W   4 - 0 

Purdue's Jack Brown intercepted four Nile Kinnick passes in the game. Iowa had an apparent touchdown negated by a false start on Ken Pettit in the first half, and turnovers killed the other Iowa drives. A fumble ended Purdue's only serious scoring threat of a scoreless first half. The defensive struggle continued until early in the fourth quarter. A bobbled snap allowed Iowa to tackle Purdue for the safety and the game's first points. Mike Enich came crashing through the line for his second blocked punt of the game, and Purdue recovered it in the end zone for another Iowa safety. Iowa then ran out the clock on one of the most bizarre final scores in Hawkeye football history.
