The Purdue victory, its second of the season, snapred Notre string ot games without defeat at 13 and Purdue's score fell only one poir.t of eaualing its points -in the last victory over the Irish, a 28-14 decision in J950, whicli broke a Notre Dame string of 39 games without a loss.

He passed to John Kerr for eiirht yards and a touchdown in the first four minutes. Two minutes later he connected to Brock for 41 yards and another score. Then he fraVe up the quarter-backing duties to Froncie Gut-man and Stan Eaton.

But when he returned in the second half, his first throw covered 73 yards to Lamar Lundy for a tie-breaking, tally and for insurance he made a screen pass to Bill Murakowski good for 34 yards and another touchdown. Dawson, though he played only half the game, had exceptional accuracy with his passes, but he had the benefit of good receivers, too. In all. he gained 213 yards on seven completions in 11 efforts, and Kerr Brock and Lundy, the latter a six-foot seven-inch bean pole, speared the ball despite the Irish defense. Dawson, in addition, converted after the first three Boilermaker touchdowns and made all the Purdue kickoffs.

His throwing today cave him a record of eight touchdown passes in two games as he connected for four against Missouri last week in the 31-0 Boilermaker win. BREAK HLLPS IRISH The defeat, the first tor new Coach Terry Brennan of Notre Dame after an opening win over Texas, could be charged partially to Irish errors. Don Schaefer's fumble preceded Purdue's first score, and a poor punt by Ralph Guglielmi went out of bounds on the Notre Dame 41 to set up the second. An interception by Dawson of Guglielmi's pass in the first period nearly set up another Purdue tally, but Murakowski fumbled as he was crossing the goal line to lose the score. A break and an inspired dash accounted for Notre Dame's first points.

As Brock was hack to punt from his own 25, Don Fife centered the ball over his head into the end zone and he was nailed for a safety. Then Paul Hnrnung returned Purdue's free kick fil yeards to the second, and Nick Raich plunged over. Hornting's conversion was wirie, and though iuglielmi sparked the Irish 91 downfield tu score in 16 plays to open the second half.

BY DICK FORBES University of Cincinnati's touchdown machinery operated like a fine-jeweled watch despite heat, high humidity and ferocious opposition last night to grind under Tulsa's Golden Hurricane, 40-7, before at Nippert Stadium.

It km the third victory of the season for the rugged Bear-rats, who broke a hool record by winning their 11th straight jame over a two-season span. The victory also tied Cincinnati with Oklahoma for the longest ronserutive major college winning streaks. Utilizing a rugged ground game with a vastly improved passing attack that frequently saw Bearcat receivers completely in the clear, Cincinnati scored in every quarter. UC's defense stopped Tulsa's Split-T attack at every turn, except once in the fourth quarter when the Hurricanes cashed in on an 80-yard march for their lone score. Bearcat end Fred Maccioll was hurt in a first quarter touchdown drive and suffered a concussion.

He was taken to Christ Hospital. Altogether, the Rrirrah ground out 486 vards to Tulsa's 173, while the IC line led by Have Faulkner, Marv Merritt, Bear Campbell and Gene Mr-C'ann played brilliant football. The Bearcats got a touchdown the first time they gained possession, following a Tulsa punt which Murphy returned to his 32-yard line. A five-yard penalty against the Hurricane put the ball on the 37, and on the first play Dick Tardlni slid over right tackle, momentarily bumped because of the stiffling humidity, saw the Bearcats make it 19-0 on a touchdown with just over a minute to play. Cincinnati moved 74 yard with the touchdown comiiiR on a sensational fake by Murphy, who apparently handed the ball to Miller.

Pardini, however, had the ball and scored on a seven-yard romp around left end. Murphy fumbled the conversion attempt. Taking the second half kick-off, UC moved to the Tulsa 4'5 from where Murphy's long pass was hauled down by Presley who was running all by himself on the 15-yard line. He went over to score ami Pardini's extra point made it 26-0. The Bearcats nearly had another one shortly alter when Murphy hit Goist with a 20-yard pass on Tulsa's 15, but Goist was tackled and fumbled on the two and the Hurricanes recovered in their end zone for a touch back.

Late in the third stanza, the Hurricanes 80-yard march that culminated in a touchdown early in the fourth period. Mixing quick openers with short passes. Wynes quarterbacked the Hurricanes to UC's .50 and a penalty moved the ball to the 15. Four phvs later Dick Hughes scored from one yard out and Knet kicked the extra point. This left I'C in front, 26-7.

Cincinnati made it 33-7 midway in the last stanza after Niemann returned a Tulsa punt to the Hurricane 40. A 36-yard pass from Comchoc to Morte-more put the ball on the four and Turner cracked over in two plays. He also added the extra point. The final touchdown came on a 68-yard march with an all-sophomore unit operating for the Bearcats. The key play was a 33-yard pass from Williams to Johnson that put the ball a ard short of the goal.

Brooks scored on the next play and Johnson kicked the point. Periods; 15 3 4 Tul. 7-7 Cincinnati 1 3 6 7 14 4 0 Tula storing; Touchdown Hufflies. O.n-serslon Knet. Ci.icinnsu bcorinu: Touchdowns CMt 2.

In Giant Sweep BY LOU SMITH I THE ENQUIRER SPORTS EDITOP.I CLEVELAND, Oct. 2 The inevitable happened today. Lippy Leo Durocher's hustling and greatly un-derated New York Giants conducted the expected wake for Cleveland's inept and lead-footed Indians. It was attended by an overflow crowd of 78,102 mourners. In mopping up the Indians in four straight, the Ciiants became the first National League team to have puHed a trick like that since the Giants of 1922 pulled the same trick at the expense of Babe Ruth ami the Vork Yankees and that was somewhat tainted by a tie.

It also was the National's first series triumph since the St. Louis Cardinal victory In 1946. The last American League team to win four straight was the 1950 Yankees against the so-called Philadelphia Whiz Kids. IN MAKING MOST of the experts look foolish, the Giants outplayed the Indians by a wide margin in all departments except pitching. And there, too, they enjoyed an edge.

There was no question about their hitting and fielding superiority, as well as considerably more of that indispensable ingredient of a champion the will to win. The Giants never turned off the pressure until midway in today's final game, which they won, 7-4. After sweeping into an early seven-run lead at tha expense of starter Bob Lemon and Hal Newhouser, they did relax lone enough to enable the Indians tn make things Interesting for the second largest crowd in the history of World Series competition, thanks to 38-year-old Hank Majeski (that's what he admits) who slammed a three-run, pinch-hit homer. The Indians also had the satisfaction of chasinfc starter Don Liddle, as well as his successor Hoyt Wilhelm, who mopped up in Friday's game, But Johnny Antonelli came on in the eighth inning to fan three of the six men he faced to wind up the most one-sided World Series since 1950. IT'S ABOUT TIME to give Durocher and the Giants credit for being a pretty fair country manager and a good ball club.

Lippy and his lads, who lack the power of the Brooklyn Dodgers, took a lot of belittling, prior to the start of the series. It started in earnest during the 1934 spring training period. There were at least two superior bc.ll clubs in the National League, everybody said. The Giants, who finished fifth in 1953, two games ahead of the sixth-place Reds, couldn't possibly beat either Brooklyn or Milwaukee. Well, all the Giants did was to bowl over all rivals In most every crucial series.

It continued to be th same story in the World Series. They kept doing what had to be done. They knocked tff Bob Lemon, the Indians' ace, a thrill-packed, 10-inning opening game. Early Wynn, rated by most of the experts as the best "stuff" pitcher in the majors, suffered the same fate in the second game. Big Mike Garcia, affectionately called the "Big Bear" by his teammates, and the most powerful of the Indians' big three, failed to answer the bell for the fourth inning in dropping the third game.

And they wound up hostilities by plastering Lemon, a 23-garne winner during the regular season with his second defeat today. GIANT HEROES WERE like mushrooms. They were all over the place. The brightest, however, was Dusty Rhodes, a $7500-a-year utility man. Only it Hollywood press agent would be capable of coining the descriptive adjective needed to describe what the pokerfaced Alabaman meant to Durocher and his Giants.

Dusty, who rarely crashes the starting line-up because he wears two left shoes, won the opener with a three-run homer in the 10th; he drove in two runs and scored one with a pinch single and a homer as Johnny Antonelli bested Wynn, 3-1, in the second game. In the third game he stepped to the plate in the role of a pinch hitter for the third straight day and came through with a two-run single. Today he wasn't needed. He richly deserved day of rest. Al Dark also proved why he is regarded as ore of the game's greatest money players, as well as a real classy shortstop.

Hank Thompson amazed tna experts with his brilliant fielding at third base. We could go on and on extolling the Giants, whom we liked from the very start. But why continue? It's ail over now. THE INDIANS, WHO were good enough to win 111 games during the regular season to set an all-time American League record, lost what little bounce a slow team figured to have after losing the opener, easily the most exciting of the series. Outside of the pitching of Lemon and Wynn in the first two games, their only bright spot was Vie Wertz.

The Baltimore Oriole castoff led both teams in hitting with eight hits in 16 swings for an average of .500. But he strictly was on the minus side defensively, as was expected for an outfielder trying to play first base. NO GAME SUNDAY Wet grounds or something. THE FOUR-GAME sweep by the Giants hit club owners were it hurts the most in the pocketbook. It was conservatively estimated that it cost each club in the neighborhood of a quarter of million dollars by not having to play the final three games.

However, it could hardly be called a loss because there never was a guarantee the event would go mote than four games, the number that had to be won by the winning team. Cleveland officials estimated that an overflow crowd of 85,000 would have showed up for Sunday's fifth game had the Indians won today. P. S. It made no difference to the players.

They quit sharing after the fourth game. MAYBE BASEBALL IS an old man's game. Hank Majeski, who is almost old enough to be collecting social security, gave the Cleveland fans their first chance to cheer in the sixth inning with a three-run homer. It came following successive errors by Liddle and Dave Williams. THERE'S A BIG difference between the spring and fall.

This is especially true as far as pinch hitter Dave Tope of the Indians Is concerned. During tins soring exhibition season the Cleveland outfielder hit Hoyt Wilhelm for three home runs. Today, batting for Al Smith in the seventh with two down and two mates aboard, he bounced back to the Giants knuckle ball king. THE INDIANS RESEMBLED fugitives from ft Cleveland sandlot in the Giants' two-run second. Wertz, a converted outfielder who plays first base like a shoemaker, threw into left field after spearing Williams' liner to give the Giants their first run.

Wally Westlake, a Rodleg castoff, then got into the amateurish act attempting to throw Westrum's flv before he caught it. Result: He dropped it to permit the second marker to come home. WONDER IF THE Giants will be thoughtless enough not to cut officials or the Milwaukee Braves, especially General Manager John Qtjlnn, In on tnei share of the Juciest World Series melon of all tlm The Braves, you know, made It possible for the Giant to make the series by sending them pitchers Johnny Antonelli (21 victories) and Don Liddle (nine) in exchange for outfielder Bobby Thomson. "SORRY WE WEREN'T playing in the American League this year," declared Fred Haney, manager of the National League cellar-dwelling Pittsburgh Pirates. "We'd have been a cinch to finish In the first division." Majcski's homer into the left-field corner, incidentally, was only the fifth by a pinch hitter In all Series competition but the.

second in this particular set. Khodes, of course, hit the other In the 10th Inning of the first game at the Polo Grounds. After singles by Wertz, Jim TIegan and pinch-hitter Rudy Regalado added up to another run in the seventh, Durocher called for Wilhelm. Dave Pope, the man who had boasted in today's papers that he hit three or four homers off Wilhelm's knuckler in the spring, hit weakly to the mound to end the inning. Bob Lemon, who went the route in the first game and was trying to come back in a desperation move with only two days rest, was charged with the first six New York runs.

The other one was a black mark on the record of lefty Hal New-hquser, the former Detroit veteran, who relieved Lemon in the fifth inning. Hawkey es In Romp Over Montana, IOWA CITY. Iowa, Oct. 2 Iowa's power-packed football legions bruised Montana, 48-6, today in an intersectional con-lest played in humid 75-degree temperature. Ranked No, 3 in the Associated Press poll after a 14-10 victory over Michigan State last.

Saturday, Iowa rolled to a 20-0 half-time lead. Coach Forest Evashevski, who had alternated his first and second teams in the first half, had his third unit in operation late in the third period which ended with Iowa far in front, 31-0. Iowa came back with Its No. 5 line-up for the lust period and halfback Bobby Stearnes dazzled the crowd of 37,500 with a J)4-yard pass Interception run for a touchdown, the longest of Its kind In Iowa history. Montana's gameness got a late reward with 44 seconds left in the game when Murdo Campbell raced across from the Iowa four.

IjPO Durocher's opportunists. Iilcrt to every chance, pilfd up an early 7-0 lead for Don Liddle, and then called on Iloyt Wil-helm's dancing knuckler and finally 21 game winner Johnny Atonelli to stave off the dying gasps of the futile Tribe. Not since 1922 when the Giants of John McGraw rode over the New York Yankees had a National League champ gone through a series without defeat.

That sweep, however, was somewhat blemished by one tie Actually, the miracle Boston Braves of 1914 were the laot Nationals to do it in four aTies. Cleveland, winningest team in American League history with 111 victories while dethroning the five-time champion York Yankees, suffered the name shocking fate as the Chicago Cubs of 1906 whose 110 triumphs still stands as the major league high. Those )d-tims Cubs, however, did man-iige to cop a couple from the White Sox. Down the drain with Cleveland's proud record of ever losing a World Scries went a SunoVy gate. The Indians now will have to begin the doleful duty of returning fifth-game ticket money to fans, just as the Giants will have to redeem tickets for the phantom sixth and seventh.

NEVER EASE UP Lightly regarded as 17-10 underdogs against Cleveland's "big three" pitching staff, the underrated Giants never let the Tribe off the floor. After taking the thrilling 10-inning opener, 5-2, and beating Early Wynn in the 3-1 second game, they moved Into Cleveland's home park to floor the Tribe for the third time, 6-2, 8nd finally put them out for the count. With the sweep went the big share of the richest plaver pool Jn history. $798,703.72. The two participants whack up 70 per cent or The Giants' pot comes to $.135,480.78 nod the Indians $223,653.8.

Commissioner Ford Prick's office refused to announce how tbe-clubs split the loot but it Is understood Cleveland has about 38 Without knowing for sure how they divide the money, each winner should get about $9000 and each loser about $6000. At the end it was Antonelli, the young left-hander the Giants' snared from Milwaukee with Liddle in the trade for Bobby Thomson, who officiated at Uie burial services. i 1 1 had put down a seventh-inning Cleveland threat that produced one run but was In a jam with two on and one out in the eighth when Du-rocher called for Antonelli, the $65,000 bonus baby of a few years back. JOHN' WHIFFS WERTZ In came the Rochester, N. youngster to blow a third strike past Vic Wertz, whose eight hits were high for the Series.

Wally Westlake looked at a called third strike to end the last real threat. Antonelli walked Sam Dcnte npenlng the ninth but got Jim Ilegan to foul out, and fanned pinch hitter Dave Fhitley. Then Dale Mitchell, batting for Dave Tope, lofted a feeble foul pop to third baseman Hank Thompson who gathered It fondly in Ms glove to touch off a hilarious Giant bench. Out they swarmed from the dugout for an impromptu victory celebration the spot where Thompson caught the ball for the final out that ended seven years of American League Series domination. The last Nationals to win were the St.

Louis Cards in 1916 and it took them seven games. The last Giants world champions were in 1933 when they beat Washington. And the Giants today did it without Dusty Rhodes, pinch-hitting hero of the first -three triumphs who finished the series on the bench with a .667 batting average while Monte Irvin, his "stand in" as. the left-field starter in every game, helped wrap it up with a double and single that knocked in two of the seven runs. O.NL VONCE BEFORE Only once all season had Cleveland lost four in a row, (luring that "lost weekend'' at Chicago, July 9-11, just before the All-Star break.

They avoided a bad slump all season only to run Into their worst days When if counted most. At that the big crowd of 78,102 that piled up a record gate of $180,085.64 for a single game, saw the Indians put up more fight in their last gasp than they had in Friday's sum-bling effort. Despite that early 7-0 deficit, they made it reasonably close in the final stages so Durocher had to dig Into that deeply stacked bullpen for help. kiddle, the half-pint lefty with the well-controlled curve, had Cleveland at his mercy through the first four Innings, allowing only one hit. Two successive errors, one by himself when he failed to touch first base while fielding a throw from Whltey T.ockman, and another by Dave Williams, set it up for Hank Majeski to deliver a three-run pinch homer in the fifth.
