The Long, Long Pass
NORTHWESTERN CALLS IT "John's Pass." Iowa and Michigan pre-
fqr to label it "Talley's Tally" or "Destruction from Long Dis-
tance."
But the tag is of nom import, other than identifying the sender of
a pigskin message to secondary defensemen that reads: "If you're not
awake or just too slow, you're gonna get hurt!"
For the record, John Talley is a Wildcat quarterback, hidden in
obscurity for two years. He was strictly a journeyman signal caller,
but with one outstanding physical asset: he had a strong arm and
could throw a long, long pass.
However, lead-footed quarterbacks are of little use to Coach
Ara Parseghian who is thinking seriously of showing his boys the
California palms around the first of next year. Talley got the reputa-
tion of being a goner if he wasn't able to find a free receiver upfield.
So there he sat last year,,watching Dick Thornton combine .both
passing and running talents to direct the entire Northwestern offensive
show.
But Thornton is no more. A broken ankle at the outset against
Iowa two weeks ago saw to that.
And Parseghian had to find out under game conditions which one
of three reserves could guide a potentially-powerful backfield.
There was Bob Eickhoff, a diminutive sophomore who could
p throw only a short pass and run fairly well. Chip Holcomb was a
Smaster of the intermediate pass and ran not at all well. Then came
Talley, supposedly a statue, but who threw the" ball into the end zone
if he was no more than 50 yards away.
All got their turns against the Hawkeyes and between the three
of them the job was accomplished, 14-10. Talley distinguished himself
nicely with a touchdown pass covering 74 yards.
e Last week, though, Talley and Holcomb had no luck against
e Minnesota. It took Eickhoff to lead the 'Cats on the ground late in
n the game to maintain a spotless record.
S Supply Dwindles...
. YESTERDAY, PARSEGHIAN must have been a victim of apoplexy
r when Eickhoff's injured shoulder gave out on his first pass attempt..
The quarterback supply was now down to two throwers, no runners.
e Holcomb got his chance the first'quarter and a half and led one
e TD drive. But he was far from sensational, leaving the way for quar-
a terback number two (by default)-Talley.
Quarterback number two was in the game to prove two things:
that he could move on foot in a forward direction if threatened bodily;
a and that he could throw the ball so far that Michigan defenders would
e see it only after it plopped into the arms of end-zone-bound receiver.!
e He did both so convincingly that this experienced bench warmer
e might now have the greatest responsibility for sending the Wildcats
Ithrough an unbeaten season.
He ran when he had to for vital yardage and he killed the Wol-
s verines with 25 seconds left in the first half on a 63-yard pass.
Baea" on a variation of the old Transcontinental play that Michi-
e gan ironically had once used to fine advantage, Talley's heave went
from the east sidelines on his own 35 to the west sidelines on about the
e Michigan 20. Mark Johnston hauled it in ahead of Stan Noskin and1
t Tony Rio and scampered away from both.
S Talley ,has specialized in this pass to the point where it's named!
"John's Pass" and is called for from the sidelines by Parseghian.
, Parseghian says picking his -quarteibacks for a given situation is
s like beckoning relief pitchers from a bullpen.
In that respect, ,he takes a back seat to neither Walt Alston or
Al Lopez.

LOOSE FOR THE MOMENT - Speedy Bennie McRae (43) cuts loose for a four-yd. gain against
Northwestern's stern defense. McRae, who saw limited action yesterday, carried the ball seven times
for 18 yards, and added valuable yards in the last Michigan drive that failed on the NU two-yard
line. After the sopholnore halfback are Wildcats Boyd Melvin (78) and Wayne Chamberlain (66).

he drive culminated with full-
ack Mike Stock's th r e e-y d.
lunge.
Confident that they could come
ack, the Cats successfully kicked
he extra point instead of a run
r pass.
But Michigan, with Elliott care-
illy shuffling his three teams in
nd out of the game, put a dam-
er on ALMOST every Wildcat
ope in the second period. The
Volverines forced their foes to
unt on two series of plays and
an out of downs on the other.
The lone exception was John-
;on's touchdown catch with just
5 seconds remaining in the half.
Hot Hand
Paraseghian had ben looking
>r "a quarterback with a hot
and" and used three passers in
ie search. The last one, John
alley, proved to be the best.
On his- first play, he lifted a
ng, cross-field pass over the
eads of Tony 'Rlo and Stan Nos-
n to his receiver on the 15-yd.
ne. Johnston scored untouched.
"Michigan's defensive slowness
as obvious," said the Wildcat
ach. "The idea was Just to race

someone down there and catch the
pass.'
Michigan was stunned by the
pass, but knew it was still in the
game as the teams took the half-
time break. The Wolverines were
not fighting a 43-point margin as
they did a year ago.
In that second half, they held
their opponent at bay time after
time. They foiled Northwestern's
next six drives by forcing loose
three fumbles, a punt, and two
series of plays to end.
Meanwhile, the Wolverines were

Noskin, whose hometown is Evan-
ston, guided a drive to the North-
western two-yd. line. But it wa,

Longest Since 1921
Two plays later, Purdin took a
pitchout and started toward the
left sideline. He picked up a coupl
of blockers, warded off a coupl
of potential tacklers (one had hold
on his leg) and raced 85 yards un-
harmed. It was Northwestern',
longest running play since 1921
The score was the insurance
that Parseghian had been waiting
for. Until then, he said, "We
haven't been so concerned about
a game all year." Northwestern
previously played such teams as
Oklahoma, Iowa and Minnesota
Michigan realized the situation
too, and in the final 41 minutes
it was just a matter of running
out the clock.

Odds and ends gathered from
various places at the Stadium
yesterday as 67,975 spectators
watched Michigan give the na-
tion's second-ranked football team
a' good scare:
Michigan won the pre-game toss'
and elected to kick off with the!
wind at its back. Darrell Harper's
kick carried into the Northwestern i
end zone, thus preventing a run-i
back.f
* * *
With 50 second to go in the first
half, Michigan kicked on a fourth-
and-two-inches situation from its#
29-yard line. Harper booted to thel
Wildcat 38, and on Northwestern's
first scrimmage play quarter John 4
Talley threw a perfect strike tot
halfback Mark Johnston for a 62-
yard touchdown that broke a 7-7
tie.
Why didn't Michigan elect to go
for the first down?
CoachBump Elliott: "It was my
decision. I didn't want to take a
chance on losing the ball so deep
in our territory."
Regardless of the territory be-
tween the Wildcats and the Michi-
gan goal line, they needed only one'
play to cover it all.
With 112 minutes to go' in the
game, a smattering of applause in
the Northwestern section indicated
that portable radios had given the.
result of the Purdue-Ohio State
game. Purdue's defeat left , the
Wildcats atop the heap alone.
A bevy of happy Northwestern
partisans, leaving via the Stadium
field tunnel after the game, was
singing the Wildcat fight song.
After the concluding chorus, one
of the fans shouted, "On to the
Rose Bowl!" His fellows gave im-
mediate assent.
Despite the defeat, Elliott was
"real proud" of Michigan's show-
ing. "It was our best game of the
season. Offensively we did very
well, especially down the middle.

But we just gave them two long
ones (62-yard TD pass and 85-I
yard run) and that was it."
* * *
There were an unusual number
of fumbles in the game (six by
Northwestern, three by Michigan).
Hard tackling was mostly respon-
sible for the frequent fumbling on
a dry field. One of Michigan's
most potent offensive weapons yes-
terday was the fumble recovery
(NU lost five of its six bobbles).
.* * *
Michigan is the only Conference
team that hasn't won at least one
league game, but the Big Ten's
leading punter is still booting
strong. Darrell Harper kicked five
times against the Wildcats for a
47-yard average.
Northwestern's leading ground-
gainers accounted for 212 yards
rushing. Fullback -Ray Purdin

gained 85 yards on one scoring
run and 32 yards on nine other
carries. Johnston ground out 95
yards in 21 chances.
During halftime, a Stadium at-
tendant efficiently ripped into
shreds a sign advertising a Union
dance. The sign-bearers quickly
dispersed into the stands and the
attendant was mildly booed. Ap-
parently, the Michigan State half-
time poster episode here two weeks.
ago has resulted .in a ban on
banners.
