;ouchdown passes and kicked
;ree extra points as the Boiler
nakers smashed Wisconsin, 21-0
esterday in the Big Ten opener
or both teams.
Taking a long step toward the
lose Bowl, Purdue recovered four
Wisconsin fundbles and intercepted
hree Badger passes as the teams
ollided like freight trains on every
?lay.
The Boilermakers bunched two
ouchdowns in 2 minutes 17 sec-
nds of the first quarter, before
he rains came. End Leonard Jar-
line caught 6 and 22-yard scor-
ng passes from Allen, both in the

aid on him.
Northwestern 6, Minnesota 0
EVANSTON - A 157 - pound
ourth string quarterback sopho-

6 yard scoring drive which pulled
econd -ranked Northwestern off
he ropes for'a 6-0 Big Ten foot-
all victory over bruising Minne-
ota today.
Little Bob Eickhoff climaxed his
uperb relief job by firing a seven-
rard touchdown pass to end Paul
Yanke with the fourth - quarter
bout two minutes old.
Until Eickhoff came off the
ench late in the third quarter,
he Wildcats, favored by two
ouchdowns, were pushed all over
he field by the rugged Gophers
efore 41,221 Dyche Stadium
'iewers.
Eickhoff's chance came with the
Vildcats stuck on their own 14

nediately got the sluggish North-
vestern attack into high gear. In
dozen plays the Wildcats had
parched nearly the length -of, the
Leld. Eickhoff himself completed
our out of four passes, including
is seven - yard scoring shot to
Yanke.

Iowa 37, MSU 8
IOWA CITY -- Iowa bounced
back into the Big Ten title pic-
ture yesterday with Quarterback
Olen Treadway's passes providing
the punch in a 37-8 victory over
Michigan State before a record
crowd of 59,300 in the Hawkeyes'
homecoming.
The defending champions, who
lost their conference opener to
Northwestern last week, stunned
the Spartans with a 23-0 half-
time lead based on' a flurry of
passes from Treadway to end Don
Norton. The combination ac-
counted for two first half touch-
downs.
Interceptions and penalties hob-
bled the Spartans and they never
seriously threatened. Quarterback
Dean Look capped a 64-yard drive
with a 13-yard touchdown toss to
fullback Carl Charon late in the
third period for their only scoring
gesture.
A 95-yard runback by Bob Jeter
with the ensuing Michigan State
kickoff permanently erased any
threat the Spartan touchdown
might have presented. Although
Jeter was pulled down on the
Michigan State one, Wilburn Hollis
got the touchdown a couple of
plays later.
Illinois 9, Ohio State b
COLUMBUS - A 73-yard pass
play that bordered on.the miracu-
lous and a fourth-period field goal
gave Illinois a 9-0 upset over Ohio
State yesterday in a Big Ten foot-
ball game which attracted 82,980
fans.
The Buckeye attack, once the
scourge of the Big Ten, foundered
on the rocky Illinois defense as the
Bucks lost the ball on downs on
the 28 and. 11 yard lines and on
pass interceptions on the Illinois
11 and 12:.
Mel Meyers, sophomore quar-
terback from Dallas, was appar-
ently down far behind the 27-
yard line of scrimmage on the big
play, but eluded three Ohio, at-
tackers, broke loose from an ankle
tackle and arched the ball far
down field. Halfback John Counts
picked the pigskin from between
two Ohio defenders on the Illinois
445 and raced the rest of the way
untouched.
Indiana '33, Marquette 13
BLOOMINGTON -- Indiana
threw a complete armory against
Marquette's one-gun offense and,
smothered the Warriors in a non-
conference football game yester-
day, 33-13.,
Marquette's long-throwing Pete
Hall tried to carry the load, but
there were too many Indiana line-
men in his backfield most of the
time. Hall's passes set up one
Marquette touchdown and scored
the other, but an interception also
put the Warriors in a hole they
never dug out of.

WEST POINT - Penn State's
crafty quarterback, Richie Lucas,
piloted the unbeaten N i t t a n y
Lions to a 17-11 victory over Army
yesterday'.
It was the first Penn State tri-
umph over the Cadets since they
first met in 1899, when State won
6-0.
A capacity crowd of 27,500 in
Michie Stadium saw the action-
packed game. Penalties were fre-
quent and two touchdown runs by
Army, one for 71 yards and the
other for 70, were called back.
Lucas scored both Penn State
touchdowns, the first from the two
in the first period after a march
from the 50, and the second from
the one in the second period after
a flurry of penalties.
George Kirschenbauer scored
Army's touchdown in the third
period on an 11-yard pass from
Joe Caldwell. Sam Stellatella
kicked a 20-yard field goal for
Penn State in the second period
and Tom Blanda booted a 32-
yarder for Army in the same quar-
ter.

Texas 19, Oklahoma 12
DALLAS - Veteran Rene Ram-
irez and two flaming sophomores
--little Jim Saxton and big Mike
Cotten -teamed yesterday to
give Texas a 19-12 victory over
Oklahoma and make it two years
in a row for the Longhorns to
topple the once-mighty Sooners.
'Ramirez accounted for 51 yards
in a 72-yard scoring surge and the
r60-pound Saxtondsparked a 61-
yard touchdown drive in a tu-
multuous second period that saw
nationally fourth-ranked Texas
come from behind a 12-0 dfit to
a 13-12 lead.

Notre Dame 28, California 6
BERKELEY - Notre Dame's
Fighting Irish capitalized quickly
on California mistakes yesterday
and whipped the Bears 28-6 be-
fore a sun-soaked crowd of 68,500.

Y.._
TOUCHDOWN MASTER-Richie Lucas, Penn State quarterback,
scored both of his team's touchdowns yesterday as they defeated
Army 17-11 in the East's top game. Penn State's victory paved the
way for their showdown battle with undefeated Syracuse for the
Lambert Trophy.

Twice in the first half, the Irish
scored after recovering Califoria
fumbles and also 'mounted one
long touchdown march.
Late in the fourth period after
the Bears drove 97 yards for their
lone touchdown, substitute Notre
Dame quarterback George Haff-
ner connected with end Les Traver
on a 45-yard touchdown pass.
Winning their second game of
the season, the Irish scored first
with the game just one minute 42
seconds old. Quarterback George
Izo, in action the first time, threw
a 26-yard touchdown pass to half-
back Bob Scarpitto The score
came on the second play after
center Joan Powers recovered a
California fumble on the Bear 22.

Georgia Tech 14, Tennessee 7
KNOXVILLE - Taz Anderson,
an unsung hero in the past,
flashed slashing power running
and classy pass catching yesterday
and Georiga Tech whipped Ten-
nessee 14-7 in their battle of un-
beaten football powers.
In addition to his sterling
ground gaining tactics, Anderson
teamed with center Maxie Baugh-
an to- anchor a Tech defense that
Tennessee couldn't crack consist-
ently.
Anderson, once an end now
playing fullback, keyed Tech's two
touchdown marches with his pass
grabbing and slick running. He
scored in the first quarter on a
nine-yard pass from Fred Brasel-
ton. After Gene Etter led Tennes-
see to a 7-7 halftime standoff, An-
derson set up Tech's third quarter
score with a 13-yard run and then
scored from the one.

Syracuse 32, Navy 6
NORFOLK - Syracuse inter-
cepted four Navy passes and over-
powered the Midshipmen on the
ground yesterday to gain an easy
32-6 victory in the 13th Shrine
Oyster Bowl game.
It was an awesome display of
power, both on offense and de-
fense, by the Orangemen from up-
state New York as they won their
third straight game.
Navy, with Joe Tranchini toss-
ing pinpoint passes, gained more
ground in the first half than Syra-
cuse's first two opponents had in
two games. But nearly every time
the Midshipmen got within scor-
ing range, Syracuse's defense stiff-
ened and someone grabbed off a
Navy pass.
Art Baker, provided the biggest
thrill for 31,750 shower-drenched
spectators when he intercepted a
Tranchini pass early in the second
quarter and raced 96 yards for
the second Syracuse touchdown.

Auburn 33,Kentucky 0
AUBURN - Auburn halfback
Jimmy Pettus ran the opening
kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown
and the Tigers went on to wal-
lop Kentucky yesterday 33-0 on
a rain-soaked field.
- A crowd of 30,000 sat through a
steady drizzle and watched the
rampaging Plainsmen bring back
memories of the undefeated teams
of the last two years. It was Au-
burn's 23rd consecutive victory .at
home.
Pettus, a 165-pound junior, took
the first period kickoff on his 12
and skittered downfield, eluding
and finally outracing his pursuers.
Kentucky never recovered.
Pitt 12, Duke 0
PITTSBURGH -Ivan Toncic
passed 56 yards to end Mike Ditka
for one touchdown and set up an-
other with two low-flying aerials
as Pitt defeated Duke 12-0 yes-
terday in an intersectional foot-
ball game.
Toncic's throwing and Ditka's
catching gave the corwd of 38,749
the only thrilling moments in a

hot, sweaty game which otherwise
was fought out near the 50-yard
line.

The Numbers Game
THE NUMBERS RACKETS are going wild again in Ann Arbor. And
the man behind the syndicate is Chalmers W. Elliott, a villain who
"bumped" off an old friend - named Oregon State.
Actually, it's all on the level.
The said villain used his numbers to wear down the said victim--
which happens to be the team that gave him his coaching start. Elliott
shuffled three teams in and out of the game with seemingly reckless
abandon.
After a three-quarters wait, the strategy paid off; said numbers
had exhausted their opponents and Michigan's backs drifted past
fallen defenders with ease. In that last quarter, rested"runners like
Fred Julian, Tony Rio, Darrell Harper, and Ken Tureaud smashed
into their tired opponents, knocked them over and then moved on
goalward. Two touchdowns later Elliott appeared to be a genius.
Elliott's numbers were split into three teams - similar to the
plan 1958 Coach of the Year Paul Dietzel used to bring Louisiana
State a national championship. One team, the starters; played both
offensively and defensively - and usually when Michigan had a good
drive going or when the Oregonians' offense got hot.
A second team, led by several veterans, was used as an offensive
weapon to supplement the starters. The reasoning behind the choices
of personnel for this second group is that experience is the best teach-
er for offense. The third contingent was made up of several sopho-
mores and defensive specialists -
and spelled the second team when
they lost the ball.
Poetically, the three units are
called the "White team" (start-
ers); "the Rompers" or "Go" team
(offensive supplements); and "the
Raiders," who probably are simi-
lar to Louisiana State's famed
"Chinese Bandits" because of
their defensive ability.
The individual teamp have a lot
of pride, in, their respective jobs.
There is little jealousy among the
ranks because all get a good
chance to play a lot. In fact, El-
liott substituted units' five times
KEN TUREAUD in the first quarter and six in the
change was great second period. Before the first
half was over, Michigan had used
36 players. "We concentrate our personal pride on seeing which team
can do the best job towards playing a perfect game," said Romper
Tureaud, who nearly achieved that "perfect" distinction with his
ball-carrying chores yesterday.
In the Beginning ,..
THE THREE-TEAM PLAN was in the coaches' minds since the
start of the season, admitted Elliott after the victory.
"But we just didn't get around' to using it systematically until
this game," he said. "We are weak in several departments and saw
this as our only answer. Those injuries made a lot of holes."
"Boys that never played or whose play was limited came through
fine," he said.
"Besides that," added line coach Bob Hollway, "after you have
a list of injuries like ours and two defeats on your record, what do
you have to lose? We decided to get a lot of ?kids in there and just
see what we have."

game in which both goalies fought
off repeated charges at their nets.
Gordie Howe counted for the
Wings and Marcel Bonin for the
NHL champions.
Terry Sawchuck in the Detroit
goal was particularly. brilliant,
turning back shots by Montreal's
ace scorers time and again. In the
late minutes of the game he made
a spectacular save on a shot by
big Jean Beliveau and then foiled
Bonin on the rebound.
The Red Wings, a combination
of high class veterans and a half-
dozen newcomers, outchecked and
outskated the Montrealers in the
first period.
The younger Wings' relentless
checking all but disorganized the
famed Montreal attack for long
stretches. The Canadiens operated
more efficiently in the latter part
of the game and several times

appeared on the verge of breaking1
the tie but were balked by Saw-
chuck.
Goalie Jacques Plante of Mon-
treal had almost as tough a time,
facing 29 shots to the 32 dilled at
Sawchuck.

Toronto 6, Chicago 3
TORONTO-The Toronto Maple
Leafs, getting offensive strength
from all departments, exploded for
five second-period goals last night
to whip the Chicago Black Hawks
6-3 in a National Hockey League
game.
Chicago opened and closed the
scoring but in between it couldn't
hold back the frisky Leafs who
found their scoring eyes in the
second period.
Veteran Left Winger Bert Olm-
stead led the winners with a pair
of goals. George Armstrong, Frank
Mahovlich and defensemen Bobby
Baun and Tim Horton scored the

THE NEW SYSTEM, with its exciting second-half freshness and of-
fensive punch, is a far cry from last year's team, which fell apart
pathetically in third and fourth stanzas. Last season, Michigan used
two units of the 22 best players and both elevens played offensively
and defensively.
Now the first unit is made up of the best 11 athletes. Good foot-
ball players can do well both on offense and defense - and this is
true with Michigan's starting unit.
Wolverines like end John Halstead, for example, can charge in
hard on defense as well as snag passes and block effectively. In yes-
terday's clash, for instance, he pulled down two passes for 26 yards,
placekicked a field goal and conversion- then doubled on defense to
recover the fumble (his third in four games) that started Michigan
to its winning score and pestered Oregon backs with his hard tackles.
And there is Tony Rio, Michigan's top rusher with 58 yards in 1;
carries. Elliott claims the pint-size fullback's contribution to the team
is "good blocking and good defense."
The Rompers have such ingredients as ends Scott Maentz and
Jim Zubkus, tackle Don Deskins,. fullback Bill Tunnicliff and quarter-
back Don Hannah-a conglomeration of veterans and yearlings who
the coaches realize have certain defensive weaknesses.
The Raiders are defenders like rugged Rudd Van Dyne, John
Stamos. Reid Bushong and George Mans-who all need offensive
polish. Incidentally, one of the Raiders' big stars= is Paul Raeder, who
hauled in a key interception yesterday.
These three squads have added a fourth "ghost" team to Michi-
gan . . . a team that was with the Wolverines on every play. Its name
is spirit.
"What else is better for morale than letting boys play?" asks
Elliott. It is his feeling that the spirit on this team is as good as any
squad he has been associated with. Over half the members of the first
three teams are playing different positions than those they played in
high school or last year, but there are few complaints.
Said one of these players who had had his position changed:
"I didn't care ... I had a hunch I'd get to play and learned what
I 'could. It was easy with those coaches and that line. All I had to
do was follow. Just getting to play gives our guys morale."
The speaker had a point. His name was Ken Tureaud.
