Section Steiroit Stem llrcss oday ports SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30, I960 BUCKS BURY LAST TITLE HOPES, 21-10 It 9 All Over but WeepM I OF MSU! BV HAL MIDDLESWOETII Free Pmi SUM writer EAST LANSING It's all over for Michigan State. Not the entivf football season, of course but tic Spartans' chances of even sharing in tha 1960 Big Ten Conference championship. Ohio State, bustling with muscle and eagerly following up State's lapses, hammered out a 21-10 decision Saturday for a mild upset which ended whatever slim possibility there was for the Spartans to remain in the running. This was their second setback in three conference starts, sending away downcast a Homecoming Day crowd of 76,520 which set an attendance record for Spartan Stadium. Two defeats are considered too many for a Big Ten hopeful, especially one like State which is limited to five conference games by Indiana's "no-count" status.

Ohio State, subdued only once in four Big Ten starts, becomes the lone challenger to Iowa and Minnesota, both undefeated, in the battle for the Big Ten title. Iowa (4-0) and Minnesota (3-0) both played non-conference foes while the Buckeyes were sinking the Spartans Saturday. This was Ohio State's first visit to East Lansing and the Buckeyes made it an impressive one with their bone-crushing offense featuring burly quarterback Tom Matte and ferocious fullback Bob Ferguson. Together, they carried the ball 34 times out of 49 for the Bucks to claim 164 of their team's 248 yards on the ground. Matte also connected on half of his 12 passe3, one for a touchdown.

The Spartans, whose fleet runners gained 191 yard3 on Ohio's tigbt-knit line, found their best weapon in Tom Wilson's arm. The poised senior quarterback tried 25 aerials, his high for the season, and hit 10 for 134 yards and one score. Several others found the target but couldn't be held. This was a bristling battle from start to finish, with more personal fouls called than in most pro basketball games. Fists started flying as early as second play from scrimmage and before it was over the officials had walked off six 15-yard penalties three against each team.

Without taking any credit from the fired-up Buckeyes, they got their share of help from the Spartans on all of their touchdowns. Halfback Bob Klein, from Athens, Mich, and the only Michigander in the OSU start Badger Injury Hurts Most ing unit, scored early In the second quarter on a 46-yard sprint after a punt by Bob Suet traveled only 19 yards before going out of bounds. Ferguson, who bulled his way to 112 yards on 18 carrier drove across from the thre-yard line In the Mime period after another punt by Suet was Mocked on the 20. The Michigan State kicker can be excused for that lapse, however. He had to recover the second straight wild paasback by sophomore center Dave Behrman, giving OSU end Tom Terdue time to block the ball as it slithered off the side of Suci'a foot.

The Buckeyes' final tally in the third quarter came on a 26-yard pans from Matte to end Bob Middleton at the end of a 71-yard march which was kept alive hy two of State's 15-yard penalties. LITTLE Ben Jones, the Bucks' extra point specialist, connected once and missed once, so Matte passed to Klein for two points after the other OSU tally. The Spartans found room to run and pass in the middle of the field but frustration at the goal line. They settled for a 25-yard field goal by Art Brandstatter 55 seconds before the end of the first half and a IB-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Herb Add.Tley with less than four minutes of the game remaining. team, sneaked over for the tying touchdown.

Then Jim Bakken, out of health with a bad knee and out of favor for playing baseball instead of football in the spring, kicked the winning 19-yard field goal with a bit less than two minutes remaining. Fabry also engineered the drive that moved from the Badger six to the Wolverine one before Bakken dropped back to boot the deciding goal. With painful irony for Michigan, the BV BOB PILLE Free Press Staff Writer MADISON Wisconsin's two forgotten quarterbacks returned 14 minutes too soon Saturday. They came on the scene with that much time left in the game and brought the Badgers from behind for a 16-13 decision over Michigan.

REAL SLEEPERS Pistons Catch N.Y. Napping BY BOB LATSHAW The New York Knickerbockers didn't get any sleep Friday night because of transportation difficulties and coach Dick McGuire will probably lose a little sleep thinking about the Detroit Pistons' performance Saturday at Olympia. h2r 1 Vis S00 XTSS Cxo i The Pistons manaered to squeeze out a 115-110 victory over the Knicks in the nationally televised encounter but they did it the hard way.

LACKING IN consistent drive and rebounding early in the game, the Pistons struggled to a one-point deficit at the Intermission after trailing by as much as eight points early in the game. Then, with Jackie Moreland hitting 10 points to pace the attack, Detroit pulled out In front, 88-78, at the end of the third quarter. The Pistons built that edge to 12 points early in the fourth period, but with Richie Guerin and Willie Nauls hitting with monotonous consistency, the Knicks moved back Into a tie at 96-96 with 4:50 of the period gone. Gene Shue and Bob Ferry then took over and put the Pis tons back In front, 105-100, only to see that lead disappear. Naulls picked up two points and Dave Budd added a pair before Jack George's two free throws put the Knicks In front, 106-105, with 3:50 left.

BADLEY HOWELL, Ferry, Shue, Don Ohl and Shellle Mc-Millon then combined for nine points to put the game on Ice. The only points posted by the Knicks during this stretch were a pair of free throws by Guerin.

Before the two final thrusts the Wolverines appeared to have the better of things. They held a 13-6 half time lead on two touchdown slants by halfback Dave Raimey, and they stood off Wisconsin's attempts to get even.

THE BADGERS, who were slight favorites, got to the Michigan six-yard line before stalling early In the third period, but that drive had been set up by a fumble recovery on the Michi gan 38. After that Wisconsin turned suddenly powerful. The Badgers put together the two payoff drives with none of the errors that had marked the earlier portion of the afternoon for both sides. Even then Michigan bounced back for one last shot in the final quarter with 1:58 left. Stopping the clock with time outs they had hoarded, the Wolverines moved from their 26-yard line to the Badger 10.

DAVE GLINKA missed on three passes at the beginning, then gambled and got away with sending Dave Raimey up the middle for 10 yards on fourth down. Another running thrust, this time by Bennie McRae and a pass interference call on Wis consin, took Michigan near midf ield. Suddt illy Glinka turned deadly and hit Ken Tureaud yards and Scott Maentz for 15, but with 26 seconds to go there was nothing but frustrating excitement left for the Wolverines. Wisconsin's Jim Vander Kel-en bounced Glinka for a 10- yard loss. With their time-outs gone, the Wolverines hastily as sembled for a field-goal try.

John Halstead's placement from the 26 was blocked, but even that wasn't quite the finish. Glinka retrieved the ball and flipped It over the right side toward end Bob Johnson. Johnson turned in time to see the ball and grabbed it. But Wisconsin rode him down five yards away from the goal line with the clock already run out. For the historians, the loss was Michigan's first here in Camp Randall.

They put together a smart 41-yard drive but saw It checked on Ohio State's 12 when Suci fumbled a handoff and Bill Minkowski recovered for the Buckeyes. A touchdown at that point might have been a big difference, but not much worked very well for the Spartans after that initial disappointment. Suci got a break early in the second period when OSU was penalized for knocking him down following a punt. But his 19-yard kick followed and Ohio State moved right in to break the scoring ice. KLEIN COVERED most of the 75 yards the Bucks needed.

He started with a 14-yard gallop and finished with his touchdown run of 46 yards down the sideline. Suci was in trouble again before long, a low pass from Behrman and a personal foul against the Spartans shoving him deep into Ohio territory. That's when he got another wild pitch from Behrman, this time high, and his punt was blocked by Perdue. After five running plays, Ferguson stabbed the middle to score from the three-yard line, dragging Adderley and Don Stewart into the end zone with him. Time was running out on the Spartans but Wilson got them into scoring position with the help of penalty on OSU for piling on Gary Ballman after a 14-yard gain.

a WILSON FAKED his way 25 yards to the 11, then saw two of his passes dropped In the end Jne. When that happened, Brandstatter salvaged three points with his field goal and It was 14-3 at the Intermission.

BURGESS Massive Illinois shook loose Illinois softened up the Purdue defense with the hard drives of fullback Bill Brown and crisp passes from quarter back John Easterbrook to end Ed O'Bradovich. Purdue got off to a 6-0 lead in the first quarter on a one-yard keeper by quarterback Bernie Allen. Brown blocked Allen's attempted conversion kick. THE DLLINI, looking like the team that was supposed to win the Big Ten title, marched 70 yards with the second-half kickoff.

Easterbrook completed passes to O'Bradovich for 12 yards and Joe Krakowski for 10 and 8 before Starks zipped the last 11. Illinois held Purdue for downs on Its three-yard line in the third quarter, and then scored in the fourth period on Starks 11 yard run, set up by Easterbrook passes to O'Bradovich and Starks. Allen got Purdue started to its final touchdown with a 25 yard keeper play, hit Jim Tiller with passes of 10 and 23 yards and then carried the last yard himself. Purdue went for a two-point conversion and Tiller was stopped short by Illinois' center Darrel Dedecker and guard Joe Wendryhoskl. PURDUE'S defeat was Its first at home In its 13 games and its first by Uinois anywhere in the last seven years.

Wood, Illinois assistant trainer when he isn't kicking, also was the hero of the mini's 10-8 victory over Penn State last Saturday, kicking his third field goal of the season. He has converted 18 extra points without a miss. O'Bradovich's contributions Saturday included interception of an Allen pass on the Illinois three late In the second quarter, along with most of his team's punting. Foe Doubles Up On Cranbrook Western Reserve Academy clipped Cranbrook in both soccer and football Saturday. Bill Coffin scored two touchdowns in a 20-0 decision for the Clevelanders and Joe Gill-man booted Western to a 1-0 soccer victory.

TO SCORE Ohio State's first touchdown as MSU's George Saimes fell short in a goal-line dive at him. The Buckeye sophomore later caught a pass for a two-point conversion. OP Archie Is Taken By Surprise ROME UPi Italy's Giulio Rinaldi handed light heavyweight champion Archie Moore his first defeat In nearly four years Saturday night in a 10-round non-title bout. Moore had gone unbeaten in 19 fights since he was knocked out by Floyd Patterson in their fight for the vacant heavyweight title on Nov. 30, 1956.

FV ADDITION to losing the decision, Arcnie lost $1,000 of his $20,000 purse because he weighed too much. lie agreed to weigh 185 pounds but scaled 190 1-4 to Rinaldi 181 1-4. Moore was stripped of his crown by the American Na tional Boxing Association earlier this week but he was an nounced as the world champion before the fight, witnessed by a crowd of about 14,000. Moore stin Is recognized as world champion by Florida, New York and European boxing groups. Rinaldi appeared to lose his steam in the middle rounds under Moore's polished attack.

In the 10th, however, he rallied powerfully. He nailed Moore with a volley of hard blows to the head. A barrage and a push sent Archie staggering to the ropes. Referee Marcello Tinelli counted to eight over Moore's protest. After the fight Archie said he would give Rinaldi a crack at hia world title because of the Italian! unanimous deci sion victorv.
