Michigan State Spartans played dead for three quarters yesterday, then sudden ly " awoke to scare the life out " of: North Carolina before bow-. icg out to a great effort by the entire Tar Heel team, 21-15. Facing a 21-0 Tar Heel lead, the Spartans moved for two quick touchdowns before Gary Black intercepted a Steve Juday pass with -36 seconds remain ing in the game to stop the final Spartan effort. Black, who broke two ribs in last week's game, was in the game only because Tommy Ward lost his contact lenses. . The victory was a great team effort by the Tar Heels, but super-sophomore Danny Talbott has to be singled out as the star. Talbott turned from goat to hero in one week as he scored two touchdowns on short sneaks and led the drive for the other one. Talbott, substituting for the injured Black, started poorly again by throwing his third in terception of the season on the first play from scrimmage. But from then on, Dandy Danny really showed his stuff. He scored twice on one and two-yard quarterback sneaks. and set up the third touchdown with fine runs on the bootleg play. For the game, Talbott rushed for 43 yards on 13 car ries, and completed 9 of 15 pas ses for 86 yards. However, Danny wasn't the whole story.' Although Charlie Migyanka slowed hkn down in the second half, big Ken Willard still picked up 62 yards rushing. When Migyanka began playing him man-to-man Ken effectively decoyed the Michigan State All American away from the play. Big Jim Harrington came in to the game when John Atherton was injured, and immediately made a great diving catch of a Talbott pass on a crucial third down play. Harrington caught three passes for 31 yards for the game. On defense, Chris Hanburger, Frank Gallagher, Ward, and Bo Wood led the charge that held the Spartans scoreless for three quarters. (Hanburger made eight tackles and four assist.) After Talbott's first pass of the afternoon was intercepted, it looked ' like another long miserable afternoon for the . Carolina faithful. But on fourth-and-one, the Tar Heel line,- led by Hanburger, stopped . Harry Amnion for no gain, and Caro lina took over. . . After the Tar Heels failed to move the ball for the first 12 minutes, Ron Tuthill returned a 45-yard Lou Bobich to the Carolina 31. And the Tar Heels were off! With Hank Barden gaining 15 yards the Tar Heels moved to two first downs. Then with third-and-four on the 49, Tal bott rolled out and fired a pass which a diving Harrington held onto. . i Willard gained 13 around right end, and Talbott bootlegged to the MSU 29 for another first down. Runs by Talbott and Wil lard gave the Tar Heels an other first down at the 6 as the first quarter ended. STATISTICS UNC M.

After Willard bullied his way to the two, Danny called a quar terback sneak and rode Chris Hanburger's blocking into the end zone. Dave Braine's . kick made it 7-0 and the Tar Heels held that lead until halftime. The first time the Tar Heels touched the ball in the second half, they marched 69 yards for another score. Passes by Tal bott to Harrington, Billy Darnall and Eddie Kesler and Willard's 16-yard run highlighted the drive. Willard plunged from the one, and Braine's toe was again true and the Heels' led 14-0. . With one minute left in the third quarter, Braine intercepted a Juday pass on the MSU 24 to set up the last Tar Heel touch down. After Talbott and Willard runs moved the ball to the 10, Harrington again made a div ing catch at the one foot line. Talbott sneaked it over, Braine's kick was good and the Heels had what looked like a comfortable 21-0 lead. At this point,. the Spartans took the wraps off two sopho mores who almost ruined- the afternoon for the Big Blue. Half back Clinton Jones and Gene Washington led a valiant Michi gan State rally that just fell short. Taking the kickoff after the Photo by Jock Lauterer touchdown, the Spartans moved 72 yards in only five plays for their first touchdown. With third down and short yardage on the ' Carolina 42, Jones smashed off the left side on a power play, cut back and outran Chris Han burger into the end zone. On the conversion play the Spartans pulled a little razzle-dazzle as Juday pitched to Amman, who tossed to Gormon in the back of the end zone. That two-point conversion looked even bigger when a Ju day to Washington pass two min utes later made the score 21-15 with 8:08 to play. However, the Tar Heels stop ped Juday's long passes, and after Black came up with his key interception, they just let the clock run out and walked off the. field with one of their greatest victories.
