In the running besides USC and UCLA is Washington State, which plays only three league games this year and doesn't meet either the Trojans or Bruins. However, Washington State holds three victories over Big Ten teams a 7-0 decision over Iowa, 14-13 over Minnesota and 8-7 over Indiana. rival Wisconsin and Ohio State has games with Iowa and Michigan. The best Minnesota and Ohio State could finish is 6-1. Even if Indiana upset MSU and Minnesota and Ohio State won their pair for a 6-1 tie, State would get the Big Ten athletic directors' nod as the most representative team because of its impressive victory over Ohio State and because both Minnesota and OSU have been to the Rose Bol more recently than MSU.

The Athletic Association of Western Uni It's Rose Bowl a Go-Go for Michigan State sure, but the Spartans' Jan. 1 opponent probably won't be decided until the Nov. 20 meeting between Southern California and UCLA. The Spartans' convincing victory at Iowa Saturday was their sixth Big Ten decision without a loss, while Ohio State and Minnesota have been beaten once.

It was May 18, 1963. The time was 2 a.m.

He remembers that, too. "A little of me died that day," the marvelous Michigan State halfback said softly in the quiet of the trainer's room after Saturday's 35-0 victory over Iowa. That was the day and the hour that Ernie Davis died. "He was my hero, you know," Jones said in a voice that was barely audible. "I used to see him around Cleveland when I was in high school.

"He used to say Hi' to me and we'd talk about football." Ernie Davis won the Heisman Trophy that year, and now there are those who think Clinton Jones is worthy of collegiate football's highest individual award. BY JACK SAYLOR Free Press Sports Writer IOWA CITY The magic number for mighty Michigan State is down to two for a national championship, that is. The splendid Spartans clinched at least a share of the Big Ten title here Saturday and won the Rose Bowl bid. The Spartans stalked into the land of corn and gave Iowa a shockingly easy 35-0 threshing for their eighth straigt victory as the cornpone came up roses. A CROWD of 54,700 watched here, along with a regional TV audience.

And what a TV show! The Spartans sparkled as brightly as the NBC Peacock. Clinton Jones' Nielsen ratings should be better than "The Beverly Hillbillies." The 190-pound halfback scored four touchdowns, tying an MSU record, on runs of 19, six, four and four yards. And the Spartan defense. Those white-jersied behemoths must have looked like "The eats Illini Certainly there couldn be any dissenters among the 54,700 fans who saw Jones score four touchdowns in the victory over Iowa. Duffy Daugherty wouldn't say because the Duff knows a trap play when he sees one but he came as close as a coach can come to booming his boy for the award.

"I wouldn't trade Jones for any halfback in the country," said Daugherty. "He's a fine blocker, runner and team player. "He'3 got more balance than any halfback we've ever had. That's why he breaks so many tackles." or ump as Usua 23-3 AP Photo Clinton Jones (26) is the Tasadena Express as he rams for one of his four touchdowns. And so many hopes.

Quarterback Steve Juday logged 60 yards of the total, too. and occasionally turned "Flipper" for another 116 yards as State ran its Big Ten record to 6-0. BY BOB PILLE Free Press Sports Writer CHAMPAIGN Ho hum. A little rain, a little sunshine, but a routine afternoon. The score, for those who are curious, was 23-3.

Michigan won of course. The Wolverines were playing Illinois. The decision made it seven straight for the Wolverines over their flatlands friends, six of these since it became Elliott brother against Elliott brother on the coaching lines. 0 IS GOOD YEARS and lean, Bump's Michigan teams beat Pete's Illini. This time they squared the season records of both at 4-4.

This one was geared around the quarterback ing excel-ence of Wally Gabler, the running slickness of Carl Ward, and a Wolverine defense that allowed nothing damaging. Ward slashed for 139 yards and dived over defenders for two Michigan touchdowns one a one-yard run, the other a five-yard pass from Gabler. Gabler passed for 124 yards, hitting seven of 12, and ran for another 68 yards, including a three-yard slant for the finishing U-M touchdown. Getting better and better every week since the quarterbacking job has been his, Gabler handled the offense flawlessly, faking beautifully and running and passing effectively. Every pass connection was worked THE OFFICIAL, stamp on the records.

His four TDs were more than any Michigan State player had ever scored in a Big Ten game They also tied the Big Ten record. His 24 points tied a Michigan State record and his touchdown total jumped to 11, just one short of the Spartans' all-time record. But Clinton Jones doesn't deal in statistics. He was unaware that he had set any records. In fact, he wasn't even satisfied with himself.

"I didn't block as well as I'd liked to," he said. "I'm only satisfied when I can make 80 per cent of my blocks and I wasn't making that many today.

Just as the Hazel Park meeting ended more than three months ago with Take Over the winner of the big race, so did the DRC bow out with Montell Stewart's stretch-running four-year-old winning he Auld Lang Syne Handicap. As usual, jockey Clarence Meaux circled the field with Take Over on the stretch turn and turned back a belated bid by Roberval to win by 1'2 lengths. At $7.20 for $2, he was one of four getaway favorites to win. Up the track came Baird with Wesley Ashcraft, one of eight losers he rode after winning the opener with the favored Col. Steed, his 80th victory at the 84-day meet.

BY AL COFFMAN Jockey champion Bobby Baird won only one race and leading owner M. H. Van Berg went away empty-handed Saturday as Michigan's record breaking 1965 thoroughbred season ended under the lights at the Detroit Race Course. There were plenty of winners, however, to satisfy the appetites of 21,947 fans who assembled on the last day of the 168-day campaign. The crowd bet itself out on the $20,000 Auld Lang Syne Handicap and the DRC fell some $5,000 shy of its all-time record with a handle of $1,746,252.

EVEN A COMPARATIVELY modest twin double payoff of $446.80 to a sizable 253 winners didn't give the horseplayers enough ammunition to top the DRC record. Still, the track closed out its biggest season with a But finding a more team than Michigan State taxes the imagination. The game was a "Bonanza" for the Spartans a warmup for the big TV show Jan. 1 (consult your paper for time, channel and opponent). The poor Hawkeyes weren't "Lost in Space" just lost.

The heavy-hearted Iowans had dedicated the game to the father of quarterback Gary Snook, who died last Wednesday. But the Spartans were dedicated, too, and responded to clinch coach Duffy Daugherty's first Big Ten title in his 12 years at State. into a scoring thrust. The senior from Royal Oak took the Wolverines to points on four of the first seven times they touched the football, with a 24-yard field goal by Rick Sygar added to the touchdowns. There was brotherly love, too, even as the score mounted from the halftime 17-3 to the eventual 23-3.

The Wolverines didn't throw a pass in the second half, and they quit scoring after they had marched with the second-half kiekoff to Gabler's touchdown.

As soon as the gun sounded after Wayne's 7-6 victory over Thiel at Tartar Field, Gale took off to greet high school gridders invited to the game in the Tartars' first recruiting effort in 12 years.

WAYNE JOINED the de-emphasized PAC in 1954. The Tartars won the PAC crown in 1956 and 1964 and finished with a 3-3-1 record this year, good for fourth place.
