Parks spent much of the afternoon in the Wildcat backfield dumping the Northwestern quarterbacks four times for losses totaling 25 yards. Pryor, who has turned into a tackling demon this year, dropped Shelbourne twice for 18 yards. Henry Hill and tackle Tom Goss also each dropped the quarter-j back twice. ' dailly spojrtstC, NIGHT EDITOR: DIANA ROMANCHUK More Sports on Page 9 The offense was having its troubles yesterday, but as coach Bump Elliott noted, "when the team got going it really caught fire." Michigan got its spark soon' after the start of the second quar- ter. The Wolverines were able to sustain a drive. They ground outt three to five yards at a time be- fore Brown hit Harris and Jerry Imsland with consecutive passes to move the, ball from the North- western 49 to the 24. Five plays later Brown threw an incomplete pass but the Maize and Blue were given the ball on the Wildcat three as defensive hold- ing was called on Northwestern.. Johnson, who gained 129 yards on 24 carries, went in for the first of his two touchdowns for the afternoon. Still the game was far from over. It took an interference call on Northwestern later in the quarter to break the game open. Michigan had the ball, third and 26, on Northwestern's 33 after an offensive holding penalty. Brown then threw an incomplete pass to tight end Jim Mandich on the Wildcat 10 yard line, but defeider Mike Hudson in his attempt to prevent the completion interfered with Mandich to give the Wolver- ines the ball first and goal from there.

Michigan forces fatal Northwestern errors By, DAVID WEIR Spoclal To The Daily EVANSTON-Michigan's defense almost outgained Northwestern's offense here yesterday. Almost. But by 38 yards on the ground and by 20 yards in the air; the bumbling Wildcat attack managed to squeak past the fired-up Wol- verine defense. That, however, was the nearest Northwestern came to anything resembling victory, as Michigan romped to its sixth straight win, 35-0. Led by Tom Curtis who caught two Wildcat passes for 64 yards, Dan Parks with one for 50 yards and a touchdown, Bob Kieta with one for 24 yards, and Mark Werner who snagged one pass for no gain; the Wolverines smothered quarterback David Shelbourne's aerial attack. (Total: 5 interceptions for 138 yards). Six Michigan defenders tackled would-be Northwestern ground- gainers 12 times for a combined total of 71 yards behind the line of scrimmage. 'They (Northwestern) had a real good offensvie line," Wolverine linebacker Cecil Pryor remarked after the game. "They were bigger than us, but they gave up a little speed ... we were a little quicker." (The phrase 'a little quicker' conjures up memories of the massive Parks (6'5", 235 pounds), rambling and rumbling down the sideline with his second-quarter touchdown.) The gamestarted out calmly enough, with neither team moving the ball very well throughout a scoreless first period. The calm was deceptive, however. A well-tuned Wolverine offense, averaging nearly 30 points per game this season, was just waiting to explode.' The fans were ready, the bands were ready, the stage was set: And sure enough, there was an explosion. Four touchdowns in eight minutes, and the game was out of reach. The first scoring drive (74 = yards in 16 plays) was restrained enough. A pair of key third-down passes from Dennis Brown to split end Bill Harris kept up the momentum, though, and Ron Johnson went over from the three for the first of his two touchdowns in the game. Then, in the last three minutes o'f the half, Northwestern com- mitted a series of three fatal mistakes. * Number One: An interference penalty at the Wildcat seven- yard line. Two plays later, a Michigan TD. Score: 14-0. E . Number Two: Two plays after the kickoff, a Shelbourne pass picked off by Curtis and returned to the NU 41. Three plays later, Johnson scores from the five, making it 20-0. " Number Three: After the kickoff, Shelbourne's first pass picked off by Parks, who rode his teammates' blocking into the end zone for a whopping 28-0 halftime lead. apoplexy doug ble FIRST DOWNS Rushing Passing Penalty TOTALNO.

Copi SOPHOMORE LANCE SCHEFFLER (45) leaps over the North- western line to score Michigan's final touchdown in yesterday's 35-0 rout. The six pointer was the first score of the young half- back's collegiate varsity career. After that, it was a return to the cold-war-type action of the opening quarter, until the reserves pushed over the fifth and final TD late in the last period. Diving the, final one Tard was sophomore Lance Scheffler, for the 'first score of his career. Johnson added 129 yards to his record-setting pace in assault of Tom Harmon's all time rushing record of 2134 yards. He now has a career total of 1951-a mere 183 yards short of Harmon's 27-year-old mark. Johnson, who carried the ball 24 times, has now racked up more rushing attempts (416) than any player in Michigan history. The outcome was hardly surprising. A well-oiled Michigan ma- chine, fed on the culmulative steam of five straight victories and the knowledge that three more will send It to the Rose Bowl, smashed the Wildcat Homecoming. Near the end of the game, the large contingent of Michigan fans broke out in a new chant: an enthusiastic "We're NUMBERONE!" From where I Was sitting yesterday, it seemed to be a pretty accurate claim. 9 5 49 0 28 0 Of Cops dr inkin nd football EVANSTON Evanston, Illinois, is the drag strip for the local police. Mounted on giant motorcycles, and wearing black leather jackets and white helmets, they zip through the town in overwhelming numbers. Whether scrambling or in an all-out race, they leave traffic patterns in a snarl. Somjetime they cut off motorists who are forced to slam on the brakes. It really shakes up the local citizens, not to mention the visitors coming in for football games. Apparently, the police have little else to do. Evanston is a dry city. It's the location of the national headquarters of the Women's Christian Temperance tjnion (WCTU). If there ever is a problem, the, police turn on their sirens which may be the loudest in the world. A platoon of about a half dozen cyleles with a couple of squad ears is an impressive sight speeding down the street in full regalia. Often, they pass another group going In the opposite direction. If a cop ever has to get off his bike, to direct traffic or something like that, he does so regretfully. In a syibol of defiance he keeps his helmet and jacket on. If a motorist does not understand a police- man's signal and turns the wrong way, he is liable to find his rear - windshield being bashed by a cop's flashlight. Besides its amazing police department and the WCTU, Evan- ston is the home of one other organization of note: the North-' western football team. Unlike the cops and the temperance people, the Wildcats are inept. They have no real offense, or maybe it just looks that way against the Michigan defense. As, for the Northwestern defense, it is stubborn but eventually convinced. Also, it has an amazing tendency to lose personnel as one man after another is carried off the field. Incidentally, Michigan also shut out Northwestern 35-4 in 1964.
