The offense of halfback Tom Landau, who scored all three St. Ambrose touchdowns, the kicking of back Barry Boyd and the defense of an experienced Cavalier line combined with the soft footing of the fallen snow on the ground to stifle any Southeastern thrust.

over Southeastern, their fourth such victory in six years. St. Ambrose went into the game with Good-fellow decisions over Cooley, 13-7, in 1959; Pershing, 20-0, in 1961, and Cooky again in 1962 before this year's smashing victory. Southeastern had held seven previous opponents to five touchdowns, but St. Ambrose riddled By MORRIS MOORAWNICK It's quite easy to predict the weather for the Goodfellow Game cold and rain, cold and snow or both.

It's becoming progressingly easy to predict the winner also. Neither St. Ambrose nor the weather disappointed the 15,104 diehards that showed up in a blizzard to witness the Cavaliers' 20-0 triumph Snow, the great equalizer as the sports pundits the Jungaleer forward wall for 285 yards on the vs i Tt put it, merely delayed the outcome, which was never in doubt once the Cavalier machine started rolling. The first quarter followed a similar pattern for both teams run three downs and kick, with Boyd's toe giving Ambrose the better of the punt exchange. Both teams fumbled and lost the ball once, on successive plays with no damage to either team.

Boyd punted to Southeastern from his own 45 at the start of the second period, which teammate Tom Gotelaere downed on the Southeastern two to put the Jungaleers in the hole. Southeastern managed to make one first down but ran into a snag on the second attempt and kicked back to St. Ambrose on the Cavalier 48. LANDAU GOES St. Ambrose took over with a game record of 10 rushes for 26 yards and no first downs going into its fifth series.

Something exploded and hia name was Landau. The 5-9, 162-pound senior smashed off tackle four times 15, 24, 5 and 8 yards, with the final sprint taking the ballcarrier into the end zone for his first TD. Boyd, who normally kicks for St. Ambrose on conversion attempts, ran for the point which gave the Cavaliers a 7-0 margin at halftime. There was no heading the Cavaliers in the second half.

St. Ambrose took a punt on its own 38-yard line and marched 62 yards in seven play3 on its first third-quarter series, with Landau breaking up the middle for the final two yards. RUN FAILS Boyd's conversion run failed and the Cavaliers had increased their edge to 13-0. St. Ambrose stopped Southeastern after the kickoff and got another opportunity following a punt to its 36.

Landau punished the Jungaleer line with seven of his team's 14 plays, finally sneaking over from one yard out to cap a 64-yard drive. Boyd placekicked the extra point this time, his 25th in 27 tries this season, and the final score was history. So thorough was the Cavalier defense that the Jungaleers could not penetrate their own 34-yard line until the final quarter. Southeastern threatened only once, in the final period, as it moved to a first down on the Ambrose 27-yard line. Two runs and a pair of incomplete passes netted the Jungaleers only seven yards and the shutout streak which has reached 14 quarters of Goodfellow play for the Cavaliers was safe.

Landau gave credit to his linesmen for 'opening the holes and St. Ambrose had the superior line, concentrating on off tackle plays to cut down on chances of slipping while trying to cut. "I think the weather both hurt us and helped us," said Cavalier coach George Perles, the former Michigan State lineman. three Cavalier touchdowns and being named the game's most valuable player.

"It was the slippery field and they hit real hard," Landau said in the jubilant St. Ambrose dressing room the visitors' room at Tiger Stadium none of that Tiger and Lion jinx room. LINE HELPED Looking at Landau, a slight trickle of blood on the nose "they hit hard," he explained again, it was hard to Realize that it was By JACK BERRY Tom Landau didn't get in the Goodfellow game two years ago as a sophomore he had a broken leg. And Landau might have wished he had another broken leg Thursday night after fumbling on the Southeastern High School 12 yard line in the first quarter, on the first play after St. Ambrose covered a Jungaleer bobble.

But he didn't and he more than made up for the fumble, scoring all :04. A Landau, 1-run; Boyd (kick) and television audience it was on the 35 and the game statistician had it on the 40.

"We couldn't use half of our plays but it also helped stop their wide stuff. WEATHER FACTOR "We figured that they might get away they didn't but we didn't figure they'd break our tackles and they did.

I'd say it came out 50-50." Losing coach Nick Che-olas figured the weather was the big factor for the obvious reason it killed the Jungaleers' speed game around the ends. "But they've got a real, good, tough football team," Cheolas said. "We never were able to get field position. That boy (halfback Tom Gotelaere) killed us twice downing punts just outside our goal line and we couldn't get out to do anything," Cheolas said. KICK SURPRISE "The thing that surprised us the most was the on-side kick after they scored their first touchdown.

Who would ever figure they'd do something like that on a sloppy field? Our kids were all roused up, ready to take over the ball and that stunned them." The onside kick, recovered by the Cavaliers on the Southeastern 47, didn't result in a score but again it shoved the public school team back in the hole. But there was frustration on both Perles had a nine-inch television monitor at the sidelines. "All I could see was I i 1 ifj 4 CSx lax BAH, HUMBUG! Tiger stadium ground crew fought a losing battle against the season's first real snowfall. They kept the field covered until game time but it came down faster than the lines could be cleared off.

GOING MY WAY? Southeastern quarterback Al Jones hands off to halfback Norman Tyler on reverse, the Jungaleers' best ground gainer of the night. But it didn't work often enough..
