Illinois' scathaeks notably 1f)0-ound Claude Voting kept Purdue from making an earlier rout as they caught the Boilermakers flat-footed with off-tackle slashes. But the mini could not stop a deadly aerial game and their costly fumbles stopjied at least three scoring chances. The Boilermakers started when Ed Cody slashed off guard for 34 yards and Ray Schultz fired a 45-yard pass to Chalmers Elliott for a touchdown. Four minutes later the Illini tied it on a forward-lateral play Don Greenwood to Louis Agase to Young, who scampered 24 yards for the touchdown.

In addition, Ohio State hall hawks hauled down threat Iowa passes and raced a total of 81 yard with the assorted interceptions. Even so the Hawks had their moments. At the half they were practically covered with whitewash.

They had little to their credit, their total offensive efforts amounting: to four vrrf Flighters ripped the Bomber line apart in a 65-yard march to a touchdown. Halfback Don Samuels, who made things tough for the Army all. day, skirted left end for 10 yards. Halfback Bob Sullivan dodged through the frantic Bombers for 30 yards to put the ball on the Army 25. Samuels faked a pass and got away around end for 14 yards.

CP) Tulsa's Golden Hurricane, aiming for a third consecutive undefeated season, overpowered the University of Kansas Saturday night, 27-0, with four full teams going into action. The big, seasoned Tulsa team ran up a 14-0 lead in the first period and after that it was only a question of how bad the Missouri Valley champions wanted to pour it on.

Iowa recovered, but it was the Buckeyes' ball anyway bo-cause the yardage had not been made. Threat Dies. That was the lone Iowa threat of a serious nature.
