ANN ARBOR. Nov. 11-Old
Lady Luck, that unpredictable

threads of human destiny. was

University of Illinois here this
afternoon.
Her cooperation. plus quick
touchdown thrust by Michigan in
the first four minutes of the game,
cemented the verdict in favor OF
the Wolverines. ID 10 0.
A crowd of 42.200 came into
the big stadium flushed with the
expectancy of a sparkling often
slve battle that would feature
Claude Buddy Young OF Illinois
against Michigan's fine bevy OF
backs that include Don Lund,
Gene Derricotte. Ralph Chubb,
Jack WeisenbeFger, Joe Pensetto
and Co.
MENU Is CHANGED
Things didn't work out just this
way.
Michigan took the opening kick
off and went 81 yards to score in
three minutes and So seconds. with
Lund crashing over tackle for the
last yards.
Joe PonSetto kicked goal and
that was the margin of victory
for the Michigans until the final
quarter. when Don Greenwood
fumbled a punt and Michigan's
Harold Watts bounced on the ball
on the Illinois 81.
Michigan marched 10 another
score from this point. with Jack
Weisenberger going around end
from the 10 and Ponsetto again
kicking goal.
THE OTHER STORY
That was the way Michigan
scored. but what hasn't been told
is the way Illinois DIDN'T score.
On the last play Of the first
quarter. Illinois was on the l-foot
line. On the first play Of the Sec
ppd quarter Bill Butkovich took
ball from center and handed II
- the direction OF Eddie Bray
Somewhere in the exchange the
ball got loose and this same Har-
old Watts OF Michigan clutched
the ball with the fervor of a re-
turning sailor greeting his sweet
heart.
That was n bad break for Illi-
nois. But there were more bad
breaks 10 come and the next was
in the third quarter when Bill
Butkovich got off perfect pass
from his 81 10 William HESS. sub
fullback, who caught the ball on
the 1-yard line hut had the mis-
fortune 10 tumble il across the
goal line.
No. indeed. Old Lady Luck
wasn't riding with Illinois today.

But this team that Ray Eliot
brought TO Ann Arbor is quite an
outfit. Young went % yards the

Young is one Of the speediest

which has seen some OF the best.
He didn't score, but he gave the
general crowd a thrill and he
provided the Michigan cheerers
with a slight touch of thrombosis
each time he carried the ball.
In front of Young and the
other Illinois backs was a line
that fought it out TO the last

II. 5. Rushed Secret
Of Bazooka 10 Reds,
Army Expert Hints
BY the Associated Press.

oy Inc Associated FreSS.
An intimation that the United
States hastened to give Russia the
secret Of the bazooka gun to help
the Red Army battle Nazi tank at
tacks came yesterday from an Army
ordnance expert.
Col. H. w. Miller of the Ordnance
Reserve. writing In the military
publication Army Ordnance, re-
ported that "the newly developed
American Rocket gun" was among
the weapons the Soviets used in
stopping the Nazi attempt. to break
through at Kursk and Orel with
gigantic mass attacks of tanks in
June, 1943.
The fact that Red forces were
armed with the bazooka as of that
date indicated that no great time
elapsed between the first battle tests
OF the gun in the landines in North
Africa in November, 1912, and de-
livery Of plans or guns or both to
the Russians.
Construction Simple.
Construction of the bazooka gun
itself is comparatively simple, (al-
though manufacture of the rocket
projectile Is more complicatedD and
1t Is quite possible the Russians
manufactured their own weapons
from blueprints and a sample gun.
Col. Miller said the rocket gun
was used by the Russians along with
their own artillery of various cali
bers. high-velocity antitank guns
and highly effective and often-used
bottle of flaming gasoline to destroy
5000 German tanks during a two
week period on the Dursk and Orel
lines.
Col. Miller emphasized the close
combat character of the tank.
If 1t cannot come to grips with
the enemy infantry" he said, 1T is a
relatively useless device. And If the
enemy is willing to use the heroic
methods employed by the Russians,
then the same slaughter THAT pre-
vailed at Kursk and OreD may be
expected on any battle 'front.'
Warns of New Tactics.
In this connection, he advised
that under desperate circumstances
1T must always be assumed that
any group of men, particularly Ger
man troops against which we may
find our own troops battling in
France and Cermanv itSo1f heforo
long" will use the same heroic
tactics.
These tactics. he said, are the
practice Of lying in the fields or be-
side roads as if dead and permitting
tanks to come abreast, then jump
ing up and throwing bottles of gas
oline with detonators against the
side of the tanks from distances of
not more than 30 or 40 feet.

with the head OF the French Com
mite Of National Liberation on the
necessity for close relationship be-
tween France and Britain, but was
reported to have reserved for the
Allied military command any de-
cision on supplying arms to anti
Nazis within France.

The Allied high command policy
has followed the advice Of Gen.
Henri Giraud. commander in chief
of French forces, to send arms to
trained French soldiers rather than
to the underground. Gen. de Gaulle
In a recent speech before the French
Assembly declared the Allies had not
sent enough help to French patriots
despite long and dolorous nego-
tiations.'

of the meeting said the two leaders
reviewed "the principal questions
Interesting to Franco British rela-
tions as well as the different aspects
for cooperation for common VIC
tory"
Treason Trials Discussed.
Among the other questions which
the leaders had an opportunity to
discuss were the establishment of
provisional French government after
the invasion and the pending trea-
son trials of some former high
ranking French leaders on whose
behalf the British and American
leaders are said to have made in
formal inquiries"
Gen. De Gaulle was accompanied
by CASTOR Palowski, his chief po-
litical adviser. Lord Beaverbrook,
