Southern California's fabled 0. J. Simpson scampered for three touchdowns to lead the Trojans to a come-from-behind 24-7 victory over Notre Dame before 59,075 unbelieving fans. Superb defense highlighted the play of each team until Simpson the speedster they call "Orange Juice" put on a take-charge show to lift the Trojans into command and give them their fifth consecutive victory.

In all, the Irish had seven passes intercepted (four by Adrian Young), lost two fumbles and aided the Trojan cause with sickly punting. Southern Cal.t ending a 10-game losing streak in the' Notre Dame arena dating to 1939, solidified its position as the No. 1 team in the country. THE TROJANS, making Terry Hanratty's passes as effective a weapon as Simpson's powerful and dazzling running, wiped out a 7-0 halftime deficit with a 17-point third quarter and blunted the Notre Dame attack throughout with their surprisingly stiff defense. The Irish had their S.S.

(Stop Simpson) troops working for a half, but Orenthal James, the Trojan Horse, broke loose thereafter, carrying 38 times for 150 yards and his three touchdowns. The Irish stopped Simpson three times on third or fourth down plays in the first quarter, but didn't get USC territory themselves until the final minute of the period When they did, Young stopped them with his first interception. Play opened up in the second quarter and the ball went back and forth so often it looked more like a table tennis game. The ball changed hands eight times on interceptions (three on each side) and fumbles. The Irish got the best of these exchanges as Jim Smithberger picked off Steve Sogge's pass and returned 16 yards to the Trojan three, from where Hanratty legged it into the end zone.

It was to their lone score of the long afternoon, for Simpson and the USC interceptor squadron were just getting warmed up. NOTRE DAME first gave the Trojans an opening when Chuck Landolfi fumbled the second-half kickoff, which Steve Swanson recovered at the Irish 18. Simpson carried six times in seven plays and dove over from the one to tie the score. The Trojans' double-teaming of end Jim Seymour paid off a little later as Bill Jaroncyk intercepted at the Irish 42. 0.

Spartans Crush Michigan, 34-0 QB Raye Has Hand In 4 TDs Jim Passes for 2, Runs for 2 More Four plays later Rocky Bleier got off a punt that went all of 13 yards, putting the Trojans in business at the Irish 41. This was converted into three more points as Rikki Aldridge booted a 22-yard field goal to make it 17-7.

The Irish cheering section defiantly continued to shout "We're No. 1," but the only thing they were No. 1 in was having passes intercepted. MIKE BATTLE picked off another Hanratty heave as the fourth quarter opened and legged it 36 yards to the Notre Dame 17. This time Simpson sprinted three yards around left end for another Trojan tally.

Notre Dame obviously was done, but the ballhawking Trojans weren't. Hanratty went to the sidelines with a mild concussion, but his successor, Coley O'Brien, had no better luck. He yielded two more interceptions (including Young's fourth) and Simpson padded his nation's rushing leadership to 752 yards before it was over. It was only the third victory in 17 tries here for Southern Cal, but this one was a sweet one for the top-rated Trojans as sweet as orange juice. USC 13 3ie 5 7S 5-18-3 7-3 I 72 17 7 I N.D.

Scoring three touchdowns in the last 21i minutes of the second quarter, the Spartans buried Michigan, 34-0, for their big-gest margin ever in the 69-year history of the backyard series. Michigan drew a roar and a laugh from the huge sellout crowd of 103,210 when U-M students paraded in the stolen fiberglas head of the MSU mascot, Sparty, painted in Wolverine maize and blue. BUT THAT was the only laugh the Michigan fans had the rest of the afternoon, which quickly turned into a nightmare for them and a delight for MSU. Spartan quarterback Jimmy Raye clicked on both his passing and running for the first time this fall, sneaking for two touchdowns, gaining 77 yards in 10 carries on the ground to pace the MSU ball carriers, and passing for two touchdowns.

Rave hit Al Brenner with a 65-yard bomb with 3:30 to play in the half then he connected with Frank Foreman for eight yards after MSU defensive back Sterling Armstrong intercepted on the first play following the kickoff and ran it back 34 yards to the U-M eight. Raye passed and ran for 207 yards before retiring in the third quarter. Raye's counterpart, U-M senior Dick Vidmer, was thrown for 29 yards in losses, completed only five of 15 passes for 40 yards and was lifted at the! half. i AND SO STATE rolled to its! 16th straight Big Ten Old akes MSU Look Like New RayeM mi test. "He wasn't as indecisive as he might have been earlier this season.

He was the Jimmy Raye of old." "We're far from a great team now, but we're getting better," Daugherty evaluated. "If we can improve in the next week as much as we did in the past week and then keep going, we could be a pretty good team before the year is over." AND THE 103,210 fans in Michigan Stadium who watched Saturday's destruction could add an emphatic: No joke. "It was probably the best day I've ever had in college football," said the soft-spoken Raye. "There was a big difference out there today, I just hadn't been playing worth a darn but today I knew what to do and the fellows gave me some real good blocks." "The better the running goes, the better the passing goes," he said. And, as he did so often last year, Raye showed how he could do both.

He ran for 77 yards and two touchdowns and passed for 130 more yards and two more touchdowns. THE SPARTANS did little that surprised Michigan coach Bump Elliott, but. as Elliott so aptly put it: "They did what they did well." "You can't make any mistakes against a team playing like that," Elliott said. SCORING: ND Hanratty 3 run, (Azzaro kick). USC Simpson 1 run, (Aldrid9e kick).

The Spartans, just like Raye, came into Saturday's game a little shaky after two defeats and only one victory, that over the weakest team in the conference. But when they left Michigan Stadium with a resounding 34-0 win over arch-rival Michigan, they were again the unstoppable Spartans of the past two years. "Jimmy Raye had his best day of the year," said coach Duffy Daugherty as he held court after the con- Wings Routed By Montreal Special to the Free Press MONTREAL The Detroit Red Wings, looking for their first victory of the National Hockey League season, ran into Yvon Cournoyer and his hotshooting Montreal Canadien teammates Saturday night and wound up with their first defeat instead by a 6-2 score. one short of the conference record set by Ohio State in 1954-56. MSU and U-M were tied for second best with 15 in a row.

The smashing victory put MSU at 2-2 for the season and The Spartans stopped Michigan quarterback Dick Vidmer cold in the passing game. The only one they couldn't stop was junior Ron Johnson. Johnson picked up 107 yards rushing, hut was never able to break away as he had against Xavy three times a week earlier. The hard-running Johnson was moved to tail-bark on (he "1" instead of running from his normal half-hack HK)t. "Nobody ever will shut off Johnson." said Daugherty.

Tex. Rob Layne, son of a Texas grid-i iron hero of the past who never lost to Oklahoma, kicked a field goal Saturday to bring Texas a come-from-behind 9-7 victory over Oklahoma in the 61st game between the i two intersectional rivals.

Rob, whose father is Bobby Layne, a Texas great who became a star in pro football with the Detroit Lions, booted the field goal from the Oklahoma 25 early in the third period. Then Bill Bradley, finally living up to his super tag, led the Longhorns on an 84-yard surge in 10 plays for the touchdown that sevve'd it up and marked one of the great comebacks of football history.
