By LOWELL TOENXIESSEN Sunday Press Sports Writer Syracuse Colgate fans in an Archbold Stadium crowd of 23,000 found more to cheer about yesterday than in several visits here, but the result had a familiar ring. Piling up five touchdowns in the second half, Syracuse broke open a close contest, and a 2-game losing streak, 46-6, to keep alive its hopes of a post-season bowl bid. But for one half, Colgate's five-time losers ran low, tackled hard and held the once-mighty Orange to a 14-6 advantage. This was the closest a Maroon team had been to Syracuse, after the opening minutes of a game, since the 26-19 last-minute Orange victory in 1955. During the previous four meetings in this dying rivalry, Colgate had been outscored, 213-13, topped off by last year's 71-0 humiliation by the national champions.

ERNIE 12-FOR-lll Pete Brokaw, Ernie Davis and Art Baker led the drive which gave Syracuse its 10th straight win over Colgate and 25th in the series. Colgate has won 31 times.

Quarterback Phil Dembowski and end Larry Virgilio, two of the four Wildcats picked by a meeting of the minds of Press sports-department observers and a dozen conference head coaches and aides, will back next year as the backbone of a JC team that will be intent on exclusive ownership of the pigskin penthouse it currently, shares with its Friday-night Elmira Southside victims. The-twoseniof JC choices, halfback Don Tchir and tackle Bill Misata, give- JC the most representation on a Press squad since the unbeaten 1957 Central team landed five.

The all-time record, of course, was the 1949 Johnson City avalanche which swept eight men into office. Co-champion Southside placed a pair of its big lineman, 220-pound tackle Gary Lowe and 200-pound guard Gary (Rocky) Emmick while each of the other six teams except for Central have one bright-light each. North's Charley Carbo, who came on like a forest fire in the second half of the season, is at the end opposite the rugged Virgilio. U-E's Rich Vivona is the center and EFA one-man-line Len Givens the other guard. Following Press precedent, the backfield consists of a T-quarterback, then the best three other all-around backs, not necessarily restricting it to one fullback and two halfbacks.

Tchir, the league's best pass receiver and deep defensive back as well as a dangerous straightway runner, is joined by almost unanimous vote by Mel Robinson of Ithaca, who shook early-season injuries to become the c.

His run was typical of the inspiicd play of the Hawkeyes who rehounded after tumbling from the top si ot in the national rankings when they lost to Minnesota. 27-10, last week. Williams started the onslaught with his 49-yard scoring run through the middle of the line late in the first quarter.

With their dream of an unbeaten season and national tit le fading, the Gophers raged for two second half touchdowns but were beaten by Bernie Allen's 35-yard field goal in the third period. Purdue got a freak touchdown on the game's final play for window dressing. Allen's rifle arm shot Purdue to two first half touchdowns and a 14-0 lead before Minnesota re- from the shock. Power less in the first two periods, Minnesota swept back on touchdowns by Bill Munsey and Roger Hagberg, but Purdue twice braced in the final 4 minutes when Minnesota threatend to pull it out. CAN STILL TIE The loss dropped Minnesota to second place, in the Big 10 race behind Iowa.

The Hawk-eyes, who were knocked out cf the No. 1 national rating last week by Minnesota, clinched no worse than a ue for the Bis 10 crown by beating Ohio State in their final conference game, 35- lz. Minnesota can match Iowa 5-1 record by beating Wisconsin in its finals next week. For Purdue the victory was only No. 3 of the season, two against national powers Ohio State and Minnesota.

Purdue riddled Minnesota's highly-acclaimed defense in the first half with Allen's passes and the fullback blasts of sophomore Tom Yakubowski. The Boilermakers rolled 80 yards early in the first period, Allen covering half the distance with three passes. Yakubowski hammered over from the 2-Al len's 17-yard to Forrest Farmer put Purdue on the 5 in the second period and Willie Jones cracked over. FUMBLE COSTS 6 Minnesota sent Munsey over from the Purdue 27 in the third period and, after Allen kicked his field goal, the Gophers got another in the fourth when Hagberg cracked from the 3. But Minnesota could not sustain the Icomeback and Purdue added an unneeded touchdown on the final play when Minnesota's Tom King fumbled a punt into the end zone.

Jim Tiller fell on it for 6 points. The defeat ended the 7-game winning siring that had carried Minnesota from last year's cellar finish in the Big 10 to the summit of college football. But while they lit the flame in the second half in a noble bid for victory, the Gophers were a stumbling, feeble football team in the first half. While Allen was herding the Boilermakers to a 14-0 halftime lead, Minnesota managed only 16 yards on the ground and 15 through the air in the first 30 minutes, and was out-first-downed 13-3. WEAK PUNT HURTS Minnesota, bewildered in pass defense against Allen's bullseyes and outslugged by Purdue's line, also couldn't kick its way out of trouble.

Purdue after marching 80 yards for its first score, got manner when the Gopher punt- er got the ball only to his own 25 on a boot from the end zone. The Boilermakers sailed over to make it 14-0 in short order. It sounded like tongue-in-cheek, but Purdue coach Jack Mollenkopf said after the game, "I hated to do it to my old friend, Murray Warmath (Minnesota coach). No victory was 1 IJ I that it had to happen to Murray." Warmath said "Purdue ouK played us, but our team had nothing to be ashamed of. It (wasn't day-dreaming.

Junior halfback Larry Ferguson's flashy 91-yard scoring dash down the sidelines and sophomore fullback Joe Williams' 49-yard touchdown burst highlighted the Hawk-eyes' nationally-televised victory. The stunning triumph assured the Hawks at least a tie for the Big 10 crown with a 5-1 record as previously unbeaten Minnesota was upset, 23-14, by Purdue. The Gophers must beat Wisconsin next week to share the championship. The Hawkeyes fifth ranked in the latest Associated Press poll displayed their crispest attack of the season in turning back powerful Ohio State, which had lost only one game and Mas ranked third this week.

Iowa was performing in its last home game under head coach Forest Evashevski. And the players shot the works, building a 28-6 halftime lead and using a stubborn defense to turn back the Buckeyes' second half bids. Williams also scored on a 2-yard plunge in the rout. Quarterback Wilburn Hollis added a 12-yard touchdown and his understudy. Matt Szykowny scored on a sneak to thrill the Dads' Day crowd.

Ohio State quarterback Tom Matte who had a brilliant day for the Buckeyes but alone couldn't turn the tide and fullback Bob Ferguson scored Ohio State's touchdowns.

A victory over Miami on Friday night is essential to any such plans, he added. GOTHAM SCOUT THERE Officials of both New York's Gotham Bowl and Philadelphia's interest in Syracuse, with scouts! Liberty Bowl have expressed! from the former watching yes-! terday's action. Smarting from successive! losses to Pitt and Army, and! aware that a good showing was! vital to any bowl aspirations, the; Orange poured it on to the! finish. Although coach Ben Schwartzwalder waved in the! reserves, some of whom hadn played all year, Syracuse pressed the attack and went to the air for its final touchdown, only five seconds before the finish. "For a team with no offense, we did pretty well." Schwartzwalder said.

"This was our best game in three weeks," he added, with praise for "all our backs" and the line as well. The turning point and it's the first time in years one could be found later than Colgate's arrival from Hamilton was a pass interception by Orange defensive ace Whitey Reimer to halt Colgate's drive for a possible tying touchdown early in the tnird period. Down by just eight points after a strong second quarter, the Red Raiders returned Ken Ericson's second-half kickoff to their own 41, then marched 38 yards before Reimer picked off Bob Paske's throw, intended for halfback Jacque MacKinnon. From this point, Syracuse drove 72 yards in 7 plays, 30 yards by Baker and the final 28 by Davis, to regain a 2-touch-down lead. Late in the period, after a Colgate punt, Brokaw broke over the left side, leaped out of MacKinnon's arms and raced 53 yards for the second of his three TDs.
