IF ANY PLAY'ER on the No. 2 team tried harder, i was little quarterback Jimmy Raye. Everybody knew -there was an All-America quarter back on the field. Most were under the impression tha his name was Bob Griese and that he played for Purdue IT WAS PURDUE'S first catastrophe in Big Ten play this year: The Boilermakers still can purchase Pasadena tickets by defeating Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Indiana.

For Michigan State, No. 2 this week in both major national polls, it was the sixth victory this season and the fourth straight in the Big Ten. Perhaps, indeed, the Spartans did try harder after being No. 1 all year and dropped to second behind Notre Dame last week. The Spartans seemed intent on stomping Purdue more decisively than the 26-14 licking Notre Dame gave the Boilermakers.

They succeeded. It was the most points scored against a Purdue team in 28 games.since the 1963 team lost to Illinois, 41-21. It In the first half, when State ended the game with MSU No. 1, Says Joe Falls Page 2C BY HAL McCOY Free Press Sports Writtr EAST LANSING Purdue most likely will represent the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl but not as the Big Ten's best team. The Boilermakers had their noses rubbed in the dirt of Spartan Stadium Saturday by the best team in the Big Ten, maybe even the best team in the nation Michigan State.

The Spartans, ineligible to play in the Rose Bowl because of last year's ill-fated voyage, outpassed, out-rushed, outdefensed, outhustled and outscored Purdue, 41-20, before 78,014 Spartan homecoming fans. Whammo! 21-0 lead, Kaye was by far the best quarterback. Raye had his first pass attempt intercepted. Griese completed his first one for 15 yards. That's the last timej Griese held the upper hand.

AFTER Raye's first pass was intercepted by Dick Marvel at the Purdue 40, Griese hit end Jim Beirne with 15-yard first-down pass. From there until four plays before the half Purdue didn't get another first down. Its offense resembled a conga line one-two-three-kick.

Gophers 0 BY JACK SAYLOR Fret Press Sports Writtr ANN ARBOR Michigan took out a month 'of football frustration on Minnesota Saturday. The Wolverines annihilated the not-so-golden Gophers, 49-0, for the biggest victory margin in the 74-year-old series before a Homecoming crowd of 71,749 in Michigan Stadium.

Michigan won the toss, took the wind at its back and breezed. The Little Brown Jug was safely secured by half-lime, when the count reached, 35-0, and the only thing In question was how many touchdowns Michigan would get and who would get them. Michigan displayed its first Homecoming queen in 149 years, but it seemed more important that this was the Wolverines' first victory in a month and how they savored it. Down the drain went a three-game losing streak as the U-M record was squared at 3-3 for the season. The triumph also broke the ice in the Big Ten, giving Michigan a 1-2 record.

The tarnished Golden Gophers are now 2-3-1 overall and 1-1-1 in the conference. THIS WAS A DAY for Michigan to get its football house is order. Carl Ward got pointed in the right direction, Dick Vidmer hit his receivers in the eye, Jack Clancy finally broke into the scoring column and Rick Sygar enjoyed a day of revenge. Jim Detwiler, running with the abandon that marked his fine sophomore season, scored two touchdowns. Clancy speared Vidmer passes for two more.

Second-string quarterback Colin O'Brien led the subs in the final score at the end of the third quarter. Joe Azzaro kicked his first field goal of the year, a 32-yard-er, to cap the Oklahoma disaster. The Irish were unsettled, though, when sophomore end Jim Seymour of Berkley, Han-ratty's prime target, left the game near the end of the first half with a twisted left instep.

The foot was immediately placed on ice and there was no zone. He was helped from tne field and never returned. He caught three passes for 47 yards and helped set up the second Irish touchdown before he left.
