The second largest crowd ever to throng the Ohio Stadium 82,754 saw the Ohioans rise to their greatest heights of the season, take the lead with a first-period field goal, and win everything but the ball game. The victory, the Wolves' ninth straight of the season and in row, wrapped up their second consecutive Western Conference championship and gave them an outstanding claim on the national title.

It was their fourth state troopers and police broke up a miniature not in the north stands just under the flagpole. Indiana was beaten very clearly at that time, and someone got the Hoosier pennant down from the pole with intentions of making off with it as a souvenir. But Crimson pnrtisans who would have no part of this put up a battle for it. As usual, the law was the winner and it was a hitf trooper who attached the pennant buck to the lanyards and haulec'. it back up the pole.

Regardless of hot deeds and words on the field, however, the players of both squads met in the center of the field at game's end and there was ill Szulborski. The triumph, record crowd ot i i it straight downfield remained. Starting out like their pants were on fire, the Boilermaker rammed 74 yards in seven plays after George Parker kicked off to Szulborski. Szulborski and Adams did all the carrying in this drive, Adams breaking off tackle for 47 yards once to the Indiana 19, where End Frank Hoppe brought him down. Four plays later Szulborski took a handoff and went inside tackle.

from the three to score. The wind caught Trbo-vich's high kick for point and carried it wide. Here Purdue used that "guess where" kick off. It caught the Hoosiers unawares. Quarterback Nick Sebek made a grab at the ball on his own 40, but fumbled and Guard Abe Gihron fell on it for Purdue on the Indiana 33.

CHEERED BY this success, the Riveters used but two plays to make it 12 to 0. It was Szulborski all the way. He hit the middle for three to the 30, then on the next play, cut to his right, putran Hoppe and shook ofi Halfback John McDonnell at the 10 for the touchdown. Again Trbovich' kick was high and wide. Indiana stalled the next Purdue drive by intercepting a pass and clipping helped the Hoosiers halt still another budding march.

Then early in the secrnd quarter, what looked to be a break for Indiana, turned out to be merely a challenge to Purdue's ferocious ground attack. Taliaferro's punt was taken on the Purdue 20, but a clipping penalty on Fullback Jack Milito pushed the'Riveters back to their own eight. UNDAUNTED, the Boilermakers covered those 92 yards to Indiana's' end zone in 20 plays. It was a great series of sweeps and off-tackle smashes by Szulborski, Adams and Kerestes. The touchdown came on the fourth down from the 18-inch line.

Indiana had been penalized half the distance to the goal from Turn to Page 10, Column 5 converginz on the play yards in five plays all passes, of which three were completed. Early in the third session, the Bucks roared from their own 21 to Michigan's 30, a Pandel Savic to Sonny Gandee pass for 22 yards featuring the drive, but Elliott intercepted Dirk Singer's pass to halt, the threat. The Wolves surged 62 yards in eight plays for their fourth-period touchdown which clinched the verdict.

Koceski hit.

Ohio rolled up 130 yards on Hie ground to 51 for Michigan, but the Wolves were out front, 116 yards to 73, through the air. Each side completed seven passes, Michigan in 16 attempts and Ohio in 20.

An offside penalty and two cracks at the line lost nine, setting the stage for Hague's kick. The Wolves, who failed to gain a yard on the ground the first half, never got beyond their own 40 in the opening quarter, but scored with a flah in the second. After Fullback Joe Whislcr punted out on the Michigan eight, Ortmann flipped a pass to End Dick Rifenburg who bumped the umpire and dropped the ball. Jimmy Clark recovered for Ohio on the Michigan 23, but after three plays the Bucks were back to the 30. Again Whisler booted out on the eight, but this time Ortmann's pass to Rifenburg was ruled complete on the 44 because of interference.

Then Quarterback Pole Elliott passed 13 to Ortmann. Two Ortmann passes failed, and then he smacked one to End Har ry Allis who took it on the 20 and raced over for the touchdown.

THE CHIEF I.U. offensive hope, Halfback George Taliaferro, was inserted at fullback in an attempt to fool the Riveters, but that was about the only surprise Indiana had for this climatic game. When Taliaferro had to be carried from the game late in the third quarter, even that novelty disappeared. Purdue's Stu Holcomb had several surprises for the Hoosiers, however, the most notable of which was the "guess where" kickoff. A variety of the on-side lxiot which the Boilermakers used with some success against.

Notre Dame this season, it twice worked to set up Purdue touchdowns and always kept Indiana in its own territory. The kick was made from the right side of the field. Tackle Pete Barbolak set the ball near the sidelines and went, back as if to kick it straight. But Tackle Rudy Trbovich also was lined up at a crossfield angle to step into the ball. BOTH BOYS ran up to the ball at once and although Trbovich always kicked it crossfield to about Indiana's 40, the possibility that Barbolak might boot the customary hand shaking and hack patting.

Purdue was grim and determined at the outset and the Boilermakers drew three 15-yard penalties in the lirst half for clipping or unnecessary roughness. It was Indiana who lost the heaviest, though, for IoIcc was sent out of the game for slugging Angelo C'arnaghi on the last play of the lirst half. Indiana had the distinction of having the shortest penalty of the first half just 18 inches. This came just before Bob DeMoss squirted over for the third Purdue touchdown and the Hoosiers were penalized half the distance of the goal for delaying the game. The Boilermakers were just a yard from a touchdown when the penalty was called.

Purdue's onsidc kick strategy worked almost to perfection all afternoon. This kick set up the first touchdown in 3 minutes and 20 seconds and the second just a minute later, both by the hard-running Harry Szulborski. Del Russell made a fair catch of the second-half opening kickoff and John McDonnell another after the Boilermakers had rolled the count to 26-0 in the third period. Jerry Morrical's fumbled fair catch after DeMoss beautiful run on a naked reverse, started the Boilermakers rolling for the linal tally. Had Purdue played as fiercely and hard in some of the oilier games this year, the Boilermakers definitely wouldn't have finished where they did in the Eig Nine.

Coach Stu Holcomb had nothing but praise for his team and agreed that the Boilermakers made few mistakes all afternoon. Very definitely they were keyed for this one and Indiana felt the full brunt of Purdue power. As for the Hoosiers, little can be said.
