Purdue's Boilermakers retained possession of the Old Oaken Bucket here this afternoon; turning the trick with a display of good old fashioned power football.

Finding that they could penetrate Indiana's ground defenses, the Riveters relied almost entirely on running plays to pound out a victory. Ken Gorgal, calling; his last fame at quarterback for the Black and Gold, went to the air a few times, but only to loosen up the boys from Bloomingon on occasion. The Purdue boys played this one On their initial march of 95 yards, they employed 19 plays to gain seven first downs and a few odd yards. This average of five yards per clip for the Boilermakers just about tells the story. They were doing it all afternoon.

Indiana was very respectable in defeat and also came up with some I nice yardage feats. But the Hoosiers showed only one back Robertson, of brilliance Bobby an elusive soph from: South Bend. Attempting to match the all around driving power of Harry Szuiborski, Norbie Adams and John Kerestes was entirely too much for Mr. Robertson. Szulborskl, who was unstoppable in Purdue's smashing conquest of the Crimson last year, had another of his good days as he closed a brilliant career for the Black and Gold.

Harry was the Boilermakers top running threat, although Adams and Kerestes came through consistently. Kerestes, the lone junior in Purdue's backfield foursome, scored both touchdowns on the same play a fake buck into the line, fol lowed by Kerestes slanting drive around the right wing. The Boiler makers forward wall gave Kerestes perfect blocking on both runs. Indiana's lone touchdown also was a well executed piece of business. Nick Sebek moved a few yards to the left, faked a pass in that direction and then wheeled and fired a flanker pitch to Robertson on the right side, who dashed over the goal line untouched.

Don Henkel, Indiana junior halfback missed his conversion attempt, possibly through lack of practice in actual competition. His mates didn't provide him with many P.A.T. opportunities during the season. The football writers finally have been forced to weaken in their "no women" edict for press boxes around the country. It either was a case of weaken or do without Western Union service.

A number of girls were sending out stories over the wires. Ronnie Bland, the former Garfield star, almost turned in the most sensational catch of the game. Ronnie made a diving stab of Ken Gorgal's 30 yard pass on Indiana's three yard line in the third period, but lost possession as he was falling to the turf. He played the entire game on offense. Both Robertson of Indiana and Skowron of Purdue turned in a great job of kicking on a windy afternoon.

Robertson twice punted dead in nide the Boilermakers five yard line. The final gun had no more than founded when several husky Purdue players hoisted Coach Stu Holcomb on their shoulders and carried him down the gridiron. Indiana had five juniors, four aeniors and two sophomores in what was listed on the program as the No. 1 Crimson combination. Four sophs, five juniors and a lone senior showed up in the No.

2 group. So Coach Clyde Smith did not exactly have a sophomore club on the field, although some of his brightest boys happen to be sec nd year men. There were eight seniors in Purdue's offensive combination. Ronnie Bland, John Beletic at tackle and John Kerestes at full back ere the lone juniors. However, the No.

2 Boilermaker eleven was graced by seven sophomores, so team followers are not too despondent over next year. Attorney Lloyd Adamson, who made the trip with us, revealed that Indiana's fancy baton twirler is the same lad who was doing his stuff last year at Purdue. No Indiana didn't steal him. Lloyd says that he was graduated from Purdue in engineering and now is taking a postgrad course in law at I. U.

The dope is that this lad became mad at his own awkwardness when he first tackled the baton and made a vow to master the gadget. He wound up becoming a national champion even before graduating from high school. There were plenty of Terre Haute fans here today. Now they will get ready for more pigskin thrills next Thursday when Garfield's Purple Eagles and Wiley's Red Streaks put on heir own battle of the century at Memorial Stadium. BROWNS SELL PLATT.

ST. LOUIS; Nov. 19. (P) The St. Louis Browns announced today the sale of Outfielder Whitey Piatt to the Indianapolis club of the American Association.

Piatt was with the Browns through the 1948 and 1949 seasons. I N. J. set two league records. Anderson caught a pair of passes from Nick Sebek that unofficially gave him 21 and 322 yards for six conference games.

Old records were 18 catches by Purdues Bill Canfield in 1945 and 309 yards by Michigan's Dick Ri fenburg in 1948. Indiana's young squad shook loose its sophomore sprinters for several long gains, but the steady pounding of Purdue's veteran backs wore down the Hoosier line. Purdue gained 359 yards to I 122. The 52nd annual Hoosier football classic packed Memorial Stadium with nearly 34,000 fans In spite of a chilly wind that whistled almost straight down the field. It hlPir hard at times the officials had to hold the ball between plays.

Purdue In Long March. A couple of fine punts against the wind by Indiana's sophomore Bobby Robertson forced Purdue to travel almost the length of the field for Its two scores. Robertson plaved the entire game without relief. 4 Purdue counted on the wind to shorten Robertson's boots and made no attempt to return. He kicked the ball dead on Purdue's five twice, both punts traveling 48 yards from the scrimmage line.

Purdue had only a 7 6 edge at the half but got the clincher in the third quarter. A 25 yard end run by little Harry Szulborskl, ending a distinguished college career, figured in the sustained drive that ended with Kerestes scoring dash from the Indiana eight Norb Adams, another senior, alternated with Szulborskl and Kerestes in smashes of a half dozen yards or so that set up Kerestes one foot touchdown plunge in the first quarter. Indiana Scores on Pass. Senior Nick Sebek passed six yards to Robertson for Indiana's second quarter touchdown to cap a drive starting from tne i.u. s.

Sebek's pass to Anderson contributed part of the yardage, and sophomore Jim Gomory helped with a 14 yard run. The result gave Purdue 26 victories in the series. Indiana has won 20 and five have been ties. Indiana made a much closer game of it than its 39 0 slaughter by Purdue last year. With a couple breaks the Hoosiers could mave made Rudy Trbovich's two extra point conversions look mighty big.

Right after Robertson's touchdown, Indiana's Sam Winston recovered a Norb Adams fumble on the Purdue 32. Unhappily for the I.U. fans, Gomory lost the ball on the next play, and Dick Schnaible of the Boilermakers jumped on it. Just before the half purdue also got a bad break. Sebek dropped the ball as he was rushed on a pass attempt and End Leo Sugar ran it into the I.U.

end zone but the officials said the ball was dead on the Indiana 30. Penalty Slows Hoosiers. Indiana got another promising drive started in the third period. Continued On Page 50, Column 8. Ball State Bowls Over Eastern Illinois Eleven MUNCIE, Nov.

19. (JPh Ball State barged into its fourteenth consecutive victory today by whipping Eastern Illinois, 47 to 13. It was a revenge game for the Cardinals. Eastern was the last team to down the Munde squad early last season, 12 0. The Cards stepped right out early in the first quarter on a 4 yard touchdown plunge by Fred Kehoe.

Kehoe tossed 13 yards to Bill Mc Clain in the same period for the second score. In the second period the Cardinals picked up one six pointer on a 10 yard pass from Bob Baker to Frank Dushon. They scored twice in the third and duplicated this in the last quarter. Eastern scored in the third and last quarters. Its initial touchdown came after Ball State fumbled on its own 24 and Eastern recovered.

Running the ball back to the 4 yard line in three plays. Bill Grumb plunged for the score, and Gail Abney's placement was good. Eastern's last quarter punch, coming amid a flurry of passes, was a 34 yard scoring aerial from Ed Soergel to J. D. Anderson.

19 (U.R) Desperate Ohio State drove 80 yards for a fourth period touchdown today to gain a 7 to 7 tie with Michigan which gave the Buckeyes half of the Big 10 title and the inside track for the Rose Bowl. A crowd of 97,239 jammed University of Michigan Stadium on this chill, drizzly day to watch the two teams fight it out, with the result hinging on an offside play. I don't see how we can miss. said beaming Wes Fesler, the O.S.U. coach, In referring to the meeting Monday in Chicago at which the Big Ten representative will be chosen.

Minnesota, which beat the Buckeyes earlier, has played and lost one more game in conference competition. Michigan is not eligible. Outplayed for three quarters by the hard fighting Wolverines, Ohio State started from its own 20 yard line on its fourth scoring bid of the bitterly contested game. Eight plays later, Ohio had a touchdown. Penalty Proves Big Help.

Then end Jim Hague kicked wide on his first attempt at conversion. That would have cost O.S.U. the game, but an over eager Michigan line broke through too quickly and Hague got his second chance. Coolly, he stepped back and booted directly between the goal posts. The Wolverines, though they salvaged a piece of the title, lot their opportunity to become the first team since the Western Conference was organized 53 years ago to take three straight undisputed championships.

One brilliant pass by Buckeye Quarterback Pandel Savic set up the tying touchdown. Fred Morrison, a thorn in Michigan's side all afternoon, punched from his 20 for 15 yards, and Krall spun to the 47. Then Savic pitched calmly to Hamilton for 20 yards and Hamilton scampered down the sidelines before Michigan's Wally Teninga shoved him out of bounds on the four. Morrison punched over on the second try. Bucks Threaten Again.

After seeing their first quarter lead disappear, the Wolverines fell apart at the seams to allow Ohio State to roll again to the Michigan 27 in the final minutes. The weary Wolverine crew, barely hanging on as the game ended, was a far cry from the slashing outfit which had O.S.U. back pedaling at the start The Wolverines knocked off their touchdown with only nine minutes gone. Leo Koceski, back in the Michigan lineup after a month's injury layoff, capped the Wolverines drive from the Buckeye 40 by snagging Teninga jump pass at the far edge of the end zone. Fullback Don Dufek, spearheading the Michigan offensive, lashrd with comparative ease through the Buckeye line to push the ball to Continued On Page 51, Column 6.

By Ed Sainsbury, Uniud Press Sports Writer. SOUTH BEND, Ind, Nov. 19. (U.R) Notre Dame stretched its string of games without defeat to 36 today, (despite a plague of fumbles and penalties, and a bitterly Ml battling Iowa team which went down, 23 to 7, only after a vengeful struggle be fnro 7QA sne in Via TricV tw Stadium. Three times the Irish were set back for clipping and once for holding.

Six times they fumbled in the Denetratine chill of 35 de grees, and four times the Hawk eyes recovered bobbles, either to shatter an Irish scoring drive, or to threaten 10 score themselves. But it was a convincing win. nevertheless, and Notre Dame completely stifled a Hawkeye passing attack as the best measure of its superiority. Iowa's Glenn Drahn, one of the Big Ten's top passers, went into the air 19 times, but he completed only three throws for a total gain of 35 yards and one touchdown. Tie Score In Second.

His scoring flip was a six yard toss to End Bob McKenzie and it tied the score early in the second period at 1 to 7. The successful throw resulted after Louis Ginsberg recovered a fumble by Notre Dame's star quarterback, Bob Williams, on the Irish 44. Jerry Faske, a speedster Iowa back, ripped 33 yards from there to set up the score. But it was a futile gesture against the driving Irish might, paced to stopwatch accuracy by Williams. The Baltimore kid pitched for two of the four Notre Dame touchdowns, and he directed the attack with knifelike precision.

Notre Dame's first tally was the result of a 20 yard throw from Williams to Frank Spaniel after Billy Gay had recovered an Iowa! fumble on the Hawkeye 33. Then, when Iowa deadlocked the match. Leon Hart partially blocked a Drahn punt near the Iowa end zone and it went out of bounds on the Hawkeye 23. Williams pitched to Hart for 12 and sprinter Billy Continued On Page 50, Coumn 7.

19. (JP) Southern California's Trojans, riding on the gifted southpaw pitching of a fourth string quarterback named Dean Schneider, defeated the Bruins of U.C.L.A. today, 21 to 7, in their annual cross town duel. The decision, unreeled before 75,028 fans, automatically rubbed U.C.L.A. out of the Rose Bowl picture although California's victory over Stanford had already precluded a Bruin title share.

The Trojans broke a 7 7 deadlock in the last four minutes of the game and added another touchdown in the final seconds, cashing in on a gift opportunity. Schneider, the lowly sub who was called into the spotlight just five days ago when Coach Jeff Cravat lost Jim Powers, the best of his three leading quarter backs, more than met the task with a cool job of signal calling and some lefthanded passing that spelled two touchdowns. It was a bruising contest, perhaps the roughest in the nineteen game series between the two. U.C.L.A. lost 56 yards in penalties in the first half, with its first string right tackle, George Pastre, as two counts of unsportsmanship were called against the big boys 'from Westwood.

Still another penalty, for holding, might have cost the Bruins the game. It came in the third period, just after they had tied the score, had stopped a Trojan counter drive on the two yard line and seemed fired up for a scoring march. OHIO STATE CINCH FOR CHICAGO, Nov. 19. (JP) The most hectic Big Ten football championship race in years wound up today with Ohio State sharing the 1949 title with Michigan, the Buckeyes are a virtually a cinch for the Rose Bowl bid.

It's a pretty sure bet that the Western Conference faculty members will pick Ohio State for the Pasadena a trip when they meet here tomorrow. The decision will be announced Monday. The faculty members can pick any team they want to, 5 except those ruled out by past participation in the Bowl. This bars Michigan, which smothered Southern California, 49 to in 1948.

By Dick Adamson. "Yes. indeed, anything can happen when those two teams get together on the gridiron." That's the gist of talk in Terre Haute these days preceding the annual Turkey Day clash of Wiley and Garfield football warriors. The two elevens, playing in their thirty fifth yearly encounter, would like nothing more than to knock off the opposition in this classic. As it looks now, Wiley will be a slight favorite due to the fact that the Red Streaks have copped seven of eight season contests while the have won three out of eight However, past season marks mean little when the noTth and southsiders match touchdowns and a crowd of approximately 10,000 fans should witness a terrific struggle come Thanksgiving afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Wiley defeated Tech on Armistice Day, 28 to 6, and Tech whipped Garfield early in the season, 12 to 0. Garfield fans say, "So what, we outplayed Brazil and lost in the last few seconds.

19. (Jf) The first field goal ever attempted by Senior Quarterback Don Burson etched a thrilling 9 7 Northwestern victory over favored Illinois before 67,872 Illini home coming fans today. Burson's 22 yard payoff boot, following a 57 yard punt return by Halfback Tom Worthington, came with only three minutes left in the season finale for both Big Ten teams. Burson was a shining Northwestern hero in his last collegiate game, also firing a second period touchdown pass to End Joe Zurav leff to give the Wildcats a 6 0 halftime lead. Illinois, its vaunted ground attack sputtering wastefully all day, finally scored at the outset of the fourth period on a short pass from Bernie Krueger to Walt Kersulis.

One Point Not Enough. When Sam Rebecca place kicked the extra point, Illinois led 7 6. The missed conversion try after Northwestern's touchdown seemed certain to be the game's difference. But then came Burson's Merri well touch the field goal try. A reserve halfback.

Bob Meeder, who never before had tried it, held the ball. Illinois Halfback Johnny Karras added 61 yards to his newly established Big Ten ground gaining record for a seven game total of 732.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 19. (U.R) Minnesota whipped Wisconsin 14 to 6 in football today, but it probably wasn't enough to get the Gophers their desired trip to the Rose Bowl. The New Year's Day invitation to Pasadena was all but conceded to Ohio State which tied Michigan 7 to 7 at Ann Arbor for a share of the Biff Ten title. The Gophers had to settle for third place in the con ference standings.

Minnesota, a hot and cold team all season, had a tough time beat ing down Wisconsin inspirea Badeers. who held the upper hand through most of the first two periods and left the field at halftime with a 6 to 0 lead.

Minnesota fumbled three times, losing the ball twice, and had two passes intercepted. To make matters worse, Badger fullback Gene Evans went on a second period running spree, returning one punt 61 yards for Wisconsin's only touchdown and another 54 yards to the Gopher 14 yard line.

By Dick Adamson. An elusive halfback with drive to spare, Bill Young, went point happy Saturday afternoon on Memorial Stadium's turf to pace undefeated untied Hillsdale College of Michigan to a 48 to 0 shellacking over Indiana State's luckless Sycamores. Young, who was second in the nation's scoring ranks until yesterday's brilliant showing, finished the game with 24 tallies on three touchdowns and six conversions. The Highland Park, youngster, weighing but 170 pounds, literally ripped Indiana State's forward wall to shreads by piling up an amazing 227 yards from scrimmage. His team's total yardage from scrimmage was 303.

Young had accounted for 97 points in eight previous '49 encounters and his 24 total yesterday placed him at 121 and gave the graduating senior a good chance to overtake Brad Rowland of McMurry College, Texas. About the only two players on the Sycamore eleven who even compared with the flashy Young were Lee Higginbotham and Arvin Workman, two products of Tech High in Terre Haute. Higginbotham was continually booting booming kicks, with one sailing 80 yards on the fly. Workman was the workhouse in State's backfield all day and he was a threat to the Bearcats defense every time he handled the pigskin. State Rugged At Start The Terre Haute team played good defensive ball the first stanza, holding Young and company to only one t.d.

and a point after touchdown. From then on it was a rout. State opened the tilt by kicking off to the visitors 26. The Sycamores held on downs and Rum mell booted to State's 38. A blocked Higginbotham punt which was pounced on by Captain Dick Infer followed and set up Hillsdale's initial touchdown.

Bob Burandt climaxed the drive by traveling 20 yards on an off tackle smash into pay dirt Young's attempted conversion was perfect and the Bearcats led 7 to 0. The score remained the same and the quarter ended with Burandt racking up four yards in I.S.T.C. territory. Burandt retaliated with a dash to Indiana State's 35. A deflected pass, snared by Jim Conquest, placed the ball on the visiting club's eight yard jnarker and after a 15 yard penalty, Burandt slashed over his right guard for a second Bearcat score.

Again Young's p.a.L was good and Hillsdale held a 14 to 0 margin. Pass Brings Touchdown. An exchange of punts on the next two sets of downs and a 35 yard kick return by Y'oung to the State 40 helped the Bearcats register their third t.d. Bob Hal lock, another capable Hillsdale back, made a first down to the Sycamore's 28 and on the next play Rod Oberlin tossed to Ron Haug lie in the end zone for six points.
