SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY TA r. MSU Hosts M' 'i Tradil Wolverines Gun for First Win Since 1955 By TOM ROWLAND Associate Sports Editor Special To The Daily EAST LANSING-And starting for Michigan, a head coach and 38 Blue-clad gridders who have never beaten Michigan State. But the ,oddsmakers have it that the Wolverines will snap nine years of winless frustration here this afternoon and bring the Paul Bunyan trophy back to Ann Arbor for the first time since 1955,. It was then that Michigan tripped the Spartans, 14-7, and haven't seen the light of victory since.

TV or not TV Television station WMSB, chan- nel 10, will pick up the game in progress following the World Series, which begins at noon EST. In event the Series game is rain- ed out, plans are to televise the entire game from East Lansing. Kickoff time is 1:30, with local radio stations WPAG, WWJ, WU- OM, and WAAM covering the ac- tion. Michigan coach Bump Elliott will face the unpredictable Spar- tans with a team that ranks sixth in the nation in yards gained while piling up strong wins over Air Force and Navy. Meanwhile, State showed early season pre- dictors that it was going ,to be more than a cellar-dweller by whipping second-ranked Southern California last weekend, 17-7. The Spartans lost in the opener to North Carolina, 21-15. Half a Century, It's the 57th edition of the in- tra-state clash, where Michigan holds the all-time lead with 35 victories, 16 defeats, and five ties. This year--as in every year-it's the coach's quote of "anybody's game-regardless of the records," but for the first time in recent history the Wolverines are favored. Why? Michigan has piled up 45 points against two foes this fall while only relinquishing a single TD - State has only 32 points, compared to 28 against them. Michigan's offense has compiled 795 total yards in two games, which is almost twice MSU's 406. The Wolverines have picked up 40 first downs to State's 18, and have averaged 4.8 yards per carry to the Spartans' 3.2. All four of Michigan's starting bapkfield have gained more yards than Michigan State's leading groundgainer Clinton Jones, who has 95. The Wolverines top State in most defensive catagories, too, in- cluding holding opponent yardage and punting. All Blue? So, if you stop there, it's all Blue. But the hosts herehin East Lansing are looking at their own side of the ledger. The Spartans have the home field-which # is bound tobe a big help. They have the memory of three years ago- and Elliott does, too-when the situation was almost the same. The Wolverines had looked strong in two early wins over UCLA and Army and were ranked high in the national polls. The Spartans put an end to it all with a crushing 28-0 defeat-and that was in Ann Arbor. Halfback Jones is a counterpart for Michigan speedster Carl Ward. A sophomore, Jones scampered 42 yards for a touchdown and gained 83 yards on eight carries in his debut against North Carolina. Ward, also a soph, tallied twice against Navy and has 125 yards in 24 carries. Top Helmsman Michigan has the big gun at quarterback in Bob Timberlake, but the Spartans will sport an aerial attack with veteran Steve Juday at the controls. Timberlake is 14 for 25 through the air lanes; Juday is 14 for 28. I Receivers? State has.a great one in Gene Washington, another new- comer, who has six catches and two touchdowns. Michigan hasn't scored on a pass yet, but Craig Kirby has nabbed six of Timber- lake's passes for 68 yards. Wash- ington's six passes were good for 69 yards. No major lineup changes are an- ticipated, but the fate of end Steve Smith and defensive half John Rowser are still question marks for the Wolverines. Both have been ailing with injuries. Michigan State coach Duffy Daugherty looks at the game to- day with the idea that "We'll have to mount a much better offense than we have to date. The defense and kicking game won't keep win-" ning gamesfor us forever." He's talking about the impotent State offense against North Carolina which only got rolling late in the game, and the outrushed MSU attack facing USC. Underdog Yardage The Spartans have amassed 234 yards this fall on the ground while the opponent column reads 312. Daugherty points to Timberlake as the Michigan man to watch. "He's one of the finest quarter- backs I've seen in a long time for running, blocking, and throwing." Timberlake has Michigan's best yards-per-carry mark with 6.9 a try, but left half Jim Detwiler, the second soph in the Blue offensive backfield, has 149 yards in 22 plays for a 6.8 average. Michigan's offensive line out- weighs the Spartans' 214 to 207 a man. FULL BIG TEN SCHEDULE: Illinois-OSU Clash in Key Tilt By RICHARD SCHWARTZ Sports Editor Michigan State News Special To The Daily EAST LANSING -Hugh Duffy Daugherty, bon vivant, raconteur of great circumstances and, oh yes, Michigan State football coach, strode briskly into the Spartan lockerroom Saturday at about the time Beaumont Tower was cough- ing up four gongs. Like the chiming landmark, the Irish ambassador of good will ser- anaded a cramped press gathering with an assortment of prosaic Duffyisms reserved for occasions such as.a 17-7 upset of number two ranked Southern Cal. "Apples never tasted sweeter," a bubbling Daugherty said, gnaw- ing away at what looked more like an unsanforized pumpkin, and with a sound that resembled some- thing in the order of a steam tak- ing its first bite of virgin soil. "Bananas would even taste good at a moment like this," Duffy vol- unteered unhesitantly, as though he might buck his traditional post- game diet in favor of a more glut- tonous appetizer befitting the celebrated performance of his Spartan warriors. Perched atop a table, legs Prop- ped chin high, back tucked square- ly in the fold of the wall, Duffy seemed a whole world apart from the night before when he engaged reporters at a press dinner with a plea for mercy. Spurting half-apologies for the sorry scene that was never to un- fold the next day, Daugherty could only see where a ravaging tor- nado centered in Spartan Stadium at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, might spare TODAY'S T MIDWEST Kansas at Iowa State South Carolina at Nebraska Missouri at Kansas State Cincininati at Xavier Kent at Miami (Ohio) Sewanee at Kenyon EAST Penn State at Army Princeton at Dartmouth Harvard at Columbia UCLA at Syracuse' Brown at Yale Penn at Cornell West Virginia at Pitt Rutgers at Lehigh' Detroit at Villanova SOUTH North Carolina State at Alabama Chattanooga at Auburn Georgia at Clemson Maryland at Duke MSU from sure-fire demolition. But that was Friday. Some 18 hours and 17 points later, the sun was shining and so was Duffy. Luck of the Irish? "Nothing lucky about it," he maintained. "There may not have been a lot of finesse but there was vim, vigor, relish and en- thusiasm every bit of the way." What hidden thumbscrews were there that might have caused "the greatest Spartan underdog in a dozen years" to penetrate 'the greatest team State's scouted in a dozen years?"', "We simply played a better game than we know how," Sir Duffy explained, like the- master he is when it comes to the art of evasion. And next Saturday? Any chance of a picnic with Michigan? "No, we've always considered Michigan first on our menu," Daugherty said, discarting a well- scared specimen of fruit. "Perhaps now they may want to consider us first on theirs!" Well, there. you have all the pickings of one Saturday, the third of October. The main course, pigskin a la MSU-UM, will be served this afternoon. Is Duffy's infamous golf game part of the reason for MSU's astounding success against the Wolverines? "No. I'm afraid my golf game reached its peak when I was 16 years ol1. And the name Duffy has nothing to do with my per- formance on the course. The boys win because they have spirit and desire. We don't even feed them raw meat." CHICAGO (W) - All Big Ten football teams jump into cham- pionship. action this afternoon, with Ohio State's encounter at Illinois' homecoming the major attraction. In addition to the Michigan game at East Lansing, Iowa is at Indiana, Northwestern plays at Minnesota and Wisconsin is at Purdue. First Full Schedule Each game in the first full league schedule appears to be closely contested. There are no clear-cut favorites. Defending champion Illinois, with a Big Ten 17-6 decision over Northwestern, is ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press poll.

GAME BRIEFS: Bunyan Trophy at Stake; Romney To Cross at Half fense Dick leave choice anchored by linebackers Butkus and Don Hansen the Illini a seven point of the oddsmakers. To the winner of today's Mich- igan-MichiganState game goes the "Paul Bunyan-Governor of Michigan Trophy," put i n t o circulation for the first time by Gov. G. Mennen Williams in 1953 when MSU posted a 14-6 win. The trophy consists of a four- foot wooden statue of the legend- ary figure of the north woods astride an axe, mounted on a five- foot stand. The Wolverines have won the award only two times. * * * Gov. George Romney will attend the game, sitting on the Michigan State side during the first half and switching .to the Michigan half of stadium during the half- time. Neil Staebler, Democratic aspi- rant for governor, won't be there. "Mr. Staebler did not feel a foot- ball game was a place to cam- paign," said an aide. "The people go there to watch a game, not to see a candidate." * * * While today's 76,000 attendance' is the 17th straight sellout of the series, it comes nowhere near the all-time record of 103,234 set in 1959 in Ann Arbor. This not only is Michigan's all-time record gathering but it's the best in the Big Ten. * * * Major league pitching stars Robin Roberts, Dick Radatz and Ron Perranoski will return to play baseball for their alma mater, MSU, for an "Old Timers" game preceding the football tilt. * * * Seven thousand leaflets were distributed on the Michigan State campus yesterday afternoon by Theta Xi social fraternity. The papers, which were drop- ped from an airplane, pictured a block M, the words "Go Blue," and the phrase "Last year a tie, this year you cry, compliments of Theta Xi." In the fantastic quote depart- ment: From the father of Rahn Bent- ley, Michigan State offensive guard: "Just run over everybody and knock 'em down among the sweetpeas." Unerferth vs..Butkus The game will mark the first capacity crowd of 72,000 in four years at Illinois' Memorial Sta- dium. Ohio State, ranked No. 4, has a strong defense and an attack that so far has featured the passing of Don Unverfeth- breaking coach Woody Hayes' tra- ditional meatgrinder mode of of- fense. The Buckeyes opened their conference campaign with a 17-9 triumph over Indiana last week. Psychological Edge On the basis of incentive, Ohio State holds a psichological edge since a Rose Bowl return is denied Illinois even if it retains its Big Ten crown. The Illini appear steel-plated everywhere, although pass defense still may worry Coach Pete El- liott. However, after showing sec- ondary lapses in a 20-I4 con- quest of California, the Illini handcuffed Northwestern's Tommy Myers in the opening Big Ten triumph last week. For that matter, the Buckeyes also appeared vulnerable to passes in thus far measuring Southern Methodist and conference rival Indiana.
