The Wolverines faded quicker than the last rose of summer; Saturday as they were upset, 20 to 14, by Navy.

i A crowd of 82,220 saw Mich-; igan toss away chance after chance for what should have been an easy victory. Then with a weird bit of fourth quarter strategy, the Wolverines opened the gates for Navy and when the Middies were given an opportunity for a "gift triumph," thev made the most of it. 1 MICHIGAN" TEAMS through the years have been the alert opportunists who capitalized on; every break.

Its two noints Irlsn end Monty came when Cadet Caldwell was trapped for a safety in quarterback flipped the; chips were on the line. Operating for the second time this season almost exclusively from the single wing, Michigan rolled up 255 yards by rushing and another 141 by passing and yet could score only twice. It had a yardage total of 396 yards to 279 for the Middies, and piled up 23 first downs to third quarter.

ARMY MISSED on a kick, try after its first touchdown, but after its second, Dawkins gilded his own lily by taking a pitchout and southpawed a two- record, 22 to 8, before 56,793 That made it 14 out of 15 for the Spartans against foes outside the Big Ten Conference since Duffy Daugherty became head coach in 1954. The single setback was a one-point loss to Notre Dame in Duffy's first season. THIS WAS A different kind of Michigan State team which knocked a spunky Pitt eleven from the ranks of the undefeated. With a snap of snow in the air and a strong, cold wind blowing across the field, the Spartans stuck to almost-basic plays and practically ignored the forward pass. They completed only three aerials out of nine attempts and almost all of their passing yardage was wrapped up in a 34-yard toss which came after the scoring was completed.

It was a day for the foot soldiers to take charge and they did with Art Johnson, Roger Donnahoo and Dean Look leading the parade. Johnson and Look were the workhorses, carrying the ball 32 times for a combined total of 90 yards. Donnahoo matched Johnson's 57-yard total with the help of one sprint of 47 which set up the Spartans' final touchdown. A 50-YARD punt by Look which rolled dead on Pitt's one-yard line gave State an opening for its first touchdown, with stubby quarterback Mike Panitch sneaking across from the one halfway through the opening period. Look drove across from the two for another tally on the initial play of the second quarter to complete a 34-yard march.

The Spartans added an insurance counter in the last minute when Larry Bielat passed five yards to Dick Barker in the end zone following Donnahoo's 47-yard gallop down the sideline. The Spartans, who couldn't beg, borrow or steal an extra point in last week's 12-12 tie with Michigan, cashed a pair of two-pointers this time. Johnson took a shovel pass from Panitch after State's first-period score and spun across on a single wing reverse after the second tally. Look tried a running pass to Donnahoo following the final Spartan touchdown, but it was short. PITTSBURGH, which took to the air to control most of the second half, got its only touchdown early in the final period.

After getting the ball near midfield on a fumble by Panitch, the Panthers were balked late in the third quarter when Ellison Kelly intercepted a pass on the goal line. On their second attempt, however, the Panthers pushed 43 yards in eight plays, with halfback Dick Haley spurting through a big hole from, the nine-yard line for the touchdown. On a fake kick for the extra point, quarterback Ivan Toncic jumped up from the ballholder's position and completed an end-zone pass to end Ron Define. An untimely but necessary substitution by the Spartans helped Pitt get across for its touchdown. THE PANTHERS were back on the 14, with third down Turn to Tage 3, Column 5 STATISTICS riTTs.

The Canadiens struck twice within the first 10 minutes to get the jump on the Wings, but needed great support from goalie Jacques Plante to stave off rallies by Detroit in the second and third periods. A CROWD OF 13,763 saw Montreal rack up its second triumph in as many starts in an open game in which fast backchecking by both teams played a big part in keeping the score down.

The futility of Michigan's attack when it was in scoring position is demonstrated by the fact that the Wolverines surrendered the ball on downs five times when inside the Navy 35 yard line. IX THE FIRST quarter, Michigan was stopped on the Middies' 20; in the second period the Wolverines were halted on the 29 and again on the two; and in the third they gave up the ball on the three and 21-yard lines. You can't come empty-handed out of scoring opportunities like, that and win verv often. Navy was a beaten football team with oniy nine minutes to play. Then came the weird call that paved the way for the Middies to roar from behind and win their third straight game.

Michigan held a 14-12 lead. More important, the Wolverines had possession of the ball on their own 34-yard line. They had just picked up a first down on two running plays with Darrell Harper as the ball carrier. After a pass by Bob Ptacek was incomplete, Harper passed 16 yards to Ptacek, but the play was nullified and Michigan penalized 15 yards for clipping on the part of end Walter Johnson. NOW CAME the strange call which altered the entire complexion of the game.

The Wolverines called for a quick kick by Harper and he punted to the Navy 15. Navy, fighting for its life, must have thought the Michl- Turn to Page 3, Column 'W f' "2 1 If 'f 1- jrr I -s4 I -x I Michigans' backs, like Brad end against Navy's opportunists.
