Spartans' No. quarterback
finally scored the tying touch
down on a sneak from less thar
a yard out, but the big gains or
the drive were made by the ubi-
quitous Mendyk and big Ko-
walczyk, who had been bothered
by a bad ankle and hasn't beer
up to the form he showed in the
Rose Bowl last January.
Peaks GaIlOp Nullified
Michigan State, looking better
each minute, lost a touchdown
late in the second quarter when
Peaks brilliant 93-yard run was
nullified by a clipping penalty
after the big Negro back had
made a great interception that
killed of a Notre Dame drive
Despite the penalty, which put
the ball on the Michigan State
80, the Spartans pounded down
to the Irish 2 where Jim Ninow-
ski, their No. 2 quarterback, failec

Spartans Take Charge
At this point, the sun gave ur
a losing battle after an overcast
drizzly morning, and the day got
gloomier and gloomier for the
Irish and their loyal supporters
Brennan's youngsters never
stopped trying until the final
whistle. but they didn't have
either the speed or the know
how to halt the awesome offense
of the Spartans.
Hornung, the Irish standout
in nearly every department,
couldn't do it all by himself and,
while young Bronko Nagurski,
Eddie Sullivan and others in the
Irish line were playing their
hearts out, the Notre Damers
just weren't in Michigan States
class.
Daugherty trotted out some
new backs when his team went
in front and a couple OF sopho-
mores, Art johnson, a fleet Ne
gro from Flint. Mich, and Don
Arend. a substitute fullback
from Baroda, Mich, quickly
made their presence felt. Both
played prominent parts in an
S2-yard drive for the Spartans'
third touchdown, which was
scored by Gilbert on a 3-yard
buck. A 33-yard pass from Min
owski to Larry Harding was the
big gamer on this drive.
Panitch Gets Loose
That ended the scoring for the
third quarter. although the
Spartans. anxious to even old
scores with the Irish. were only
2 yards away from their fourth
touchdown when the period
ended. Peaks shot over for the
score on the rst play Of the final
quarter. This score, which ended
a 67-yard march. was set up
by Mike Panitch. the No. 3 quar-
terback. who dashed 40 yards on
a keep" play. He would have
gone all the way but for a saving
tackle by little Jim Milota. one
Of Brennan's senior backs.
The irish. beaten but still try
ing. got into the scoring act
briefly in the final quarter. A
long pass from Hornung to Reyn-
olds. who made q leaping
catch. was good for 50 yards and
put the bail on the Spartans' IS.
Al this point. Hornung made
good use OF sheuill Sipes, one
