The first score for the Badgers was a Notre Dame safety, which came when Bill Kette- laar, Radger tackle, broke through and smothered Jack Khicrs punt from behind his own goal line.

Klder fell on the ball, preventing a Badger touchdown by a fraction of a second, giving Wisconsin a 2-to-0 lead at the end of the first period. But the Notre Dame fighting spirit asserted Itself at the start of the second period. Rockne shot in his shock troops.

Connell' Touchdown' After Drive in Fourth Quarter Decides Game. Tulsa, Oct.

6 Further west than they ever had been before, the Titans of the University of Detroit scored an impressive victory here this afternoon by defeating Tulsa university, 19 to 14. Handicapped by the humidity that reached 90 degrees during the greater part of the game, the Titans were forced to come from behind midway through the final period to achieve their reward. Trailing, 14 to 13, entering the last quarter the pendulum of success swung toward the Titans when Merril Lardner, giant center of the Dorcis combination, leaped high in the air and intercepted a pass that was headed straight for a Tulsa back on the 30-yard line. One Play Changes It. This one play changed what appeared to be almost a certain dpfeat for the Titans into the downfall of the Golden Hurricane.

Once In possession of the ball, the Titans unleashed a spurt that not only brushed aside the Tulsa defense, but carried them to the hardest earned victory they have scored since that chilly November afternoon last fall in Pittsburgh when Carnegie Tech was conquered. The drive, consisting of a mixture of passes and line plunges ended only when "Cowboy" Tom Connell, Titan captain, plunged through the middle of the Tulsa forward wall for six yards and the score that brought victory to the Detroiters. It was a fitting climax to a well played football game, and served to demonstrate the fighting qualities of the team that "Gus" Dorals has assembled. Brushed aside with amazing swiftness in the early moments of the first period, when Tulsa piled up two touchdowns, the Titans never gave up and their determination finally was rewarded with Connell's plunge. Tautes Aid Tulsa.

Tt was the same tactics the Titans had hoped to employ that Tulsa used to gain its early advantage. The game was only several minutes old when two successive passes, Downs to Selby, resulted in a touchdown for the "Oilers" and started them on a drive that was to test the ability of the Dorais combination. And this test. was met for the first time as soon as the Titans retrained nossession of the ball. Tak ing the leather on their own 20-yard line after a punt wbj downed, De- Continued on rage 22.

6. In the department of vital statistics. It now the Yankees have arrived in St. Louis just one game away from an all-time world series record, which means seven in a row, dating back to the Pirate demolition a year ngo. The team that was supposed to be a physical and nervous wreck only three days ago landed tonight on the western rampart, with the skins of Sherdel and Alexander pressed and dried in a clean sweep to date.

This team landed with a number of batting eyes adjusted upon the Jorm of Jess Haines, the star Cardinal pitcher, who has Just finished one of his greatest seasons. Haines will step out against Zachary or Johnson In the third game of current carnival and. if the Yankees can manhandle Haines, they are almost certain to make it four straight again, with VVaite Hoyt ready to open fire on Monday.

In scoring position only three times during the four periods of play and turned back on almost very thrust, the Maize and Blue was forced to accept an Inglorious defeat, 17 to 7. Tied In Third. When the Ohio Wesleyan team took the field, its band burst forth with that old familiar air. "We Don't Give a for the Whole State of Michigan," and this must have Bupplled the inspiration for the Battling Bishops. From the shrill hrlek of the opening whistle, the Ohioans completely outplayed the Wolverines and Justly deserved the fruits of victory.

This was the first time In years that Michigan's colors were lowered in an opening game, and the first time that Ohio Wesleyan had been able to accomplish the feat. Back in 1897, when Fielding H. Yost did double duty as a coach and tackle for Ohio Wesleyan, the Bishops held Michigan to a scoreless tie, but that measured their success against the Wolverines iir all these years. I Today, though. It was a far different team than Michigan had expected to meet in an opening game.

It was a combination that would not be beaten. It proved its gamc-ncBs when, after the score was tied in the third quarter. It came right back to take a. lead and held it to the finish. Michigan Score on Break.

Wesieyan's scon' was the result of touchdowns In ench of the second and third periods and a field goal kicked hv Giancy from the 27-yard line midway In the final quarter. Against this, Michigan was able to show only ono touchdown, and there was a certain element of luck connected with that. Shortly after the third period opened, little Danny Holmes, who had replaced Straub, intercepted a pass on his own 52-yurd line ami raced down the side of the field to within two yards of the goal line before he was brought to earth. This was the only time that the Michigan students had cause to cheer, but their vociferous yells were almost in vain, as It took three plunges at the line before Men. the Wolverine captain, was able to tuke the ball across.

There was deep silence hovering over the stands as Oembis dropped back to kick goal, and when the ball went sailing over the uprights, tying the score, it marked the first time that Michigan had been able to hold Its own against this fighting band of football warriors. I pttet Comes in Second. When Holmes Intercepted the pass that was to put his team in a position to score, it was almost a duplication of the play that netted Wesleyan its first touchdown. Midway in the second period McKIn-ney, a tall, rangy Wesleyan back, intercepted one of Wneclar's passes and evaded all tacklers until he reached the Michigan 45-yard line. Once there, the Bishops began a drive that, ultimately, was to bring them success and start them on the way to what proved the biggest upset in the annals of Michigan football.

After Thomas had cut Inside Michigan's right tackle for 11 yards, Brecse hurled a pass to Thomas that advanced the ball to tne i-yard line Thomas added five more on the next play, inside tackle, and Halliday circled the right end of the Wolverine line for four more. Here Wesleyan got a break, as Michigan was detected off-side and the Bishops got the ball on the seven-yard tripe. The Michigan line, its back to the wall, offered futile resistance to the drive of the Wesleyan backs. Halliday began the advance with a plunge of two yards that netted a first down on the five-yard line and caused the Michigan students to quell their cheering. On two plays, Breese, who later was to become the star of the conflict, took the leather to the one-foot line and, out of a scramble of players on tha next formation, he crossed the line for the score that helped demoralize the Michigan forces.

Once the Bishops had the Wolverines on the defensive, they never missed an opportunity and nice was sent in to add the extra point 1 giving Wesleyan a lead when the first half ended.

YANKEE RIDERS WIN POLO TITLE Tommy Hitchcock's Horsemen Defeat Argentine, 13-7, in Final Match. Westbury, N. Oct -(A. Argentina's bid for world polo supremacy failed here today when a swift-riding, accurate-shooting United States four won, 13 to 7, taking two of the three games. Unlike the two previous contests, play today was one-sided, one way or the other, after th first periods.

The United States team scored as it pleased during the fourth chukker, scoring times and running up a seven-goal lead. The visitors after scoring but two goals in six periods spurted the seventh and eighth session and counted five straight goals whii holding their opponents scoreless. The series nearly ended tragically when with about two minutes of play remaining.

His shots were heart-breakers that wore out his opponent even as they had done on the previous two days when this great match player downed Hagen and Gene Sarazen in successive battles. Probably never did a man fight his way to a title In fashion more Impressive or more worthy of a champion. In Espinosa Diegel met a player who had won the medal with a splendid 70-72142 for this ditlirult Five Farms layout for which par is but 70 a man who had played around par virtually all week, shooting better golf over the entire stretch than he, yet when it came to the showndown it was Diegel who could win the holes.

Espinosa, although putting up a courageous fight, was well out of It when they went to lunch after the morning 18 holes, with Diegel leading by iour up. Vphlll Fight in Vain, The genial Al, worried, strove to come from behind in the next nine holes but the best he could do was to hold his opponent even and that exasperating lead of four holes still hung over his head as the final nine started. They split even on the first of them, but Al's putting touch began to weaken under the strain. He three-putted away the next two and could get no better than a half on the short thirty-first. This was enough to beat him.

I As the battle ended, on a green far from the club house, the shout raised by the enthusiastic gallery of some 2.000, which had followed the play for miles, announced the winner and a band swung Into the triumphant strains of "Hail to the Chief." In addition to being the first national championship ever won by Diegel. it was the first to be decided over this new course, a long and tricky layout which won the the hearts of the pros.

Md Oct. 6 (A. Navy's football ship was scuttled again today, this time by Boston college, 6 to 0. The Bostonians scored late in the first period and then held the Middies at critical times, to maintain their advantage, which came with Weston's touchdown. The Bostonians stopped Lloyd.

Navy's star back, before he could get started. It was not until the third quarter that Navy showed anything like a chance to win. Then a second team, with Castree taking the star role, ploughed through the New Englanders only to have their play stopped when within scoring distance. Weston, Boston's quarterback, was the outstanding player on the field, one of the hardest running backs that has been seen In action against a Navy team here. He ploughed the line and ran the tackles and ends and did some passing to round out the performance.

It was his 25-yard run through Navy's left tackle, after he and his mates had carried the ba'l in a steady march down the field, that furnished Boston its margin of vlc-torv. Navy rushed Its first string backs Into the fray in the final period.

They have been outhlt and outpltched. When you are outhlt you are nearly always out-pitched, for one leason or another that is simple. After New Record. In this third game, played Sunday over the western turf, the Yankees are keen to break the old Cub record of 1907 and 1908. In 1907 the Cubs, after a tie game, beat the Tigers four straight.

A year later they grabbed two more wins before the Tigers came to life. That made it six In a row. Last fall, the Yankees whipped the Pirates four in a row and they also made it six straight in the second St Louis affair when Ruth and Gehrig and Meusel continued their cannonading as Pipgras picked up Just about where Hoyt left off. While the two teams are all square in fielding, with two errors, the general situation is lopsided in all other respects. The Yankees have made 15 hits to 7 for the Cardinals.

They have piled up 13 runs against 4. It has been the old combination of Ruth and Gehrig, the double dose of TNT. that has done most of the wrecking, with Bob Meusel crowding in at close quarters. The Yankees are only batting .250 as a team In this series, but Ruth is storming along at .714 and Gehrig is hacking up the bombarding Br.be with .429. Together they have eight of the Yankees' 15 hits and have scored six of the Yankees' 13 runs.

He hasn't swatted anv home runs out of the park. but for all that he seems to tie in the midst of his greatest series, all geared for bigger deeds ahad.
