Michigan led 15-0 and had dominated every aspect of play. The Gophers recovered slowly a touchdown 49 seconds before half time pruning the difference to nine points -and emerged from the shadows of lethargy in the second half. Two touchdowns in the fourth quarter the decisive one on a daring fourth- down gamble gave Minnesota the lead. The score came with 5:40 to go and the sad fortunes that have dogged Michigan this season had struck again.

The Wolverines had two final salvos before conceding and the Gophers' hope for the Big Ten championship remained alive. The victory was Minnesota's fifth in six games this season and third in the Big Ten, moving the men of Murray Warmath into a tie for first place with Purdue and Indiana and setting the stage for a stretch run that includes two road games (at Iowa and Purdue) and two home games (Indiana and Wisconsin).

"I HAD a couple of other chances to score tonight," Hull said. "We actually should have taken a bigger lead than 2-0 in the first period, because the North Stars came on a lot stronger later in the frame. But the first win was a long time coming." The North Stars, playing an Eastern Division team for the first time, were tense and erratic in the opening period and fell two goals behind.

Eric Nesterenko opened the scoring at 9:41, on a bounding shot after Maniago had made a great save on Pit Martin's 10-footer. Then Hull deflected Pat Stapleton point shot past Stars Continued on Page Nine Purdue Ties for block from Charley Sanders (87) as he rounded Like the ringmaster of traveling circus, Bobby Hull led the Chicago Black Hawks into Met Center Saturday night and displayed to the sellout crowd of 14,674 ample proof that he has the greatest skills in the National Hockey League. Hull scored two goals as the defending NHL champions finally broke their long autumn drought with a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota North Stars. IT WAS Chicago's first victory in eight games this season, and if the Black Hawks still appeared shy of their championship form, the dynamic Hull was everything the people in professional hockey have claimed he was for 10 years. Bobby got his 12 shots at two Minnesota goalies Ce-sare Maniago and Garry Bau-man and even when he missed the net there was class written on every shot.

"He's a tough sunnuvagun," admitted Wren Blair, the Minnesota coach. "I had a man in his shadow all night and we still couldn't stop him." The most memorable Hull shot of the evening, however, was one on which he failed to score. It occurred at 12:39 of the first period, and for a few moments there was genuine concern for the life of Maniago. Skating in from the left corner, fighting a North Star check, Bobby fired a bullet shot which glanced off the top of Maniago's head and caromed into the crowd. Cesare fell like an axed tree, and nobody, except Maniago, really didn't know whether the puck had struck him squarely or not.

"It was a glancing blow," Maniago said later. "I was just stunned for a few seconds."

The Gophers had won, rallying from a 15-0 first quarter deficit, but Capt. Tom Sakal was angry. "Man, Michigan came here with fire in their eyes," said the star Gopher defensive halfback.

"We were thinking Michigan State too much. It's not going to be that way any more. "We took Michigan too lightly. "It proved to us that scores don't mean a thing.

"I'm he said, "they are happy to see us come down here because they feel they have a better chance against us than most teams they play." There is additional merit in that statement because the Falcons are recovering from a series of injuries.

USC Triumphs; Simpson Hurt right end to Test win this one" he often not only is very surprised but quite angry when his team doesn't. This overwhelming confidence is strange, too, because it has made a team with only one victory a heavy favorite. Granted, Atlanta is winless, but it has played Baltimore to within a touchdown and has stayed close to its other opposition until the final quarter.

Thus Grant was wary when he arrived in At He got Rolls, Lead superb football team. That half was their offensive unit, which penetrated Purdue's usually staunch defense, at times with the utmost ease. Twice when Purdue pulled ahead by two touchdowns, it still could hot feel safe against the passing and running of Iowa quarterback Ed Podolak, the running and pass receiving of Silas McKinnie and the receiving of Al Bream. As the second half wore on, the Hawkeyes had to play desperation football. The gifted Podolak, surely one of the college season's best quarterbacks, could not produce the long strikes which halfback-flanker Leroy Keyes delivered for Purdue, including four touchdowns and a Big Ten record.

Thirteen other Big Ten backs have scored four touchdowns in one game, embracing George Franck of Minnesota against Iowa in 1940 and Red Williams of the Gophers against Iowa in 1943. Keyes completely dominated Iowa's defense with his running and pass catching. He scored touchdowns on runs of three and 81 yards and on pass gains of 29 and 46 yards. In addition he caught a pass for 35 yards to Iowa's five. From there fullback Perry Williams drove over.

Williams scored another Purdue touchdown on a run of 45 yards after breaking the grasp of two tack-lers at the line of scrim-age. Most spectacular play was Keyes' 81-yard dash in which he slashed over Iowa's left tackle and outran defensive backs Tony Purdue Continued on Page Two IOWA CITY, Iowa Purdue gained a tie for the Big Ten lead with its third league victory Saturday and Iowa left another field without a victory. While this was going on, 56,504 spectators at Iowa's homecoming saw a display of offensive football and de-f i shortcomings which made it one of the season's exciting spectacles. Purdue won 41-22, but the losing Hawkeyes proved to be one half of a er halftime when Oregon got to the USC 47. Simpson, who played the entire first half, gained 63 yards in 23 carries, but it was quarterback Steve Sogge's passing that led to both Trojan first half scores and a 14-0 intermission lead.

On the first play of the second period, Sogge hit flanker Jim Lawrence with a swing pass and Lawrence raced 30 yards to the Duck 13. On third down, with goal to go on the Oregon 8, Sogge fired a pass to end Bob Klein for the score. Rikki Aldridge converted and USC led 7-0.

(J) Reserve halfback Steve Grady entered in the third period for injured O. J. Simpson and led the University of Southern California to a 28-6 Pacific-8 victory over Oregon Saturday.

1 team had little trouble with the visiting Ducks. Grady, a senior who -has seen little action in three years, gained 108 yards in 18 carries and scored one touchdown. His first score was a neat 11 -yard burst up the middle with 1:46 gone in the fourth quarter. He was hit three times on the play and just made it into the end zone. The victory, though, was a work of art for the defense.

Oregon was able to gain only 25 yards and one first down in the entire first half.
