back into busness.
Stephens, the younger brother
of former Minnesota All-American
Sandy Stephens, has always been;
a strong runner but had a scatter-
arm and a tendency to fumble.

nally got into the game, he hit
Chuck Litten with an 88-yard
scoring pass, passed and ran to
set up the Gopher's second TD,
and threw nine yards to Barry
Mayer for the final touchdown.
All the Minnesota scores, com-
ing quickly in the fourth quarter,
made Coach Elliott consider put-
ting the first team back in to
stem the tide. But he never did,
and a 16-yard run by Lance
Scheffler towards the end of the
game gave the Wolverines enough
ball control to stop any even in-
Ssinificant chance of a Minnesota

After 'the contest, Minnesota's
usually volatile Coach Murray
ily-Andy Backs Warmath was uncharacteristically
st inside the communicative. He said "we just
er of yester- got beat by a team that was a
the "butter- whole lot better than we were. We

. So there we were, sitting in the stadium yesterday after the
first quarter of the game.. I happened to glance up at the flags rep-
{ resenting the Big Ten schools which ring the stadium.
Minnesota's was at half-mast.
The symbolism, as they say, was apt. For the first half, in fact,
the statistics looked like Michigan was playing Michigan. Of the total
of 78 plays from scrimmage (not including punts), 54 were run by the
Wolverines. And only eight of all those plays started in Michigan
territory -five of them by the Wolverines on their way to scores.
The game was kind of weird. Michigan's Tim Killian, for in-
stance, missed the PAT attempt his first time out, so the Wolverines,
went after two-point conversions the rest of the way. Yet Killian set
a Michigan record with three field goals in one game.
Another type of kick set the scene for a strange play. At 6:54
of the third period, Michigan's Mike Werner punted to Dennis
Hale. He tried the old play of faking a handoff to a back going the
other way in order to get running room - and it worked, as all
the Wolverine defenders followed the wrong man. So Hale, all,
alone, took off laterally to position himself - and fell down. Not'
only that, but the blocker before him was called for clipping,
and the Gophers were 15 yards further,into their hole.
That's the way it went for the Gophers. At one point, quarter-
back Phil Hagen lateraled to halfback George Kemp, who dropped
". back and lofted one deep for flanker Mike Curtis. Curtis got it all
right -, Michigan safety Tom Curtis, that is. The Wolverine back,
turned in two such jobs yesterday, as five Gopher passes were picked
off by Michigan - almost half as many as the Minnesota receivers
caught.
Hagen finally got desperate about two-thirds of the way through
the third quarter, as he decided to call a basketball play - a bounce
pass. Or at least that's how it looked. Here's what ,happened:
Hagen rolls left. He gains about four yards and Michigan's Henry
Hill hits him. Thinking quickly, he bounces the ball forward right at
one of his guards, but guess who's there? Tom Curtis, ready to inter-
cept anything he sees. And he does.
The stats call it a fumble recovery, but I'm not convinced.
To me, it looked like Hagen was trying to find a new way -- any
way - to move the ball forward.
The final score was 33-20, which sounds kind of close. It really
wasn't, however, but at least we didn't "pour it on them," as Minne-
sota coach Murray Warmath accused us of doing two years ago.
It's a good thing we didn't, or else I don't think Warmath would
have handed the Little Brown Jug over to us.
He would have smashed it.

Warmath added, "Southern Ca-
lifornia and Michigan are the best
ball teams we faced."
Actually,reven with Minnesota's
last quarter comeback against the
Michigan second string, the Wol-
verine defeat of the Gophers wasj
much more impressive than USC's.
The nation's number one team
was only able to defeat Minnesota
29-20 on a late come-from-behind
effort sparked by O. J. Simpson.
Elliott, meanwhile, was convinc-
ed that just about every single
player on his team had an out-
standing game. He said "we 'act-
ually triednothing new, nothing
that Minnesota hadn't seen be-
fore, but whenever you score 30
points in the first half, it's got
to be a great half."
Captain Ron Johnson, figured
he was going "all the way down
to Columbus and on to Pasadena
and then no more Maize and Blue
for me."
By now, there are all sorts of
explanations for.- the miracle ,of
1968, when Michigan lost its first
game and won its next five, com-
pared to the nightmare of 1967,
when the Wolverines won their
first and lost their next five.
Offensive backfield coach Tony
Mason had called it "one more
year of maturity for key b a 11-
players and increased experience."
And then somewhere in t h e
heart of the matter has to be
the fact that Michigan has not lost
a fumble all year.
After all, in a year when the
Wolverines can break a record for
field goals, anything can happen.
..For Michigan fans, the o n 1y
thing that was disappointing !was
that there weren't enough of
them. The thirty-thousand empty
seats represented one of the poor-
est attendence figures for Home-
coming of recent years.
Perhaps it was the cold weather
and threatening skies. But if that
was true, then it is clearly evi-
dent that the older generation-
the alumni who annually return
for this game-are going soft.

But the desperate Buckeyes, with

Ohio State had only a 3-0 first

challenging work, and

fast as I can earn them.
Like to hear my version
of "Lead Me Down
the Aisle, Lyle"?

Today if I get a little misty, I hope I Imay be forgiven.
This is an anniversary; it is exactly fifteen years since
I started writing this column in your' campus paper.
Fifteen years! What a pageant of memories marches
through my mind as I sit this day on my verandah, my
faithful wife crouched at my feet, my hot line to Medicare
within easy reach! What changes I have seen in American
college life! What strange new things--the teaching
machine, the disposable dean, the rise of Eugene ... the
Moby Grape, the naked ape, the hairy nape, the Carnaby
drape, the generation gape ... the Grateful Dead, the acid
head, the tiger tread...the electric sitar, the menthol
cigar, the come-as-you-are. And, of course, the Electro-
Coated Blade.
The Electro-Coated Blade, which is to say the new
Personna Super Stainless Steel Blade, is mentioned here
because the makers of the new Personna Super Stainless
Steel Blade are the sponsors of this column, and they are
inclined to stop payment on my 'check if I omit to mention
their product.
Not, mark you, that it is any chore for me to sing
the praises of Personna, for it is a seemly blade that
shaves a you cleanly, a gleaming blade that leaves you
beaming, a trouble-free blade that leaves you stubble-free.
If you seek facial felicity, if you yearn for jowl joy, try
Personna today. It is available both in double-edge style
and in Injector style, both styles Electro-Coated with a
new process invented by Personna's resident mad sci-
entist, Steinmetz Ampere, who also invented the oppos-
ing thumb, without which millions of castanet players
would be destitute today.
But I digress. We were discussing the changes in col-
lege life during the last fifteen years. Let's take up one
change i4 particular: the emergence of a new breed of
admissions dean.
The old breed of admissions dean (and they are still
a majority) admit freshmen on the basis of standard,
cut-and-dried criteria: IQ score, SAT score, high school
standing. But the new breed of admissions dean occa-
sionally will take a chance on an applicant with a low
IQ, a low SAT score, low high school standing. He looks
not so much at a man's test scores as at the man. If the
dean's intuition tells him that within the man are hidden
qualities, something rare and special that would enrich
the college, the man gets in, test scores notwithstanding.
Take, for example, the case of Champert Sigafoos.
Champert's credentials for college were not what you
would call promising. He graduated 419th in a high
school class of 419. His IQ was 14; his SAT score was
12. Also he was bald on one side.
Nevertheless Champert trudged from campus to cam-
pus, showing his dossier to admissions deans. Everywhere
the result was the same: projectile vomiting.
Then one day Champert came to a campus where the
admissions dean, E. Pluribus Ewbank, was one of the
new breed. "Champert," said Dean Ewybank, "my intui-
tion tells me that within you are hidden qualities, some-
thing rare and special that would enrich the college."
"You're out of your bird," said Champert.
"No, Champert," said Dean Ewbank, "I know whereof
I speak, for I am not only the dean of admissions here,
but I am also the basketball coach. And the hidden quali-
ties I see within you are that you are seven feet three
inches tall."
So Champert was admitted. It did not, alas, work out
as well as it might have, for Champert shortly developed
