Down 24-0 at halftime, the Gophers rallied from what promised to be another rout like the one at Illinois to play the Michiganders off their feet in the last 30 minutes. Minnesota not only scored a touchdown in the third period, but made four other advances that missed scores in some cases by no mora than inches. TWO DRIVES by the Maroon and Gold were halted on the enemy's 22. A third came to an end on the half yard stripe and a fourth on the 16. To the credit of the Wol- verines, they took the ball on downs on three of those occasions and another on a Minnesota fumble when the home team appeared moving in a big way.

One quick and devastating thrust in the fourth period enabled Michigan State to come from behind and accomplish a 19-14 victory over Illinois on homecoming here Saturday. These two fast teams fought it out in furious give-and-take before 64,653.

During a first half in which it was slightly outplayed and considerably outlucked, Illinois fell 13 points behind and Michigan State victory seemed assured. THEN, true to their tradition for playing brilliantly in the second half a tradition which inspired the title NEXT: Michigan Slate at Wisconsin; Purdue at Illinois. "Fighting Illini" last week's conqueror of Minnesota slashed through the Spartan line for two touchdowns in the third quarter. And, thanks to the extra point kicking of Don Yeasel, they had a 14-13 lead when the fourth quarter opened. A moment later, however, Elanche Martin of Michigan State made a fair catch on his 38-yard line and State scored the winning touchdown in two plays.

The first was a 24-yard sweep of right end by Martin. The next was a 36-yard touchdown run by Walt Kowalczyk. He took an inside handoff through a big hole at right guard, tugged his way out of the grasp of linebackers and slanted on a straight line to the goal ALTHOUGH Illinois played brilliantly at times, it learned that a team cannot make mistakes against these alert Spartans without paying the price. In the general give-and-take, Illinois had the better of it In the little tide-turning things, however, the Spartans had it their way. Their first half lead was built on little things an Illinois fumble after having second down and two to go on State's four-yard line and another fumble when it was second down and four on the Spartans' 12.

Michigan State's first scoring march started when Illinois' Tom Haller fell back to pass from his own 38. As he cocked his arm for the throw pnd was about to deliver it the Spartans' Dave Kaiser hit arm. knocked the ball free and the Spartans' Les Ruttledge fell on it THE DECISION calling it a fumble instead of an in- Spartans Continued on Page Four FOOTBALL SCORES BIG TEN Iowa 6, Northwestern 0.

Scores Continued on Page Six into the flat and makes a sensational one-handed He also makes a nice run in getting over the goal inside the corner despite his momentum toward the sideline. Michigan's passing made the big difference in the first half. I thought both Van Pelt and Stan Noskin threw extremely well. PLAY is typical of the excellent Michigan passing attack and typical of the way the game went in the first half. It is a pass in which Michigan quarterback Jim Van Pelt throws on the leading his receiver, Jim Pace, by a considerable distance.

Pace, exceptionally fast back, already has the defense beaten as he moves off their feet. BUT MICHIGAN earned this victory beyond any question. With a 24-point lead and the final outcome already r-v-jifssss I v- 1 decided it coasted through the last half except when the Gophers threatened seriously. Only once did the Wolverines give ground for a touch down. That was jn the third period when Jim Reese, second string quarterback, dove over from the two-yard line.

That opportunity came as result of a recovered fumble by this same Reese on the Michigan 19-yard line. Jim steered the Gophers into th8 end zone in six plays. Dick Borstad added the extra point. That ended Minnesota's scoring for the day, but the boys drew many cheers as four other touchdown opportunities were barely missed. The combination of speedy running by Pace and Van Pelt along with the latter's six completed passes told the story of Michigan's three touchdowns and a field goal.
