MSC's Johnny Matsock toured right end for a 24-yard touchdown romp in the first quarter. McNa- mara, shifted to right half, got it back on the end of an. 82-yard march in the second quarter and Geno Cappelletti's conversion gave Minnesota a 7-6 halftime lead. Cappelletti sneaked over to cap another Minnesota drive in the third period and McNamara clinched it with his recovery and sprint down the sidelines in the third. BERNIE CRIMMINS doesn't kid about football. Last week after his Hoosiers had dropped their fourth game of the season he freely predicted that "Someday we're going to put together two good halves of football, and when we do somebody is going to get hurt." His conqueror of that day, Iowa's Forest Evashevski concurred with the comment "I'd hate to be playing Indiana the day that team jells." As it turned out in Michigan Stadium yesterday Crimmins was right, Evashevski was lucky, and Bennie Oosterbaan's Wolverines got hurt. In the locker room after the game Oosterbaan was quick to praise the Hoosiers as he remarked "It's a wonderful thing when a team can lose that much and still play such good ball." But he was equally as free with his praise of his own players who, in his words, "battled their hearts out." * * * * Tables Turned .. . IN A BIG TEN season where upsets seem to be the rule rather than the exception, Michigan had turned the trick twice, first to Iowa and then to Minnesota. Yesterday it was their turn to taste the bitter pill, and there didn't seem to be anything the Wolverines could do about it. They played one of their finer games, but just couldn't plant the football in the end zone. Meanwhile the Hoosiers took full advantage of Michigan's only fumble and a momentarylapse in pass defense to score their win- ning touchdowns, and at the same time put the skids on four Michi- gan scoring drives with intercepted passes. Crimmins couldn't say enough about the man who played the key role in Indiana's offense and an equally important part on defense. Quarterback Florian Helinski had been hurt all season, and was sup- posed to be in top condition for the first time yesterday. It soon became evident that he couldn't be in better shape, for it was Helinski who handled the Indiana Split-T offense beautifully, rid- dled the Wolverine secondary with perfect passes, and picked off three! of the interceptions himself. $ * . Shades of Giel .. . NOTHING can be taken away from the rest of the plucky Hoosier team, but no one man since the Paul Giel episode in Minneapolis last year has played such a major part in ruining Michigan. Helsinki worked the forward pass for all it was worth in the sec- ond Indiana touchdown driye. Starting on his own about halfway through the second quarter he maneuvered the Hoosiers to Michigan's 20 yard line in nine plays. Seven of the calls were for passes, of which four were completed. All of the passes were of the short buttonhook variety. Then as Helinski went back to pass again right half Milt Campbell sprinted out into the right flat, paused as he had been doing on every play, and then with the defenders sucked in he dashed right by Ron Kramer into the end zone where he pulled in a perfect lob pass. The Michigan camp was again hard hit by injuries to two key backs. Tony Branoff was put out of action by the same knee that had been hurt twice before, while Dan Cline suffered an injury that may develop into the same type of cracked rib that sidelined Ed Hickey for two weeks. Read and Use Daily Classifieds Purdue Deals Illini Fifth Loss, 28-14; Murakowski Stars LAFAYETTE, Ind. W-Big Bill Murakowski, who didn't start be- cause of a leg injury, smashed through Illinois for two touchdowns yesterday and Purdue kept its Big Ten championship hopes simmer- ing, 28-14. Illinois operated without star halfback J. C. Caroline in its fruit- less attempt to win its first West- ern Conference victory of the sea- son and gave away two first-half touchdowns with fumbles deep in its own territory. Lenny Dawson, Purdue's sopho- more quarterback sensation, threw its 13th touchdown pass of the sea- son, to 6-7 end Lamar Lundy. It covered eight yards. Lucky Sevens The Boilermakers rolled four 7s, a touchdown a period, against the luckless Illini, with Dawson kick- ing the extra points. Little Rex Brockhscored one Purdue touch- down on a four-yard plunge. Murakowski, 204-pound junior fullback, covered 7 and 14 yards in his two scoring sprints. Illinois matched Purdue's first- quarter touchdown with Abe Wood- son's 14-yard run in the second quarter. Halfback Ken Swienton, respon- sible for one of Illinois' lost-ball fumbles, made up for it with a 26-yard end run for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Bad Breaks Things began breaking against Illinois when Woodson let Rex Brock's punt roll and it stopped on the Illinois 4. Rolla McMullen fumbled on the 7 two plays later and TomBettis recovered. Mura- kowski scored on the next play, his first of the game. Woodson and Mickey Bates cut up the Purdue line early in the second quarter in a scoring drive that covered 71 yards in 10 plays. Bates picked off a 20-yard pass! from Em Lindbeck for a big chunk of the yardage, and Woodson flashed the last 14 yards.

Iowa rapped the Badgers with two first half touchdowns and then fought off a powerful challenge to get its first victory over Wisconsin in six years. - Alan "The Horse" Ameche, aid- ed by some dazzling passing by Jim Haluska, almost hauled Wis- consin to at least a tie but a fum- bled handoff-play by the Badger pair dashed their hopes when it seemed a second touchdown was a certainty. Fumble on Five The misplay came on Iowa's five - yard line and Earl Smith snapped up the ball for the Hawks. That was the dismal end for Wis- consin. Iowa vigorously kept pos- session in the frantic final five minutesasa Dad's Day crowd of 52,185 saluted its favorite sons. Wisconsin held the whip hand through most of the last half but Iowa was in control much of the first two periods in which the Hawks got their vital points. Coach Forest Evashevski, per- haps as a psychological maneuver and perhaps to give a reputedly not too healthy a first team as much rest as possible, started Iowa's second unit. The No. 1 squad went into ac- tion with 8:30 left in the first pe- riod and struck for a touchdown after a Badger -punt to their 49.

But Lauter fumbled on the Ohio State nine, and Bill Michael recov- ered for the Bucks. Ohio State failed to get started and Howard Cassady fumbled with Northwestern's Nosal capturing the ball on the nine. Northwestern got as far as the three, but that was all. Nosal also was injured in the sec- ond period to become the third Northwestern starter to leave the scene before halftime. It looked as though Ohio State had scored another touchdown late in the second quarter after Dugger filched Ellis' pass on the Wildcat 49. The Buckeyes moved quickly! to the 17, and Leggett hit Watkins on a touchdown play, but it was nullified by a holding infraction against Ohio State.

(R)-The coach of the nation's No. 1 team, Ohio State's unbeaten Buckeyes, sharp- ly criticized the use of a "slick" ball in the Bucks' 14-7 squeak past lowly Northwestern yesterday. Woody Hayes, whose Buckeyes scored their sixth straight victory to grab undisputed first place in the Big Ten race, made quite a dressing room speech on the foot- ball employed by Northwestern. "Fumbled All Week" "We fumbled all week in prac- tice and we fumbled five times to- day," continued Hayes. "We even asked the official to rough up the ball. "Northwestern is the only team in the conference to use this type of ball. Look at the number of fumbles Northwestern committed before the game and you'll know what I mean." Northwestern committed 30 fum- bles in five previous games, in- cluding home starts against Iowa State, Southern Cal and Michigan played here prior to Saturday's game.
