Irish. Sucks Squeak; Longhorns St ampe ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH ports BOB BROEG. Editor Purdue's touchdown came on a 96-yard kickoff return by halfback Stan Brown late in the first quarter, only 12 seconds after the Buckeyes scored their TD on a 26-yard run by fullback John Brocidngton. Purdue took over the ball deep in Ohio State territory four times during the game twice on blocked punts, once on a fumble by quarterback Rex Kern but each time the Buckeye defense rose to the occasion.

Purdue kicker Jeff Jones missed his only field-goal attempt, from 54 yards, on the final play of the first half. Schram was wide on his first two attempts, both in the third quarter. The Boilermakers remained in the Big Ten cellar with a 1-5 mark. They are 3-6 overall. Notre Dame refused to push the panic button against an anjjused Georgia Tech team and preserved its perfect record with a chilling fourth-quarter comeback in South Bend, Ind.

66-yard touchdown pass from Eddie McAshan, Tech's sophomore quarterback, to Larry Studdard late in the third quarter had given the twice-beaten Yellowjackets a 7-3 lead. With its No. 1 ranking in jeopardy, Notre Dame traveled 80 yards in seven plays midway through the final quarter for the decisive touchdown. The play that started the series was a 46-yard pass from Joe Theismann to Ed Gulyas, who made a sensational catch sitting on the ground at the Tech 34. A two-yard run by Dennis Allan brought the Irish the score with 6:28 remaining.

The sellout crowd of 59,075 had to survive a final scare, however. A 10-yard Notre Dame punt into the swirling wind gave Tech possession at the Irish 43 with 2:48 to go. But on first down, the Jackets tried a trick play a handoff and pitchback to McAshan for a long pass that resulted in no pass and a 13-yard loss. Two plays later, Clarence Ellis, the Notre Dame corner-" back who had been beaten earlier on Studdard's touchdown, leaped high and intercepted a McAshan pass at the Irish 27. The Irish then ran out the clock.

Tech held the Irish, who had averaged 41 points a game, to their lowest score in 36 games, although Theismann amassed 239 yards total offense. The game was scoreless for a half. Finally, with 3:20 left in the third quarter, Scott Smith, a sophomore soccer-style placekicker, booted a 34-yard field goal for Notre Dame. The margin looked safe until McAshan dropped back fired long to Studdard, who caught the ball at the Irish 28 and. outran Mike Crotty for the score.

The three football teams locked in a battle for the No. 1 spot in the college ratings Notre Dame, Texas and Ohio State all scored victories.

The difference in the way they managed it might cause some shuffling of their rankings this week, however. Ohio State pulled out a 10-7 triumph over gutty Purdue and Notre Dame came from behind to beat Georgia Tech by the same score. Texas rumbled past Texas Christian, 58-0. In last week's polls, Notre Dame and Texas were tied for first in one and the Irish ranked just ahead of Texas in the other. Ohio State was a strong third in both ratings.

All three teams have 8-0 records. At Lafayette, Fred Schram's game-winning field goal was hardly over the crossbar and the victorious but badly scared Ohio State Buckeyes hardly back in their dressing room when the telephone rang. Calling was a sports fan named Richard M. Nixon, who had been watching the Ohio State cliffhanger in his home at Washington, D.C. Not every fan can pick up the telephone and call Woody Hayes when OSU wins a big one, but for the President of the United States it is different.

The Ohio State coach thanked the President warmly and SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1970 PAGES 11 OF asked if he would be at Columbus, 0., next Saturday When the Buckeyes take on Michigan in a Big Ten conference showdown of unbeaten titans. The President said he didn't think he could make it Then he asked to talk to Schram, whose 30-yard field goal through the murk of Ross-Ade Stadium with just two minutes four seconds remaining to play saved the day for Ohio State. Nixon also rang up Purdue Coach Bob DeMoss.

What might have been Montreal's best chance of the period came at the 15-minute mark when speedy Marc Tardif snared a lead pass and streaked alone on aHll.

With a 's defeat, Valek has an 8-31 record with the Illini, who now have a 3-6 showing this season, with a windup game slated at Iowa next Saturday.

Illinois, without a healthy regular at defensive tackle, kept Wisconsin's rushing game under control for three quarters, even turning back the Badgers at the one-yard line in a spirited last-shot by the defense. But the Illini finally were, overrun for two fourth period touchdowns as darkness fell. The Badgers in the fourth quarter collected 95 yards of their 267-yard total rushing net for the afternoon with Alan (A Train) Thompson running 36 yards for the lockup touchdown midway in the period. Wisconsin's yardage was the most the illini have permitted any opponent this season except Ohio State, which ran for 347 in a 48-29 victory here. And the Badgers got their total the hard way, running out of a hole after Illinois had left them with a minus eight yards on their first three possessions.

Illinois at that stage was a spirited bunch of cripples. On the first play and it's Valek's offense that has been criticized as unimaginative Bob Burns hustled off for a 31-yard gain to the Wisconsin 21 on a flanker-around reverse. Willie Osley, starting in place of injuryhob-bled Darrell Robinson at tailback, then sprinted to the 12. On their third offensive play, the Illini completed 2-yard rumble, with fullback Mike Navarro strolling to daylight through a wide opening on the right side of the line. Throttled by the Badgers on their next possession, the Illini had to wait for a punt exchange to again set up shop at their 48.
