Sport: Football Scoreboard

¶”I’ve got a secret,” crowed Purdue Coach Jack Mollenkopf. “I’ll say no more.” He didn’t have to. Whatever his secret was, it touched off a fire under his injury-ridden Boilermakers. Sophomore Quarterback Ross Fichtner, starting his first game, called his shots like a pro; Fullback Bob Jarus was a one-man wrecking crew. Between them, they clanged out a 20-13 victory over the top-ranked Spartans of Michigan State.

¶As if to confuse the Big Ten further, underrated Illinois salvaged a hospitalized halfback named Bob Mitchell, and turned him loose against high-riding Minnesota. Result: Illinois 34, Minnesota 13.

¶Overzealous officials carried the ball more than the players as Maryland and North Carolina lazed through the first quarters of their game before the royal visitors, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Then the Maryland boys remembered their duty as hosts, put on an impressive show to upset the Tarheels 21-7.

¶Army’s Black Knights were supposed to have a tough time handling the powerful invaders from Pitt. They did−for half the game. After that they got rolling and wrecked the Panthers 29-13.

¶Unbeaten Princeton figured to be three touchdowns 0better than Colgate. By the time the first half ended the Tigers seemed capable of turning back the Red Raiders with their third team. Instead, they turned too polite for words and fumbled away the game 12-10.
