Record Crowd To See Purdue, Indiana Clash Indianapolis, Nov. 21 —(UP) — Purdue’s Boilermakers today were a two-touchdown favorite to beat Indiana in the traditional game of the two schools and to return the “old oaken bucket” to the Lafayette campus. Some 35,000 fans, largest crowd ever to have piled into Memorial stadium, will be on Hand in Bloomington tomorrow when the two Hossier Big Nine conference teams clash. It will be the 50th game of their rivalry. In total games played, Purdue holds a 25-19 edge. Five games ended deadlocked. But the Hoosiers have lost only once in the last seven years, and that was a 7-0 decision in 1943. Purdue has everything to gain. Last year, an injury-ridden Purdue eleven battled the Hoosiers on even terms through a first half but had to give way to the passing i of Ben Raimondi and company. That score was 34-20 for Indiana. But the Boilermakers, rejuvenat-I ed from last season’s many set-! backs, and under the direction of Stu Holcomb, compiled a respect-, able record this fall. They toppled | defending Big Nine champ Illinois | and also white-washed a highly | regarded lowa club. Indiana, on the other side, had ' its ups and downs all season.: While the Hoosiers looked only, fair against Big Nine competition, | they stacked up well against inter-I sectional rivals. Only last week I they rolled over Marquette, 48-6,1 for their most lop-sided victory of the campaign. Tomorrow’s battle, w'eather permitting, was expected to be an aerial contest between Bob De-

Brechler, director of athletics, unanimously recommend to president Virgil M. Hancher that in the best interest of the state university of lowa and the athletic program of the university, the resignation of Dr. Anderson be not accepted.” Hancher was notified by phone in New York and said that he “accepted the board’s recommendation and will abide by it.” Anderson had resigned orally to Hancher last Saturday, shortly before his team upset Minnesota 13 to 7 in lowa’s final game of the season.
