By BOB McGINN
Driving through the rich Indiana
farm country enroute to the Mich-
igan-Purdue game a year ago, this
reporter encountered an ancient,
silver - haired gentleman who
claimed to have seen every Pur-
due game but three over the last
40 years.
After telling us of his previous
night's dream, in which his be-
loved Boilermakers had nipped
Michigan on a last second field
go'd, the old man rambled on:
"Why, I remember being up
there in Ann Arbor in the 60's,
and (Bob) Griese was throwing
those passes from here clear
Time change
Due to the omniscient pres-
ence of regional television,
the kickoff for today's game
has been moved up ten min-
utes to 1:20 P.M.
over to that telephone pole, and
'we beat you twice. I'll just nev-
er forget those games as long as
I live."
Although his dreams were a lit-
tle mixed up (Michigan, not Pur-
due, won on that late field goal,
20-17), the grizzled fan's other re-
collections were letter-perfect.
Here's what happened:
*f1964, at Michigan Stadium.
The Bob Timberlake-led Wolver-
ines, who won the Big Ten crown,
a Rose Bowl victory, and the No.
4 national ranking, fell to the men
of West Lafayette, 21-20, for their
only loss of the year.
01966, at Michigan Stadium.
The Riveters tackled azMichigan
punt returner in the end zone for a
safety to provide the Rose-Bowl
bound Boilers with a 22-21 victory.
But now it's 1972, mighty Michi-
gan is anywhere from a two to
three touchdown favorite, and the
Spoilermakers don't have Bob
Griese. Neverthless, this Boiler-
maker squad, although sporting a
modest 5-4 record, has enough
b~nafide talent to imprint itself in
that old geezer's memory forever.
And Bo Schembechler knows it.

The most relevant statistic to
today's encounter concerning
Armstrong, however, is his glaring
lack of success the past two sea-
sons against Michigan. He's man-
aged only 72 yards in 32 tries. If
he has still another poor perform-
ance this afternoon, Purdue will
definitely be in bad straits.
The 1971 Big Ten leader in pass-
ing, Gary Danielson, will be at the
Boilermaker helm. A Dearborn Di-
vine Child grad, Danielson start-
ed 1972 on the bench because of
the Wishbone-T. After Purdue re-
turned to their customary I-forma-
tion, Danielson has hit on a mea-
ger 35 per cent of his aerials, but
has run well on the option.
A rejuvenated Darryl Stingley,
felled by injury earlier, adds an-
other explosive weapon to the
Boilermaker arsenal. The 6-1, 187
pound wingback hooked up with
Danielson on a 66-yard scoring
srtike in last year's loss to the
Wolverines.
So the stage is set for today's
1:20 kickoff. The records, the odds,
and the crowd will all be against
Purdue. Michigan, of course, will
be sky high, knowing that they
must win in order to stay on the
Rose Bowl track. But a history of
excellence in Michigan Stadium,
plus a fiery fan, could propel the
Spoilermakers themselves onto the,
scent of the Roses.
PURDUE'S OTIS ARMSTRONG (24) is brought down to earth in last year's 20-17 Michigan victory by
now-graduated Wolverines Mike Keller (90) and Butch Carpenter (94). Armstrong, the Big Ten's lead-
ing rusher, has found the going tough in his previois attempts against the Maize and Blue, but Otis
and his teammates plan to help themselves along the Rose Bowl route with a victory over Michigan
today.

As a result of more than individual efforts,
Big Ten football sets up electrifying rallies
between an undefeated squad's overconfi-
dence and a scoreless team's abounding
spirit, between a coach's wisdom and his
prodigee's youth and between a tenderfoot's
naivete and a veteran's knowledge. Today
in the Big Ten gridiron battles, the circum-
stances are no different.
Up in cool Minnesota, a coach, Duffy
Daugherty, and his former assistant, C a 1
Stoll, prepare their respective charges for a
grueling battle. The raging Spartans plan to
make it three straight for State's 400th foot-
ball win. However, Duffy has never won in

tain the tradition.
