    BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Oct. 20 -Halfback Bobby league cut a lot of fancy capers today to lead Wisconsin to a 30–⁠14 victory over Indiana. The home coming crowd of 3d. 900 watched the Indiana line take a beating in the 70-degree tenn perature. It was the 18th time Indiana had been beaten in its rs homecoming games. league, a shifty 170-pounder scored two touchdowns on long twisting runs and caught a 20 yard pass from Bob Petruska for another. That gave Wisconsin q 900 midway margin and the reserve-poor Indiana teams second half rally had too far to go. The Wisconsin fullback’s fan ciest running was in a 43-yard touchdown sprint in the last two minutes of the second quarter. Wisconsin twice went into a field goal formation in the second hall after slowing down on long drives. The first was a fake and Jim Embach scooted eight yards fora touchdown. The second was authentic and Iisle Blackburn kicked q goal from the 19-yard
