Gopher Upset By Illinois Is Grid Feature Purdue's Victory Over Northwestern Is Also Surprise Chicago. Oct. 12 it Pi The fi»i us one great mid-western football dynasty may mean the start of another. When Minnesota was defeated 20 to 13 by Illinois Saturday in one of the biggest upsets of a young season that hast been tilled with form reversals, It marker! the end of the Gophers' two-year dornin atl< n over Big Ten teams. The triumphs was Illinois' hist In tin- Big Ten since 193# and may be the loginning of a arid era such as the llllni knew during the days of “Bed" Grange While Illinois' victory over Minnesota featured the program, it wasn't the only surprise of the Week-end schedule The Upset of secondary Importance was Purdue’s 7 to 6 conquest over Northwestern. In other games involving mid west teams, the lowa navay cadets came from behind to beat Michigan 28 to 15. Ohio State trimmed Southern California 28 to 12. Wisconsin downed Missouri 17 t > 9. Indiana beat Nebraska 12 to 0. lowa won easily from Camp Grant 33 to 16. Great latkes edged Pittsburgh 7 to 6 and Notre Dame smothered Stanford 27 to 0 Illinois' triumph was well-deserv-ed and a tribute to the soundness and ability of Its new coach, Kay Eliot. Eliot took advantage of two early season games with minor foes to bring his team to a peak for Minnesota and in the clutch his underrated, but alert eleven produced. Two of Illinois' touchdowns were scored by guard Alex Agaae. One of his market* came when he “stole" the ball from Bill Daley and raced 25 yards and the other was made as he fell on a misdirected pass from center back of the goal line. Illinois' third touchdown was made by Don Griffin from the four yard line. Minnesota contributed to Its downfall by fumbling nine times. The Gophers now have been beaten on successive week-ends by the lowa Cadets and Illinois Only once before In the last 11 seasons has Minnesota lost two in a row. In the other conference encounter. Purdue came hack after losses to Fordham and Vanderbilt to beat Northwestern by the margin of a point after touchdown. The Boilermakers scored In the first quarter and ten protected the alim margin through the dual three periods. Northwestern tallied in the fourth quarter but Al Pick, hero of the Wildcats' victory a week ago over Texas, missed the attempted conversion. Bernie Blet man's great lowa Cadet teams put on a great rally

e Todays Sport Parade (Reg. U. 8. Pat Office By Jack Cuddy t • New York Oct. 12 — (t’Pi — If Sgt Joe Louis actually has retired | from the ring, as he Indicated today at Omaha, til* abdication of the heavyweight throne will bring no tears to promoter Mik Jacobs' calculating eyes. It’s a great Bleak for I'ncle Mike. It couldn't have been better. In 1 fact, even If th" *qulre of Rumson I had a finger in the retirement — which, of course, he hadn't. Jolting Joe's abdication will enable Jacobs to: 1. Stage an elimination tourna ! meat to determine a title successor. , I 2 Continue promoting heavy weight champ onahip battles. 3. Keep control of big-time boxing. Since the days of Tex Rickard, it has been demonstrated that the promoter who controls the heavyweight champion Is in posaition to ride herd on most prominent leath-er-tossers In other divisions. Since I IxiiiM joined thi army. Jacobs lost . control of the champion. I’ncle I Sam has control. Otherwise 1-ouls and Corp Billy Conn would be meeting today In a return bout at Yankee stadium. But they’re not. That scheduled bout was cancelled by Henry L. Stimson, secretary of war. With t>oth 1. mis an Conn unable to fight—at least for profit—Jacobs needs a new heavyweight king to liven his boxing enterprise*. The big money is In the heavies. Moreover. activity among the heavier, stimulates interest In -bouts iu other divisions. The retirement of Louis will put Jacobs In position to get a new heavyweight champion. We predict that as soon as laimbe.- Joe's retirement becomes "official." Jacobs will begin negotiations for an elimination tourney to determine i-ouis' successor. This tourney doubtless will bet under way with the Lee Bavoid-Taml Mauriello tilt already slated for Madison Square Garden.

Louis Retires From Ring As Heavy Champion Announces Plan To Quit, Concentrate On Army Service Omaha. Neb.. Oct. 12. <t P» Sgt U»uls. busiest champion and most destructive puncher In heavyweight history, has retired from the ring to concentrate on 1 fighting for I’ncle Sain. Ixiitis. set ond negro to wear pugiHam's most coveted crown, admitted his retirement and abdication of the throne on the day he originally was scheduled to make his 22nd defense against Billy Conn In a return battle. The flgth was can-, celled at direction of secretary of war Henry L. Stlmacn. ' Jolting Joe explained that the war and hie increasing years had rung down the curtain on his career. At 28. the man who had developed from an Alabama plantation pickaninny Into one of the ring’s greatest fighting machines, said he was hanging up his gloves. He said: “By the time I'll be out of the army. I'll be in the 30's, and that's too old for a champion. I'm too old now." Ixjuls. who participated in an exhibition drill here yesterday with the Fort Riley. Kan., cavalry team, evinced little emotion at quitting the buslnex of leather-tossing In which his purses during eight years totaled approximately $2,228.000. “It doesn't make much difference, now. I guess.'" Lcuis said. Although Bergeant Joe declined to amplify this statement, he referred apparently to the recent order from Stimson which cancelled the Ixiuis-Conn bout for army relief when he learned that both flghleru were to be paid. No army bexers will be permitted to fight for profit, henceforth. Promoter Mike Jacobs, who had staged all of bomber Joe's important bouts, was informed of the retirement at his Rumson. N. J., estate. Jacobs said the retirement didn't surprise him much. "To tel) you the truth. I thought he quit the ring when he enlisted In the army,” Jacohs said. "No. I ’don't know whether his title will pbe declared vacant.” He added that I he had no plans concerning a poss Ible title successor. Since Billy Conn also Is In the army, the next three ranking heavyweights are Bob Pastor of New York. Lee Savold of Des Moines and Tami Mauriello of New York. Louis hae bee the most active of heavyweight champions. He defended the crown he wrested from James J. Braddock on an eightround knockout at Chicago. June 22. 1917. 21 times. Bomber Joe enlisted in the army as a private on Jan. 14 at the height of a career that began eight years ago In Chicago—July 4. 1934. Since his professional debut, he fought 57 times, scoring 47 knockcuts for the most destructive punching av erage of any heavy champ. He earned seven decisions, won one bout on a disqualification, and was defeated but once — when knocked out In the 12th round by Max
