OSU, Purdue favored; MSU in key battle
Soph Hill:
'M' defensive surprise
By JOE MARKER
Ohio State seeks to continue its
rise to the top of the nation's foot-
ball polls today as they take on
Northwestern's Wildcats in what
should be one of the leading mis-
matches of the young Big Ten
season.
The Buckeyes have rocketed to,
second place just behind Southern
California in the pollsters' judg-
ment as a result of their stunning
13-0 victory over Purdue last week.
With a starting cast consisting
largely of sophomores, OSU was
supposed to be a year from foot-
ball greatness.
But last week's shocker proved
that Woody Hayes' charges belong
among the nation's elite, as they
shredded the Boilermaker defense
for nearly 350 yards rushing and
held Leroy Keyes to a mere 19
yards. The rock-ribbed defensive
unit, which ranks third in the
country in points-allowed (6.7 per,
game), scored a touchdown of
their own last Saturday on a 34
yard interception return.
PURPLE HEART
Ohio State will be without the
services of their halfback, John
Brockington, but should have
little trouble defeating a worn-out
Northwestern eleven, which de-1
serves some kind of purple heart
for its suicide schedule. The Wild-
cats, now 0-4, have challenged

(6). Last, Saturday, against the
Irish, the Northwestern defensive
unit showed for the first time this
year that it can be stingy, holding
Notre Dame to a 7-0 lead at the
half. However, the offense again
displayed it characteristic inept-
ness, garnering only one touch-
down the entire afternoon.
In a crucial Big Ten encounter,
Minnesota journeys to East Lan-
sing to crack heads with Michigan
State. The Gophers, one of the
pre-season favorites for, the con-
ference crown, have faltered re-
cently, barely squeaking by a weak

which again was supposed to play
the role of the doormat for the'
other conference teams, has sur-
prised everyone by whipping high-
ly-regarded Oregon State in its
opener and'then nearly whipping
Big Ten champion Iowa last Sat-
urday. The Hawkeyes gathered 531
yards in total offense against the
Hoosiers before bowing 38-34.

POWERS WARY
Two top ranked teams, South-
ern Cal and Kansas, have games
that look easy on paper but could
turn into trouble.
O. J. Simpson leads the Trojans
against a Washington team that
has shown an ability to score
points, despite winning only one
game. A letdown could be disas-
trous against such an offensive
minded crew but USC should be
able to go to Simpson enough
times to pull out a victory.
. Kansas also faces an opponent
that has won but once, Oklahoma
State. However, the Cowboys pull-
ed a major upset against Houston;
last week and will be gunning for
the Jayhawks today.
CRUCIAL CONTEST
Another game on tap in the Big
Eight should be a lot closer and
is much moreimportant;for the
teams involved. Missouri invades
Nebraska for a must game, one
that both squads need to stay alive
in the conference race.
Nebraska relies on its defense
and it has been good. enough to
beat all comers except Kansas. The
offense can best be described as
adequate, but Ernie Sigler, Dick
Davis, Joe Orduna and F r a n k
Patrick are capable backs and
score enough points for Nebra-
ska's needs.
Nebraska's attack will have to
be at its best since Missouri has
only allowed 30 points this seaon.
The Tigers' offense is in about the
same shape as the Huskers',
though, so a battle of the lines
can be expected.

California has been the surprise
team of the Pacific with their
strong defense, a fact which Mich-
igan fans; are well aware of. The
Golden Bears have yet to give
up a touchdown rushing this year,
a factor which could decide the
contest.
UCLA has had quarterback
