WILDCAT DEFENSE YIELDS 626 YARDS o-surprise- Wolverines roll, 59-14 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 See ENOUGH, Page 10 U.S. AND SHAH SNOW See editorial page I t::3i High-.4os See Today for details o LXXXIX, No. 58 Ann Arbor, Michigan-Sunday, November 12, 1978 Ten Cents Ten Pages plus Supplement etroit is ushed as 1onvention ite in '80 By RICHARD BERKE As a boost for Detroit's renaissance, te political leaders from both parties ant to see the Motor City host their 80 national conventions.

About 60 foreign correspondents were invited to the briefing but none was able to get in because police had ringed the house. Police ordered the journalists to leave the area, saying their presence and the news conference were in violation of martial law. DARIUSH FOROUCHER, the National Front's chief spokesman in Iran, was arrested along with Sanjaby. Religious dissidents, particulary leaders of the Moslem Shiite sect, have been spearlWading the anti-gover- nment drive. They are opposed to the shah's Westernizing reforms and have been joined by the political opposition, which wants a democratic liberalization of the shah's autocratic rule. Alll universities have been shut down indefinitely to prevent students from using campuses as staging areas for anti-shah protests. Newspaper editors and journalists have refused to work under the censorship ordered by the military government and the country has been without newspapers since Monday. There were unconfirmed reports that Ayatullah Khomaini had called a general strike for today in an effort to test the new military government's strength. By JULIE ENGEBRECHT 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." cannot build a successful when you have 260 kids and take 196 on the road," he expla "Thngs like that have play resignation.

Diggs likely to Arnson likely to stay MSA chief, BY MARK PARRENT Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) President Eric Arnson will apparently retain his office whatever the final outcome of a suit by MSA member Irving Freeman challenging the constitutionality of Arnson's election. 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 as: an at-large representative to MSA was set to expire later this month. Since v " lose comni DETROIT (UPI)-Rep.
