Michigan State Spartans Claim Title: Nation's Best

CHICAGO UPI — The prognosticators couldn't have been more wrong about the Big Ten football season. Michigan State, which figured to lose a couple, is heading into the Rose Bowl as Big Ten champion, conqueror of Notre Dame, and claimant to the title as best in the land. Pre - season favorite Purdue closed the season in a third place tie with Minnesota and possession of the Old Oaken Bucket.

Pre-season dark horse Iowa wound up in last place, with its poorest season in history, and coach Jerry Burns already handed his dismissal slip. The Hawke yes couldn't even win their finale for Burns, succumbing to North Carolina State, 28-20. Michigan State put aside first half fumbles and interceptions and went on to punch Notre Dame, 12-3. The statistics were far more convincing in the Spartans’ favor.

The running of John Kuzniewski and the passing of Bob Griese helped Purdue keep possession of the bucket from Indiana, 26-21. The Hoosiers’ season under new coach Johnny Pont wasnt't much better than the other mediocre ones of the past. Jim Grabowski of Illinois took the three-year conference rushing record from Wisconsin's Alan Ameche, who took it in 1953, aa Illinois beat Northwestern, 20-6. Grabowski has 2,108 yards for three years, and 998 for the season, also a conference record. Ohio State beat Michigan, 97, on Bob Funk's 28-yard field goal with 75 seconds left. Halfback Dick Peterson and quarterback John Hankinson led Minnesota over Wisconsin, 42-7, to give Badger coach Milt Bruhn one of his worst seasons.

Patterson and Clay Will Make Appearance Tonight

l.B.M. Women’s Thursday League November 11

LAS VEGAS. Nev. UPI — Moody Floyd Patterson embarks on another one of his patiently strange voyages tonight and it’s little pathetic listening to them all wish him well when he knows and they know there isn’t much chance of his dream boat ever comnig in. That isn’t to say Patterson will be running scared against the sometimes insufferable but always triumphant Cassius Clay. This time, anyway, Floyd isn’t frightened and wTiile that

should help his cause, it still doesn't figure to accomplish the

entire job.

Five years back. Patterson became the first heavyweight ever to win the title back by licking a man no one thought he could but not tonight, Josephine. ‘‘The only one who can beat Clay is Clay himself,” says his manager, Angelo Dundee, and that’s just about the size of it. Even should Clay get a little careless, he still isn't in any real great danger

UNBEATEN MSI ROLLS G\ LR NOTRE DAME- Big Ten champs and Rose Bowl bound Michigan State rolled over Notre Dame, 12 to 3. in a tremendous defensive battle before a sell-out crowd at South Bend, Ind. All-American candidate Clinton Jones (26) goes over for MSU s first TD as Eddie Cotton (441 makes the block. The Spartans remain number one in the nation and will probably meet UCLA in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day.

By William Verigan UPI Sports Writer Michigan State has wrapped up the national championship and the major bowls are nearly set, but some excitement is still in store this week as the college football season nears its last gasp. Promoters of the bowls who eagerly handed out bids to teams must now hope their choices don’t suffer last-minute setbacks. Third-ranked Nebraska, six-th-rated Alabama, Georgia Tech and Florida are bowlbound teams that meet traditional rivals capable of pulling off upsets. Nebraska, headed for the Orange Bowl, faces Oklahoma on Thanksgiving Day while Alabama, the other Orange Bowl team, engages Auburn. On Saturday, Georgia Tech, a Gator Bowl choice, tackles Georgia as Florida, picked by the Sugar Bowl, takes on Florida State. Tennessee, which has accepted a bid for the Bluebonnet Bowl, still has two games left against Vanderbilt and UCLA. The Rose Bowl must decide on either UCLA or Southern California as an opponent for Michigan State. Southern Cal, which lost to UCLA 20-16 last weekend, winds up on Saturday against Wyoming, a team with aspirations for a bid to some bowl. UCLA finishes against Tennessee on Dec. 4. UCLA is the clear-cut champion of the Pacific Eight Conference by winding up with a 4-0 conference record after its win over Southern Cal. But UCLA lost to Michigan State 13-3 in the season's opener and chances of an upset in the Rose iBowl are even slimmer. Both Southern Cal and UCLA have 7-1-1 records. The only other major bowl with an empty berth is the Bluebonnet, the Syracuse. Tulsa, Utah State, Auburn and Wyoming are the major contenders to fill the vacancy. Missouri is Florida's opponent in the Sugar Bowl, Louis-

iana State faces Arkansas In the Cotton Bowl, and Texas Tech meet Georgia Tech in the Gator Bowl. Michigan State overcame first-half mistakes with a rugged defense and a fast, powerful offense last Saturday to beat fourth-ranked Notre Dame 12-3. Thte Spartans gave up the ball twice on fumbles and once on a pass interception in the first half as Notre Dame grabbed a 3-0 lead on Ken Ivan's 32yard field goal. Track star Clint Jones, who led the Spartans’ attack, scored the first Michigan State touchdown on a three-yard run, and quarterback Steve Juday hit Dwight Lee wtih a 19-yard pass for the other. Michigan State rolled up 286 yards total offense while its stingy defense allowed the Irish only 12 yards. Second-ranked Arkansas, hoping for a Notre Dame victory and the national title, settled for the Cotton Bowl and Southwest Conference title with a 42-24 victory over Texas Tech, the No. 9 team. It was the 22nd consecutive victory for the Razorbacks, who own the nation’s longest current winning streak among major colleges.

Bainbridge Pointers Trounce Darlington Indians by 97-51 Score

The Pointers started their run-away early in the contest to emerge with an 8 point edge over the Indians at the end of the first quarter 22 to 14. In the second quarter the Pointers came back with more of the same.
