The Wildcats, who couldn't seem to do anything on offense, pulled some magic out of their hats and stopped the Wolverines almost cold with their defensive maneuvers. The Wolverines just couldn't get started. Either they were too deep in their own territory or their plays just didn't have the drive needed needed to start a scoring series. Was It The Weather. . Just what the trouble was is hard to say. After the great victory over a much stronger Army team, the Wolverines almost fell apart. The loss of several key men who were sidelined with injuries might have been the cause. Using inexperienced substitutes can be dis- astrous for a top-notch team such as Michigan. The weather might also be an explanation since the previous games were played under much warmer circumstances. But the best reason seems to be that the Wildcats were just fired up after losing three straight games. The men from Evanston were fired up, allowing Michigan only 168 yards from scrimmage, most of that coming on two or three long runs and in the fourth quarter. The passing plays weren't good. The Wolverines couldn't get their receiver out into the open, and the few times they did, the passer was rushed so hard that the throws v weren't accurate. Michigan's offensive running was both good and bad. Time and time again, the backfield work-horses-Tony Branoff and Terry Barr -pounded at the Wildcats, gaining a few yards and losing a few. Only in the fourth quarter did the Michigan squad seem to pull together and start its offense rolling. Bennie Oosterbaan will corroborate this. "We didn't do well, of course," he replied bluntly to the weekly interrogation. "Northwestern played a fine game. They did everything they could with the per- sonnel they had, and their defense was good. Their defense was the main thing," he reflected. Was Northwestern "up"'for the contest? "Not really," replied Oosterbaan, nudging his ten-gallon hat. "That is, I don't want to take any credit away from them on the grounds that they were 'up."' It Was The Breaks ... Over in the Wildcats' locker room, Northwestern coach Lou Saban was philosophical. "We're building . .. we're coming along . . . im- proving every week," he mused. "Breaks determine a tough ball game such as this. When they (Michigan) recover a fumble, it's deep in our territory. When we recover one, we get a safety." He smiled wryly. The turning point in the ball game? "When we didn't score," the youthful Saban replied. He was referring, of course, to the inci- dent where Michigan stopped the 'Cats on its own six late in the fourth quarter. "Had we scored, I think we would have won . . . in fact, I know we would have." Where Oosterbaan praised Northwestern's defense, Saban had nothing but orchids for that of Michigan. "Defensively, Michigan is a great football team. Of course, offensively, they're good, too, but it's the defense . . WOLVERINE SHORTS: Tom Maentz returned to the lineup and proved to be the kicking star of the game. Maentz's punts averaged about 45-55 yards each, and came as a surprise to most fans, since it was expected that Branoff, Van Pelt, and Maddock would share the kicking burdens while Kramer was out of action. * * . Branoff's running punt from his own three-yard line was a decisive factor in Michigan's victory. Branoff took the pass from center to punt the ball on fourth down and fumbled. He recovered his own miscue and was hemmed in by the Wildcats. Running wide to the right, he ran to the three and booted the ball down the field to the Northwestern 27. "Only a great football player makes plays like that," praised Northwestern's Lou Saban. * . * Michigan's mighty goal-line stand was one of the many in the last three games. The Wolverines seem to arise to the call of "HOLD THAT LINE" from the fans. * . * Jim Maddock was out of action completely in the second half, due to a hip injury. Also plagued by the bug was the Michigan line, as Jerry Goebel, John Peckham and Tom Maentz incurred head injuries. College Football Scores EAST LANSING, Mich ()-Full- back Gerry Planutis waited ex- actly 364 days but exacted satis- fying revenge yesterday by piling across for the winning touchdown, setting up another and kicking all three extra points as Michigan. State wrecked Notre Dame's per- fect record 21-7 before 52,007. roar- ing fans in Macklin Stadium. Planutis broke up a 7-7 tie by crashing across from the one in the third quarter, then set up the clincher by recovering an Irish fumble deep in Notre Dame ter- ritory in the .fourth quarter. It was a pulsating team victory for Michigan State; a seven-point underdog which gave a savage hard-hitting show before> a na- tional television audience to end Notre Dame's 11-game winning streak under coach Terry Bren- nan. Shutout Streak Ended It was the first time that Notre Dame was scored upon this season -a streak of 196 minutes and 48 seconds. But it was more of a personal victory for Planutis, who wore the goat horns by missing two vital extra points in last season's frus- trating 20-19 loss to Notre Dame. The date of that defeat was Oct. 16. Planutis not only scored the game's deciding touchdown at 9:50 of the third quarter Saturday, he was the big runner in moving the ball into scoring territory. He carried four times for 38 yards-but it was the last one whieh he probably will never for- get. He dove directly into the center of the line and just made it by inches. Salt in Wounds Then with Notre Dame hemmed in its own end early in the fourth quarter, Planutis fell upon Don Schaefer's fumble on the 16. Earl Morrall eventually went over from inches out on a quar- terback sneak, wrapping up Mi- chigan State's biggest win of the season. COLUMBUS, Ohio (W)-Duke's Blue Devils spotted Ohio State a 14-point lead yesterday, then roared back with a late surge of power and passing to defeat the national champion Bucks 20-14. A crowd of 82,254 watched the intersectional struggle, first be- tween the two gridiron power- houses. It looked like an easy victory for Ohio State as substitute half- back Jim Roseboro swept end for a 44-yard touchdown in the first quarter, and his All-American running mate, Howard "Hopalong" Cassady, returned a punt 38 yards -10 in the end zone-in the second session. Fred Kriss converted both times for Ohio's 14-0 lead. Right there the undefeated Dukes took charge and the Buck- eyes never reached Confederate territory the rest of the way. Duke scored with only one sec- ond to play in the first half on a five-yard pass from halfback Bob Pascal to 159-pound halfback Bernie Blaney. The Blue Devils tied it at the start of the third session, march- ing 43 yards in 11 plays with Pas- cal plunging one yard for the score. The southerners clinched it with an 82-yard drive which started late in the third session and end- ed in the fourth with quarterback Sonny Jurgensen sneaking a yard on the 17th play for the winning touchdown.

Y. (/P)-A bril- liant pitchout and forward pass with Don Althouse scoring on a 22- yard play, started Syracuse on a surprising 13 to 0 victory over Army yesterday. The agressive underdogs clinch- ed the victory with a steady touch- down march in the final quarter climaxed when Jim Ridlon, who passed to Althouse in the third period for the first touchdown, scored on a sweep from the seven. Cadets Favored Army's big football team, smart- ing under last week's 26-2 defeat by Michigan, was favored to win by three touchdowns. About 12,500 braved heavy rain to see the muddy, soggy game. Syracuse kept the play in Army's back yard all the time, but it looked as if the two might settle for a scoreless tie until, late in the third period, Pat Uebel fum- bled and Charles Strid, Syracuse guard, recovered on the Cadet 26. After three line bucks advanced only to the 22, quarterback Ed Al- bright defied the rain and called for an intricate sweep to the left. He pitched to Ridlon who got off a perfect scoring pass to Althouse. -1 11 - f/ GRADUATES in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, GRID PICK SCORES MICHIGAN 14, Northwestern 2 AUBURN 14, Georgia Tech 12 BAYLOR 13, Washington 7 YALE 34, Cornell 6 DUKE 20, Ohio State 14 FLORIDA 18, LSU 14 ILLINOIS 21, Minnesota 13 NAVY 34, Penn State 14 MSU 21, Notre Dame 7 Purdue 20, Iowa 20 (tie) UCLA 21, Stanford 13 INDIANA 14, Villanova 7 SOUTHERN CAL 33, Wiscon- sin 21 UTAH 27, Denver 7 SMU 20, Rice, 0 OTHER SCORES Oklahoma 44, Kansas 6 Harvard 21, Columbia 7 Syracuse 13, Army 0 Colgate 15, Princeton 6 Navy 34, Penn State 14 Maryland 25, North Carolina 7 Tennessee 20, Alabama 0 Mississippi 27, Tulane 13 Arkansas 27, Texas 20 BROWNIE7 Flash Outfit $1435 X The Quarry T .
