By FRANK LONGO For the second week in a row the Big Ten failed to break ev- en in non-conference play, win- ning only three of ten games Saturday after having posted a 2-6-1 won-lost-tied record a week ago. Only Michigan, Michigan State, and Northwestern emerg- ed from this week's battles un- scathed. Everyone else went down to defeat, including Ohio State, which was upset by Colo- rado 20-14. Colorado quarterback Ken Johnson ran six yards for one touchdown and Cliff Branch returned a punt 68 yards for another to give the Buffaloes a 13-0 halftime lead. The score re- mained the same until the fourth quarter when, after the two quarterbacks traded touch- down runs, OSU's Don Lamka threw a 12-yard TD pass to Rick Middleton. The Buckeyes were within six points and with only 2:11 left to play, went for the onside kick. Fred Schram kicked off and Ohio State did recover the ball but officials ruled that it had not gone the required ten yards. "Films show the ball defin- itely was on the 50," Buckeye coach Woody Hayes said later. "I didn't think it was going to make it, but suddenly it took a little hop over the line." In another thriller, Purdue was nipped by Notre Dame in the closing minutes, 8-7. The Boilermakers were trying to hang onto a 7-0 lead with just under three minutes left to play. A snap from center on an at- tempted punt was low and Notre Dame defensive end Fred Swendsen recovered the fumble in the end zone for the Irish touchdown. A two point conversion fol- lowed and Notre Dame's unde- feated record remained intact. Wisconsin suffered its first loss of the season to 16th- ranked Louisiana State 38-28. The Badgers put up a good fight rolling up 405 yards against LSU's usually unrelent- ing defense. But the Tigers gained 586 of their own as quar- terback Paul Lyons ran for three touchdowns and passed for another. Wisconsin closed to within three points at 31-28 with over nine minutes remain- ing in the game when Rufus "Roadrunner" Ferguson scored his second touchdown. But LSU immediately turned around by marching 80 yards in 12 plays to put it out of reach. The Badgers evened their re- cord at 1-1-1 after beating Nor- thern Illinois andn tying Syra- cuse. Next week they open their conference schedule in Evans- ton against Northwestern. Meanwhile, in Iowa City the Hawkeyes were demolished by Penn State 44-14. Franko Har- ris scored four touchdowns for the Nittany Lions as he and his teammates rushed for 459 yards. Penn State moved up to ninth plance in the nation. New coach Frank Lauterbur had a 23-game winning streak while at Toledo but is now head- ing in the other direction. Iowa has the worst defense in the Big Ten, giving up 43 points and almost 500 yards a game. Illinois also lost its third consecutive game, but although the Illini have shown they can hold the opposition to a respec- table number of points, they have a little trouble scoring their own. So far Illinois has lost 10-0 to Michigan State, 27- 0 to North Carolina, and Sat- urday succumbed to Southern California 28-0. Things can't get much worse. We're number two.. . ... so -what else is new? THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES are a bunch of imposters. After winning their first three games by a collective score of 115-6 theydhave everyone convinced that they are a great team. But don't make the same mistakes that the polls did. Ac- cording to their coach Bo Schembechler, the Wolverines are not a great team. However wait a few weeks before convening the firing squad because Schembechler didn't say that they won't be great, just that there are a couple of minor difficulties to work out first. And every indication points to these problems rapidly disappear- ing. While Schembechler is still too cautious to predict im- mortality for his squad, it does seem that he is letting his guard down a little. He still makes statements like "I don't look at us as a championship ball club yet", or "We've got to be better than we are now to be a champion." But he quickly follows these with "we're making progress" and "we're coming in the right'direction." It might pain Michigan's future opponents, but when Bo says that the Wolverines are going to get better they'd better listen. About the only comfort which can be offered to those un- lucky enough to have Michigan on their schedules is that the Wolverines defense won't be thatmuch better. The defenders just can't improve their act very much without risking manslaughter charges and even Schembechler is satisfied with their perform- ance. "The defense has really come along," he concedes. In fact about the only defensive problem Schembechler has right now is what to do with Fred Grambau. Grambau was slated to start at defensive tackle but was injured during practice and missed the opener. Sophomore Dave Gallagher stepped in and as Schembechler admits, "Gallagher has played real well. He's got a lot of moxie for a sophomore and he's a smart football player.'' Since Grambau can also play middle guard it's not a tragedy that Gallagher is doing so well, but unfortunately for Grambau Walt Sexton and Greg Ellis have shown that they don't really need help in the middle. So Grambau is temporarily out of a job, but he needn't worry about playing time. Schembechler plans to use him at both positions anyway. "Grambau is quick and good," Bo commented. "Our staff has high regard for him." The offensive problems aren't all that simple, but at least one is similar. A one quarterback coach, Schembechler has found that he has three good ones and ,isn't really sure what to do about it. Kevin Casey has led the team to three victories in as many starts. But the number-two man Tom Slade has looked impres- sive in his appearances. According to Bo he has "taken the team in to score every time." Slade hasn't gotten into the games until they were decided, but this situation could change. "Slade is a good option quarterback," asserts Schembech- ler. "He fell behind Casey with tonsilitis and an injury, but has been improving steadily. We wouldn't be hurt playing with Slade and there'll come a time when he'll play." If this isn't enough to put pressure on Casey, Bo is also pleased with his number three man, Larry Cipa. Cipa has the strongest arm of the trio, but missed a year with a knee injury and still has some catching up to do. For the moment Casey is the man. But he'll have to keep the team moving better to keep Slade on the bench. Schembechler wasn't completely pleased with their performance in the third quarter of Saturday's game. Even though he intended to play conservatively he feels that the offense could have been more forceful. "We should have gained more yardage against UCLA," he commented. It made me mad that we didn't get field position in the third quarter. We should have controlled the ball better." But Bo isn't really worried about the offense. "Our progress is good," he states, "and we're starting to move." He also isn't worried that his team will suffer a let down against the less than imposing Navy team. "We're not really worried about Navy," he admits, "our strategy is to be a better team this week than last week. Navy is a disciplined outfit and they will hustle and hit, but we'd have to help them to beat us." His only concern about the Navy game is that his starters probably won't see action in the second half, but if they continue to improve half as much as he thinks they will they may never have to play a second half again. -Daily-Jim Wallace MICHIGAN LINEBACKER Dana Coin (36) and defensive end Mike Keller (90) sandwich UCLA's Kermit Johnson, while safety- man Toni Darden (35) moves in for a piece of the action. Mich- igan's defense turned in a stellar performance in Saturday's 38-0 rout of the Bruins, and climbed to the second spot in the national rankings.
