PINGEL CARRIES BALL AT ARMS LENGTH: Johnny Pingel, great Michigan State back, seems to lug a football carelessly, but he uses his arms to balance himself on quick cutes and seems to get away with it, as he did Saturday in this 15-yard gain against Syracuse. Pingel made two touchdowns and passed to Nelson for the third score to defeat Syracus 19-12.

PAVING WAY FOR STATE'S FIRST TOUCHDOWN: Superb blocking by M. S. C. teammates cleared Usif Haney's path for a 25-yard gain in the first period of State's game with Wayne Saturday. Immediately following this play Pingel skuirmed 26 yards for a score.

DOUBLE PASS PLAY GAINS FOR M. S. C.: Usif Haney, state fullback, carried the ball 17 yards on this play against Temple University at East Lansing Saturday afternoon. At right Diehl effectively takes two potential tacklers from the play. John Pingel, running to his right, heaved a forward to a teammate close to the line. The first receiver took a step to the right and turned to shovel the ball to Haney, throwing the defense off stride.

BEST BALL CARRIER ON THE FIELD: Temple's flashy attack outshone Michigan State play at East Lansing Saturday although the Owls were defeated, 10-0. Returning a kickoff on a run as long as his name, Juralewicz, Temple halfback, is shown darting down an alley opened by his hard blocking teammates. At the left, Drulis, guard, is about to stop Bremer and at the right Kineck, M. S. C. end, has been disposed of by Lukac and Kovacevich.

DID IT TICKLE? Ed Pearce (41), Flint, Michigan State halfback, closed his eyes and thrust his left forefinger under an Indiana tackler's jersey and shoulder pad in a unique stiff-arm Saturday in the game at East Lansing. This unorthodox method was effective for Pearce gained 10 yards on the play. Frank Karas (13), Escanaba, State tackle, is the lad at the right.

SPARTANS WILL MISS HIM: Ron Alling, veteran Spartan center, won't be able to play against Michigan Saturday. He suffered an injury in the Wayne game which will keep him on the sidelines for two or three weeks. He has been one of the stalwarts of that strong Michigan State line and the Spartans are certain to be weakened with Ron on the sidelines. Bill Batchelor, who failed to win a letter last year as a sophomore, will be at the important pivot post here Saturday.
