They couldn't even produce a temporary winner. The two neighborhood rivals struggled to a 7-7 tie, the fifth standoff in the years of their 56 games stretching back to 1898. About all this settled was to show that State doesn't necessarily beat U-M every recent history to the contrary. Putting this deadlock alongside the 12-12 tie achieved in 1958 leaves the Wolverines unbowed at the sight of MSU twice in the last eight seasons.

All the other games in that stretch have been Spartan triumphs. Despite the lack of a decision, the afternoon did alternate some moments of excitement with those of deadly, defense-dominated calm for the 101,450 patrons lured into the 60-degree sunshine. The full house was the 16th straight for the series. Michigan scored in the first period with Bob Chandler throwing 15 yards to end John Henderson at the close of a 42-yard thrust.

DICK TRIPP and VINCE WITEK MAGIC MOMENT for Michigan came on this strike. It was the Wolverines' first score on MSU in three years. Bob Chandler fires the pass to end John Henderson as Spartan Dick Gordon closes in. The first- period play covered 15 yards. At right, Henderson crashes into the end zone with Gordon hanging on and Lou Bobich (Xo.

ROYAL DOES IT AGAIN, 28-7 State matched that with an 84-yard march in the third quarter that was likewise climaxed by a touchdown pass Steve Juday's seven-yard flip to Sherman Lewis. State's refugee from soccer, Lou Bobich, side-footed a 32-yard attempt wide to the left, and Michigan's Bob Timber-lake was short and wide on a 43-yard try. Later, both missed last-period field goals.

The Texas line, dominant throughout, brought about the Longhorns' third-period touchdown. Tackle Scott Ap-pleton hammered the ball loose from Oklahoma quarterback Bobby Page, then recovered at the Sooners' 18. The score came shortly on a swing pass from Carlisle Thay were balked on one drive to the Oklahoma two-yard line, but moments later, they were back with the clinching touchdown. AN 18-YARD punt return and a personal foul against Oklahoma set Texas on the Sooners' 22. Three plays later Tommy Ford cracked left tackle at the 12 and whizzed to the end zone.

Tony Crosby, a shoeless By GEORGE PUSCAS Free Press Staff Writer DALLAS Texas, mighty Texas, rode tall in the saddle again here Saturday, as its Longhorns let out a whoop and cry for college football's national championship. In a stunning show, of gridiron muscle and precision, Texas smashed Oklahoma, 28-7, before a jammed throng of 75,504 sitting in the carnival atmosphere of the Cotton Bowl.

Indiana at 3fSU an impromptu boxing match between the fullbacks MSU's Roger Lopes and Michigan's Mel Anthony that followed the football portion of the day to no decision. Nobody got hit with anything damaging, and both were banished while officials allowed an unused half minute to blink off the clock.

The no-decision label can even be applied to the two teams concerning the Big Ten race. They start exactly in the middle with the tie counting half a victory and half a defeat, and nobody really knows if they will be heavyweights or flyweights in the reckonings of November.

1 team as Oklahoma was rated coming into this annual Southwest classic meet its end as convincingly as did the Sooners here in searing 90-degree weather. TEXAS BATTERED 'em, churned through them, overwhelmed them from the opening kickoff. Sure as shootin', they'll be No. 1 in the new polls, and it will take some doing to unseat them. A heady young quarterback, a fine blocking line, were what the Longhorns used to steam to their fourth straight success in a flawless campaign.

Duke Carlisle masterminded and gave legs to a Texas offense which stunned the Sooners with single touchdowns in every period, left Oklahoma soundly beaten before the first half was done. Oklahoma never was in it. Carlisle, operating brilliantly on rollouts from his quarterback post, baffled the Sooners with clever fakery on a wide assortment of pass-run option plays. They never did solve him. He took Texas on a 69-yard scoring march right from the opening kickoff, and from the moment of his two-yard burst through tackle into the end zone, there was little doubt of the eventual SIX TIMES in that long advance, Carlisle himself did the running, drawing open the Oklahoma defense, then darting through holes battered wide by his line.

It was a pattern he was to follow throughout the game; it was the scheme which wrecked Oklahoma, So overwhelmed were the Sooners that it was midway through the third period, after Texas already was secure ith a 21-0 lead, that they managed to cross mid-field under their own power. "They beat us very badly in every point of the game," said a forlorn Bud Wilkinson, the Oklahoma coach who had hoped this, might, be the Sooners year as the college" game's foremost power. If Carlisle had put the handwriting on the wall with his opening touchdown the Texans branded their victory into the turf in hte second period.

They made John Idzik a Kentucky Colonel before the game here Saturday night, but then didn't give the University of Detroit coach the troops to go with the rank. Kentucky scoring in all but the final period, hit with the power and speed of a half dozen mint juleps on' a warm day and walloped the Titans, 35-18. TJ-D never gave up the Titans stopped Kentucky twice in the fourth quarter, the first time when the Southeastern Conference club had a first down on the three and the second time by intercepting on the two with one minute left. But the Titans didn't have the horses for this course.

U-D couldn't make third-down plays and the Wildcats, when they needed them, did. Also, U-D couldn't match Kentucky's speed. The Wildcats gave up the ball on an interception the first time they had it, but scored three of the next four times on an 82-yard run by Bob Kosid, a three-yard smash by Ken Bocard and 72-yard pass play from Ric Norton to Darrell Cox. U-D COULDN'T even win when it scored. Tom Zientek, who hit on only nine of 21 passes all night, hitting sophomore Tom Siedlaczek in the corner of the end zone for the touchdown.

It cut the Kentucky lead to 14-6, but Siedlaczek went out with a knee injury and played no more the second Titan flanker to go out with a knee injury on a TD pass. The other was George Wal-kosky, Siedlaczek's prede-t cessor, who still is out. Kentucky pumped the score Turn to Page 4D, Column 5 ered only seven yards.
