Michigan State-Irish Clash

Georgia Holds
Fuvored Miami
To TT Deadlock
BY the Associated Press

college song starts out Shame,
Shame on Old Notre Daniel"
And Notre Danes nom Hiber-
nian Irish" could have been
hearing that as they went into
today's game with Michigan
State--a big one that has been
turned into just another game
by Notre Danes failure to win
two Of its earlier contests.
Conceivably, the Irish could
transfer the shame to Michigan
States Spartans by the upset
route, but that was hardly to be
expected. Notre Dame, starting
with a green team and plagued
by an amazing series of injuries,
has been forced to rely largely
on sophomores while playing as
tough a schedule as any college
team takes on. Quarterback
Paul Hornung still is dangerous,
but he hasn't been able to
shoulder the burden alone.
The result has been defeats by
Southern Methodist and Purdue
and bare victory over the same
Indiana squad that Michigan
State walloped 53-6. States
Spartans have rolled up three
straight victories and are rated
second only to Oklahoma in the
Associated Press poll of sports
writers and broadcasters.
Georgia Ties Miami
Georgia surprised by holding
heavily favored Miami to a TT
tie last night in a game that
got the weekend competition
underway.
The Bulldogs stunned 1882
in the Orange Bowl by scoring
"a first-period touchdown on
Jefferson Davis 58-yard return
of a punt. 1t wasn't until late
in the last quarter that the Hur-
ricanes were able to tie the score
after an 84-yard drive. Georgia
put up a magnificent goal line
stand after Miami got a first
down on the one, but fullback
Bill Sandie finally went over on
fourth down.
In other games last night
George Washington walloped
Virginia Military, 40-14; Denver
drubbed Colorado College, 40-21,
and Wofford nipped The Citadel,
1918. with nine points in the
last quarter.
When Michigan State VS..
Notre Dame failed to develop
into as big a national attrac-
ton as expected today's college
schedule was left without a
single game that stood out above
Iall the others. There were plenty
Iof highly interesting contests on
