Purdue, gaining its fifth derision in nine games, was in command all the way and the under-manned Hoosiers gained only through the air. So bitter was this season's finale between the two intra-state rivals that a free- for-all erupted with 1:15 i remaining. And they started swinging again as the clock ran out.

It was the first time since 1949 that the Hoosiers failed to win a single conference game. They finished with a 1-8 over-all in the first season under the new Phil Dickens regime. Dickens himself witnessed the game from the stands. He was suspended by the conference last spring for violating recruiting rules. Purdue could not miss winning this one.

Halfback Ken ny Mikes galloped 63 yards for a score the first time the Boilermakers had the ball and little Tommy Fletcher scored two minutes later on a 15-yard hand-off around right end.
