YV. EDGAIC New York, N. Nov. 17. Out of the west came the red-Jerseyed hurricane of the University of Detroit this afternoon and whirled Ford ham's football machine into a badly twisted mass of ruins on tha placement goal kicked by Maurice Hughes from the 21-yard line early In the second period the eleven representing the University of Michigan qualified to beat Michigan State college in the Michigan bowl this afternoon.

The troupe of pigskin manlDulators that, thronch chalkllned turf of the Polo Grounds. Outplayed during the first period, the Titans began to gain momentum repeated defeats, earned the title of "Fighting Wolverines," went from the sublime to the ridiculous today and if they can get any consolation out of the meager margin over the Farmers nobody Is apt to malign them for It. In a season of flip flops the Maize and Blue, rising to the heights In the Illinois and Navy games, alumped to the depths on this occasion, and the most loyal of Michigan's supporters will agree that the varsity played one of the worst fonthnll imme in the second when the first of the drives goalward was launched, and trrasssfi on each succeeding thrust the Ford ham eleven was burled deeper, until the easterners finally wended their way to the dressing room tha victims of a 19 to 0 defeat. It was the fourteenth consecutive ihr-v ever thought the system in force at Ann Arbor could display to public scrutiny. Perhaps it might be construed as casting reflections on Michigan State to cite the varsity's poor playing, but there Is no getting around the racts as supplied on the slippery turf in the bowl.

Nobody could have reconciled the Michigan team with the one that blighted the championship hopes of Illinois and held the sturdy Navy eleven to a tie score. victory of the Titans, and credit for It must be given to Tom Connell, the speedy little captain of tha Wieman men naci one cnance 10 Dorais squad. It was Connell who did all the damage to Fordham In a scoring way, as he crossed the last chalk mark twice in the second period and again In the third, besides kicking once for the extra point. CARNEGIE TECH SWAMPS IRISH score, thst moment when Hughes was railed from the bench to kick the winning goal, and they succeeded then because the Inspired State eleven, equal In many ways to its opposition, made several mistakes in strategy, and missed the one chance it accepted to tie the count willi a goal from placement.

Coach to stop Brazil; Fordham 5 lari frequently, though that should not be regarded as sufficient alibi for the mediocre showing by the Maize and Blue that, at-times, was fairly outplayed. The fame team that was put to rout by the University of Detroit one trk ago actually kept Michigan In her own territory practically two whole periods and but for the fact that rain fell and made the ball difficult to handle, might have caused woe to the wearers of the blue with Its passing attack that, In the first few minutes of was caught napping almost every time Connell took the ball, and tha damage he did to Fordham in tha second period never was repaired.

17. (A. The unwritten law of Notre Dame's gridiron tradition that the Ramblers could not be beaten on their home field was broken for the first time in 23 years today by a mighty horde from the smoky environs of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Tech. Sweeping with tornadlc force, the Plaid eleven crushed Knute Rockne's fighting Notre Dame team 27 to 7, before 30.000 fans, the largest crowd ever to pack Cartler field. The overwhelming triumph kept the easterners In the exclusive circle of the nation's undefeated football machines.

Notre Dame seemed far from the team that upset the Army last week, but even If it had been It was back to the eight-yard line. Major Cavanaugh's hopes of bring, ing the easterners out of a slump and enabled Connell's mates to startle eastern critics on their first invasion of Gotham. As the shadows of evening descended over Coogan's bluff, the crowd, smaller by several thousand than was expected, was shouting the praises of this red jerseyed-squad that turned Fordham back at every turn and. but for a bad break in the third period and a barrage of penalties, would have Michigan's trouble was largely In 'allure to block, and, all except for I'ommerenlng, Truskowski and Bo- made Its conquest more decisive.

Titans Weak In First But this tradition was cast to the four winds, when tha Titans swung into action.
