quarterback, eludes Michigan State tacklers en route to 27-yard gain in first quarter of bowl. Spartan defenders are Harold Lucas (51) and Jim Summers (20). UPI Teleohoto BY ROY DAMER Chicago Tribune Press Service Pasadena, Jan. 1 Michigan State today was caught dreaming of a white Christmas or its lofty ranking or both. The result was that U.

C. L. A. knocked off the Spartans, 14 to 12, in the upset of the college football season before 100,087 in the 52d Rose bowl game. The Bruins entered the match as 14-point underdogs and few gave them much chance against the team that had compiled a 10-0 record en route to the Big Ten and national championships.

Beban, Stiles Sparkle But U. C. L. A. had a star on offense, Gary Beban, and one on defense, Bob Stiles, and it mixed that with the tenacity of a pack of bulldogs to score the upset.

The Bruins also had the verve and fortune of a poker player filling an inside straight. They scored both their touchdowns within 3 minutes and 7 seconds of the second period. The second was the result of a Wha-a-a-t? BART STARR back in action 'SHOW BIZ' FOR JIMMY BROWN BY GEORGE STRICKLER Chicago Tribune Press Service Green Bay, Wis.j, Jan. 1 Temperatures plummeted to a frosty 24 degrees here today, setting up a wintry backdrop for the, National, Football league's 33d annual championship playoff tomorrow in Lam-beau field, where the, Cleveland Browns will defend the title against the Green Bay Packers. Altho weather reports hold little hope for improvement, and even indicate occasional snow flurries, a capacity crowd of 50,853 booted and blanketed spectators, at 10 and 12 dollars a head, will take a first hand look at the spectacle which local business men figure will add a million and a half dollars to the city's economy.

Starr to Start Green Bay remains the favorite, but only by two points, despite the fact that Coach Vince Lombardi announced today he will start Bart Starr at quarterback. "Anybody who wants to play, does and he wants to," Lombardi said of the ailing veteran who suffered a back injury on the first play of last week's sudden death playoff victory over Baltimore. Cleveland comes up to the game in excellent shape. It has only 42 yards from a touch-1 down, and the audacity connected with such a maneuver must have shocked the Big Ten champions. At any rate, they didn't recover until the fourth quarter.

Trailed, 14 to 0 The Spartans entered the final period trailing, 14 to 0, and the way U. C. L. A. was stopping them when only short yardage was needed for a first down, most fans in the big stadium were beginning to doubt they would even score.

But they went 80 yards for a touchdown with 6:13 left in MICH. STATE 12 U. C. L. A.

A partially blocked punt by End Bubba Smith gave Michigan State its final chance from its 49. Three times the Spartans made first downs on the fourth play of a series, the third just inches from the goal. With only 31 seconds left, Juday sneaked across.

It was now 14 to 12 and the Spartans needed two points for a tie. Raye ran the option to the right sida, and tho it appeared he had a clear shot into the end zone, he pitched back to Browns banked heavily on the drill for tomorrow's championship battle with Green Bay and the big fullback had to spruce up quickly for an appointment with a television camera. Brown pondered whether to leave on the simple rain jacket he had worn for practice or change into a gaudy white and brown warmup jacket with the words "Cleveland Browns" emblazoned across the back.

1 A light, scrappy Alabama football team, outweighed almost 30 pounds per man, tonight delivered a lethal blow to the giant Corn-huskers of Nebraska, 39 to 28, before 74,214 in the 32d annual Orange bowl game. A 21-year-old, 185-pound quarterback, Steve Sloan, led the way to victory over Nebraska, the nation's No. 1 rushing power, which had piled up 10 consecutive victories in winning the Big Eight conference title. Sloan, an amazing bombardier from Cleveland, completed 20 of 28 passes for 296 yards, Orange bowl records. The Crimson Tide also established a mark of 29 first downs for the Miami New Year's day football festival.

Nebraska tried valiantly to overcome Alabama's lead in the fourth quarter, but there was no denying the southerners' victory.

While colder weather is predicted for this coming week, John Verrey, chief instructor for the school and manager at Four Lakes, decided it would be better to change the school dates rather than have the students attend classes under adverse While there was skiing Wednesday and Thursday at Four Lakes, the warm weather has melted almost all of the snow off the hills. The snow-making equipment is ready to go, but a temperature of 28 degrees or below is necessary to make snow. Start Making Snow The change in dates will give Four Lakes a week in which Spurrier, from Johnson City, broke all Sugar bowl passing records with 27 completions for 352 yards, two of them for touchdowns.

The other score he recorded himself on a quarterback sneak. Only failure to hit for two-point conversions on all his after-touchdown attempts left Missouri on top at the close. Spurrier Is Honored Spurrier was voted player of the day by members of the press, many of whom had voted for the steady but less brilliant Missouri quarterback, Gary Lane, at half time. Lane's almost flawless field direction had given Coach Dan Devine's invaders from Columbia, their 20-point lead entering the last period. It is true that one of the Florida touchdowns was a bit tainted, the result of a fumble when Lane pitched out to his right half, Earl Denny, who dropped the ball when tackled by Steve Heidt.

George Grandy recovered, on the 11-yard line from where Florida went for the score in three plays, Spurrier going over from the 2-yard line.

1 Fond hopes of Arkansas to climax another undefeated football season with a Cotton bowl victory were wrecked this afternoon by Louisiana State in the blistering closing minutes of the second quarter, 14 to 7. In a space of 3 minutes and 57 seconds, the thrice-beaten Tigers from the Bayou country, who had been ignored by their home state Sugar bowl people, desolated the Razorbacks with two touchdowns, the last one with only 18 seconds left before the locker room half time breather. Rainy, Windy Day These sudden strikes came on a gloomy, rainy, windy day after the boys from the Ozark hills had scored the second time the "hoghide" came into their possession in the opening quarter.
