In the sec-, ond quarter Decatur made several ■ 1 ng gains but was unable to score. , At the start of the third quarter' Decatur advanced the pigskin to tile one-foot line but Hicksville • held. The Ohio team then punted to the center of the field. The Independents started a line plunging i attack which carried to the twenty-' five yard line. Engle then threw a . pass to Debolt who scored the first touchdown for Decatur. They failed to make the point after on a place kick. A few minutes later. Decatur again had the ball in scar ing territory and a twenty-yard j pass from Engle to Debolt made the second score of the game. The quarter ended immediately after the touchdown was made.

MICHIGAN IS | LEADING TEAM Notre Dame Defeat By Pittsburgh Saturday Biggest Upset In Years Chicago, Oct. 31. (U.R) — With i Notre Dame beaten and Purdue ‘ tied. Michigan entered November ' as the outstanding football team in , the midwest. I Michigan has won five straight i victories and appears headed for at i least a tie for the Big Ten title, Lind the recognition as one of the ‘nation’s strongest teams. After defeating Michigan State. Northwestern, Ohio State and Illinois, the l Wolverines had their closest call of i the season last week from Prince- | ton’s rejuvenated team. Princeton, although accorded little chance of I winning, led at half-time, 7-2, and pushed Michigan to the limit to i triumph, 14-7. I Pittsburgh’s 12-0 victory over ‘Notre Dame, which had overwhelmed its early opposition, was the 'year’s biggest football upset to j everyone except the Notre Dame ’ coach, Heartly Anderson. "I didn’t get any sleep at all last week,” said Anderson on his return to South Bend. "I expected something like this to happen because all the psychology favored Pitt. I am going to get some rest this week so 1 can start worrying next about Northwestern.” I Notre Dame players took all the blame tor the defeat, and admitted they refused to take the game ser- . iouaky. I "Hunk Anderson told us all week Pitt would be tough." said Capt. Paul Host. “And he said even as far back as the opening of practice in September that the Pitt game would be one of the toughest on the schedule. ’ The two Big Ten leaders, Michigan and Purdue, will resume their drive for the conference championship this week after their successful intersectional competition last week. Purdue invaded the east and smashed New York 1 . 34-9. with Duane Purvis and Roy Horstmann ; running wild. Chicago, which a week ago was unbeaten, fell before an inspired Illinois team in a major upset. Scoring two touchdowns in the third period. Illinois won. 13 7. With the score tied 7-7 Capt. Gil Berry returned a punt 75 yards for the winning margin. It was Illinois' first Big T«n victory since 1930. Surprises cropped up in the oth-

[ i 1 HAT long-awaited clash belt tween Tony Canzoneri and JL Billy Petrolle. which is scheduled to take place in New York City shortly, is attracting r >re attoni tion than any lightweight championship contest has commanded since the palmy days of Leonard. The fans’ appetite has been whetted ’ by Canzoneri’s brilliant showings in recent bouts, the lightweight ruler ‘ having kayoed Lew Kirsch, promising New York lightweight, and Frankie Petrolle. brother of Billy, in his two last fights. The fact that Tony has already thumped out the junior member of the fighting Petrolle family adds interest to the forthcoming battle with Big Brother Willie Petrolle. The old Fargo Express vows that he will avenge that blot on tne Petrolle 1 family’s fistic escutcheon by smack--1 ing the lightweight erown right off , . ______. _ ,

- Mr. Canzoneri’s noble dome. This 1 feat, however, is much easier said - than done. I To many smart fistic observers. - it seems that Old Willyum will have - to belt out Canzoneri to win. Can i zoneri is too fast a puncher to give the more deliberate Fargo man 1 much of a chance over the fifteen--1 round route, say these cauliflower r wisenheimers. Well, if it comes to that, what are 1 the odds that Petrolle will be able tc . put the champion down for the long toll? If Billy can do it. he’ll be the first one to turn the trick. f Man anddmy, that Tony has been trading punches with the hardest ? hitting blokes in the leather swing- . ing racket; and nobody can say that 1 they ever saw him in serious danger ; of a kayo defeat. On the other mitt, the Fargo Exf press has been completely derailed

on several occasions. A couple of years ago King Tut laid Billy out cold in the very first round, and Canzoneri's idea is that what has been done before can be done again. The way he has been geing of late, Tony may turn the trick, at that. The stocky little New York Italian looked as strong as two or three bulls in his last Tew fights, and he is punching very hard. However, if you remind Uncle Willie Petrolle that most of the experts are picking against him in this fight, he just smiles that slow western smile of his. Y’ou see. the old guy in the Indian blanket has been on the short end of the betting before nearly all of his best fights, so that doesn’t worry him the least bit. Billy never says much, he just lets his fists talk for him; and usually those fists do quite some shouting. C«p«tlcbl. IV3S.
