on downs to Purdue's 3. All told, Iowa made 20 first downs, 15 of them with its running attack. And if the bristling ground guns were not impressive enough, the Hawks came up with a remarkable passing attack which resulted in seven completions in nine attempts. Actually, Purdue crossed midfield only three times and never was much of a threat. The deepest Boilermaker penetration was to Iowa's 25-yard line.

The Haw-ks ran for total gains of 250 yards from scrimmage and 70 more on passes. Purdue's running attack netted only 80 yards Purdue had its hands on the ball only briefly before Iowa was on the way again. This time the Hawks took over when George Buksar punted to Iowa's 38, where Bob Smith was dropped in his tracks by a battling Boilermaker. The Iowa march was relentless. Five consecutive first downs were unfurled with the features being Tunnell's steady gains and his passes to Bob Phillips, Sherman Howard and Dick Hoerner.

With the ball on Purdue's 14, Hoerner was through like a rifla shot for 10. One play later Tunnell out raced swarming Purdue trespassers behind the fa ma. line, raced for Purdue's left end, and fought his way through a wall of Boilermakers for his second touchdown. Sullivan kicked the final point. That's what happened in a scoring way, but the way it happened left even Iowa partisans a bit confounded.

This Iowa team was something very close to a great football team. The most startling thing of all, to this observer, wras the line play. The Iowa forwards practically tore the Boilermakers apart. four consecutive first downs and put the ball on Purdue's seven-yard line For an instant there they faltered. Dick Hoerner was nailed for a six-yard loss.

Two plays more put the ball back on Purdue's five-yard line with g-oal to go. Instead, the Hawks elected to place-kick. Bob Sullivan spun the ball through the posts, standing back on the 14-yard stripe, and Iowa had three points. Sullivan, far too much, for Purdue to handle, departed from the game immediately to appear only briefly in the closing stages. In came Emlen Tunnell.

The Negro newcomer wasn't able to accomplish much in an offensive way for a time, the first half ending with Iowa holding an unpretentious 3-0 edge. It was in the last half that the coast guard veteran gave Purdue the works. The third quarter had barely started when Tunnell took command of the Boilermakers. He was cruising along behind when Bob Smith, who had fielded a punt for Iowa, was hit by a furious tackle. The impact doubled Smith, who lost the ball.

Tunnell grabbed the bounding ball and raced to Iowa's 40-yard line. After a moment or so, he scared Purdue with a pass threat, then raced 15 yards around end. He went for shorter gains, then for 10, then rifled a pass to Dick Hoerner for a first down on Purdue's 18. On fourth down, next, he passed to Bob Phillips for a first down on the six, two plays later he faked another pass and wheeled outside Purdue's right end for a touchdown. Sullivan came in to try the goal kick, but jmissed and Iowa led, 9-0.

By Bert McGrane. (Staff Writer.) IOWA CITY, IA. Iowa, the team that was scorned by the experts, struck and engrilfed P.urdue with the savageness of a. mounting storm here Saturday, leaving the Boilermakers stunned and beaten in a 16-0 conquest. Spearheaded by a line that was next to invincible on this particular mission, and backed by smashing tackles that fairly snapped the shoe laces of the Purdue backs, Iowa forced a quick revision of the Western conference Who's Who with a triumph that was more decisive than the score reflects.

The Hawks took command from the opening minute, rocked Purdue to its heels with their aggressiveness and stepped up their momentum as the battle raged. When it was over, the 36.000 in the stands were half convinced that another story book Iowa team Is in the making possibly a stronger unit than the famed Ironmen of '39. Whether they can do it again remains to be seen, but this time there was no need whatever for the Hawks to fulfill Ironmen assignments. The reserves were there, amply adequate to offset anything Purdue could offer in the way of replacements. It was Purdue that held the favorite's role, and by a 13-point margin, when the test began.

But it was Iowa that had a heavy superiority over the Boilermakers in virtually everything when the payoff came. The Hawks, matched in first downs in the opening half, smothered the Boilermaker defense in the last half and rolled up 13 first MACHINE GUN PHOTOS See Page 10 and its six pass completions grossed only 35 yards for an overall total of 115. Iowa lost no time at all in demonstrating its superiority. The Hawks kicked off, forced Purdue to punt, and took over the ball when the kick rolled out of bounds on Iowa's 32. The mashing of Purdue proceeded forthwith.

The Hawks drilled horne with dashes by Bob Sullivan and Bob Smith. They rode ahead on Sullivan's passes when variety was required. They lost the longest run of the game, a 35-yard jaunt by Bob Smith because of a penalty, but they came right back, ripped off STATISTICS.

This was particularly true in the line. The difference in speed was mosV noticeable when the Notre Dame backs frequently evaded the lumbering Illinois tacklers with ridiculous ease.

As a result, most of the play in the final three periods was in the Illinois end of the gridiron.
