Michigan State fullback Roger Lopes starts on an end sweep but is pursued and stopped after a one yard gain by Stanfordis C. B. Simons U12 and Hal Steuber Q76j. STANFORD 3 - MICHIGAN STATE 31 Venturing into the Midwest, the Cards battled Michigan State on almost even terms for three quarters before finally suc- cumbing to the superior depth of their hosts. The Spartans, one of the nation,s most powerful teams, could manage only a single touchdown in the first half and Lindskog cut this lead to four points with a 40-yard field goal in the third quarter. It was not until the final quarter that the Spartans pulled away from the tiring Stan- ford regulars. The loss was a costly one in that both Royse and Steuber suffered major injuries.
