Sunday, October 17, 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page N rye Sunday, October 17, 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nin~& M Michigan Glenn Doughty! It's about time F OR THE FIRST time in six weeks Glenn Doughty didn't go to bed nungry on Saturday night. Don't worry though. It's not that the Den of the Mellow Men has been short of groceries this season. Doughty's appetite is for touchdowns, not food, and until yesterday's game he just didn't get a chance to satisfy it, While his three touchdown performance against Illinois doesnt satiate his appetite it'll go a long way to ease the pangs and Doughty showed it. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time," he admitted as he lounged in front of his locker after the game. "I haven't had a piece of the end zone in a long time and it tasted real good." After a five week fast it should have. Except for two aborted attempts at the end of the Michigan State game Doughty didn't get a good chance to score. In fact, he rarely got a chance to carry the ball and it clearly bothered him. A wingback is supposed to run from scrimmage and catch passes. But Doughty spent most of his time blocking for Bill Taylor and while he would be the last person to deny Taylor his fame Doughty wanted a piece of the action. After the Navy game he stated that he felt he should carry the ball about 12 times a game and catch five or six passes. But in the first five Michigan outings he ran from scrimmage only 18 times and hauled in only nine passes. "Schembechler used me like a fullback," Doughty com- plained. "I'm number two fullback. The main thing is for Michigan to win, but I want to have some kind of part in the scaring.,, He finally got his chance yesterday and he took it, rushing for 48 yards, catching for 19 more and scoring three touchdowns. "Today Ro gave mne a shot," Doughty stated, "and you can't hesitate when you have a chance." It was about time, as everyone, including Illinois coach Bob Blackman was wondering when Doughty would get a chance to explode. "I can't imagine not using someone like that with three years of experience and that much quickness," Blackman stated. "You've got to use him a lot." Actually Schembechler does use Doughty quite a bit, but not as a scoring threat. As Glenn is quick to admit, the Michi- gan offense is 'such that several players could do the scoring. But someone has to block and Doughty is tjle best offensive blocker on the team. Taylor calls him "the best blocking back anywhere" and constantly refers to his great skill in clearing the way for the runners. The Wolverines have plenty of runners and receivers, but blocking backs are hard to find. So Doughty isn't used that much doing things that others can do. But Schembechler never forgets that Glenn is an offensive threat. "He's Mr. Versatility for us," Bo says. "He fits in at many positions." Doughty knows that his blocking skill is appreciated. But after starting his first five games at Michigan at tail- back he can't quite get scoring out of his system. He likes to hit people so he doesn't mind blocking, but adds that, "I just want the opportunity to do something with the ball. I was glad to get the chance against Illinois and I hope it continues." It may not, so Doughty enjoyed it while he could. As he entered the endzone for the third time, he turned and waved to Illinois defender Willie Osley, an old friend from high school days in Detroit. "I knew he was behind me so I waved," Doughty explained. He also enjoyed his second touchdown as it represented revenge for his failure to score against Michigan State. At State he ran the power off-tackle play twice from the one without getting in. This week he also tried twice, but entered the endzone on the second attempt. There had been a mix up in the block- ing at State and the team worked on the play during the week. There were mistakes again this week on the first try but Schmbechler called it again because, "It failed twice up at MSU and I'm a stubborn man." About the only thing that Doughty didn't like about yes- terday's game was the, way it started. "It reminded me of the Missouri game in 1969," he said remembering the game opening horrors. "I thought it was a dream, I just didn't believe it." But the Wolverines snapped out of their daze before the end of the first quarter and Doughty entered a more pleasant dream world at the start of the second as he scored his first touchdown of the season. Tom Slade hit him at the goal line in heavy traffic and though Illini defenders were waiting Doughty forced his way into the endzone with obvious glee. The game improved for Doughty as he scored his other touchdowns and he left the field in the fourth quarter ecstat' "I'm really glad Eo did what he did today," he exclaimed. "I just hope that it's not just for today only." overpowers stubborn Ilinois; By TERRI FOUCHEY Seeing Tom Slade arop back to pass on the first play of yester- day's game with Illinois was some- thing of a surprise to most Mich- igan fans. But it was nothing compared to the shock they felt when Willie Osley picked off the pass and ran it back to the Mich- igan. 12 yard line. For the first time during the home season, the fans had to wor- ry about what' the team was do- ing rather than when they would get their turn with the Boone's Farm. Their fears of that, moment were not unfounded. Three plays Ilater another first occurred as the Illini scored with little ap- parent resistance and the Wol- verines ' were behind. After two one-yard gains by John Wilson and George Uremovich, Wilson swept to the left while Michigan went to the right and reached the end zone untouched. At 1:23 into the first quarter there appeared to be good cause for . worry. This concern was heightened two plays after the en- sug Ig4ekoff which Harry Banks had some trouble fielding. Alan Walker fumbled the pitchout as he rounded left end and Larry Huisinga recovered on the Mich- igan 14 yard line. The defense was called upon to prevent the bad dream from be- coming a recurring ailment. With luck in the form of a ques- tionable penalty and a squibbed field goal attempt -the guardians of the end zone's sanctity success- fully suppressed the threat of any more sacreligious behavior. Quarterback Mike Wells flicked a short pass over the line to John Dough ty Mich Ill TOTAL FIRST DOWNS 22 8 Rushing 18 3 Passing 4 3 Penalty 0 2 SUNDAY SPORTS NIGHT EDITORS: SANDI GENIS and JIM EPSTEIN Bedalow, who easily wound his way to the end zone. As Michigan fans w a t c h e d certain rosy thoughts became blurred, the of- ficials cleared the smog with an ineligible receiver call ;on the Illini. This brought the ball back to the Michigan 28 with a second down and 24 yards to go. After a substantial gain on the draw play, Illinois eschewed the chancy six and went for the safe three. Wells squibbed this one and the horrible three minutes were over. Regarding the ineligible receiv- er call, Illinois coach Bob Black- man said, "It's absolutely ridicu- lous to call ineligible receiver on a play like that. They had a man lined up directly opposite our cen- ter and he just fired out to block and missed." Starting on their own 20,. the Wolverines moved to midfield be- fore stalling. On the subsequent series, the Illini moved well in their own territory and a pass in- terference call on Michigan gave them first and ten on their 49.. It was then, however, that the Michigan defense reverted to its usual stinginess. On the first play they allowed no gain and on the second, the Y did it! entire line jolted Darrell Robinson as he took Wells' handoff. Butch Carpenter won the race to the fumble at the Illinois 37. Sticking to the ground, the Wol- verines moved to the 25. On a third and ten r8lade, back to pass and seeing no one open, ran, and with the aid of Bo Rather's block at the 20, scooted in between the last two Illinois defenders for ,the touchdown. The spark had been lit and the assault began in earnest. Tom Darden returned Terry Mksar's punt 47 yards to the Illinois 24, with Masar making the taekle to save the touchdown.' The aerial attack took credit for the next Wolverine"touchdown. Two Slade passes to"Paul Seymour moved,.Michigan to the, 19.' Then Slade rolled to hisetat antpassed to Glenn Doughty at the goal line. and Doughty fell through the de- fenders on him for his first touch- down of the season. Beginning at their own 37 the next time, and letting the run- ning game earn this one, the Wol- verines moved 63 yards in 10 plays. Billy Taylor swept to the right from the Illinois 11, bounc- ed off one tackler at the seven, and went in for the score. The third quarter featured the defenses, as the closest either team came to scoring was a miss- ed field goal by Michigan. - Butch Carpenter, whose fum- ble recovery led to the first Wol- verine touchdown, provided the crowd with some more heroics. fe enlivened an otherwise dull period by getting Wells for con- secutive losses totalling 22 yards. The Wolverines rested them- selves in the third quarter while continuing to wear down the Illini defensive line. They were quite ready to help Doughty appease his hunger for the end zone. With Taylor and Ed Shuttles- worth providing the running to keep Illinois honest, Slade passed twice to Doughty for large gains. The second pass went to the three yard line and _it was time to try the play which didn't work last week against Michigan State in the waning seconds. Doughty went for two on his first try and then went through the same spot for his second touchdown. Michigan coach Bo Schembec- ler said regarding Doughty's sec- ond touchdown, "I ran the play twice at Michigan State and I'm a stubborn man. We were going to run that play twice today." Doughty, having tasted a little, still wanted more, and he got it with help from Bruce Ell#ott's 36 yard punt return to the' Illinois 36 yard line. Doughty went through the line '-for two, then Fritz Sey- ferth matched this total to the 32. From there, Doughty took a pitchout around the left, cut back after a block from Seyferth on the 27, and then outran the last two Illini defenders to the endzone. While Doughty was having a red-letter day, the rest of the Wolverines did not appear consist- ently up to the form which they and their fans have become ac- customed to. Schembechler sum- med up the prevailing attitude. "It is nice to have a game where you don't play as well as you can and still win 35-6." It's very nice, and helps prevent ulcers. -Daily-Tom Gottlieb MICHIGAN CORNERBACK Bruce Elliott (21) does a premature jig in preparation for his birthday today as he watches the ball (arrow) sail past intended receiver Garvin Roberson in yester- day's 35-6 Wolverine victory.

Illinois head football coach Bob Blackman, hired away from Dartmouth last year, was asked after yesterday's 35-6 defeat to Michigan if the worst is over yet. Blackman, whose Illini have lost six straight games by the combined score.of 187=30, un- hesitatingly said, "Nope." The question was asked be- cause, of Illinois' six opponents this year, six were included in somebody's pre-season top twen- ty in the nation. The way Illi- nois'started the seasonit almost deserved to be ranked out of the top twenty in the Big Ten. Nobody realizes as much as Blackman how horrendous Illi- nois has looked. Even yesterday, when Illinois took a quick 6-0 lead, Blackman admitted his team was lucky. "We got some breaks early and we should have capitalized on two of them and we didn't," he said. "When you're playing a football team that, you know. is better than you are you have to have some breaks." Last year;' Blackman didn't need any breaks be c a us e his Dartmouth squad was the better team each week., The Indians w h i p p e d thiough their Ivy schedule and finished as the 14th ranked team xii the coun- try. In 22 years as a college coach before this season, Black- man's teams' had 'won' 150, lost 49 and tied six. Blackman's Dartmouth teams were known for their compli- cated offensive and defensive systems, and his attempts to teach them to the Illini were Rushing Att Gai Bedalow Navarrs a Loss Net TD Je.nkins Taylor 22 103 0 103 1 Wilson Seyferth 5 15 0 15 0 Roberson Doughty 6 48 0 48 2!TOTALS Slade 9 39 11 28 1p Walker 3 11 3 80 huttlesworth 12 62 0 62 0 Masar WISCONSIN EDGES MSU: No Yds 1 3 1 3 1 11 1 -2 1 16 5 31 Punting No Yds 11 450 TD 0 0 0 0 0 0 Long 3 3 11 16 Avg Long 40.9 57 Late Purdue blitz shocks Northwestern By The Associated Press EVANSTON - Otis Armstrong ran 81 yards for a touchdown on the second play from scrim- mage but Purdue had to rally for two fourth quarter touchdowns yesterday to deal Northwestern a 21-20 Big Ten football defeat. Darryl Stingley's 14-yard run with 1:30 left on the clock a n d Mike Renie's conversion lifted the Boilermakers to their third straight Big Ten triumph in as many games. Northwestern is now 2-2 in Big Ten play. Stingley's touchdown jaunt was set up by a desperation 41-yard pass by Steve Burke to end Rick Sayers. Northwestern went into the fourth quarter leading 20-7 but Charlie Potts intercepted Mau- rie Daigneau's pass and returned 17 yards to the Northwestern 16. Armstrong and Burke moved the ball to the one-yard line and Ron North bulled over for the touch- down. Daigneau, however, had a hand in all three Northwestern touch- downs. He set up the first score in the second quarter with a 15- yard pass to Barry Pearson a n d three plays later Jim Flash scored from the two yard line. The extra point kick failed and Northwest- ern trailed 7-6. The next time the Wildcats got the ball they moved 68 yards for a touchdown and Daigneau h i t Pearson with a 15-yard pass to the one yard line before Al Robinson crashed over for the touchdown. A two-point pass play from Daig- neau to Steve Craig made it 14v- 6 for Northwestern. Spartans bow MADISON - Roger Jaeger kicked a 30-yard field goal with 5:15 left yesterday to lift Wis- consin to a 31-28 victory o v e r Michigan State in a see-saw Big Ten football game. Jaeger's boot-capped a 69-yard march, sparked by Neil Graff's 39- yard pass to Tim Klosek, and ruin- ed a brilliant performance by Michigan State's Eric The Fle a Allen. Allen ran for touchdowns of 56 and six yards, set up another score and rushed 21 times f o r 247 yards, 21 short of Clint, Jones' school record of 268 yards against Iowa in 1966. Allen's 44-yard run set up a three-yard touchdown run by Jim Bond which pulled Michigan State into a 28-28 tie- early in t h e fourth quarter. It was Wisconsin's second Big Ten victory against one loss, and the Badgers improved their over- all record to 3-2-1. The Spartans, 1-2 in the conference and 2-4 on the year, played without regular quarterback Frank Kolch, who, was left behind with--a knee in- Jury. * * * Bucks ream BLOOMINGTON -- Fullback Randy Keith scored two touch- downs and Fred- Schram booted two field goals yesterday to lead No. 13 Ohio State to a 27-7 Big Ten football victory over Indiana. Quarterback Don Lamka scored another touchdown as the Buck- eyes remained unbeaten in con- ference play with a 3-0 record. * The -Hoosiers' only score came early in the third period, when fullback Ken St. Pierre ran 21 yards through the middle for a touchdown. An Ohio State fumble set up the Indiana score. The Buckeyes scored on- their first series of downs in the open- ing 'period, after a -pass interfer- ence call placed the ball on t h e Hoosier 24-yard line. Greg Hare, in at quarterback for O h i o State, ran the ball to the 15-yard line and three plays later, w i t h Lamka back in split end, D i c k Wakefield took a pass at the three-yard line. Keith then took a handoff from Lamka and ran through the mid- dle for the touchdown. Schram's extra point gave the Buckeyes a 7-0 lead. Gophers golden IOWA CITY - Minnesota con- verted a late Iowa fumble into the deciding touchdown yesterday to escape with a 19-14 Big Ten football victory over the winless and mistake-prone Hawkeyes. Ernie Cook's one-yard run pro- vided the go-ahead score with 5:50 to play and' capped a six-play, 28- yard drive started when Scott Ir- win recovered a Frank Sunderman fumble at the Iowa 25. Cook's touchdown came on a°fourth down and one-yard play. The victory left Minnesota 3-3 overall and 2-1 in the conference and dropped Iowa and new coach given much of the credit for the poor record. Still, it was a relatively com- plex play that resulted in Illt nois' only touchdown yesterday. "That was on a triple forma- tion," Blackman said, "with three flankers off to one side." Halfback John Wilson then took the ball, ran past the blitzing Tom., Darden. and scampered un- molested into the end zone. "We hadn't used that specific play this year, although we did use similar ones," he said. Mostly, however, Blackman's style of play has seemed to get his players, used to a simple style of football, into trouble. But Blackman denies that his players are not as smart as the ones at Dartmouth, which every- body knows is the Harvard of New Hampshire. "We're used to working with real intelligent fellows in the Ivy League, but at Illinois we've got players who are straight A stu- dents," he said. "Being a good football' player comes'mostly by instinct. Ithink' things will get better with more time and experience. Of course," he adds, "it helps if you have backs as big and strong as the opposition." Blackman is a cheerful loser and it may be because he knows he can't be blamed since he wasn't given much to work with. "Considering our personnel," he said, "our kids played as well as they could." A distinguished, white-haired man, Blackman looks the part of an Ivy Leaguer. He doesn't dress conservatively enough to be a banker, but he might be mistaken for a successful insur- ance broker-or even a 'friendly Ivy League college president.. Pretty soon, Blackman hopes to be a friendly Big Ten cham- pion football coach. His team is young, and Blackman is obvi- ously building for the future, a task made difficult by Illinois' schedule. "I can't imagine anybody try- ing to build with such a tough schedule," Michigan coach Bo Schembechler said after the game. Building is a slow process, and Blackman must be a patient man, for he is surely sacrificing present victories. At least, Mich- Igan defensive end Butch Car- penter thinks so. "If they would quit making m 1rst a k e s, they would be a mutl jbetter team," Carpenter said.. ".Their coach has got them using too many forma- tions." The complex Illirii formations -48 of them exist-did not fool Michigan very much yesterday- "-We knew before the game that they had 48 formations, but they used' the same plays with each of them," Carpenter' said. "They d d most of the stuff we were practicing for this week," his teammate Tom D a r d e n added. ' .But, apparently for Blackman, instilled with' traditional New England virtues, the important thing is not' whether you execute properly, but how you play the game. "Much as I hate to lose," he said, "I don't mind losing when the players go all out during the whole game. They must be able to keep their self-respect and I think in the last two weeks our boys have tried all the way." All the way means right down to the final gun, even when your team is losing by 29 points. As the clock ticked off the last sec- onds of yesterday's game, the pla yer s on Illinois' -bench watched as their teammates tried to down a punt before it bounced into the Miqhigan end zone. Whether the punt became a touchback or not meant nothing, but the Illini didn't care. They screamed encouragement to their speeding teammates' s t as though the game were in the balance. Blackman has ahvays been that competitive- When he first came to Illinois, people predicted Big Ten pressure would quicl-y make him homesick for New England. Blackman disagrees. Some people say preparing for Ohio State or Michigan is just' a whole new world, but at Dartmouth, when we prepared for Princeton or Yale or Har- vard we would practice just as hard. The only thing is that in the Big 'IDen the material is bet- ter." Especially at Michigan. "They h a v e tremendous quickness," Blackman said of the Wolver- ines. "It's hard to imagine a team with more size and speed." Blackman should know. He's a Dartmouth man. :. .} "::1""" I "" " "" - t;":':%'i:':.": '" Y 4t }}JJ:":":Li{ N.J:t:.:.:.:"}(a: YA' 't".V."::.".L ":A4 ". VAY. 4:Y 4"X1.*": Lt :":. ::: N.
