You ' re not really seeing triple. It ' s two Buckeyes and a Hoosier in that tangle. They are trying for a pass which was incomplete in the fourth quarter of the game. The Buckeyes moved into undisputed first place in the Big Ten Conference as they defeated a rugged Indiana team 20-13. They were helped into this posi- tion, surprisingly enough by Illinois who beat Michi- gan, 25-6. This news really boosted many hopes of once again winning the conference championship. Indiana was the victim of a costly fumble late in the first period that later led to a score by Hopalong Cassady. The line, although outweighed by the Hoos- iers, played a fine ball game. Among the standouts of this game was Lynn Theis who, while sharing signal calling honors with Frank Ellwood, guided the Bucks to two touchdowns. The men behind the crimson and cream pulled an old Buckeye trick by scoring as the final gun sounded. Naturally the touchdown counted. In the opinion of many, including Woody Hayes, we had faced the roughest opponent so far this season. Even though there were no particularly memorable plays, the team played such fine ball that this game will always be a standout in the minds of Ohio State football en- thusiasts. scarlet and grey rout hoosier opposition 20-13 Our Buckeye has intentions of going all the way even though a mass of white with looks of confidence on their faces aro closing in. 1 ' J! i 166

The eve of the Wisconsin game brought sad and untimely news. Ex-varsity player Dick Helinski had died in an auto accident. Going into the game with sobered spirits, the Bucks fought; but early in the second quarter they were trailing 14-0. Power play and key passes from Ellwood and Cassady to Rose- boro sliced the Badgers ' lead until State finally over- powered them. Among the standouts of the day was Frank Ellwood, who proved himself a Big Ten quarterback by scoring three times on quarterback sneaks. Wisconsin broke loose and brought the ball to Ohio ' s two yard line. With four downs to try, a brilliant goal line stand kept the Badgers from scoring. After last week ' s loss, this was a brilliant victory. The next day Coach Woody Hayes put it wisely, You can believe that the boys worked a little harder for Dick. trip to Wisconsin pays off for bucks 26-16 Another touchdown! At Wisconsin quarter- back Franlc Ellwood scores the first of his three touchdowns. A pile up near the goal — the Buckeyes are stopped on this play but wait until the neit try. 165

Ohio Stadium ' s third largest crowd— 82,701 cheering fans— the score 20-10— Ail-American Hop Cassady breaking the all time Ohio State scoring record-what more could one ask? Yes, it was a magnificent show as the Buckeyes, led by the stalwart linemen and ever- ready backs defeated a very stubborn Iowa team. The victory was highlighted by the brilliant showing of Howard Cassady, whose three touchdowns totally shattered the long-standing Ohio scoring record set by Chic Harley in 1919. The first touchdown, a beauti- ful run of forty-five yards was the one that did it. Iowa took the opening kickoff and drove to the Ohio nineteen yard line before they were held for three downs. From that spot they kicked a field goal to lead 3-0. The Bucks took the ball on the 50 as Iowa twice kicked out of bounds. On the second play from scrimmage, Cassady carried for the touchdown. Iowa scored once, then State added two more markers to end the game 20-10. The win gave the Bucks a 5-0 Western Conference mark and set the stage for the big show of the year at Michigan. i p, t t m • v 7 Hero Hopalong faces an evil situation when a badman from the West tries to steal a foot, but these lowan rustlers couldn ' t stop the stampede of the Bucks. hoppy breaks record as bucks down iowa 20-10 Iowa ' s Ail-American player, Calvin Jones (62). seems to be the spark behind the attack towards State ' s Ail-American Howard Cassady. 167
