_ Points of Interest to the Boilermakers
: PROBABLY OF interest to Purdue's coaching staff is this personal report on Ohio State by Franklin Lewis of the Cleveland . Press: “The Bucks are a versatile team on offense. They are lighter _ than a standout Big Nine varsity should be. But they specialize “in trick plays, sneak reverses, bootlegger plays and they'll’ gamble © “Paul Brown hasn't a first-rate punter, but he has some terrifically hard running backs in Fekete, Sarringhaus and Horvath. He has my favorite picket man of last year, Bob Shaw, putting on a one-man show. The center of the line is strong, the tackles not so ; © “The team that beats Ohio State will hammer the Bucks to a ~ pulp at the tackles, then flip short passes. A whopping score might
be run up if a team is that good. No second-rate outfit has a chance
with Brown's club, though. His team is top-ho.”

varsity has played such splendid ball this fall despite the absence Tom Kuzma who returns to the lineup this week. I fear that the terrific achievement of stopping Minnesota took so much out of Illinois that Ray Eliot's lads may not be up to halting . Tom Farmer and Iowa at Iowa City.

Rough Writing
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. Oct. 14 (U. P.).~The Northwest Arkansas Times pondered editorially today whether sports writers should -have to hire bodyguards “to assure their constitutional rights of ‘freedom of the press’.” Still smarting from anointment of oil of cloves and show= ing a shaved head, Sports Editor Bob Wimberly said that 30 members of the Arkansas university football squad roughed him up last night for what he said about them. In his column Wimberly said the Arkansas-Baylor game Saturday was a contest to determine the cellar team in the Southwest conference race.
