HUBBARD SLACKS By The Associated Press EAST LANSING-Purdue, batt- ling for roses, and Michigan State, aiming for other bouquets, clash in Spartan Stadium today in a game that could decide the Big Ten title. Purdue could end up represent- ing the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl whether it wins or loses. But a victory could clinch the honor. Michigan State played in the bowl last season and, under Big Ten rules, is not eligible for a return trip. So the Spartans -are aiming at the No. 1 spot in the national rankings. Dream Match If both Notre Dame and the Spartans continue unbeaten, the showdown for the mythical na- tional championship will come Nov. 19, when the two teams meet in Spartan Stadium. Meanwhile, the showdown for the Big Ten lead is now. Both Pur- due and MSU are unbeaten in con- ference play. MSU has a 3-0 re- cord (5-0 over-all), and Purdue has a 2-0 mark (4-1 over-all, with a 26-14 loss to Notre Dame). Pur- due ranks No. 9 in the national polls. Today's game will match two flashy quarterbacks-Purdue's Bob Griese, who gave MSU fits last year, and MSU's Jimmy Raye, a scrambler who ranks second in the Big Ten in total offense. Last year, snapping away his passes before MSU rushers could get to him, Griese led Purdue*to a 10-0 lead which held up until MSU scored two foarth quarter touchdowns. This year he has thrown 104 passes and completed 64 for 804 yards and five touchdowns. Raye has accounted for 659 yards-395 on 24 pass completions in 51 at- tempts and 264 on 64 running plays, for a rushing average of 4.2 yards a carry. Griese is expected to do plenty of passing. So far, Spartan de- fenders have held opponents to an average of only 41 yards a game on rushing plays. Buckeyes-Badgers COLUMBUS - Ohio State tries to shake the shackles of a three- game losing streak in a Big Ten clash against Wisconsin this aft- ernoon. It's Homecoming Day, and that, plus the prospect of losing four straight for the first time in 23 years should give the Buckeyes all the incentive they need to crack the victory column. The oddsmakers like the Bucks by two touchdowns. Ohio, still seeking its first Big Ten tiiumph, has a 1-3 record, but may have come of age in that tough 11-8 loss to Michigan State. Wisconsin Badgered Coach Milt Bruhn's Badgers are 2-2-1 over-all and show a victory and a tie in the league. But the punchless Badgers, who have scored only one touchdown in their last four games, haven't won at Ohio Stadium since 1918 and are looking for their first victory over the Bucks since 1959. Ohio, which has tallied only one touchdown and three field goals in its two conference games, again will rely on the passing of sopho- By The Associated Press NORMAN -No. 1-ranked Notre Dame, called by some the finest football team ever at the tradi- tion-rich school, tests the mettle of upset-minded Oklahoma in a battle of unbeatens here this af- ternoon. The Irish of 'Coach Ara Par- seghian have stormed by four op- ponents and just this week claim- ed the top spot in the Associated Press rankings. They can pass. run and have allowed opponenis just over five points a game. Oklahoma Surprises Here they will meet a surprising- ly strong Oklahoma team that has won each of the four games it ha Southerly winds with gusts up to 35 miles per hour are forecast for game time. The strong winds might limit the passing of Irish sophomore Terry Hanratty, but Notre Dame could then fall back on the cap- able running of halfback Nick Eddy and fullback Larry Conjar. Oklahoma, while it hasn't ap- peared as pass-minded as Notre Dame, has used the airways effec- tively. Quarterback Bob Warmack has hit 32 of 52 attempts and the Sooners have garnered 616 of their 1.244 total offensive yards through the air.

At the same time the Irish will expect some respect befitting their newly-acquired No. 1 position in their game with 10th rated Oklahoma. played under new Coach Jim kenzie. The Sooners are ra tenth.
