ND Rally Catches Spartans Jr i tf Vvf 'iifci So who's No. A The sentiment of the writers who covered Saturday's 10-10 tie was that Notre Dame and Michigan State should share in the national championship. A poll taken by the Free Press disclosed that 15 writers favored putting the two teams in the No. 1 pot. Seven voted for Michigan State and three for Notre Dame.

What happened to Terry Hanratty and Nick Eddy A Hanratty suffered a shoulder separation in Notre Dame's second series after the kickoff when tackled by Bubba Smith and Charles Thornhill. Eddy didn't play because of a injury to his ailing shoulder. He slipped and fell when coming off the train to MSU. Why didn't the Irish use the )ass-catching talents of end Jim Seymour? A Seymour, prized sophomore end from Royal Oak Shrine High, didn't catch a single pass. MSU safetyman Jess Phillips said the Spartans kept him covered closely on the long patterns, forcing O'Brien to throw short passes.

Four passes were thrown to Seymour, he missed two and two went over his head. Why did Notre Dame run the ball instead of passing on the last six plays? A PAKSEGHIAN: "I wasn't going to blow the game with an interception. We wanted to maintain possession. And we respected Dick Kenney's field goal kicking ability." BY HAL McCOY Free Press Sports Writer EAST LANSING The Football Game of the Decade the one that was to settle all debate, all prejudices, all arguments, merely created more Saturday. Which is the greater team after all? Michigan State, or Notre Dame? They could not settle it for themselves.

In a classic struggle which held a throng of 80,011 spellbound in Spartan Stadium, Michigan State and Notre Dame battled to a stunning and somewhat disappointing 10-10 tie. Left unsolved was the great debate over which was really the foremost team in the land. There was much to recommend them both. But because of the tie, there was the threat that neither would gain acclaim as the nation's No. l'team.

Michigan State struck out to a 10-0 lead in the first half on a four-yard smack by Reggie Cavender and a 47-yard field goal by Dick Kenney. Notre Dame shortly chopped it to 10-7 on a 34-yard pass from Coley O'Brien to Bob Gladieux, and tied the score on the first play of the final period on a 28-yard field goal by Joe Azzaro.

Fumbles lost Yards penalized Michigan State Notre Dame 10 7 The Irish left the record crowd booing at the end, however, when they finished off the final minute and 15 seconds by running six ground plays, disdaining the pass and a chance to win.

Michigan State, striving desperately to win, gambled repeatedly against catastrophe by calling time outs to stop the clock while Notre Dame had the ball. The weirdness started fensive star George Webster. It was sentiment repeated throughout the Spartan dressing room. "We' were going for broke," Daugherty said, "not that ties aren't better than losing they are." But Daugherty wouldn't let himself get pinned into saying he was surprised that Notre Dame didn't pass at the end. "We just kept calling time outs, hoping we could get the ball back for a field goal try," he said.

HOW" ABOUT No. 1 now? "I'm going to vote for us," said Daugherty, who has one of 35 votes eagt. by coaches in the UPI poll. "I thought we were on top most of the game although they came back like champs." Who does he think will be No. "It's hard to say.

Probably a lot of votes will be split between us and Notre Dame and Alabama will slip in," he said, laughing somewhat wryly. Alabama grabbed the top in the AP poll last January team but I won't say that a team that eats up the clock is a great team," Jones said.

"As far as I'm concerned," said co-captain Qint Jones, "we're No. 1. We played like champions. "When we were in our territory and had fourth down, we gambled.

Star halfback Nick Eddy stumbled getting off the train and re-injured his aching shoulder. He didn't play.

Sophomore quarterback Terry Hanratty participated in two series for the Irish. On a running play, he injured his shoulder and didn't play the rest of the game. The other half of the Notre Dame sophomore act, Jim Seymour, might as well have not played. He didn't catch a pass. It was the same for Michigan State.

Sophomore end Al Brenner didn't snare a pass until two minutes remained in the game. Ail-American halfback Clinton Jones was practically non-existent in the MSU offense with 21 yards in 10 carries. Star fullback Apisa, although ready to rumble, carried two times for two yards. Cavender, his replacement, led MSU's ground assault with 36 yards in seven carries and the Spartan touchdown. THE ONLY OFFENSIVE star in the game for either side who lived up to the monstrous pre-game buildup was MSU's end Gene Washington.

He caught five passes for 123 yards and got the touchdown drive moving with a 42-yard catch.
