15 Two of the "grand old men" of Indiana football were honored today at the a w-Wabash football game Between halves the band struck! up "Indiana" and the Dernuw Men's Association presented lrathr bound desk set to Rus- sel Julius. Julius, field judge at the game, is athletic director at Shortridge high school in Indianapolis and is winding up 25 years of football officiating with this season. At the finish of the tilt, players of both teams lined up around Robert E. (Tete) Vaughan, retiring athletic director at Wahash as DePauw gave him a blanket inscribed "to Mr. and Mrs.

rete Vaughan from their friends at DePauw." Then Pete was carried off the field on the shoulders of Wabash players. Both grifts were surprises, i time it got the ball and that was a quickie. 1 The Little Giants started from their own 27. Knutson hit left tackle to the 45 and then went to the DePauw 46. Jim Allerdice cracked left tackle to the 34 and then Roman went all the way on quarterback sneak that was i I supposed to have gained only a few yards but which wound up with him having a wide hole to gallop to the goal line.

That's when it began to look like a rout but that when De- Pauw began to worry Wabash. THE EMBATTLED Tigers drove 85 yards to score. They did it strictly on running plays and it was Roberts who carried the mail most of the time. He produced the longest gain of the march. That was early in the second pe- riod when, starting from the Wa- 1J, lie laLCU I- uic ijtLviv- Giant 17 off tackle.

He was out in the open when cut down from behind by Halsted Walker. Then the hard work started again and from the six Bob Gip-son started around left end. He almost was caught for a Toss but straight-armed the Wabash tack ier and went merrily to the goal line. It looked as if the Tigers might be ready to cause some troilble but Wabash chilled that threat a bit later as it went 55 yards in seven plays to score Hgain and put the game away; Those also were all running plays and it was Allerdice who set things up with an off-tackle smash that carried from the Wabash 42 to the DePauw 27. The Little Giants punched to the one and Norman Wilson battered over right tackle to score.

DePauw started another drive from its 25 later in the period and went as far as the Wabash 20 as the period ended. Oddly, it was a 16-yard pass from Roberts to Bob Greisser that moved the Tigers that far just as the quarter ended. DEPAUW HELD on its own 18- yard line earlv in the third caster Smith to give the Irish their halftime advantage. After holding Notre Dame for downs on the 19, Burson hit End Joe Zuravieff and Fullback Art. Murakowski with four passes for a total of 52 yards in a scoring match topped by Burson's seven yard toss to Frank Ashenbrenner.

NOTRE DAME then pushed 56 yards in ten rushing plays featur lug Mike Swistowicz only to be checked on the seven. Entering the final period with a 20-12 lead, Lu.iack uncorked a 13 yard pass to Brennan and finally reached End Eoon Hart on a seven yard, fourth-down scoring pass to cap a 36 yard push.

Bob DeMoss, Purdue's famed pnsser who was throttled by the weather, went over from two yards out In the third Stormy Pfohl covered the last six yards to tally In the fourth period and Bob Ilartman pitched 21-yard pass to Bill Canlield for Purdue's final marker In the last two minutes of the game. Art Haverstock, Purdue's point-kicking specialist, booted the four extra points to make his record 24 nut of 25 attempts for the season, THROUGH IT ALL the Panthers never quit fighting and although they didn't penetrate beyond Purdue's 48-ynrd line until late in the game, they made Stu Jtolcomb's charges go all out before surrendering touchdowns.

Standing out for tho vanquished was Cnrl DePnsfua, who made tnckle after tackle in the secondary after Purdue backs appeared headed for touchdowns. Another Panther star was Bill Hardisty whose booming fiunts frequently pulled Pitt, out of danger and put Purdue in tho hole. After a scoreless first quarter, featured by the visitors' great stand on the two-yard line, it was a trade in pass Interceptions which started Purdue down victory lane. Pitt intercepted a De-Moss aerial early in the second period, but two p'ays later Grimenstein stole Paul Rickards' pass and raced 43 yards to score. Haverstock converted for a 7-to-0 lead and that's the way it was at the half.

Norb Adams ripped off 41 of the yards and DeMoss sneaked over from the two to climax the drive, Haverstock converted to make it 14 to 0. Near the end of the period Purdue alertness led to another touchdown which bloomed in the fourth quarter. Kenney Gorgal snatched a Pitt pass and was run out of bounds on the four after a 25-yard jaunt. On the second play Pfohl boomed over from the six and Ilaverstock's boot made it 21 to 0.

With only two minutes left, it was Ilartman's pass to Canfleld which racked up the final marker. This score culminated a drive. Purdue (28) Pittsburgh (0) Capello Forsythe Barkouskie Ward Sumnter Boldln McPeti Cummins Leo L. T. L.

Then Russell tossed to Deranck who raced 34 yards for the six points. The score was Indiana 13-0 as the first quarter ended. In the second period, McKinnis began to hit the Marquette line with a vengeance, and finally plowed through from three-yard line for the third Indiana touchdown.

Even though it was a bad day for the spectators the field was amazingly free from mud. The Little Giants just had too much power as they copped their 26th decision from DePauw as against 24 Tiger victories. NEITHER TEAM showed much In the way of passing but DePauw suffered most from the lack of an.

aerial attack? Charles Roberts, a hard-running lad from Marion, gave the Little Giants plenty of trouble but the Tigers didn't have the passing to mix with Roberts' running, particularly after Russell Freeland, the scat back from Lawrenceburg, had to be withdrawn from the game. Freeland suffered a slight concussion early in the game and last night was sent to the university infirmary. Physicians said his condition was not serious. Wabash capitalized heavily on a penalty to get its first touchdown. Until then it had been an even up ball A punt gave Wabash the ball on Its 35: "Don Knutson galloped 43 yards around right end to the DePauw 31.

The next two plays picked up 11 yards and then DePauw was caught holding and the ball went to rest on the. Tiger five-yard stripe. THAT WAS ALL Wabash reeded.

Caps Subdue Indians, 4-2 By WALTER GRAHAM The Republican Springfield, Nov. 15 The Indianapolis Capitals won a I hard-fought 4-lo-2 decision over I Springfield in an American Hockey I-eague game at theColi-1 scum here tonight before a crowd of 5,500 spectators. Following the encounter the Hoosiers packed up for the trip to Providence, R.I., where they play tomorrow night.

The Indians broke into the scoring column at 15:10 tonight, but the tally was registered with the aid of Ed Nicholson, Indianapolis defenseman. Courteau had skated in close, but his drive was halted by Almas and as Nicholson roared in to heln make the I caie hi skate hit the nuck and it went into the net. THE CAPITALS tied it up In the final minute of the period while they were short two men, Don Morrison and Bob Thorpe were in the coop for fighting and then Nicholson was sent off the ice for two minutes. Nicholson had suffered a bloody nose when hit by a stick and was trying to get back to the Cap bench when his relief man skated onto the ice too soon, so Nicholson was penalized because the Hoosiers had too many players on the ice. Even though the Indians had the advantage in manpower, Lee Fogolin got the puck near his own blue line while all the Springfield players were caught behind him.

Fogolin went all the way, skated to the right of the Indian cage and flipped the, rubber past Goalie Perras for the equalizer. Morrison and Thorpe still were in the jug when the second period started, having a 54-second hold over from their major penalties. of thca first frame. Nicholson rr turned to the ice after having inree suioies laKcn on iie onoge of his nose. The Indians were on two occasions penalized jj0f venriahl was for tripping, but the Caps couldn't i tally.
