Boilermakers Soar
After Rival Takes
First-HaIf Lead
By the Associated Press.


IOWA CITY, Iowa, Oct. 21.-The
all-civilian Iowa grid kids" taunted
Purdue with game leading, second
period touchdown today, and then
lived to regret their challenge as
the Boilermakers turned on the
steam to win in the last half, 26
to 7.
The joy for Iowa's Homecoming
fans, as they saw their favorites
take the lead-7 to 6-for the first
time in their three games this sea-
son. was short-lived. Purdue roared
back early in the third period to
regain the upper hand and then
virtually toyed with the Hawkeyes.
BY their victory, the Boilermakers,
reinforced by servicemen, kept their
Big Ten Conference record clear in
two games, although they have lost
two other contests.
The young Hawks, six points be-
hind going into the final minute
of the first half, struck fast on four
plays after a Purdue tumble on the
25-yard line.
Purdue sewed up the game with
13 points in the third quarter and
despite it took off the pressure
added another touchdown in the
final period.
1t was Iowa's third straight con-
ference defeat, it having previously
lost to Ohio State and Illinois.

Although Bob CHunch) Hoern-

yards for the second Hoosier touch
down.

ball on the goal line and spun across.
Fulback Don Funderburg booted the
point.
In the same period the Hoosiers
made a 70-yard march to North
Westerns 6, but fumbled and the
Wildcats recovered. Northwestern
threatened again at the start of the
fourth period. 1t was the second
conference triumph against one de-
feat for the Hoosiers, whose form
was far below that in their 300 VIC

Now, to complete the picture, two
rebels from these clubs pop up in
Brooklyn suits and probably will
play today. Johnny Butler, the
flashy halfback obtained from the
Chi-Pitts, is expected to see some
defensive action at least, and there
is chance he'll carry the ball. Bob
Trocolar, former Giant back, who
failed to accompany the team to
Buffalo when not guaranteed a
lower berth on the return trip, will
play. He is a passer and his &C

weigh heavily in the final outcome.

But the Skins are ready and Just
as eager to prove themselves before
their supporters as the Tigers are
to knock them off. Baugh's return
has given new confidence to the
squad, removed whatever uncer-
tainty it had of winning. Every
last player of them had the feeling
he could kick the Stufiing out of
anything in the league before Sam
came back. Now they seem to feel
they can make the score any figure
you care to name.
Until yesterday the Redskins were
considered simply another strong
contender for the Eastern Division
honors, with Philadelphias high
flying Eagles regarded as the team
to beat. Now the Injuns once again
are the favorites and the club is
bursting its collective britches for
