Crimson Scores on Safety, Place Kick and Touchdown Dash Veller, Babb, Opasik Star. BY ALBERT W. BLOEMKER, Assistant Sports Editor, The Star. MEMORIAL STADIUM, BLOOM-INGTON, Oct. aerial thrusts and brilliant slashes through the line by Don Veller and Jesse Babb gave Indiana university gridmen a 12-to-0 triumph over Iowa here this afternoon before a Home- coming day crowd of 10,000 fans.

The Hawkeyes, never beaten by the Hoosiers in five previous contests, outplayed the Crimson-clad proteges of Coach E. C. Hayes in the first quarter but Indiana found its stride early in the second session and was in complete command during the remainder of the battle. Veller, Babb Lead Attack. Veller and Babb led the Crimson running attack but many of their teammates shared the spotlight.

Bob Jones and Gene Opasik, who did almost all of Indiana's passing, backed up a none-too-impressive forward wall and largely were responsible for stopping the visitors' goal-ward marches. Bill Spannuth repulsed the Hawkeye plunges at center and Fitz Lyons, husky Negro end, played a superb game at one of the wings. George Teyro led the Iowa attack but he was not given sufficient assistance to prove really dangerous at any time. Bob Laufek and Capt. Marcus Magnussen shared defensive Variety Features Scoring.

Indiana had trouble getting started but the entire team suddenly snapped into form after Opasik's long pass to Dickey in the second quarter and then the Hoosiers proceeded to score in every possible manner. The first two points came on an Iowa safety after the Hawkeyes had been pushed back to within Inches of the goal. Fitz Lyons contributed the next three tallies with a twenty-flve-yard field goal from placement. Veller added six in the third quarter with a twenty-four-yard touchdown dash, and Lyons then finished the scoring with a placement kick for the extra point. It is doubtful if any other game this season will embrace such a variety of point-winning plays.

Crimson Shows Superiority. The final score tells the story of the game there was just about that much difference between the two teams but here are the figures for the contest, showing the Hoosiers superior on the ground as well as in the air. Indiana Iowa First downs 14 8 Passes Attempted 11 10 Passes completed 7 6 Yards gained by 129 59 Yards gained by 153 112 I Yards lust by 35 55 The tackling of both teams was good but neither eleven blocked effectively and it was only the individual brilliance of the ball carriers that made possible most of the gains by rushing. The victory partially avenged four losses and a scoreless tie against the Hawkeyes since 1912 and also kept the Crimson record fof the season unmarred by defeat, although the Hoosiers have been held to a draw by Ohio Iowa Takes Klckoff. Iowa elected to receive the initial kickoff and the Hawkeyes held the upper hand throughout the first quarter.

Laws returned Lyons's kick to his own thirty-eight-yard line and on the second play sprinted around Indiana's right flank for twelve yards. Three plunges netted only five yards and Teyro kicked to within fifteen yards of the goal. After two unsuccessful smashes Jones of Indiana attempted a quick kick but the ball went out of bounds on the thirty-six-yard line. Three plays netted seven yards for the Hawkeyes but a penalty for back field in motion stopped their march and Teyro kicked over the goal line. Indiana took the ball on the twenty-yard line and benefited by a fifteen-yard penalty because an Iowa lineman used his hands illegally.

Fuqua advanced to the forty-yard stripe, but Jones fumbled and Magnussen recovered for the visitors. Teyro and Laws gained eight yards; CONTINUED ON PAGE 22. IS Wcy lJyi2X ill I'Xtt TO 71 Horstmann Paves Way to Victory With Touchdown Plunge Before 18,000 Home-Coming Crowd. BY W. BLAINE PATTON, Sports Editor The Star.

ROSS-ADE STADICM, West Lafayette, Oct. 15. Before a wildly enthusiastic, colorful "and cheering throng estimated at 18,000 home-coming football fans, Purdue' great eleven maintained its clean slate In tho race for the Western Conference gridiron supremacy by turning back a stubborn Wisconsin foe out of the North by the slim margin of 7 to 6 here this beautiful October afternoon. The educated toe of Paul Pardon-ner, the Middletown (O.) sharpshoot er, gave xne the extra point they needed after a well-earned touchdown in the second quarter. Incidentally it was his fourteenth in fifteen attempts as a member of the local institution and is said to be a record.

Badgers Count on Passes. Wisconsin evened up with a touchdown on two sensational passes In the closing seconds of the first half but the chance to deadlock the score was lost when the place kick went wide. It was a thrilling encounter In every sense of the word with the Boilermakers having the shade in th first half and the second portion of the tilt slightly in favor of the invaders from Madison. They threatened several times and had the homa athletes kicking from the danger zone on several occasions as a result of the fino accuracy with which the Hawaiian flash, Walter McGuire, booted the ball' out of bounds. However, the Badgers lacked the punch, to tnke advantage of several oppor tunities.

Purdue Shows Supremacy, An analysis of tho entire gams shows that the best team won. Purdue played smart football and piled up thirteen first downs earned without penalty against live' for Wisconsin. A complete recapitulation of the figures of the game by quarters showing its progress in the various stages with relation to penalties, first downs, gains and failures by the aerial route is shown, in the following chart: First Quarter.

First Half-With a stiff wind at their backs the Boilermakers received the opening kickoff and took the ball to midflcld as a result of one first down aided by a penalty and another on short gains by Heck-er, Purvis and Horstman.

Moss then made a beautiful out of bounds punt to tho Wisconsin four-yard line and the Badgers were forced to kick from behind their own goal. Purdue lost the ball when Purvis fumbled following an exchange in penalties. The home athletes attempted a long forward pass, which was grounded, but the visitors were offside on the play prior to the fumble. Moore took the place of Purvis in the back field for the Old Gold and Black. Purdue Kicks Out of Danger.

Oct. a thrilling, desperately-fought football battle high above the Hudson this afternoon, Army's hard-charging forces had the answer for everything the Pittsburgh Panthers offered except the combination of Warren Heller, versatile halfback, and Joe Skladany, elusive end.

These two stars combined to produce three touchdowns, offset the Cadets' spectacular comeback, and give Pittsburgh its fourth successive victory of the season, 18 to 13.
