Ohio State Is New Threat In Big Nine Ranks Chicago. Oct 28. <t'P> There was a rumbling In the rear rank of the western conference today i ’hut caused the big nine leader* to take quick glume* over their : shoulders. The cause of the- "back row" i disturbance was an Ohl > State learn I which finally gave indications ot j fulfilling some pre season promises The Bucks, who had been one of I the conference's major disappoint , men’s through the early week* of I play, finally hit their s'rlde as they I trounced Minnesota .3* to 9. With a defeat and a tie already on its record Ohio State's own title hope* are extremely dim. but the Hucks well may hold the key tc the outcome of the championship race Ohio State's next two leaguestarts are against the big nine’s ranking outfits, Northwestern and Illinois. mid the result* of those ; buttles will go a long ways toward affording definite clarification ot the scramble for the crown won u Reason ag i by Indiana. Boli Brugge, who starred on Ohio State's title winning team of 1944 prior to his entrance Into the service. was the youngster who spark ed the Bucks' rebound Brugge scored on runs of .31 and 24 yards and passed 29 yards to end Ernie Parks for another touchdown. Northwestern stepped outside league competition to defeat lhe College of the Pacific 26 to L 3. but still moved Into undisputed pos- 1 session of the big nine lead. The move of tne Wildcats was accomplished when Illinois handed Michigan a surprising 13 to 9 setback to break a first place deadlock. In defeating College of the Pacific, coach Lynn Waldorf employed his Northwestern regulars for only eight minutes of the first quarter The Wildcat first stringers were on the field for but nine offensive plays and scored two rapid-fire touchdowns in that brief bit of action. Illinois combined alertness and a solid defense to turn hack a heavily favored Michigan Outfit. Sam Zatkoff. Illinois end. Intercepted a parts by Bob Chappuls and raced 50 yards in the third period to provide the lllini with its winning touchdown. But the big Illinois line had to thwart two desperate fourth quarter touchdown bids by Michigan to clinch the victory Notre Dame gave additional evidence of its greatness by rolling over lowa 41 to 6. lowa, rated as one ot the mid writ's stoutest de tensive teams, had given up only 21 points in five previous games but the Hawkeyes were engulfed by lhe Irish offense. Johnny Lujack, Notre Dame's talented quarterback, completed seven out of 11 passe* for 136 yards. A field goal In the tinal three seconds of play by Henry Strata was Purdue's margin of victory in its 10 to 8 win over Pittsburgh Indiana downed Nebraska 27 to 7 with quarterback Ben Raimondi passing for all the Hoosier touchdowns.
