It is hard to remember the last time a Buckeye team was handled so rudely. The Spartans had everything. They rolled up 538 yards 387 of these rushing. They slammed down Ohio State's version of an offense until it was a cloud of dust and yards lost.

THE BUCKEYES WERE belted into a minus 22 yards rushing. Memory runneth contrary to such an occurrence in all of Ohio State's proud years of football. And Woody Hayes ran not walked off after his quickest post-game handshake since he tried to make conversation with Bump Elliott after laying it onto the Wolverines, 50-20, four seasons ago in Ann Arbor. The Ohio coach, who has been known to walk off angry even as a winner, crossed palms quickly with Duffy Daughtery, waved off photographers who wanted to record the handshake for posterity and trotted for the safety of the dressing room. Woody might have wondered what hit him.

On the scoreboard it was two touchdowns by Clinton Jones, another by Bob Apisa, a safety, a field goal by Dick Kenney and, finally, a touchdown by fourthstring quarterback Chuck Lowther as time ran out in the game. About the only thing the Spartans missed was a capacity crowd, falling slightly short at 75,288. THEY WON" their fifth straight to remain undefeated with half the season gone. They maintained a first-plact tie in the Big Ten with Purdue and such unlikely front-runners as Wisconsin and Minnesota. For Ohio State, the 25-point margin of defeat was the worst in all of the 93 Big Ten games of Woody's regime.

The last time the Buckeyes were beaten worse within the Big Ten was 105 conference games ago by Minnesota, 27-0, in 1949.

Bob Griese left Michigan's football team in the same condition here Saturday beat. The multi-talented Purdue quarterback spent the entire afternoon softening up the Wolverines with his arm, then supplied a death blow with his foot as the Boilermakers eked out a thrilling 17-15 victory before 85,905 fans. Griese parked 35-yard field goal over the uprights with 55 seconds remaining to snatch victory from a vastly improved Michigan team that did everything but win the game. THE TRIUMPH left the Boilermakers with a 4-0-1 rec-cord and set up a showdown for the Big Ten lead with unbeaten Michigan State at West Lafayette next Saturday. For the luckless Wolverines, it was the third straight loss and this one was the toughest of all.

Michigan had outplayed Purdue for a half, yielded a lead, then struck back to grab a 15-14 lead on Rick Sygar's field goal with 10 minutes left. It proved one minute too much. There was no stopping Griese. The 6-foot-l junior passed for a whopping 273 yards. His 22 completions included third-period touchdown tosses to Jim Finley and Jim Beirne that wiped out Michigan's 6-0 lead and also set up his game-winning field goal.

The Wolverine defense held Griese at bay for a half and the offense eliminated its fumbles and moved sharply. Wally Gabler turned in a Turn to Page 8C, Column hints of what was coming.

They were to finish with that minus yardage and without a rushing first down. Only twice previously had a Big Ten team held another with one of those.

SEES HIS BOYS DROP A TOUGHIE, 41-34 School President Tartars 9 Fan The Tartar cheers were muffled by two freakish fourth-period plays which lifted UWM to a tight 41-34 victory in the final 71 seconds. Wayne State tailback Al Lundquist fumbled midway in the period and UWM's Frank Orzell picked off the ball in midair to speed 31 yards to a touchdown, putting the Wisconsin team ahead, 34-26. With the score deadlocked at 34-34 and time running out, Lundquist intercepted a pass on the Wayne three, but fumbled, the ball rolling into the end zone.

End Charles Scholtz recovered it there for UWM's winning margin. Between the fumbles, Lundquist sped 57 and 22 yards for Tartar scores. Wayne State led through the first half on short touchdown strikes by George Brooks, Norm Levin and A. J. Vaughn.

But the passing of Brian Barrington, who hit 24 of 37 throws for 363 yards, gave UWM command in the second half. It was Wayne State's second defeat against once victory and a tie. now president at the University of Illinois, was aiming the Tartars for the "big time" a dozen and more years ago. Dr. Keast has no notions of "big time" sports for Wayne.

But sports will continue, perhaps with some emphasis. "Certainly sports are essential to the school," Dr. Keast said, "but I don't mean only football. I think we should have a well-rounded program rowing, lacrosse, soccer, if those are things our students want. "I like the Ivy League approach to it all a sports program that will appeal to students, alumni and the community." WSU was involved in a wild and fast-moving scoring duel with the Milwaukee Branch of the University of Wisconsin.

These are the type of teams the Tartars will be facing in the next few years. "We have dropped out of the Presidents Athletic Conference," said Dr. Keast, "and our interest now is with schools like our own, metropolitan schools of comparable size, academic standing and interests."

Football spirit football with refreshing enthusiasm. has returned to oF WSU, and the leader of the cheers is Dr.

W. R. Keast, the school's freshman president. He was parked there among some 1,500 in the stands at Tartar Field Saturday, and his behavior belied the popular image of the cool, indifferent college boss. HE IS SOMETHING of a football nut, a basketball bug, an all-around sports buff, and that is something rare indeed on the concrete campus out Cass Ave.
