That's all it'll take two more victories (and a little help from the fok3 over in Ann Arbor) to send Michigan State to. the Rose Bowl. The Spartans stayed on top of the Big Ten race Saturday with a powerful, pro-type performance that would have warmed the heart of even Vince Lom-bardi. ROLLING UP 394 yards from scrimmage, they next, and as even Clarence Munn can tell you, Purdue is tough.

If the Spartans get by Purdue, they'll have a "breather" against Notre Dame (now, Duff, we're only kidding), then close with Illinois.

And Michigan State must depend on him from here on in. Juday is through for the season and Proebstle will call the shots in Michigan State's final three games.

It won't be an easy assignment. Purdue is hard way with their No. 1 quarterback, Steve Ju-day, watching from the sidelines with a shoulder separation. The kid from Northville was hurt in the second quarter with State behind by a 7-6 margin. Dick Proebstle, who'd played about as much as the equipment manager in the first five games, came off the bench and did a sound soundly whipped Wisconsin, 30-13, before a happy Homecoming Day crowd of 71,033 in Spartan Stadium.

It certainly pleased Daugherty, and why didn't they give old Duff a lifetime contract instead of one for merely five years? Duffy's demons played their finest game of the season on this overcast afternoon. They won the job of directing the Spartans. PROEBSTLE didn't dazzle anyone he never has but he played with a poise that i3 uncommon among bench warmers.

But when the firing was over it was Brandt and the Badgers and Myers and his Wildcats who were thoroughly tamed.

Bob Timberlake, the newly healthful quarterback who had been planned for the job all along, connected on three touchdown passes. TO TROVE this was the right day, the other touchdown came on the interception of an errant Northwestern throw by a player who wasn't supposed to be in the game. It was the sort of afternoon that the frustrated Wolverines needed badly. It was also an afternoon that completed the destruction of the Northwestern team which had been a championship favorite at the season's start. The victory was Michigan's first of the autumn in the Big Ten, and the points were the most for the Wolverines within the conference since the 38-6 score rolled up at then-lowly Illinois in 1961.

THE WOLVERINES got quarterbacking, they got pass catching and they got defense to the delight of the 51,088 homecoming faithful lured into the 45-degree sunshine. Timberlake, the 6-foot-4, 211-pound junior, finally displayed the excellence awaited from the day he stepped on -campus. He pulled In Northwestern defenses with his running and then riddled them for 196 yards and dozen completions in 20 attempts. His touchdown strikes went 3 yards to Jack Clancy, 24 Next Salurdav Mich, at Illinois yards to John Henderson and 33 yards to Jim Conley. HENDERSON ALSO returned an intercepted pass 23 yards to a touchdown, and that was the lucky one.

He's an offensive specialist who was caught in the game on defense. And Bump Elliott is one coach who won't be cursing the substitution rules for a day or two. Defensively, Michigan allowed Northwestern' brilliant Tom Myers his passing yards 127 of them to add to the first in the nation 1,138 he took into the game. But the Wolverines didn't allow Myers any touchdowns. Northwestern did score through the air on second-stringer Dave Milam's four-yard flip to third-string end Dave Cyranoski.
