Minnesota And Illinois Clash Week's Feature Chicago, Oct. 13 —(UP)— Illinois and Minnesota stood at the top of the big nine football standings today, but only one of them has a chance of keeping the lead after next Saturday and that ' one probabaly will be deadlocked with Michigan. The Gophers and the mini will tangle at Champaign in the top conference game of the week, while Michigan, topheavy favorite to win the league championship, begins a six-gaine string of conference contests with a game against Northwestern. Michigan was a cinch to be favored over Northwestern. In other games next Saturday lowa and Ohio state will complete the conference slate at Columbus, while in non-circuit clashes, Pittsburgh travels to Indiana. Purdue to Boston university, and Wisconsin to Yale. The other major midwest club, Notre Dame, opens its home schedule against Nebraska. Minnesota moved into me tie for first place with Illinois Saturday by scoring a one-sided 37 to 21 triumph over Northwestern. The Wildcas. apparently from habit, presented Minnesota with tw r o toitchdowns on first period fumbles, and the Gophers held that lead although Northwestern rallied to score three times before the finish. lowa moved higher in the rankings, too. with an upset decision over Indiana. 27, to 11. as 160pound quarterback Al Di Marco pitched three touchdown passes to Emlen Tunnell. George Taliaferro wai? the sparkplug and pranced 67 yards for one Hoo<sier tally. The rest of Saturday’s games were non-conference, and it was a tough day for the big nine. Three clubs lost, one was tied and only one brought home a victory. Michigan was the sole winner, trampling Pittsburgh 69 to 0 after a scoreless first period. Bob Chappuis as expected, was the sparkplug. Illinois, although not a winner, fought to a scoreless tie with Army but the easterners, undefeated for 31 games, had to stave off repeated threats by the Champaign squad. Illinois made the only genuine scoring attempt of the game when Don Maechtle missed a field goal shortly before the Ist half ended and after the Illini had reached the army seven yard line. Wisconsin suffered the worst defeat in the league. The Badgers had been given a chance against California, but they fumbled twice in the first half to set up two touchdowns for the Golden Bears. Then Wisconsin fell apart in the second half before a determined passing and running attack, and lost, 49 to 7. Southern California clipped Ohio State, 32 to 0. scoring touchdowns on two passing plays, two advances around end and off tackle and once

Luckman And Baugh Star In Victories By United Press The magic names of Sid Luckman and Sammy Baugh were emblazoned into tales of victory again today, just as they have been for nearly a decade. The National Football league simply has nothing else to match the old-timers. Luckman did his stint yesterday by throwing three touchdown passes and setting up two other tallies with “dead-eye-dick” aerials as the Chicago Bears licked the Philadelphia Eagles, 40-7. Baugh, meanwhile, passed for one touchdown and then cracked the line for two more as the Washington Redskins outscored tne New York Giants, 28-20, in a thriller. The Chicago Cardinals lashed the Green Bay Packers, 14-10, the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Detroit Lions, 27-13; and the Pittsburgh Steelers downed the Boston Yanks, 30-14, in the other games of the day. Protest Game By United Press The movies held the answer today to the question of who should have won the Baltimore-Buffalo game in the All America Conference. The scoreboard favored Buffalo. 20-15, when the crowd filed out of the stadium, but Baltimore president Robert R. Rodenherg said the score should have been Baltimore 21, Buffalo 20. Rodenberg said he was filing an official protest with conference commissioner Jonas H. Ingram. He said the movies of the game would prove his contention that a touchdown run by end Lamar Davis should have been allowed. Field judge Eddie Tyron ruled that Davis was knocked out of bounds, but Robenberg claims that those close to the play saw it otherwise. Los Angeles won its game over the Cleveland Browns in a smashing 13-10 upset yesterday because a kid named Ben Agajanian can kick a ball without toes. San Francisco charged to a 42-28 rout victory over the Chicago Rockets at San Francisco, and that game, combined with the Brown loss, locked the 49-ers and Cleveland into a two-way tie for first place in the western division standings. The New York Yankees won as per expectations from the Brooklyn Dodgers, 31-7, and the Buffalo Bills scored in the last period to down Baltimore in that disputed game.
