BY BOB MURPHY

EVANSTON, oce 2-Two roar
Ing touchdown runs by magnificent
Bill Daley divided the difference
between the football teams Of
Michigan and Northwestern here
this afternoon as the Wolverines
triumphed, PIT, before 10000
fans.
Once a splitting Gopher head
ache 10 Michigan, Daley tonight
is the fondest heart-throb the Ann
Arbor Institution has had since
Tom Harmon passed from the
picture.
Michigan kicked off to North
western and as soon as the Wild
H. It's gave the Wolverines posses
Zion Of the football, their death
warrant was written.
On the first Michigan offensive
play from scrimmage. Daley went
10 his left, cut back diagonally
across the field and went 81 yards
10 score standing up. A couple OF
Wildcats were rude enough to try
and check his progress in the last
20 yards, so the 206-pound Daley
showed his bad football manners
by humping them out OF the way
WILDCATS RALLY
In the same first quarter, Daley
helped carry the ball 10 the s.
ward line and from that point
Elroy (CLazy Legs Hirsch, one OF
-WiSconsin's contributions 10 this
Wolverine powerhouSe, fought his
way across.
Northwestern settled down after
those two first period reverses and
PLAYED fine football. In the sec
ond and third periods they seemed
10 have more spark and lift and
drive than the Wolverines. This
kind OF football brought them a
touchdown at the start OF the
final quarter when Otto Graham,
always a terrific backfeld man
for our money. crashed through
from the 11-yard line 10 score.
DALEY OUTRUNS EN-
This brought the score TO IA
10 z and the Wildcats definitely
were back In the ball game. BUT
NOT FOR LONG. Big Bad Bill
took over again. this time going 64
yards through the heart OF North
westerns defenses.
Daley's run was picture oi
the amazing speed and power that
he carries in that perfecuy-con-
ditioned 206 pounds. He broke
through with understanding speed,
cut sharply down the middle and
Aen simply outran the fleetest
Zen in the Northwestern sec
ondary.
Daley was running so fast and
so recklessly that those in the
south end bleachers started scram-
bling out of their seats. II looked
as though he might 60 right
through that whole end OF the
stadium. And some day, believe
me, he will do just that.
WHITE GALLoPS, TOO
Merv Pregulman added extra
points after all three conversions
today, bringing his seasons total
20 10 out Of Ia, which is par for
the course, and then some.
Pregulman is TO Michigan's line
this season what Daley is 10
the backfield And Daley means
no more 10 Michigan's back field
than wings TO an airplane or
+. d. r. 10 the White House.
The Michigan team was just as
good as II had to be. Any team
looks good on scoring plays, and
in that first quarter the Wolver-
ines were really rampaging. Be
sides the scores by Daley and
Hirsch, there also was a senSa-
tional 44-yard run by Captain
Paul White, which was called back
because one of Brother White $
mates practically cut the legs off
of a Northwestern player with an
illegitimate weapon known In foot
bali circles as "the clip"
But Michigan at times looked
lazy and sloppy and nonchalant.
The Northwestern line time and
again poured through on the
Michigan backs like hungry rela-
tives crashing in on a slowly
sinking rich uncle. Several times
Daley had what seemed like 100
Wildcats on his neck before he
reached the line of scrimmage.
NOW FOR THE IRISH
- But Michigan turned IL on when
the chips were down. And, really
there isn't much you can do about
n guy like Daley. He's an indif-
fePent sort of football cuss. He
doesn't care whether he runs over
around or under the opposition.
Fritz Crisler obviously had made
no real effort to key his men for
This game. You know there is a
little gridiron get-to-together next
Saturday at Ann Arbor between
cruel crew Of Irishmen from South
Bend and this stanpeding bunch
of Wolverines Crisler has assem-
