L   14 - 19 

Purdue's alert Boilermakers intercepted two Iowa passes and pounced on five fumbles today to survive a record Hawkeye aerial assault. Gary Snook, the Iowa quarterback, hit on 26 of 49 passes for 310 yards, and his completions tied the Big Ten record and his attempts and yardage both set conference marks. Purdue scored its winning touchdown on a pass interception. George Catavolos, a defensive end, intercepted two of Snook's aerials, one of them on the Iowa 29 and scoring what proved to be the margin of victory.

The Boilermakers set up their other two scores on another interception and an Iowa fumble. The Boilermakers took an early lead, in the first quarter when Catavolos picked off a Snook pass deep in his own territory and carried it 51 yards to the Iowa 44. Purdue made it 13‐0 when Jim Long, an end, dived on a fumble. Purdue marched 54 yards and QB Bob Griese sneaked over from the 1. He added the extra point. Iowa narrowed the gap with a 75‐yard march capped by a 15‐yard scoring pass from Snook to Dalton Kimble, a sophomore halfback. Catavolos then scored on his second interception to make it 19‐7.

Iowa again traveled the airwaves after picking off a pitchout on the Purdue 22. The Snook ‐ to ‐ Kimble combination clicked again for eight yards and the final Hawkeye touchdown. Iowa threatened late in the game, but the fifth Hawkeye fumble killed the comeback attempt.
