Lafayette Cox, a Gopher from Walia Walla. reintroduced himself and his new University of Minnesota associates to old Univer- si'y ai Michigan rivals by spoiling the Wolverine home coming with a line dissem bling fourth quarter victory. The final score was Minnesota, 20; Michigan, 7. Gophers Recapture Jug It was this same Robby Cox, whom the Wolverines had seen almost too much of when he came on as an understudy in Michigan's 14 to 0 victory over University of Washington at Seattle in 1954. Today Cox led Minnesota's native Vikings like the Schulizes, McNarnaras, Bombardiers, Tuszkas, Burk-hoiders, and Blakclys to a resounding recapture of the Little Brown Jug, the relic these two teams have wrangled over in many a football match since 1906.

27 Iowa beat Purdue, 21 to 20, today in a game of long marches by both teams. It was climaxed by a frantic fourth quarter in which a Dad's day crowd of 41,415 made Ross- Ade stadium echo with cheers of jubilation and gasps of des pair as the Boilermakers made a valiant touchdown drive. then failed to get the extra point. But that wasn't the end. There came two more desper ate Purdue efforts to catch the Hawkeyes which were snuffed out by fumbles as the Iowa tacklers hit hard to iar uie Dan irom hands on the 24 yard line, and again on the 21.

Dawson's Kick Wide Len Dawson's whiplash passes to Lamar Lundy and od Ahoeme were the de cisive factors in Purdue's fourth quarter touchdown drive of 49 yards. It was cli maxed from third down on the 20 when Lundy made a whirling catch of Dawson's pass on the 7, twisted away from two tacklers, and fell in to the end zone. Then Dawson's kick for a tie went inches to the left of the posts. On the ensuing drive which carried to the Iowa 25 Mel Dillard fumbled when he was hit hard' on one of a series of off tackle smashes. Fred Har-i ris recovered for Iowa.

A few minutes later, the Boilermakers were storming in again after they had moved, largely on Dawson's passes, from their own 4 yard line back, leaps off bench with i FOOTBa" I "i DASHES Kl BY EDWARD PRELT, Chicago Tribune Press Serried Champaign; Oct. 27 Michigan State, very much against its will, this afternoon joined, the Illini upset club, heretofore reserved for such illustrious gridiron foes as Michigan and Ohio State. A homecoming crowd of had despaired of a victory when the Fighting Iilini were blanked in the first half, 13 to 0, after two fumbles were followed by Michigan State touchdowns. They were not prepared. and neither were the Spartans, tor a second half explosion which rocked the nation's No.

1 team into a 20 to 13 defeat. Michigan State, which a week ago routed Notre Damo to earn its lofty rating, had won 12 straight. Illinois had lost three in a -row. Of such in gredients are upsets made. Last Year: Wolverines Today's incredible result in a perfect autumn setting was the third homecoming shocker executed by Illinois in this decade.

Last year the Illirii whipped Michigan, 25 to 6, when the Wolverines enjoyed the mythical rating as king of all college elevens. In 1950, Ohio State was knocked off a similar perch, 14 to 7. And those elderly members among tonight's delirious homecomers harked back into the dim past, remembering that in 1P39 the Illini whacked a Michigan team led by Tom Harmon, 16 to 7. They talked, too, of Red Grange and the four touchdowns he scored against Michigan in 1924 in the first 10 minutes the day Memorial stadium was dedicated. Overcome Errors Perhaps this one today was the greatest of them all, be cause Illinois, after its errors had given Michigan State the opening for its two touch downs, came back to outfight and overpower a team which had scored 100 points in its' Continued on page 9, col.

Woodson took it. avoided one Spartan tackier, and streaked nearly horizontally across the field. The mob of Spartans was left on the other side of the gridiron and Woodson started pumping for home.

On the Michigan State 30, Art Johnson closed in in front of Woodson and mader ready for the tackle. Woodson hiutled cnjupletely over him and dashed on with blockers gathering around him. By the time he crossed the goal, he was near haustion and had to be by teammates.

This time the Ohio State margin was 21 to 0, sufficient to delight even the most rabid, )ld Buckeye in the homecoming crowd of 82.661. It was pleasant tonic for the old grads after seeing their Buckeyes upset by Penn State, 7 to last Saturday. Now Ohio State, scenting a third successive Big 10 championship, turns attention to next week's meeting with Northwestern in Evanston. 111. The Buckeyes contemplate winning their 16th consecu tive Big Ten game, an un precedented feat in Western conference history, in that one.

Today's Big Ten success, Ohio's 15th in a row, tied Michigan's old mark. O. U. Northwestern, look out! No Element of Suspense This was Ohio State's 17th success, against six losses and three ties, in a series that started in 1913, and, most likely, was one of the least exciting of the meetings between Richest ($319,210) Stakes to Barbizon Notre Dame, Oct. 27 An Oklahoma tornado swept thru Notre Dame stadium to day, wreaking further havoc among the debris Michigan State left scattered about the premises a week ago.

Outclassing the crippled and undermanned Irish, the Sooners unveiled a new offensive wrinkle and coasted to a 40 to 0 triumph before a record Notre Dame stadium crowd of 60,128 for their 35th consecutive victory, the long est unblemished skein in modern collegiate history. Oklahoma was just too fast, too alert and too well coordi nated for the young, inexperi enced and battered students who have been striving futile- ly in recent weeks to carry on the great Notre Dame tradition. Score in 10 Plays Embellishing its famous 1 mauon lor me iirst time with a double flank er, Oklahoma moved swiftly to a touchdown in 10 plays from the opening kickoff and added another seven minutes later. It got two in the second quarter and finished the scoring with a touchdown in each of the final periods. A seventh touchdown, on a 51 yard pass in the second quarter, was disallowed because of backs in motion penalty.

7 HURRAH, WE DIdIt Late Indiana Score Beats N. 19-13 Just in Time Boh SUre Fihpowsl BY ROBERT CRO.MIE Chicago Tribune Press Sen-Ice Bloomington, Oct. 27 A pass interception with four minutes remaining paved the way this afternoon for a tie -smashing touchdown that gave the fighting Tloosiers a 19 to 13 upset triumph over Northwestern before a homecoming crowd of 23,000 in Memorial Stadium. The victory, first of the Big Ten campaign for stemmed largely from the Hoosier passing attack, which netted 176 yards on 15 completions in 21 attempts. The winning touchdown was made on a 6 yard plunge over right guard by Dave Whitsell, but passes of 17 and 11 yards moved Indiana into position tor the score.

The second Indiana touch down came entirely thru the air, as the Hoosiers moved 71 yards in only four plays to beat the tirst halt gun by 19 seconds. McKeiver Injured Northwestern was handi capped in the fourth quarter oy the loss of its great little runner, Bob McKeiver, who dso played a fine defensive game. McKeiver dumped Willie Jones for a 6 yard loss early in the period, then was helped off the field with a nosebleed and possible damage "to a cheekbone. X-rays will be taken to determine the extent of the foot 41? inch" half back's injury. The Indiana victory was the; lourth in succession over the Wildcats, the first lime the Hoosiers ever have accomplished so long a string against any team.

Federal Hill, owned by Clifford Lussky, got second place by a neck over George D. Widener's Amarullah. Barbizon, owned by Mrs. Gene Markey, was one of four horses in the field, who were made supplementary entries for the race at a cost of each last Monday.

The Lexington, horsewoman collected a net jackpot of $163,430 for Barbi- zon's 1:44 4-5 jaunt over the mile and one-sixteenth distance of Garden State park course. Bold Ruler, ridden by Ted Atkinson, was running along third place on the far turn with less than half a mile re maining. Suddenly Atkinson stood straight up in the sad dle as Bold Ruler seemed to stumble and almost went down. The colt dropped back instantly to about eighth place as the other jockeys were hustling tor that big 10 per cent swag that the winning rider customarily takes from the purse.
