In fact, it was even worse than unbelievable as Michigan unleashed one of the most devastating attacks ever witnessed a Western Conference gridiron to humiliate Ohio State, 58 tgg. But while the 78,634 fans sat in consternation, they found some small measure of glee in the announcement that Illinois defeated Northwestern, 20 to 0. That Illinois victory sent the only Big Nine team to defeat Michigan this season into the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, subject to approval by conference schools.

If Illinois had lost, Michigan would have followed the path of roses to Pasadena, but it just wasn't to be. Northwestern Never Threatens Ch ampions' Trip to Rose Bowl BY BOB LATSHAW Free I'reis Staff Writer EVANSTOX, 111. Champions of the West. For the first time in 18 years the University of Illinois reigns ns the titleholder of the Western Conference. The Illini won undisputed possession of the crown by handing Northwestern 20-0 defeat before 17,000 fans in Dyche Stadium.

With the championship goes the trip to the annual Rose Bowl classic on New Year's Day, although officially the representative of the Big Nine will not be known until next Thursday after a vote by faculty representatives. Blocking Like This Paves Way for Wolverines' First Touchdown THE DETROIT FREE PRESS ILLINOIS CAPTURED its first Big Nine title since 1928 despite Michigan's 58-6 triumph over Ohio State in Columbus. In the final standings, Illini held a full game edge over the Wolverines. In winning, the Illini departed somewhat from their usual PART FOUR SUNDAY, NOV. 24, 1946 I-a rTie tactics.

This contest wasn't decided by breaks or luck. Illinois completelv outnlaved the battered Northwestern eririders tn THE GAME HEBE found the hitherto-powerful Buckeyes absorbing their worst defeat at the hands of Michigan since 1902 when Willie Heston and Co. rumbled to a 58-0 triumph. Ohio never had a chance. Its only touchdown came in the last minute on a sleeper pass from Bill Doolittle to Rod Swinehart that covered 63 yards.

Michigan made 22 first downs to only four for the hapless Bucks. The Wolverines amassed 509 yards to only 125 and ran up their points like this quarter by quarter: 7-20-14-17. err; S. madak r-nf yw NEVER HAS a Michigan team of the modern era risen to such heights as this one did. So complete was the rout that in the final minutes Coach Fritz Crisler inserted members of the team, which already had played against the Ohio squad and defeated it, 33 to 14, in the morning.

Michigan had stars galore. There was Jim Brieske, who missed only one of eight conversion tries and completed the Wolverine scoring with a field goal from the 12-yard line. He had a day's total of 10 points credited to his toe. There were the linemen everyone on the squad who chopped the Buckeyes to little pieces. But the biggest star of all was Halfback Bob Chappuis, of Toledo, of all places! He passed for earn the decision.

Illinois scored twice in the second period to get its edge and then added an "insurance" touchdown in the final quarter. Four different players figured in the Illini scoring, Art Dufel-meier and Bill Huber tallying in the first half and Bert Piggott adding the fourth-quarter marker. Roger Drew converted on two of the three scores. With the exception of the first quarter, when Northwestern staged a drive to the Illinois 34, the Wildcats never threatened Illinois. On this spurt Northwestern failed to make a first down on fourth down by inches and had to give up possession of the ball.

THEN THE ILLINI were given a benefit of a "silent" pep t.ilk. The score board at the south end of the field showed Michigan loading Ohio State, 7 to 0. Starting on its own 34, Illinois drove down the field to the Wildcat six. where Northwestern 's line held and prevented a score. Then the scoreboard showed Michigan scoring two more touchdowns in the second quarter and Illinois was off to the races.

Illinois gained possession on the Northwestern 47 after a punt and Julie Rykovich moved the ball to the 43. Buddy Young then danced his way down the sideline to the Wildcat 10. Young tried to slice off tackle without success, and the Illini took to the air. Perry Moss passed perfectly to Huber in the end zone, but t'ae usually sticky-fingered end droDned the ball. Then, on a.

AFTER FIVE MINUTES of sparring in the center of the field, the Illini took another look at the scoreboard. Michigan was out i-t" it. yy Syr Oh io State 6 in front at the end of the half, 27 to 0. Illinois had the hall on its own 33. Dufelnieier picked up one.

Young sprinted to the 47 and then Dufelmeier, aided by some superb blocking, went 53 yards for the score. This time Drew converted. That ended the scoring until the fourth period, but Illinois blew another chance midway in the third period. In this drive the Illini moved from their 28 to the Wildcat 20 by running plays, hut suddenly switched to passes and lost the ball after four straight unsuccessful tosses.

THE BRILLIANT and versatile junior passed and rushed his way for 270 yards to give him a conference total of 1,038. That surpassed by 176 yards the recognized Big Nine record set by Otto Graham, of Northwestern, in 1942. Bob completed 13 of 21 passes for an amazing 244 yards and added 26 more on nine rushes. He left the game in the first minute of the final period and never returned. The Wolverines went to the airways with an accuracy that completely befuddled the Buckeyes.

They tried 29 passes and completed 16 for an even 300 yards. Michigan scored the first time it got the ball after a 64-yard march in which little Hank Fonde was the big man. He wound up by zipping over from the one-yard line after six minutes and 43 seconds of the opening period. LATE IN THE same quarter Michigan began to roll again and the Buckeyes fell out of the way like duck pins. The drive began on the Wolverine 19-yard line.

On the last play of the period Chappuis fired a 48-yard pass to End Bob Mann, who reached the Buckeye 19. Three plays later Mann grabbed a Chappuis pass from 16 yards out. When Brieske missed the extra point for the only time, the score remained 13-0. Late in the second period Michigan scored twice more. The first touchdown covered 63 yards and required only three plays to negotiate the distance.

Len Ford rambled 36 yards on an end-around play from his 37, Chappuis passed to Art Renner to reach Ohio's 14 and then fired another aerial to Fonde, who streaked over the goal line. A recovered fumble after the next kickoff gave the Wolverines control on Ohio's 39 and in four more plays the score was 27-0, the way it stood at the half. Gene Derricotte raced to the 31, Chappuis barreled to the 25 and passed to Howard Yerges for 20 yards. On the next play Chappuis tucked the ball under his arm and chugged the rest of the way to paydirt.
