Here Come
The legen dary tales of the Purdue "Spoilermakers" have f ailed to
materialize for the past two years, but anything can happen on any
football Saturday, especially when the Boilermakers are playing a
nationally-ranked Big Ten powerhouse like Michigan.
Myth has it that any team in the Big Ten that wants to take
the conference championship must someho'w get by Purdue in the
course of the season. It isn't necessarily that the men from Lafayette
have a virtual monopoly on pulling football upsets, it's just that they
seem to have a knack of coming up with a surprising victory just
when it appears least likely.
Purdue is due. There's no question about that. For the past
two seasons, quarterback Ron DiGravio made the Boilermakers
darkhorse contenders for the Big Ten crown; but alas, untimely
losses at the hands of some avenging team, have cost Purdue the
Rose Trip.
Purdue's claims to fame really got underway in the 1960 football
season in which it scored two major Big Ten upsets.
The scene was Lafayette. It was Oct. 15 and the nation's third-
ranked football squad, powerful Ohio State, was in town seeking an-
oThe Buceyes were unbeaten and untied in season play, and
their defense was so strong that only seven points had been scored
on them thus far. Souhern Methodist, 2-0, Southern California 200
and All-America Bob Ferguson at fullback, comprised what was later
viewed as probably the Buckeyes' best backfield in recent years.
Ohio State was forced to scramble the entire afternoon as
coach Jack Mollenkopf's Boilermakers downed the visitors, 24-21.
Purdue quarterback Bernie Allen engineered the startling upset
by booting three conversions and a game winning 32-yard field
goal while his teammate, senior fullback Willie Jones, runs wild
for three touchdowns.
Needles to say, the national ranking went down the drain and
later in the season Ohio State lost to Iowa ending the Buckeyes' bid
for a trip to Pasadena.
Purdue, however, was to be heard from once again later in the
season, when it journeyed to Minneapolis for an even bigger game.
It was the next to the last regular season game for Minnesota,
the number one team in the nation with a perfect 7-0 record. A vic-
tory over the Spoilermakers who had a 1-4 conference record, would
have clinched the Big Ten title for the Gophers.
Murray Warmath and company had to wait a week though, before
capturing the crown as Purdue whipped Minnesota, 24-14, by con-
taining one of the niation's best offenses and passing through one of
the best defensive units on the gridiron that year.
Allen was the hero of the day again, as he passed Purdue to
a 14-0 halftime lead and kicked a 35-yard field goal in the third
period to clinch the victory. Minnesota finally managed to get its
offense rolling and stru'ck for two quick touchdowns in the second
half, but the Boilermaker defense braced in the closing four min-
utes of play to hold the Gophers, and even managed to score a
bonus touchdown by recovering a fumble. in the Minnesota end
zone.
The following season was played almost as if Purdue was pur-
posely out to prove that the name "Spoilermakers" had been properly
earned.
It was Oct. 28, 1961, Lafayette was the scene again. The Iowa
Hawkeyes were in town to defend their sixth-place national ranking,'
by virtue of four straight season victories. Iowa had been labelled
the pre-season favorite for the Big Ten race, and after an impressive
47-15 victory over Wisconsin the previous week, it appeared that
the swift halfbacks from Iowa City could not be stopped.
Purdue knocked off the Hawkeyes In a steady downpour, 9-0.
Shortly after the opening kickoff, the Purdue center picked off a
Matt Szykowny pass and several plays later, quarterback Ron Di-!
Gravio slid into the end zone for the Boilermakers and scored the
game's only touchdown. The extra point was missed and the only
other scoring came in the third quarter on a 27-yard field goal by
Si The Boilermakers won the game on defensive play, though, as
they recovered three Iowa fumbles and intercepted two passes,
although they had been unable to intercept an opponent's pass in
the previous four games.
But this game alone does not indicate the entire story. Iowa ap-
parently had been beaten psychologically more than anything else
because It proceeded to drop its next three contests, all against Big
Ten opiponents, and win only one more game for the year, a 42-21
victory over Notre Dame. ,,
Perhaps the team that has felt the sudden Purdue cry of 'upset"
more than any other team in the conference, has been Michigan State.
The Boilermakers were hosting the Spartans, Nov. 11. Michigan
State had been number one in the nation until Minnesota beat them I
the previous weekC, although the Spartans could have still won the
fig Ten if they won the remainder of their conference games.
In a bruising, hard-fought game, the Spoilermakers finished
ahead, 7-6. State fullback George Saimes ripped off an 11-yard
*scoring jaunt in the second quarter, but Fate, in the name of
Purdue guard Don Brumm, broke through the line and blocked
Art Brandstater's conversion attempt.
paurdue finally got on the scoreboard in the third period, when
DiGravio hit halfback Tom Boris on a 15-yard touchdown pass. Ohl
booted the conversion, which turned out to be the viinning margin.,
Now, with a 3-2 conference record, State coach Duffy Daugherty
was prompted to wryly comment in the locker room following the
loss, "We'll be home for Christmas."
The ironic twist to this win was that Purdue was now 3-1 in the
Big Ten and challenging for the league title itself, but a loss to Min-
nesota the next week ended all thoughts of roses.
Finally, Purdue downed the Spartans in 1962 at East Lansing,.
17-9, in a battle t0 see which team wouild remain in the Big Ten
title race.
As some reporter noted, "In the recent past Purdue has broken
a State 28-game winning streak, twice has cost the Spartans the Big
Ten title, and now has closed the door on any chances of visiting the
Rose Bowl in January."
All the ingredients are here in Ann Arbor this afternoon-Mich-
igan is ranked fifth in the nation, it is undefeated, it has a powerful
offense, and Purdue has a mediocre 2-1 record so far.
The Spoilermakers are due; let's hope it isn't this week.

17:30.5. These times were way off
Saari's world record time of
