Fisse) Hat Trick xfc By BILL EGGERT Star Sports Writer Iowa City, la. Notre Dame's chance to rise from .1 nobody to a somebody in football this season was thoroughly crushed yesterday by devastating Iowa's Big Ten conference champions, 18-8, here before 56,632 fans.

It was terribly one-sided as the Hawkeyes' point iotal was the most scored against the Irish since Army's 45-0 thump- Statistics lw Notrt Ooma. atwfti to IS lulfcmt vrdaM 40 301 -oitinff vafdata SO 91 at 4-1 7.1 oaa lntartaat4 by 3 0 unn 1-35 4-3t fu-blai Utt 0 1 Yarai aanalnad 3 70 ing in 1945. The Hawkeyes' margin of victory also equaled Oklahoma's 40-point advantage this season over Notre Dame. AND WHILE Iowa was flogging and using 40 players to do the job, it was given a clean-cut Big Ten championship as Ohio State was shut out by Michigan, 19-0. The Iowa triumph, propelled so well with speedy linemen, gave the tall-corn boys their best gridiron season in 1'.

Cris-pus Attucks, state high school basketball champs the last two years, saw its winning streak broken at 45 games here last night by a taller and more experienced Terre Haute Gerstmeyer team, 63-57. Attucks lost for the first time since Feb.

5, 1955 (when Connersville turned the trick), and the second time in 63 games only after a tremendous comeback in the fourth quarter. Attucks never had a lead and trailed by 14 points late in the third period in the celebrated high school basketball opener for both. MORE THAN 3,000 jammed into the Indiana State gym for the game everybody talked about since last March. Gerstmeyer squared the all-time series with Attucks, three games apiece, and the Indianapolis team has yet to win in its three Terre Haute appearances. Gerstmeyer got the job done on sensational work underneath by big Howard Dardcen, who led both teams with 24 points, 18 in the first half, plus some remarkable long shooting by Bill Newton with 19.

Newton's five straight buckets in the third and fourth quarters were livesavers for the home team. THE BIGGEST surprise in the Attucks camp was little I avern Benson (smallest boy on the floor at 5-8) who took charge for the state champs with 22 points. Benson got four buckets in five shots in the last quarter when Attucks gave Gerstmeyer a serious scare. Attucks had a 30-25 advantage on the boards but the Tigers also committed 16 er-rors, largely due to the inexperience at guard and perhaps all that pressure which goes with a 45-game winning streak. Had Attucks pressured Ge.st-meyer a little sooner in the fourth quarter the Tigers might have caught up.

But Coach Ray Crowe had one consolation. Attucks showed it could bounce back against what might well be the best team in the state. GERSTMEYER (no starter under 6-2) got off to a 21-13 lead at the quarter and had a comfortable 36-21 advantage at the half. Attucks shot only .258 with eight of 31 from the fleia in the first two quarters while Gerstmeyer popped 1 1 of 36 for .306. Dardeen got six of his 10 field attempts in the first half.

I. Hawkeyes had to punt only once. IT WASN'T stopped until with six minutes to play in the third quarter when Notre Dame's Frank i a tackle, spilled Iowa's Fred Harris in the end zone for a two-point safety. Notre Dame scored its only touchdown with a minute and half to go in the third quarter when Quarterback Larry Cooke passed 14 yards to Halfback Bob Ward.

Cooke and Bob Williams shared three-fourths of the Notre Dame quarterbacking because Paul Hornung again disclosed his right thumb. Iowa, which had a total of 409 yards gained rushing, divided its seven touchdowns among five players. QUARTERBACK Ken Ploen scored two on runs of 15 and 41 yards. Halfback Don Do-brino plunged from the one-yard line for one after Ploen set it up with a 32-yard dash. Harris scored two one on a 23-yard pass from Ploen and another on a brilliant 61-yard sprint that started as a quick opener through the left side of the Irish line.

After the gam the 240-pound line jockeys rode Mollenkopf clear to the dressing room, the victor in his first try against the Hoosiers and the man now has possession of a nine-game-Old Oaken Bucket string. Mollenkopf demanded three cheers for the seniors but the seniors drowned him out with three cheers "for Mollenkopf, then Bob Clasey presented him with the game ball. "I thought it was more of the same all over again in the first half," said Mollenkopf, "but we finally started getting the breaks in the third quarter. The good Lord finally came over to our side." LEN DAWSON and Lundy, two of the greatest Purdue players ever, both said they were going into pro football. Neither had any team resumed briefly in the penalty box before the gendarmes played kill-joy Lallo definitely got the worst of it in the ugly shape of a five-inch gash in the forehead.

The other altercation in the first period sent De-fenseman Jack Douglas of the Chiefs and Wing Gerry Frenette of the Hornets to the sin bin for five minutes each. Stankiewicz took a pass from the point and deflected it past Goalie Lou Crowdis of the Hornets from 15 feet out at 10:32 of the first period.

Purdue scored all six of its touchdowns without mounting a single sustained drive of long yardage. Purdue capitalized on three interceptions of Indiana passes, two Hoosier fumbles and one short punt.

INDIANA SCORED on a pass interception shortly before the end of the first half, and took advantage of a blocked punt for their second six-pointer. The final one was tallied on a 51-yard drive almost entirely through the air against Purdue substitute. Lundy and Nick Mumley, a 6-6 spohomore tackle, played outstanding games for Purdue in the line. Guard Dan Howell and End Brad Bomba looked best up front for Indiana. Bomba, the league's leading pass receiver going into the game, caught five tosses for 66 yards and one touchdown.

Howell played a terrific defensive game especially during the frrst half. Dawson completed six of his 17 passing attempts. They were good for a total of 98" yards and 12 points, however, and the brilliant quarterback from Alliance, added three more markers on point-after-touchdown kicks. A quartette of Hoosier passers Steve Filipowski, Tom McDonald, Jim Yore and Norm Mackin completed 10 of 24 aerials for 107 yards, but four of their pitches were intercepted. Only effective ground weapon for Crimmins' team was Bob Fee, the fullback converted from an end after last season, who picked up 70 yards in 16 carries for a 4.4 average.

Star Sports Editor West Lafayette, Ind. That offensive explosion which Pun-due fans had been awaiting with longing all year finally happened here yesterday, burying Indiana in the rubble of a 30-20 loss. Held to a 6-6 half time tie by the Hoosiers, an opportun- (Another story on Page 3) 1st tc Boilermaker team pounced on the breaks to score three touchdowns in five minutes during the third period and break the game wide open. It was the ninth straight triumph for Purdue in the Old Oaken Bucket series and the first victory of the year for the Riveters in Big Ten play. The win boosted the Boilermakers out of a tie for the conference cellar and dumped the Hoosiers into last place.

PURDUE ADDED two more touchdowns early in the fourth quarter. The game Hoosiers fought back to score a pair of their cwn after that but the issue had already been settled. This was the fifth consecutive Bucket loss of a Ber-nie Crimmons-coached team Rnd gave Purdue's first-year coach, Jack Mcllenkopf a 1.000 batting average in the traditional series. Lennie Dawson, Purdue's golden arm, fired two more touchdown passes in a fitting swan song to his collegiate career to increase his three-year total to 29 payoff pitches. But, the real workhorse in the high-scoring battle played in freezing weather was Mel Dillard, Purdue's slightly-built junior fullback.

Dillard broke the all-time Boilermaker record for the number of rushes during one season, racking up 130 yards in 24 carries yesterday. That gave him a total of 873 yards in nine games on a total of 193 trips for an average of 4.5 yards a crack. Dillard, a 187 -pounder from Chicago, scored the first Purdue touchdown with a three-yard plunge early in the opening quarter and ripped through the middle for 22 yards and another six-pointer in the decisive third period. He also raced 13 yards for a third touchdown. Another Boilermaker star was Lamar Lundy, the giant 6-7 end from Richmond who closed out his college football career in a blaze of glory by catching two touchdown passes and playing his usual tremendous game on defense.

Purdue also won the battle of statistics, outrushing the Hoosiers 173 yards to 60 and having only a four-yard deficit In the air with 103 yards to Indiana's 107. It was the usual twin bugaboo of fumbles and pass Care-Free Mollenkopf Is Cheered By Players By JEP CADOU JR. Sports Editor Myron Stankiewicz, the youngest player on the Indianapolis hockey team, got the "hat trick" last night as the Chiefs stood off a last-period Huntington rally to win 5-4 at the Coliseum. The 20-year-old left wing scored once in each period to pace the Chiefs' attack. It was their 10th victory against 5 losses and 1 tie, giving them Dawson, who holds no illusions about glory and such, said simply he wanted to play for the pro team that "offered the most scratch." Lundy said he would play in ne post-season games because he would lose his basketball eligibility and added, "I think the coach might need me." The coach, Ray Eddy, was right beside and agreed wholeheartedly.

Eddy was also thankful to Mollenkopf for returning his star center in the same condition as when Eddy turned him loose this fall. Mai Dillard easily received the most dressing room congratulations. But marvelous Mel, the leading ground gainer in the Big Ten, was content to stay in a corner and let the seniors have the moment of glory. After all, he'll be" around another year, and the very thought of it will make Mollenkopf sleep peacefully all winter. League Standings I Pu.

BOB BOWNESS, who was taken off the Line" in favor of Palladino for the first time last night, was set up beautifully by the veteran Pete Wywrot at 9:50 of the second and beat Crowdis easily after Pete had faked the net-minder out of position. That gave the Chiefs a 3- 0 margin.

Garnet Schai blasted a slap shot for the Hornets from 50 feet out at a 45-degree angle to the right at 17:20 and it got past Goalie Cliff Hicks of the Chiefs, who has had better nights in the nets than this one.

The clock was hurrying out the final minutes and the Purdue bench had come down with a slight case of pandemonium. Lamar Lundy, the humorist, called Jack Mollenkopf, the excitable, over and remarked, "Hey coach be careful.

We've used all our timeouts." Jack started to jump, then smiled and answered, "Who cares?" FOR THE FIRST time this year Mollenkopf could afford not to care. This Purdue ter-m, to which he repeatedly said something wonderful would happen, had shaken its frustrations and was clobbering Indiana. In a few minutes the clock would run straight 'up and the scoreboard would read, Purdue 39, Indiana 20. Only the Purdue coach could know the weet feeling of fi.
