The Spartans will bid for their 20th triumph in a r.w wfcn they entertain another of the nation's elite undefeated teams, Penn State. The lure of two unbeaten teams and the traditional homecoming ceremonies will result In a sellout crowd of 82.000 fans. THIS WILL MARK only the third time in five years the Spartans have played to a full house at home. The dedication game of half of the season had cut deeply into Hamtramck ranks. Coach Joe Rosbeck could find only 20 healthy players to dress and had only two spare backs.

The Cosmos stopped Muskegon's first drjve but the Big Reds scored the second time they got their hands on the ball when Iceland David, a speedy halfback, took a pitchout from Quarterback Harry Voss and sprinted 22 yards for a TD. After that the touchdowns came fast and furious. It was 21-0 at the quarter and 35-0 at halftime. Voss Vent 8S yards on an option play for Muskegon's second score. Don Storck, substitute tackle, 'picked up a Hamtramck fumble and raced 14 yards for another touchdown on the final play of the first period.

It) BY HAL SCHRAM "Thought they were cheering us when we hit. town Friday afternoon," quipped Harry Potter, coach of Muskegon High.

"Come to find out all the cheers were for Ike." But there was no mistake about the cheers Potter heard Friday night at Keyworth Stadium Even the homecoming crowd of 4,000 fans from Hamtramck offered scattered applause for the visitors as they handed the out-manned Cosmos a 5S-0 beating. INJURIES DURING the first Walker suffered what was supposedly a pulled muscle in the Ram game. The injury has not responded to treatment Dr. Purcell reported that there was a slight hemorrhage indicat ed, but nothing serious. Plana are to have Walker completely off his feet over the week-end and to supply therapy.

X-rays will be taken while Walker is in Grace Hospital to determine if there has been any damage to tissue or to the muscles in his leg. Dr. Purcell said that rest for three days with treatment might bring the Doaker around in time to face the Browns. However, he wouldn't definitely say" when the star halfback would return to action according to Lion spokesmen. ALL THIS WEEK Coach Buddy Parker has been hoping that his No.

1 offensive threat would be available for the tough Green Bay Packers Sunday. Winning without Walker in the lineup has been a tough job for Detroit. In fact they have won only twice in five games the Doaker hasn't been able to play. As a result of Walker's disability, Clyde (Smackover) Scott will get to see more action with the offensive unit against the Packers. Scott will be used only In spots, since he has not had time to learn the Lion offense.

Jug Girard will start at left-half for the Lions with Bob Hoernschemeyer and Pat Harder rounding out the backfield with Bobby Layne. Leon Hart, who is a doubtful starter, was fitted with a new brace for his injured leg and seemed to be able to move better. The medical help may permit him to play at least part time. He will not be at his usual efficiency, however. the 0 i' Pleasant In the top game of the small-collpge schedule.

The Big Ten lead within grasp of the winner. All that and homecoming, too will be the gridiron menu for gome 80,000 fans at the 43rd meeting of Michigan and Minnesota here Saturday.

It might turn out to be the most sensational show of the season. KRESS IS the young Wolverine tailback who captured the public's fancy by slashing off 218 yards for a Big Ten record against Northwestern last week. That made him the Conference's best all-around back 'of the current season with 474 yards, rushing and passing, in the Wolverines' two Big Ten victories. The 20-year-old junior from Detroit' Redford High School has been a key figure in every Michigan game this season. It was Ciel who wore the all-around crown as a sophomore last year, covering yards In six contests to iiang up a Conference record.

Then and now, he has been the Gophers' No. 1 running threat, their best passer and principal punter. This yeai, after two disappoint, ing losses, Giel wag given the additional job of calling the Minnesota signals. Despite all that, the 185-pound Winoiia Wonder is only 23 yards behind his running-passihg record vof last year after his first four games. ALTHOUGH EACH team has a 2-2 jn record and both are unbeaten in Big Ten play, Michigan will be favored by at least a touchdown.

Ez Settles for Decision over Brion Charles Thwarted in Bid for Knockout NEW YORK (U.R Ex-Champion Ezzard Charles tried desperately to knock out Cesar Brion but had to be content with a unanimous 10-round decision over the Argentine "iron man" heavyweight Friday night in Madison Square Garden.

Ezzard had his game but awkward opponent staggering about the ring in the first, second, eighth, ninth and 10th rounds. But he couldn't even floor the rugged mauler from South America who never has been knocked out in 47 professional fights. BRION', WHO outweighed Charles, 196 pounds to 1861,4, was bleeding from a deep gash on his left cheek and from an old gash on his chin at the finish. His left cheek was swollen like a balloon from the straight rights that had crashed into it. None of the three ring officials gave Brion more than three rounds.

Referee Ruby Goldstein scored seven rounds for Charles, two for Brion and one event. Judges Joe Agnello and Harold Barnes voted In unison, seven rounds for Charles and three for Cesar. The action-packed battle brought cheers from the crowd of 8,758 which paid $17,695. TV THE PURDUE TEAMi amc HAMTRAMCK'S LEE MILLER REACHES OUT TO LATCH ON TO PASS But big Muskegon defender Is bearing down under full steam fi READING FREE PRESS the new stadium with the university of Michigan and last fall's clash with Notre Dame produced the other sellouts. Business Manager Lyman Frl-modlg and Ticket Manager Warren Burtt joined the happy chorus of "They Are All Gone" early Friday morning.

"We had a brisk sale all week." Burtt said, "and the last of the end-zone tickets were disposed of soon after we opened the windows Friday."

The Nittany Lions have shown glaring defensive weaknesses most of the season. They yielded two touchdowns to a feeble Temple team in the opener and then were hammered for three touchdowns by each of their next three foes, Purdue, William Marj and West Virginia. THEY STIFFENED last week to shut out a Nebraska team which was missing its offensive ace, Bobby Reynolds. It hardly appears likely, however, that Penn State has tightened ita defenses enough to halt an attack with the power and versatility of the Spartans.

While there are obvious defensive flaws in the Penn Slate make-up, the visitors may be the most dangerous offensive team Michigan State has faced. The Lions' top threat is a passing attack engineered by Quarterback Tony Ratios.
