(LTD Illinois, fighting for every break, broke the longest losing streak in modern Big Ten history Saturday with a 14-10 upset of highly favored Purdue. The 15 consecutive losses for Coach Pete Elliott's Illini represented the longest string of defeats for any Big Ten team in the last 47 years. They had also lost 11 straight in conference play, also a modern Big Ten record.

It was Purdue's first loss in the Big Ten this season and badly damaged the Boilermakers title hopes while ruining homecoming for a crowd of 45,496. coreg9 Mi I I A ALJ Iowa Stuns Bucks Fumbles Hurt Ohio, 28-14 IOWA OHIO ST.

BY RON SPEER IOWA CITY OP) Iowa jarred Ohio State with three first -half touchdowns and stopped two long Buckeye drives in the second half for a 28-14 Big Ten victory Saturday. The loss, second in four con ference games, virtually wiped out Ohio State's bid for a second straight Big Ten title.

The surprising triumph also gave Iowa a 2-2 conference record. The Hawkeyes, soundly beat en in their last two games, used a hard-hitting running attack fired by sophomore fullback Vic Davis to take a 14-0 first-quarter lead, and never trailed in their most explosive game of the year. MATT SZYKOWXY, Iowa'3 passing star, took to the air only four times but scored two touchdowns on one-yard plunges.

The appearances were deceiving, for State was keeping the Gophers bottled up deep in their own territory. Lincoln dived on a punt by Lou Bobich that stuck Minnesota on its own three, and Jim Bobbitt had a missed field-goal attempt that was downed on the Gopher two before the first quarter was half gone. BY THAT TIME, the Spartans had enjoyed Lincoln's 13-yard spurt through the right side for their longest run and had picked up 34 yards rushing.

The Wildcats rushed for 267 yards with touchdown drives of 34 yards in the second quarter and 70 yards in the third quarter. It was a day for the big fullback, and Villanova gave the ball to fullbacks Billy Joe and Lou Rettino 27 times and they gained 107 yards. Rettino scored one of the touchdowns. DETROIT hardly moved. The Titans had a net 77 yards rush- 4 minutes gone in pi 4U ing, losing 50 by various means fumbles, attempting to pass and the like.

WIIEX IT DID seem that the Titans might get going in the last six minutes, successive five-yard penalties halted their drive. Villanova, now 6-1 for the season, had a two-play interruption in its first drive. The Wildcats moved from their nme-yard line to the Titan S3 and fumbled. Gary Wilke recovered for Detroit but fumbled himself two plays later and Villanova got the ball gain on the Titan 34.

But not much. Held scoreless for three straight weeks, Michigan literally went berserk Saturday and scored not one touchdown, but two, and for 15 marvelous minutes they looked like the Wolverines of old instead of the old Wolverines. Ah, what an exhilarating experience. The scoreboard blinked a merry sight: Michigan 12, Wisconsin 7. The partisan crowd of 53,789 was beside itself with joy as the Wolverines actually Illinois vs.

THE FANS were on their feet, the band was blaring, the boys in the press box were pounding their table tops and those lovely, lovely quarterly scores from East Lansing! It was like old times, indeed. But, of course, It didn't last. It couldn't, it simply couldn't. The boys in yellow and blue were still woefully weak in such fundamental phases of the game as blocking and tackling, running and passing, and when the long, cold afternoon had ended, the scoreboard told a much different story: Wisconsin 34, aiichigan 12. While the first 15 minutes belonged to Michigan, the final 45 were almost the exclusive property of Wisconsin.

THE BADGERS, 'for instance, controlled? the game so completely in the second half that Michigan gained but nine yards and got into Wisconsin's territory only once. That was in the final minute. The Badgers put it away with three touchdowns in a nine-minute span in the fourth quarter as the Wolverines defense all but fell apart So it was a good try, fellers, but the simple truth was that Wisconsin packed too much power and my, what a combination this Ron Vander-Kelen and Fat Richter made! VanderKelen was superb, so superb that you wonder how Ohio State ever stopped him last week. He threw all kinds of passes long, short, easy, hard and personally pulled Wisconsin together after its shaky play in the first quarter.

Bigger, more powerful Villanova, aided by the worst possible weather, sloshed and slid Saturday to a 14-0 victory over winless University' of Detroit before 3,000 fans and 2,000 umbrellas. A muddy field, 25- to 40-mile-an-hour winds and a cold rain robbed the Titans of their lone weapon, the pass. Quarterback Jerry Gross U-I vs. Cincinnati Xcxt Friday didn't tthrow a pass until nine minutes and 19 seconds were left in the game.

Even then he threw only three, completing one for 22 yards.

It wasn't enough to win, but Michigan fans are thankful for small favors this.
