Coach Biggie Munn went into the season opener at Ann Arbor with only two starters back on the offensive line-up and a new defensive unit. Picking up where they left oil last year, State's foot- ball warriors spotted a Hred-up Michigan crew 13 points and then rallied to score the most points a MSC squad has ever tallied against the Wolverines to win easily, 27-13. The win was State's third straight triumph over arch- rival Michigan. After Michigan's upset-happy crew jumped to an unexpected 13-0 lead, Capt. Don McAuliffe electrified the capacity crowd of 97,239 by taking off around right end on a 70-yard touchdown sprint that put the Spartans on the road to their 16th straight victory. Quarterback Tom Yewcic, playing in his first starting assignment, paced State to its tying touchdown by connecting with Duckett on a 40-yard pass. Bolden went over for the TD. Billy Wells, the team's leading ground gainer, scored next to put the Spartans ahead. Yewcic's accurate pass- ing arm gave MSC its last marker of the afternoon with Bolden on the receiving end. tn ,,:,,'jj ' - ,gf 'gg 3 ,f -y 2 :WTS -Q, f'-+1':e1'f1e iivu 'ld,Q ' ft ' fa- fe- il af 3- -ff - -,,-, aaa: . af ear I -1, 1.8 ' Q f', Z ff ff?
