...eight games and the nation's No. 1-ranked team, with a couple of brilliant sophomores in Jim Seymour and Terry Hanratty (TIME cover,'Oct. 28), a defensive "front four" that weighed in at 240 lbs. a man, and an explosive offense that had averaged 404 yds. and 37 points per game. Their opponent this time: Michigan State, ranked No. 2, undefeated in 19 regular-season games, a team that boasted five All-Americas, including Defensive End Charles ("Bubba") Smith, who tips the scales...
...whole game without its best runner, Nick Eddy, who had a sore shoulder. The Spartan defense took care of the rest. It triple-teamed Irish End Seymour so effectively that he did not catch a pass; in all, Notre Dame gained a grand total of only 219 yds. Thirty-four of those yards came on a touchdown pass from Coley O'Brien, Hanratty's replacement, to Halfback Bob Gladieux, but the best that the Irish could do after that was a 28-yd. field goal by Joe Azzaro...
...scarcely the size of a farm boy's "varmint" rifle; yet it can spray short bursts at the rate of 750 rounds per minute, though reloading time cuts the effective rate to a far lower figure. Its muzzle velocity is so great that within 100 yds.-the range of most Viet Nam fire fights-an M-16 bullet generates supersonic shock waves that can collapse internal organs into bloody mush, shatter bone or leave arms and legs dangling drunkenly...
...M16s, the infantry squad carries a knockout punch in the blunderbuss-shaped M-79 grenade launcher. "Beautiful little seventy-niners," the Marines call them, particularly when a 40-mm. grenade-spring-loaded with half-inch steel barbs -pops in the middle of a Viet Cong position 385 yds. away. The M-79 has two drawbacks: it is only a single-shot weapon (good grenadiers get off 16 rounds per minute), and its grenades are armed only after a flight of 30 meters through the air-in order to protect the grenadier from their fragments. A multishot M-79 is currently...
...have wondered where the first-string went. Would you believe a Notre Dame backfield composed of Belden, Wen-gierski, Lamantia and Kelly? Well, Terry Hanratty and Jim Seymour (TIME cover, Oct. 28) were in there for the first half. Quarterback Hanratty completed eight out of 13 passes for 127 yds.; and three of those tosses-one for a touchdown-went to Seymour, who had obviously recovered from the sprained ankle he suffered two weeks before against Oklahoma. Muscling up for this week's collision with No. 2ranked Michigan State, the No. 1-ranked Irish ran their season...
