...special to stop the versatile multiple offense (TIME, Oct. 8) of Coach Duffy Daugherty's Michigan State powerhouse. Almost as if they had never heard of mousetrap blocks, Michigan's linemen wore themselves out firing into the State backfield. Ends slashed hard and fast at the ball carrier, linebackers gambled and charged headlong into offensive holes. For half the game the tactic worked. Until they put on one sustained 45-yd. drive late in the second quarter, the Spartans gained a total of only six yards on the ground. They did not come close to scoring. But Michigan...
...autumn Saturdays, when the chips are down, the Spartans play a game as intricate and demanding as any yet devised. Where other teams are satisfied to practice and perfect a single style of attack-the single wing, which piles blockers into a bludgeoning phalanx ahead of the ball carrier; the T formation, with its quick-opening plays and tricky hand-off s; the split-T, which spreads the defense for exasperating option plays-Michigan State uses all three and adds even more.

Needed: a Dock. To get the carrier contract. Wolfson underbid Newport News Shipbuilding, which has built two of the ships, thus acquired experience which enabled it to bid about 6% lower on the second job than on the first. It is, moreover, traditionally the industry's shrewdest bidder. Nevertheless, Wolfson underbid Newport News by $6,000,000-$7,000,000. At that price, experts estimate, Wolfson will lose money. In addition, Wolfson's firm must now invest an estimated $8 million to $10 million in a graving dock just to begin building the sea giant...

A good ball carrier and scorer, he especially excels on defense. Thompson, on the other hand, is small, weighing only 165. A good ball handler and fairly good passer, he also makes an excellent field general...
