Special to The Daiy
COLUMBUS-"Michigan was the
'ardest hitting defensive team we
played all year," said Ohio State
.oach Woody Hayes in a post-
lame interview yesterday.
The results of the Wolverines'
'ine defensive play was apparent
n the statistics. The Buckeyes,
who had been averaging 335 yards
Per game to lead the Big Ten in
otal offense were held to 168
rards.
* * *w
Hayes stuck to his basic full-
ack-quarterback offense for the
mntire game as either quarterback
rom Matte or fullback Bob Fergu-
on carried the ball on 41 of 42
Dhio State rushing plays.
Ferguson, who had been leading
be Big Ten in individual rushing
rardage, had 80 yards in 16 carries
whlle Matte, who had been second
n the same department gained
11 yards in 25 carries. Thirty-
ven of Ferguson's 80 yards came
n four rushes during the Buck-
yes' five-play, 42-yard touchdown
rive.

Buckeye Coach Hayes retained
his title as the nation's most warm
Wiooded coach as he wore lust a
hort sleeve shirt throughout most
>f the game despite the chilly 42
Megreetemperature.
Senior Dennis Fitzgerald, play-
ng his final game, led the Michi-'
an ballcarriers yesterday with 63
rards in 17 carries, several of
which were accomplished a la
'itzgerald (witt one or more Ohio
State tacklers hanging onto him).

8tamos completed a fine season of
lay by deflecting a key pass, re-
overing a fumble and breaking up
aumerous sweeps by quarterback

Yesterday's victory gave Ohio
State Coach Hayes his sixth win
n 10 years against Michigan. This
S a key statistic with Columbus'
abid Broad Street fans who count
MIchigan as the team they like to
eat most. Many a winning season
n Buckeye land is considered just
so-so because it does not include
s win over Michigan.

State 11-yard line. But at this
psoint, Mrukowski tackled Bennie
McRae behind the line after the
Michigan speedster had grabbed
a swing pass from Glinka, and
the Wolverines were faced with a
fourth and seven situation.
Coach Bump Elliott elected to
go for a field goal, but Bill Free-
han's boot was off to the right
and the first half ended moments
later. Four more times the Wol-
verines drove inside Ohio State's
territory but got no closer than
the 26-yard line on any occasion.
Like Michigan, Ohio State only
threatened once in the first three
quarters. After Michigan had held
Ohio State on the game's open-
ing series Ken Tureaud obliging-
ly gave the ball back to the Buck-:
eyes, fumbling on his own 38.
Matte and Ferguson moved the
ball to the 16, but Ferguson com-
mitted his lone error of the day
as he fumbled and John Stamos
recovered for Michigan on his
own nine-yard line.
Defensively, the Wolverines lim-
ited the league leaders in offense
to 168 yards, only half of the
Buckeyes' average of 335 yards
per game.
After the game, Elliott accur-
ately summed up the day's acti-
vities, "Defensively, we did all
right. I'm proud of the team. It's
a shame to lose after playing so
well.
Ohio State ended the season
with a 7-2 mark and avenged
last year's 23-14 defeat to Michi-
gan.
The loss put the Wolverines at
5-4, a one-game improvement over
last season's mark evening El-
liott's total record at 9-9.

TOP TEAM TOPPLED:
Jayhawks Rip Tigers, 23-7

By The Associated Press
COLUMBIA - The Kansas Jay-
hawks soundly peat Missouri's
fabled defenses, smashing the
nation's first-ranked Tigers 23-7
for the Big Eight conference foot-
ball championship yesterday.
Missouri had won its other nine
games this season. A record crowd
of 43,000 witnessed vicious, defen-
sive play by both teams until
Roger Hill's 47-yard field goal
split the crossbars in the third
quarter for the first score. Hard
tackling and fidgety ball handling

MANi t/itin
by MIKE GILLMAN
The Morning After
YOU LOST THE LAST GAME of the season. Your team actually
lost the game, but you feel it personally--as if you alone were
responsible.
It took a good team to do it. Ohio State is one of the best teams
in the country and your boys topped them in every department-but
not in the scoring column.
It leaves kind of a sour taste in your mouth. The season's over
now and all the bright hopes that you and your coaching staff har-
bored back on that cloudy September first are things of the past.
Some of them materialized. Others, such as an always hoped-for win
over the Buckeyes, didn't.
This morning, with your second season as head co'ach behind
you, you would like to sit back and spin the wheels of "if."
IF Dave Glinka hadn't had those two passes intercepted in the
last quarter yesterday, maybe .... IF that last great drive up at
Wisconsin a few weeks ago had started two minutes earlier, maybe
. . IF you had had a little more depth when that Michigan State
line wore your boys down in that second half at East Lansing, maybe
* . .. IF Michigan hadn't given the ball away to Minnesota seven
times, maybe....
BUT THERE -ISN'T much use in chewing over those games now.
Maybe if you think a little longer things won't look as bad as they
do on this "morning after."
Looking on the credit side of your ledger you find that you gave
Michigan its first winning season in three years and your first as a
head coach.
Take a quick look at the year. Try the Oregon game. Your
Wolverines didn't have any trouble taking a 21-0 win over a team
that was edged out of a Rose Bowl bid by a one-point loss to highly
ranked Washington (the only mar on Oregon's record since the
Michigan game). Didn't have a bad team that day.
Even look at the loss toMichigan State. Dropping a close game
to the heavily favored Spartans wasn't much of a disgrace.
THEN CAME DUKE. Since that easy 31-6 win over the Blue Devils,
you've been able to laugh up your sleeve at the brand of football
played in their part of the country this year. After that rugged day
in Ann Arbor, Duke waltzed through its schedule to a number six
national rating until stubbing its toe against North Carolina yester-
day.
From then on it was a Big Ten schedule all the way and you had
to take a little of the bitter with the sweet.
You bumped a good Northwestern team and then dropped close
games to Minnesota and Wisconsin. You called a couple of the right
plays as you settled your first of your family clashes of the coaching
brothers. After that win over Illinois you drew a breather against
Indiana and went into the Ohio State game as the only Big Ten team
with as much as a two-game winning streak.
So you lost the last one. Maybe it isn't much consolation but
you know that your boys played one of their best games. And even
Woody Hayes agreed afterwards and said that Michigan was "the
hardest hitting defensive team we played all year." You couldn't
have lost much face in Ohio Stadium if someone as blunt as Hayes,
will admit what he did.
Sure, today is Sunday and you lost a footbah game yesterday.
.But Thursday is Thanksgiving and .maybe as you and Mrs. Elliott
and all the little Elliotts gather around that turkey you might stop
to think that this wasn't such a bad year after all.

cost Kansas the ball four times
on fumbles, and Missouri three.
The third Missouri fumble set
up Kansas' first touchdown min-
utes after Hill's field goal. Quarter-
back John Hadl passed 19 yards to
halfback Bert Coan for the touch-
down. John Suder kicked the extra
point, and Kansas led 10-0 after
three quarters.
Kansas struck twice in the
fourth period while the Tigers
sandwiched in their only touch-
down. The Jayhawks moved 69
yards in 13 plays with Coan get-
ting another touchdown on a two-
yard jab over tackle. Suder again
converted.
North Carolina 7, Duke 6
Quarterback Ray Farris plunged
over for a touchdown with two
minutes remaining, and Fullback
Bob Elliott kicked the game-
winning point as inspired North
Carolina upset sixth-ranked Duke,
7-6, yesterday.
A crowd of 42,000 saw Duke go
ahead minutes earlier when full-
back Dave Burch dived over'from
the two. Sophomore Billy Rey-
nolds, who attempted two field
goals, tried thebextra point, but
it was partially blocked.
A dazzling 54-yard punt return
by, halfback Mark Leggett had
touched off Duke's scoring drive
on the Tar Heel 40.

IOWA CITY M - Forest Eva-
shevski yesterday tapped a young
assistant,' Jerry Burns, to be his
successor as Iowa head football
coach.

command at the same age Evy was

cord of 52 victories, 27 losses and
4 ties at Iowa, three Big Ten
championships and two Rose Bowl
triumphs.
Burnsis a 1950 graduate of

red as a quarterback.

MADISON -- Minnesota's Rose
Bowl-conscious Gophers captured
a share of the Big Ten football
championship by rolling past fired
up Wisconsin 26-7 yesterday on
touchdown drives in the first and
final period.
Knocked from' the unbeaten
ranks by Purdue last week, the
Gophers managed a Western Con-
ference tie with Iowa by throwing
up a tight defense against Wiscon-
sin in a traditional windup before
55,576 fans. Minnesota and Iowa
finished with 5-1 records in Big
Ten play.
The Gophers, rated fourth in!
the national rankings, struck for
touchdowns the first two times
they had possession of the ball and
then, taking no chances played
conservatively until the fourth
period when they increased the
victory margin with two more
scores.

tion's second-ranked grid team,

a fitting farewell gift yesterday
with a closing 28-0 victory over
Notre Dame's tough, but erring
Irish.
With Minnesota's 26-7 conquest'
of Wisconsin, the Gophers tied
,Iowa for the Big Ten title, each
with a 5-1 record. Thus, both are
eligible for a possible Rose Bowl
bid-with Iowa hoping its chances
may be enhanced by possible num-
ber one recognition in the AP's na-
tional poll
After Iowa scored in the first
period on Joe Williams' six-yard
smash, the Hawkeyes used runs of
34 yards by. Sammy Harris, 39 by
Larry Ferguson and 36 by Gene
Mosley to set up their remaining
three touchdowns.

State's mighty manpower crushed
a gallant Detroit team with a sec-

Michigan State was a 23-point
pre-game favorite and it looked
early as If the Big Ten Spartans
were going to stage a runaway as
they spurted ahead 15-0 early in
the first half.
But Detroit made it 15-15 at one
point in the first half and was
still in the game fighting 'until
sophomore quarterback Jerry Gross
of Bay City was knocked out of
action with a broken nose near
the end of the third period.

Thornton passed and ran North-
western to a 14-7 victory over Illi-
nois yesterday in a Big Ten foot-
ball finale.
Thornton, 20-year-old Chicagoan
who was disabled last year with a
broken ankle suffered in North-
western's second game, returned
the opening kickoff 83 yards to
set up the Wildcats' first touch-
down, and took charge in an 87-
yard drive in the final quarter for
the game-winning touchdown.
Illinois threatened late in the
fourth quarter when Mel Meyers
tossed a 41-yard pass to Thurman
Walker to the Northwestern 12.
But the fired-up Wildcats not only
held, they tossed Meyers for a;
couple of losses and took over on
the 19-yard line.
The outcome gave both teams
5-4 records for the season, and
2-4 in conference play.
