Danny Devine's invaders stood off the losers' last-half challenge as well as the state's elements, which ranged from drizzle and downpour to wind and even a freak September snow storm. The Gopher season debut was spoiled by a touchdown set up on Daryl Krugmun's tremendous 51-yard punt and a neat 24-yard pass off a pitchout from Mike Hunter to his fellow reserve halfback, Carl Crawford.

Ironically, and typically, too, it was Mizzou's anly pass completion of the day. The only TD of the wafer-soaked afternoon was scored by Bill Tobin who sloshed over from the one-yard line with three minutes and two seconds gone in the second period. A crowd which was announced as 58,840 but dwindled as the weather worsened saw Murray Warmath's gridders earn a clear edge the last half during which the winners went without making a first down until the final two minutes. The diehards in the shivering and disappointed gathering also saw Minnesota make the day's most sustained march of 42 yards and then have their victory threats fizzle on the Mizzou 20 and 28 in the final quarter. True, the game did wind up with Missouri in possession of the ball, third down on the Gopher two.

But that was only after Minnesota gambled on a desperate fourth-down pass in its own territory. Then fullback Andy Russell rubbed salt in the wounds by reeling off two big gains to account for Missouri's only first downs of the entire last half.

The Badgers also moved well at times but, whereas State had enough momentum to go all the way through, Wisconsin's moves sputtered out short of the goal, Near the end of the first period Wisconsin had a first 'down on State's eight but was held on three runninc 'plays, and a pass, Ron Miller1 Pat Richter, was over-; thrown.

But the pass was dropped and Jim Bakken's attempt at a field goal failed from the 30. In the fourth period a pass, Miller to Richter, gave the Badgers a first down on State's four, but the scoring punch was lacking and State took the ball on downs on its one-yard line. The Spartans introduced a prancing gang of fine new ball carriers who will be troublesome to Big Ten opponents for three years.

In the main, it was a clash of staunch defenses as the weather naturally curbed both attacks. And Missouri won because it capitalized better on Gopher mistakes on a day when miscues were bound to determine the outcome. THUS THE Tigers had two third-down attempted punts blocked but recovered the ball to get the fourth-down (XEXT: California at Missouri; Oregon at Minnesota.) try away.

They also fumbled once deep in their own territory, but pounced on the loose ball. On the other hand, Minne sota lost the ball just once on a fumble.

The result was a 20-0 victory for the Spartans in the first game of the Western conference season. The State team which had lacked speed for the past two seasons had remedied that (XKXT; Michigan Stale at Stanford; iscoimin at Indiana.) deficiency. It served notice rm fho Rirr Tfn that it mnct be accented as a potent fac tor in the championship race The Spartans moved with honest effort to each of their three touchdowns.

After kicking off to Wisconsin and receiving a Wisconsin punt on their 43-yard line, they moved 57 yards in 12 plays to a touchdown scored on a 1-yard plunge by fullback Ron Hatcher. In the second period the Spartans started from their 20-yard line after a Wisconsin field goal attempt had failed and went 80 yards in nine plays. George Saimes went over from the three-yard line. At the rate of a touchdown a period for the first three periods, the Spartans did it again in the third. This time they received a punt on their 34 and scored on the fifth play, a drive over left guard by Saimes and a 34 -yard slant to the left corner.

is notable that the Spartans scored these three, touchdowns on sustained! marches of respectable length without once throwing a pass, excepting that they tried a pass which failed when going for a two-point conversion after their second score. 1'inally, quarterback Tcte I I I Right back to Krugman!

I Exactly 8,668 fans braved a rainy, 40-degree Saturday morning at Metropolitan stadium to see rookie Howie Koplitz of Detroit win his first major league start with a 6-4 victory over the Twins. The game was called because of rain after 5'3 innings.

Koplitz, a native of Oshkosh, who posted a 23-3 record at Birmingham of the Southern Association this season before joining the Tigers, gave up four hits and four runs in the first inning. ONLY ONE of the Twins' runs was earned, however. After that, the chunky right-handed pitcher settled down to run his Detroit record to: 2-0. He won one earlier in a relief assignment. "I didn't know where the ball was going in the first inning," confessed Koplitz.
