(Continued from Page 1)
That it would not be Michigan's
day was clear when McRae fum-
bled on the second play of the
game and Wayne Fontes recov-
ered for the Green squad. Eight
plays- later, senior halfback Gary
Ballman cracked over for the
score and Art Brandstatter made
the first of four successful con-
version kicks.
With about 10 minutes left in
the first quai'ter,- Spartan quar-
terback Pete Smith, hotly pursued
by Wolverines, launched an end-
over-end pass down the right side-
line. Michigan's Jack Strobel mis-
judged the heave and it landed
in the arms of soph end Matt
Snorton for a 46-yd. completion.
Seconds later, Saimes scampered
over three Wolverines for 17 yds.
and paydirt.
Michigan received a break in
the second quarter when Jeff

game, was good for a ten-yard gain.
ble on the MSU 36. But the fates
were against the Wolverines as
McRae's 23-yd. gallop for a TD
was nullified by an illegal mo-
tion infraction and the 'M' squad
remained shut out.
Lincoln provided the key play
in the third Spartan tally drive,
when he took the ball on a dou-
ble reverse over left tackle for 42
yds. to the Michigan 22. Smith
hit Carl Charon with a 10-yd. pass
in the end zone with only 21 sec-
onds remaining in the half.
Brandstatter converted and the
score was 21-0 at the half.
Michigan's hard luckc continued
when the Blue team found itself
with a first down on State's three-
yd. line. Four plays later, a run
by Raimey and three dives by
fullback Bill Tunnicliff found the
ball still inches outside of the
promised land.
state could not advance the
ball and Michigan again drove
into MSU territory only to have a
pass interception eliminate the
threat. The interception started
the Spartans toward their final
touchdown. Sherm Lewis cracked
over from two yds. out with four
minutes gone in the final quarter
for the score.
Michigan Aerials
As was expected, the Wolver-
ines were forced to go to the air
against the hard-charging line of
the Spartans. Dave Glinka did all
the passing, with eight comple-
tions in 18 attempts. for 84 yds.
He had a single interception.
His MSU counterpart, Smith,
was not forced to pass much but
when he did he discredited those
rumors of his inability to fling the
pigskin. He completed four for
six for a tidy 82, yds. and one TD.
It was apparent in the Army game
last week that Michigan's pass de-
fense needed tightening and the
few times it was tested yesterday
indicated that same lack.
All three of the Spartan touch-
downs scored on the ground were
over the left tackle-left end posi-
tion. MSU Coach - Hugh "Duffy"
Daugherty denied that the Spar-
tans had picked that hole as a
weak one. "We were running well
through all the line."
The win was the second for the
East Lansing squad in two Big'
Ten outings and leaves them at
the top of the conference stand-
ings.
Although Michigan's starters
outweighed the Spartans by an
average of two lbs. per man, it
was not the Green depth that con-
tributed to the MSU victory.
Daugherty placed the praise on
his defensive unit which he called
"small but fiery."
Attendance for the nationally-
televised contest was 103,198,
which was only 136 shy of the
Michigan Stadium record set in
1959 when the two teams last col-
lided.
This early-season clash for the
Paul Bunyan-Governor's trophy
was expected by many to decide
which one should rate number
one in the national rankings, as
well as possibly deciding the even-
tual conference champion. Michi-
gan was ranked second by UPI
while. the AP picked them sixth
and the Spartans fifth.
Experienced Squad
It was an experienced Wolver-
ine squad, considered by many to
be superior to last year's team.
The line was bigger, the backs all
veterans. But the inevitable ten-
sion that builds up before a tra-
ditional rivalry like this one af-
fected both differently.
Daugherty said his team was in
"a perfect frame of mind, su-
premely confident but not in an
arrogant way." Elliott admitted his
squad was "a little bit too tight
and nervous."
"They just jumped on us," the
Michigan coach said.
Michigan never got a chance to
kick off in the game. MSU won
the toss and chose the north goal
for the wind advantage. Michi-
gan elected to receive. Then the
Wolverines chose to receive at the
beginning of the second half.
Although a number of players
were removed from the game with
temporary ailments, Spartan cap-
tain Earl "Rocky" Ryan was the
only one who suffered a serious
injury, dislocating his right shoul-
der.
NOW IKNOW how the Romans felt when Rome fell. Sort of stunned,
sort of sick and sort of unbelieving. But at least they went down
fighting. We went down with an interception on the 49-yard line. I
mean it. It's getting so I can't look a cow in the eye anymore. Somehow
I feel inferior.
It was David and Goliath all over again, only this time Goliath
won. And if you think the original David and Goliath story is some-
what untenable, listen to this one. Last week the University of Michi-
gan football team defeats the United States Army, Yesterday it
couldn't even whip the Future Farmers of America.
I'm not bitter or anything, it's just that some Michigan State
fan hit me with a role of toilet tissue on my way to the dressing
rooms after the game. I would've thrown it back but I figured if we
played anymore like this one I might need it. Besides if I did.it
would've been our longest completion of the day, and I hate publicity.
Last Friday night the, fraternity pledges were guarding the big
M on the diag from possible assault by Michigan State fans. Last
night they were guarding Burton Tower from possible descent by
Michigan alumni. I won't say the alumni are disturbed, but when I
asked one what he thought of the game he ran away screaming.
Duffy Has His Say ...
THE ONLY MICHIGAN STUDENTS who were happy yesterday were
the ones who sold their tickets for 10 dollars and watched the
game on television. I understand after the first half ABC-TV wanted
to call it a TKO and show Shirley Temple's storybook instead.
I went to the Spartan dressing room after the game--partly be-
cause Duffy Daugherty is funnier than Bump Elliott and partly be-
cause I hate to see grown men cry. Duffy was sitting on an equipment
box munching an apple-a green one at that.
"Yes, I think this is the best Michigan team since 1958," he was
saying. "And the Michigan-Michigan State gameis the greatest foot-
ball rivalry in the country." That's what I like about Duffy, his
sense of humor. I always thought a rivalry was a game in which
either team had a chance of winning.
"Can we call you number one in the country this week,"
someone shouted to the MSU coach. "You can call us anything
you like," Duffy shot back. This, in fact, Was what, a lot of
Michigan students were doing after the game.
Duffy said the biggest difference between this year's Michigan
State team and last year's is the defense. "We moved the ball against
every team we played last year," Duffy remarked. "But we couldn't
stop the other team's offense. This year we've been able to.
"I'd say we were in a perfect frame of mind for the game,"
Daugherty continued. "We had supreme confidence but not in an
arrogant way. We felt we were going to have to score three or four
touchdowns to beat Michigan. We thought they'd score on us. But
our defense held up in critical situations and that was the difference."
Praise forSpartanQ B ...
last two downs," said Elliott. But
the bruising State line was too
much.
The reason Doug Bickle ddn't
even get to kick off was that
captain George Mans lost his third
straight coin toss (approaching
last year's seven) and Michigan
State took advantage of the wind.
This gave Michigan the opportun-
ity to receive in both halves but
it didn't help.
* * *
It looked like Michigan was
over-anxious from the start and
Elliott backed this observation up.
"We were just too tight and ner-
vous," he said, "and they appeared
loose and relaxed."
This tightness might have caused
the mixup that resulted in a
Michigan fumble and MSU re-
covery on the game's second play.
Michigan's futility was summed
up in the last play of the game
when reserve center Bill Muir in-
tercepted a pass at midfield with
a clear field ahead but ran into his
own man and was stopped in his
tracks.
* * *
The Michigan defense was rough
in spots yesterday, despite the
lapses which hurt, and one main
reason was the play of center-
linebacker John Walker. He was
all over the field, especially in the
second half when the announcer's
"stopped by Walker" became mo-
notonous. It didn't matter where
the play went; Walker was there,
sparking the defense.
Other gritty games were turned
in by Frank Malone, John Minko
and Jon Schopf, all of whom came
off the field with minor injuries
only to return to play bang-up
Iball.

DUFFY SAID he thought the key play of the game was when Dewey
Lincoln-broke through the Michigan line and went for a first down
on a third and 26 situation in the second quarter. The Spartans even-
tually scored their third touchdown on the drive to put the game out
of reach.
Daugherty also had praise for quarterback Pete Smith, who was
playing his first game since his father died last week during a 31-3
win over Stanford. "Smith came, into his own as an outstanding quar-°
terback today. Sometimes it takes tragedy or adversity to bring out
the best in you," Duffy continued. Smith ran the Spartan offense
flawlessly and completed four of six passes for 82 yards.
What hurts is that I can't even say our band was better
than theirs. I'm not so sure it was. Duffy wasn't certain either.
,We've got a good band, too," he laughed. It's getting to the
point now that when I hear the rooting section chant "let's
go blue" I think they're talking about the band.
I mean this school is really going music crazy. Pretty soon the
football team will be practicing on Wines Field and the band -will be
working behind locked gates on Ferry Field. About 1984 the band
will be playing 60 minutes and the football team will be scrimmag-
ing State at halftime. It probably wouldn't hurt the crowd either.
The people in this area. are so used to the Michigan-Michigan
State battle that the game could be canceled and 100,000 would
show up anyway.
Next year I'm going to make a killing. I'm going to sell black
arm bands at East Lansing. Too bad I didn't think of it sooner-like
yesterday morning.
