Murphy batted in four field goals and dropped in four free throws, while Wooden drilled through the ; Wildcat defense for six baskets and added a free throw. Northwestern put up a hard fight in the first half, but Purdue led by 19 to 11. In the final session the Boilermakers ran wild and, but for missed short shots, would have built up an even more imposing margin. Tilinois’ loafing offense and power- could figure out. The Wolverines were held to four field goals, two each by ‘Truskowski and Chapman, while the Illini sneaked through for nine. Ernie Kamp scored three from the field for Illinois, while Harper and Captain Doug Mills who played his first game of the season, accounted for two each.
