(Bioryioiuu legisieicu nve touca- come-f om-hehind 12-7virtnrv on Page 6.) downs, all in the first half, and 1 J10-pound Cannon, play- North Carolina State ANN ARBOR NO ACTOR HAD a bigger audience and Wayne Woodrow Hayes, for nine years Ohio State's football coach, made the most of it. Flamboyant Woody, built like comedian Jackie Glea-son, put on a one-man show as his Buckeyes went down to defeat, 23-14, before a charged-up band of Michigan Wolverines who had their greatest afternoon in the fledgling regime of Chalmers (Bump) Elliott. Never billed as a cool character, Hayes roamed the eastern sideline like a man possessed. He emulated stripper Gypsy Rose Lee for a while as he defied the icy afternoon by peeling down to a white shirt with short sleeves, ripping off his twisted necktie and doing his own version of a bump 'n' grind routine. This defeat was the fourth of the seven-game Big Ten season for Woody, his worst since he took his act to Ohio State.

But he proved that he can combat adversity. He started out a little slowly by showing no more disappointment than any other coach when the Wolverines cashed in on an early Buckeye fumble to grap a fast 7-0 lead. He. wore a baggy brown jacket then, replete with a long-billed baseball cap. The cap disappeared somewhere when Ohio missed its conversion try to trail 7-6 in the same first period.

Midway in the second one, he hit his stride. It was prompted when tackle Dick Michael grabbed off a fumble by Michigan's Fred Julian and lumbered 40 yards into the end zone. The officials ruled that he ball had bounced off the sod before Michael got his hands on it. They called the play back and that was Woody's cue. He stripped off his jacket, whirled it around his head a half dozen times and let it fly as he stamped the ground like a kid who saw somebody steal his favorite toy.

c. st4t, 0 0 7 turn green with envy, and then grabbed a wooden folding chair by his bench. He committed mayhem on it by beating it for a while and then drop-kicked it a half-dozen yards. Since rules do not provide any points for such a maneuver, the score remained at 14-6 in Michigan's favor at halftime. He reluctantly left the arena then to let the two great bands duel each other to a standoff before bouncing -out again for the final two quarters.

These were exceedingly dull to watch while as Buckeyes, paced by sophomore fullback Roger Detrick's brilliant workhorse tactics, marched to a 14-14 tie. He had his coat on again now. Somebody had retrieved it for him after his earlier heave. He kept it on as Michigan gamely regained the lead on a 63-yard drive which sent Tony Rio over from close range for a 20-14 advantage. That Poor, Poor Jacket THE WOLVERENES PROMPTLY encouraged him to go into his comedy act shortly afterwards.

Desperately nursing their six-point lead, the Wolverines had reached midfield. It was fourth down with two yards to go and little more than six minutes left in the game. Michigan didn't act like a team that was planning to punt. They lined up in a play-formation, called signals and then shifted into a punt formation. It obviously was designed to do just what it accomplished namely make center Dick Andres of Ohio lunge over the line.

He banged into center Gerry Smith of Michigan. Smith pointed accusingly at Anders. Anders pointed accusingly at Smith. Official Charley Leadbetter of Detroit correctly penalized Ohio five yards to give Michigan a much-needed first down which led to Darrell Harper's insurance field goal from the 19. When Leadbetter made his call, Hayes erupted like a volcano.

Off came bis poor jacket, definitely whipped by now. He flung it to the ground, flailed his arms around like a windmill caught in a tornado, beseechingly looked to the heavens for aid in this crisis and brought back fond memories of John Barrymore in his greatest hour. Woody received high tribute for his act a great chortling cheer from the fans, who saved an even greater one of exultation when Michigan trooped off with its climatic victory. But it still was a great day for Wayne WToodrow Hayes, actor-coach extraordinaire. The stadium was his stage and he made the most of it.

They raced the clock into the Ohio end zone and beat it by two seconds when Stan Noskin, a star all day, barely reached paydirt. Woody obviously didn't think he had reached it.

On the third play Noskin hit Rio in the end zone from eight yards out and Harper kicked the first of his two extra points.

Detrick carried the Buckeyes to their first counter just before the period ended, but Michigan's lead held up, 7-6, when little Dave Kil-gore's extra-point kick was wide. yard quickie pass to big Jim Houston for the Bucks' first score, trimming the Wolverines' first-quarter lead to 7-6. Detrick dived across from the one-yard line for the other. The score became tied, 14-14, when Fields tossed a two-point pass to Jim Herb-streit, but the Wolverines came right back to win. Except for their two touchdown drives, the Buckeyes got inside Michigan's 20-yard line only one other time.

That was an a desperation passing flurry in the final minute of the game. Texas Christian slaughtered Rice, 35-6, and promptly was tapped for the Houston game on Dec. 19. Speculation on the opponent now is centering on Georgia and Georgia Tech, which play each other in the regular season finale next week. LIBERTY BOWL Penn State has the invitation for the asking.

The second team still hasn't been named, but both South Carolina and Alabama are eager to play in a bowl. GATOR BOWL Arkansas is in. Opponent not named but probably Clemson, which won the, Atlantic Coast Conference title with a 33-31 squeaker over Wake Forest. NOSKIN WENT to the air again as the Wolverines came right back with a 69-yard march of their own to take a halftime lead of 14-6 on Noskin's touchdown. Stan hit Rio with a 25-yard pitch to start the surge and Harper contributed a key run of 13 yards on a short THE GAME was barely a minute old when the Wolverines grabbed their first lead after Halstead's great tackle.

Fields' fumble and Continued from Firt Sports quarterback who is scheduled to replace Noskin in 1960, got the Wolverines in position for Harper's field goal with a 20-yard pass. THE KEY PLAY of the game, however, was credited to Michigan end John Halstead, who jarred Ohio State's Jerry Fields loose from the ball on the opening kickoff. Halstead was hurt and spent the rest of the afternoon in the hospital, but the Wolverines went right in for a touchdown which started them down the road to victory. A 198-pound ball of fire by the name of Roger Detrick did his best to save the day for the frustrated buckeyes. Filling in at fullback for injured Bob White, the sophomore from Dayton carried the ball 33 times and rolled up 139 yards.

That left only 89 more for the rest of the Buckeye ball carriers, who barely topped Michigan's efforts. The final figures were 228-198 on the ground and 130-108 In the air. Detrick was almost solely responsible for both of Ohio's touchdowns. He carried the ball 11 times on 15 plays in the 57-yard march for the first counter and acounted for all but 15 yards of a 72-yard drive in the other. Noskin rolled to the four on a keeper and then scratched his way across on third down.

Ohio State marched from the second-half kickoff for its other touchdown, moving 72 yards on Detrick's running and a helpful penalty against the Wolverines That deadlocked the scoring, 14-14, halfway through the third period, but the Wolverines found new life in Noskin's passing and Julian's running. STARTING from their 36 after the kickoff, the Wolverines got within scoring distance on key passes from Noskin to Scotty Maentz. Julian exploded for 11 yards to the one-yard line and Rio lunged across for the clinching touchdown and a 20-14 score going into the final period. Noskin suffered his only pass interception when the Wolverines were within scoring range in the fourth quarter, but sophomore Todd Grant got the ball right back by grabbing an aerial by Fields. That happened on the Ohio 41, and when the Wolverines bogged down at the 11 after Stamos long pass, Harper booted his field goal to end the scoring.

Nearly six minutes remained, but two passing flurries by the Buckeyes came to nothing. l-t New Mexico Shoots Down Air Force DENVER (UPI) New Mexico's devastating ground attack, spearheaded by high-striding Don Perkins, ripped off three touchdowns in a last-half rally Saturday to upset the Air Force, 28-27. How Top Ten Fared Here's how the top 10 teams in the Associated Press college football poll did Saturday: 1 Syracuse (9-0) beat Boston University, 46-0. 2 Mississippi (8-1) had an open date. 3 Louisiana State (9-1) beat Tulane, 14-6.

Maybe you can't see him, but Ohio State knows Stan Noskin is there, hidden by players, in the Buckeye end zone.

He's scoring Michigan's second touchdown just seconds before the end of the first half. This was probably the key play in Michigan's upset victory. FIELDS PITCHED a two- mm.
