Bill Murakowski In Final Game Saturday LAFAYETTE, Ind. (INS) — One of the brightest Purdue football careers of the post World War II era ends this Saturday when Bill Murakowski plays his final Boilermaker game against IU. Chances that the former East Chicago Washington high school All-American will recover from his chest injury sufficiently to get into the Old Oaken Bucket battle heightened today and with it came an increase in Purdue’s hopes for victory. Although he has had to take subheads while the streamers went to the passing antics of teammate Leonard Dawson, a check of the statistics shows what a workhorse Big Bill really is. He has carried the ball 125 times in Purdue's 338 scrimmage plays. He has gained 493 of Purdue's 1,146 yards gained from scrimmage. And he has a 3.96 per try average compared to a team mark of 3.39. For the second straight year, he also is leading in the scoring with 18 points on three touchdowns. Halfbacks Jim Whitmer with 244 yards in 50 carries and Jim Peters with 165 yards in 40 carries have spread the line for the rhino charges of Murakowski, but those who have seen him know that as often as not he has made holes where none existed. And those who have watched Purdue through the season also have seen tremendous offensive blocking and tine defensive linebacking by the brother of Northwestern all-American Art MuraI kowski. Although Bill is destined to close his collegiate career Saturday, with Purdue well out of Bowl contention, scouts insist this is only the beginning of the football wars with pro teams dying for the services of hard running fullbacks of Bill's caliber. Bob Baker Wins By Unpopular Decision / FORT WAYNE, Ind. (INS/ — Heavyweight Bob Baker of Pittsburgh won an unpopular 10-round unanimous decision over Sgt. J. P. Reed of San Francisco Tuesday night at Fort Wayne. Fans booed the decision for Baker who was supposed to have used Reed as a warmup for his Dec. 7 bout with Nino Valdes. Instead, Reed proved a tough customer who caught the Pennsylvanian with a left hook at the end of the fourth and troubled him throughout the match. South Africa Giant Is Held To Draw LONDON (INS) — Ewart Potgieter, 7-foot-2 giant from South Africa, may journey to the United States soon to see if there is gny heavyweight who can beat him. The 325%-pound skyscraper, meeting the first big test of a boxing career he hopes will lead to the world championship, fought to a ten-round draw Tuesday night in London with 6-foot-5 James J. Parker of Patterson, N. J. Gonzales Signs To Play Tony Trabert LOS ANGELE?
