SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1963 LEWIS PUTS MSU IN BIG 10 LEAD, 15-7 mar tans ins JL Migh ty Mite jpw'c 9 1 sv -rt rD i Lj i I The Spartans, their coaches agreeable or not, must listen to talk of Rose Bowl versions over the Red Cedar. They are tied for first place in the Big Ten with Ohio State and undefeated Illinois on 2-0-1 conference records for all. For Northwestern, the confusion is unhappy. Touted as pre-eeason Big Ten favorites along with Wisconsin, the Wildcats are now out of it with a loss and a tie within the league and November still ahead.

The 'Cats really have nowhere to go except to Michigan next Saturday along the way to playing out the string on the road. MSU is home next Saturday against- Wisconsin, still menacing and only a step away from the Big Ten top, though ineligible to return to the Rose Bowl. But after his Saturday show, you almost have to think the Spartans will be aH right as long as Lewis is healthy. He slashed through Northwestern for almost two yards far every pound of his 5-foot-8 frame. The senior co-eaptain from Louisville had 104 yards on eight rushing carries, 74 yards on four pass grabs and 103 yards on four punt returns.

That adds up to 281 yards. Add the work Michigan State's pressuring rush on Northwestern's great passer, Tom Myers, add the passes that Myers' would-be receivers dropped, add a 47-yard field goal -by Ear! Lattimer, and that's the story. FOR THK RECORD, Northwestern had a RV BOB PILLK Free Press Staff Writer EVANSTON, 111. Michigan State turned loose a "Sherman" tank against Northwestern Saturday. The human tank was 152-pound senior halfback Sherman Lewis, who made a diving catch of a pass for a touchdown, ran 87 yards to a touchdown, ran back a punt 84 yards almost to a touchdown, played defense, intercepted passes.

Sherman Lewis did everything. And when he was done the Spartans a shocking 15-7 upset victory over Northwestern. In the wake of. the brilliant one-man show for the saddened 51,013 homecoming house, there remained assorted degrees of confusion. It was a happy sort of confusion for Michigan State.

7-0 lead when Lewis took over the proceeding? midway in the second period. The Spartans were pinned at their own 23 needing 12 yards on their third down when a swing pass by Steve Juday for 17 yards got State moving. On the next play, after handing to Dewey Lincoln and getting the ball back in the sort of razzle dazzle a coach with a five-year contract can use, Juday passed 31 yards to end Tom Krzemienski at the Northwestern 29. From there, Juday merely lofted the ball toward a corner of the end rone and left it to Lewis to get there. Sherman did, along with two Norhwcstern defenders, and when they batted the pass away.

It was the only score of the day and it enabled them to keep the Jug for the fourth straight year. The Gophers could consider themselves lucky in more ways than one. Because after Pelletier's tally, Michigan controlled most of the play and it was hard to understand how the Wolverines didn't score. The Wolverines reached Minnesota's seven yard line twice, and got to the 17 another time.

Each time the Maize and Blue were frustrated. Early in the game, Bob Timberlake missed a field from the 15 that looked good to everyone in the stadium except the officials. Later, Timberlake fumbled away a scoring chance on the and after that one of his fourth-down passes missed by the margin of three inches of giving Michigan a first down on the Gopher 17. WITH FOUR straight losses to Minnesota, Bump Elliott knows how Ralph Houk BY JOE FALLS Free Press Staff Writer MINNEAPOLIS Golly, what must Bronko Nagurski, Leo Nomellini and Clayton Tonnemaker be thinking? It used to be that when Minnesota prevailed in these Little Brown Jug battles, it was on brute strength. But now look at these "massive men of Minnesota." They're beating Michigan with 152-pound halfbacks.

You could almost hear Bernie Bierman, ye olde Gopher coach, groan from his seat in the press box. It was all so gentlemanly. Minnesota heat Michigan, fi-0, Saturday, and the Gophers did it on a touchdown by little Jerry Telletier, a water hoy-sized runner who stands only and, just after a shower, weighs 152 pounds. My. my.

Everything seemed to against the Wolverines on this surprisingly pleasant afternoon up In the north country. Once they played with only 10 men on the field. Another time the officials "gained" two yards for Minnesota. And what hurts most of all is that the Wolverines are now down in ninth place in the Big Ten. About all they can do is offer up a silent prayer for the presence of Indiana the only team below them in the standings.

KVEKY DOfi has his day. Thi pooch's fling; camp, to nn abrupt end after delaying the Mart of thf University of fassachusetts-Boston I'ni-xersity game Saturday. Field judse Chuck Toomey was rrpdited with the assist. Stanford Knocks Off Irish, 24-14 STANFORD, Calif. Steve Thurlow, a 200-pound halfback who throws well and runs better, smashed for two touchdowns and passed for a third Saturday to spearhead Stanford to a 24-14 victory over Notre Dame in one of the year's highest college football upsets.

As a nationwide television audience and a Stanford stadium crowd of fio.OOn watched, the Indians broke a four-game losing streak at the expense of the two touchdown favorite Irish. A SENIOR converted from quarterback to halfback this year, Thurlow scored twice on five-yard runs. On a fourth-quarter, fourth-down gamble, he passed seven yards to halfback Ray Ilandley in the end zone. Braden Beck, a left-footed hooter, kicked all three conversions, plus a 30-yard field goal in Stanford's first victory ever over the Irish. The Indians lost to the Four Horsemen in the 1925 Rose Rowl and were defeated at South Bend in 1942.

NOTRE DAME led, H-10, at the half Saturday, and much of the credit for that lead must was on the two and he. oidered a field-goal try by Bob Rice. The angled kick from the nine-yard line was just wide to the left. "IF I HAD KNOWN the ball was on the one," naid Idzik. "we would've gone for it." Still trailing.

14-6. Dayton took over on its 20 and. led by relief quarterback Gary Hussion's passing, drove to the Titan eight. Hussion went to the ground then, gaining seven yards fullback Jim 0ermn for thp touchdown. Dayton, which had lo.t its last two games by one point because of missed conversions, made it this time for the 13.200 homecoming fans with Hussion hitting rnd Tom in the end zone for the tie.

The Titan football team was one yard away from almost certain victory--only its second this year and third in two seasons with a fourth down on the Dayton one-yard line with 5:15 to go. But players coming off the field mistakenly told Titan coach John Idzik that the ball himself and handing off to TARIS Jack Nicklaus closed on a wave of b.rdies Saturday for a six-under-par 66, which sent the United states into a tie with Spain for the lead after three rounds of the 11th annual Carudi Cup international golf matches.

LET'S TALK about Minnesota's touchdown, since it was the only one of the game. Actually, it's the only thing to write home about. It came' at 3:06 of the second quarter, with Pelletier taking a handoff from quarterback Larry Peterson and running over left tackle with hardly a Michigan player touching him. What led up to It was just as Interesting, the only highlight, really, for the homecoming crowd of 62,107. Carl Eller you've lieard of him; he's Minnesota's terrific tackle, an All American candidate if you ever saw one well, he set it up.

He lowered the boom on Clancy, Jack by name, on a punt late in the first quarter and, oops, the ball squirted from Clancy's grasp like an overripe plum. This happened on Michigan's 15.
