"Duffy told me his team hasn't played its best game vet," Mollenkopf fretted Friday night. "It scares me to hear; a man talk like that."

MICHIGAN STATE won in a 15-0 upset, and later Daugh-erty pronounced the game "ourj best of the season." "We really wanted this' one," said the. Spartan coach, mindful of past indignities at the hand of Purdue. Daugherty was pleased with anout everything mentioned even the pass defense that has cost the Spartans in two Lig Ten loses. "We changed it around a bit," he said. MOLLENKOPF agreed with Daugherty's appraisals and added a few ruefui remarks of his own.

He called the Spartans "a better team than those good ones of several yearj ago because the backs a-re bigger I was surprised at the size of them." MOLLENKOPF felt the Boil ermakers missed fullback Bob; jarus, who was left home with; a throat infection. Jark Laraway, Jarus' alter- i nate, topped the Boilermakers in rushing with 48 yards in eight carries. -But many times we needed yardage" said Mollen- kopf. "And Jarus i the one who would have picked them up for us." And behind Laraway nobody got more than 20 yards. TWO SUB BACKS headed XISU ground gainers Park Baker carried three times fori 38 yards.

-A- The sophomore end from Bessemer, catching his first collegiate pass, edged down the sideline like a man looking over a precipice and also had his first collegiate touchdown. If Purdue cares for more painful irony, those two scoring throws were the only passes Look completed in the first half. The Boilermakers made their bid to get back in the game midway in the third quarter. They dropped passes like fumbles, but Bernie Allen finally passed them to the MSU 12. So there the Boilermakers bobbled again, tackle Pete Kakela recovering for State this time.

Two plays later Brandstatter kicked his fourth down field goal. The rest of the afternoon was spent in occasional bursts of unproductive excitement. Fumbles kept coming until the two clubs totaled 15 in the 36-degree weather.

DEFENSIVE quart a Bob Bercich. whose offensive I mixture of plays is limited mainly to the clock stopping type, to get Look back in the game, followed procedure by running out of bounds and gained 31 yards. It was the day's longest run. Look grabbed one punt on the Purdue 34, angled right to the 20, lost the ball, doubled back and picked it up, swung back down the middle to the four and on the next play fumbled. The last bobble was State's, coming on the Spartan 25 with 95 seconds remaining.

Fichtner passed the Boilermakers to the seven before time ran out. The decision upped Michigan Stale's Big Ten record to 3-2, the season mars to 4-3. Purdue is now 3-2-2 for the year, 2-2-1 In the Big Ten, which puts it out of the race. But Michigan State can recall how Purdue broke its great 28-game winning streak in 1953 and how a loss to the Boilermakers here two years ago meant the. loss of a perfect season, national championship, conference championship and Rose Bowl trip.

CONFERENCE fine, and maybe finer, was the effort put out by Gerry Smith with his three key interceptions. MICHIGAN was outgained. 102 yards to 152, on the ground by the Illinois backs and it was cne yard short of matching the Illini's 80 yards in the air. But the Wolverines had it when it counted the most. They played excellent defensive football, and if they had not been so highly keyed at the outset to make costly mistakes which led to nine fast points for the Illini, they would have won going away.

It was their best game of the eason. It could be all that they need to bring more glory in their final games. SMITH Titans Schedule Football Banquet The University of Detroit's annual football banquet will- be held Thursday, Dec. 3, in the Sheraton-Cadillac Hotel. Mike Kaysserian, Titan fullback in 1946-49, is the general chairman.

f.V- ter Aib-- a The Illini sped 64 yards after the next kickoff to score. It took only eight plays with little Johnny Easterbrook a3 signal-caller. He flicked a screen pass to Marshall Starks, who flashed 40 yards to the Wolverine 11. Counts made fixe before Bill Brown busted into the end zone. That ended all scoring.

But onlyr because "Little Smitty" was in the right place twice more in the closing minutes. He intercepted an Eastor-brook pass deflected his way by Noskin at midfield to stop one drive. Then, with time ticking off the clock, he grabbed off another one on the 44 to enable the winners to make victory talk on the trip home for the first time since they won here, 13-0, in 1949.
