Purdue football teams' nickname ("Boilermakers") this year has grim associations. Last September, the flame from a locker-room hotwater boiler ignited gasoline spilled by players using it to loosen bandages, burned Purdue Footballers Carl Dahlbeck and Tom McGannon to death. In the Memorial Stadium at Minneapolis last week, the memorial planned by Purdue-a conference championship-was shattered by Minnesota, 33-to-0.
Still headed for another Big Six championship, Nebraska's husky Cornhuskers' two touchdowns in the first half came too soon for Oklahoma's Sooners, 14-to-0.
Night before Southern California's football team beat theirs, 14-to-7, 300 exuberant Stanford youths smashed the doors of a theatre, did $300 damage inside, were prevented by police with tear gas from breaking into Roble Hall, girls' dormitory, to climax their annual "pajamarino riot."
