LAFAYETTE, Nov. 16. Clicking once again as of old, after reeling to three consecutive defeats, the gridiron gladiators of Purdue celebrated Dad's day this afternoon before a shivering crowd of 15,000 by turning back Iowa, 12 to 8, in a vicious encounter that was decided by the aerial route. No. 66 of the Hawkeyes, Ozzie Simmons to you, whose sparkling touchdown dashes have demoralized more than one foe this season, was in the thick of the fray almost for its duration, and his bullet pass at the outset of the second half hit the bull's-eye for his team's only points, but down on the battle-scarred sod he found himself on the spot and never able to offer a serious threat.

With their principal offensive weapon trapped almost at every turn, the invaders from the land where the tall corn sprouts had little else to display in the way of a scoring punch and were outplayed by a wider margin than the touchdown 4 BY W.

The lengthening shadows of a somber November found the Crimson banner of a stouthearted Indiana University football eleven proudly floating in the lake front breeze over this historical battle 'field today. Bo McMillin's warriors, playing "heads up" football, tvmp'cd the Maroons of Chicago University in a hard fought, brilliant and decisive contest by a score of 24 to 0, representing three touchdowns, three points from conversion ufter the promised land had been reached, and one field goal from plncemi nt.

The biggest triumph, of which' there have been very few, was hung up In IDul when Indiana walloped the Mid way ilea 32-to-6. In twenty four previous engagements before today, with the one exception, no I. U. team scored more than one touchdown.

McGannon Scores on 60-Yard Dash. The hero of Purdue's well-earned victory was Tom McGannon, 178-pound halfback, who intercepted a pass bearing the Simmons label in the third quarter and hot-footed it across the ehalkmarks on a spectacular sixty yard journey that eventually spelled curtains for the opposition. Following an exchange of menacing gestures in the inaugural quarter, the Boilermakers cashed in on a second period opportunity to assume the lead. Cecil Isbell ignited th scoring flame when he flashed from his own thirty-four-yard line to the forty-three on a reverse, then faded back and whipped a pass to Loebs, right end, who hurried on to Iowa's thirty before he was bowled over. This twenty-seven-yard advance was followed by several futile attempts to sustain the drive, then came the burst of touchdown lightning that sent the home team on its way.

After being dumped to earth on Iowa's twenty-one, making it third and fifteen, Isbell fell back to the twenty-seven and aimed an aerial thrust at Loebs.

Wabash and DePauw fought to a scoreless tie here this afternoon before a home-coming crowd of 3,000 spectators.
