Plane Carrying j Purdue Gridders Forced To Land LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—Purdue athletic director Guy (Red) Mackey said today the emergency landing erf a chartered DC-3 with the entire Boilermaker first-string football team aboard would not curtail use erf planes for travel. The plane was forced down near Madison, Wis., Saturday night after the Boilermakers had whipped top-ranked Minnesota at Minneapolis, Minn., 23-14. The plane was one of„ three in the Purdue flight party on its way back to the campus here. “The landing was just a precautionary measure,” Mackey said. “The Purdue Aeronautics Co. has a fine group of fliers and they don’t take any chances.” Pilot Harold Tietjen of Lafayette said the plane developed engine trouble about 50 miles south of Madison. Tietjen said he stopped one engine in order to make the landing. Coach Jack MdlLenkopf praised the smoothness of the landing. “You couldn't have asked for a better landing, even with two engines,” he said. He said, however, it occurred to him that 16 members erf the California Polytechnich football team and six other persons were killed in a plane crash near Toledo, Ohio, two weeks ago. The plane -was chartered from Purdue Aeronautics, which is affiliated with the university. The’ company flies several other Big Ten teams for athletic events, including the University of Wisconsin. Although most of the passengers were excited by the landing as they fastened their seat belts and waited to touch the ground, halfback Jim Tiller slept through the entire incident. The passengers had to wait nearly three hours for another plane to fly them on to here. Pro Basketball LEAGUE STANDINGS Eastern Division W L Pet.

Leading Prep Teams To Start Play This Week INDIANAPOLIS Central, the team that almost | made it last r year, and Kokomo, tabbed as on£ of the powerhouses ! this year, open their Indiana high i school basketball campaigns this week. Muncie’s Bearcats, their hopes for a history-making fifth state tourney crown dashed by East Chicago Washington in the title game last March, sport a new look when they open at home against Anderson Madison Heights Friday. 1 Coach John LongfeUow has only Mel Jolly left from the classy crew that went through the 1959-60 season without a scratch. Gone are such stalwarts as Ron Bonham, John Darmpier and 6-7 Jim Davis. But Muncie, a perennial prep hardwood power, may not be a pushover, after all. Longfellow figures he has better team play. Kokomo, on the other hand, is loaded with experience. Coach Joe Platt has four starters back. The only loss is 6-8 Bob Ferguson, who dropped out of school. The Wildcats open against Tipton, also Friday. Bloomington and Fort Wayne Central, two other tourney finalists, start the long grind this week also. Bloomington, 19-1 during the last regular season, lost three fine starters in Midkey Reeves, Dickie Sparks and Ron Brinegar. The Panthers open against neighbor University Saturday. Fort Wayne Central, perhaps I again the toughest outfit in the Summit City, lost three of its first six competitors, but veteran Herb Banet is deep in talent, as Anderson may find out Friday. Jasper’s defending Southern Conference champs, only team to beat Bloomington last season, opens against Springs Valley I Tuesday and has a league date at Bedford Friday. Elwood and Peru, co-champs in the Central Conference, open on the road with non-loop games Friday—Elwood at Sheridan and Peru at Auburn. East Chicago Washington's defending state champs get another week to tune up their horses, as will the Evansville, Terre Haute and Indianapolis elite. Other better games include Greensburg at Madison Tuesday, and Friday it’s Mishawaka at> Plymouth, North Vernon at. Columbus, Lafayette at Lebanon, Flora at Frankfort, Madison at -Batesville, Rockiport at Huntingburg. South Bend Riley at Gary Froebei. Attractions Saturday include Rushville at Anderson. Howie Johnson Wins Mexican Open Title MEXICO CITY (UPD—Howie Johnson. 35-year-old professional from ’ Coghill, 111., captured the SIO,OOO Mexican National Open Sunday with a 15-under-par 273 against stiff international competition from other golfers from the United States, Canada, South America and Europe.

Purdue Upsets Gophers, lowa Beats Buckeyes CHICAGO (UPI) — lowa Coach Forest Evashevski today was ela(ed over the Haiwkeyes 35-12 trouncing of Ohio State and said it was the best game his squad has played all year. ' The victory clinched for lowa a share of the Big Ten crown. Evashevski said the win “closely panaUeled” the Hawks 1956 victory which gave them the Big Ten title that year. “Saturday’s victory could be Just as big,” he said. "We could take outright possession if Minnesota loses to Wisconsin next week.” Ohio Coach Woody Hayes praised his squad but said "lowa just played better football. All the lowa backs ran well.” Os Evashevski, Hayes said: “His teams are never anything but good.’.’ Minnesota mentor Murray Warmath wasn’t making any excuses about the Gophers’ loss to Purdue. But he took Issue with the officiating “I don’t want to chastise officials,” he said. “But everybody makes mistakes and some mistakes were made Saturday.” Jack Mollenkopf, Purdue coach, credited "magnificent” line play for the victory over Minnesota. “We made no mistakes Saturday,” he said, "Tackle Jerry Beatoout played magnificently.” Added Mollenkopf: "I have said aU, along that we have been playing good ball. We have just not ■been getting the breaks.” Indiana Coach Phil Dickens was not disturbed by the Hoosiers' loss to Michigan. “We're looking better," he said. “They scrapped all the way. It was two fumbles that hurt us.” Michigan Coach Bump Elliott said: “Sure fumbles hurt Indiana but our defense in the second half was the answer. We held them in the tough spots.!’ Michigan State’s Duffy Daugherty was obviously pleased with his squad's win over Northwestern. "I’m sure it was the best third quarter we’ve had all year. We just went out and blocked ana ran.” Ara Parseghian pointed to the extra point column for Northwestern's defeat. ‘Tim sure if Mike Stock had made any one of his three missed points after touchdown place kicks | Northwestern would have won,” Parseghian said. “We played good»football, but we had a lapse in the third j period. I don’t know what happened.” I "Illinois took advantage of our opponents’ mistakes better than in any game this season,” coach Pete Elliott said of the Illini triumph over Wisconsin. "When we got the ball down there we took it in for a score.” “We made too many mistakes,” was Wisconsin’s Milt Bruhn’s answer. “We threw too many intercepted passes and dropped too many punts.” Notre Dame’s Coach Joe Kuharich blamed some “big plays” for the Irish loss to Miami. “They got a couple of long runs to set up their touchdowns. They got about three big plays,” Kuhatcich said. "But we had to do it the hard way.” Four Major Teams Are Still Unbeaten NEW YORK (UPD—Only Missouri, Yale, New Mexico State and Utah State are among the nation’s major colleges left today on a list of 21 schools with perfect football records.

Late Gambles Pay Off For Pro Leaders By NORMAN MILLER United Press International The “old pro” quarterbacks gambled and won. And that’s why the Baltimore Colts, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants have an edge today in the race for the National Football League championship. Johnny Unitas of the Colts, Norm Van Brocklin of the Eagles and “Good Old Charlie” Conerly of the Giants took a chance that paid Off in victory, when failure would have meant a serious setback in the pressure-packed battle for the pro title. Unitas passed up a chance for a field goal, and on fourth down with 14 yards to go he threw a 39-yard touchdown, pass to Lenny Mr ore with 42 seconds left on the clock to give Baltimore a 24-20 victory over the Chicago Bears. Seventh Try Good Van Brocklin, frustrated by six straight incomplete passes, faded back for a seventh try on fourth down with 8 to go and connected on a 28-yard touchdown toss to Bobby Walston in the final period as the Eagles rallied for a 19-13 victory over the Washington Redskins. And .Conerly, who is 39, slow of foot and risks life and limb every time he carries the ball, broke loose for runs of 12 and 16 yards to set up Pat Summerall’s 37-yard field goal which gave the Giants a 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Summerall’s kSicfc was made with 30 seconds left to play. As a result, the Colts retained first place in the Western Division of the NFL with a 6-2 record. The Green Bay Packers (5-2) stayed close behind by crushing the Dallas Cowboys, 41-7. This was the winless Cowboys’ eighth defeat. Sixth In Row The Eagles’ triurrfph was their sixth in a row since dropping the season-opener and preserved their slim edge over the Giants (5-1-1). The Cleveland Browns (5-2) remained in the running by surviv-
