujack to end the thrust which reached the 21. tentions by staging a 92-yard drive from the opening kickoff. Guerre took the ball to the three. But a 15-yard holding penalty set the Spartans back.

They were able to get down to the five before losing the ball on downs. The rest of the first half was a punting duel, except for another State threat to the 21. Gene Glick featured this drive by throwing two passes to Huey and one to Ken Balge for a total of 48 yards. Again Marquette held for downs. Turn to rage 3, Column 2 ADRIAN BOUNCED back in the third quarter to tie it up after a sustained drive.

Halfback Johnny Osenko plunged over from the two-yard line to knot the score at six points. With two minutes remaining in the game DIT recovered an Adrian fumble on the visitors' 31. Christiansen passed to Ed Gallagher on the 10, but the next three plays lost four yards. Ribel then booted from the 21 to give DIT its three-point margin of victory. Allen 7 Howard 0 Ark.

In the third quarter, Notre Dame marched from its own one foot line to the Wildcats' eight, rolling up seven first downs on 23 plays. Livingstone, hpwever, lost 13 yards and eventually Earley attempted a field goal from the 18 which fizzled.

Panelli and Bill Gompers accelerated the first Notre Dame touchdown in the fourth quarter, Panelli ending a 61-yard parade by ramming over from the two. Later the Irish drove 50 yards in eight plays with the aid of Coy McGee's 14-yard dash to score on Panelli's one-yard buck.

He hit the middle for three yards and then smashed inside left tackle for 17 yards and a touchdown. Eddleman, punting with the wind, put Ohio State back in the hole as the second quarter started, and in three plays the Illini came up with a safety.

Statistics gave State an edge which paralleled the final score. The Spartans amassed a total of 416 yards, 301 by rushing, to 53 yards for Marquette, in first downs State led 18 to 7. Marquette drove into State territory just twice, to the 45 and 34.

Late in the final period the Hill-toppers recovered a blocked punt on the 27, but their marching was backwards from that point. GUERRE, THE hero of the game, starred in the ball carrying. Seven trips netted him 156 yards, with his final sprint achieving a touchdown. That yardage enabled Guerre to pile up 180 yards in 19 trips.
