Bob Brugge and Jerry Krall pos.M-ss.-d far too much speed for Northwestern as they 1 ran through and around the big Wildcat line to pile up six touch downs A 62 yard run by Earl Maves after he took a lateral pawn from center Fred Negus, who inter cepted a Purdue forward pass, provided Wisconsin with its winning margin in a 21 to 2tt triumph over the Boilermakers. Purdue put on a desperate fourth quarter rally which netted two touchdowns in a vain effort to win its first league game Chalmers (Bumps) Elliott. I whose running han been overshad owed all season by Bob Chappula, turned in his greatest game of the campaign as he paced Michigan to a 21 to 0 victory over Minnesota Elliott scored twice and the other Wolverine touchdown came on a pass from Gene Iterricote to Bob Mann. Taking "pick on Pittsburgh" Is a popular big nine pastime Indiana was the latest to hammer the hapless Panthers, winning 2<t to 6. Pitt previously had been beaten by Illinois and Purdue.

Republican Gains Likely In Congress Campaign Ended In Splatter Os Oratory N.-w York. Nov. I <VP» Re publican house and senate sain* .•■•■med Inevitable today us the general election campaign for control of the 80th congress ended in a burst of oratory The •■lection takes place tone r- ! row. Mid term shrinkage of administration congressional majorities is an almost Inviolable American political tradition. Party spokesmen naturally disagree on the election outcome Here is what they say: Chairman Robert E. Hannegan. Democratic national committee: "The Democratic party not only will be returned to its mapority status in both houses of congress but its membership will be Increased over the 79th congress ’’ Chairman Ii Carroll Reece, Republican national committee: "The congress to be elected Tuesday will be Republican.” The Democrats are handicapped in this campaign by the loss of Franklin D. Roosevelt, a spectacular four-time winner of the presidency. His successor. President Truman, did not participate in the campaign. Local Issues figured largely in the congressional campaigns, but the Republicans ao often centered their fire uh the Truman administration, putting so much pressure on shortages of food and commodities that Mr. Truman turned away from his hold the-llne price control [Mil icy. Foreign policy was not a major issue at the outset of the campaign, hut it created a cabinet crisis which brought the resignanation of secretary of commerce Henry A. Wallace. Wallace had publicly criticised administration foreign policy. Polls and survey* suggest that the house will go Republican this t'rne ami that the senate will be close either way. If so. this general election will end If. lean political years for the Republican party. The G. O. P. lost the house after the 1930 election and lost the senate and the White House In 1932. Democratic campaigners warned votens that loss of the house or senate would paralyze government. But few, If any, of them believe the administration can maintain its present congressional membership intact. The disputed question Is how many seats the G. O. P. will gain Except for the extraordinary Democratic triumph in 1934 midway in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first term--majority partiea uniformly have lost congressional seats in off year elections although not necessarily losing control of either bouse.

Nov. 4 (I P) The game of the year between Army and Notre Dame, college football** two undefeated titans, was shaping up today as a classic gueeslug contest with favoritism shifting to the fighting Irish off last weekend's performances. Notre Dame ehowed a startling weakness In the middli of the Uniat times and elipshod bail handling in the backfield but still waltzed over Navy, 28-0, Army, meanwhile, had the miseries for three periods as It finally < ante through with u 19 0 triumph over West Virginia It wasn’t the usually flawless cadet irueher. however, displaying a weakness at the guarde. heretofore noted lack of reserves and brittle blocking which shackled Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard. The psych dogiste explained (hat l>oth teams were looking over their rivals at hand toward their epic meeting In Yankee Stadium on Saturday. If so, Army was looking the highest. West Virginia showed. Just as did Duke, that a battling bunch of linesmen can give this Army club a headache.
