WILDCAT DEFENSE YIELDS 626 YARDS

By PAUL CAMPBELL
Special to The Daily
EVANSTON - Call it what you will a
teak from the competitive rigors of big-time
ollege football, a working vacation for the
ichigan players, or a bad practical joke on the
orthwestern alumni returning for
omecoming.
It certainly wasn't a football game, as the
olverines methodically destroyed the Wildcats
9-14 yesterday before 27,013 chilled and
eerless patrons.
rWhatever it was, the lopsided win only set the stage for
ichigan's dramatic season climax, coming up the next two
Saturdaysagainst Purdue and Ohio State. Those two games
still mean everything to the Wolverines' chances for a Big
Ten title and a third consecutive Rose Bowl bid.
"It still is in our hands," said Bo Schembechler after the
game. "A game like this doesn't show us much, because we
ran right through them. We're still going to have to work
damn hard to get ready for next week."
Schembechler had said all-week that he planned to use
the Northwestern game to get his offense moving. The
Wildcat defense, playing like patched-up tissue paper, did
little to hamper that goal.
Michigan scored the first five times it got the ball on
drives of 80, 79, 75, 71, and 59 yards, rolling to a 35-14 halftime
lead. By the end of the game, the Wolverines had turned nine
of their twelve possessions into scores - eight touchdowns
and Gregg Willner's fourth field goal of the year.
THE OFFENSIVE totals were Michigan's highest of the
year - 626 total yards, 470 yards on the ground, and a
whopping 37 first downs.
"We didn't even run the option that much," noted
Schembechler. "Basically, all we did was hand off the ball
and block."
Quarterback Rick Leach, who played a part in his team's
first four scoring plays, led the assault once again by hitting
all six passes he tried. On the way, he left school, conference,
and NCAA records in his wake.
TWO MINUTES into the second quarter, Leach zipped a
pass to Ralph Clayton and the junior wingback sped
untouched for a 41-yard score. It made the score 21-7, and it
made Leach the all-time Big Ten leader in total offense.
Five minutes later, Leach upped the Wolverines' lead to
28-7, breaking two tackles on his way to a 12-yard touchdown.
It was the 74th regular season touchdown he accounted for at
Michigan, moving him past Arizona State's Danny White as
the most prolific six-point man in NCAA history.
Leach gave the stat freaks one final thrill on Michigan's
first possession of the second half, waltzing in from five
yards for Michigan's sixth score. It was the 34th time Leach
had found the end zone on the running play. That's one more
than the previous leader - all-time Michigan wonder back
Tom Harmon.
LEACH HAD MADE his only mistake of the game three
plays before the touchdown that broke Harmon's record.
Only five yards from the end zone, Leach rolled right, turned
upfield and fumbled the ball into the hands of Northwestern's
Chuck Rogers.
"Besides the fumble, I played a flawless game," Leach
commented. Schembechler agreed that his prized pupil, who

As a boost for Detroit's renaissance,

ant to see the Motor City host their
80 national conventions.
Meanwhile, University officials and

yenthusiasts.
DETROIT PASSES the first test for
hoosing a convention because of
lichigan's approval of the Equal

Since the Democrats are supporting

Despite the fact they back ERA, GOP
aders haven't yet taken a stand on the
ycott. None-the-less, the prospects of
Republican convention in an
nratified state are limited, as it would
arry political risks.
MICHIGAN Republicans also see the
tate's political composition as a selling

"We will not win the presidency nor

After 26 years with the University's
Marching Band, Conductor George
Cavender says "it's time to let
somebody else take the job."
But three factors in addition to the
need for, a change probably played
some part in his decision to leave the
band. Discontentment with a Big Ten
rule allowing only 196 band members at
the Rose Bowl, and, according to
students, differences with some of the
people with whom he works, 'both con-
tributed to his choice this past summer
to spend fall afternoons doing
something else.
ANOTHER REASON for his
disillusionment with the job, Cavender
told a reporter in September, was the
Athletic Department's decision to move
Band Day to a non-football Saturday.
However, in a conversation yesterday,
Cavender denied this played a role in
his .decision to retire. He said the new
Band Day should be a fine program in
the future, if "handled correctly."
The popular band leader is resigning
after working for over a quarter of a
century on half-time entertainment and
band musicianship. He will assume a
new post directing development and
public relations for the School of Music.
But, whatever the reason, some pand
members are not quite clear, why
Cavender is leaving. Sophomore band
member Sandy Shatz said, "The band
is uptight about the whole thing. No one
has quite been told why he's retiring."
SEVERAL MEMBERS of the band,
however, suggested strained relation-
ships with Don Canham, athletic direc-
tor, and H. Robert Reynolds, director of
University bands, were among con-
siderations in Cavender's decision to
step down.
Also, Cavender said he "violently
disagrees" with the Big Ten
band size at the Rose Bowl."

President Eric Arnson will apparently

The suit charged a student
government constitutional amendment
changing the selection process for
president from appointment by MSA to
election by the students was not yet in
effect at the time of Arnson's election
last April.
AS A SAFEGUARD, Arnson obtained
MSA support for a resolution
appointing him president under the old
procedures so that, regardless of the
disposition of Freeman's suit, he would
be able to stay in office.
The problem was that Arnson's term

was set to expire later this month. Since
