Spartans Face Another Tough Foe In lllini By UNITED PRESS Michigan State, victim of the Big Ten’s biggest upset and facing another rugged foe in Illinois this weekend, settled down to a diet of all work and no play in practice sessions. Coach Duffy Daugherty said “there will be no fun in practice this week” for the Spartans in preparation for their homecoming battle. The squad worked for two hours Monday on ground and pass defenses and heard scouts report the lllini “were even tougher than they looked in upsetting Minnesota." Illinois was strengthened by the reutrn of guard Bill Burrell, who missed the Minnesota game with a sprained ankle. End Rich Kreitling, who suffered a kidney injury, is expected to be ready for action by Saturday. Purdue got little chance to celebrate its victory as Coach Jack Mollenkopf sent the Boilermakers through extended drills in preparation for Saturday’s game with Miami of Ohio. Five players were sidelined, including tackles Nick Mumley and Ed Dwyer, guard John Jardine and quarterback Bob Spoo with injuries, and fullback Bob Jarus with the flu. Another upset victim, Minnesota, got additional bad news from the infirmary Monday. Tackle Frank Youso was hospitalied with bronchitis and an infected tooth, and No. 2 quarterback Dick Larson was considered lost for this week- s end's game with injuries. Michigan, which collides with the Gophers Saturday in the Little Brown Jug game, also had injury problems. Fullback John Herrnstein still was bothered by a sprained instep and will miss the game. Unbeaten lowa began work on defensing the plays of its Saturday foe. Northwestern. Coach Forest Evashevski sent the first two teams through a light workout, but the reserves held an intra-squad scrimmage running Wildcat plays. Northwestern expects to be at near full strength for its homecoming, with tackle Gene Gossage recovered from a shoulder Injury and guard Chuck Jeresa recovered from the , flu. Wisconsin, seeking to knock Ohio State frdth the ranks of the conference unbeaten, ran through one of its roughest scrimmage sessions of the season Monday. Badger Captain Bill Gehler and Jim Heineke, both injured, did not take part in the workout. Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes warned*'his team is in its “pest shape Os (he year,” and said he expects a “real football game” from Wisconsin this weekend. Indiana took it easy Monday, spending most of the session listening to a scouting report on Villanova and watching movies of its game against Ohio State. Notre Dame began preparing for its encounter with Pittsburgh, but ankle injuries continued to bother senior center Ed Sullivan and senior left half Aubrey Lewis.

Shortly after the deposition was entered as evidence, defense attorney Charles Symmes filed a motion for a mistrial with Judge Walter Pritchard on grounds that two newsmen covering the trial were seen talking with one or two jurors outside the courtroom. Overrules Mistrial Bid Pritchard overruled the motion after hearing the jurors and the newsmen involved explain that the jurors started a conversation by asking the newsmen about a camera with which a press photographer had been taking pictures in the courtroom. / The newsmen were Bernard Wynn of the Indiaanpolis Star and Max Friedersdorf of the Indianapolis News. Both said they were stopped by the jurors and that they walked on after answering a question about the camera. Symmes claimed the fact they talked with the jurors was "prejudicial in and of itself,” especially since Friedersdorf has been mentioned as a possible state’s witness to explain an intej-yiew he had with Smith. , B But Pritchard said the “reporters didn’t start the conversation at all.” Mrs. Peak’s deposition also told of her and Robert going to a branch bank, opening an account, depositing most of the $25,800 check and later returning to the bank and giving Robert a check for $19,800.
