Kansas State at the Stadium. Getting a "lift" from Drake's Gene Hendrix is the Wildcats' Kenny Long, who failed in his attempt to block the pass.

DRAKE PASS CLICKS Don Diedrich of Drake (left) passes to end Jerry Mertens for a six-yard touchdown in Friday, night's, game with OMaho Choice ma Big By Maury White. Kansas State won a foot-hall game almost as soon as it started Friday night but Drake' young Bulldogs made it an interesting contest. Not close, mind you, for the ground powerful Big Seven team won, 53-18, but the slim turnout of 2,500 fans managed to stay in good voice as Drake fought back from a horrible start. Even Worse. Horrible? It was worse than that.

At the end of seven minutes Kansas State had run exactly six plays from scrimmage but had crossed the goal three times to construct a 20-0 lead. A 190-pound fullback named Doug Roether romped 65 yards to score the first time he touched the ball and the second time it was handed to him he zipped 51 to set up another marker. Fella Bob Dahnke, who plays halfback, ran IS yards around end on the following play for that touchdown. Then a couple of minutes later halfback Corky Taylor cruised 7S curving yards to score. The future looked anything but bright for the Bulldogs, but darned if they didn't recover a couple fumbles, open up with a passing attack and Gene Hendrix' power running, and close it to 20-12.

Purdue Is really dangerous. This observer saw the Boilermakers lose tot Wisconsin in mid-October, 30-6, but left the field not too sure but that Purdue was Just as good team, perhaps better than the Badgers.

Never did an eleven receive more disheartening breaks than did Coach Stu Holcomb's aggregation that day. It played without two regular linemen, tackle Frank Paparazzo and guard Dick Shibinskl, and after a few plays in the second quarter fullback Bill Murakowski was through for the afternoon because of a char-ley horse. The Boilermakers are said now to be in their best physical condition of the season. AGAINST Wisconsin, penalties played havoc with Purdue. Early in the second quarter, John Bridewesser of Purdue got away a long punt Clary Bratt signaled for a fair catch on his 29-yard line but was tackled by an over-eager Boilermaker.

IOWA CITY, IA. Another sellout crowd was a certainty and another great football game was in prospect late Friday as Iowa and Purdue readied themselves for their meeting at 1:30 p.

m. today in the main event of the forty-third annual Hawkeye homecoming. The last ticftet (the stadium seats 63,000) had been sold nearly 24 hours before as Coach Forest Evashevskl called his Hawks together for a squad meeting Friday afternoon, then staged a light dress rehearsal in the stadium after briefing them on game plans. First Since '50. Fop the highly regarded Boilermakers, the game marks the first appearance of a Purdue football team here since 1950, Iowa having appeared at Lafayette during the three previous seasons.

Stopped only once all season in a 20-8 setback at Wisconsin, Purdue enters the game as a slight favorite. Boilermaker figures show a line that averages 207, fronting a talented back-field that averages 178. Shade Less. Iowa, which compares favorably with the Boilermakers in size and boasting a record only a shade less impressive than Purdue's, probably has not been called upon to face a combination of passing strength and power running such as Purdue is prepared to employ. The Hawks, who have conducted themselves quite com-mendably against the passing specialists they have met to date, face their first meeting with Lenny Dawson, the sophomore quarterback who has become one of the nation's sensations.

Dawson, In the space of six games, not only took over at quarterback but moved right in with the best college pass- IOWA Continued on Page Eleven. ler, director of athletics; Max Hawkins, alumni representative and George (Binkey) Breeder, captain of the football squad had appeared on the program before Bill Gray, Cedar Rapids attorney, presented the keys to Coach Evashevski. The committee which headed up the presentation project reportedly included Gray, Howard Hall of Cedar Rapids and George Foerstner of Amana. Evashevskl's assistants also will be rewarded, it was reported. Each of them will be presented with a household appliance such as an electrlo stove, refrigerator, deep freeze unit or television set.

The move to formally 'recognize the efforts of Evashevski and his assistants began when the team lost consecutive games to Michigan and Ohio State, a spokesman said. The project, he said, was born of a desire to show the staff that win or lose, Hawkeye fans are with them. mriT CHANGE IN BOYS PREP CAGE TOURNEY Discuss Two New Plans Here. There was a hint Friday that the Iowa High School Athletic Association is plan ning, to change its basket-ball tournament setup before the boys begin their eliminations this winter. A reliable source reported that the executive council of the association discussed these two possibilities during a meeting in Des Moines Friday: 1.

Divide the state high schools into four classes, instead of the present three as based school enrollment The four would send two teams each to eight sub-state tournaments, with the win ners comprising an eight-team state finals. t. Also divide the schools into four classes, but each would determine a champion in its class. This would be done by each class sending two teams to the finals and playing for the separate championships. Then the four titlists would meet to pick one state champion.

The source, who asked that his name not bt used, said the first plan was more popular among the council members. "I think you will be safe in saying that one of these two plans probably will be adopted," he said. Lyle ftuinn, executive secretary of the boys association, said the council did discuss some changes In the tournament, but he did not elaborate. "The council left the matter to the board of control to decide at their next meeting," Quinn said. Up to Board.

Quinn pointed out that the board has the power to enact legislation to change the tour nament setup this season. It was believed, however, that the two proposed changes drew heavy support from the council. At present the high schools are divided into three classes AA, A and B. In recent years Class AA, the 40 largest schools In the state, has sent five teams to the fi nals. Class with schools over 100 enrollment, also gained five berths with six Class schools (under 100) completing the 16- team field.

This has been the plan since the late 1940s. Several years before that the tourney consisted of four Class A four Class A and eight Class teams. Quinn also revealed that no decision was reached by the council members on the possible shift of the state finals from Iowa City to Des Moines. Quinn said a committee will be appointed to make a study to see if seats would be available in time at the new Des Moines Memorial Auditorium so that a contract can be drawn up.

VA. UP) An experiment in being nice was practiced Friday between two high school football opponents. As Hilton Murphy, coach of Devilbiss High of Toledo, Ohio, led his players off the train Friday morning they were met by Coach Russ Parsons and his Stonewall Jackson squad. The Charleston high school had paid the fares. The visitors didn't have any hotel reservations.

Coach Murphy went home with Coach Parsons. The assistant coaches, managers and players did likewise with their opposite members of Stonewall Jackson. The Toledo visitors will eat and sleep off their opponents until tonight. They banged each other around on the gridiron Friday night, but today they'll be buddies again. The Ohioans will be shown "High school teams can't afford long trips," says Murphy.

"But if we can work out some arrangements like with the courteous touch, and also give our kids an educational trip In some distant city, I think we've accomplished something good." Murphy carries his courtesy to his scoreboards. Most designate the invaders as "opponents" or "visitors." On the scoreboards at Devilbiss they're called "guests." 2 o'clock.
