PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. a.
Browns big football team, pushed
around for half the game, came to
life in the final quarter today and
handed favored Princeton a 1920
setback on a last-minute field goal.
A crowd of $4,000, watching the
start of Princetons 10th football
season, saw the Tigers tumble and
fritter away the game after they
had led 20-7 at the start OF the last
period.
Joe Condon's field goal from the
2l-yard line with only six seconds
to go provided the winning points
and that was just the climax OF
Browns surprising comeback.
Throughout the first three quar-
ters the Bruins had been taking
it as the well-conceived Princeton
attack, highlighted by George
Sellas S4-yard runback of punt,
produced a touchdown in each.
The big but sluggish Bruins, whose
best offensive weapon was Ed Firms
passing, began to make good use
of this air arm. Brown got its big
chance when Sella fumbled after
taking punt and within eight
minutes Finn pitched for two
touchdowns that tied the score.
Capitalize on Tiger Fumble.
Joe Palermo recovered Sella's
tumble on the Princeton 80 and a
moment later completed a 15-yard
pass to Francis Mahoney on the
Princeton TO- AS the Tigers braced,
Finn took over and tossed an g.
yard pass to Roger Young for the
score.

Later Norb Adams, Harry Szul-

Then Northwestern had the same

tually rammed over but the touch
Down was ,nullif1ed by backfield-

come back.
Another such infractfon cost
Northwestern a touchdown at the
start of the fourth quarter after
Frank Aschenbrenner had plowed
across from the II. That came dur
ing drive from the Purdue So, set
UP by Worthington's recovery OF
Neil Schmidt's tumble. But North
western was not to be denied and
scored four plays later on Don Bur-

a hurricane backf1eld that smashed
236 yards along the ground, North
western whizzed past the first lap
toward a Rose Bowl trip today by
knocking off favored Purdue 21-0.
Ed Tunnicliff, Junior from Ke-
vance, H., returned punt A yards
to set up the Wildcats first touch
down at the outset Of the second
period. Northwestern scored two
more in the final quarter, capital
izing on a Purdue tumble, then
a pass interception which Tom
Worthington ran back As yards for

A capacity crowd of $1,000 wildly
cheered Northwestern's polished out
fit-an 9th place finisher in l947-
as it opened its Big Nine title cam

triumph. They buried U. c. L. A.

Late Wisconsin Rally
Trips Illinois, W.16
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

MADISON. Wis, Oct. 2.-Wiscon-
sins Clarence Self powered over
from the two yard line for touch
down in the last three minutes of
play to defeat Illinois in a thrilling
Big Nine football game, 20 to 16,
today.
Bob Petruska set up the winning
score with 49-yard return of an
Illini kickoff.
The Illini had taken a 1914 lead
after Russ Steger churned through
his right guard from the three after
a 46-yard march.
Two other Illinois points came in
the final period when Tex Cox, Bad
ger punter, fumbled and was downed
in the end zone.
Illinois first score came in the
initial period after Lyle Button
blocked Coxs punt on the Badger
%. Paul Douglas picked up the
loose ball and hauled 1t to the one.
Steger rammed it over and Don
Maechtle added the conversion.
Wisconsin tied the score in the
second period when Jack Pierce S
tumble was recovered by Bennett on
the Illini 4S. Wally Dreyer passed
TO Self, who snatched the ball away
from an Illini defender on the 81
and raced over. Lisle Blackburn s
placekick was good.
The Badgers went into the lead
in the third period. Dreyer pulled
IN punt on the Illinois 40 and be-
hind excellent blocking sprinted
down the side lines for a touchdown
and a lat Wisconsin lead.

in two plays. Finn passed to George
Palermo for "a yards then to Bill
Altieri for 80 yards and the tying
score. Fred Kozak's try was blocked
but another Princeton tumble cost
the Tigers a tie.
Val Wagner fumbled on the 25
after running back the next kickoff
and Tackle Gerard Walters re-
covered. Finn's pitch for touch
down was intercepted on the five
by Bill Collins. Princeton had to
kick and Brown rolled back to the
81. With only enough time left for
one play. Brown elected to try for
a field goal and Condor placekicked
it successfully from about 80 yards
out.
Princeton started out like house
aflre when Wagner scored on the
fifth play after the Tigers got the
ball. 1t was a perfectly executed
play that opened big hole between
guard and tackle and shook Wag-
ner loose for a 47-yard run.
Bruins Tally on Long Pass.
The Tigers made it 1870 in the
second quarter when Carl Liebert
went over at the end of a 61-yard
drive, Princetons' only consistent
display of ground gaining. But the
fans were startled out of their COM
placency minute later when Finn
heaved a long pass from his own
43 and Charles Nelson, who had
outrun the defenders, gathered it
in on the 80 and went all the way.
Sella's 84-yard run. made with the
aid of some fine blocking by Len
Palm and George Chandler, came
at 2:46 of the third quarter. 1t
was the last time Princeton came
close to the goal.

Bob Thomason, tall, clear-eyed
sharpshooter from Virginia Military
Institute, drew a bead on George
Washington's pass defense yester-
day and with a series of well-placed
shots killed the Colonials' hope
for a second consecutive victory in
the Southern Conference. 1t was
v. M. is second win of the season.
Triggerman Thomason fired 27
times and hit II receivers, rolling up
165 yards and three touchdowns as
the Keydets triumphed by a 26-6
score before approximately 1000
fans at Griffith Stadium. George
Washington had been given an out
side chance of winning in pregame
dope. even though experts regard
V. M. I. as one of the most i'm
proved elevens in the Old Dominion
this season, but the margin of its
victory was surprise.
Penalties, fumbles and the lack
of a passing attack of its own hurt
G. w. almost as much as Thomason's S
expert pitching. Two miscues paved
the way for Keydet touchdoWns and
several times when it seemed that
Coach Bo Rowland's men had
pulled themselves together for a
sustained march an untimely pen
atty threw them off stride.
The Greylegs also posted sentries
with strict instructions to halt Andy
Davis, G. WIS chief threat, and Or
ders were so we'll executed ambling
Andy ended up with nothing to show
for his exploits. Davis completed
only four of his IA passes for 80
yards, but v. M. rs aerial defense
was good as the home teams was
bad and while Andy was on the field
he was a threat.
Du Golf Runs 81 Yards.
AS it turned out. Jimmy Kline
was the Colonials' principal ground
gamer and he got couple of bumps
in the second period that slowed him
down.
To Substitute AL DuGof1, a 49,

G. w. from a shutout. He took the

Irish Crush Pitt, 400,
Using Second Half
To Experiment
By the Assoeiosed Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 2.-Notre
Dame loosed a versatile football
powerhouse against Pittsburgh to-
day and rolled over the Panthers,
400 before a sell-out crowd of g.
900 which went away convinced that
the Irish could have scored hun
dred points if they had chosen to
do so.
Coach Frank Leahy sent his first
two teams out to get four quick
touchdowns in the first half and
then spent the rest of the afternoon
experimenting with various COM
binations for tougher chores ahead.
Frank Tripucka and Emil Sitko
spanked the Irish to their first two
markers. Then they joined other
regulars on the sidelines for nearly
three-fourths of the one-sided
game as Leahy swept his bench
clean. He used all 80 players avail
able and seven of them participated
in the scoring.
Overmatched and undermanned,
Pittsburgh proved so feeble that the
Irish never hauled out their secret
weapon-the explosive double-T
with its twin quarterbac acks-which
they used to come from behind a
week ago against Purdue.
The Panthers had only three scor-
ing opportunities and blew them all,
lacking the necessary punch on the
first two and and the necessary time
in their final effort as the game
ended.
Irish Sub Runs IS Yards.
Notre Dame drove IS, AZ and 43
yards for half of their touchdowns
and cashed in on pass intercept
tions for two others. But the most
beautiful scoring play of the game
came in third period when Lancaster
Smith, a 158-pound third-stringer
from Lebanon, KY, gathered in a
punt on the Irish 15-yard line and
rambled IS yards without q man
touching him.
So perfectly we're the Notre Dame
blockers distributed on the play that
Smith found a wide path cut right
through the middle of the entire
Pitt team, just as if tornado had
preceded him down the field.
A tight aerial defense, perfected
in practice for use against Purdue,
began paying off for the Irish today
in the first period.
Pitts Bobby Lee, trying to pass
from his own 20 had the ball hauled
down by Frank Spaniel Of Notre
Dame and he sped % yards to the
Pitt 10. Three plays later, Tripucka
shot a 6-yard pass to Leonard Hart
in the end zone.
Once in front, Notre Dame never
slowed down. Three times in the
second period the visitors swept
across the goal line. Sitko went
over from two yards out at the end
of an 85-yard drive.
Then Bill Gay intercepted another
