So, since they couldn't secure their lead in that manner, they found a suitable method of compensating for that glaring inadequacy. They kept scoring touchdowns. Soven of the six-pointers finally tied the ballgame down and the Wolverines won their second straight for Bo Schembcchler by romping past the Washington Huskies, 45-7.

It'MOK QUARTERBACK Don Moorhead and sophomore ninning back Glenn Doughty led the Wolverines to victory. Moorhead three touchdowns and passed for another while Doughty scored once and piled up 191 yards in carries. 'Hie Wolverines piled up a grand total offense of 5S1 yards 50 yards better than the old team record which was set against Ohio State in 1943. A Stadium crowd of 49,1181 farm plus a regional television audience watched the Wolverines overpower the big strong Huskies, who were siipjwsed to be a serious test for the team. Schembcchler changed his tactics after the opening week's 42-14 win over Vander-bilt.

"Washington is a very tough inside team," Schembcchler said after the game. "We felt we had to go wide and throw the football." MOORHEAD couldn't have carried out the game plan better. He added 128 yards rushing to Doughty's 191 and he completed 14 of 19 passes for another 160 yards. And, when you're going that well, even the mistakes don't hurt you. The Wolverines had taken a 6-0 lead on a Moorhead-to-Jim Mandich touchdown pa.ss in the first quarter and had driven to the Washington five in the second quarter on Moorhead passes of 15 yards to Paul Sta-roba and 13 yards to Mandich.

then scored his first touchdown of the day on a broken play that left liiiu to face the Huskies completely alone. All 10 of his teammates on the offensive unit went to the left the way the play was supposed to go and Moorhead went to the right all by himself and scored the touch- "I don't know why I did it that way," down easily.

Spartans on series of big plays by some mavericks on the MSU defense. HIXSON', a 6-foot-2, junior with a rubber arm. hit 17 of 30 passes for 2-M yards and eclipsed Doak Walker's SMU record by running his total offense mark to 3,729 yards. But it was his lone interception that started the SMU' downfall in the fourth quarter.

The Mustangs had used two SMU fumbles to good advantage and carried a 13-7 lead into the final period. Then Chuckin' Charlie misfired. Harold Phillips stole a pass to set up a Gary Boyce field goal, Ron Joser.h pounced on two Mustang fumbles to spark the Spartans to a touchdown and another field goal, and disaster was averted. BY JACK S.WLOIt Free Press Sports Writer EAST LANSING Michigan State's football team, thia lovely autumn, is shaping up as a little bit good, a little bit shaky and a certain amount lucky. The Spartans combined the proper mixture of each here Saturday to pull out a 23-15 victory over Southern Methodist before 72.1S9 fans at Spartan Stadium.

MSU turned the game around with 1G points in the, final period to register its second straight victory and hand the luckless Mustangs their third straight defeat. It was the first game ever scheduled between the two schools and the Spartans really don't care if they see 'em again for quite a spell. They had to overcome a tremendous offensive show by SMU's Chuck Hixson, but pulled it off with a DKSPITK Hixson's figures, the Spartan defense, led by Wilt Martin and Don Law, performed admirably and deserves the major share of credit for the decision. The bulky, but nimble-footed Spartan forward line got to Hixson eight times in the game and the SMU quarterback had been thrown only 11 times all last season. "Our defense was sound," said coach Duffy Daugherty." But our offense needs a lotta work.

I'm not satisfied with our passing." Quarterback Bill Triplett, picking up 122 yards himself on veer-option keepers, directed the ground offensive to 302 yards. But for the second straight game his passing was spotty. He completed only six of 16 for a meager 37 yards. AS WAS the case against Washington a week ago, MSU struck fast but couldn't stand prosperity. Triplett scooted 64 yards to MSU's 15 the first time State got the ball and Don Highsmith barreled 15 yards for the touchdown.

But then the fumbles and staggers set in. A clipping penalty nit Erie Allen's 60-yard run in half and a TD was aborted. A Triplett fumble at the Mustang 21 stopped another threat and it was obvious the Spartans were destined to do it the hard way. Hixson put the Mustangs in passing gear, spreading his 17 completions among six receivers, and got SMU back in the game. His one-yard touchdown run ended a 68-yard drive early in the second quarter and cut the gap to 7-6.

MSU's Ralph Wielaba blocked the extra point try. A penalty saved a possible SMU touchdown later in the second quarter and the Spartans stumbled in the third period with their skimpy lead.

Attendance KV JACK BKRRY Free Press Sports Writer COLUMBUS Ohio State, once accused of treating non-league teams nonchalantly, crushed Texas Christian, 62-0, Saturday with as awesome an assortment of talent as you'll ever see on one college team. "It's the finest college football team ever assembled," said shell-shocked TCU coach Fred Taylor. "If they have the Incentive to play like this every week, no one will beat them." The defending national champions scored the first three times they had the ball and it wasn't any of that three yards and a cloud- fensive plays, the Spartans were stung for 10 points in a 15-secorid span in the period.

An SMU drive was stopped at the 31, but Bicky Lesser booted a 48-yard field goal for a 9-7 lend. Allen fumbled the kickoff return. Chipper Johnson recovered and on the first play Hixson unerringly hit Gordon Gilder with a 41-yard touchdown strike. "We had him covered with two men," Daugherty pointed out, "but that was a perfect pass." It was the 29th touchdown toss of Hixson's record-breaking career. Allen fumbled again, permitting the Mustangs to reach the Spartan 29, but when Lesser's field goal try wa3 wide, the breaks began to swing to Michigan State.

First, a blocked punt by Ron Curl. Whoops, no score as Boyce missed a field goal from the 36. Then Phillips stepped in front of Hixon's pass. This time Boyce connected from the 26 and it was 15-10. Joseph grabhed Hixon's bobble at the Spartan 36 and Triplett took the Spartans 64 yards to a touchdown in 10 plays.

He stayed on the ground all the way and Don Highsndth burst over from the five. A two-point conversion try failed, but Joseph was on the job to collect Daryl Doggett'S fumble at the SMU 22 and in six plays State tallied again, Triplett lobbing a five-yard toss in the zone to Bruce Kulesza. Boyce's kick gave MSU its eight-point edge, but Hixson made the Spartans sweat it out to the last minute, passing the Mustangs to the 11 before his last three frantic tries slipped through receivers' of-dusf stuff, either. For one thing, it poured rain starting in the second quarter. For another, Hayes' offense is considerably sophisticated.

IT WAS the biggest crowd in OSU history, surpassing the mob that sat in on the annihilation of Michigan in the Big Ten title game last fall, and the most points Woody has run up but not the biggest OSU score. The Bucks knocked off Virginia, 75-0, in their 1933 opener. And Woody, believe It or not, was apologetic for sending John Brockington over for a two-point conversion with the score 53-0 at 7:39 of the final quarter. "I'm sorry about that," the OSU coach said.

"But TCU went offside on the conversion attempt and we've, al? ways harped on our kids there's no excuse to go offside on the conversion that if someone did it against us we'd go in for the two points.

A stiff challenge by Chris Anion in the battle for the pole position only resulted in his car blowing an engine and being forced out of the race.

Well, why get excited? Anyone would have enjoyed coaching this game if they had Mike Phipps on their side. PHIPPS is the Purdue quarterback, a sure bet No. 1 draft choice and an early candidate for the Heisman Trophy award.
