Ambushes in Grid Gate State Michigan State never gained the lead nor pulled even after that. Stanford added its second touchdown in the third quarter to make it 16-7 then Michigan State scored late in the game to make it look closer than the contest really was. The story today was Stanford's eager, hustling defense. A hardbitten, stubborn line limited the Spartan running game and its secondary defenders were equal to the task of containing the so many of the forward passes. A massed red-shirted line, that amounted to an eight man, and even nine-man front at times, clogged the runways.

At the same time Stanford mounted a puzzling attack, with quarterback Steve Thurlow as the engineer that brought results good for victory. The Spartans, desperate in their point deficit as the game wore on, twice tried field goals that failed. Guard George Azar attempted one from the 23 yard line in the third quarter, again in the fourth quarter halfback Ron Watkins shot at the goal posts from 11 By GEORGE S. ALDERTON (Journal Sports Editor) PALO ALTO, Sept. 29 A heap big Injun from Stanford university tepee sank a football tomahawk in Michigan State here today.

A war party of Braves ambushed the Spartans, 16 to 13, in a game that was both their opener and keenly disappointing. Getting off in their accustomed style against Big Five teams, (seven victories in seven shots since State started play in the Western conference in 1953), the Spartans took a 7-0 lead, then saw Stanford match the touchdown and an extra point, and boot a field goal in the second quarter to hold a 10-7 halftime lead.

This time it was Bob Devaney, in his first year at Nebraska after he left the Spartan campus for a berth at Wyoming. By LAD SLINGERLEND (Journal Sports Writer) ANN ARBOR, Sept. 29 Coach Bump Elliott has always been leery of Michigan State football He has dropped decisions to the Spartans in each of his three seasons as bead coach at Michigan. Now the Spartan jinx is carrying over into the ranks of its former assistants.

Back in 1959, Elliott's first Wol verine eleven lost its opener to Devaney's Big Eight Cornhusk ers, displaying an attack that bordered on Michigan State's famous multiple offense, stormed to three second half touchdowns and Missouri under the guidance of crushed Elliott's Wolverines, 25 Danny Devine who left the Michi- to 13, before 70,287 stunned spec-gan State staff to take the post at tators.

(AP Wirephoto) yards out, the ball squibbed off line. DAY OF DEFEAT This was a day for a State defeat, no mistake about it. Stanford, with strong and alert play, plus some good speed at the ends and Thin-low's passing, helped see to that. Fullback George Saimes scored both of Michigan State's touchdowns, the first from the two-yard line, and the second from one-foot out Azar added one of the two extra points. Stanford's rugged, quick line disputed every inch of ground gained.

A weak punt gave Michigan State a first chance and in seven plays the Spartans scored. The second time though, after repeated frustrations, it required something of a miracle to get in position. On fourth down with less than two minutes to go, at the Stanford 27, quarterback-Pete Smith tried to get off a pass. He was knocked flat by the Stanford rush, but as he fell the ball squirted away, halfback Ron Rubick picked it up, started to run left, saw he was hemmed in and with a great piece of headwork in the jam, wafted a southpaw pass a foot short of the goal line where reserve end Jeff Abrecht pulled it in. From this point, on the second charge saimes scored.

The Spartans had troubled times after that successful opening attack. STATISTICS EVEN Statistics reveal the game as fairly even. Stanford had the edge in first downs, 13 to 10. and State the bulge in total yardage, 274 to 258. There was one statistic, it can be loosely referred to as such perhaps, in which the Spartans were short-that was in scoring opportunities.

They had three good ones that did not add a point to their scoreboard totals. There were the two instances in which the field goal misses terminated the progress, then just before halftime from the seven yard line, Stanford intercepted one of Smith passes in the end zone. All it took was just a little help somewhere along the line Saturday and the Spartans could have won the game. As tough as was the a 14-10 score at halftime, which of course did not come about, might have been the ounce or two needed to turn the scales. But, again there was that Stanford's defense.

Stanford's weak punt was the second of the game. Stanford received, kicked, tried again and came the second punt that traveled only 17 yards to the Braves' 29. A 15-yard penalty for a personal foul set the Braves back to their nine yard line. It took four charges to score from there, Saimes bucking over and Azar added the point to make it 7-0. BACKFIELD BOBBLE A Spartan fumble, by halfback Lonnie Sanders, gave Stanford its start goalward late in the second quarter.

The bobble came on a backfield exchange and the Braves piled on the ball at State's 38. On the second play, Thurlow passed to Gary Howard, Colorado Springs, and he caught the ball on the Spartans' one-yard line. Two Spartan defenders were there, but they could not prevent the excellent catch. Relief fullback Tony Deleillis drove in to score, and Stan Linskog added the point to square it at 7-7. Halfback Dewey Lincoln made a fine return of the next kick-off, going 40 yards, to Stanford's 48.

But the Spartans stalled again. Stanford marched from its 14 yard line to State's 14, where Linskog had to settle for a field-goal. The Spartans defense was its best right here. State surged later in the period going from its 23 to Stanford's 10. Smith twice hit end Matt Snorton for good passing gains.

On third down and seven to go, Smith's pass went into the end zone and two Stanford defenders waylaid it. The interception moved the ball out to the 20 and a promising threat died. STARTLING CATCHES Soon after the half ended, Stanford went from its 38-yard line after punt reception and drove to a touchdown. Stanford receivers seemed able to make startling catches on oc-cassion, and one by end Frank Patitucci in this march saved it. Howard came running back and made another when Thru-low was trapped.

The payoff play was. strictly Stanford excellence. Sophomore halfback John Paye took a screen pass left and ran 33 yards to score. He weaved in and about three Spartans enroute to zip into the end zone. This time Lindskog missed the extra point, it was 16-7 and State's chances were dim, but not out.

Snorton gave State the ball by recovering a fumble on the Spartan 38 soon after the fourth period opened, the Spartans with Roger Lopes banging the line and Sherman Lewis and Ron Rubick alternating at the tailback spot, moved to the 11-yard line, came the missed field-goal. The final State touchdown ensued as the clock ran out. Stanford with 1:36 on the scoreboard, ran out the clock. Spartans had had their last chance. Second Unit SECTION Better ball bounced out of his arms as he caught it and halfback Sherman Lewis recovered it for State.

"I thought the ball was ours, and said so at the time and half-time. But it was a judgment call the official's judgment against mine, and I guess you know who is right under those circumstances." Somebody questioned him about State shooting for a field See DUFFY Page 1-3, Col. 2 41-7 unleashing a 27 point barrage in the second half. The record throng, which passed the previous top of 83,795 at the Iowa game here last season, saw the veteran Buckeye offense roll into nign gear in the second half as junior halfback Paul Warfield scored twice. He electrified the crowd with an over the shoulder catch of a 42-yard pass from Mummey for a touchdown and scored again with a four-yard sweep around right end.

The out-manned Tarheels from Chapel Hill were in the contest until the second half, however, trailing 14-7 at the intermission. It was their second loss in two games this season. The first Buckeye drive covered 78 yards with a 24-yard pass from quarterback Joe Sparma to half-See OHIO STATE Pg. 1-2, Col. 5 Statistics OSTT First downs 25 Rushing yardage 314 Passing yardage 110 Passes 7-13 NC 8 fig 98 10-23 Passes intercepted bv 4 3 0-0 6-35 2 1 6 60 7 14 1341 7 0 07 Punts Fumbles lost Yards penalized Ohio State 7 North Carolina 0 Pteorlng: OSU Francis, 1, plunge, (Van Raap-borst kicked) OSU Mummey, 8, run, (Van Raap-horst kirk) Edge.

Mich igan scored before the half but missed a two-point conversion try and the Cornhuskers dominated the remainder of the struggle. Two touchdowns in the third period all but clinched it and when Michigan threatened to get back in the game the final quarter the visitors drove 75 yards to ice the result.

Elliott was worried about his inexperienced defense and the worry proved legitimate. The Cornhusker backs racked up 222 yards rushing and added 119 more passing for a total of 341. Thorn ton scored a pair of touchdowns while picking up 40 yards, Stuewe scored one and made 60 yards and Claridge got the other along with 52 yards on the option play. Claridge was also an adept passer, hitting six of 12 for 89 yards and, time after time, pulled the Cornhuskers through on third down and long yardage situations. Michigan's attack lacked a pow er plunger, with Dave Raimey the chief threat off tackles, along with the fine running of sophomore Bob Timberlake at quarter.

The Michigan backs and ends were running pass patterns well but could not hold the tosses of Glinka and Timberlake, many of which soared wide of their marks. Raimey picked up 69 yards and Timberlake 36. Both brought the crowd to its feet several times with sparkling runs but could not get the support when needed. Michigan started the game with every indication of a victory. The Wolverines drove 30 yards to the Nebraska 43 after forcing an opening punt.

Then, after Joe O'Don-nel, who played a whale of a game, recovered a fumble, went 11 yards and missed a field goal by Bill Dodd, from the 17. Before the period was over the Wolverines again drove 30 yards but lost the ball when Raimey was stopped cold on the Nebraska 32. The teams changed goals after Raimey was stopped and the Cornhuskers liked the change. They went 67 yards in just seven plays and it was 7-0 when Jim Baffico converted. It was Stuewe who made it possible.

He broke off tackle and ran 42 yards before Harvey Chapman nailed him. Tl nnnilfn There was a 15-yard penalty but Claridge passed to Steuwe for 20 and then the fleet and illusive halfback ran left end for the last 11. Michigan raised the hopes of partisan crowd with a drive that covered 81 yards in nine plays, but Dave Glinka tried an unsuccessful pass to Chapman for a two-point conversion and it was 7-6, Nebraska. A 15-yard penalty helped the drive and Glinka passed 20 yards to Chapman to set it up. On the payoff play, on fourth down, Glinka was back to pass, was cornered, and slipped away to cover the last eight yards.

It remained 7-6 into the third quarter. The Cornhuskers then marched 61 yards in 11 with Thornton and Claridge the main cogs. Thornton plunged the last yard. Nebraska got another chance when a pass to Raimey was ruled a lateral and given to the Cornhuskers but the Wolverines held. Then Raimey fumbled and Doug Tucker recovered on the Michigan See MICHIGAN Page 1-2, Col.

His team had been beaten by Stanford, 16-13, and the Spartan coach could see nothing funny at all. Of sober mien, plainly very weary, he spoke softly when he finally emerged from the dressing room after the game.

"It was just this, I'd say," he said, before a question was asked "Stanford wanted to win MSU's Next Foe brilliant Dennis Claridge, Bill Thornton and Dennis Stuewe. The Wolverine's moved the ball well but lacked a scoring punch and could not stop Nebraska when the chips were down. Nebraska last met Michigan 45 years ago, in 1917, and suffered a 20-0 defeat. It was sweet revenge Saturday for the Cornhuskers as 10 members of that 1917 Michigan team were on hand to watch the 1962 Wolverines repeat the But it was not to be. Nebraska stopped three Michigan drives in the first quarter, Young (44).

"Nebraska has a very fine team but we expected them to be good. We were disappointed in our own performance, and again this was not unexpected. "Many of our errors were due to lack of experience.

We had a lot of opportunities early in the game but we couldn't turn them to our advantage. A critical penalty on a punt gave Nebraska momentum early in the third period. And we lost it at the same time." The penalty Elliott spoke of came at the start of the 61-yard drive in the third period that made it 13-6. Nebraska had been forced to punt but Michigan was offside on the play, drew a penalty and Nebraska got the first down, allowing them to keep going. "As far as injuries go," Elliott said, "we came through fairly well, but we have a great deal of work to do before next Saturday." Coach Bob Devaney of Nebraska was jubiliant and said "after our victory over South Dakota, ve didn't know what kind of a team we had.

Now I think we have pretty good football team. We ulaved well in the half .7 UUU UiUilll after a slow first half.

"Coach Jack Curtice threw a really effective defense at us. It was hard to beat. Especially did Stanford rock and stop our inside stuff. They stacked it up."
