Tf one victory Is considered solace for the Scarlet and Gray for past Indignities forced at the hands of the Wolverines, the doughty sons of Ohio will agree that they are even now.

For today, the first time since 1922, an eleven coached by Jack Wilie boat a Michigan team and in accomplishing the feat demonstrated superiority that could not be disputed by the most loyal partisan of the Maize and Blue. In wresting athletic glory from Michigan before one of the most colorful throngs that ever watched the traditional rivals at play, Ohio three touchdowns and kicked successfully once for the extra point, while Michigan scored one touchdown and kicked for the other point.

TWO years Is a long time to wait for revenge, but the University of Detroit football squad made the most of its opportunity yesterday afternoon on the soggy turf of Dinan field and turned back Loyola, of New Orleans, 27 to 0.

Inspired by the memory of a defeat suffered in the southern metropolis in 1926, the Titans, playing the same type of football that brought, them to the forefront of western football last season, outplayed and outsmarted their opposition to win with much to spare. In the gaze of more than 15,000 people, the largest crowd with ons exception that ever witnessed a game on Dlnan fultl, the Titans unleashed an atack in the first half that was sufficient to bring about ths revengeful victory. merits oi uie cicvcno. Score Through Fluke. Michigan's score was a fluke that eai clearness, perhaps aided byover-snxlousness on the part of Halfback Coffee, who was fated to figure considerably In the later set the stage for.

One of Wheeler's punts, carrying to the Ohio 10-yard line, took a false bound, and grazing Coffee's clothing, sped back of the goal posts. Alert to what had happened, two, Michigan men hit Coffee and Drave-' lir.g, unincumbered, raced for the hill and fell on It back of the goal line. Ohio scored In the first, second i fourth quarters and Michigan's oore was made In the first quarter, when, because Gembis kicked successfully for the extra point and the Buckeye kicker failed, Michigan led and gave cause to her support-era to nurse the thought that, after all, the Maize and Blue would again rise to the occasion and repudiate her most beloved foe. Figures Tell Story. Improvement over last Saturday was marked in the Michigan eleven, but it had to go a long way further to be equal to the task imposed this afternoon.

The summary of statistics offers concrete proof of superior power in the Buckeye front. Ohio made 13 downs to Michigan's one and trained 157 yards to 50 for the Wolverines. The margin In Ohio's favor was greater in the first half, when she scored two of the three touchdowns. Then the scarlet clad players made seven first downs to none for Michigan and gained 109 yards againBt 31 for men of Wleman. Ohio figured to win by a margin of three touchdowns and she did if the tluke on which Michigan scored cmild properly be elminated.

Yet facing odds that most everybody felt certain existed, the Wolverines never stopped trying. That's not a fault with any Michigan tiarn. Buckeye Backs Star. In Eby, Coffee and Holman, all three in the game alternately, the Maize and Blue met opposition that exacted Its toll and took it. Hard running backs, ths stars of Ohio's attack are equally efficient at or receiving passes.

Furthermore the chap who acted as pilot the Buckeyes today has a mind that functions. His handling of the ten was superb and his choice of pi.v ii varied.

20. (A. An Army objective, first planned 33 years ago, was Anally achieved here today when the Cadet football team gained Us first victory over Harvard, 15 to 0, In a game featured by Crimson miscues. The game was the fourteenth the teams have played since 1895 and in 13 of them the soldiers were able to score but a total of six points. It took them less than that many minutes this afternoon to better that total.

Soon after Captain "Bud" Sprague, the Army tackle, who last year was given a place on The Associated Press Ail-American team, kicked off, French, the Harvard leader, fumbled a direct pass from his cen ter and the ball was recovered byj Perry, Army lineman, on the Crimson's 14-yard line. The Harvard line held superbly, but on the fourth down, with 20 yards to go, Cagle completed a long pass to Nave, the Army quarterback, and Murrel, the fullback, hit the Crimson center for the touchdown. Miscues Costly. French fumbled another pass from the center a few minutes later but his linemen were able to pie-vent a score. Ills third mlscue, late In the first period, gave the Army a safety.

French failed to hold another pass from the center and the ball rolled behind the Harvard Murrel, the Cadet fullback, falling on it for the two-point tally. The second Army touchdown, in the second period, was an earned tally. The Cadets marched 75 yards up to within the shadow of the Crimson posts. With the ball on Harvard's 20-yard line, the Cadets tried vainly to batter their way through the Crimson line. Deciding that this way was blocked, Nave hurled a long pass to Mes-singer, who replaced Lynch at right end.

The latter received It on the one-yard line and took but a single step to Increase the Army's score to 15. Crimson Fights Buck. Karvcrd was much stronger during the second half and was able to keep the Cadets from penetrating far in its territory. The Crimson attack, however, was ragged and many times when Gilligan, the sophomore quarterback, who replaced the veteran Putnam early in the game, or Dave Guarnaccia, halfback, put the team on Us way with a long run, some cog would slip In the Harvard machine and the lost yardage would force French to punt. The Harvard defense against forward passing was woefully weak and every time the hard working linemen repulsed an Army attack, the Cadets took to the air and resumed the march.

Many times a completed pass would have put Harvard wltmn scoring aisiance but the Army forwards smashed every aerial formation as It assembled. Harvard tried at least two dozen forwards and laterals during the gams wltnoui gaining a single Inch. Army Outrushed. The chart showed that Harvard Continued On Tage it. WEST VIRGINIA BEATS GENERALS Charleston, W.

Stumpp and Ed Bartrug. lanky ball-toters, were the outstanding Mountaineer warriors. They made a number of long gains in addition to scoring the second touchdown when Stumpp tossed a 25-yard pass to Bartrug.

Wisconsin, whose crushing attack humbled Notre Dame two weeks ago, today found a worthy foe in Purdue. The Badgers battled to a 19-to-19 tie with the Boilermakers. The game thrilled a Purdue homecoming crowd of 15,000. the blood of the Old Gold and Black rooters running alternately hot and cold as their team forged ahead in the first period, fell back into a tie in the second period, pushed ahead again in the third period, only to drop back Into another tie, and then battled on even terms through the fourth period to finish with the score 19-all. Purdue has not scored a victory over Wisconsin since 1892, and when the Old Gold and Black got away to an Impressive start there were high hopes In the Purdue stands that, at last, the tables would be turned.

Furduo Scores First. Wisconsin braced, however, and opened up with a forward passing attack that during the remainder of the game kept the Purdue followers on edge. Harmeson, Purdue quarterback, shoved over the first touchdown when the game was but a few minutes old. A short Wisconsin punt had given Purdue the ball in the Wisconsin territory and after a few line plays, Harmeson made the five remaining yards to the goal line. He failed, however, to make good the kick for the extra point.

In a few minutes more came the second Boilermaker touchdown, this one being registered by Fullback Miller. He had only one foot to go. however, for Guthrie had made a long run to place the ball within striking distance. Harmeson again failed to kick goal. Badgers Pass.

The second period belonged to Wisconsin. The Badgers started forward passing and their throws were accurate. With the ball far down In Purdue's territory, Lusby, Wisconsin right halfback, hurled a pass to Cuisinler. the Badger quarterback, and he dashed across the goal. Lusby failed in the attempt to kick for the extra point Rose, who had been sent in to play halfback, put the Badgers on even terms with their opponents when he took another pass from Lusby and eluded Purdue tacklers.

Backus missed the attempt to make the additional point Purdue opened up in the third period with a flash of the form that it displayed at the beginning Caraway, taking Miller's place at fullback, crasned inrougn ine line for some good gains. Welch helped Continued oa face 21. Long Stars on Defense). Out of this relentless offense that turned back every challenge came Brazil, Maloney Connell and Lon to stand out above the rest in sharing the spoils of victory. Of the four.

It was Long who proved the biggest menace to the southerners. Playing the best game of his meteoric career, the Titan tackle was a stone wall on defense. Time after time he broke through to stop plays behind the line and usually was the nrsi man oownine nem under punts. It was his play, more than anv thing else, that so inspired the! Titan forward wall that the south-! erners ceased trying as early as the second period to make a conceiv traiea enori to gain tnrougn the line. It was Long who forced Loyola to resort to the overhead game and after forcing this change in tactics, it was Brazil who did the rest, batting down passes to the right of him and to the left of him until the heart was crushed out of the Loyola offense.

Indiana Rallies to Score in Fourth Period Humbert Is Shining Star. Champaign, Oct. 20. (A. Indiana, conqueror of Michigan, saw its western conference gridiron championship hopes fade today.

Illinois, the 1927 title holder, making its debut in the scramble for the 1928 honors, defeated the Hoosiers 13 to 7, in a game that brought thrills to the 35,000 spectators in the closing minutes when Indiana made a frantic effort to snatch victory bv tossing forward passes all over the field. Illinois, playing smart and tricky football, outplayed Indiana for the first three periods, piling up a lead of 13 to 0. Then, In the fourth period, the Hoosiers. chiefly through the efforts of Captain Chuck Bennett, right halfback, crashed over with a touchdown. Aerial Attack Falls.

In the closing seconds of the period the Hoosiers opened up with a desperate forward passing attack, trying eight Aerial shots In succession. After the Illinl failed to crack the Indiana line in the opening attack, Zuppke sent Fritz Humbert, the big siege gun, into the game at fullback to repiace Bergeson, just before the first round ended. With the ball on the two-yard line as the second period opened, Humbert plowed through on the first play for the touchdown, with Nowack kicking goal from placement for the extra point. In the third period Humbert smashed over for another touchdown from the one-yard line, but Nowack failed in his effort to add the extra point Bennett Scores. In the fourth period Bennett tossed a pass to Brubaker who went to Illinois 29-yard line.

The West Virginian eleven scored a touchdown early in the second period and the marines came back with two In he third, only to have the "Scarlet Hurricane" tie the score about the middle of fourth pawiod. Georgia secondaries too foxy to be outguessed. Tech ITses Passes. Tech stole its rivals' thunder at the outset, by completing two long passes, one for 14 yards and the other for 11, to pave the way for a dash through tackle by Warner Mizell, versatile halfback, for the first touchdown. Mizell, whose running, passing and kicking was an outstanding feature of the game, received the first pass from Durant and hurled the second one to Thomason, who made a fine running catch on Notre Dame's three-yard line.

It took only two plunges from there for the Tech star to tally. Tech clung grimly to this margin until the closing moments of the game, when Lumpkin sensational sophomore fullback, plucked one of Johnny Niemlec's passes out of the air and raced 28 yards to the Hoosier 3-yard mark. This time Randolph took the ball over and Mizell added the final point of the gams with his toe.

Striking the Invading ramblers of Knute Rockne before they had time to get their bearings, the Tech tornado whirled out in front in the opening period, successfully withstood the counter thrusts of the Hoosiera and emerged with a triumphant last period flourish. The final score was 13 to 0. It ended the six-year winning streak of Notre Dame and aroused some Georgians to a delirious demonstration as the south added another scalp to Its growing gridiron collection. The rugged, yellow-Jersied youths, coached by "Bill" Alexander, shook off the Hoosier jinx in as spectacular a struggle as Grant field has ever witnessed. Teoh won by getting the jump, striking quickly when it had the opportunity and then repulsing all of Notre Dame's threats, especially those of an arlal variety, with an alert, quick-charging defense.

Rockne unfolded a whole bagful of tricks in an effort to turn the tide, but the Hoosiers. still in the erratic stage of development, found the powerful Tech forwards too much for them or the keen-eyed IN DETROIT. tnvertty of Detroit Z7. Iyot e. HiKhUnd Turk II.
