"Do you know Michigan State wat the only team in the Big Ten to finish the season with a two-game winning streak? That's how tough the league 1. "Northwestern teat Illinois today, so every other team except Indiana has a one-game winning streak." (Duffy apparently overlooked Purdue, which won its second straight, plus Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois, all of which lost Saturday.) Daugherty then swung BY JOE DO WD ALL FrM Prtst Staff Writer LANSING Duffy Daugherty couldn't find enough nice things to say about his Michigan State team and even upstart U-D, which ran out of luck and manpower after battling the Spartans on even-up terms nearly the entire first half. "We had a great year with a really fine team," the witty Irishman began.

"We didn't have the manpower that some of Michigan State's great teams had, but those teams never played a schedule like this year's. "EVERY GAME was tough. There were nine great teams 1 1 KS into Michigan State's 43-15 victory over U-D without pausing to catch his breath. "We knew Detroit had a good passing game and we were ready for them, but Jerry Gross was dangerous on his keeper plays and he ran well against us. "He Is a fine quarterback and he's as Important to TJ-D's offense as Tom Matte" is to Ohio State.

Gross is as fine a quarterback as we have seen all year. Daugherty said that Gross' one-man attack in the second quarter which pulled the Titans even at 15-15 didn't upset the Spartans. "We've been behind most of the season. That's what makes this team so fine. "The team pulled itself together after the last-minute loss to Iowa and they have too much spirit and morale to panic." DACGHKRTY gave a clue to Michigan State's quarterback plans for next year.

I mean the Michigan-Ohio State game 10 years ago at Columbus. The one when they said it snowed quite a bit.

Weren't you down there IT SNOWED ALL RIGHT all night and then all morning and afternoon of the game between heavily favored Ohio and Michigan. Kids awoke around Columbus, took a startled look out the window and hurried to the garage to resurrect their sleds. Fans of football rolled out of bed, took the same startled look and shivered. The storm, termed "Ohio's worst," hit the city in the earlv nre-dawn hours. Bv noon, snow was 15 inches deep and falling even before an icy gale whistled out of the northwest and started drift-I ing the white blanket until it covered cars, blocked highways, stalled trains, Ohio's huge stadium looked like bowl stuffed with loose cotton.

"It was near zero. Workmen labored mightily to scrape tons of the white stuff off the gridiron. But as they toiled, more of it fell, and blew and drifted. "They can't play it," offered pressbox inhabitants from high atop Tthe stands. But after a long confer- COLUMBUS There wasn't much for even outspoken Woody Hayes to say.

In the dressing room the Ohio State football coach thought of his 7-0 win over Michigan and observed, "It is wonderful to win on only nine first downs." "This means." said Hayes, "that our defense was holding up. "Statistics are not impressive." HAYES THOUGHT the edge was all Michigan's going- into the game, discounting odds that favored his Buckeyes by 10 points. fa I 9 i is pass from quarterback Jerry On the next play (photo at the Titans' first touchdown. Buckeyes' Power Tops Michigan Continued from First Sports along Cassady scored here one autumn. Ben Jones kicked the conversion for the 7-0 score.

Thirteen minutes remained, but the two clubs were set with their final records Ohio's 7 2 and Michigan's 5-4. The Buckeyes were back once more after guard Mike Ingram stole a Michigan pass on the Buck 35, recognized his limitations as a runner and lateraled to halfback Jim Herbstreit, wno danced to the Wolverine 22. After three plunges by Matte and Ferguson, reserve center Jim Lindner tried a field goal from 23 and missed. Ohio needed only two yard3 on fourth down when Woody Hayes, delivering his sideline exhortations coatless and in a bort-leeve shirt in defiance of. 40-degree temperatures, sent in the messenger with kicking orders.

"If Michigan had scored," said Haves later. "We felt thv would go for the two-point conversion. That is why we tried, for the field goal." THE PASS interception that provided the field goal oppor. tunity was one of three times the Ohio defense took the ball away from the Wolverines following the touchdown. The Buckeyes jarred the ball from end Bob Johnson after a pjss catch on the Ohio State 45.

Later Dave Glinka threw into a final interception, this one by Bill Minkowski on the OSU 35 with 2i minutes 1c" The Wolverines had staobed from their 20 to midfield in the last gasp, getting 10 of the yards from Dennis Fitzgerald on the bewhiskered Statue of Liberty play and 13 on a pass from Glinka to Johnson. It was a good finale for Fitzgerald, who whacked out 63 yards on IS carries for almost half of Michigan's 132 rushing yards. The day was somewhat long er for Glinka, the sophomore quarterback was rushed and sometimes Indecisive in his passing, though completing 10 of 17 for 82 yards. Glinka was bounced for loss es totaling 44 yards. But he wasn't the only quarterback with problems.

Michigan dropped Matte, who began the game as the conference leader in total offense, for 30 lost yards to lower his total to 41. THE BEST U-M showing came in the second quarter in a 70-yard push from the Wol- verine 19 to the Buckeye 11. Mixed in was a Glinka-to-Ken Tureaud screen pass for 13 yards, Michigan's longest of the game. But on third down at the Ohio 11 Glinka was rushed into an underhand toss to Bennie McRae for a two-yard loss. Here the Wolverines tried- for a field goal and didn't get It as Bill Freehan's kick from the 20 sailed to the right.

That drive and one by Ohio State for 50 yards accounted for most of the second period time. Fumbles marked the first quarter. Tureaud hobbled to the Buckeyes on the Michigan 35, and Ferguson fumbled it back to the Wolverines' John Stamoa on the seven. SP urs Din In LONDON (UPI) Tottenham returned its overpowering form Saturday and trounced Birmingham, 6-0, to widen its lead to seven points in the English Soccer League. senior Tom Wilson in the second quarter and Stewart led State to two touchdowns.

Pete Smith, a sophomore, went to the signal-caller's post in the final quarter. "I wanted to see these boys in action," Daugherty said. "I put Stewart in when we led 15-0 rather than when we had a one-sided lead." Stewart gained 16 yards in five carries to keep two State scoring drives alive. Smith, an All-City quarterback at Ecorse's St. Francis Xavier, hit on the two passes he threw for 37 yards.

He was injured the only time he carried the ball and left the game with a swollen ankle. HERB ADDERLEY, one of State's graduating seniors, led MSU in rushing with 77 yards in 13 carries Ron Hatcher had 41 in nine trips and Gary Ballman 39 in 10 tries. Six others carried for MSU and none had fewer than 10 yards as the Spartans broke through Detroit's line for 285 yards. Wilson completed three of 10 passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns. Don Stewart, the heir-apparent at quarterback, was zero for one and Smith made his 1961 bid with two for two, 37 yards and one touchdown.

ART BRANDSTATTER and Fred Arbanas caught two passes each, Arbanas for 36 yards and two touchdowns and Brandstatter for 45 yards and one touchdown. Brandstatter went into the game with 15 extra-point kicks out of 16 tries The one was blocked. For the first time this year he missed one, kicking wide He also made one and finished as State's scoring leader with 37 points. Gross was the Titans' ton ball carrier with 59 yards and one touchdown his first of the year in 16 trips, but losses dropped U-D's rushing yardage to 38. TITAN co -captain Jim Post, back after missing two games, was the leading receiver with six grabs for 63 yards.

Gross passed 13 times and completed eight for 66 yards and Tony Hanley hit on five of eight for 76. Gross, who started only the last five games, finished the season with 1,229 yards In total offense, best at U-D since 1952. The Spartans held the Titans' running game in check and covered the U-D receivers who went deep. But they couldn't stop Gross on his rollouts until a wild elbow in a pileup in the third quarter put the 5-foot-8, 158-pound dynamo out of the game with a broken nose. GROSS had moved the ball from the Titan four-yard line to the 16, where he was hit out of bounds by three State tacklers.

The three green-clad Spartans rolled in a ball with the lone white uniformed gridder. They got up. Gross didn't. That ended U-D's hopes. The star from Bay City Central had gained 54 of U-D's 71 yards rushing in the first half and threw for the Titans' 66 yards passing.

He carried or threw the ball on 11 of the 18 plays that gave U-D its two touchdowns. MICHIGAN STATE'S impressive showing had perfect timing. More than 150 high school coaches with the top players on their teams were the guests of Michigan State at the game, and all were invited into the Spartan dressing room after the game. There is little doubt that U-D's recruiting program took a licking, too. Spartans Wear Down U-D, 43-15 Continued from First Sports yards in seven plays in the first period to go ahead with Carl Charon carrying for 19 yards and George Saimes for 21.

Saimes, on a pitchout, cut inside end for the touchdown. Art Brandstatter faked the after-TD kick and Wilson threw to Ernie Clark, who made a leaping one-handed grab for an 8-0 lead. U-D moved to the MSU 35 before punting and State slashed through the line 80 yards in 17 plays. Gary Ballman raced around left end from the seven to go in untouched. Brandstatter kicked the point.

The Titans, over their jitters in playing before their biggest crowd in years, marched back after the kick-off with Shorter scoring. THE TITANS held State to four yards and forced the Spartans to punt and Gross again led the attack to tie the game. And again State could gain only four yards and had to punt. But the Titans couldn't move and Hatcher dashed 20 yards with the punt to the Titan 45 before Gross pulled him down. Wilson overthrew Charon but then, seemingly caught for a loss on the next play, Wilson broke out, directed his blockers like a traffic policeman and sped to the Titan nine.

On the nest play he found Arbanas in the end zone for the touchdown and hit Ad-derly for the conversion pass to make it 23-15. After Gross was hurt, senior Tony Hanley directed U-D to the Spartan six. Passing down the middle mainly, the Titans had a first down. But MSU stiffened and threw U-D back to the 29, with Saimes intercepting the fourth-down pass on the goal. That was the only threat U-D mounted on the second half.

STATE ROLLED 64 yards after the second-half kick-off, Wilson throwing to Brandstatter the last 23 yards. Ballman made a sen-satioinal one-hand grab of Wilson's extra point pass for a 31-15 lead. After MSU drove from its three to the U-D 20, Wilson was hit and fumbled. But three plays later, Ryan intercepted the first pass Jim Post threw this year and returned it to the U-D 27. Smith hit Arbanas for the TD on the first play to make it S7-15.

Jim Corgiat intercepted another Hanley pass on the U-D 45 and returned it nine yards. Sophomore Mitch Newman, fourth-string fullback from Detroit's Denby High, picked up 26 yards in three carries and blasted through from the one to end the MSU scoring.

It was fun at the Hstart. But only the foolhardy stayed all the way.

At the 'end there were maybe 20,000 in the stadium where all 80,000 seats had been sold since September. IF THERE WAS a pattern of play in such an unplayable situation it was this: "Make the other guy handle the ball and pray for a fumble." Chuck Ortmann punted 24 times for Michigan. Vic -Janowicz, the Buckeye All-America, punted 21 times total 45. One of Ortmann's boots was blocked early and rohio had the ball on the Michigan eight-yard line or Ijwhere such a line would have been if a foot of snow bad not been over it. Three plays later, Ohio was back on the 21.

Then 'Janowicz booted a startling field goal from the 27 that careened through the posts as a line drive into the teeth of the gale. Minutes later, still in the first period, a Janowicz punt "was blocked by Capt. Al Wahl, of Michigan. The ball skittered out of the end zone for a safety and Michigan 3-2. It was punt and pray, and more of the same.

Michigan couldn't make a first down, didn't complete a single pass. ZJt made but 27 yards all afternoon. Ohio gained 16 on he snow, hit on three of 18 passes. HI Time was slipping away at the end of the half. Ohio 3ad the ball on its own goal line.

There were 47 seconds eft and the Bucks were facing into the gale. 3 Janowicz went back into the end zone to punt on third -down. Michigan called time out. Vally (The Prophet) Weber ZZ UP IN THE PRESSBOX, where good whisky was Hieing wasted to keep ice off the windows, coach Wally 3Veber of Michigan punched me excitedly. "Watch this, he ordered.

"We're going to pack up Jthe left side of our line and shoot in about three guys to "get at Janowicz to block his punt. They only use one man back there to block for him on the left side. Watch this imw. It should work. Janowicz went back into the end zone, kicked one TChilled foot against the other to knock the ice and snow from his cleats.

The ball was snapped. Two Michigan snowmen rammed irto the punter's protective shield. A third Wolverine, Tony Momsen, threw himself at ITJanowicz. He blocked the punt. The ball bounced away.

iMomsen pursued it, flopped at it once. It skidded away. -He flopped on it again and held it touchdown Michigan. "I told you," exulted Weber. "Remember I told you.

That's the game. And it was. The 9-3 game in the Battle of the Blizzard 3Jiat sent Michigan to its last Rose Bowl exactly 10 tyears ago this weekend. "That loss at Iowa lat week took a lot out of us," he said. "It was' tough to come back.

Psychologically it was all Michigan's." Hayes had fullback Bob Ferguson to balance the psychology. He smashed for 80 yards and the lone touchdown in 16 carries. OHIO STATE halfbacks may carry the ball seldom (once Saturday) but quarterback Bob Matte thinks of them on passes. His two completions went to halfbacks Bill Wentz for 23 yards and Bob Klein for 17. Sophomore Herb Merb got the scoring off to a running start In the opening quarter with the last five yards of a drive.

Later Merb pitched 18 yards to end Jim Massarelli for another tally. Bobcat quarterback Dave Wagner carried the final yard for one touchdown, threw S3 yards to halfback John Balough for another and turned in two conversion passes. The visitors' only score came in the second period after Ohio had taken a two-touchdown MICHIGAN'S Dave Glinka varied his passing targets. He hit end Bob Johnson four times for 38 yards, fullback Ken Tureaud twice for 24, end Scott Maentz twice for 23 ancThalfback Bennie McRa? twice for one yard. And the last sight no fooling at dusk and with the season over, was Hayes on the field working with a passer and receiver in sweat clothes.

Nobody laughed. After 10 seasons he has lost only 23 games. BOB PILLE I lead. Quarterback Ron Winter used a quarterback sneak for the last two yards of the 59-yard, 12-play march. SOUTHERN Illinois was halted twice in the last half in desperation drives for touchdowns.

Ohio including 15 seniors appearing in their last collegiate game, intercepted a pass in the end zone to halt a drive on its three-yard line midway in the third quarter. Midway in the next period Southern Illinois was stopped on the five when two passes fell incomplete.
