UIN"AL, L UP V±VWZdf7, E1954 4 Iowa Knocks Purdue from Race; Buckeyes in Hawkeyes Triumph, 25-14; Ohio State Rips Pittsburgh T IOWA CITY, Iowa 0'-A bruising Iowa football team, with touches of individual brilliance, struck for a 25-0 halftime lead yesterday and had more than enough in reserve for a 25-14 victory over Purdue. The pummelling blasted Purdue out of the Big Ten title race and a possible Rose Bowl appearance, the same fate Wisconsin met on the same field only a week ago. It was the second loss in four games for the Boilermakers. By its victory Iowa zoom.d into fourth place with a 4-2 record. Iowa gave the 52,900 homecom- ing fans a smashing performance as a relentless ground attack got two specular touches from half- backs Eddie Vincent and Earl Smith. Vincent rambled 96 yards for Iowa's fourth and final touchdown with 4:34 remaining in the second quarter to establish a modern con- ference record. Eddie, taking the ball on a reverse, hit through Pur- due's right tackle, had trouble for a few yards and then outsped his challengers down the east sideline. s . : COLUMBUS, Ohio (M - Ohio State's powerful .Buckeyes enh- anced their No. 2 national ranking yesterday as they scored in every period and stopped the Pittsburgh Panthers cold for a 26-0 non-con- ference victory before 80,886 fans. Pittsburgh, which had defeated Northwestern, unbeaten Navy, and West Virginia in its last three starts, failed to reach the Ohio 40- yard line as the Bucks completely smothered the Panther power and passing attack. Probably the happiest kid in town was Ken Thompson, sophomore halfback from Dayton, Ohio, who got into the game in the last three minutes as Ohio flooded the field with the last of its bench-warmers. Carrying the ball for the first time for the Buckeyes, Thompson took a pitchout from Bill Booth and rolled 32 yards around his left end for the final touchdown. Earlier the Bucks had moved 81 yards in 19 plays, 34 in 3, and 80 ETHICS- BY GOD OR MAN SKEPTICS CORNER: 4:15 P.M. Room 439, Mason Hall SPECIAL GUEST: PROF. WM.

Pittsburgh gained only 118 yards rushing and 19 passing to Ohio's 242 on the ground and 83 through the air. The Bucks had 20 first downs to Pittsburgh's 5. The Panthers lost the ball twice on fumbles and twice on pass in- terceptions, to halt promising drives. BIG TEN STANDINGS W. L. T. Pet.

Fleet Illini Fill J.C.'s Shoes Halfbacks Abe Woodson and Jef- ferson, who more than adequately filled the shoes of the ailing J. C. Caroline, raked the Michigan line with a series of long gains to get the Illini off to their early lead. Woodson swept left end *for six yards and the touchdown that cli- maxed a 72 yard sustained drive. The Illini moved within striking distance three times in the last half, but the ease with which their fleet backs roamed in mid-field didn't hold inside Michigan's 20. Early in the third quarter Eliot's men moved from their own 9 to Michigan's 17 before the Wolver- ines tightened their defenses and stopped Woodson with no gain on a fourth and three situation.

Illini Roll The Illini again rolled when they got the ball after Baldacci's punt fell dead on Illinois' 16, but this time the drive was halted when Wolverine end Tom Maentz recov- ered Jefferson's fumble on the Michigan 34. The Wolverines got deep into Il- linois territory only once during the e!?tire second half, and that drive was both originated and bro- ken up by fumbles. In the middle of the last quarter a punt by Kramer was taken by Jefferson and lateraled to Woodson who fumbled and the ball was re- covered by Michigan ; guard Dick Hill. Five plays later Baldacci re- turned the favor and Illinois recov- ered on the 12. Both Michigan and Illinois had potential touchdowns nullified by penalties in the second quarter. After Kramer had blocked an at- tempted punt by Woodson and Ed Meads had recovered on the Illi- nois 15, three plays advanced the ball but three yards. Kramer took the ball on an end-around play and completed a pass to Maentz on the two, but the play was called back and Illinois took over because Kra- mer had passed from over the line of scrimmage.

Caroline sat out all but a couple minutes of the contest with his bad shoulder, but Jefferson and Wood- about the All-American as they son made the fans soon forget scampered for a combined total of 160 yards on the ground. Illinois led Michigan in total yardage rushing 190 to 173 and in first downs 17-15. Both teams fared fairly well through the air as Michigan com- pleted 6 of 15 passes for 112 yards and Illinois 10 of 18 for 85 yards. Danny Cline and Lou Baldacci sparked the Wolverine offense, with Cline leading both teams in total offense with 70 yards rushing in ten tries and 58 yards passing with three completions out of eight attempts. Baldacci, who alternated between the quarterback and full- back spots, picked up 58 yards in 14 rushing attempts. Canadiens Knock Wings Out of First MONTREAL (UP)-The Montreal Canadiens took over undisputed possession of first place in the National Hockey League last night by whipping the Detroit Red Wings 4-1. The Wings had been tied with Montreal for the top. Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion led the Canadiens by rapping in his 99th and 100th goals of his NHL career. The Wings were short Gordie Howe, their ace scorer, because of injuries. IIJ~jia~at Jinx Ends Ill. Mich.

Layne passed to Bob Hoern- schmeyer for one touchdown and his accurate aim set up an- other after the Detroit attack got into full gear in the second half. Baltimore outfought the visitors a good part of the first two periods. SPORTS Night Editor PHIL DOUGLIS W * 0 MSC Easily Win Games MADISON, Wis., LO --- Big Alan Ameche crunched out 59 yards to become the greatest groundgainer in college football history yester- day as Wisconsin barrelled over Northwestern, 34-13, in a Big Ten game before a record - equalling crowd of 53,131 at Camp Randall Stadium. The 210-pound fullback, "The Horse," the Badgers have ridden for four years, smashed an NCAA rushing record set three years ago by Ollie Matson at San Francisco University, as he ran his total to 3,186 yards in 660 carries. Mat- son's mark was 3,166 yards. Ameche scored one touchdown and Jimmy Miller passed for two as Wisconsin racked up its third conference triumph against two setbacks. Miller's replacement at quarterback, Jim Haluska, con- nected on a nine-yard pass for a fourth touchdown and sophomore halfback Billy Lowe cashed the other on a 23-yard sprint. Spartans Roll EAST LANSING, Mich. V?) - Michigan State, which had only one victory in six previous starts, cele- brated a holiday from Western Conference football play yesterday by pushing outclassed Washington State all over Macklin Stadium in a 54-6 runaway. The Spartans scored on three plays in the first three minutes of the first quarter, rambled for three more touchdowns in both the sec- ond and third quarters and added one more in the final period. Eight MSC backs and ends shared in the touchdown scoring with no repeaters. MSC also picked up a two-point safety and made four extra points. LATE HOCKEY SCORES Montreal 4, Detroit 1 Toronto 5, Chicago 2 The Morning After .. .by HANLEY GURWIN Rumor has it around Ann Arbor this morning that Michigan needs only two more victories to sew up a Rose Bowl berth. After having watched the Wolverines for six weeks running now, I am firmly convinced that when it comes to Michigan football, any- thing is possible, even two more victories. At times this season, the Wolverines have played as though they could lick any team in the country. At other times, they have looked as though they might be a soft touch for our friends at Slippery Rock State Teachers College. Between these two extremes are a few games when Michigan played the way an average Big Ten team would be expected to look. Last Saturday against Indiana and again yesterday against the Illini, they have more or less fallen into this middle category. When two Big Ten teams meet on the gridiron past records mean little and unless one of the two squads in unusually powerful while the other is unusually weak, no prediction of the outcome can be made with any degree of certainty. Although Michigan lost to Indiana and won over Illinois, the two games were very similar in many respects. Both contests were clean- ly played, hard fought affairs between Western Conference opponents in which neither team dominated the game to any great extent. In the Indiana tussle, the Wolverines seemed to have a slight ad- vantage in the ground gaining department but the Hoosiers stiffened on defense when the situation called for it, and succeeded in holding the Wolverines to only one touchdown. This is exactly the same way which Michigan earned wins over Northwestern and Illinois. The Wildcats ran wild over the Maize and Blue and Illinois seemed to have little difficulty in picking up ground anywhere on the field-anywhere but deep in Michigan ter- ritory that is. In yesterday's game, the difference in statistics is negligible. In first downs, the Wolverines compiled 15 to the Illini's 17. On the ground Michigan gained 173 yards while Illinois picked up 190. The Wolverines had a slight edge in passing, outgaining the visitors 112 yards to 85 yards in that department. The only real difference in the game seemed to be the share of the breaks that Michigan recelv- ed were the necessary share. Woodson Runs in Vain... A five-yard penalty for an illegal shift in the Illinois backfield nullified a 61-yard touchdown run by halfback Abe Woodson which would have put the invaders ahead by a touchdown midway through the second period. Neither team was able to take advantage of a "break" to score, with all three touchdowns being the climax of sus- tained drives up the field. A blocked punt by Ron Kramer, who played another sensational game at end for Michigan, and the recovery of two Illini fumbles, provided the Wolveries with scoring chances, but in each case the op- portunity was allowed to slip by. Illinois had its share of good fortune too, as two pass Intercep- tions and a penalty for an illegal forward pass cost the Wolverines touchdowns. The illegal pass play occured within the Orange and Blue's ten yard stripe in the second quarter. Kramer, on the end- around play, fired a complete pass to Tom Maentz on the two-yard line but the play was called back because Kramer was just over the line of scrimmage when the ball was thrown. Although moral victories don't count, the Illini, who were a decid- ed underdog going into the contest, have no need to be ashamed of their showing, even if it did result in their first defeat to the Wol- verines in five years. Next week Michigan State comes into Michigan Stadium for what the Wolverines are hoping to be the first of two big ones. For the first time this season, more than 97,000 fans will jam the stadium to see the Wolverines in action. Spartans To Shoot Works... Both squads want to win this one badly. The only consolation that the Spartans might find in this otherwise disastrous football season for them would be a victory over their state rivals, the Wol- verines. Michigan has not beaten the Green and White in the last four meetings between the schools and needs this one to regain its past status as the toast of the state of Michigan. Needless to mention, the Ohio State clash would hold little sig- nificance for the Wolverines if Michigan lost to the Spartans. This coming Saturday both teams will be in the right psycholog- ical state of mind for the contest. Either squad can very easily de- feat the other if it happens to be "on" while the other is "off." On paper Michigan appears to have a slight edge on the basis of the season's record, but that record isn't worth the paper it is printed on once the game starts. Anything is likely to happen and to me a score of 28-0 in favor of either team is a perfectly logical possibility. Any attempt at a prediction is more in the nature of a wishful thought than a calcu- lated opinion. The Wolverines have the ability to beat the Spartans. They have proven that with their showings against Iowa and Minnesota. Wheth- er or not they do, remains to be seen. In this league, nothing is a cer- tainty except the date, time, and place of the game.
