Until the final period, it ap- peared as though the Illini's first- period field goal by Don Yeazel would stand as the only score of the game. The Spartans, given numerous opportunities in the first half, couldn't cash in. Their only threat in the second half fizzled in the wake of a field goal attempt which went low and wide. Iowa Downs Northwestern IOWA CITY-The deadly aerial' shots of Iowa's Randy Duncan ex-; ploded plucky Northwestern's vic- tory bubble and Awept the un- beaten Hawkeyes into undisputed Big Ten leadership with a 26-20 homecoming triumph yesterday. Duncan hurled three scoring passes for a 20-0 lead before the spirited Wildcats rallied for three second half touchdowns to throw a big fright into a record Iowa crowd of 59,275. "Iowa's decisive touchdown proved to be fullback Don Horn's four-yard scoring smash at the outset of the fourth quarter. Iowa's decisive touchdown' the Big Ten race with a 3-0 con- ference record as Ohio State was tied by Wisconsin, 7-7, for a 2-0-1 mark. It was the first loss in three Big Ten starts for Northwestern.

Two bad breaks in the closing minutes kept the Badgers from turning in a startling upset. Each team scored in the third period of the rugged defensive battle, Dayle Hackbart, Wisconsin quar- terback, scored his sixth touch- down of the year as he raced 64 yards with a punt return to give the Badgers a 7-0 lead. The Bucks marched the ensuing kickoff 66 yards in 20 plays to tie it up as Bob White, the block-busting full- back, blasted over from the 1-inch line. Purdue Staves off ND SOUTH BEND-Purdue scored three times within seven minutes in the third quarter yesterday and then held off a late Notre Dame aerial surge to take a 29-22 foot- ball victory. Jarring Bob Parus, 200-pound junior fullback, punched three Purdue touchdowns as the Boiler- makers defeated the Irish for the third time in the last five years and boosted their season mark to 4-1. But Notre Dame kept the rain- drenched crowd of 59,563 on its feet with a typical Fighting Irish' comeback, scoring 15 points in the final quarter of the regionally tele- vised game. Indiana Edges Miami BLOOMINGTON, Ind.-Indiana stepped out of its league and into its class yesterday, beating Miami of Ohio, 12-7, on two pass inter- ceptions and a touchdown toss from Tom Kendrick to Ron Miller. The cellar team of the Big Ten found its hands full with the Mid- American Conference footbally leaders but had the edge in man- power, passing and pass defense. Pass interceptions set up the Hoosiers' first touchdown and stopped the Redskins as they were pounding downfield toward a pos- sible winning touchdown with time running out, . 1 --Daily-Peter Anderson BUSHONG ROMPS-Michigan sophomore halfback Reid Bushong is shown as he runs back a Minnesota kickoff 33 yards after the final Gopher touchdown yesterday.

But... OACH BENNIE OOSTERBAAN was pleased yesterday afternoon. His team won a Big Ten football game. It wasn't an impressive ictory-in fact, it wasn't even an impressive game. Despite the fact that the game was decided by one point and the outcome was in doubt until the final gun, it wasn't the kind of game that kept the fans interested. Nevertheless, it was a victory, and it proved a point- a point that Oosterbaan, the team, and all of the followers of Michi- gan football had pondered over the past week. The point-could the Wolverines recover from the 55-24 mauling Northwestern game them last Saturday, or would they simply fold up for the rest of the season. The answer was stated by Oosterbaan: "I was real proud of the team. They showed no effects of the defeat last week, and they proved that they could bounce back and play a whining ball game." From the point of homecoming, and the number of alumni that were back on the Michigan campus, it was a very important victory. All of the alumni and the student groups around campus had stood behind the Michigan team and coaching staff after the humiliating Northwestern loss. These groups had banked on the fact that Michigan wouldn't fall apart-it was a tribute to the Michigan tradition, and one which the Wolverine gridders responded to. A Big Decision . IT WAS ANOTHER game that Michigan athletic director H. O. 'Fritz" Crisler played a role in. Oosterbaan must certainly like the new rule by now, since it has helped the Wolverines win two games. As in the Southern California game, Michigan led, 20-19, after the opponents' third touchdown-leaving the Gophers with the same BIG decision that the Trojans had. The decision was made-as in the Trojans' case--to gamble. The Gophers went for two points, and lost the game by one. "It was a courageous move by Murray Warmath (the Minnesota coach) and his boys," Oosterbaan said. "It certainly showed that they had the desire to win-they could figure that in three out of four cases the try for one point would be good," Warmath sadly stated, "We weren't satisfied with a tie-not against Michigan. Anybody would have gone for the two points when they are only one behind. It was a chance that had to be taken." It was a bitter defeat for the Minnesota coach, who had been under the same pressures from irate alumni and students this last week that Oosterbaan had faced. It was, perhaps, fate that was to decide which coach would be "hung" for the second straight week. On the other hand, Oosterbaan feels that it was the players who decided. "The game was a real tribute to the kids," he said. (Continued from Page 1) 5 line. Ptacek scored on the next play on a quarterback sneak and Harper converted. Minnesota Ties Game Minnesota was unable to move until late in the first period, and then paced by the fine running of left halfback Bob Soltis and the fakery of quarterback Jim Reese, Minnesota was able to move from its own 42-yard line to score. .Michigan got its second touch- down late in the second period with most of the yardage gained in a 56-yard pass play from Dar- rell Harper to Walt Johnson. Five more running plays brought Michigan to the Gopher's one yard line, from where Ptacek scored his second touchdown on a quarterback sneak. Ptacek was forced out of bounds in his at- tempt to run for the extra points. On the first play from scrim- mage in the third period, Harper engineered his 58-yard touchdown run. Harper leaped over right guard, then cut to his left and raced down the sidelines outdis- tancing the Minnesota secondary for the score. Harper converted and it appeared that Michigan would win going away. But the plucky Gophers were not to be beaten easily. Except for Harper's run, the Wolverines were unable to move offensively for the rest of the game, with Minnesota maintaining almost complete dominance. Harper kicked off and the Gophers brought the ball back to their own 23-yard line, where theyj commenced a 77-yard scoring' drive in nine plays. Soltis scored from the one with 3:52 remain- ing. Gerth's attempted conversion was wide and Michigan was still commanding a 20-13 lead, 4 & (&A Neither team moved within threatening position of the goal for the remainder of the third quarter.

And the Wolverines played the Gophers even, except for an extra point. Michi- gan has four more games to go-all rough. Every game is rough for Michigan this year. Iowa, the next foe, is leading the Big Ten. Illinois is a surprise team that ranks third. Indiana is the only other team in Minnesota's class, but that doesn't mean a breather for Michigan. Ohio State is always tough, Lots of Work To Do... T IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT to say that Michigan has a lot of work to do. The offense rambled again yesterday, much as it did, against Navy. It was a diversified attack, gaining well both in the air and on the ground. They began with a sudden spread formation which Oosterbaan feels was responsible for "shaking up" Minnesota and allowing Michigan to score first. However, it was the same team that has failed, all season long, to gain the yards when they are most important-they still stalled when near the opponents' goal line. The defense, although not like last week at Northwestern, was still bad. The fact that Minnesota outgained Michigan, especially in the second half, indicates a definite weakness in the Michigan line. Up until last week the line was considered Michigan's strong point. This now deserves great reconsideration. As usual, the pass defense was poor, but Minnesota's passers were equally bad, completing only 3 of 14 attempts. However, when the 'M' line got rough, the Gophers were able to pull out of third- and fourth-down situations with the three passes that did hit the mark. The second half was the same old story. Michigan didn't play the game all the way. It won't work against the future opponents that Michigan will face. It is no crime if the Wolverines lose the next few games because they don't have the material, but if they lose because they don't give all that they have-well, then things just aren't right. Some Bright Spots ..,. OUT OF THE DOLDRUMS of success-a slight redundancy-come a few bright spots. Bob Ptacek, Michigan's senior quarterback who wasn't supposed to play this week, scored two touchdowns and led the team for most of the game. After suffering a severe ankle sprain at Northwestern, the burly signal caller recovered quickly, and played 5I minutes and 15 seconds of yesterday's game. The injury isn't com- pletely healed, however, and began to bother him again in the fourth quarter. Ptacek drew Oosterbaan's highest praise, "He showed great leadership, and more than anyone else was responsible for holding the team together." The brightest spot for Michigan, however, came soaring over the Minnesota line after only 22 seconds were gone in the second half and raced 58 yards for the third and most important of Michigan's touch- downs-his name, Darrell Harper. The junior halfback, starting his first game after playing behind Brad Myers earlier in the season, dis- played the best Michigan running of the season yesterday and also proved that he can pass. "He played a fine game," Oosterbaan said. "The fact that he can pass much better than Myers makes our offense far more diversified. It gives us an opportunity to pass from both the T and single-wing." Harper also played one of the best defensive games of any Michigan halfbacks this year. The only area in which he wasn't as effective as before was on punts. He had led the nation with a better than 45 yards per kick average since his terrific boots in the Michigan State game, but after yesterday the average has dropped to about 40. Of course, it's a pretty good trade as far as the team is concerned-if he runs 58 yards a play and only kicks 40 the team will not suffer. li .--MOiSAICS--. --JEWELRY-...
