Coach Hunk Anderson suddenly COL
lapsed and absorbed their worst licking
since 1928 as the Boilermakers' backs
converted one of their aerial thrIsts
into one score and then laid down a
barrage of passes themselves to turn
the game into rout.

newspaper headlines everywhere as the
next foot ball coach at Notre Dame,
looked on happily.
Febel, an alert right guard, stopped
the romp in the second period after
Notre Dame stopped a Boilermaker
drive with a magnificent stand on its
own 2-yard line. Nick Lucats at

but Febel slipped in, picked the ball
out OF the air and raced for Is yards

added the extra point with . drop-kick.
Back came the Ramblers with
passing attack, Lukats to Devore, for

missed pass on the goal line.

downed on the 21a-yard mark for first
