POR’ By Eddie Ash

: MEMBERS ‘of the Hoosier Big Three today were

ick on the football beam and Monday morning quartercks were stumped for something to cuss and discuss in the matter of second-guessing. . «+ It was a sweep for Purdue, Notre Dame ‘and Indiana Saturday, all op: : posing major foes. The previous week it was a sweep for opponents and Hoosier prestige hit a new low but that “triple” scored Saturday restored lot. of confidence in the camps of the Boilermakers, Irish and Crimson. Purdue's 7-6 victory over highly-regarded Northwestern shoved the experts off the limb and shared national upset honors with Tilinois’ 20-13 victory over Minnesota's Golden Gophers. . . . Elmer Burnhain, Purdue’s new coach, really had his team ‘*‘up” for the ildcats after losing a close one to Fordham and dropping his

. second start to Vanderbilt by a decisive score.

The Boilermakers gave no thought to the fact they were. underdogs, tallied a first-period touchdown and convertéd, and then

‘ fought off Northwestern surges until the last quarter when the Wildcats scored a touchdown after a 76-yard march.

"But the Purdue line wasn’t through pestering the Wildcats and on

the Northwestern kick for point Barry French, tackle, broke through

and blocked the boot. . A few moments later the game was over

‘and the jubilant Boilermakers rushed to their coach, picked him up and left the field carrying him on their shoulders. ;

Purdue Scoring Drive Covers 77 Yards “ PURDUE'S TOUCHDOWN drive started when Kenny Smeck,

Indianapolis, gathered in a Northwestern punt and ran it back eight yards to his own 23. . . .

John Andretich plunged 13 yards and then Smock lost 6 yards. . . . Two offsides against the Wildcats gave Burnham's team a first dqwn on its own 46. . The Boilermakers hammered the line and ‘Smock and Andretich soon had the ball on the Northwestern 28. . . . The Purdue forwards. put the Wildcat forwards back on their heels. _ Andretich reeled off 13 yards through a wide, hole opened by his forwards and on the next play tossed a forward to Fred Smerke, who reached the Northwestern 6. .. . After three plunges failed to net a touchdown, Bob Hajzyk Jugged the leather around his own left end and scored. . The sustained drive covered 77 yards. Henry Stram, Purdue's sophomore toe artist, added the extra point and it turned out to be the “winning run.”

Like Old Times On Irish Campus

WITH Head Coach Frank Leahy ill in St. Mary's hospital,

‘Rochester, Minn., the Notre Dame boys cheered him up by rolling

over Stanford, 27 ta 0, ‘on the strength of Angelo Bertilli's Dead-

Eye Dick forward passing. Bertilli- had his targets spotted perfectly and the Irish crashed

: through with their first victory after a‘ tie and one defeat.’

. Angelo completed 14 passes in 20 attempts, four of Which went’ Tor touchdowns to as many different receivers. Scorers were Bob Dove, Paul Limont, George Murphy and Bob . Stanford's line was rugged and the Irish didn’t

accomplish teks in rushing. . . . Bertilli took care of the situation

by amassing 233 yards in the air to double the gains on the ground. "es + He also kicked three of the four points after touchdown. ~

” » ” ” ” 8 THE IRISH only fumbled once, which helped, while Stanford fumbled six times. . . . ‘Notre Dame turned it on for two touchdowns in the second period after a scoreless opener. «+, And in the third quarter the home boys put over a second pair of touchdowns. . There was no scoring in the last period. . . . It was a fine comeback and it was like old times on the Notre Dame campus. Ed McKeever, assistant coach, was in charge of the Irish squad in

: the enforced absence of Frank Leahy.

Alert Hoosiers Score Twice On Huskers

INDIANA FORWARDS were equal to the task at Nebraska and checked Cornhusker threats. . ...Billy Hillenbrand performed bril-:

liantly and scored one of the Hoosiers’ two touchdowns on a 16-yard

dash around his right end in the second period. A Nebraska fumble recovered by Indiana's Pete Pihos, right end, get up the Hillenbrand marker and in the fourth period the alert Hoosiers pounced on another Nebraska fumble and Hugh McKinnis, fullback, tore off 16 yards and then plunged over from the oneyard line. . . . The fumble was recovered by John Bochnicka, Indiana guard. Lou Saban, Hoosier quarterback, missed both attempts for extra point. ; # 8 = » . = = THIS WEEK offers no bed of roses for Purdue, Notre Dame and Indiana. . . . The Boilermakers go to Ohio State to meet the unde-

feated Bucks, the Irish are at home against the undefeated Iowa

Cadets, and Indiana travels east to tackle unpredictable Pitt.

In other games involving Midwest teams, the Iowa naval cadets came from behind to beat Michigan, 26 to 15, Ohio State trimmed Southern California, 28 to 12, Wisconsin downed Missouri, 17 to 9, I beat Nebraska, 12 to 0, Iowa won easily from Camp Grant, 33 to 16, Great Lakes edged Pittsburgh, 7 to 6, and Notre Dame smothered Stanford, 27 to 0. Illinois’ triumph ‘was well-de-served and a tribute to the soundness and ability of its new coach, Ray Eliot. Eliot took advantage of two early season games with minor foes to bring his team to a peak for Minnesota and in the clutch. his underrated, but alert eleven produced. Two of Illinois’ touchdowns were scored by guard Alex Agase. One of his markers came. when he “stole” the ball from Bill Daley and raced 25 yards and the other was made as he fell on a misdirected pass from center back of the goal line. Illinois third touchdown was made by Don Griffin from the 4-yard line.

Cadets Rally

Minnesota contributed to its downfall by fumbling nine times. The Gophers now have. been beaten on successive week-ends by the Iowa cadets and Illinois. Only once before in the last 11 seasons has Minnesota lost two in a row. In the other conference encounter, Purdue came back after losses to Fordham and Vanderbilt to beat Northwestern by the margin of a point after touchdown. The Boilermakers scored in the first quarter and then protected the slim margin through the final three periods. Northwestern tallied in the fourth quarter but Al Pick, hero of the. Wildcats’ victory a week ago over Texas, missed the attempted conversion. Bernie Bierman's great Iowa cadet teams put on a great rally to beat Michigan. Behind, 14 to 0, in the second period, the Seahawks tallied two touchdowns just before the first half ended and added another pair in the fourth quarter to gain its fourth straight victory. Ohio State and Notre Dame gave the Mid-west a sweep of inter-sec-|tional play against Pacific Coast conference outfits by downing Southern California and Stanford.

‘Big Three’ Hit Stride

from the upset demon, Hoosier “Big Three” teams thought they finally had hit their stride after spending

across-the-board defeats. Biggest surprise and greatest joy to Hoosiers was Purdue’s unexpected’ trouncing of Northwestern in a lastminute thriller battle. Kick Smothered The lowly Boilermakers invaded the touted Northwestern's lair tagged as definite underdogs, but emerged with a 7-6 victory in their first conference tilt. Purdue fought like the World Series Cardinals, with Kenny Smock, John Andretich and Bob Hajzyk leading the attack, Fred Smerke catching the passes, and Frank Ruggieri and Dick Barwegen shining in the line. Andretich’s 23-yard fling to Smerke paved the way for Hajzyk's touchdown. Then “Hurrying Henry” Stram of Gary used his educated toe to boot the winning conversion. A last minute Northwestern drive sparked by Ofto Graham gained the Wilcat touchdown, but the kick was smothered. Bo McMillin’s Hoosiers whipped the Big Six Nebraska ' Cornhuskers, as Bill Hillenbrand raced 16 yards to the opening marker, and Hugh McKinnis ran the ball to paydirt in four straight plays during the closing five minutes. No Scoring Punch However, the I. U. machine showed lack of the necessary scoring punch to wage a successful season. They outclassed the Huskers on first downs, 22 to three, but were unable to make their gains register on the score board. The Hoosiers mixed passes and ground plays to threaten continuously, at times being stopped by inches. Angelo Bertelli, masterful and accurate without the weighty leadership duties. which Coach Frank Leahy shifted from his shoulders last week, became his old sophomore boy-wonder self as he pitched four touchdown passes to spark Notre Dame to a 27-0 victory over

Standford.

The Giants, winners of two out of three games, play the Bears at Chicago next Sunday while the Packers, who finished last season in a tie with the current champions for western division honors, play the Halas hot-shots on Nov. 15.

Green Bay handed the Lions their fourth straight defeat, 38-7, before 19,500 at Milwaukee yesterday, scoring five touchdowns and a field goal while holding Detroit to a single score. The Bears rolled up the second highest score of the season and remained undefeated in three starts by trampling the Cardinals, 41-14, before 38,500 fans at Chicago. The Bears scored in every period but the third and sewed up the game with three touchdowns in the opening quarter. Ray McLean ran a punt back 89 yards for the first score. Hampton Pool raced over from the 20 for the second and Clyde Turner intercepted a Cardinal pass on their own 22 to gallop across for the third. McLain and Gary Famiglietti tallied six points’ each for the Bears in the next period and Pool took a pass on his own 20 and went the rest of the way to score' the final touchdown for the Bears in the final period. Credit for the upset of the day went to the Pittsburgh Steelers, who threw up an almost perfect defense to blank the Dodgers before 17,489 at Brooklyn. Bill Dudley scored the only touchdown in the second period on an off-tackle smash from the eight after inaugurating the the drive from Pittsburgh’s 38 with a 20-yard break through center. Brooklyn was unable to move beyond the Pittsburgh 38-yard line.

Redskins Lead in East

The Redskins took over the Eastern division lead by trouncing the Cleveland Rams, 33-14, at Washington before 33,250 fans. A blocked kick gave the Redskins, who now have won three of four, their first touchdown in the opening period, and a short pass from Sammy Baugh to Dick Todd on the seven clicked for the second in the next period. Baugh and Andy Farkas paced Washington to two touchdowns, a safety and a field goal, to sew up the game in the third. Parker Hall tossed two touchdown passes in the final quarter for both Cleveland scores. The Giants swamped the Philadelphia Eagles, 3%-17, before 28,264 at New York.
