Unpredictable, unbelievable Indiana came up with a new hero Saturday and Terry (One-Play) Cole carried the Hoosiers right to the Rose Bowl with a stunning upset of Purdue.

MINNEAPOLIS iJP) Minnesota's grinding' hall control punched out two third-quarter touchdowns and the Gophers withstood a late Wisconsin passing flurry to edge the Badgers 21-1-1 Saturday, claiming a share of the Big Ten football championship with Indiana and Purdue.

Gopher middle guard Ed Duren fell on it at the Badger 29. It took the Gophers nine plays to punch the ball across.

Curt Wilson passed 11 yards to Chip Litton and John Win-termute ripped nine yards on a pitchoul. SENIOR HALFBACK Dick Peterson, injured most of the season and carrying the ball for the first time this year, rammed two yards off tackle for the Minnesota touchdown. Bob Stein converted. Minnesota also punched its way to the Wisconsin 28 early in the second period, but an errant pitchoul by Wilson cost the Gophers 13 yards to stymie that march.

3 three-point victories in non-conference games to post an overall 9-1 mark. The record crowd of 52,770 fans went wild when Indiana moved out to a halftime edge. Purdue came back to get close in the third period and was on the brink of, taking the lead and possible victory in the final quarter when a fumble Stopped Jack Mollenkopf's team one yard from a touchdown. The 6'i minutes that remained were turned into a wild, thrilling series of exchanges with Purdue holding the ball on the Indiana 23 makers and Minnesota for the Big Ten championship. It would have been shocking to Pont if his daring young team had won it any other way.

The Hoosiers have been doing it in this manner from fttarl to finish. COM1NGI FROM ninth place in 1066 to the top this fall, Indiana took five of its confer-enee victories by seven points or less, ft also had two- and Boyajian then hit Dick Schumitsch for the conversion, trimming Minnesota's lead to 21-14. Pass interceptions by Dennis Hale and Jenke his third of the day blunted Badger romehack attempts in the closing minutes. Minnesota jumped on a i i fumble on the game's first play from scrimmage, converted the break into a touchdown only Vn minutes gone and then fended off a Badger second-quarter rally to lead 7-6 at half time. Wisconsis halfback Schu-mitsch hobbled the ball run- erupted into two short-lived brawls in the final two minutes.

Both benches swept on the field once and isolated fights broke out among the players. The officials and coaching staffs quelled the fighting with offsetting personal fouls assessed. INDIANA, Minnesota and Purdue finished 6-1 in the conference, the first three-way tie since 1931. But athletic directors, voting after Saturday's games, gave the Hoosiers the Rase Bowl nod over the Gophers because Indiana has never gone to Pasadena. Purdue played in the Rose Bowl last January and was ineligible to return.

Minnesota crunched 77 yards on 20 plays with only one pass thrown in after the second half kiekoff, to go ahead 14-6. Curt Wilson drove over left guard for the final yard. The Gophers got the ball right: back on Noel Jenke's pass interception, this time moving it 33 yards in eight plays to make it 21-6. Wilson again scored from one yard out, as Minnesota ran 28 playes to Wisconsin's three in the third period. THE BADGERS halted a Minnesota drive at the Wisconsin six midway through the third quarter and quickly struck 94 yards in seven plays, John Boya.jian hit six straight passes, including a when the game ended.

To the utter frustration of the Boilermaker fans in this overflow gathering, Keyes, who may be the best football player in the nation, was sitting sadly on the bench with banged-up ribs as the game reached its exciting climax. THIS GAME was actually seemingly topping the one a series of climaxes, each before it. Harry Gonio, Pont's thoroughly uninhibited sophomore quarterback who will do anything at any time, went through his entire repertoire during the pleasant, sunny afternoon, but the most im-portant things he did were to call the signal for fullback Cole and hand him the ball for a blast into the middle of the lino. This may sound like a routine play for the exciting, but unexcitable Gonso, but that is the very thing that made it so effective. The game was only a few minutes old when Gonso did it the first time.

Indiana had just taken over on its own 49. Cole went straight into the line and suddenly he was wide open, running 42 yards to the Turn to HOOSIERS, Page "-D. Col. 1 News of INDIANA GETS NOD, ROSE BOWL NEXT STOP CHICAGO MB I Indiana's Hoosiers officially were designated as tlie Big Ten's Rose Bowl representative Saturday. Commissioner Bill Reed took a telephone poll of conference athletic directors and Indiana, the only conference team which hasn't been to the Pasadena classic, was selected to face Southern California New Year's Day.

Prof. Edwin H. Cady, chairman of Indiana's athletic committee, immediately accepted the bid. Purdue was not eligible under the Big Ten's no-repeat rule. Minnesota last played in the Rosa Bowl in INDIANA'S ONE-PLAY COLE Hoosiers Find New Star.

AP DAYTON DAILY NEWS Sunday, November 26, 1967 Page 1, Section BRUNGARD'S TIGHTROPE RUN GOOD FOR 25 Si-lngst bg Donoher to Pick His Flyers No. 5 Si cticc "I vmiy rami SPOUTS Huron 4NN ARBOR, MICH. It becomes second nature lo a college coach to play the pessimist's role. His outlook is like an eclipse of the sun: strictly on the dark side. In that moment when he dons coach's clothing for the first time he gets a license that permits him to sing nothing but blues.

I have seen men who have a king's riches in talent seriously try to poormouth you on the way to the countinghouse, They claim rags when their closets are lull of line attire. They weep alxiut hunger while carting carts lull of fond. Admittedly! basketball coaches are not as bad as Ihelr football brethren.

Frank Leahy once proclaimed piously, during the week of an easy Notre Dame game, that he doubted liis tram would make a first don ii.

So it was a pleasure to sit down at meal last week and chat with Don Donoher, University of Dayton's bright young basketball roach, aliout prospects for the season that opens next Saturday night against Northern Michigan at the Dayton ficldhouse.

The rest of it is the same now that I'm going into my fourth year." NCAA Is UD Championship JT IS THE AIM of Donoher and his highly touted squad to be invited to the NCAA tournament, as an at-large invitee, for the fourth straight year. "The NCAA bid is the same lo us as winning our conference championship.

We're not in a league, of course, so when you make this imitation your goal it's like a conference. On that basis, every game's a must. "Do you know how Johnny Wooden (of defending champion UCLA) speaks of his non-conference games? He refers to them as 'lab On (hat basis, UCLA's opening game at Purdue is not as important as our opener with Northern Michigan, strange as that may sound, Losing to Purdue would hurt UCLA only in prestige. We have to live with every loss as a hazard on the road to the NCAA." This is one of the few times that HP's starling team Is virtually set and has been for some weeks. The regular five consists of Don May, everybody's All-American, and Dan Sadlier at the forwards; George Janky at center; Capt.

Bobby Hooper and Rudy Waterman at Ihe guards. Janky's a sophomore and Sadlier a junior. The others are seniors. Janky, 6-8 and 215 pounds, has edged Dan Obrovac, 6-11 and 215, who was last year's regular. As a freshman, Janky weighed 270.

Donoher put him on a reducing program that included daily running of one to two miles. George still runs after practice more than any other player. Janky Must Keep Fit BIG FELLOW has won the job on these premises: Good rebounder; skill to take the ball off the board and put it out to trigger the fast break; good hands; accurate passer in the half-court offense; ability to shoot from 15 feet as well as inside; generally good basketball instincls. I "The key to George's success," says Donoher, "is condition. And he knows Bul Obrovac, a willing performer last year, has improved, and is likely lo see service if only because Janky is foul-prone.

Here's a Donoher rundown on the other starters: MAY "I expect Dun to liv up to his All-American buildup, He's ready physically. The doctors tell me both knees (he injured the right first, then the other) are sound. He's ready mentally, He likes pressure. Good as he was, he is improved now as a ball-handler (his previous weakness) and defensive player." SADLIER- "He forced himself on the ball club as a regular in January, He helped lake the onus off May. With him, we could direct our attack to the other side of the court.

He made the team on defensive ability and reaction to pressure." HOOPER "This is his third year as a regular. He has established himself as our quarterback. Day in, day out, he gives you 100 per cent plus. His trademark is sheer guts." WATERMAN "Rudy could have a big, big season. He has a pro luture.

In nine inlersquad scrimmages, his defensive steals outnumber his offensive turnovers. This never was the case before." At the moment, Donoher is concentrating on a Top Eight group. The extra forward is senior Glinder Torain. The No. 3 guard Is junior Tom Heckman.

Obrovac is the extra center. "I don't see anyone on the squad now in the same position to break through to a starting spot the way Sadlier did last year," Donoher admits. "But it's still a team game. Individual talent you must have, too, but we were successful hcrause we were a team.

He is an honest and forthright man. "Why are you doing this?" I asked in mock horror.

''Maybe I'm falling apart," said Ihfi handsome young man. "My early opponents are within listening range of Ihe show. (They're also within reading range of this newspaper, Donald.) They may use this against me. "BUI can't hide the fad thai UD will field a team that on paper is supposed be successful, Everybody knows we finished second in the NCAA last season and have just about everybody bark I know we're supposed to be good. The players know it.

All the pre-season picks in the magazines have picked us No. 5 or 6." What Donoher is doing is a calculated xanilile thai last season's success Will not go to the heads of his players. Ranking them low mis lit injure their confidence, "Actually, what we did last year in erasing three of the Top Ten learns in the NCAA tournament should give our fellows added confidence. This is something we'll find out. when we play.

"The big strike against coaching is that the situation never changes," he suggesled, thoughtfully. "Whether you're supposed to be good, bad or ordinary, the challenge is there. Throw out our NCAA showing; toss out No. 2, and this would he any other year. The expectations are always high; from the outside, they're usually too high.

Rudolph Hubbard, a senior who had spent most of his three varsity seasons as an Ohio State halfback in an inconspicuous blocking role, made his final game a memorable one in a running and scoring capacity Saturday against Michigan. Hubbard, coincidentally a citizen of the town of Hubbard, scored two touchdowns on dashes of 22 and 12 yards in the first period, and the Buckeyes went on to defeat Michigan, 24-14. And Rudy picked up 104 yards in 15 carries in this remarkable finale.

OHIO FINISHED the season with a 6-3 record, 5-2 in the conference, to give Coach Woody Hayes one of the most satisfactory of his 17 campaigns. At one slage, the Buckeyes had a 2-3 mark, then they picked themselves up to win their last four tests in succession. It is a curious development of this strange season thai Woody 's warriors scored four of their successes on the road, only two out of five at home. i'yr Michigan, wluch entered the finale as a six-point fav-Turn to HUBBAKD, Page 3-D, Col.
