PARTING SHOT: The Wildcats had bettor forget Montgomery 9:30 Wednesday night Isbell Leads Purdue to 13-7 nSouUNolN DI LONG DISTANCE TALK BY KIZER INSPIRES TEAM Indiana Ties Score, Then Then Falters on Defense Nebraska Shows Strongest of Year; Defeats By PAUL T. SMITH (United Prcaa Staff Correspondent) rjLOOMINGTON, Nov. Purdue's underdog Boilermakers came back from nowhere in the final moments of play today to drive over a touchdown and upset Indiana, 13 to 7, in the 40th annual historic "Old Oaken Bucket" meet- Ing between the two intra-state Big Ten rivals.

It wns sweet revenge for the Boilermakers who previously had won but a single Big Ten engagement during the season and had not doefatod the Hoosiers since 1833. Purdue was fired to emotional heights just before the start of the game by a long distance telephone call from their coach, Noble Kizer, who has not been able to direct the team all season because of illness. Kizer spoke from Albuquerque, and his message was broadcast to the team over a loud speaker. With the score tied, 7 to 7, the Boilermakers, led by Cecil Isbcll, launched a drive late In the fourth period from their own 41-yard line that was elinu-xed when Isbell smacked center for nine yards and the touchdown. He dragged most of the Indiana team across with him.

The drive, good for 59 yards, was featured by Brock's 16-yard run followed by a lateral from Cecil Isbell to Brown for 15 yards and a first down on the Hoosler nine- yard stripe. Isbell loat two yards, regained them on the next play and then charged through for the winning score. His placement was blocked but nobody cared. The teams labored under trying a conditions. Snow fell throughout most of the game and the temperature was far below freezing.

The 23,000 spectators huddled in blankets' and overcoats, attempted to keep warm by shouting themselves hoarse, jumping up and down and clapping their hands. Purdue opened the scoring midway in the first period on a 44- yard march. After making a first down on the Hoosler S2, Isbell dropped back and rifled a 30-yard pass to Zachary, an end, who made an almost impossible catch on the two-yard ribbon and fell over the goal line. Zachary doubled over and snagged the ball at his knees. Isboll's placement was good and the Boilermakers were off to a 7 to 0 lead.

Purdue charged back after tha klckoff to the Indiana 10 but here the Crimson held and a few minutes later was off on a 72-yarfl drive of its own that brought a touchdown and tied the score. Starting on the 18, Filchock tossed passes to Captain Kenderdlne and Petrick which worked the ball to the Purdue 40. Filchock passed to Davis on the 30 and then the quarterback picked up four, On the next piny he tossed a pass to Ken- derdlno which was good for the touchdown. The Hoosiers had made four consecutive first downs. Fowler's placement tied the score.

In the third period the Hooslera again opened up a passing attack and threatened to score but each time tho Inspired Boilermakers succeeded in turning back the thrusts. Cecil playing his last game as a Boilermaker, climaxed a glorious career with one of his most sparkling performances. He was in virtually every play. He passed, kicked and ran with the ball and was instrumental in stopping many Indiana offensive drlvco. The game's closeness was borne out by the statistics.

Indiana made 14 first downs and Purduo 12, The Hoosiers gained 332 yards from scrimmage, including 101 by passes, and the Boilermakers made 284. Puritun (13 (7) i Kemlcnllne I-.

SYNOICATI HAMMOND HIGH TO PLAY RILEY ON WEDNESDAY Conference Title at Stake On South Bend Gridiron RUN MICHIGAN Football Scores Second IRISH DEFEAT WILDCATS, 7-0 Sweeney Blocks Punt to Win for Notre Dame Fctrlrk ftlcllOCk Dai-la By KIRKSEY (United Press Correspondent; T7VANSTON, III, Nov. ili the third time this season Charles Alexander Sweeney, of Bloomlngton, 111., personally won a football game for Notre Dame as the fighting Irish triumphed over Northwestern, 7-0, in a tense defensive struggle on a frozen field. Sweeney, Notre Dame right end, bolted into the Northwestern backfield with 6 minutes left to play in the second period, and blocked an attempted end zone punt by Bernard Jefferson, Wildcats' negro halfback. The ball bounded off Sweeney's outstretched arms, spun around crazily and careened out to 2-yard line. There Sweeney, trailing the bal like a falcon, picked it up and took two steps over the goal line for the game's only touchdown which gave Notre Dame its 13th triumph in 16 games with its ancient foe.

That was the high spot of a game almost devoid of spectacular action. The crowd of 46,000, facing the chilly blasts from the north kept waiting for something to happen but as the game wore 01 they had to reconcile themselves to nothing better than severa stout-hearted goal line stands Northwestern in the second half. By winning today Notre Dame hung up its fifth triumph of the season--three 'of them 'personally won by Charles Sweeney, the hawk like right end with No. 47 on hi back. He tossed Navy back in the end zone to give the Irish a 9-7 victory over the Middies.

He blocked the try for point which enabled Notre Dame to nose out Minnesota. And today he contributed the game's winning play topped off by a smashing defensive game which kept Northwestern's attack bottled up after the first minute of the second period. Without Sweeney the Irish and Wildcats might have battled to a scoreless tie. Northwestern made only one threat, advancing 54-yards from its own 20-yard line in the first period. Don Heap fumbled a forward pass on Notre Dame's 26-yard line, and the ball was recovered by the omnipotent Swee- i Stage Rally; Crush Chicago 2 1-0 CHAMPAIGN, 111., Nov.

Zimmerman entered the game as a substitute lef halfback early in the third period and immediately rejuvenated the faltering Illinois offense.

On his first play Zimmerman flipped a lateral pass to Tony Mazieka who ran first' down on eight yards to a the Chicago one- yard line.

A blistering aerial attack that figured prominently in the Buckeye scoring produced the only thrills of the game for a near capacity crowd of 68,000. The Buckeyes scored a touchdown in each of the last three periods and added a safety to their score in the second quarter to smash a Michigan machine that had won its last four games. The game ended the season for both teams, giving Ohio State five victories and one defeat in western conference competition. Michigan had won three Big Ten games against throe losses.

Pnysically perfect and determined make the most of their first opportunity to win a conference title, he Wildcats are not over-confident if victory over Rilev not after learing yesterday what Coach Karl Juffine had to say about a Riley eleven that spotted Mishawaka 13 points in a decisive game Friday light and then came back to score touchdowns in the last quarter gam a 13-13 tie. Huffine Praises Kiley "Those Riley boys never know when they're whipped," said Huffine. "I think we may have a slightly stronger defense but I'm not sure our lighter backs can match that brilliant Riley quartet. They're bigger, faster and always seem to squirm for that extra yard or two." Hammond has scant information on the Montgomery prep machine but should have plenty by Tuesday when reports arrive, from Bill Peters, Alabama assistant coach and former Hammond Tech hero, who scouted Sidney Lanier in the game with Tuscaloosa Friday night.

In any event, there is no disposition on the part of the Hammond players or coaches to think much of Montgomery until the Riley game has been played. They don't want to miss fire in their first crack at a conference crown. Riley has shown a crackerjack offense all season, scoring in every game although beaten, 12 to 7 by South Bend Washington, and 18-14 by powerful Toledo Scott. Outstanding in the Riley record, however, is a 22-7 triumph over South Bend Central, a game in which the Riley eleven capitalized on Central mistakes to score three touchdowns and a placekick. Mishawaka scored two touchdowns and kicked one goal in the first period and appeared well on the way to a smashing upset when the fighting Riley Wildcats got a brilliant offense under way.

They looked like a beaten team going into the fourth period but generated enough scoring punch to tie the count at 13 all.

20. laid un- isputed claim to the Big Ten hampionship for the first time ince 1934 today by defeating Wis- onsin, 13 to 6, before a shivering Dads' Day crowd of 45,000. Tha Golden Gophers, although ecognized national champions in 35 and '36, were not the only un- leaten, untied aggregation in the western conference these years. This year, they fell before Nebraska early in the season, Notre Dame later, but marched through the Big Ten competition without a oss, running into their toughest opposition in the hard-fighting Wisconsin team today. Speedy Howard Weiss was the snark for the Wisconsin drive that nvarly scored in the first quarter then faded in the second when Weiss was taken from the game with minor injuries.

Matheny Coach Bernie Bierman of Minnesota jerked forgotten Bill Matheny from the bench in the second quarter and Matheny raced 13 yards around the Wisconsin right end for the first touchdown. Bell converted. Weiss came back fcr Wisconsin in the third quarter and the Wisconsin battlers marched him 90 yards for the Wisconsin score with Eckle, who almost never misses, missing the point after touchdown. A powerful northwest wind, important factor in kicks and passes, spoiled Eckle's effort, and. coupled with a temperature of IS above, provided an excuse for the many fumbles, particularly by Minnesota.

Buhler, Moore and Van Every, all recognized Minnesota stars, contributed to the first Gopher touchdown march. They bogged down on the 13 yard line. Then Matheny took the ball on a faked pass play and went over, barely eluding a tackier the last two yards. Shortly after the next kickoff. little Rudy Gmitro grabbed a fumble, raced 27 yards over the goal for Minnesota, but the play was called back.

Wisconsin Marches Malesevich began the Wisconsin touchdown march after the half with a kickoff runback of 15 yards; Weiss made 12 more and a pass put the ball on the Minnesota 49. A Gopher penalty gave Wisconsin the ball on the 25. Weiss spun and ran end to Minnesota's 11, Schmitz made 7 more and Weiss put it over for the Badgers' only score. The last quarter opened with the ball in Minnesota territory, but Christiansen plowed through 13 yards to the Wisconsin 47 yard a pass, Van Every to King, gai'ieci 11. Van Every on successive plays moved the ball to the Wisconsin 3-yard line and Christiansen bowed the Badger line at the middle of the last score, Faust missing the kick.

The Gophers had almost completed another touchdown drive when the game ended with the ball in Minnesota's possession on the Wisconsin 14-yard line. Jula Papais, star left halfback Stanford, 13 to 0. who has played only two minutes since the Whiting game on October 29 is again in perfect condition. Papais played briefly against Tech a.id sparked an offense that saw the Wildcats march 80 yards in five plays for their third touchdown. T5ill Luberda, hard blocking full- and defensive ace, is also fully recovered from bruised legs which bothered him earlier in the season.

They may work out at School Field, scene of the game, that afternoon and then retire to hotel rooms for a rest before the game staits at 7:30 Run Special Trains Hundreds of Hammond fans--the throng may reach if weather conditions are right- will trail the Western Division champions to South Bend via auto and South Shore trains.

The triumph, accomplished before a crowd of 58,000 who watched the second half in a snowstorm, wa? Harvard's first win over Yale since 1933 and gave the Crimson its first Big Three title in 22 years. Sheer running power, supplemented by a heads-up aerial attack and an iron-clad defense against last-minute Yale passes, rocketed Harvard to victory in this 56th lenewal of a 61-ycar-oid rivalry.

Don Daughters and Frank Foley scored Harvard's touchdowns, but sophomore Tobby MacDonald stole the show with his brilliant running. Captain Clint Frank produced Yale's only score and teamed with Bud Humphrey in a do-or-die fort to pitch the tying touchdown Frank closed his career spectacularly, but was denied the triumph that would have given the Elu their first unbeaten team since 1924. Statistically, Harvard had an edge every department excep'- punting, Dave Colwell's mighty boots averaging 41 yards--13 yard better than MacDonald's.
