Air game significant
NEW YORK—(UP')—The major difference between Notre Dame and Michigan State appears to be a passing one.
When the nation's two topranked teams clash at East Lansing, Mich., on Saturday, with the national championship possibly at stake, Notre Dame will boast a more deadly air game than the ground-oriented Spartans.
Official statistics released Tuesday by the NCAA Service Bureau show Notre Dame ranks 16th in the country in passing offense while Michigan State is 61st. The difference is even more noticeable on pass defense, where the Irish rate 18th and the Spartans are 105th.
Notre Dame has allowed only one touchdown toss all season and a mere 4.2 yards per pass attempt.
Yet, even these figures can be deceiving for in the last four games Michigan State has completed more passes for more yards and more TDs with fewer interceptions than have the Irish.
Notre Dame leads all major colleges in scoring offense with an average of 37.6 points per game and also is No.1 in scoring defense, having permitted only 3.5 points per game. The Irish, with five shutouts in eight games, can become the first major school since UCLA in 1954 to lead the country in both scoring offense and defense.

HE OFFERED two reasons why he thinks KU cannot stop its opponents.
"We play like the devil for the two downs, and perhaps, we cannot keep up the pace after that. Or, we play pretty good, but for some reason or another, we just fail and cannot be consistent."
Mitchell said he wasn't sure if KU has played well enough or just lets up.
"That's the problem, we don't perform in the critical situation," he said.
"If we knew the answer, we probably wouldn't be where we are now. It leaves frustration with the coaches and squad."
AT PRESENT, KU is tied with Kansas State for last place in the Big Eight with a record of five losses and one tie. Overall, the Jayhawks have won two, lost six, and tied one.
Looking ahead to Saturday's game against Missouri, Mitchell said the Tigers are a strong defensive football team, probably as strong as Nebraska and Colorado.
"On offense, they have good speed in the backfield but really haven't been too effective through
Mitchell praised the play of middle guard Bill Wohlford and second string quarterback Bob Douglass.

Mitchell said he was highly pleased with the El Dorado sophomore. He replaced injured Bill Fenton midway in the third quarter and completed 10 of 15 passes for 106 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown pass to Junior Riggins.
"HE THREW the ball quickly," Mitchell said, "and looked in the right direction."
LONDON — (UPI)— The Daily Express reports that Percy Allen, 73, was positive he would fail his driving test because his gray hair made him look every day of his age. Percy dyed his hair with cold tea and sun tan lotion and passed the test with flying colors, the Express said. Percy said he looked much younger but the unusual dye formula made his hat stick to his head.
