-(Picture on Page 3, Sports.) Columbus, Oct. 2. The jinx which Ohio State i football elevens have exercised over Purdue teams since 1919 rose out of the sod of Ohio stadium once more this afternoon as the Buckeyes defeated the Boilermakers', 13 to 0. It was the in augural game of the 1937 Western conference season. A crowd of 49,643 saw the battered Purdue players go home shaking their heads over this hex which has not permitted them to score a single point during the six games they have played Ohio, State in 18 years.

In fairness to Ohio State, -and in warning to their iuture toes, however, the Buckeyes did not rely on the aforesaid jinx to accomplish their second victory of the season today. It was a stronger football team, play ing more alert football, which outplayed. Purdue. The; Boilermakers' only real drive of the day was consummated in the final minutes of the third quarter, when they went to the Ohio State's 24 yard line. On the next play, how ever, Dick Nardi, Buckeye senior right half back, intercepted a pass by Cecil Isbell to frustrate scoring intentions.

Nardi Starts Drive for It was an interception by this same Nardi which bloomed into a 69 yard parade and a touchdown in the third quarter. The Boilermakers, who had made a great stand to halt an Ohio drive within two feet of their goal at the end of the first half, could not withstand the Buckeye power, Nardi finally carrying the ball over. In the fourth quarter Fred Zadworney, Cleveland sophomore, intercepted another Purdue pass and dashed to the Purdue 19 yard line before he was overhauled. On the ensuing third down Mike Kabealo threw a pass to Fred Crow in the end zone for the second Ohio touchdown. Alex Schoenbaum, giant tackle from W.

Cubs- Bats Get Busy; Defeat Cardinals, 5-i IRVING VAUGHAN. Power at bat, an item missing from the Cubs repertoire while they were sluffing off their pennant prospects, was relocated yesterday before 3,275 chilly witnesses. The second placers collected enough hits off Bob Wei- land to frame a two run first inning. In the eighth they hammered the lengthy southpaw again, this time for three runs. Thus a 5 to 1 triumph was compiled over the Cardinals, making the sixteenth favorable decision over the Gas.

House Gang this season. What the Cubs didn't do with their bats Curt Davis did with his pitching arm. The former Philly performed with so much skill that after eight innings of bat waving the visitors could show only four scattered hits for their efforts. In the ninth, how ever, possibly because Curt was slightly winded as the result of participation in the second Cub scoring episode, the Cards punctured him with a pair of hits and dodged "a shutout.

Minnesota's Golden' Gophers, cumbersome and lethargic in their running attack and helpless in the' air after a first period touchdown parade, stumbled to de feat today before a fighting Nebraska eleven. Twice Minnesota lost the ball by fumbles, and from both these opportunities Nebraska struck through the air with a precision which riddled the Gopher secondary and' produced the touchdowns by which the Corn-huskers achieved their startling victory, 14 to 9. Thirty-six thousand jammed Memo rial stadium. No Nebraska eleven- in recent years, had whipped the mighty men from the north. And these- thousands had no premonition that today's result would be different from the pattern of other contests Huskers Rally Twice.

But Nebraska's scarlet clad war riors, who fought furiously to check the Minnesota drives, had speed to bulwark their courage. That speedy strategically used and accurately, adjusted to the thrilling passes of Johnny Howell and Harris Andrews, twice brought the Cornhuskers from behind and struck down a Minnesota mach- ine for which a national champion- ship already had been claimed. Howell led the first attack, which, gave JMebrasKa a hair time lead of 7 to 6. Then, after Horace Bell, Min nesota guard, had place kicked to send the Gophers ahead, 9 to 7, in the fourth period, Andrews fired the passes which brought Nebraska its greatest triumph in recent campaigns. Three minutes remained to plajr after Nebraska had established its lead.

(Picture on Page 3, Sports.) Notre Dame, Ind, Oct. 2. Notre Dame's McCarthys, McCormicks, and O'Reillys gave the Bulldogs from Drake university quite a going over at the 50th annual opening of 'the local football season today. Bruised and battered, but game to the last second, the Bulldogs paraded sadly out "of Notre Dame stadium at dusk "behind their 60 tootin' musi cians on the short end of a 21 ta 0 score. It could easily have been much more one sided because there was- a dash and a fire in this new Notre Dame team that was pleasing to its thousands of followers in the throng of 41,000.

Irish Go on March. All afternoon Irishmen McCarthy, McCormick, and O'Reilly led a dan gerous attack. Some mistakes were made, but these merely prevented the 1 Bulldogs from falling into an overwneimmg deieat. There was a fumble by Simonich on Drake's five yard line, which, no doubt, cost the Irish one. touchdown.

Drake inter cepted two Notre Dame passes al most on its own goal line that pre vented additional scoring. But these incidents only added to the thrills of the grand opening. The game was played beneath low hanging clouds, but there was no rain. This made conditions perfect. And the.

good physical con dition of the players made it possible for both teams to throw their full strength into the struggle when necessary. The. statistics reveal how truly the game was played. They were proportionate to the final score. Notre Dame rolled up 11 first downs to five for Drake and established a 9 to 2 bulge on first downs from rushing.

The Irish compiled 301 yards from scrimmage to 124 for the Bulldogs. Running plays netted 278 of these yards, while Drake made 95 of its 124 yards through the air. Drake's Kicking Is Superior. The Bulldogs had a decided edge in the kicking department as a result of Bob Huston's long spirals, which got Drake out of danger on several occa- IRISH!)

Madison, Wis, Oct. 2. Two sustained offensives one in the first quarter and another In the fourth gave the University of Wisconsin a 12 to 0 victory over Marquette today at Camp Randall. A crowd of 31,000 sat through a chilly afternoon of gray skies and autumn mists while one of football's most spirited intrastate rivalries was renewed. That first drive began when Roy Bellin intercepted a Marquette pass on his own 25 yard line.

It ended when Vince Gavre sprinted wide around his right end for four yards and a touchdown. The advance was punctuated by Howie Weiss' two sprightly runs, one of 18 yards and the other 17, the latter setting up the ball on the Marquette five yard line. Gradisnik Goes Over. The march toward the other touchdown began from Marquette's 47 yard line, where a punt had gone out of bounds. This drive was marked by two sparkling plays one a forward lateral pass combination that gained 18 yards and the other an end run for 12 yards and a touchdown by Tony Gradisnik.

-The outstanding factor In the game was, Wisconsin's line play. Time and again the crimson clad forwards surged through like an unbroken wave as Marquette attempted to pass, run, or kick. The Hilltop passers were driven 15, 20, sometimes 25 yards behind the line of scrimmage, where they were forced to throw with a desperate inaccuracy. Mar quette was able to complete only five of these passes out of 23 attempts for a gain of 29 yards. Badgers Bush Kickers.

The Hilltop kickers likewise were harried relentlessly by the Badger forwards. Repeatedly they swung their feet almost in the faces of their charging foes. At the last possible moment the kicks would clear. As a result Marquette was able to average only 34 yards on punts. It was in handling Marquette's running plays, however, that the Wisconsin line's superiority stood out most emphatically.

Marquette's running game netted exactly no yards. In 20 attempts they gained 23 yards and lost the same amount.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. 2. Michigan fight was inadequate against Mich-Igari'State might and the Spartans from East Lansing today won a blood and thunder football game, the like of which hasn't been seen by the present generation of students at Ann Arbor. The score was 19 to 14, but it hardly represents the margin of superiority for the victorious eleven. This was State's fourth straight triumph over Michigan, the first time the Wolverines have lost four in a row to any opponent since the turn of the century.

Considering the tender ness of the season, the Spartans played brilliant footbalL- Their timing was right, their blocking effective. Their machine like precision at times was almost too mechanical. When they really turned on the power, the Wolverines were a lot of disorganized kids trying to stop the flywheel of a powerhouse with bare hands and belting bodies. Wolverines Are A record opening day. crowd of 800 saw the battle.

The Michigan partisans were silent as they marched back to town through the gorgeous tapestry of autumnal foliage, but nobody was crabbing the play of their warriors. Stronger teams than Michigan probably will lose to Michigan State before gridiron cleats are hung up for the year. Michigan's 1937 eleven will be no Big Ten doormat. Defensively the team is bright, brave, and belligerent. Repeatedly it stopped State today in the shadows of its.

Renda runs, blocks, and catches passes like a sea soned expert, although this is his first year of intercollegiate football.

Northwestern flashed a strong running and passing attack to overpower Iowa State, 33 to 0, 1 in the opening game of the season at Dyche sta dium before 30,000 yesterday.

Bob Swisher, who was ineligible last year, celebrated his return to the squad by scoring three of the Wildcats' five touchdowns, one of them on a 60 yard return of a punt in the fourth quarter. He scored twice in the second quarter, first. on 1 yard smash at the opening of the period and again on a 23 yard print just before the end of the half. Capt. Don Heap and Bernie Jefferson made the other touch downs.

Jefferson's came on the most thrilling play of the game, an 85 yard dash with the kickoff at the start of the second half. Heap scored 'the Wildcats' first-touchdown of -the year on a 21 yard reverse midway vin the first period. Iowa State Offense Halted. Iowa State could make little prog ress on running plays, out had a constant threat in the passing of Everett Kischer, 150 pound junior quarter back. The Cyclones' strongest advance of the day was to.

Although Northwestern's "regulars carried the brunt of the' sev eral sophomores turned in capable performances. Ryan, in his debut as a full back, made 37 yards in 10 attempts. He also kicked two points, after touchdowns.
