Barber was struck first, running 55 yards to the Michigan 11 before tailback Glenn Lewis capped the drive with an 11-yard touchdown run. BUT WOOLFOLK was not to be out- done. On the next series of plays, he took a Dickey handoff, broke tackles on the right side and sailed past lunging Gopher defenders in for the deciding score. Woolfolk described how the in- surance score unfolded. "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 saw goal line." It's a good thing he did or the Michigan Wolverines might not be sit- ting pretty on top of the Big Ten today. l Jolly day for some defenders, ut Carlso By BILLY SAHN "YOU CAN'T do that t can move the ball like Schembechler added.

This week 7 7 7-21 it was defensive back Mike Jolly, 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 >.I##4l1# ti. . ...3.:................rt illtr' ,f f .Fl ;"i
