(AP) For hours before the game the streets around the ball park were full of everything that a world series produces.

Fritz Crlsler, Michigan coach, sent most of his reserves into action late in the second quarter, when his starting eleven had rolled out ahead, but plans to test the replacements, an admittedly weak department in Michigan's grid machine, were called off when the traditional opening day rivals refused to stay licked. Tom Harmon and Paul Kramer, the famed Touchdown Twins' of last year's big ten campaign, and Bob Westfall, juggernaut sophomore fullback find, led Michigan's first half attack, which rolled un-chacked up the field for four scores in as many drives.

With the game barely seven minutes old, Westfall plunged 21 yards to State's 44, Harmon reached the three yard line on Kromer'g pass, and Kromer scored on a reverse to give Michigan the lead it didnt surrender. Harmon added the point and led the Michigan forces back to the state two with a 19-yard run to set the stage for 19 points In the next period.
