It was a neat dream house. But Michigan tore it down. Pete Elliott built it.

Brother Bump wrecked it as his under-rated Michigan Wolverines pulled their biggest upset since he took over five years ago. They knocked the Illini out of the ranks of the undefeated Saturday with a come-from-behind 14-8 victory in the final period before 55,810 startled and disheartened fans. This was the fifth time in as many seasons that Michigan defeated Illinois. It was the fourth straight in the brother vs. brother duel between Bump, the elder, and Fete, the kid of the family.

It was the most destructive of the series and opened the Rose Bowl door for Michigan State, 23-0 conqueror of Purdue, and maybe for Ohio State, conquered in another upset by Penn State in 10-7 style. All that remains for Illinois now is the long-shot hope that it can defeat both Wisconsin and Michigan State the next two weekends while Michigan completes its upsetting tactics when the rejuvenated Wolverines take on Ohio in the season's finale two weeks from now. That's the only glimmer of hope that Bump holds out for brother Pete in the wake of the wrecking job pulled off here. And the way Michigan is going these Saturdays, who knows? Keyed high at the start, the Wolverines kept the hard-running Illini bottled deep It it rt- 2s. 1 SHRINE LOSES TIE 4 -Yard Edge Earns Irish Soup Crown BY JOE DOWDALL Notre Dame High captured its first Soup Bowl victory and Catholic League championship Saturday night by the slim margin of four yards.

Those yards 12 feet were the difference in rushing yardage between the Irish and the Knights from Royal Oak after the two teams fought to a scoreless tie before 17,500 fans at University of Detroit Stadium. It was a game of thrills and heartbreaks for both teams! in their own zone and minus a single first down In the open ing period. They took over on their own 44 after a punt and swept along with quarterback Bob Timberlake to grab a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter as halfback Dick Rindf uss, a Xext Saturday Iowa, at Michigan Wise, at Illinois workhorse all afternoon, slashed the final three yards on a counter-play after Mel Anthony had faked a smash up the middle. ILLINOIS, shaken but still alive, ripped back to edge ahead, 8-7, after the intermission and, with their coterie of backs ripping off yardage in big chunks, seemed to have everything under control. But Michigan changed that with seven minutes left on the clock as John Rowser, a ipho-more back out of Detroit Eastern, recovered an Illini fumble 11 yards away from pay dirt.

With eyesight sharpened by late-season victory as well as hope, Michigan State can see the Rose Bowl. The Spartans clamped on old nemesis Purdue, 23-0, Saturday to bring the western slopes and the Big Ten championship within view. It's a sight the Spartans haven't seen so clearly in almost a decade. Whether they make it is in their hands and their hands alone.

D7 THEY BEAT Illinois two weeks from now back home In East Lansing, nobody can finish ahead of them in the Big Ten. Only Ohio State could then tie them for the championship, Xext Snturdnv X. Dame at 31 SU Minn, at Pnrdue and for the Buckeyes that wouldn't be enough for a trip to California. There is the formality of a vote of conference athletic directors to pick a Rose Bow! team, but in usual procedure the school which went most recently is eliminated. Ohio last spent New Year's Day in the Rose Bowl in 1958, MSU in 1956.

With help from their brethren in Ann Arbor, the Spartans are all alone at the top of the Big Ten. They stand 4-0-1 in the conference in a 5-1-1 season. Ohio State is 3-0-1, and Illinois is 3-1-1 after being struck down by Michigan. OUTSHJER Notre Dame will come to East Lansing next Saturday and the Irish suddenly are diminished in importance, being "no-count" as the conference goes. "Purdue is our key game," MSU coach Duffy Daugherty had admitted Friday night.

"If we win, we have only one more chance to lose while Illinois and Ohio have two." After the Saturday victory he was moved to the bravery of saying "I think we're in the running for the Rose Bowl." But for half the afternoon the Boilermakers threatened to be the spoilermakers who have ruined so many MSU dreams in the past. STATE MANAGED only 3-0 half time edge on Earl Lat-timer's 28-yard field goal, and the three points shrank in size as Purdue struck into Spartan territory with the second-half kickoff. Then, at the MSU 36, there was Lattimer. The senior guard his shoes taped tightly to his feet, his toothpick thrown away, his play as dramatic as ever threw Ron DiGravio for a six-yard loss when the pass-minded Purdue quarterback was looking for eight yards on third down. From there State blew the Boilermakers off the field.

The Spartans grasped at opportunity for two touchdowns, scored another on a 53-yard drive and did it all in less than 15 minutes. RUNNING bursts by brilliant little Sherman Lewis set up Roger Lopes twice for one-yard plunges after a pass interception and a fumble recovery deep in Purdue territory.

(UPD Hurry to Market, after battling his way to the front in the stretch, had to survive a foul claim Saturday before he was declared the winner of the $317,290 Garden State Stakes and the biggest winner's purse in the history of racing $190,374. Roman Brother took the lead i shortly after he entered the Depressed Ilevore with the Shrine's final heartbreak coming some 15 minutes after the game ended as Ralph Ow en, Catholic League director and an official statistician poured over the game play by play.

The tie marked the first standoff in the 15-year history of the Soup Bowl. THE GAME and the yardage difference, 163 to 159, came in the final 86 seconds of the game as Notre Dame, trailing on yardage, picked up the 17 yards it trailed Shrine by and went ahead. Fullback Pat Fulford's slant off right tackle on the last play of the game actually won the game. The 185-pound junior gained six yards on the play as the horn sounded. A Shrine spokesman said the school is going to review the game films to decide if they will challenge the decision on the game.

SHRINE HAD the three best scoring threats in the game and had Lady Luck looked the other way, the score might have been as high as 18-0 in Shrine's favor. An offside penalty on th second play of the game nullified a Dennis Bienkowski-to-Jim Seymour pass which covered 66 yards and sent the Shrine rooters leaping with joy- Bienkowski, throwing from his own 34-yard line hit Seymour on the Notre Dame 30 and the lanky junior end went in untouched. The touchdown didn't count and Shrine's attack stalled at the Notre Dame eight. Shrine scored again, or so the 17,500 standing fans thought, when Bob Peltier cracked over left guard from the one-yard line after Shrine marched 54 yards. But the ball squirted out of Peltier's hands at the goal line I and Dave Pochmara.

Notre Dame's middle linebacker, recovered the loose ball in the end zone for a touchback. SHRINE'S third futile attempt for a touchdown came in the final quarter when Bien-kowski's arm was bumped as he got off a pass intended for Seymour in the end zone. The ball was just short of Seymour's outstretched hands and Bob Lantzy intercepted it and ran it out to the Irish 47-yard line to kill Shrine's last threat. Notre Dame will meet the winner of the Cooley-Denby playoff for the City League championship in the Goodfel-low Game Nov. 22 for the citv title.

stretch, but Hurry To Market ranged up alongside him for the drive down the straightaway. In that desperate surge for one big pot, Hurry To Market, purchased for $15,500, forged into the lead and streaked across the finish line a length in front. BUT JOCKEY Johnny Rotz on Roman Brother complained that Hurry To Market moved out from the rail and interfered with his After viewing motion picture films of the race and deliberating for about 10 minutes, the stewards decided against Rotz, and Hurry To Market was permitted to retain his hard-earned victory. Ishkoodah was third in the field of 14 Juveniles S'J lengths behind Roman Brother. Rotz claimed that his horse was hit across the nose by the whip of Bill Cook, who rode Hurry To Market.

The stewards said the films did not confirm it but that if the horse was hit by Cook's whip, it was Rotz's fault, the stewards said Roman Brother was drifting in rather than Hurry To Market drifting out. IT WAS THE first stakes victory for Hurry To Market, who went to the post with earnings of $13,155. He was timed in 1:45 15 over a muddy track and paid $20.40, $7.20 and $4.40 across the board to his backers in the crowd of 36,652. Roman Brother, who picked up $63,458 for finishing second paid $4.40 and $3.40 as the favorite, while Ishkoodah returned $4.60 and earned $31,729. Sophia's Boy was fourth and earned $15,864.
