I -i 1 The one-sided victory that reduced Michigan's number of unbeatens to one the Dales also gave coach Frank (Muddy) Waters' club a boost toward another invitation to the Holiday Bowl. HILLSDALE went into the game ranked fourth in the nation bv the National Associa- tion of Intercollegiate Athletics, which sponsors the annual Holiday Bowl at St, Petersburg, Fla. in December. And there was no doubt In the minds of the 6.000 fans jammed into breezy Riverview Park as to the Dales' claim of being best in the MIAA.

Hope didn't score until late In the game, after the Dales built a 35-0 lead. The Dutchmen penetrated Hillsdale territory only twice in the first half, the first time! thanks to a pass interference I call that moved the ball to the 22 and the other time to the 48. The Dutch didn't make it into Hillsdale land again until the final quarter. CONDITIONS were about as bad as possible. It rained here nearly everv day for three weeks.

The high school team and Hope junior varsity and band also use the field, consequently there wasn't a blade of grass for 40 vards in the center of the field nothing but mud. Despite Hillsdale's big defensive advantage, the Dales led only 7-0 at the half on Gary Everling's 46 yard touchdown run with 4:55 left in the first period and the first of five extra points by Bart Misyiak. Most of the play was in Dutch territory and the Hol- IT OHM ings Special to the Free Pres MONTREAL For 18 years Rocket Richard has been scor ing goals that hurt the Red Wings. He did it again Saturday night. The veteran Rocket, at 38 the oldest man in the NHL, scored a third-period goal that brought the Canadiens from behind for a z-z tie with the surprising; Detroiters.

Earlier in the stanza the Wings had staged a rally of their own on counters by Norm seconds, however. When Red Kelly blocked Moore's phot with his skate, the alert Richard pounced cm the loose puck and put it past Terry Sawchuk.

BV HAL MIDDLESWORTH Free Press Staff Writer ANN ARBOR Forward passes fizzled and misfired like cheap fireworks Saturday as Wisconsin turned back fired-up Michigan, 19-10, to keep the Badgers' Big Tea football title hopes alive. There may have been mor ineffective aerial attacks in other conference games, but this one would be hard t9 match. Every touchdown followed an intercepted pass. There were more intercept tions than completions. Wisconsin gained only SO yards in the air and Michigan made half that amount, but th Wolverines' only touchdown came on a pass.

A HOMECOMING Day crowd of 68,063 witnessed the strange proceedings under foggy gray skies. There was a touch of moisture in the air but not enough to cause all the troubl the teams had with flying footballs. The game started with a field goal by Michigan and it I ended with one by Wisconsin. I In between, 21 passes w-er thrown by the Wolverines with six intercepted and only four completed. The Badgers attempted eight, had three in-i tercepted and completed only i two.

MICHIGAN'S six interceptions were only one short of the Big Ten record, but th conference does not list a record for both teams. Five of Wisconsin's aerial thefts were committed against Stan Noskin, Michigan's senior quarterback, who had his finest passing day of the season only a week ago. He did manage to connect three times out of 12 once on a four-yard touchdown toss to end John Halstead. Paul Palmer, a. Canadian sophomore, tried nine passes for the Wolverines, hit one and had one intercepted.

DALE HACKBART. Wisconsin's 6-foot-4 senior, was almost as luckless as Noskin althoush he tripd nnlv fi'o naseae TJa had three taken away and didn't complete one. Sophomore Jim Bakken had the Badgers' two completions out of eight attempts. The Wolverines, facing Wisconsin for the first tima since 1950, stunned the Badgers with Darrell Harper's 34-yard field goal in the firt three minutes. It came after Jared Bushong recovered a fumble by Billy Hobbs on Wisconsin's 22-yard line.

Although that was the last time Michigan had a lead, th Wolverines kept plugging away. THEY WERE within striking distance until Karl Holzwarth booted a 19-yard field goal for the Badgers 20 seconds befort the end of the game. Strong on defense, the Wolverines just couldn't make their passes behave.

BV BOB PILLE Free Press Staff Writer COLUMBUS If Michigan State's young men believe in spooks this Halloween, put the blame on a previously anonymous Ohioan named Tom Matte.

Known outside his family circle mainly as a defense back, the Buckeye junior came masked Saturday as a forward passer. It was a nice little joke from the mild party Woody Hayes allowed his football playing boys Friday night and everybody knows Ohio State doesn't throw passes. BUT MATTE missed the signal to remove disguises. In the gloom of Ohio Stadium he i threw three touchdown passes that sliced up Michigan State's Rose Bowl dreams, 30-24. Matte actually flipped only eight passes, but he hit on five of them for 138 yards.

Before it was over, though, Matte also proved that this is still the town where the cry of I "three yards and a cloud cf has Jately replaced the age-old chant of "hang the coach." The quick 190-pounder, who handled the ball only five times aJ1 last season, finished the a quarterbacking a ground march that ate up 61 lyards and the last 6li minutes cn the clock when comebacking MSU desperately wanted possession. IT WAS REALLY quite a football game for the 82.130 customers who came equipped with the necessary foul weather gear and medicines to ward off the afternoon's drizzles. The Spartans struck for an1 of the day trying to catch up. They came close occasionally but never quite made it. Gary Ballman pushed three yards for one Spartan touchdown.
