The Wolverines eventually righted things with Rick Sygar's 33-yard field goal at the end of a long drive and applied the clincher on Jack Clancy's touchdown grab of Dick Vidmer's pass with a bit more than seven minutes remaining in the game. WORKING WITH two new quarterbacks to replace graduated All-America Bob Timberlake, the Wolverines stuck to the ground and threw only a dozen passes while rolling up 255 of their 328 yards afoot. Some of the rushing yards might have been costly, for Detwiler limped off in the third period with an injured knee that was to require further examination back home in Ann Arbor. wilted as every collar on the 41,000 customers in the sun-cooked stadium.

They must have been as well fried as Southern chicken in the heat, where the 86-degree official reading felt more like a cool estimate. Before they began broiling, the Wolverines scored in sudden succession on a 29-yard run by Wally Gabler, a six-yard smash by Jim Detwiler, and then a two-yard slam Detwiler. Then the decline set in and North Carolina palled within 21-9 at halftime on Bill Darnall's 53-yard sprint with an intercepted pass and Danny Talbott's 31-yard field goal. Less than two minutes into the third quarter it was an even narrower 21-16 as Talbott turned a Michigan Hurt even earlier and sitting out the rest of the day on the same knee that required surgery last year was defensive guard Barry Dehline. The game probably didn't do much to settle the indecisive feeling about his quarterbacks that plagued U-M coach Bump Elliott almost to kickoff time.

Both Vidmer, the touted sophomore from Pennsylvania, and Gabler, the senior from Royal Oak, had moments that were good and moments that were bad. Vidmer marched the Wolverines from their own 24 to the Carolina 31 the second time in possession in the game.

One thing is certain. MSU rarely has had a fullback that big get away so fast. Apisa carried 13 times in the sweltering afternoon for 99 yards.

The next high man in MSU's collection of 224 ground yards was Junior right half Clinton Jones with 51 UCLA's only points came on a 37-yard third period field goal by Kurt Zimmerman. UCLA never should have been in the game and probably wished it wasn't what with the boiling 90- degree heat on the floor of Spartan Stadium. THE SPARTANS controlled the ball most of the game and allowed the Californians to pass mid-field only three times. But State got shy every time it neafed the goal line. Drake Garrett, sophomore halfback from Dayton, fumbled at the UCLA one-yard line in the second period and second string sophomore quarterback Jim Raye with second down on the UCLA six fired the ball righ to UCLA defender Sandy Green on the goal line in the fourth quarter.

Fortunately, neither Apisa nor Kennedy were bashful when their times came. Apisa is a 6-1, 212-pounder who really caught coach Duffy Daugherty's eye in MSU's windup scrimmage a week ago with a rip-roaring sideline run. The big Hawaiian bruised his knee on that dash but obviously got well in a hurry and pushed past senior Eddie Cotton in the No. 1 backfield Saturday. jin 12 trips.

Sophomore fullback Bob Apisa, who gets away faster than a hula dancer's hips, romped 21 yards for the touchdown and fellow islander Dick Kennedy, the bare-footed place kicker, got his toes into field goals of 34 and 23 yards plus an extra point.

They drove to the Uclans 23 and 41 in the first period and then, late in the quarter, began the march that wound up with Garrett's bobble on the third play of the second quarter. THE SPARTANS kept UCLA backed up against the goal line and took over on the Bruin 37 after Larry Cox's punt. Jones went for seven and quarterback Steve Juday, who didn't have a particularly outstanding day, connected with favorite target Gene Washington for nine more down to the 21. Then Apisa blasted through center, pulled away from the grasp of several tackier and, -inside the five, yanked himself away from final defender Bob Richardson and dove Into the end zone. Almost the first man to him was Kenney, racing onto the field for the extra point, and they almost did the Hawaiian War Dance.

He went on to hit hundreds of home runs and make 'a million dollars but it wasn't until Saturday after-! noon, in the sunshine of Yankee Stadium, that Mickey Mantle learned about the true riches of the world.

It was "Mickey Mantle Day" in the Bronx and they gave him a silver Chrysler and a salami, a week's vacation in Rome and a year's supply of bubble gum, a small yacht and a case of champagne.

Instead oldtime trainer C. C. Norman chose to run the rugged six-year-old mare against the colts Saturday in the $91,400 Michigan "Mile" and she didn't let her owner and trainer down. "I must have flipped my lid," Norman had brushed off needlers before Michigan's richest horse race, but Old Hat must have been crazy, too. the MSU 29.

It was the bull ring at Madrid, the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, Louis and Schmeling a generation ago. The Mick daubed his left eye, then his right eye, and for the first time in his career, he choked up. He put on quite an act for a while. He smiled and doffed his cap and waved to every plumber and to every guy and gal jammed into the massive 'stadium.

THE MICHIGAN "Mile" was the 31st victory of Old Hat's career and by far the greatest. To Jockey Bob Gallimore must go much of the credit. Riding the mare for only the fourth time in her career, he was lucky to get her out in one piece from that early jam. Old nat broke alertly and went right with the leaders, but there was a sudden rush for the lead swinging into the turn. Viking Spirit, the West Coast speedster, went up fast after a slow start and Tronado took off after him on the outside.

Peter Pumpkin, the only Detroit horse in the race, surged forward on the inside. Gallimore found himself bouncing off horses with Old Hat and his mare was knocked off stride momentarily, but he held her together expertly and got her running again heading into the backstretch. Turn to Page 16F, Column 8 A crowd of 23,208, figuring that the Michigan "Mile" actually run at a mile and an eighth, was no place for a lady, let. Old Hat go to the post at odds of more than 5-1 and she paid $13 to win but only $4.40 to place and $3.20 to show. Roman Brother was a standout favorite at 9-5 in the biggest betting race in Michigan history.

The fans bet $223,537 on the event, almost $14,000 more than the old high wagered on the Au Revoir Handicap at Hazel Park earlier this summer. Old Hat, with her $59,410 winner's share of the purse, now shows earnings of $477,773 to stand second only to the retired Cicada among the country's race mares. It's a long way to the top, more than $300,000 to go, but Old Hat has a running start toward the 1965 filly and mare championship.
