"Knock 'em loose from the ball then ram it down their throats," they said. And it was that simple as the young Spartans waltzed to a ridiculously easy 38-14 victory over a Stanford University eleven which upset Ohio State just a week ago.

Van fajt. BY TOOIY DEYLVE Free Press Staff Writer ANN ARBOR A lanky, crew-cut youngster who has been just a name on the University of Michigan roster took the long leap to football stardom Saturday. Terry Barr, a 172 pound halfback from Grand Rapids, put on a sizzling one-man show as he led the Wolverines to a decisive 26-2 victory over Army. A sellout crowd of 97,233 saw Michigan roll to its third straight victory of the season roll in -a manner and by a margin that is certain to keep it high among the nation's top-ranked units. THIS WAS the sixth meet-ing of a classic series between Michigan and Army.

It waa the first time the Wolverines! were able to triumph. It was a strange game game that had been heralded as a match between two pre-sicion drilled and slick-ball handling units a game that forecasts indicated would feature two brilliant lines and hence well could be decided on the passing skills of the rival quarterbacks. So what happens? Instead of precision and ball handling skill the contest turns into one extreme raggedness and sloppy execution. On a bright, perfect fall football day. Army fumbled NINE times and lost the ball on EIGHT of those occasions.

Michigan chipped in with three fumble and two of them were recovered by Army. Through the air, teams likewise were futile and frustrated most of the time. Army could complete only one of 10 forward passes, while Michigan made good with but four of 13. BUT FROM GAMES that follow strange patterns unexpected stars emerge and that was ths way it was with Barr. uirmfiAM cc t7a barta (A) i TROUBLE L003IS AT ARMY 15-YARD LINE AS BARR GOES 82 YARDS FOR SECOND-QUARTER TOUCHDOWN 'iy'Z liant offense to stamp them as real comers in the Big Ten Championship race, the Spartans delighted 47,586 fans by striking for a 26-0 halftime margin then breezing to their second victory in three starts this year.

They ground out a 66-yard touchdown march the first time they got the ball. Then they jarred the Indians from the Pacific Coast with three straight fumble recoverieseach of which led to a touchdown. Rome may call those breaks gainst the invaders. But it should be pointed out that each one was the result of a bone-shattering tackle by the aggressive Spartans and that it took drives of 40, 50 and 70 yards to get the touchdowns. That can't be luck.

The play covered 40 yard and took the ball to the Army one. From there Barr slanted across for the score. The touchdown came after nine minute and 20 seconds of play. Michigan had gained control of the ball to provide Barr's opportunity when Tackle Ai Sig-man recovered a fumble by the Army's Pat Ubel on the 46.

With third down and fiv yards to go, Maddock rolled out to his right and pulled the Army defense in. Then he fired deep downfield to Barr who caught the ball on the nine- and raced to the one before he was pulled down. i iw iiihimj i''jwiiii'yMjw-i'ajj'wgTO So-. 'JS. Special ta the Free Freas TORONTO The Detroit Red Wings, National Hockey League champions for the past seven years, lost their second straight in the new season Saturday night to drop into the league cellar.

Stanford scoring twice on runs of 12 and three yards and galloping 90 yards on 15 rushes. Quarterback Earl Morrall jgged the first touchdown of his career on a short sneak while Fullback Jerry Planutis and his third-string replacement, Don Gilbert, also tallied on plunges. But the most spectacular coring of the day was a 50-yard pass from Morrall to End John (Big Thunder) Lewis In the first quarter. In fact, about the only fellows who didn't enjoy a big day in the Spartans' runaway were their extra-point kickers. Planutis cashed his second and third attempts but had two blocked and another go astray, as did End Dave Kaiser.

COACH DUFFY Daugherty took advantage of the Spartans' big halftime lead to pour second and third-stringers into action most of the second half, using 10 different halfbacks and 46 players in all. It was only against the reserves 'that Stanford was able to operate at all, scoring twice in the fourth quarter after State had assumed a 82-0 mar- gin.
