The underdogs from the East averaging about 165 pounds in the line and less in the back-5 'field, stormed from behind to up set University of Detroit High, 19 to 13, to bring the Catholic League its first title since 1943. VICIOUS TACKLING, combined with stinging blocking, brought the Teutons through to their greatest gridiron triumph. The victory was a tribute to the coaching of John Shada, complet- ing his first season as tutor at St.

Anthony. If a team ever had reason to quit, St. Anthony could have found ample cause in the first four min- of play. U. of the City League jh champion which boasted a 10-' game winning streak going into the encounter, took the opening kickoff and marched 70 yards to score In eight plays.

i Bob Golembiewski and Joe Bas-ford accounted for most of the yardage as U. of D. rolled for its marker. Basford took a handoff from Quarterback Tom Zang and sprinted 16 yards for the tally. A 28-YARD end sweep by Bas ford was the biggest gain in this march.

Charles Castrops conver sion attempt Was blocked, but the Cubs owned a 6-0 lead before many of the latecomers had Settled into wotheir seats. The rout appeared on as Bill Schneider recovered Bob Ruth's fumble for U. of D. on the Cub 41 after St. Anthony had made two first downs.

Hitting off tackle and skirting -the ends, the Cubs drove to St "Anthony's 21-yard line on six aplays. With fourth down and a yard to go for a first down, U. of failed to make the yardage. Thus the Teutons halted a threat which could have proved disastrous. ST.

A history-making chance to become the first team in the 53 years of the Western Conference to win three straight undisputed Big Ten championships is the spur ior the For Ohio State, there's even more lucrative bounty.

The favoritism apparently stems from the superior offensive-defensive balance of the Wolverines, pins the comparative showings of the teams against Minnesota. On the basis of past, perform ances, Michigan can't match-the offensive dynamite of the Ohio State backfield. Yet, the Wolver ines have combined a good attack with a sterling defense to move into the co-leadership of the Big Ten.
