At times the Wolverines were the prowling Blueshirts of old. At other moments they were just another football team working out its opening-day mistakes. But Michigan's good moments were impressive enough and prevailed long enough ,1 1.

That's the story in a nutshell of the hard-fought 7-7 tie which Michigan State played with the University of Pittsburgh Saturday as the Spartans opened their 1960 football season be-for 46.140 fans and a nationwide television audience of millions. There may have been better openers in the history of the game, but few have been more spirited than this contest which threatened to break out in a free-for-all at the end. AM, THE SCORING was done in the final 69 seconds of the first half with some beautiful aerial work figuring in both touchdowns. Then, In the last minute of the game, with the Spartan trying- to get their backs off the ranthers' coal line, the fisticuffs broke out. It began with a 15-yard pass from Tom Wilson, Michigan State's veteran quarterback, to end Wayne Fontes.

After the tackle Pitt's Paul Hodge, a senior guard made a threatening move toward Fontes. Fred Arbanas, State's 215-pound end, took after Hodge. 208. Mike Ditka, captain of the Panthers, jumped between them. but before he could restore peace, individual scraps were breaking out all over the field.

COACHES Duffy Daugherty and John Michelson kept their players on the sideline from joining the fray and the officials restored ordrr after ejecting a halfback from each team MSU' Herb Adderley and Pitt's Bob Clemens. The Spartans cannot be blamed for a case of taut nerves. By every measurement except the scoring, they were the better team. The made 19 first downs to Pittsburgh's 11 and piled up more than twice as much yardage as the Panthers, 359-173. BUT THE PAYOFF is on points and five 15-yard penalties crippled whatever chances the Spartans had of opening with a victory over the once-beaten Panthers.

One of the 15-yarders killed a second-half drive to the Pittsburgh five-yard line. Another nullified a spectacular catch on the Panther 30 when the Spartans were moving again. To add to State' frustration. Art Brandtatter mied two field-goal attempts inside jth 25-yard line. Although both teams are noted for their hard-running attacks, they might never had scored without some gaudy passing- efforts.

Some lucky catches helped, too. FRED COX, a workhorse in the backfield, made one of them to set up Pittsburgh's touchdown. He barely got his hands on a toss by Dave Kraus which was goodvfor 39 yards and put the Panthers on States 26-yard line. On the next play Kraus hit Ditka on the sideline for 14 more yards and two plays Inter he connected again with Ditka for the Panthers' only score. The veteran end and All-America candidate made a dive for the ball just as it went into the zone between Ike Grimsley and Carl Charon.

That was the end of a 65-yard drive in four plays for the Panthers. Only one minute and nine seconds remained in the Turn to Page S. Column 8 BY LVALL SMITH Free Press parts Writer SOUTH Mck Depola of Portage, Pa one of a covey of hand-picked sophomores selected to "lead Notre Dame out of the football wilderness, put the Irish on the right road here Saturday. Big Nick Is a guard. He hit the scoring column in unexpected style by stealing an attempted quick kick off the toe of a California halfback and barreling eight yards Into the end zone to break the spine of the West Coast invaders.

They had been tough for Notre Dame to handle until Depola, 6-2 and 215 pounds, turned touchdown-maker. BI THEN" they wilted as the Irish took a 21-7 decision before 49,286 shirt-sleeved customers in their opener of coach Joe Kuharich's second season. The Golden Bears, 7-3 victims of Tulane in their debut a week ago, not only held the Irish to a 7-7 deadlock at halftime Another sophomore, halfback Dave Raimey, streaked 25 yards to a first-quarter score the first time he touched a collegiate football under fire. Afoot the Wolverines spread their best yardage among five backs bracketed between 40 and 57 yards gained apiece. As a team Michigan all but tripled the yardage on Oregon, 377-135.

THE WEBFOOTS were out of their own territory only once all aftsrnoon, and anybody among the 50,889 customers who turned his head for even a small nip of cider missed that. The Ducks made their thrust, if you can call it that, on an intercepted pass on the Michigan 37. Next play they fumbled the ball back to the Wol verines. Really, the only rap on Michigan was a couple touchdowns that got away. The Wolverines fumbled once on the Oregon three and killed another drive on the four with a mass dive offside.

But the first time the Wolverines had the ball they looked as if all Bump Elliotfs first-day worries were just the pessimistic frettings of another football coach. THEY ROIXEP 53 yards to score in eight plays, and it could have been quicker than that.

But after the welcome Intermission on a sweltering afternoon with temperature in the high 80s, the Irish broke looe. It was halfback Bob Scarpit-to, a talented senior from New Jersey, who had kept them even in the opening- half with a short scoring burst for the first touchdown of the day.

It was the same Bob Scar-pitto, Notre Dame's leading scorer last year, who regained them the lead after the second half kickoff. He took it on his came a 2-0 first Inning Yankee lead and chased starter Art Ditmar. Malzone drove in single runs in the fourth and fifth, and his two-run homer climaxed a three-run seventh for Boston. BOTH STENGEL and Red Sox manager Mike Higgins threw 20 players into the game and Stengel came up with such situations as starting Gil Mc-Dougald at second, shifting him to third, and then back to second. And when he pinch hit for Joe DeMaestri in the 10th, he found himself out of infielders.

Deron Johnson, an outfielder, filled in at third for the last inning. The Pirates, whose magic number is now one, can clinch their first Tag in 33 years Sunday with a victory over the Braves or another Cub triumph over the Cards. The Pirates, leading by six turtles, have only five left to play, compared with seven for St. Louis. LEW BI RDETTE, who hadn't beaten the Pirates all year, went the distance for the Braves.

He was slapped for 11 hits but hung on to register his 18th triumph of the season. He has lost 12. Burdette was in trouble in every inning except the fourth and seventh but, except for Roberto Clemente's homer in the third, and another four-bagger by Dick Stuart in the ninth, managed to avoid being scored Four double plays helped him.

BOSTON Mickey Mantle crashed a dramatic 10th-Inning homer Saturday that brought New York its eighth straight victory, a 6-5 decision over Boston, and reduced the Yankees' magic number to two.

The Yankee victory; plus Cleveland's 6-5 victory over second-place Chicago, moved iNew York two giant steps closer to its 10th pennant in 12 years under Casey Stengel. Any combination of New York wins and Chicago losses totaling two will eliminate the White Sox. One Yankee win or Baltimore loss eliminates the Orioles.
