SUNDAY, OCTOBER. 1, 1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN SUNflAY, OCTOBER 1,1967 TIlE MICHItAN DAiLY PAGE SEVEN Last Minute Cal Pass Dowiis Wolverines (continued from Page 1) lost a net of two yards, and the call was made for Miller. The rest of the first quarter settled down into a defensive struggle, as the Bears prevented the Wolverine offense from chalk- ing up a first down. First Downs Michigan, however, opened the second quarter by gaining its in- itial first down and proceeded to reel off four more as it marched from its own 29 to the Califor- nia 17. But from there, the Wol- verines were held to no gain on three plays and Frank Titas was called upon to attempt a 34 yard field goal. The kick, however, was wide to the left and California was able to cling to its three- point lead. Michigan closed out the scor- ing in the first half by compiling a touchdown on a 33 yard drive capped by Ron Johnson's scoring plunge. A 16 yard punt by Gary Fowler had given the Wolverines excellent field position, and Vid- mir, sticking to the ground, pitch- ed out twice in a row to Warren Sipp for a total of 30 yards. And on his third try from close yard- age Johnson took the ball in. Brian Healy was wide to the left on the extra point and the half ended with Michigan holding a, 6-3 lead. . Short Story The story of the second half can be wrapped up in those ten seconds it took McGaffie to catch up to the football and carry it into the end zone. Michigan had an excellent op- portunity late in the fourth quar- ter to put the game out of Califor- nia's reach when linebacker Bob Wedge recovered a Bear's fumble on California's 19 yard line. Johnson and Sipp were thrown for no gain, but Vidmir hit Ber- line for a gain of six. With force and for, Elliott decided against going for the first down and sent Hankwitz in to make the 30 yard placement. "We had to go for the sure three," Elliott observed after the game. "We knew that a touch- down and the point after would beat us but we figured the de- fense would hold them. You have to count on your defense in a situation like that. Besides, they they had been doing a great job all day long." Not An Upset Even though Michigan had trotted out on the field as a seven point favorite, Willsey re- fgused to call the California vic- tory an upset: "Before the ball game I thought we were two pretty equal teams so I don't call this win as a surprise. I'm sure this will go down as one of our best defensive efforts, but * * * * * * * * * -Associated Press MICHIGAN'S RON JOHNSON grimaces as he struggles for one extra inch of ground in yesterday's heartbreaking 10-9 loss. Johnson got the extra yardage for a first down but the Wolverines' fate rested finally on a Bear 71-yard TD pass. BLUE TALE: The Longest Shot USC, Zesty State Falls Short By FRED LaBOUR Special To The Daily EAST LANSING - Southern California narrowly defeated a much-improved Michigan State football team here yesterday 21-17. The Trojans, rated number two in the country last week, were paced by the explosive running of junior O. J. Simpson and the bril- liant passing of quaterback Steve Sogge. Simpson carried the ball on nearly half of the total number of plays that Southern Cal exe- cuted, gaining 191 yards. Sogge, managing his team's offense with the skill of a seasoned pro, con- nected on 14 out of 16 pass at- tempts, to roll up 182 yards. Coach Duffy Daugherty's Spar- tans displayed an astonishing amount of spirit and desire as they bounced back from last week's disastrous loss to Houston. Zest!' "We played with enthusiasm and zest," said Daugherty after the game. "I think everyone will agree that this was a different Michigan State team than you saw last week." Southern Cal scored first in the seesaw battle early in the first quarter. Michigan State punted out of bounds on Southern Cal's 29 yard line, and Coach John McKay's of- fensive unit raced into the fray. They covered 71 yards in just seven plays with the ubiquitous O. J. carrying on six of them, in- cluding his final eight yard blast up the middle into the end zone. Rikki Aldridge converted. Harbingers The second quarter, surely one of the most hectic unusual, and confusing periods ever recorded on a college gridiron, began inno- cently enough with the Spartans on their own 44 yard line. No one suspected that the scoreboard, which momentarily went berserk and began showing Trojan scores as Spartan and vice versa, was the harbinger of things to come. The fireworks commenced just two plays later though, as State's Bets Imzproved' -Daily-Thomas R. copi USC'S O. J.

The Spartan's converted on a two-point attempt to go ahead 15-14. Just before the first half gun went off, Southern Cal tried to punt while deep in their own territory. The ball was centered over punter Aldridge's head and he was forced to pick it up on his 5 yard line. He immediately stepped into the endzone giving State an automatic two points on the safety. Wise Decision Daugherty explained that Ald- ridge made a wise decision. "If he hadn't stepped into the end zone we would have gotten the ball inside their 10 and chances are we would have scored." He just traded six points for two." That was the end of State's scoring for the afternoon. Southern Cal took the second half kick off and methodically reeled off 74 yards in 11 plays to score their last touchdown in a drive McKay later termed, "the turning point of the game."~ Simpson grabbed the Sogge pitchout on State's 5 yard line, faked toward the goal, stopped short, and demonstrated his ver- sitility by firing a perfect pass to Jim Lawrence in the end zone. Michigan State scored on another pass in the third period, but this effort was nullified by an offensive interference penalty. 0. J Rips Spartans By PAT O'DONOHUE Special To The Daily "Beat O.J.!," screamed several thousand Spartan fans. No, Vir- ginia, there is no college team in the country with the nick- name, or even the official name, of O.J. O.J. is the name of a halfback - O.J. Simpson, Southern Cal halfback to be exact. Yesterday, no one could stop O. J. Simpson, Despite a muddy field Simpson piled up more than 100 yards rushing in the firs, half, another 90 in the second, scored the first Trojan touchdown on an eight yard run in the first period and then literally flew a yard in the second quarter to score a second touchdown for the second-ranked Trojans. Although Simpson racked up 190 yards rushing and threw a touchdown pass to Jim Lawrence he wasn't the only Trojan on the field. By definition, anyway. 0. J. does everything for the unbeaten Trojan squad - he can run a right sweep or a left sweep, he can throw a remarkable screen pass and can twirl his way right up the middle with two or three defenders trailing along for the ride. Duffy Daugherty, hapless coach of the unranked and winless Spartans, compared Simpson to Warren McVeagh, Houston half- back. They're both elusive and shifty but Daugherty said Simp- son was more powerful. "He makes mistakes but he has the speed to run away from them." USC Coach John McKay, who thinks Simpson is the best half- back in the nation, said "I think Simpson played rather well" Which is like saying that there is a rather tight race for the Am- erican League pennant. "He had a charley horse all week and didn't practice much." GRID PICKS SCORES California 10, MICHIGAN 9 Rice 21, Navy 7 So.

EVANSTON, Ill. (oA) - Quarter- back Gary Kombrink was a one- man gang and Missouri's defense did a smothering job to lead the Tigers to a 13-6 football victory over Northwestern yesterday. Northwestern, a stunning 12-7 victor over Miami of Florida, was unable to contain Kombrink in a 71-yard Missouri touchdown drive in the first quarter. The Tigers iced the game with 37 and 35 yard field goals by Jay Wallace. Kombrinc, who ran, and passed for 233 yards, sparked Missouri's long scoring drive by passing three times for 54 yards and scooting 13 on a keeper to set up a one-yard scoring plunge by fullback Barry Lischner. The key play in the Tiger march was Kombrink's 28-yard toss to halfback Henry Brown on North- western's one-yard line. tBy - om ~tVuNr FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.
