Michigan In Close Squeak Over Badgers CHICAGO (INS) - Michigan’s close 14 to 13 squeaker win over Minnesota and Ohio State's 26 to 16 manhandling of Wisconsin were the top events of the weekend on the Midwest college football front. Other noteworthy accomplishments supplying material for discussion today were Notre Dame’s comparatively easy 22 to 7 triumph over Purdue, Michigan State's 21 to 7 win over Illinois, and Marquette’s 13 to 13 deadlock with a previously untied and unbeaten Boston college. Michigan, the number one team in the nation, faced an inspired Minnesota squad in the annual "Little Brown Jug” contest. The Vhopped-up” Minnesotans scored two first period touchdowns to take a 13 to 0 lead. They missed the second conversion point because flashy Michigan halfback Terry Barr blocked the kick. Barr scored Michigan's first touchdown in the second period and Tom Maentz took a nine-yard pass from Jim Van Pelt for the other in the third quarter. Then Van Pelt kicked the all-important winning point. In the Ohio State triumph over Wisconsin, the Badger’s failure to stop Ohio State’s brilliant halfback Howard (Hopalong) Cassady was the main cause of their downfall. Cassady scored only one touchdown but his hard running helped set up three others registered by Frank Ellwood. The defeat put a big dent in Wisconsin’s hopes for the Big Ten title and added victory number two to Ohio State’s record in conference play. • Notre Dame, smarting over last week’s loss to Michigan State, unloosed a pile-driving running attack and used a rushing defense against Len Dawson’s passes to avenge last year’s defeat by Purdue. An array of Irish backs including Paul Hornung, Dean Studer, Aubrey Lewis, Dick Fitzgerald, Don Schaefer, and Jim Morse hammered out 325 yards for three touchdowns. Daw’son did get off one touch-

down pitch but was rushed and guarded against so effectively that in the closing minutep wlien he tried to punt near his own goalline it was fourth down and 52 yards to go. Then a bad pass from center rolled into the Purdue end zone for an automatic safety for Notre Dame. Michigan State had a rough time beating Illinois, 21 to 7, but Spartan quarterback Earl Morral! was equal to the occasion. Morrall threw two touchdown passes - one to Dave Kaiser and the other U> Bob Jewett. Indiana got out of the Big Ten cellar by edging Northwestern, 20 to 14. Northwestern, which now has five straight defeats-three in conference action-took over the basement spot. Marquette pushed over two first period touchdowns against Boston college to jar the favored Eagles into an unexpected tie in a game at the hub. B.C. came back with single touchdowns in the L second and final quarters to salvage the deadlock and remain in the unbeaten class. At Los Angeles, mighty UCLA belted lowa, 33 to 13, as Sam Brown scored three touchdowns for the UCLAns and Ronnie Knox scored another and passed for a second. This weekend Notre Dame meets unbeaten Navy at South Bend in a vital struggle for the Middies’ bid for national honors. Other contests are: lowa at Michigan, Mich. State at Wisconsin, Northwestern at Ohio State, Ohio U. at Indiana, Purdue at Illinois, Southern California at Minnesota, West Virginia at Marquette.
