Despite the slow start, hopes for a Big Ten championship rose with the Wolverines' victory, as Ohio State upset a favored Wisconsin of Ohio State's sweetest victories in years before 80,345 fans. There could be no opologies for Wisconsin as Ohio State went 90-yard for each of its three touchdowns to knock the Badgers from the Big-Ten leadership.

It's their second and their third and their fourth teams that get you." Texas A Coach Ray George was talking about the camera conscious Spartans from Michigan State who moments before had drubbed his Aggies, 48 to 6, before 49,123 Macklin field fans and thousands of televiewers across the nation.

Michigan State now owns the nation's longest current winning streak among major colleges 18 games. Princeton's string of 24 ended today in a defeat by Pennsylvania. Perhaps not since the great Notre Dame teams of 1929 and 1930 coached then by Knute Roekne had football fans seen such an array of sparkling ball The Texans ground game was almost stifled.

Michigan State, second-ranked in the Associated Press poll, poured three left halfbacks, three right halfbacks, four fullbacks and two quarterbacks into the battle. And the farther Coach Biggie Mt'nn went in cleaning off his bench, the hotter the Spartans got.

In fact, the last two touchdowns came in the final 72 seconds on passes from second string Quarterback Willie Thrower to third string Halfbacks Bernie Raterink and Bert Zagers. "We didn't try to run up a score." said Biggie, immensely pleased by a performance that should help his Spartans challenge for the No. 1 ranking. "But our fresh young kids wanted to play that way." This was State's second appearance before the national TV audience and it was just as touchdown-reeking as the first one. They trounced Notre Dame, 35-0.

in that one. "This team is something like those great Notre Dame teams," said Assistant Coach Steve Sebo of State. "Those teams (Notre Dame) uspd to run up something like a 21-7 lead with the regulars. Then the subs came in and rolled up scores of 40 or 50 points." The biggest thrills came on an 8-yard pass play from Quarterback Tom Yewcic to Ellis Duckett with 33 seconds left in the first half and on State's touchdown flurry in the final quarter. Zager's was the "if you don't succeed, try, try again" lad.

Twice he ran for apparent touchdowns in the final period but both times they were called back. Finally, he caueht a pass from Thrower with 72 seconds Jeft and slipped into the end zone. Zagers had scooped up a fumble and raced 50 yards. The officials ruled, however, the ball was dead. Then minutes later Thrower flipped a pass that was good for 53 yards and an apparent touchdown.

But a penalty nullified the play. "This is one of the best teams Tve ever seen in college," said Coach George. "It could beat the best I've seen through the years. "Michigan State doesn't really have to pass they have such a good running game. We just couldn't break down the continuity of their attack." "We tried to use a defense that Maryland used against State a couple of years ago (in State's last defeat) but it didn't go.

I don't know what we could have used to stop them." 2 NYLON QUILTED LINED GUN 395 Famous Nationally Advertised Shotguns and Rifles Cleaning Rods, Gun Oil, Grease and Finding REMINGTON SHOTGUN SHELLS BASEMENT Warm Rugged Priced for Savings Sizes 36-46 GASES BASEMENT R- J' 4 JL-St'HI in- If Tla FRESH!
