DETROIT FREE PRESS Saturday. Nuv. 6, IHb'J Minnesota vs. Iowa Need We Say More HOMETOWN autos bear a third-party political choice. "Murray Warmath for President" the stickers say.

This is the same Warmath whose Minnesota teams won only three games over the two previous seasons. After Michigan beat the Gophers her last fall, he swung in effigy from a fraternity-house porch while a student bugler blew a mournful farewell. "I've been hanged in effigy, too," sighed ex-Wolverine coach Bennie Oosterbaan as he passed the melancholy scene. "But they never did me the honor of blowing: taps over me." BY BOB PLLLE Free Press Staff Writer MINNEAPOLIS This could be the biggest moment here since the first Swede came up the Mississippi. Minnesota plays Iowa at football Saturday, and locally the affair is styled the "game of two decades." The last to approach it was Michigan's visit with Tom Harmon in 1940.

Both teams are unbeaten, Iowa is ranked first in the nation, and the Golden Gophers are second or third, depending on which wire-service poll you prefer. EITHER HAY, it's the first time two teams of such Now Warmath's Gophers have a six game winning streak, the longest for Minnesota since Bernie Bier-man's last Big Ten champions of 1941. AWAITING Iowa, likewise the winner of six in succession, Warmath still has his critics but for different reasons. Friday's 45 degree temperatures with blue skies, scudding clouds and dry footing are supposed to prevail Saturday. The coach says he hopes so.

Detroit held a 99-92 advantage going into the final period but could only pick up one free throw during the first half of the last quarter. During this time Wilt Chamberlain picked up eight of 12 Warrior points to put the Warriors ahead to stay, 104-100. THEN PAUL ARIZIN took over and added eight quick points to put the game away.

Both teams are quick to grab breaks, but Minnesota has made fewer mistakes than the Hawkeye and that could be a factor. Iowa is favored by a point or so in these parts.

The winner will be close to Big Ten and national championships and take home the only football trophy immortalizing a hog, a long-deceased Iowa porker with the exotic name of "Floyd of Rosedale." an opponent held Ferndale's Mike Brown without a scoring pass.

St Free Press Photo by WALLY STEIGER Wally Bellile missett Tete The Illini, paced by pint-sized Johnny Easterbrook, have not been hampered too much by the same generosity.

They have lost the ball only five times by fumbles and had but seven of their 83 passes intercepted in six games. Michigan's total in such things now stands at 10 lost fumbles and eight interceptions in 100 tosses. Among the 65.000 spectators will be Mrs. Norman Elliott, a visitor from Bloom-ington. 111., who is cast in the unique position of rooting for both teams and both of her coaching sons.

If there are superstitious souls around, they might pick up something from this item: Mrs. Elliott has seen her oldest son. Bump, handle Michigan in just two games both last season. He won them both. so a hangup battle with plenty of scoring is anticipated for a crowd of about 40,000.

The difference could be in the passing of quarterback Tom Wilson. He is bidding for a new MSU reeord for aerial yardage before the end of the season. His completion average doesn't come up to that of Purdue's Bernie Allen, but in a man-to-man meeting the Boiler makers' lax defense might give Wilson the edge.

PETE Brother Act DeLuxe Ted Karpowicz, one of the 11 seniors on the roster in the final home game of the year, grabbed both of Gross touchdown tosses for 20 and 50 j'ards. Junior Tom Shanahan scored twice on short plunges and sophomore Tom De Luca got the other. The Titans picked off four Marquette passes, recovered two fumbles and had the game wrapped up with a 26-0 half time lead. The Warrior assistants spotting from the press box didn't even bother to come back in the second half they broke the telephone to the bench after U-D's fifth touchdown. THE MICHIGAN State scouts the Titans play at MSU in two weeks left before the game was over when coach Jim Miller started clearing the bench.

And it was only in the fourth period that Marquette, now 3-5, could score to ruin U-D's bid for three straight home shutouts. Two safeties and a recovered fumble in the end zone made up the Warrior points. This was the easiest of the six Titan victories. FUMBLE recoveries led to the first two Titan touchdowns. Senior Jim Cain, a big tackle from Toronto, bounced on the first one on the Marquette 20 in the first period.

Gross sighted Karpowicz along the right sideline on the first play and, with a crisp block by Steve Stonebreaker, Karpowicz was in the end zone. About the only thing U-D had trouble with was its conversion attempts. One was wide, a snapback on another as over Shanahan's head and two passes failed although Billy Allen did run over once. Larry Vargo grabbed the second Warrior bobble on his own 48. It took five plays with Gross hitting Stonebreaker for 21 yards on the first play and then Shana-han for 22 on the second.

De Luca finally plunged over. THAT WAS the start of a three-touchdown second period. Gross hit Stonebreaker for 15 and De Luca for 16, then ran for 15 himself in the next march which Shanahan finished with his first TD. U-D had to get its fourth touchdown twice. The first time, on a 35 yard plaj, Stonebreaker pushed defensive back John Sisk, son of the old Marquette and Chicago Bear star, on the five, caught the pass and went Into the end zone.

But. it was offensive pass interference and the ball went back to midfield. On third and 25, Gross threw long and high and Karpowicz caught it between two Warrior defenders and went in for the score. GROSS DID all his gaining in the first half 11 completions of 21 tosses for 200 plus 29 on three runs. It leaves him only 110 yards short of 1,000 yards total offense although he's been a starter only the last three games.

There could be no faultfinding in Gross performances which was all the better because a constant drizzle made the ball slick.

BY LYALL SMITH Frtt Prttt Sports Editor ANN ARBOR Officially it's the 46th football game between Michigan and Illinois. Unofficially it's the battle of the coaching brothers: Pete of the Illini and Bump of the Wolverines. Technically it's a tossup. But while sentimentalists claim that the perfect ending would be a standoff in the first brother act in Big Ten history, don't count on it.

Somebody always wins, or loses, in this gridiron series. Michigan has won the most, 28. i ILLINOIS HAS won 17 times, but seven of those decisions have come in the last 10 seasons. There never has been a tie. Michigan Is 3-3 for the year after losing two straight games.

The kickoff is at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. Cloudy weather is predicted. The biggest task for the Wolverines will be to handle the bulky Illinois line, an awesome item averaging 234 pounds. The outside speed of Dave Raimey and Bennie McRae, both tricky and fast, could provide an answer.

So could the passing of Dave Glinka, the sophomore playmaker who has clicked on 37 of 88 flips for 552 yards. BUT IN RECENT defeats Michigan has been bothered by bulky lines so much that it has handed over the ball 11 times in two games by fumble or Interception. THE SPARTANS shut out both Notre Dame (21-0) and Indiana (35-0) in winning the first two engagements of their Hoosierland campaign. But they expect more trouble from the Boilermakers, whose nickname spelled "Spoilermakers" at MSU because of four unexpected Spartan loHses in the last seven meetings. Purdue, an unpredict able eleven with a good offense and a leaky pass defense, has managed to score at least twice in every start of a 2-3-1 season.
