SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1967 rHE MICHIGAN DAILY" SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1967 tilE iYHCHIGAN DAILY Indiana Rallies Past Wolverines, 27 -20 By GRAYLE HOWLETT Associate Sports Editor Indiana and Michigan extended their respective streaks yesterday as the Hoosiers rallied in the last two minutes to thump the Wolver- ines, 27-20. It was the fifth straight win for Indiana giving them a perfect 5-0 slate on the year, the first time since 1910 that they have won their first ,five games. It was the fourth straight loss for Michigan; dropping their season record to 1-0, an ignominy they haven't experienced since 1937. The defeat was a complete re- versal from last week's; trouncing at the hands of Michigan State, as the Wolverines, after being down 20-0 at one point, hustled the momentum away from the surprisingly potent Hoosiers in the second half. + With the spotlight on perrenial sub Dennis Brown, who this week wrestled the starting post from Dick Vidmer, the Wolverines push- ed across three scores to tie In- diana, but passed up several chances in the fourth quarter to break it wide open. "I was proud of the way these guys came back," a tight-lipped Bump Elliott, Michigan's head coach, replied. "That's why this loss hurts so much-it destroys a great effort." Having a hand in destroying the great effort were two Indiana sophomores, Harry Gonso and John Isenbarger, who figured in all the scoring and paced an of- fense which racked up 375 total yards. It was the intimidation of the option pass play, a play which gives converted quarterback Isen- barger the option to pass or run, that finally scuttled the Wolver- ines. After Michigan's attempt for a game-leading field goal was wide to the left, the Hoosiers took over on their own 20 with 4:37 left in the game. An illegal procedure call set it back to their 15. Then in eleven plays with Isenbarger going over from the one, Indiana had its third stralght conference1 victory. Five of those plays were option sweeps by Isenbarger, gaining 26 yards. The Michigan defense, al- ready stung twice when Isenbarger threw over the drawn-up second-; ary, once for a 41-yard touchdown; to Jade Butcher, the second to set+ up another score, had to defenda against the pass allowing Isen- barger to chew up valuable real1 estate.; It's no great surprise (the run- pass option play)," an affable Hoosier coach John Pont related, "because we've used it in all our games this year. It's a natural. We1 shifted John (Isenbarger) from quarterback to tailback because of the great job Harry (Gonso) has' done, so we know John can throw.' It gives our offense a great threat." Elliott saw it the same way: "It's the toughest play to defend against in football. And when they do it as well as they do, it's doubly tough." Michigan looked like they wduld throw off the frustrating effect of a losing skein when they started chewing away at the Hoosier lead. Down 20-0, the dimunitive Brown drove the Wolverines 53 yards in ten plays, capping the drive with a two-yard plunge over right tackle. Hankwitz's placement made it 24-7 and gave the Wolver- ine side of the scoreboard its first action since Ron Johnson rambled 72 d yards against Navy some five periods ago. Michigan cut the margin to 20- 14 when Brown sneaked over from the one and Hankwitz added the PAT. The score was set up when Tom Curtis played the run-pass option play perfectly and inter- cepted the Isenbarger aerial to Too Little Too Late Butcher. From there it took the Wolverines only eight plays from 55 yards out. The next 21 minutes and 20 sec- onds of football, described by Pont as "a game of give-away, by both sides," was some of the wildest seen by the win-starved Wolver- ine fans. After exchanging punts, the ubiquitous Isenbarger coffin-corn- ered an Indiana punt out on the Michigan two-yard line. With their backs to the wall, Michigan couldn't move but Pete Drehmann got them out of a jam with a beautiful 79-yard punt, from the Michigan eight to the Indiana 13. From there Michigan forced In- diana to punt, the Wolverines tak- ing over on the Indiana 33, a gain of 59 yards as a result of Dreh- mann's punt. However, after driv- ing 28 yards, Brown was spilled for no gain on a fourth and goal situation on the Indiana five, and the Hoosiers took over. Three running plays yielded only eight yards, and, once more, Isen- barger trotted back to punt. This time Isenbarger took the snap and headed around left end towards the first down chain. Michigan defensive tackle Dick Williamson was somewhere in between and managed to disengage Isenbarger from the ball, giving the Wolver- From the 16, Brown ran up the middle for twelve, the Hoosiers were penalized for two, Brown dove for one, and Johnson smash- ed over from a yard out. The short drive knotted the score at 20-20. A' bad snap from center Joe Dayton to holder Brian Healy kept it that way. One play after the kickoff, the Wolverines had the ball again, this time on a fumble recovery by Jim Wilhite on the Hoosier 28. Seven plays later, the Wolverines were stalled on the Indiana five and the call went to Hankwitz. He was wide, and it was time for Isenbarger to trade the goat' horns for the hero laurels. The game was a study in futility, for the Wolverines. They outgain-I ed Indiana by 24 yards, getting 188 on the ground and 211 through the air. Also, the Wolverines invaded Hoosier territory on ten different occasions yet could only score' three times. Brown proved he was worthy of a "good hard look" as he impress- ed in the statistic department. He completed 18 of 31 for 211 ya: and rushed for a net of 127 yar His roll-out style of play, coup with a quarterback delay pl flashed the Michigan fans ba to the Bob Timberlake days. "He (Brown) did a beauti job for you guys," Pont commer ed, "he really kept the defense balance. His main asset is ti he's quick." For the Hoosiers, it's anoth week to bask in the higher ecl lons of the undefeated. For I Wolverines, it's another week bad movies. For Bump Elliott, another week to wonder if team can come back: 'This defe hurt them bad, but they came ba great in today's game, and the: come back next week."

Oxford, Ohio, a peaceful town built loosely around the Miami University campus, has a proud heritage. It has been the mailing address at one time for such grid- iron notables as Paul Brown, Weeb Eubank, Woody Hayes, and Ara Parseghian. Such personages are mere sec- ond stringers when the Miami alums gather to talk about their greatest pigskin notable, John Pont. The now Indiana mentor spent three years chalking up over 3,000 yards for the Red and White and garnered All-Mid- American honors each year. For such heroics Pont's jersey number (42) was the first and only one at Miami to be retired, an honor which rates somewhere between getting the keys to the city and getting the tail and ears from the losing bull. After his playing days, Pont re- turned to Oxford to coach the Redskins from 1956-1962. In 1962 he pulled off the upset of the year when Bob Jencks booted a field goal to lift the lowly Miami team by an undefeated Purdue squad, 10-7. Unbuttoned After a brief stint in the but- toned-down conference at Yale. Pont took on the Indiana coach- ing job and there had to be some thoughts of reissuing 01' No. 42. You see, Indiana has dreamt the impossible dream of going to the Rose Bowl every year, but each time they've upheld their losing tradition. Pont coming to Indiana was go- ing to be the classic struggle; great coaching meeting a totally inept football program. At first, it looked like Indiana had won as they typically piled up a 3- 16-1 record in Pont's first two that we had to start from scratch. And we did, beginning with get- ting new uniforms." Pont's main talent, of course, isn't tailoring, but in recruiting: "What did we have to offer a boy? A losing ball club. We have al- ways depended on talent from the Midwest and three states, in particular-Illinois. Indiana, and Ohio. But look at the competition we had. Sure the boy would go with the winner." Round the Bend "But now we feel our program has turned the corner. Now we can offer a boy a fine program plus the chance to play. We're so young that we can't name our starting line-up 'til right before the game; there's that much competition." "This is really our first year of recruiting here - this sopho- more class being all ours-and 27 out of the 31 came from Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Now that's progress." Thirteen of those 31 played in yesterday's victory, with two of them, quarterback Harry Gonso and tailback John Isenbarger the keys to the Wolverines fourth straight loss. When asked about Gonso, Pont fingered the psychidelic cover on this week's Sports Illustrated and gave a short chuckle, as if to say; "You'll see tomorrow." What he actually did say was this: "Har- ry's a fine sophomore quarter- back. As a matter of fact, there seems to be a rash of fine sopho- more quarterbacks this year. But that Just proves that football is a cyclical game. He'll better with each game." In that case, I pity Indiana's next opponent, Arizona, because Gonso proved without a doubt that he is capable field general. His yardage statistics weren't that impressive, but when a sophomore calls all the plays in an 85-yard winning drive, experience can't be that far away. After the game, getting into the Indiana dressing room was as hard as stopping the Isenbarger-to-Jade Butcher pas option play. Appar- ently, Indiana is so used to losing that the managers by instinct lock the door to the press. After finally convincing the red-shirted Hoosier manager that they had won, the press was admitted. Pont was perched on a training table looking as fresh as he did in the "executive suite." Clutched in his hand was a can of "Hustle," some kind of soft drink which he probably pours down his offensive unit. All the Way? The first question he was hit with was whether the Hoosiers could go all the way. Again, he laughed and said: "Wait a min- ute, this winning is kind of new yet. We still have a young team. We have to play it week by week. Sure, its great to talk about our best start since 1910 and to point out our ranking. I love to talk about it because I'm a football coach, and its my business to win. But we've got a tough game next week against Arizona. We'll have to look at that one." Pont did say something definite: "If this is the script of our games, I don't mind-as long as we win." And it looks like winning might be a new habit at Indiana.

But Pont had a second ef- fort. With Indiana's last minute vic- tory' yesterday over Michigan, 27- 20, Pont's aiming to have an Indiana coach remembered.
