THE MICHIGAN DAILY ichigan Defense runches Staubach,2 1 Halt Middie Aerials; Ward Tallies Twice By TOM ROWLAND Associate Sports Editor Roger Staubach stood before the locker room mirror following yesterday's 21-0 Michigan victory over the Middies and looked at the. reflection of a very unhappy All-America quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner. He interrupted adjusting his tie occasionally to shake the hands of well-wishers and consolers. The big problem? "We never got the football into the end zone."

The Wolverines suffered from Timberlake Keys Wolverine Powerful Offensive Weaponi M Big Bill It might have been a disinte- grating tackle by big Bill Yeaiby as Staubach faded to pass in third' quarter. It might have been the' omnipresence of tackle John Yanz in the Middle backfield. Or the interceptions, tackles, and fum- ble-pouncing of linebacker Tom Cecchini. In any event, Staubach ended up with a net minus three yards rushing, 16 out of 30 in the passing department (a far cry of 14 for 16 in Staubach's greatest performance in the Michigan! game a year ago), and an aggra- vated ankle injury which is fig- ured to keep hi. out of action for at least a week. That Michigan's defense was at its- best is the word from Coach Bump Elliott, a much happier in- dividual in the home 'ocker room. "We were really hitting out there today - all those Navy fumbies really hurt them, and the credit goes to our hard tackling. "Last week against Air Force we learned a lot about our limita- tions, especially on defense. I think the key to the victory was the big defensive effort. This team has a lot of pride and makes a great effort to improve. They came to play, as they showed on the field today." Timberlake Stars Elliott refused to point out in- dividual sparkling efforts, because "they all played a great game." But he picked out quarterback Bob Timberlake as a big key to Wolverine victory. The Michigan' nelmsman hit home on seven of 11 tosses along with 51 yards picked up on six carries The Wolverines' honor man in the yards department was left halfback Jim (Diesel) Detwiler, who before leav'ng the game in the second half with a ig bruise compiled' 77 yards .on 11 rushes. And that's even yards a carry in anybody's book. Carl Ward, speedster at the other half, amassed 71 yards in 18 carries. Navy Coach Wayne Hardin cited Middle fumbles and inex- perience as key factors in the Wolverine win. "Michigan had no surprises for us, but they were a vastly improved team over last year. Those early fumbles hurt us -you just can't drop the ball against a good team and expect to win." Staubach got off to a slow start through the air, missing the long throw on the first play from scrimmage and then having the second picked off by Cecchini. But midway through the first half the Navy star homed in on eight straight aerials in moving the Middies downfield. The. Wolverine defense held on the long pass, though, as many the bruises of the battle: Detwiler, Barry Dehlin with a cut lip, Steve Smith with a hip injury, Ward harboring a bruised thigh. All were -minor and aren't expected to affect the Michigan lineup against MSU next week.; John Rowser, left half who has sat out the first two games, may be ready for the Spartans, too He turned a knee in practice Friday in a recurrence of an injury suf- fered a week ago and didn't see action yesterday. * * * Speaking of Michigan State, Elliott said that he was "not sur- prised" with the Spartans' 17-7 win yesterday over USC. "Mich- igan State has an excellent foot- ball team. We'll be ready to play them." *'4 *. ** Elliott sent 55 Wolverine grid- ders into the fray against the Navy, including a total of 11 ends. One of them was punter Stan Kemp, who boomed three punts for an average of 41 yards. That includes a 60 yard boot from the Michigan 40 to the end zone in the fourth quarter. Scuttlers (Continued from Page I) minutes of the first period. With Navy on the host's 39-yard stripe, pass to end Jim Ryan, but when the junior Midshipman fumbled, Staubach completed a five-yard Rich Hahn recovered for the Wol- verines. Senior quarterback Bob Timber- lake engineered the nine-play 66- yard march in which Ward went over left tackle from the Navy two. On the extra-point attempt, the snap from center was momen-. tarily bobbled and Timberlake's bid was unsuccessful. Ward carried the ball five times on this series, with his biggest gain coming on a 25-yard sweep around left end to the Navy 17. Ward's Second Michigan took a Navy punt on its own 20-yard line early in the second half and marched 80 yards' for the second tally in just nine plays. Timberlake was once again the key to the offensive drive. With a third-and-six situation, the big' signalcaller faded to his right for a pass, but was forced to run, and dodged his way to a 27-yard gain to the Navy 49. The Wolverines quickly picked up another first down at the Middie 36 and two plays later Timberlake hit senior end Ben Farabee on a 32-yard play, setting up Ward's sprint off tackle for the score on the next play. Michigan elected to go for the two point conversion and Farabee took another pass in the end zone for the extra points. Final Tally As the third quarter ended, the stingy defense stopped a Navy drive on the Wolverines' 28-yard. line and ripped off the 72 yards in ten plays for the final score of the game. Timberlake mixed the passing and running game, and set up the touchdown himself, carry- ing 11 yards to the Navy four. Fisher had just entered the game for that play, and on the next play he powered his way over for six points. In last year's game, Staubach completed 14 of 16 passes, two going for touchdowns, and scored once himself. Yesterday, the ,Heisman Trophy winner completed two more passes, but the longest was only 13 yards. His total yardage last year was 237, compared to 166 yesterday. Navy coach Wayne Hardin com- mented after the game that "the Michigan pass defense was about the same as last year's, except this time they were able to bottle up our long aerials and refused to give us those short ones on key third down plays. Staubach Ailing Staubach was obviously not as elusive as he was last year.. Two weeks ago during the Penn State game, the Navy signalcaller in- jured his Achilles tendon when an opposing lineman fell on him and managed to appear in only four plays last week during Navy's 35-6 romp over William and Mary. Only once throughout the game did he show his old form. Michi- gan's Stan. Kemp punted to the Navy four yard line in the first quarter. After the Middies had lost two on a running play, Staubach then faded back into his end zone to pass, maneuvered between tacklers, and picked up some blockers to scamper to his own 27-yard line.
