ACO REMAKS . ~by Clirff Marks A Long Ride Home "...And Dickson scores!" screamed the radio over the roar of the Minnesota Homecoming crowd, announcing the winning touch-,. down. And then you're glad you didn't make the 14-hour trip to Minneapolis., If you think it's frustrating to watch your team throw away a game that is supposedly wrapped up, try listening to one. It's mur- der. Especially after you gave up all hope when elusive Sandy Steph- ens danced 10 yds. into the end zone; but the TD was nullified by an illegal motion penalty and hope was restored. You gave a roar when the Wolverines held, and sat back with a sigh of relief. "We've won," you thought. But then you jumped up In disbelief as youheard, ". . . and McRae finds an opening, he's hit, and fumbles .. . MIN- NESOTA- RECOVERS! .. . on the five yard line." You're stunned. Then you wonder? Why hand the ball to a slim, 170-lb. speedster when you have a 230-lb. bull named Bill Turinicliff; and you're on the nine yard line? But there's still hope. "Maybe we can'hold them." And we do, for three plays, then,"... DICKSON SCORES.' and that's°the ball game. But is it. This is the same team that scored 20 points already with its explosive attack, only to blow 13-0, and 20-8 leads. It's the same team that beat Purdue last week, and the Spoilermakers lived up to their name by upsetting Iowa yesterday. So there's still hope. Maybe bump will put in Bob Chandler to uncork a long pass that could turn the tables on the Gophers. He does. For one play. Why only one, you ask? Chandler, One for Oe... Who knows? Chandler did what he was supposed to do. He com- pleted a pass to Doug Bickle as we knew he would. Keep throwing, Bob. But then, ". . . there goes Glinka back to pass .. . it's a long one-. .,. incomplete." The next play is much of the same except that "intercepted" is sulbstituted, and then there's that name Sandy Stephens again. You wish you could have been there to see him play. He must have been great. Butthen again,'Glinka played a pretty good game, he's just not a long pass specialist. And Chandler is. In fact, it's too bad that the Wolverines had to go. for the long touchdown pass. Michigan missed its first extra point kick of the year after the second TD, when the usually reliable Bickle kicked wide. * A successful kick would have Michigan 2I instead of 20. And 21 plus a Bickle field goal make 24. Minnesota only had 23 after Stephens took care of the final two Gopher points ,with his conversion pass. But Michigan only had 20 and Elliott didn't have his team play for a tie. So they went for the long Raimey Scores Two TD's To Spark Michigan Attack SCORES ONE; PASSES FOR ANOTHER: Stephens Sparkplug in Minnesota Wi, (continued fromn Page 1) Three plays later, battering Bill Tunnicliff powered over his right side for eight yards and the touch- down.

But the drive: fizzled and Bickle's 55-yd. field, goal attempt was wide of the posts; by two feet. Another Minnesota miscue three plays later, provided the Blue team with another scoring opportunity. On the first play of the second quarter, Stephens was trapped be- hind his line for a five yard loss and attempted to lateral to half- back Jim Cairns. Stephens threw the ball on the ground and Raim- ey recovered on the Minnesota 27 yd. line. Raimey Rambles Then Raimey, on the first Mich- igan play, raced around left end, shook off Mulholland at the eight and drove on in for paydirt. Bickle missed his first conversion of the year and the score stood 13-0, with 14:39 left in the half.

The 6', 215-lb. Gopher quarter- . back who virtually is the Minne- sota offense blossomed into a defi- nite All-America consideration as he had a directs hand in all three Gopher touchdowns. The 20-year- old senior was married Thursday evening but the best wedding gift came against the Wolverines. Stetphens was the man at the helm of last year's national cham- pionship squad but had not dem- onstrated the ability to operate under pressure as he did yesterday. Against Illinois the week before, he played a crucial role in leading the Gophers to a 33-0 rout. But the quality of competition which the weak Illini displayed was not comparable to the test which the rugged Michigan defense posed, Stephens answered the challenge and silenced detractors who claimed his passing was average at best. His 11 completions, good ford. 144 yards, included a 46-yd. heave to end John Campbell for the second Minnesota touchdown and pulled the Minneapolis crew into striking distance of the up- to-then dominant Wolverines. The rugged Gopher back also scored Minnesota's first touchdown on a hard-driving 63-yd. smash over left guard. crack the Michigan line for the last touchdown. Stephens' punts averaged only 27 yards, but Warmath said his kicking against the Wolverines was "at least average or better than average, considering his sprained ankle:" The total of 304 yards which the Gopher sensation picked up JUDGE DICKSON ..:ands down decision pass and a possible win. { And what happened to the rock-ribbed Wolverine defense so good last week.

From 13-0 to 13-6 in one 63-yard play. ,And then Stephens took care of two more points; with a toss to John Campbell. It's 13-8, and you start to bite your finger- nails. "They're explosive, ' you think, and shudder. But then right off the bat Michigan starts to roll again. The pressure is on .and they seem to react like champions. As they get close to the goal line, you start to perspire. "Go ' Blue, and DON'T FUMBLE, PLEASE," you think. And they don't. ;But then it's fourth and two, on the four, and shades of MSU (fourth and one) tumble through your mind. "Give it to Raimey," you'think,".:, and Raimey drives, he's. In." "And were in too," you think. "The Victors" rings loud. ,and clear. 'Minnesota just can't move. But neither can Michigan. That's okay, it's 20-8. But you'd like to hear those Wolverines score one more. Not for insurance, but just to pour it on. Maybe we can even climb back into the top ten. Then all of a sudden you're snapped out of .your complacency. ".:..Stephens is back to pass ... it's a long one... (roar) . .. touch- down," and you slump back in disbelief for the second time. You don't even know who scored, but you know it's 20-15 and we're in trouble. eilicigan Under Pressure-... But the pressure's on, so Michigan will come back. And they al- most do. McRae just about breaks loose. Raimey picks up yardage. You remember what a great game Raimey's played. You've heard him intercept two passes, score two touchdowns, and make many tackles. , four yards out. Bickle added the kicked conversion and the Wol- verines possessed a seemingly com- fortable 20-8 lead. In the final quarter, tempers flared as the 63,898 Homecoming fans in Memorial Stadium in- creased the volume and tempo of their cheers. With four and a half minutes gone in the final period, Minnesota found itself on the 'Michigan 46 yard line by virtue of a holding penalty against the Wolverines. Then Stephens lofted his long arching pass to Campbell who caught it without breaking stride on the four yard line and raced into the end zone behind Wolverine defender Jim Ward. Tom Loechler added the extra point by kicking and the margin was narrowed to five points. With seven minutes to go, Min- nesota took over on its 12 yard line after the Wolverines punted and drove down to the Michigan nine. It was Stephens who car- ried the ball or passed, on almost. every play. He ran into the end zone with 3:30 left, but Gopher right half Tom King was illegally in motion to nullify the effort. The Wolverines took over and on the first play, McRae fumbled- and, after Stephens drove to the one foot line, Dickson cracked over on fourth down to win the game. Stephens passed to Tom Hall for the 23-20 final margin. Dave Glinka and Bob Chandler tried to connect on the long passes in the final minute and a half to score for the Wolverines, but Stephens .intercepted a Glinka pass intended for end Bob Brown on the Minnesota two yard line to end the game. Stephens collected 160 yards on the ground and 144 yards through the air, while the Gopher total. yardage was 406, compared with the Wolverines' 235. Tunnicliff was the leading gorund gainer for th eBlue with 66 yards followed by Raimey's 56.

You're jarred again, and once more. you wish you were there, but then it's almost over; only about five minutes left. "Hold that Stephens, Blue," you think. You can't take much more.
