VP) Purdue opened its Western conference championship drive Saturday by defeating uie nam ligntmg Illinois eleven, 7 to 0. The Boilermakers dominated the play more than the score in dicated, but fumbles at critical times exacted heavy toll. The Illini, strong on defense, showed little in running or aerial attack that Purdue could not meet suc cessfully. Score In Second Period. The only points of the game were made in the second period, when two long passes, both Heck er to Moss, placed the ball only 16 yards away from the Illinois goal.

Three running plays, with Hecker, Moss and Yunevich carrying the ball, gave the Boilermakers first down on the 4-yard line. Purvis, on the next play, went wide around left end for the touchdown and Hecker place-kicked for the extra point. It was late in the same period that the Illini made one of their two big rallies. Berry started things by circling end for 15 yards and Evans, who had replaced Dave Cook at right half back, took a pass from Horsley and was downed on the Purdue 35-yard line after a gain of 27 yards. Three Illinois passes were battered down and the flash was over.

Scoring Ends. The ball changed hands several times, neither team making any large gains, and as the gun sounded ending the first quarter and all scoring for the game, the ball was in Des Moines' possession on its own 15-yard line.

Staff Writer.) Putting on a concentrated drive in the fourth quarter which netted them 35 yards and a touchdown, the North High Polar Bears started on their 1931 city series trek at the Drake stadium Saturday night with an 8 to 0 victory over the hard fighting Lincoln High school eleven.

It was a hard driving lad called Davey, who replaced Captain Tidrick at fullback In the North lineup when the latter a-rain injured his knee in the third nnarter. that brought the Polar Bears their touchdown. Time after time he knifed his way through the tackles for neat gains and did most of the ball lugging in North's 35-yard advance, although Wright, quarterback, scored the touchdown. Take Lead on Safety. Getting a 2 to 0 lead on a safety early In the first quarter when Park, Lincoln fullback, attempted to punt from behind his own goal line and fumbled the dippery ball.

North nursed its advantage until the start of the final period when It added six more points to the total. Recovering a partially blocked Lincoln punt on the Railsplitters' 35-yard' line at the start of the fourth period Davey plowed tackle for a neat gain and North's touchdown drive was on. Dnvey, in two tries, put the ball on Lincoln's 25-yard stripe. He! then picked up six yards on a plunge and after Wright had failed to gain, cut back through tackle for a first down on the Railsplitters' 13-yard line. On the next play he knifed his way through left tackle for four more yards, putting the ball on Lin coin's 7-yard marker.

A hole was then opened at right tackle and Davey shot through it for four more yards. Worden picked up snother to make it first and goal on the 2-yard stripe. On the next play Davey dived over the enter of the line putting the tip of the ball on Lincoln's goal line and then Wright crashed over on a quarterback sneak for a touchdown. The placekick for the extra point was blocked but with an eight-point lead and less than a quarter to play the Tolar Bears rode to victory. Tut lp Gallant Fight.

The Railsplitters put up a gallant fight but found the North High line a veritable stone wall most of the time and especially at the crucial moments. Lincoln riously threittened late in the third quarter, taking the ball to North's 4-yard line after a 25-yard penalty had given them a first down on North's 26-yard line, but the Polar Bear line tightened and held the Railsplitters for downs. That was Lincoln's only scoring gesture and elglit of the yards made in that 22-yard advance were gained on a pass, Hall to German, which put the ball on the 13-yard line. Venn then skirted right end for eight yards hut three attempts at the line failed and Lincoln's threat was ended. North did most of the ball earning in the first half, Lincoln being content to punt whenever it had possession of the ball and await a break.

The Three Musketeers. Davey, Tidrick and Worden did he majority or the lugging for the Polar Bears, each making many nice gains through the line, mostly at the tackles with Cib-on, Scott, Ganschow and Earl opening up the holes. Ganschow also played a good defensive game along with Anderson and Scott. A new lad, Ven'n, playing half, turned in a good performance for Lincoln on the offensive, making several Jaunts around the end besides doing the kicking after Park was injured and forced from the (Continued on Page 2) Salt Lake City Pair Defeat Burke, Von Elm SALT LAKE CITY (I.N.S.l Harry Borgue and Ralph Pug mire, two local golfers, Saturday won from Blllie Burke and George Von Elm in an exhibition golf match here, 3 and 2.

and BY BKKT M'GRAXK. (Staff Representative.) FAIR PARK BOWL, DALLAS TEX. The geared combination of a defiant Dixie sun and a whirling Texas A. and M. football team proved too much for the University of Iowa's crippled forces here Saturday and the Texans earned a 29 to 0 decision.

Iowa, weakened by injuries and slowed noticeably by the unseason able heat, saw its goal line crossed once in the first quarter, twice in the second stanza and again in the fourth period. On top of that an Aggie drive, stopped on the goal line late in the game, was convert ed into points anyway when the Texans swarmed through to block an Iowa punt for an automatic safety in the closing minutes of the game. Defy Heat. The Texans were superior in virtually every department. They defied the heat in their powerful drives down the field, usually mashing their interference for thrusts through the Iowa tackles Iowa's line was outplayed at al most every stage and the blocking of the Aggies when they were cut ting paths for their ball carriers was spectacular.

The fact that the Aggies made 17 first downs against two for Iowa speaks for itself. On top of that, the Texans ripped and whirled through the Hawkeye wall for 278 yards from scrimmage while the best efforts of the Iowa backs could make only 63 yarns. When the occasion demanded, the Aggies showed the fans a thing or two about open football. They launched seven passes completing five for 68 yards. One of the five passes brought the Aggies a touchdown when Williams streaked into the end zone and pulled down a pass from Murray.

One Offensive Flush. From Iowa standpoint, it was a defensive game nearly all the way. Only one brief flash of offensive punch was shown. That came in the second quarter. Just after the Aggies had marked up their third touchdown.

After Thurtle had returned the klckoff to Iowa's 2a-yard line. Moffitt broke away for r. 14-yard advance before he was chased out of bounds by the Texans. Then Moffitt tossed a pass to Thurtle for 19 yards to give Iowa the ball on the Aggies' 38-yard line. Those thrusts were the only first downs made by Iowa and they marked the only time the Ilawkeyes were inside the Aggies' 40-yard line.

Spectacular Catch. McFadden paved the way for the first Texas touchdown in the first quarter. He leaped high into to air to catch a pass from Aston out of the hands of two Iowa defenders. That spectacular bit of work took place on Iowa's 9-yard line. Then McFadden smashed through to the 5-yard line and Aston picked his way through for a touchdown A pass to Barfield and power ful thrusts by Aston took the ball down the field again and Just after the second period got tinder way the Aggies scored again.

With the ball on their 10-yard line the Ilawkeyes stopped the Texans twice but on third down Aston ripped through Iowa's left tackle, was brushed by one Iowa tackier as he crossed the 6-yard stripe but he kept his feet and crossed the goal standing up. Score A pass, Graves to" Bell, put the ball on Iowa's 1-yard line late In the second quarter and Graves plowed the remaining distance. The last Aggie touchdown came In the fourth quarter.

Old Burleigh Grimes, the 37-year-old master of the spltball, was the hero of the final victory for the high flying Red Birds. He scored his second triumph of the series over the Mackmen, to avenge his 1930 setbacks, but weakened in the ninth and was relieved by Southpaw Bill Hallahan.

The southpaw, who twice had whipped the Athletics, came to the rescue with two out, the tying run on first base, and ended the game by forcing Max Bishop to fly out to Pepper Martin.
