WESTERN Michigan rammed over its first score shortly after Butler held for downs on its 10-yard line, killing a 75-yard Bronco drive emanating from tha opening kickoff. When the Bulldogs couldn't advance in two plays, Knute Dobkins punted and the ball rolled dead on the Butler 32. The Broncos smashed to the 18 where Quarterback Hilton Foster pitched to George Mesko in the end zone for the touchdown. Bulldog Tackle John' Murphy broke through to block Mai Pearson's placekick attempt for the extra point. Butler, taking the ensuing kick-off, again couldn't dent the Bronco line in three plays and Dobkins "kicked.

His boot was blocked and Western Michigan took over on the Butler 13. IT TOOK only four plays for Western Michigan to chalk up touchdown No. 2, again on a pass from Quarterback Norm Harris which End Swift Noble caught in the end zone. Pearson converted to give the Broncos a 13-0 margin. The second quarter was only two plays old when Hurrle broke up another WM drive by intercepting Foster's pass on the Butler 40 and galloping to the Broncos' 35 before being hauled down.

John Chelminiak then completed a pass to Dobkins, who fought his way to the two, where Fullback Flavian Weidekamp plunged over for the touchdown. An offside penalty gave Harry Farmer two chances to make good on the paring Western Michigan's lead to 13-7. Dick Stull of Western Michigan peeled off a 29-yard touchdown gallop, also in the second period, but a backfield-in-motion penalty nullified the gain. For the remainder of the half both clubs were stranded around mid-field, each unable to gain consistently. OPENING the third period, the Broncos took over on their own 20, after Dobkins booted a 60-yard punt, and moved quickly to their final tally.

Bauer, Stull and a Foster-to- Stull pass moved the ball to the Butler 29. Then Stull broke through left tackle and squirmed his way through the Bulldog secondary to the one-yard line where he finally was stopped by Don Hinkle. Hildreth hit the line for the touchdown "and Pearson's conversion was good for a 20-to-7 lead. Twice more Western Michigan threatened to score in the fourth. The first drive reached the Butler, four, where penalties helped kill it, and the second penetrated to the Bulldogs' two, where Butler's line refused to budge.

PURDUE'S COUNTER was the spark that touched off the Minnesota scoring blast. A delayed plunge sent Fullback Frank Kuz-ma over for the first Gopher tally. A few plays later halfback Bud Hausken took a pass that bounced off a potential interceptor's hands and raced for another tally to put Minnesota ahead. A lateral good for 20 yards and an eight-yard plunge by Halfback Bill Bye gave Minnesota another touchdown shortly after the second period opened. Quarterback Jim Malosky was the workhorse for the fourth Minnesota tally.

He plunged to the 25-yard line and then took a pass from Halfback Dick Lawrence to put the ball on the eight. He scored on a pass from Halfback Ev Faunce. NEITHER TEAM could work up a serious scoring threat in the third period and it wasn't until midway in the final frame that Minnesota could score again. Plunges by Faunce and Halfback Glenn Pullens cairied the was, sent off for tripping, but the Caps couldn't connect while the enemy was shorthanded. Little Pete Leswick, a former Cap, sent the Barons out in front with only 47 seconds of the opening period remaining.

Stationed at the left goal post, he flipped in a rebound on Bobby Carse's shot which bounded high into the air off Sawchuk's pads and while the Cap goal tender was looking for the puck. Saves for the period were 10 for Bessette and eight for Sawchuk. THE CAPS came battling back at the start of the middle period to square the count in just 57 seconds. Baldy MacKay beat in a short rebound shot after Lund had forced a face-off at the Baron end of the ice. Pat Lundy tried a short from the left side on which Bessette made a save, but MacKay was waiting to flip in the rebound when the Baron goalie failed to clear.

Sclisizzi walked in alone on Bessette, faked nicely and then slapped a 10-footer past the Baron goalie at 5:14 in the middle period to give the Caps a 2-1 lead. Nicholson set up the play, breaking into a Baron rush to get the puck. The Caps were called on for some real defensive play midway in the period when Simpson was called for interference. The Barons went into their deadly short passing game but Sawchuk and his mates were on the alert and successfully rode out the PODOLSKY'S difficult angle shot from the right wing zipped into the nets waist-high past the Baron padman at 16:18 and the score rolled to 3-1 for the Caps. Bruneteau set up the play with a nice pass.

'rf Sawchuk hid 19 saves for the The Crimson held the Irish scoreless in the last quarter, finally breaking a string touchdowns in consecutive periods, which had reached 33. BEHIND THE throwing and running of Halfback Del Russell, the Hoosiers also negotiated their lone touchdown in that final quarter. They went 77 yards against the Irish reserves in the Chart on Page 5 last five minutes to end the game on a considerably brighter note than they began it. Except for a brief moment when Johnny McDonnell ran back a kickoff 48 yards to the Notre Dame 22, today's game was strictly no contest right from the beginning. The Irish varsity played almost all the first half, scoring every time it got hold of the ball to roll up a 35-to-0 halftime lead.

They elected to kick off and then the Irish began to rack up the touchdowns with monotonous regularity.

EMIL SITKO got the first one, a 24-yard dash over tackle after the Irish had moved 82 yards in 14 plays. Indiana gave them a large assist on this one, though. The Hoosiers held after five nlays on the Notre Dame 38, but End Sam Winston was called for roughing Punter Bob Williams and the Irish had a first down 15 yards farther up the field. From there it took them nine more plays to break Sitko loose. Steve Oracko added the first of his six extra points, which is the first time this season that the Notre Dame guard has had a perfect afternoon.

McDONNELL put a momentary scare into the nation's leading collegiate team when he took Oratko's kickoff on his own 25, cut the south side lines and ran to the NoU-i? Dame 22 before being hauled down from behind. Unnecessary roughness on the Irish put Indiana on the seven but then four straight passes failed. Russell had End Joe Bart-kiewicz open on the goal line on fourth down, but threw over his head. Notre Dame took over on the 15. Then the deluge began.

Starting from their own 30 because of an Indiana roughing penalty, the Irish marched the remaining 70 yards in nine plays. Quarterback Frank Tripucka tossed to Halfback Bill Gay lor 45 of them and Jack Landry, a second-string halfback, cracked over from the two for the second touchdown. INDIANA GOT as far as the ND 29 early in the second quarter, but wound up back on the 34 on a fourth-down run. The Irish promptly covered those 66 Landry, Fullback Frank Spaniel and Halfback Bill McKillip ground out yardage to the 11. Spaniel ran right end to the one and then Landry crashed over tackle for his second touchdown of the day.

Russell was the mainspring of the Indiana touchdown drive. There were five minutes to play when the Hoosiers got the ball on their own 23. Russell pitched 31 yards to. Halfback Ralph Goldston, picked up 15 more himself by running and then had a pass to Quarterback Nick Sebek ruled complete on the 15 because, of interference by Notre Dame's Gerry Btvgley. RUSSELL, seeing his first full-day's duty of the season, moved to the two in two cracks at the line, lost five to the seven and then jump-passed Joe Bart-kiewicz In the end zone.

Joe was sitting down when he caught the ball. Russell's work, practically all in the second half, made him the best, Indiana rush with 35 yards in 13 tries. He completed six of 13 tosses for 72 yards. Both coaches used plenty of manpower, akbeit for different reasons. Frank Leahy sent in all 38 of his traveling squad members, Indiana's Clyde Smith giving 27 a chance to play.

Panelli, Sitko and Spaniel were the biggest Irish gainers. Panelli got 62 yards in six tries, Sitko 70 in seven and Spaniel 67 in five. TRIPUCKA, who hasn't been throwing much of late, got a good workout and came through with seven of nine for 145 yards. Chick Jagade, hard-running Indiana fullback, went out of the game with a dislocated shoulder in the second quarter and prob ably will be lost for the rest of the season which Is Michigan and Purdue. The 36-point defeat, Indiana's fifth straight, was the school's worst licking in over two decades.

Hanover Overpowers Indiana Central, 40-12 By BOB STRANAHAN Sport Editor Cleveland, Nov. 6 Young Terry Sawchuk came up with another sensational performance in the nets before 10,817 partisan Cleveland hockey' fans here tonight as the embattled Indianapolis Caps nipped the Champion Barons for the second straight time by a 3-2 margin. The triumph, coupled with the Pittsburgh's deadlock with St.

Louis, enabled the Caps to go into a second-place tie, with the Hornets. THE CAPS and Barons battled grimly and brilliantly as they did in Indianapolis and will move over to the Coliseum tomorrow night to resume their series. Sawchuk turned aside 45 Baron blasts to gain the grudging respect of even the Cleveland fans. Eighteen of his stops came in the last period when the Caps were battling gamely, three times short-handed, to defend a hard-won 3-1 lead. The Barons went out In front, 1-0, in the initial period, but a three-goal blast by the Caps in the middle stanza ultimately stood up for the victory with the help of some great defensive play.

THE CAPS had the first chance to score when George Allen drew a two-minute sentence for elbowing, but the Barons rode out this penalty with Indianapolis getting only two rushes started in which the Caps got shots. Bessette turned both of these aside. Al Dewsbury and Bryan Hex-tall drew penalties of two minutes, the Cap defenseman for charging and the Baron for elbowing, but the open ice failed to help either team.
