Gophers Take
To Airlanes For
Tough 7-0 Win
BY BILL BONI
ANN ARBOR. Oct. 25 —
(AP)— Minnesota’s Golden
Gophers stole the Mi.hifran
punt and pass re ipe today
and left the Wolverines
without even a prayer.
The mighty men from Minnea-
polis, in handing Michigan its
first defeat of the season and its
eighth straight in the series, drove
the opening wedge for their
touchdown with a 70-yard punt,
set it up with a 43 yard pass
play, and from there on smoth-
ered the out-manned Wolverines
and even got a couple of handy ,
breaks to score a 7-0 triumph. 1
This was not by any means an j
inspired Minnesota team, but it
had the defensive strength and i
the defensive depth to stall all !
but one Michigan threat and that
petered out of its own accord
when the homo team fumbled and !
lost possession on the second play
after getting a first down on the
Gopher five-yard line.
The Gophers, in running their
winning streak to 13 straight be-
fore a record-shattering crowd
of 85,753 that enjoyed perfect i
weather, crashed through for the
decisive score well into the sec-
ond period.
Minnesota had taken the ball on
its 15 after a Michigan out-of-
bounds punt and with the draw-
back of a penalty, got up only
to its 19. At that point Bruce
Smith, the Gophers' heavy duty
back dropped back to kick.
Sophomore Tom Kuzma. Mich-
igan's safety- man. was playing in
too close and the ball traveled
over his head and, once it hit the j
ground, took to many bounces
to make it safe for Kuzma to j
play it.
Perforce he had to let the ball j
roll and roll it did, until it stopped I
dead on the Michigan 12, 69
yards down the field. On the first
play Kuzma tried to run the ball, ;
fumbled and recovered for a loss i
of sev-en yards.
That meant he had to kick and
he got off a creditable boot up
to his own 48, where Smith was
smeared in his tracks. Minneso-
ta's first play was a pass, but
Mervin Pregulman, Michigan's
very good guard, broke up the at-
tempt.
Minnesota went into its right
lormation, the ball went to
Smith, and he started wide to his
right. He was almost to the side
line when he braked to a stop
and let fly with a perfect spiral.
It arched high and, down the
field, Herman Frickev, Minneso-
ta halfback, had got a few feet
ahead of Kuzma, already worn
from a considerable battering.
The ball lodged in Frickey’s
arms and, before Kuzma could
pull him down by one arm. he
had sped and fought 10 more
yards to the Wolverine five and
first down. Smith took the first
shot at the line and picked up a
yard, but was carried out favor-
ing an injured knee.
That shifted Fricke.v, a sopho-
more from Billings, Mont . into
the tailback slot, and he cannon-
balled over on his second try,
with a bit of hipper-dipper in
the bac-kfield before he sliced
through an opening at guard.
Quarterback Bill Garnas of Min-
ncapolis, another sophomore, then
added the extra point with a per-
fect placement.

AUSTIN. Tex., Oct. 25 — (AP)— Texas’ mighty
scoring machine rolled on today over a Rice Institute learn
Ilitif never had a chance, crushing the Owls 40-0 with a
devastating offense that battered them from goal line to
goal like chaff in the wind.
Thus the Longhorns kept their
season record unsullied.
Smarting from a 13-0 upset at
the hands of the Owls last year
the Texas team chalked up its
second Southwest conference vic-
tory and fifth consecutive 1941
win, over a Rice eleven whose ef-
forts largely crashed against n
potent Steer defense.
The closest the Owls came to
scoring was a drive from mid-
field to the Texas 19 against Steer
reserves.
Pete Layden. Jack Crain, R L.
Harkins, Wallace Scott and Spec
Sanders, the latter tallying twice. I
participated in the Texas touch- |
down parade. Boh Brumley, Rice's i
key back, Dick Dwelle and J. C. j
Dickson constituted the Owl's I
main offensive threat.
A vicious Steer line stalled the |
vaunted Rice ground attack at I
crucial points and permitted only j
109 yards. The Steers totaled 182 !
yards on the ground and 133 via !
a smooth-working aerial game.
Rice got but 20 yards on passes,
trying 12 and completing three.
The Steers hurled 24 and made 16
count, cither setting up or going
for touchdowns.
In its usual style, Texas scored !
on the first drive after the kick- j
off. Pete Layden and Jack Crain, i
the team's great ground gainers,
alternating for thrusts which got
33 yards to the Rice 35. From
there, Layden wheeled off tackle,
ers accounting for two. Crain loaf
cd back to pick up a quickkick
by Dickson, the Owls' fine punt-
er. then hook off several tacklers
and, with excellent blocking, ran
an yards for the second Steer
score. He missed the placckick
'or point.
R L. Harkins, second-string
fullback, returned a punt 17 yards
to the Texas 41) after which Fritz
Lobprics. Sanders and Joe Sch-
| wanting, on ground and aerial
j i lavs carried to the Rice one
I irkins plunged over and Sanders
| I "ted the point.
A moment later, Sanders inter-
cepted a Rice pass and raced back
34 to the Owl 22 Harkins hurled
to Sanders on the four, bucked for
two and passed to Sanders for the
marker. Sanders again converted.
After a scoreless third period in
which Texas was represented by
third stringers, the second team
went back in and Mike Sweeney
snagged another Owl aerial. Mix-
ed ground and overhead play re-
sulted in a score,, this time Hark-
ins to Sanders who, although
tackled, got over from the eight-
yard line. Sanders booted the
point.
The Longhorns’ final tally came
when Sanders faked a kick and
ran 41 to the Rice 39. Harkins
passed to Schwarting for 27 and
then to Scott for the touchdown.
Sanders' placekick try for point
failed.

Trailing by two touchdowns at

came roaring hack to score early
in the third period on an inter-

a brilliant aerial attack that car-
ried them 77 yards to the tying
touchdown on the second play of
the fourth quarter.
But that apparently used up the
Horned Frogs, and when the
aroused Fordhamites put on the
pressure again they had nothing
with which to answer. Led by
their great fullback, Steve Fili-
powitez, the Rams passed and bat-
tered their way to the winning
scores to record their fourth
straight victory and keep their

BY WILLIAM T. RIVES
COLLEGE STATION, Tex., Oct. 25 —(AP)— The
Texas Aggies, who bore in m xlest silence the doubt they
could recover from the loss of John Kimbrough and com-
pany, welded their claim of greatness today with a mur-

EL'PASt >, Tex . < let. 25—f/P)—
Displaying speed, power, decep-

din-Simmons Cowboys swamped
the Texas Miners here today, 44
to 14.
The victory gave the Cowboys
a good start in the Border con-
ference race, in which they are
competing for the first year.
One-seventh of the earth’s land

The Aggies’ fifth straight vic-
j lory was won in a dazzling attack
that bristled with speed and ver-
satility. Three touchdowns were
rolled up through a magnificent
overhead game, three more on the
ground and the other through a
pass interception.
In the first 12 minutes, the
Bears reeled under three touch-
down spurts; the Aggies pounded
over two more in the second, two
in the third, and then coasted
through the last iiariod.
Not even the presence of Jack
Wilson, the Bears’ great back w>ho
is the conference's finest all-
around man behind the line — or

cle of difference.
Big Jack's mates wouldn't, or
couldn't, block for him today and
even his punting, the conference's
best, faltered under the Aggies'
terrific pressure.
A. and M. carried its perfection
even to the goal-kicking depart-
ment. Jake Webster, Junior back
from Sweetwater, punched over
six points after touchdown to run
his total to 22, which is as many
as he has tried during the infant
season.
