...Notre Dame running play fail to gain. First it was Halfback Nick Eddy, spinning off tackle on the second play from scrimmage, racing 61 yds. for a TD?while Coach Parseghian matched him step for step, shouting "Go! Go! Go!" Then it was Fullback Joe Farrell, cracking the Spartan line on three straight plays for 15 yds. On the fourth play, he faked a line buck and zigzagged downfield to take a pass from Quarterback John Huarte. That put the ball on the Michigan State eight. Another Farrell fake, another Huarte pass?touchdown...

This all adds up to one full undergraduate course (to be given the year after next) entirely devoted to Indian...
Puzzled fans milled aimlessly about, begging for information. Heavyweight champions, like Spartan warriors, are supposed to leave the field of battle carrying their shields, or riding on them. But Sonny Liston-indestructible Sonny Liston-had quit without even standing up to say goodbye. Liston's corner had an explanation: Sonny had suffered a painful muscle tear in his left arm, swinging and missing in the first round -"an honest injury," it was called after a hospital examination. That was enough to satisfy the Miami Beach boxing commission, which released Liston's $250,000 purse-only to have...
