CHAMPAIGN -- Yesterday's
57-0 humiliation of Illinois, be-
sides pushing Michigan one step
further to Pasadena, proved to
be a coming out party for a cou-
ple of Michigan's unheralded
players.
Both Bruce Elliott and Jim
Betts found their niches of star-
dom on the historic turf of Me-
morial Stadium here in Cham-
paign.
Defensive back Elliott, w1 h 0
has been playing in and out of
the shadow of t h r e e veteran
backs - Tom Curtis, Barry
Pierson, a n d Brian Healy --
lioti
found his glory in a spectacular
40-yard interception return for
a touchdown.
Betts, second string quarter-
back behind Don Moorhead,
finally realized his potential as
he threw two touchdown passes
and ran for another in a wild
Wolverine fourth quarter scor-
ing burst.
For Elliott, the accomplish-
ment was a lot more t h a n a
simple interception and touch-
down. Middle guard Henry Hill
analyzed the 'happening' in the
lockerroom after the game: "We
were all ribbing Bruce before
the game about how he was the
home town boy who was going
to show the folks how good he
is. And man, he did."
bask
Elliott grew up here in Cham-
paign while his father, Pete El-
liott, was managing (quite suc-
cessfully) the Illini fortunes. He
was All-State in both football
and baseball at Champaign Cen-
tral High School and was
brought by his uncle Bump El-
liott to Michigan when his fa-
ther was "kicked out" of Illi-
nois for an alleged slush fund.
Elliott told his own story af-
ter the game.
"All my family and a lot of
my relatives are here today. I
really wanted to get a touch-
down, an interception or just
get something in this game. It
w a s something I've always
dreamed about.

"My man was running a short
flag pattern, sort of a 45 degree
turn-out and he was running it
real shallow. I laid b a c k the
first two times he ran the pat-
tern because it was near the end
of the game and I thought they
would pass long.
"But the third time I figured
they were just going to try for
the short ones and I slipped up
on him.
"At first when I caught the
ball I thought I could make it
all the way down the right side-
line. Then I saw a whole bunch
of people there in front of me
and I was forced to cut inside.
"I kept running for the far
left corner but didn't think I
would make it. I heard Barry
(Pierson) yelling 'Bruce, Bruce'
and then he put a great block
on the guy nearest me. When I
found myself lying on my back
in the end zone I couldn't be-
lieve what had happened."
For his efforts, Elliott receiv-
ed the game ball fr'om his team-
mates and Coach Bo Schem-
bechler. Schembechler also add-
ed a few words of praise, "El-
liott's interception and run ex-
cited our guys more than any-
thing in the game. He's a great
kid, a good football player, and
a great competitor.
"He's right out of the old El-
liott mold."
Schembechler then turned to
the subject of his second string
quarterback, "Betts really look-
ed good, didn't he. He's a much
better quarterback than he
showed in the Wisconsin game.
I'm glad he got a chance to play
and show his stuff."
In all, Betts completed s i x
passes in nine attempts for 106
yards and two touchdowns. He
ran for another 51 yards in 9
carries, producing a third TD.
His total offense performance of
157 yards even beat Moorhead's
total by one yard.
After the game, Schembech-.
ler still evaded questions about
the Rose Bowl as he's done ever
since the loss to Michigan State.
To him, Iowa's win over Indiana
yesterday means the Hawkeyes
will be that much tougher to
beat next week.
"Iowa is a very dangerous ball
club," he said. "Right now we
have two tough games remain-
ing in Iowa and Ohio State. But
so does Purdue in Ohio State
and Indiana. An d Ohio State
has to play Purdue and us."
"So now I can't talk about
the Rose Bowl. Iowa comes
first." Glenn Doughty (22) strong-arms Illinoi

which Taylor lost but he shrug-
ged his shoulders at the Illinois
40 and left the two in a heap.
In all, Taylor collected 155 yards.
Michigan's next drive began
after an Illinois fumble. Cecil Pry-
:r clobbered quarterback Gary
Lange just as he handed off to
Darrell Robinson.
#The ball squirted foreward to
signals. Betts had some trouble
moving the team initially, though,
as the Wolverines went scoreless
for the rest of the quarter.
But as the final period got un-
derway Betts had the team closing
in on a score. Beginning the drive
at their own 30, Michigan moved'
upfield with little trouble. Betts
mixed his plays well as the Illini
saw runs, short passes and long

For the last play of the game
Mike Keller picked off a Lange'
pass to end what may have been
the most disasterous day in Illini
grid history.
Through most of the second half
the crowd was yawning, bored
with the slaughter. The only man
that could not close his eyes and
laugh was Illini Coach Jim Valek.
Valek had a lot to say starting
with injuries. "You might as wellE
put our whole squad on the injury

"We had 11 players injured in
the first half and seven others in

in all."

Bruce Erb suffered a broken jawj
and other injuries in a motorcycle

"Losing Erb was demoralizing,"
mused Valek. "The team came to:

practice Friday in high spirits.
Then they heard the news and
they're all worrying and talking
about how bad their co-captain is
and then no longer have their
minds on the game as they
should."
Erb's loss forced personnel
changes that proved disastrous.
"His accident trigered a chain
reaction," continued Valek. "First
thing we did Friday was m o v e
(Oscar) Silva back to linebacker.
We had worked all week on plans
to use four linebackers against
Michigan. Erb goes down, then
(Veto) Santini gets hurt in the
first half - then (Moe) K e lly

end up with (Don) Darlington,
(Rich) Kristak, (Norris) C o 1 e-
man and Silva at linebackers in
the second half. The first two
haven'tchad game experience at
the position and the other two
were playing with injuries."
The injuries most likely would
not have changed the outcome,
but would probably have just held
down the score.

BLOOMINGTON -- Jerry Nel-
son blocked a third-period In-
diana punt yesterday to set up
Iova's vinning touchdown in a
28-17 victory that virtually killed
the racially-troubled Hoosier's
hopes of representing the Big Ten
in the Rose Bowl.
With the Hawkeyes trailing 14-
13, middle guard Nelson went
straight up the middle to smoth-
er the kick by John Isenbarger.
Dan McDonald recovered the
football on Indiana's 18-yard line
and tailback Dennis Green put
Iowa ahead four plays later with
a 5-yard touchdown run.
Green added another touch-
down, icing the game late in the
final period after linebacker Dave
Brooks intercepted a Harry Gonso
pass and returned it 23 yards to
the Indiana 5-yard line.
Indiana, its squad thinned out
at midweek by the departure of
10 protesting Negro players, had
taken the lead in the third period
mainly on the hard running of
Isenbarger. The Hoosier halfback
totaled 140 yards on 21 carries and
scored one touchdown.
Quarterback Larry Lawrence
accounted for two Iowa touch-
downs. He broke three tackles on
a first quarter 40-yard scoring
run and passed 19 yards to flank-
er Kerry Reardon fo' another
touchdown.

LAFAYETTE - Purdue's Mike
Phipps, the Big Ten's top passer,
and Stan Brown, the league's top
scorer, led a methodical whipping
of the Michigan State football
team yesterday,.41-13.
Jeff Jones, the Boilermakers'
automatic kicker, cracked a na-I
tional collegiate record with five
conversions that gave him a string
of 39.
Jones also booted field goals of
30 and 37 yards.
Phipps picked up 292 yards and
became the sixth-best on total
offense in the National Collegiate
Athletic Association history. He
now has a career total offense of
5,470 yards.
Michigan State's miseries in-
cluded the loss of sophomore Steve
Piro, who started at quarterback
for the first time and tore the
ligaments in his right knee in
the first quarter.
The Spartans turned over the
signal calling to another sopho-
more, Dan Werner, who had never
played in a college game.
Werner proved to be a strong
passer, hitting for 314 yards, in-
cluding a 47-yard scoring throw
to Stephen Kough.
Purdue had the Spartans down
31-0 at the half.
Brown scored two of Purdue's
touchdowns on short runs. Phipps

The scenario for this drive was
much the same as the last as Betts
and Doughty did most of the dam-
age, the big play a pass to Hank-

play Doughty went for no gain and
a Betts pass to Harris fell incom-

Then John Gabler snuck out of
the backfield and took the toss
from Betts for the touchdown.
