DETROIT FREE PRESS Friday. Nov. 9. '62 R-f L. iVitthn i CONFIDENCE, IT'S WONDERFUL MSU HAS IT FIGURED This to Bowl.

Way WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (CPU Coach Bill Hildebrand, whose Wake Forest team hasn't won a football game this" season, at least can claim the loyalty and support of the student body. More than 500 students marched on Hildebrand's home and presented him with a scroll expressing "confidence" in the coach and the Deacons, who are 0-7 for the season with three games to go. The scroll read, in part: "We see no reason for dissatisfaction with the Wake Forest record this year as we understand the problems inherent in the production of a winning football team in a truly academic atmosphere." three Saturdays that remain in the Big Ten season, is the following succession of events: Nov. 10 Wisconsin beats Northwestern.

Nov. 17 Purdue beats BY BOB PILLE Dan Boisture, at 37, has done his share of figuring How to get through the University of Detroit, how to run up a 37-4-2 coaching record at Redford St. Mary, how to recruit the neighborhood for Michigan State, how to coach MSU backs. As a long-range thinker, he also can figure the Spartans into the Rose Bowl. All it takes, through the Dan Boisture What a Switch! Win eaten And Pistons Win!

24 Minnesota beats Wisconsin. And one more small clause on the same succession of Saturdays: Michigan State must beat Purdue at home, Northwestern and Illinois on the soad. The results would leave the Spartans alone at the top of the Big Ten, the only team with only one conference defeat. STATE can't risk a tie In the standings with Purdue or Northwestern, for the Boilermakers have never been to the Rose Bowl, and the Wild-" cats have not been there since before the Spartans were. Rose Bowl selection is a voting thing, though selections are usually automatic.

Rules state that each athletic director In the confer-; ence shall vote for "his choice as the most representative team in the conference, exclusive of the team which participated In the Immediately preceding Rose Bowl game." This would rule out Minnesota, although you can get lockerroom lawyers to argue that the Gopher's trips of the last two years don't because there was no formal contract between the Big! Ten and the Rose Bowl. IF THE VOTE of the athletic directors is a tie, there are these rules of procedure! 1 The institution which has never participated shall designated (Purdue or Indiana.) 2 If two have never participated, the winner of their regular-season game shall be designated (Purdue vs. Indiana). 3 If the teams have partici- pated, the team which last-went shall be eliminated. Of" the contenders in this category, the following order of selection would prevail: Northwestern (1949) Michigan State (1956) Wisconsin (1959) Minnesota (1962) To be safe, the Spartans had better see that the Boisture plan is followed.

THERE WAS A LITTLE FOOTBALL REUNION the other evening in the television studios of WJBK. It was a sort of informal get-together one of those "the show must go on" deals necessitated by the absence of the regular performers of the Detroit Lions Quarterback Club who are sojourning in California, Ex-Lion Russ Thomas, cast in the role of team leader, took a fast glance at the assembled bodies.

REFEREE Frank Udvari called 12 penalties, and seven of them were on the Wings with Young, the NHL leader, drawing three. Lou Fontinato, that bad man of old, wouldn't be second best he took four of the Habs' five penalties. It wasn't that the Wings let up In this one.

They skated, they had chances, but Plante wouldnt let them get a foot in the door. Tremblay opened the scoring at 17:52 of the first period with Young serving his second penalty of the period. It was a A half hour later, plus a few thousand ad libbed words, the beady red eyes of the TV cameras were hooded. There was a universal of relief from the bodies. There also was a burst of comment about one of the points discussed on the show that went into living rooms of all true believers.

One They Dreamed Up A CHUNK OF FILM STARTED IT. It spun off a play in which quarterback John Brody of the 49ers flipped a pass from his own end zone. It was completed for a strong gain. But on the play officials blew the whistle on a 49er lineman who was detected holding in his end zone. The play was called back and the opposing team, Baltimore, was handed two points on the call of "safety." The four ex-Lions were aghast.

"It can't be on the books," insisted Middleton. "I never heard of it," claimed Thomas. "Ridiculous," snorted Hart. "They dreamed it up," said Mains, with some indignation. The four former players had a combined total of almost 25 years of pro football behind them, not to mention collegiate and high school action.

To a man, they pleaded ignorance of such a penalty. "I've always felt that football was one sport where points never were awarded a defensive team on an infraction of the rules," insisted Middleton. "Or an offensive team either." 'The Great Debate9 Goes On REMEMBERED that a similar penalty had been called earlier in the NFL season. Dallas had the ball on its own two-yard line. Eddie LeBaron dropped back into his end zone.

He threw a pass. It was caught and went all the way for a 98-yard touchdown. But after officials had called a holding penalty on Dallas back in its end zone, the touchdown was canceled "fc H-H-S BUDGET Both Register 68s In Argentine Golf SAN ISIDRO, Argentina- Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead each shot a 68 Thursday and gave the United BUYS sentence for cross-checking Jean Beliveau in the Detroit crease while the Habs swarmed around States the first round lead in the 1962 Canada Cup matches at 136. fri goalie Terry Sawchuk.

How can they reverse it in another case like the one we're talking about?" The debate continued, with gestures. It was good, strong and provocative.
