Hoosiers Rip Pitt9 41-6; Brilliant Taliaferro Run Provides Thrill Of Day By HAROLD HARRISON, The Star Sports Editor. Bloomington, Oct. 18 Pittsburgh's toothless Panthers weren'J even a close match for Indiana todny and the Hoosiers racked up theii? second football victory of the season with a 41-to-6 decision before a crowd of 25,000. But the lop-sidedness of the game partly was overshadowed by th brilliance of just one play.

That was a 36-yard gallop by Indiana's George Taliaferro in th last quarter. He took a pass from Del Russell out at the side at the Pitt 45-yard line and ran nil the way to the Panther nine. Just how he evaded being brought down a half dozen times never will be figured out, except to credit It all to his running.

(Associated Press Wirephoto.) Irish Down Nebraska, 31 To 0, Before Sellout Crowd Of 56,000 Fans By JACK K. OVERMYER, Star Sports Writer. South Bend, Oct. 18 Notre Dame's runners finally shifted into high gear this afternoon, ripping through a stubborn Nebraska line for 255 net yards, five touchdowns and a 31-to-0 victory in the first meeting between these two schools in 22 years. A sellout crowd Of 56,000 saw the Irish home opener.

versity, Scoring almost at will after the first half, the Boilermakers proved invincible both on the ground and in the air to hand Coach Buff Donelli's Terriers their worst drubbing of the season, Stu Holcomb's disciples scored once in the opening quarter and three times in the second period to roll up A 28-7 intermission edge. After two sizzling passes by Bob DeMoss had set up two more tallies in the third frame, Holcomb put his No. 1 team under wraps and the Purdue third-stringers culminated a perfect, Boilermaker afternoon by crossing the goal line thrice in the final quarter. THE BOILERMAKERS made their second invasion of the Hub City as successful as the first 20 years ago, when the Purdues of that season jolted a hitherto invincible Harvard squad, 19 to 0. With a 17-3 edge in first downs, Purdue piled up 488 yards via running plays and aerials as compared to 21 by the Terriers.

After Norbett Adams and Bob Agnew had tallied the hard way for Purdue on ground plays, Harry Szulborskl deflated the Terriers' morale by racing 86 yards for a touchdown that brought 11,446 home-coming coat-less fans to their feet. That beautiful gallop along the sidelines was the pay-off, and after that Purdue had things its own way. A few minutes later, Kenneth Gorgal, substituting for DeMoss, reeled off the second longest run of the afternoon, chugging 65 yards down the sidelines. PURDUE lost no time starting another march after the half time from its own 32. Four plays by Cl' was a quickie but the boys had to cover a lot of ground In a hurrj.

They went 98 yards in Just flv plays. Groomes' 38-yard rurf around left end provided one big offensive thrust In that march and, then Taliaferro passed from tht Pitt 48 to Chick Jagade for thft touchdown. Ravensberg provided some brilliant action on that play-as he deftly kept three- Pittsburgh, tacklers from getting their handi on Jagade, AN INTERCEPTED pass gav Indiana its fourth touchdown. Mlhajlevlch picked off one of Carl Depasqua'i tosses at the Pitt 20 and ran It back for the touchdown. The leg-weary Panthers gave up two more touchdowns in the final quarter.

Indiana looked better than a week ago, largely because of its passing attack, but the Hoosiers still showed a weakness on puss defense. Just as against Iowa, It was a pass receiver in behind the Hoosler defense that brought Pitt its only touchdown. And on at least, two other occasions receivers behind the defense barely missed passes that, would have been good for touchdowns.

IT TOOK INDIANA more than a full quarter to get warmed up to its touchdown work. The Hoosiers had one good inarch in the opening period, rolling as far as Pitt's 17 before giving up the ball on downs. Three touchdowns poured across in the second quarter, however, and the Hoosiers put the hall game under control. The first two markers were scored within less than four minutes of 'Hie Hoosiers went 69 yards for the first score, with Young's passes to Joe Bartkiewicz, Lou Mihaj-lovich and Mel Groomes providing the hig punches to carry the ball to the Pitt 20. From there, Dick if' Adams brought the Boilermakers to their 49.

Szulborski's jaunt advanced Purdue to the Terriers' 38. DeMoss, appearing only on the offensive plays, then whirled back and heaved a 40-yard pass to Adams, who was safely out of reach of the Terriers' secondary. Art. Ilaverstock successfully kicked his fifth straight placement, giving Purdue a 35-to-7 advantage. A blocked punt yielded DeMoss another opportunity to wk'ld his aerial artistry.

Calmly stepping behind the line of scrimmage on the Boston U. 32, DeMoss spotted Bill Canlield, in for Szulborskl, on the run in the collin corner and Canfield gathered the ball in over his shoulders for the sixth Purdue marker, followed by Ilavcrfltork's extra point over the upiighls. From then on, Purdue reserves took command, qgyth Bill Fckl-kircher and Robert llnrtman master-minding the T-fornintion. Just before the third period ran out, Feldkircher tossed a 13-yard pass to Herbert Hoffman on the 20. After the rest period, Feldkircher went to the six, and two plays later, Bill Barnard was over.

Iff 5 i Caps Bow To Barons In 2-1 Tilt By CORKY LAMM Star Sports Writer Cleveland, Oct. 18 After spotting the Cups a fust period goal, the Cleveland Barons rnmc roaring back to score in each of the lust two periods to hand Indianapolis its first American Lengue hockey defeat of the season here tonight by a 2 to 1 score.

A crowd of 8,838 was on hand in the arena and saw the Barons snap a two-game losing streak. Coach Johnny Mowers' Caps, who grabbed their opener from St. Louis Thursday, couldn't cope with Cleveland's pressing attack in the late stnges. And only mime brilliant gftal-tending by Red Almas, plus Cleveland's inaccurate firing, prevented a greater margin of victory. THE FIRST OK eight, meetings this season between the Caps and Barons was comparatively peaceful affair, with hut a total of 11 penalties being whistled against the clubs.

The Caps were caught on six of thm, one of which Indirectly produi-ed the Barons Initial tally, which tied it up in the second period. Although Almas was credited with but 18 saves, to 38 for Goalie Johnny Bower of the Barons, he spent, considerable time and effort watching Cleveland shots buzz at. or past him. The figures on the net tending were just a mite misleading, since the Barons time nnd again were completely missing the cage with 1 heir attempts. The Caps, who face Washington tomorrow night on Indianapolis ice in their third game, solved Cleveland's tight defense for the first, and only time in the initial period on Bruce Burdeite's southpaw shot from in front of the Baron cage.

But Cleveland, Inking advnn- Turn lo Page 42, Column 4 another pass over center from Montgomery to Pierce Green put the Red and White on the Bull- on iwo auempis mi a teammate in the Butler end zone, BL'TLER THEN fought Its way from its own 20 to the Wabash 34 in three straight first downs. A clipping penalty handcuffed the Bulldogs here early in the second quart and series of pass plays Tarn to Page 42, Column 1 While in its first two games Notre Dame had to depend almost entirely on passes to win, today's victory was fashioned around a ground attack all the way. Only one touchdown, the next-to-last, was scored through the air and two long runs set it up. Coy McGee, the wiry little Texan, again turned in a consistent running average, but had to share honors with two other halfbacks Mike Swistowicz and Emil Sitko. MeGEE SCORED one touchdown, the third in the third quarter, and set up the first Irish tnUy in the opening period.

His on-tackle dances, coupled with his ever-dangerous runbacks of Nebraska punts, probably made him the day's outstanding player. Swistowicz, regularly a fullback, was shifted to right half to start the game instead of the ailing Sitko. He was the workhorse of Notre Dame's 55-yard drive for score No. 2 in the second quarter, getting all but 22 of those yards and scoring the touchdown. Sitko made only a brief appearance, coming in eirly in the final quarter.

But his 31-yard dash over center on his first play set up quarterback Frank Tripucka's touchdown pass to End Doug Waybright to make the score 23 to 0. Five minutes later Emit took a lateral fom Tripucka and ripped 10 yards around left end for the final Irish tally. Sitko carried the ball five times, picking up 53 yards. McGee had a 66-yard gain in nine tries, while Swistowicz added 39 yards in nine runs. Terry Brennan, although not scoring, came up with some timely gains, getting 42 yards in eight tries.

XTBKASKA'S LINE, led by its Butler Whips Wabash, 14-0, In Key Test mm bruising backer-up, Mike Novak, put up a terrific battle in the first half, holding the Irish to 12 points. But the Huskers didn't have the backs to go with their forward wall and the few times they did muster a drive the runners couldn't keep up enough momentum. Notre Dame Coach Frank Leahy used his ace field general, Johnny Lujack, but sparingly. He and Tripucka split the quarterbacking duties about evenly. Johnny came out ahead on the touchdowns, though, engineering three to Frank's two.

Notre Dame held Nebraska to 149 yards rushing and to but four yards on one pass completion out of eight attempts. The hosts rolled up 20 first downs to the Huskers' nine and completed 10 out of 17 tosses for 135 yards. Lujack completed but two of six aerials for 38 yards, Tripucka hitting eight out of 11 for 97 yards. John Panelli, regular Irish fullback, was taken off the field in the fourth -quarter with a dislocated elbow and possible fracture of the arm. X-rays were to be taken tonight to determine the extent of the injury.

The Irish put -on drives of 74, 55, 50, 91 and 27 yards for their five touchdowns, in that order. A Nebraska fumble set up the last one. but all the others strictly were i "fiornoH nine" THE GAME OPENED in a rather ragged manner, two fumbles by Notre Dame and a pass interception by Nebraska popping up in the first five minutes. But after the Huskers finally held the ball for four downs without effect, Turn to Page 42, Column 6 went wide, but it didn't matter by then. Neither did the fact that he missed one from the 19-yard line in the opening period.
