Purdue, shunted into the short end of a 6-to-0 score when a terrific break gave Iowa its touchdown in the second quarter, fought right back to the front with a 66-yard touchdown march and clinched the decision with touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters.

Purdue Pays Off Only five times did the Boilermakers swarm beyond midfield but on three occasions they had the payoff punch. It was a different story, however, for the Hawkeyes who twice failed to produce the touchdown spark when opportunities beckoned. Big John Petty, a crashing fullback, capped the Purdue second quarter drive with a touehdown sweep around Iowa's right end after an offside penalty put the ball on the Hawkeye one. The march started on the Boilermaker 34. Petty carried the ball four times from the 17 In the goal ward surge.
