The crowd was almost 15.000. It was Purdue's sixth consecutive victory and advanced the Boilermakers another step toward at least a tie for the Big Ten championship.

Iowa has now lost four and tied one. Iowa's rugged and hard-charging line held Puruue to only one TULSA, Oct. 23 Maurice Wade, his flaming red hair glistening against the gloom of rainswept Skelly Stadium, passed and ran for five touchdowns today as luisas Golden Hurricane crushed the Utah Indians, 55 to 0. A crowd of 6,000 saw the onetime star of the Missouri Tigers pitch three touchdown passes to Barney White, return a punt 50 yards for another, and gallop 48 yards on a perfectly-executed reverse for a fifth. While Clyde LeForce, Tulsa's great triple-threat artist, sat this one out.

Wade went in to build a brilliant passing record, hitting the bull's-eye 12 times in 15 tries for a total of 168 yards. Jimmy Ford, speedy tailback who replaced Wade in the third quarter, got a touchdown on a 49-yard punt return. Nolan Luhn in tercepted a pass and galloped il yards for another, and Camp Wil son added one with a two-yard lunge through the Utah line at the end of a 47-yard drive. LeForce kicked the extra points and missed only once in his eight tries. touchdown in the first three quarters, and the Hawkeyes even led for a part of the game.

After Paul Glasener, of Waterloo, scored Iowa's first quarter marker, "Touchdown" Tony Butkovich evened the count in the second quarter. Then it was a ding-dong battle until Purdue swept 71 yards in three plays to send Butkovich over again at the start of the final quarter. A few minutes later Butkovich went over again after an on-side kickoff. The final Purdue score came when an Iowa pass from center went into the end zone and was recovered by Nathan Laskin, reserve Boilermaker end from Youngstown, O. It began to look as though the Boilermakers were going to have to settle for a tie until Butkovich ripped off runs of 38 and 30 yards to score shortly after the start of the final quarter.

The ensuing on-side kickoff caught Iowa fast asleep. Joe Buscemi pounced on the free ball on the Iowa 36, and in six plays Butkovich had scored again.

The Lions will meet the Green Bay Packers before a crowd expected to reach 40,000 at Briggs Stadium and they are convinced they can at least do no worse than they did against the Packers in Green Bay two weeks ago.

At that time the Packers walloped Detroit, 35 to 14. Green Bay will bring a team which will have a distinct advantage both in size and experience. The Packers' 218-pound line will cutweigh Detroit's forward wall 11 pounds to the man. In experience. Green Bay has considerable edge.

That play was prdouced by Dr. Hirsch. It was a simple smash aimed at the Minnesota left tackle the first time Michigan had the ball.

It resulted in a 61-yard touchdown. HOW IT WAS DONE Michigan lined up for an orthodox line smash on its 39. Paul White swung into action to the left and Bill Daley received the ball from center. He spun, handed it to Dr. Hirsch and that erstwhile mine of Gopher meat would end from the four.

In the following quarter he kept pegging the pigskin and connected with Fred Knack from the 15-yard line for another score. He then passed to Hall Ping for the extra point. In the last quarter the Colts scored again, mainly because of two Dresser passes. He tossed one with such a feast It probably would not have, if Hirsch had not Stenberg one. But these came after Hirsch had crashed the Gopher touchdown gates in a manner the 45,000 fans will not soon forget.

The one touchdown Loren Palmer made for Minnesota in the second quarter resulted from one of Michigan's few mistakes. It came after Guard Bob Lossie had intercepted Jack Wink's third-down pass on the Michigan 15. Even then the Gophers needed six cracks at the line before Palmer crashed across from the one. It was a great day for Michigan, but as Lt Com. Harry G.

Ki'pke lamented, "why couldn't this have happened two weeks ago against Notre Dame?" Whether Michigan recaptured the famed Little Brown Jug by beating Minnesota today remains unclear, but the Wolverines declared after the game that they would be happy to accept shipment charges from Minneapolis collect "I haven't any idea whether we'll get the Jug," said Coach Fritz Crisler in a jubilant Michigan dressing room. "To be frank. I haven't heard anything about it.

Yost left at Minneapolis 40 years What's YOUR Score? BY REV. FREDERICK D. TYNER Rector of St. Luke's Church, Minneapolis Locker room conversation that center around "that kid of mine" are always interesting. When some youngster shines on his school team his father usually lets the locker room gang know about it when some youngster licks the old man on the golf course that same old man will tell his pals all about the game and swell up with pride when he describes the way the young fellow hit the ball a mile and sank a twenty-foot putt.

It certainly is a great thing for any young fellow when his father takes a keen interest not only in his athletic but in everything, else that means so much to a young chap in the formative period of his life. About that time he is a dreamer and an idealist and given a father who helps him to make those dreams come true the young fellow emerges into real life with a backlog that will stand him in good stead in the more difficult days to come. it is mighty tough on the boy whose father shows little or no interest in his athletic, social or spiritual life. Such parental delinquency paves the way or a lot of juvenile delinquency. Some years ago a youngster of 15 found himself in trouble.

Up to that time he had struggled along without any help from his father. He was faithful to his church and all that the church stands for, but his father wasn't interested and did nothing to encourage him. When the trouble came the boy's pastor talked it over with him. The interview ended by the young fellow in a broken voice saying: "I ONLY WISH MY FATHER KNEW HOW HARD I AM TRYING." WHAT'S YOUR SCORE 1 ago, should have been at stake. rests the Lions last slender hope of a championship.

Beaten in two of five games to date, a third defeat would wipe out all Detroit hopes of landing in the playoffs against the Eastern Division winner. There will be only one change in the Detroit 1 i e-u p. Jack Matheson will replace the malaria-stricken Ben Hightower at right end. Coach Gus Dorais intends to open with a backfield composed of Bill Callihan. Charley Fenenbock, Ned Mathews and Harry Hopp.

Frankie Sinkwich will De held in reserve to alternate with Fenenbock at left halfback. The Packers, of course, will have Tony Canadeo, their versatile halfback, and Don Hutson as the big guns. Canadeo rifled three touchdown passes in the first game against the Lions and Hut-son, besides being an ace place-kicker, is undoubtedly the finest pass receiver in football. Incidentally, Hutson and Detroit's Augie Lio are tied in the manufacturing of extra points with 13 each. In other games Sunday the Chicago Bears should have no trouble defeating Brooklyn in Chicago; Washington can take the Chicago Cardinals in stride in Washington, and Philadelphia-Pittsburgh should be favored over New York in New York.
