For Michigan, the game got stuck in its craw. In the fourth, periodV they had the ball on the USC 13, fourth and three. Quarterback Don Moorhead saw his fullback, Garvie Craw, so wide open, USC must have thought he had typhoid fever. The pass moved just faster than metered mail and it was a changeup curve that seemed to fool Craw. USC coughed up the football in about three seconds (which was not a record for them this day, however) and, this time, Michigan had fourth and one on the 9-yard waste of time to blow up the football.

They could have played the game with a stale loaf of bread. It was as atavistic as a fight in a tar pit between two woolly mammoths.

USC finished the season undefeated and unappreciated but they held a team that had averaged almost 35 points a game all season to l10th of that and they held a team touchdownless which had gone scoreless in only nine quarters in 10 games, and which had scored 147 points in four previous Rose Bowl games.

But the script was altered in the 56th renewal of the Rose Bowl classic Thursday before a record crowd of 103,878. For a change, the Trojans weren't scrambling to win but protecting a lead against slow-starting but late-menacing Michigan.

Michigan died on the BY BOB OATES Timet Staff Writer USC's defensive team gave quarterback Jimmy Jones a chance to win the Rose Bowl game Thursday and he won it with one thrown ball. From first to last, the Michigan Wolverines never did look like the winner except to their fans. But it took USC until the last minute of the third quarter to put them away. The undefeated Trojans, defensively awesome, were all bark and no bite offensively for most of a cool, sunny afternoon, taking off on six marches that came to no good USC 3S with six seconds remaining and the Trojans jubilantly ran off the field with a 10-3 victory, a win that capped an undefeated season (10-0-1), the first since 1962.

It was a prestige victory for USC1, which was savoring a record fourth straight invitation to the oldest of bowl games. Michigan, the co-Big Ten champion and upset conqueror of mighty Ohio State, had never lost a Rose Bowl game in four previous appearances dating back to 1902 the inaugural game. The Wolverines were 4V-point favorites to defeat a team that had been 'All We Do Is Win'-McKay (Story on Page Schembechler Hospitalized (Story on Page end at the Michigan 13, 7, 16, 27, 32 and 35-yard lines. then Jones threw the ball to flanker Bob Chandler and, as suddenly as that, it was all over. A hard, shaip 13-yard pais and a hard, clever 20-yard run added up to a 33-yard touchdown as Chandler defeated "three Wolverines on the play of the game.

He broke the first man's tackle and slickered the others on one of the great short runs in the long history of the old bowl. One thing, however, will never be known about this game howr much it influenced by the ab.sence of the maligned as fortunate for barely easing by opponents with last minute heroics. Moreover, it was USC's first victory in four meetings with Michigan. Michigan, outplayed most of the game, began to surge when a 3-3 tie suddenly became a 10-3 deficit on Jimmy Jones' 33-yard third quarter touchdown pass to Bob Chandler, the player of the game. The Wolverines were performing under a psychological and strategic handicap.

Of course, Schembechler finished his Rose Bowl game plan long ago. But if he had been on the field, he might have made a decision somewhere along the line, or an emotional contribution, to change the tide. It will all remain a mystery forever, although there is no mystery about what actually happened. Coach John McKay's defense smothered the Wolverines and his offense made one big play.
