Head Football Coach,

over Purdue behind us.

a real thriller:

9-to-7 lead in the ‘third period Saturday, It looked like another. storybook affair. However, I have never been more proud of our players than I was when 1 2 : looked at their faces as Purdue scored the touchdown which put it into the lead. Every eye 12 looked into told fg me that such a score meant little, and . Notre Dame was going « to win, Our team played its best game of the year as our linemen blocked in a marner which instilled confidence in the running backs. The game was won on the ground, with good blocking and tackling playing the major role. as five men figured in the scoring ' for Notre Dame.

AS ALWAYS, Purdue was ready ' Tor this game. We realize that Stu Holcomb’s team ‘was operating with their number one running backfield on the shelf. Even so we thought they were a very fine football team, and feel mighty fortunate to have defeated them. The field goal kicked by Purdue’s Jim Reichert was something to see. He was standing very close to- our position onthe bench as “"he kicked the ball, and as his toe ~met the ball you knew it was good. His every move was just as the instructions read, and the ball traveled over 50 yards and split the uprights for three points.

OUR FACE is the reddest over the" selection of Cornell to beat Princeton in the upset of the | week. we may have been on the wrong {track on Friday when I heard that Lou Little was quoted as saying that Princeton's Charlie Caldwell was doing even a better coaching job this fall than he did last year. We Iboked at this game on a comparative score basis, and Navy played to a tie. Princeton had a tough time with Navy Cornell had little difficulty w Yale. ” These things plus the fact that it is easy to get a team up for a game with an undefeated eleven caused us to favor Cornell.

My sincere congratulations go to Charlie Caldwell and his wonderful team. The Tigers are among. the nation's very best.

Frank Stranahan Wins

Mexico City Amateur MEXICO CITY, Oct. 29 (UP)— Mexico City golf fans still talked today of what might have been if U. 8. amateur champion Billy Maxwell, hadn't been doublecrossed by his putter, The 22-yéar-old Maxwell lost a 3-and-2 match to Toledo's strappng Frank Stranahan yesterday.

Stranahan recovered miraculously when in trouble, was accurate with

State college star in the 36-hole finals.

Stranahan shot a two-under par 34-36--70 on the morning 18, and Maxwell ran three over with 3738—T5. The young U. 8. champion spofled his card by missing a one-foot putt to bogie the third hole, and a three-footer to bogie the 13th. He went into a trap on the long, level 18th to lose the other stroke,
