It'll be a warm New Year's, For MSU." BY JOE FALLS Free Press Sports Writer WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. They sure do it different in college football.

No champagne, no beer baths, no earthy expletives. When they win the pennant, as Michigan State all but did Saturday in its stirring 14-10 victory over Purdue, they sing their school song, they cheer their school cheers and Duffy Daugherty sits in a cqrner of the tumultuous dressing room with a coke in his hand (no apple, Duff?) and fends off any mention of Pasadena and the Rose Bowl. He puts on a nice act. But he doesn't fool anyone. "AH I'll say is that we'll be unbeaten going into the Northwestern game," he smiles with that cherubic smile of his.

But he knows everybody knows that the Spartans are right there, within range of winning their first Big Ten football title for their popular coach. The strongest thing Duffy would say was "we kept the pressure on and that's the mark of a champion." WHAT DAUGHERTY must guard against is a letdown in the final three Big Ten games. "I found out the hard way that you can't sluff off any team in this conference and expect to win," he said. "Sure, this was a big one for us as big as we've played in years. But it won't mean anything unless we come through in our final three games." Across the room, quarterback Steve Juday was toweling off after his shower and saying, no, he didn't think the players would let down.

"Listen, this is a mature team," said Juday, who is all of 20 years old. "We know what's going on. We knew this was the big game for us, that this was "But now we also know what'll happen if we don't keep pushing. Just being aware of it will help us." Juday was asked if the players ever talked about "Rose Bowl." "Not even at midnight under the bridge of the Ked Cedar?" "Not even then," he smiled. The Spartans' victory was a tribute to the team's poise.

The Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens bembed the league champion Red Wings, 8-1, Saturday in an explosive National Hockey League season opener in the Forum.

3MANAGER-COACH Sid Abel has reason to worry on both counts. Four of the Canadiens goals were scored on the power BY JACK SAILOR Free Press Sports Writer WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Michigan State's Spartans, slicked down for a half by that Griese kid stuff, combed the star Purdue quarterback out of their hair Saturday and made advance reservation for a Pasadena party. Frustrated, beleagured and thwarted at every turn for three periods, the Splendid Spartans exploded for two touchdowns within six minutes in the fourth quarter to foil Purdue, 14-10, and take firm command of the Big Ten football race. THE VICTORY, gained before a record 62,113 fans in Ross-Ade Stadium, was the sixth straight for MSU, the nation's second-ranked team.

The loss spilled Purdue from the unbeaten ranks with a 4-1-1 record and once again left coach Jack Mollenkopf's Boilermakers with dismal title and bowl hopes. The victory a accomplished as the startled Spartan play and Detroit defensemen THIRD PERIOD: l-Montreal: Duff (La Perriere, Beliveau) 4.00. Montreal: Talbot (Ferguson, Larose) 5.00.

In other occasions the fleet Canadiens got in behind the defense. And if that sort of thing; keeps up, Crozier's health will be a major problem the Candiens whistled shots at him from all angles. Detroit, which opens its home season Sunday at 7 p.m. at Olympia against Toronto, hardly was in the game Saturday. Gilles Tremblay scored at 1:44 of the first period, taking Henry Richard's pass on a two-on-one play with only Bergman back and he dove but missed both Richard and the puck before the pass.

GIVEN the lift, State finally dented the grudging Purdue defenders in the tense fourth quarter as Bob Apisa and Clinton Jones climaxed marches with touchdowns from one and eight yards out. Penalties played a key role in all the Purdue scoring, but the Striped Shirts came back to haunt the Boilermakers as a Purdue violation helped MSU along to the game-winning touchdown.
