took a Dickey handoff, broke tackles on

"I remember getting a tremendous
block from the frontside tackle, I think
it was big Ed Muransky," recalled
Woolfolk. "And I made a cut around
Doug Marsh's block. From there I just

It's a good thing he did or the

14 0 7-31 JOLLY CAME up with two key inter-
n spoils ft f
ceptions in the game. But these heroics
were partially offset by a pass inter-
ference call while Jolly was covering
Gopher Elmer Bailey.
Carlson's 22-yard touchdown pass at-
tempt to Bailey was incomplete but the
official tabbed the 6-314, 185 defender
for interference. The penalty gave
Minnesota the ball on the Michigan one
yard line which resulted in the Gopher's
first score of the afternoon.
"I didn't even see the play," said
Jolly. "I saw Bailey's eyes get wider so
I knew the ball was on the way. I just
stood there.
"Later, the ref told Mac (Bill McCar-
tney, Michigan's defensive coor-
dinator) that I was guarding the man
and not looking at the ball. But we were
on a man-to-man defense. It's a
judgement call," Jolly concluded.
BUT THE TWO interceptions were
something to savor. The first coming in
the first quarter broke up a Minnesota
drive on second and nine on the Min-
nesota 25-yard line. A Bryan Virgil field
goal resulted from this turnover.
The second came on the Michigan 25
on a third and five pass play. It was
or others
pure concentration as Jolly picked it off
while on the -ground. The Wolverines
then took over, driving 75 yards for
their second score of the game to make
it a 17-7 game.
Throughout the game, Jolly covered
Bailey like a blanket as he also broke up
two passes.
"I HAD BAILEY all over the field,"
remarked the senior. "When he went
inside, I would come underneath and
try to pick the ball off. It was pretty
hard because Carlson threw high where
it's tough to get my hands up there on
the ball.
"Bailey and I became pretty good
friends out there for not knowing each
other. He came up and congratulated
me after the game," Jolly continued.
Yet Jolly was disappointed that the
defense gave up three touchdowns.
What's worse, they allowed the op-
position to tally over 300 yards passing.
An "off"-day maybe for the defense
as a whole. Even Jolly with two
brilliant interceptions must contend
with an interference penalty. But as
long as the good outweighs the bad as it
does in Jolly's case, the Wolverine
defense can live with that.

The offense was awesome, or at least much better than it had been all
season, but Michigan couldn't put the Gophers away. I can hear my soccer
coach saying, 'I told you so.' Too many times Michigan missed opportunities
or made key mistakes.
I knew I should have listened to my soccer coach. No wonder I never
started very much and we had a great record.

Orioles bomb
Pirates'
sinking
ship, 9-6
By KEITH RICHBURG
and MICHAEL ARKUSH
Special to The Daily
PITTSBURGH - The Pirates'
ship is slowly sinking, and it will
take a mutiny by the Buccaneers to
hijack the high-flying Baltimore
Orioles.
The Cardiac Kids from Baltimore
did it again yesterday, this time
scoring six times in the eighth inning
to steal a 9-6 victory in the fourth
game of the World Series.
"WE BATTLED back a lot this
year. We look for one big inning and'
we've never given up before," said
Orioles' outfielder Ken Singleton.
The win gave them a commanding
3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series
and a chance to wrap up the cham-
pionship today. They will unleash
their ace - and the major's win-
ningest pitcher - Mike Flanagan
(23-9) against Jim Rooker (4-7).
so I sent Smith up first because he
has the least experience as a pinch-
hitter. I figured that would give us
two shots," said Weaver.
Crowley's two-run double capped
the explosion, rescuing the Birds
from a 6-3 deficit. Kiko Garcia, who
belted a key three-"run triple in
Friday's game, led off the inning
with a base hit and went to second on
Singleton's single. Eddie Murray
then grounded into a force out, sen-
ding Garcia to third. Doug DeCinces
was intentionally walked, becoming
the first player to walk four times in
a Series game since 1952.
That was enough for Pirate
manager Chuck Tanner. He brought
in ace reliever Kent Tekulve to
replace Jim Bibby. But even
Tekulve, who recorded 31 saves this
year, couldn't contain the Birds' on-
slaught. Lowenstein immediately
rocked Tekulve with a two-run
year-old Stoddard.
Just as they did in Friday's game,
the Pirates started out on high
ground, taking an early 4-0 lead in
the second inning. Willie Stargell
the only starter on either team who
played in the '71 Series, walloped his
second home run of the Series. John
Milner singled to right, and he
moved to third on Bill Madlock's
ground rule double. Ed Ott then
drove home both of them with
another ground rule double.
Ott was tagged out in a run-down
between third and home when- he
tried to score on Phil Garner's single
to center. Garner advanced to
second during the run-down.
Weaver yanked starter Dennis
Martinez in favor of Sammy Stewart
(8-5). Stewart got Bibby to line out,
but gave up a run-scoring single to
Omar Moreno, making it 3-0.
Stewart then picked Moreno off first
