way in the third quarter, Morrall
attempted to punt when hiis team
couldn't get going deep in his own
territory.
He got off a good kick but an
offside penalty nullified the play
and he had to kick over. Wolver-
ine right tackle John Morrow
blocked his second attempt and
Michigan had the ball on the
Spartan 21. From there, short
ground gains moved the ball over
the goal-line and Kramer con-
verted to make the score 14-7.
The rest of the game moved
swiftly with neither team creating
any scoring threats.
Sellout Crowd
Most of the 97,239 fans, a sell-
out crowd, who saw the game were
disappointed in not being able to
see some spectacular pass-catch-
ing by Kramer. But it seemed as
if there weren't many opportuni-
ties to get the ball to him. MVost
of the afternoon, Michigan was in
its own territory and all it could
do was to get out on the ground,
without giving Michigan State a
chance to get at the ball.
As Coach Bennie Oosterbaan
commented after the game, "We

didn't have the ball enough and'
when we did, we weren't in a
position to pass."
It was a good show of strength
for the Spartans who surprised
many fans with their straight
power plays through the Wolver-
ine line. They punctured the
guards and tackles at will and
relied on the speed of Peaks and
sophomore halfback Walt Kow-
alczyk to carry the pigskin through
the holes. Kowalczyk proved he
could run with the best of them,
picking up 27 yards on the ground.
Pass Defense Alert
The Michigan pass defense was
alert as usual, picking off three
of the seven forward passes thrown
by the Green and White and re-
turning them for a total of 52
yards.
Injuries plagued the Wolver-
ines yesterday as Baldacci left the
game with an ankle injury, quar-
terback Jim Van Pelt retired with
a sore back, tackle Bill Kolesar
was helped off the field with a
knee injury, and Captain G, Ed-
gar Meads left late in the game
with a head injury. The serious-
ness of these injuries won't be
known until early next week.
