Irish risk no. 1 ranking versus keyed Purdue
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI)—When the Irish take on the Boilermakers Saturday, look for a real bar-room browl.
Notre Dame, ranked No. 1 in the nation after crushing a strong Oklahoma team in its season opener, plays host to Purdue, rated No. 2 in the country, in the biggest game of the year for both clubs.
A victory for either squad could lead to a national championship and the title of "the best team in college football."
But, besides all the obvious rewards at stake, there is the matter of personal pride. The Notre Dame-Purdue rivalry has been a rugged one for both Indiana schools since the series began back in 1896. The Fighting Irish hold a 23-14-2 advantage over Purdue but are out to avenge a 28-21 defeat suffered at the hands of the Boilermakers last year.
Both Notre Dame and Purdue have awesome offenses. Senior quarterback Terry Hanratty runs the Irish attack. Hanratty's favorite passing target is Jim Seymour, who last week scored two touchdowns to break Leon Hart's school record for most touchdowns caught. Seymour now has 14 career scoring catches.
Notre Dame's running backs are led by senior Bob Gladieut, who opened the season in fine fashion by scoring three times in a 45-21 rout of the Sooners.
Purdue's most potent offensive weapon is Leroy Keyes, a talented runner-passer-kicker who led the nation in scoring in 1967 with 114 points and was

Reimer, who shot an eight-under-par 64, teamed with Sue Regier, Buhler junior, June Whitaker, and Don Jarratt, Jacksonville. Ill. junior, to win with a score of 309.
In second place was a team of Steve Allen, Topeka junior; Sarah Allison, Topeka junior; Jim Dickinson, Coffeyville senior; and Patty Treat, Iola senior; who shot 340.
Trophies were awarded to each couple on the winning team and to the medalist. The meet, originally scheduled for three nights, was completed in four hours. Eighteen teams entered.

Booing to Dawson like paying taxes
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)—Len Dawson would be justified in saying it. But he won't.
"I'm getting a bum rap" is one thing Dawson will never say.
That's because the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback is, above all else, a gentleman in the truest sense of the word.
The first to share with his teammates in the savor of a personal success, Dawson is the one who by himself bears the brunt of a team failure.
Reserve Jacky Lee, the man the crowd had demanded throughout the first half, took over in the final two quarters and directed four touchdown drives.
The American Football League's all-time leading passer is taking the blame for the Chiefs' early-season offensive inconsistency. A crowd of 45,821 gave Dawson the worst verbal beating of his life in the first half of last Sunday's 34-2 victory over Denver in which the Chiefs led only 6-2 at intermission.
"I don't like the boos, nobody does, but it's all part of the game," Dawson says. "It's like taxes, you don't like it but you've got to live with it.
"I thought Jacky came in and
took charge," Dawson said. "He did a great job. He gave us a lift when we needed it most."
Dawson has yet to throw a TD pass in three games and hasn't driven the team to a touchdown in the last six quarters he's played. Still, he's hitting better than 60 per cent of his passes and has not thrown the interception.
"The quarterback's performance is the end result." Dawson said. "He's the guy who gets the credit when you win and he's the guy who gets the blame when you lose.
"If I knew what the trouble was I'd correct it," he said. "Everybody is out there doing his best."
But Dawson's pass protection in the first half last Sunday was, at times, very poor. Despite being subjected to a brutal Denver rush, he hit 10 of 15 passes.
Three times he was dropped for losses, and on three other occasions when he had the Chiefs moving, penalties killed the drive.
you can say penalties kill drives but they don't really," he said. "It all depends on how you look at it."
