On a Saturday reminiscent of past days of glory, Western con- ference teams swept through eight intersectional clashes with a six win, two tie record. In the only game matching league teams, Illinois justified its favorite's rating with a 17-6 vic- tory over Indiana. And the game doesn't count in the standings due to the Hoosier's conference suspension. Recording wins were Michigan, Northwestern, Minnesota, Wiscon- sin, Ohio State and Iowa. Michi- gan State was held to a 7-7 tie at Pittsburgh and Purdue came from behind twice to deadlock UCLA, 27-27. Illinois received a stellar per- formance from 5-8 quarterback Johnnie Easterbrook in opening its campaign on a winning note. Easterbrook scored twice himself and completed a 52-yard pass to set up a third-period field goal. The Illini fell behind 6-0 when the Hoosiers drove 74 yards in 12 plays the first time it gained pos- session. But Easterbrook brought the home squad back with a four- yard run in the first period. Gerry Wood's conversion made it 7-6. In the third quarter Wood added a 25-yard field goal and Easterbrook capped the scoring with an 18-yard dash in period four. Michigan State, rated with the Illini as the loop's top team, needed a freak pass play to sal- vage its tie at Pitt. The home squad counted with two minutes remaining in the first half on quarterback Dave Kraus' six-yard pass to end Mike Ditka. 66-Yard Pass Then, with only five seconds remaining in the period, Spartan quarterback Tom Wilson lofted a long aerial to end Jason Harness. Pittsburgh's Ed Sharockman de- flected the ball into Harness' hands, and the latter went all the way to complete a 66-yard play. Art Brandstatter kicked the conversion. Tempers flared near the end of the contest and erupted into a fist fight which included several members of both squads. Northwestern, the first Big Ten team ever to invade Oklahoma, came off with a 19-3 decision. LeAding the Wildcat attack was fullback Mike Stock, who kicked two field goals and picked up 86 yards in 12 carries. Northwest- ern's two touchdowns, in the first and fourth quarters, came on passes by quarterback Dick Thorn- ton. Coach Woody Hayes' Ohio State crew added some frills to their "four yards and a cloud of dust" offense and treated a capacity home crowd to a 24-0 win over Southern Methodist. The Buckeyes converted two pass interceptions and a fumble into scores. They mixed their basic ground attacks with the passing of quarterback Tom Matte, who hit six times in 13 attempts. Defending conference champion Wisconsin got its offense rolliig in the second half for a 24-7 vic- tory at Stanford. Sophomore sig- nal caller Ron Miller passed for three touchdowns and set up a 24-yard field goal. His scoring heaves were to Ron Stanley (twice) and Tob Anthony. Erv Kuensh kicked the field goal and added three conversions.

The visitors had overcome a 9-0 deficit with two second half touchdowns be- fore Ferguson's run put the Hawk- eyes out of reach. Minnesota rolled up a 13-0 half- time lead, then hung on to top Nebraska, 26-14, at Nebraska. The Gophers drove 49 and 64 yards to score early, then capitalized on a fumble and intercepted pass af- ter the break. And Purdue, featuring a sopho- more-laden lineup, scored on, a. 28-yard pass from Bernie Allen to Joe Harris with 2:58 remaining to gain its tie with UCLA at Lafayette. UCLA tailback Bill Kil- mer was the game's individual star, passing for three scores and counting once himself. .I Orangemen,_Rebels Post Wins Especially suitable for--Army R.O.T.C., Navy R.O.T.C., Air Force R.O.T.C. and Marching Band members.
