BY BOB PIIXE Free Press Staff Writer EAST LANSING You can have your Four Horsemen and your Chinese Bandits. Plain-spoken Michigan State will call them the offensive, defensive, and alternate units and let it go at that. Above all the Spartans will leave the defensive label untouched especially after Saturday's 14-6 victory over Indiana. For the second game in succession it was a goal-line stand that bailed the Spartans out of serious trouble. I A WEEK earlier Notre Dame couldn't score after getting a first down on the MSU two in the threat to get back in the game.

Saturday Indiana was on the four with four chances to makej it and was hurled back when a "-F" rv i version wouia have tiea tne score in the last two minutes. That finished the Hoosiers except for a last desperation throw from John Henry Jackson, the sophomore with the folksong name, whose passing all but brought Indiana from two touchdowns behind in the second half. Michigan State ran up a 14-0 lead on two long drives, both of them leading to touchdowns by Gary Ballman.

TOO MUCH BREEZE, HURRICANES U-D Winded at Tulsa. 21-6 Two long touchdown runs byi Darrell Harper and Fred Ju lian as thrilling as any in the historic series enabled underdog Michigan to belt stodgy Minnesota, 14-6, for a triumph which: Gave Bump Elliott his first Big Ten victory as a head coach. 2 It was also Michigan's first Big Ten victory since beating the Gophers, 20-19, last year. The Wolverines dropped six straight conference decisions after downing Minnesota. 3 Rescued the Wolverines from the conference cellar tor a sixth-place tie with Indiana and Ohio State on a 1-2 record.

Michigan, swamped "by Michigan State and easily handled by Northwestern in its previous Big Ten starts, stunned a crowd of 57.354 with its unexpected success against Minnesota, a one-touchdown favorite. THE WOLVERINES won it the second half on the churn ing legs of Harper and Julian a pair or senior nairoacKs trom Detroit and its suburbs. Harper, team's punting star from Royal Oak, streaked 83 yards on a punt return for the first touchdown of the crisp, sunny afternoon with the second half only two minutes old. Julian, piston-legged product of Detroit Pershing, put it on ice the next time the Wolverines eot the ball sprintinsr 42 yards to score on a cutback which caught the Gophers so flat-footed that no one put a hand on him.

AFTER THAT, the under-; rated Wolverines played it cozy, easing back across the 50-yard line only one more time, in the last few seconds of the game.

Pistons Too Late With Rally Howell Sparkle, But Royals Win Special to the Free Press CINCINNATI It was simply a matter of too littlf too late for the Detroit Pistons here Saturday. Despite a brilliant fourth- quarter rally, sparked by rookie forward Bailey Howell, th Pistons dropped a 108-103 NBA decision to the hustling Cincin- nati Royals in a game wit- nessed by a national television audience. Trailing by 23 points with 5:32 left in the third quarter, 70-47, coach Red Rocha's club started a valiant attempt to overtake the hot-shooting Royals. But it wasn't until Howell returned to the game at the start of the final quarter that the surge became noticeable to 2.u07 worried fans.

The second TD was a swiftie Following an into-the-wind punt to midfield, Keeling tossed a deep pass down the sidelines. Cheap was behind Lusky when he made a fine oyer-the-shoulder catch on a dead run at the 15.

The scoring play covered 41 yards and it was 14-0 after 13:25 of action. DETROIT lost three fumbles and one paved the way to the third Tulsa marker. Halfback Jim Post, one of several Titans performing at part-efficiency because of injuries, failed to field a punt at the 12 when he called for a fair catch. Tulsa's Dick Middleton got it and it took six plays before Keeling went in from the one. The Titans came right back from the kickoff, marched downfield for the first time and finally had first down on the four.

Two plays reached the one. Quarterback Tonv Hanlev called for a pasS- was thrown for a seven-yard loss and that chance jwas gone.

Turn to Page 6, Column 5 BY MARSHALL DANN Free Press Staff Writer TULSA There were two kinds of wind here Saturday a Hurricane, which is the nickname for Tulsa University, and a fierce norwester, which was the real thing mowing out of the prairies at a steady 35 mph clip.

Both were too much for the University of Detroit to stand up against, and the crippled Titans were toppled, 21-6. Tulsa used the wind in its pre-game strategy and jumped to a two-touchdown lead in the first quarter. The lead was 21-0 before U-D scored via a blocked end-zone punt in the last quarter. Now both teams are even for Ihe season with 3-3 records. Statistics say it was a fairly even game.

Detroit had more first downs, 13 to 11, was outgained by only a 282-219 marsrin. rj i i ml, piay lens a. ferent story. Tulsa had two TDs before U-D had crossed midfield. Tulsa had a 21-0 edge before the Titans got within 40 yards on the the Hurricane goal line.

Yet was a fairly even game after a wind-blown action in the first quarter. Tulsa squeezed full profit out of its only op- Iportumties and was stalled at midfield like Detroit most of the time. Once awakened, the Titans were the stronger team in the second half and carried play. Once they were stopped at the one-yard line. Tulsa, with injury problems of its own, did all its scoring with a makeshift backfield.

Jerry Keeling, first-string quarterback, and Joe Cheap, sub halfback, handled all the scoring plays.
