SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 22-
-m the process of wiping the
frost off the G inzaga field with
the Gonzaga football team, Wash
ington State college took the
wraps off a sophomore halfback
Saturday and piled up a nine-
touchdown, 59 to 0 victory.
The lad was Eddie ,PiIlings
of Ellensburg. an elusive Eddie
who broke away for touch
down gallops of 26, 24 and 70
yards, the last on a pass in
terception. On his second can
ter he had little blocking help
and ran like a frightened rib
bit through the entire Zag defense.
The whole WSC team was par
tial to long runs, only three
touchdowns coming on dashes

ace, turned in a 70-yarder on a
pass interception in the first
quarter.
State's Cougars, the Rose Bowl
blood pulsing hot in their veins,
got going immediately at their
point-a-minute pace. With less
than five minutes gone Fullback
Bob Kennedy reeled off 23 yards
of touchdown spring on a fake
reverse.
Before the chilled crowd of
7000 had settled back comfort
ably in the stands the Cougars
were driving again, Sewell
flipping a tally-toss to Billy
Holmes, right half, from the
Gonxaga five.
They held that pace" for the
route, scoring twice in each quarter.
Gonzaga was rocked on its
heels until midway of the fourth
period, when Halfback Johnny
(Sugar) Scherger began pitching.
His long tosses to Left End Nick
Loncaric brought the Zags' a
cluster of first downs and once
carried them to the State 10
yard line,' where they lost the ball
on downs.
The victory sweetened the
WSC hopes for the Rose Bowl
bid, emphasizing the team's
power. More important, how
ever, was the Oregon victory
ever Washington. State has
beaten the remaining two chief
contenders for the Bowl Invi
tation, Stanford and Oregon

NEW YORK, Nov. 22-(P-Minnesota's powerful Gophers
completed their second successive unbeaten, untied football sea
son Saturday and firmly established themselves as the nation's
No. 1 team for the second time in as many years.
Overwhelming choice for the No. 1 spot in the last Associated
Press poll, the Gophers, led by Bruce Smith, buried Wisconsin
under a 41-6 count for their 17th
successive victory, clinched the
Big Ten title for the sixth time
in eight years, and left no room
for doubt that they would be
ranked on top when the football
rolls are closed for the season.
Notre Dame and Duke, two
ethers of the slender band of
major teams that have escaped
defeat, closed their regular
seasons with victories. But
there was sharp contrast in
their methods. Duke, with Win
ston Siegfried scoring four
touchdowns, burled North Car
olina SUte 55-6, but Notre
Dame was hard pressed to turn
back four-times-beaten South
ern California, 20-18.
Of the other major unbeaten
teams, Duquesne closed its season
last week while Texas A & M,
which clinched the Southwest
title when its nearest rival, Texas
Christian, played a scoreless tie
with Rice, will face Texas on
Thursday.
Two other conference races
were decided. Missouri, routing
Kansas as expected, 45-6, took
over the Big Six throne vacated
by Nebraska. Utah, which was
idle, walked into the Big Seven
crown when Brigham Young was
upset by Colorado State, 22-7.
In the east, Fordham's once-
beaten Rams, hopeful of a
Bowl engagement, spotted St.v
Mary's Gaels an early touch
down and then used the- air
ways to chalk up a 35-7 deci
sion. Harvard, extended to the
limit by a gallant Yale eleven.
pounded out a 14-0 triumph
to take the Ivy league title.
Penn, concentrating its scoring
in the first half, buried a hap
less, rumbling Cornell outfit,
16-0, as Navy, paced by BUI
Busik, ran all over Princeton,
2S-0. Indian Bill Geyer was the
star as Colgate toppled Colum
bia, W-2L V
A fourth period pass from
Henry Mazur to Ralph Hill was
all that carried Army to a 7-6
verdict over West Virginia, but
Temple rallied behind a brilliant
performance by Andy Tomasic
and crushed Holy Cross, 31-13
Villanova proved no match for
Auburn and the southerners won
13-0. Pitt scored first, but Penn
State turned on the heat and
buried the Panthers, 31-7. Lafay
ette won the middle three title,
beating Lehigh, 47-7.
Bob Zuppke's 29-year coaching
job with Illinois ended in disas
ter as the Illini went down before
Bill de Correvont and North
western, 27-0. Billy Hillenbrand
accounted for the only score as
Indiana nipped Purdue, 7-0, while
Michigan and Ohio State, bat
tling for second place in the Big
Ten conference, played a spec
tacular 20-20 tie. Nebraska's bit
ter rivalry with Iowa once again
was decided by one point, Ne

Iowa State and Kansas State
played to a 12-12 draw while
Oklahoma ran up a stunning
61-14 count on Marquette.
Southern Methodist won a

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 22-
(VOhio State's Buckeyes and
the Michigan Wolverines ran over
one another Saturday, depending
upon which team had the ball, to
finish in a 20-to-20 tie before a
capacity throng of 85,753.
The even parades of offensive
power split second-place honors
In the Western conference be
tween the two once -beaten
teams as they drew the curtains
on the season.
Fenzied partisans went wild, and
one man left the stands to inter
vene on the field, as the Bucks
grabbed the lead, fell behind and
forged ahead again only to see the
Wolverines pull abreast in the lat
ter stages of the final quarter.
Ohio's plunging backs smashed
over for a couple of touchdowns,
Jack Graf from the four-yard line
and Tom Kinkade from the one,
and Graf passed 20 yards to Dick
Fisher, who scampered 30 more
for the third score. John Hal
labrin kicked the first two extra
points and missed on the try for
the third.
Scoring honors were similarly
divided among the Wolverines,
with the leading gainer, Captain
Bob Westfall, plunging over
from the five-yard line, and
Sophomore Kuxma powering
across from the one-yard mark-
er. Kuxma passed 15 yards to
End Harlin Fraumann for the
other Michigan score. Bill Mel
sow converted twice and kicked
Vide en the third.
In his final collegiate day.
Westfall smacked the Buckeye
line and skirted ends to accumu
late 162 of the 271 yards the Wol
verines gained from rushing. The
Buckeyes found the Michigans
vulnerable for 179 yards, with a
couple of seniors, Fisher with 80,
and Graf with 73, leading the parade.
Michigan made the first-down
mark 19 times to 15 for Ohio State
in this strictly offensive struggle
in which the punt was resorted to
only nine times.
Bruce Smith Heads 41-6
Swamping of Wisconsin
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 22-(ff-Minnesota's mighty tide of
football empire with Captain Bruce Smith brilliantly riding
the crest of the wave swept over Wisconsin Saturday to carry
the Gophers to the Big Ten and national football championships.
With Smith winding up his college career in ail-American
fashion, Minnesota rolled over the Badgers 41 to 6 to run their
winning streak to 17 straight games and give the Gophers the
remarkable record of six Western conference titles in eight years.

Minnesota's great line gave Wis

the Badger attack monotonously
except for one Badger surge. That
