"I'm sick and tired of yelling at them, too, and I'm sick of making excuses. A lot of things can happen to make a team win or lose, and not all of them can be controlled. Daugherty said he had hoped to go out on a winning note, but decided to announce his I 0 ooSt held to a 6-6 tie at Iowa last Saturday.

"I could have weathered the storm right now," he said Friday night. "But Michigan State deserves better than we have given it this year." THE SPARTANS have a 2-4-1 record going into today's game against Purdue. They are 2-1-1 in the Big Ten race. His career record at State is 106 victories, 68 defeats and five ties. Counting this year, he is 68-49-3 against Big Ten foes.

Daugherty came to Michigan State in 1947 when Biggie Munn replaced Charlie Bach-man as head coach. Daugherty was Munn's line coach. WHEN MUNN retired from coaching and took over the athletic directorship after winning the Rose Bowl game in State's first year as a member of the Big Ten conference, Daugherty was elevated to head coach. Daugherty's greatest seasons were 1965 and 1966, when he won two straight, undefeated Big Ten championships. There were only two blemishes those years the 14-12 loss to UCLA in the Rose Bowl after the '66 season and the 10-10 tie with Notre Dame in the 1967 "I will do anything and everything I can to help turn around the football program here.

"I won't be in the athletic department, but I will help the new coach," he said. Daugherty has tenure as a professor and earns $29,400. DAUGHERTY, WHO has been the Michigan State coach longer than any predecessors, has been under increasingly heavy alumni criticism the past several seasons, but he said he had not been under any administration pressure to resign. Daugherty said he contacted athletic director Burt Smith and university vice president Jack Breslin early this week and said that he planned to resign and ask for a reassignment this weekend. He said he announced his decision to his staff at meeting Thursday and told the squad just before Thursday's practice session.

"THE GAME of football is designed to be fun," he said. "Over the years as head coach, I've tried to make it fun. "It hasn't been fun this year. Not for the players and not for me. By BOB HOERNER State Journal Sports Editor Hugh Duffy Daugherty, in bis 19th season as Michigan State University's head football coach announced his resignation Friday night in a hastily called press conference.

Daugherty had planned to make the announcement after today's game against Purdue, but told reporters his plans Friday night after news of the announcement leaked out. THE 57-YEAR-OLD Daugherty said he would continue until the end of the season. At that time he will be reassigned by the university, probably working with Les Scott, vice president in charge of development, as a fund raiser for MSU. "There's only one man in the world who can assure football success in the near future at juicnigan aiaic, ana uiai me," Duffy Daugherty said Friday night after announcing his resignation as head football coach. TM THE only one who can unite the loyal Michigan State people who do so much work for the football program with the new coach, whoever he is," Daugherty explained.

Daugherty when the coach stepped down, said that he will start his search for a successor immediately. When Smith was named athletic director to succeed the ailing Biggie Munn last spring, President Wharton announced that Smith would have complete control over all intercollegiate athletic o-grams. Daugherty said he might be receptive to an offer to coach a professional team. "I've turned down several pro jobs in the past," he explained. "They probably think I'm over the hill now.

I've coached several post-season all-star college teams, and that's really what a pro coaching job is putting a collection of all-stars into a winning unit. He said he would be interested in only one college coaching position. "I think every coach would to coach at his alma mater. I understand Ben Schwartzwalder is thinking about retiring at my old school Syracuse. But they probably aren't interested in me," he added.

As recently as two weeks ago, Daugherty said he planned to return next season. But, he apparently changed his mind after his Spartans, who were heavily favored, were A Sparkling Wit In the last five years, not counting the 1972 season, Michigan State has had only one winning season. That was last year when it finished with a 6-5 record. And Duffy Daugherty became more than a coach at MSU. The Scotch-Irishman with the pixie humor was a comedian and top joke teller, and became a legend in national sports circles.

His sparkling wit was always in demand on the banquet circuit. Ironically, one of his favorite one liners was the reply to the question: whom he would like back next football season? "Me," Daugherty would grin. iIlliiiiail i Duffy Daugherty U.S., Soviet Spacemen to Tr ain Together Next Sum resignation now to help the program at MSU. "If I had delayed this announcement until the end of the season," he said, "it would have set back the program just thag much farther.

Space officials said also that a problem caused by a difference in atmospheric pressures in the two spacecraft had been solved.

Pg. A-3 The two strikes in Georgia were called by UAW locals in the union's hit-and-run strike tactic against the General Motors Assembly Division (GMAD). LOCAL 10 took its 3,900 members off the production line at the GMAD plant at Doraville, where workers had gone on strike for three days in October but returned to work while negotiations continued.

Another 4,500 workers, members of Local 34, went on strike at the GMAD plant at Lakewood, Ga. Meantime, the UAW announced that the 8,500 members of Local 25 at St. Louis ratified a new contract Thursday night with the local GMAD management, which had merged two Fisher Body and Chevrolet assembly plants. THE UAW said the agreement includes a wage increase and changes in work standards. Details were not disclosed.

The UAW also has authorized strikes for Nov. 10 at a GM assembly plant at Wilmington, with 4,200 workers, and at the central foundry in Danville, with 2,000 employes. Workers at the GMAD complex at LordstownOhio, have scheduled a strike vote today. By United Press International United Auto Workers members at a Saginaw steering gear plant owned by General Motors Corp. walked off their jobs Friday evening, a move which could cripple a major portion of the auto industry.

UAW local 699, representing 7,000 workers, had called a temporary halt to the proposed walkout Thursday evening, but failure to come to agreements over work speedups and health and safety factors brought the strike. THE STRIKE could paralyze not only GM production, but could hobble production for other major builders of vehicles. The plant makes and sells parts for Ford Motor Chrysler American Motors Corp. and International Harvester, as well as other makers of heavy-duty equipment. Meanwhile, the UAW strike aimed at forcing GM into quick agreements on union charges of stepped up production entered their fourth weekend as two GM plants near Atlanta, were also struck Friday.
