14 'A A band of Iowa Pre-Flight School opportunists, who took advantage of two of their three scoring chances with quick thrusts in the second and fourth periods and then turned back Purdue University's vaunted offense, handed the Boilermakers a 13-6 defeat in Ross-Ade Stadium today. The Seahawks gained their fourth triumph in five starts by virtue of a 54-yard runback of a phsr interception by halfback Bob Sullivan and a 24-yard thrust through the middle by fullback Bernard (Bus) Mertes. PURDUE SCORES VIA AIR Purdue was able to score only through the air as Alex Kapter, George Strohmyer and company closed the doors on Cecil Isbell's tremendous Purdue ground attack. The lone Purdue tally came in the second period on a pass from quarterback Ray Schultz to halfback Boris Dim-ancheff which covered 67 yards. The Boilermakers came to life Continued on Page 3, Column Baltimore Challenge Refused by Cardinals BALTIMORE.

Oct. 14 (A. It was a great idea to the slightly berserk baseball public of Baltimore but the proposed game between its own little world champions and the St. Louis Cardinals, the big world champions, won't come off. Mayor Theodore R.

Quarterback Eddie Law less called for a pass, Skippy Minis! to Jack Rosenthal; this failed, but it served not only to open the Indians up it caused them to send their ends in wide to stop those running passes. The Quakers spent the rest ol the afternoon running inside end. mouse-trapping tackles, and sufficiently often to encourage the visitors in tactics designed to stop running passes, sweeDing around the flanks, shooting aerials into the flat and diagonally across the line. QUAKERS INSATIABLE The result was just what the score would indicate. The Red and Blue, 18-7 victor over Duke and 20-6 conqueror of Dartmouth In earlier games, rolled to its most decisive triumph.

The Quakers scored 4 minutes 54 seconds after the start, recorded two more touchdowns in the second quarter, three more in the third and then, with a team of sub stttutes on the field, tapered off with yet another in the final quar ter. Seven touchdowns the Pennsylva nians pushed across two by hard running, 19-year-old Navy V-12 Trainee Al Sica. one each by brilliant 17-year-old Freshman Minlsi, teeth-rattling Blocker Jack Rosenthal, glue-fingered End Wayne Hel-man, pivoting 18-year-old End Dave Jamieson and alert Substitute Tackle Joe Dickerson. PENN NEVER PRESSED Only three times in the whole game did the Indians contrive to get past midfleld: once late in the second quarter when a series of passes got them as tar as Penn's 26; once midway in the fourth period when a 25-yard reverse play, Graham Morris to Adolph Null, penetrated to the Quakers' 37 before 17-year-old Sub Center Henry Rossell intercepted a pass; and, finally, just before the game ended, when they Just reached the Red and Blue 49 on a series of spot flips by Bob Piefke. followed by a lateral from Ed Hlntenberger to Jack Hoey.

Thus Penn never was in any real danger, although Coach George Munger died a thousand deaths before the kickoff. "Then." he admitted afterwards, "we got a couple touchdowns, and it began to look easy." It looked so easy, in fact, that Munger exhausted his bench of substitutes before the finish. Forty-two Quakers, in all, saw action including the extra-point specialists, George Opel and Bill Otton, who remained in the game after making good three of six placements. But even so, the afternoon was pot entirely satisfactory to the O's, Opel and Otton, for following the seventh touchdown, their duties were usurped by a couple of regulars.

The University of Notre Dame's Fighting Irish ran up their highest point total since 1932 as they crushed Dartmouth College, 64-0, while making their nrst New England football bow In 30 years today before 41.000 at Fen way Park. It was the most humiliating setback the Indians from Temple Wins Over N.Y.U. Owls Register 20 First Downs to Wilson Is Star By STAN BAUMGARTNER Inquirer Sports Reporter NEW YORK, Oct. 14 Running over their hapless foes like a high geared bulldozer, Temple University overwhelmed New York University, 25-0, here today before 4000 In the initial football argument between the two institutions. With Jimmy Wilson, rugged junior from Pittsburgh, spearheading the attack the inspired Owls, rebounding from their defeat at the hands of Holy Cross College, romped over the Gothamites for four touchdowns Wilson kicked one extra point.

OWLS PARADE 7S YARDS One of these six pointers came in the first period, two more In the second, and one in the third. Swing ing into high gear from the first whistle the Owls marched 73 yards from the opening kickoff for their first touchdown and after that it was merely a question of how many points they could compile. Wilson, a plunging, hard-running firebrand all afternoon, scored two of the touchdowns. Ernest Mazcjka plunged for one and Jack Burns made the other on a pass. Temple might easily have 'run up 50 points, but once the game was well in hand Coach Ray Morrison sent in his second and third teams.

It operated from both the and single wing-back formation, using the exclusively to score their first two touchdowns and then shifting to a single wing as Wilson uncorked five successive forward passes to hang up the third six pointer. BLOCKING NEGLIGIBLE There was a scarcity of blocking in the game for obvious reasons. Temple operates from a and the only blocking used by the fast moving ball carriers is a "brush" block. On end runs the backfield does attempt to bowl over the tacklers, but there was not enough end running to be noticeable. N.

Y. U. operates from a short punt formation, but with their gain from scrimmage limited to a minus 7. It is evident there wasn't any blocking in its attack. COLLECT 20 FIRST DOWNS The Owls ran up 20 first downs to their foe's one and gained 340 yards from scrimmage.

Ohio State University's unbeaten Buckeyes, sparked by veteran Les Horvath, pounded over two last pe riod touchdowns to tumble University of Wisconsin from the undefeated ranks. 20-7, in a bitterly-fought Western Conference battle before 40.000 today.

Although Horvath scored only one of Ohio State's three touchdowns, it was the ripping thrusts of the four-season star that eventually broke the back of a gallant Badger eleven whose freshman Glrard performed up to par. BUCKEYES MARCH It appeared the Buckeyes would stow away their third straight victory with ridiculous ease as they slashed 75 yards for a touchdown the first time they got their hands on the ball. Freshman Dick Flanagan bolted across from the one-foot line and Ollie Cline booted the point to give Ohio State a 7-0 lead.
