It was one of the most stunning

BOSTON--(P)-With little Al Di Marco pitching and Jack Dittmer
catching, Iowa's Hawkeyes came from behind to trounce Boston
University's outclassed Terriers, 34-14, yesterday before 12,848 chilled
fans at muddy Fenway Park.
THE HAWKEYES, trailing 7-14 at the halftime, exploded for 21
points in the third and fourth periods to win going away. Two of
those last half scores were aerial thrusts from Di Marco to Dittmer
that went for 60 and 32 yards, respectively.
It was the final game for both teams. Iowa wound up the
season with a 4-5 record, while the Terriers finished with a 6-2
mark.
Once Iowa started rolling in the third period Boston University
proved no match for the hard-running backs and hard-charging line-
men from the Mid-West.

LAFAYETTE, Ind.-(/P)-Purdue rose to its early season power
yesterday and smashed through Indiana for ,,a 39 to 0 victory tc
bring the Old Oaken Bucket back to Lafayette.
It was a great climax for Purdue, the third victory of a season
which opened with a thrilling one-point loss to Notre Dame.
For coach Stu Holcomb it was a sweet victory, too, because it
is the first time in five years that the traditional Old Oaken Bucket
has come back to Lafayette.
HARD-CHARGING halfback Harry Szulborski paced Purdue's
slashing ground game as he bucked over for the first Boilermaker
score after three and a half minutes of play and then raced 30 yard.:
just one minute later for the second six-pointer.
Quartberack Bob DeMoss accounted for two other Boiler-
maker touchdowns, and Norb Adams and reserve fullback, Jack
Milito banged over the others.
As a gesture to retiring Captain Phil O'Reilly, the last extra point
was added on a plunge. O'Reilly, normally a tackle, plunged over for
that one point.

utes had elapsed FullbackhNorm
Jackson on a famous Michigan
;pinner play went right through
"he middle of the Scarlet and Grey
Iine for 20 yards and a score.
Jennings' try for the extra
point was good and the Wolver-
ines led 7-0.
The remainder of the first half
was nothing but a punting duel
with neither team able to get any-
vhere in the quagmire.
THE THIRD PERIOD opened
with the Buckeye's duplicating the
'eat of the Wolverines.
The first time the Ohioans
got their hands on the ball they
went all the way in three plays
and scored on a twenty yard
break-away run by Bud Henry.
The attempted conversion was
blocked and the Wolverines
still held a slim 7-6 lead.
The Maize and Blue threatened
o score again midway in the third

AN INTERCEPTED pass and a

It seems like only a couple of
days ago that Boston and Cleve-
land were fighting it out in the
World Series, yet the football
season's over and the basketball
team is out sharpening up for the
cage season which opens here De-
cember 4.
The only connection between
the gridders and the hoop squad
is that both are being handled by
mentors.

MICHIGAN'S CAGE squad is
working under silver-thatched
Ernie McCoy, who has a tough job
cut out for him in his first year in
that the Wolverines are defending
Big Nine champions.
However, he has practically
the entire squad back from last
ear, which gives the picture a
little brighter hue. Only two
members of the championship
team of last year, Gerrit Wierda
and Don MacIntosh, are listed
among the missing.
Big Bill Roberts, Michigan's
center for the past two seasons
and this year's captain, is ham-
pered at present with a bad knee,
but is sharpening up his eye with
practice every day just the same.
* * *
LAST YEAR'S CAPTAIN and
leading Wolverine scorer, Bob
Harrison, is working with Hal;
"Lefty" Morrill, another letter-
man, at the guard position.
Boyd McCaslin and Mack Su-
prunowicz, also two-year vets,
are back to assume their duties
at forward. Bill Mikulich, George
Poretta, Joe Stottlebauer, and
Fob Bauerle are other varsity
letter winners back from last
year.
Seven of the nine newcomers to
the varsity played on the Wolver-
ine freshman squad last year. Leo
Vanderkuy works at center;
Chuck Murray, Bill Agre, and Les
Popp play guard, and Bill Eggen-
berger, Bob Olson, and Bud Royce
are forwards.
TED BERCE played with the
Maize and Blue for a while in
1944, zreturned last year but was
unable to play because of schol-
astic difficulties. Bill Doyle ar-
rived last February, but didn't
play on the squad so he could save
his eligibility for a full season.
Assisting Coach McCoy with the
Wclverine cagers will be Bill Or-
wick, while Dave Strack will coach
the freshmen.

The turning point came as Berry fumbled the second half kickoff°

EAST LANSING -()-Michi-
gan State's long-sought berth in
the Big Nine appeared all but
made up today.
With the Western Conference's
annual meeting only three weeks
away, the Spartans seemed nearer
than ever before to their goal.
In Chicago, The Daily News
reported that acceptance was a
"virtual certainty," and predict-
ed the vote would be 6-3.
Completion this year of Mack-
lin Stadium, with seating for 50,-
136, gave Michigan State a strong
bargaining point. The stadium is
sixth largest in the Midwest.
Also highly in the Spartans'
favor is their remarkable record
on the gridiron this season.
They started by holding mighty
Michigan to a narrow 13-7 mar-
gin. They tied powerful Penn

State and rolled up overwhelm-
ing victories against all other
opponents except Notre Dame,
which won 26-7.
The Chicago Daily News listed
four schools, - Ohio State, Iowa,
Northwestern and, surprisingly,
Michigan-as opposed. However,
the paper said "political pressure,"
will align Michigan behind the
Spartans before the conference
meeting Dec. 10-12 in Chicago.
