Tuesday, October 19, 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY voge Nine Tuesday, October 191 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Bu gs The Michigan football team is lucky that dreams don't last very long. Because if they did, Illinois could have won last Saturday's game, As the contest opened, it ap- peared that the Wolverines were in the middle of a terrible nightmare. It seemed impos- sible that they could make that many mistakes that quick, but after the first five minutes the Illini led by six points and it should have been by 14 points. "I couldn't believe the start of that game," remembered coach Bo Schembechler. "It couldn't have been worse. You couldn't believe our first five plays. In those five plays Michi- gan gained but three yards and turned the ball over twice. Tom Slade threw an interception on the first play of the game and don't stop "I!, machine - out to lunch mort noveck 'I Alan Walker lost a pitch when The Wolverines got the ball back after Illinois' touchdown. But bad dreams end as quick- ly as the good ones and the Wolverines rapidly recovered enough to easily defeat Illinois 35-6. When the final stats were in Michigan had gained 355 yards and given up only 83. The only defensive flaw in the per- formance was the lone Illini score after the interception, and it really wasn't anybody's fault. "The Illinois touchdown came Dawson tosses KC past Steelers, 38-16 MIKE KELLER (90) and FRED GRAMBAU (92) combine to haul down Illinois quarterback Mike Wells. For his fine defensive play in Saturday's game, Keller was named defensive champion of the week. BUT WHICH ONE? Big 8 claim*-s topteam When the n a t i o n a 11 y second ranked team trounces the fifth rated team, it can usually make a strong case for being ranked num- ber one.' But Oklahoma, in that position after defeating Colorado 45-17 Sat- urday, can't even convince every- one it's the best team in its own conference.' Nebraska, defending national champion and tied for the Big 8 lead with Oklahoma, beat Kansas 55-0 and, despite the performance of the Sooners, remained the top team in the country in the eyes of many observers. "We certainly helped Nebraska's cause," Kansas coach Don Fambrough said.. What does a coach have to say after winning 55-0? How about complaining about the officiating? Few will believe Nebraska tnentor Bob Devaney, but he thought the officiating was so bad he threat- ened to complain to conference officials. Devaney's other complaint, be- lieve it or not, was that his team didn't score enough. "I don't feel it was one of our best offensive days," he Aaid of his squad which gained a paltry 532 yards. "We were presented with scoring oppor- tunities on numerous occasions, and we do like to see the team take advantage of all scoring op- portunities." Devaney may have been silently comparing his team with Okla- homa, which gained 670 yards, 498 4of them on the ground. The 172 in the air came on but four com- pletions out of five attempts by Wishbone-T sparkplug Jack Mil- dren. The coach of previously 'unde- feated Colorado, Eddie Crowder, said Mildren was the key to the Sooner attack. "He is doing a superb job with the option game." Especially when he gives the ball to the sensational Greg Pruitt. The junior flash ran for 190 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries. Mildren knows that Pruitt can do it. Both Devaney and Sooner coach Chuck Fairbanks claim their mnds are on other things-like their battle royal scheduled for Thanks- giving-but bowl officials are said to be swarming the two campuses like boll weevils around cotton or flies around sugar. While the Big 8 tries to decide who's the nation's top team, others are wondering who the top quor- terback is. Washington's Sonny Sixkiller, the morning line favo- rite, faltered for the second straight week Saturday, going 12 for 31 while (leading the Huskies down the rose strewn pass away from Pasadena. But, while Washington wvas los- ing 23-21 to Oregon. Auburn's Pat Sullivan was showing some of his own quarterback skills. Sullivan threw for 25 of 34 including 15 straight completions in the second half while leading the Tigers to a come - from - behind victory over Georgia Tech, 31-14. Auburn, now 5-0, is another school hoping to extend its ,eason into the New Year. So is Stanford, which has been showing how much the loss of Jim Plunkett (as in Heisman) has hurt. Led by quarterback Don Bunce, the Indians stomped to their third Pacific 8evictory without a loss, 33-18, over Southern California, now a loser for the third straight week. Other leading teams also con- tinued their way to a hopefully sugary holiday season. Penn State, Notre Dame, Alabama and Geor- gia all remained unbeaten. Ala- bama, with the best team Bear. Bryant has borne in years, was expected to have the toughest time, but the Crimson Tide left tough Tennessee red-faced. Alabama gained 283 yards but was penalized 105 in defeating the Vols, 32-15. Bryant said his team made too many penalty mistakes for his players to be thinking of being number one. The polls will probably agree. KANSAS CITY OP)-Sore-armed Len Dawson zeroed in on Otis Taylor in a spectacular aerial dis- play and the Kansas City Chiefs erased a 9-0 deficit with four sec- ond-quarter touchdowns for a 38- 16 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last night in a nationally televised American Football Con- ference game. Stenerud kicked an 11-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter after that drive broke down. John Fuqua scored for Pitts- burgh from the one after a fum- ble recovery put the Steelers on the Chiefs' 17. A penalty and Bradshaw's pass to Ron Shanklin later put the ball on the three, but Pittsburgh could not move it across the goal line. Kansas City closed out the scor- ing on a 32-yard pass interception by Emmitt Thomas, making the final score 38-16. Dawson hurled payoff strikes of five and 27 yards to the rangy Taylor and five yards to rookie Elmo Wright. Ed Podolak scored the fourth touchdown on a one-yard run and Emmitt Thomas added a TD in the last moments on a 32-yard pass interception run. After the big second - quarter flurry the Chiefs never were able to do much against the young Steelers, except for an 11-yard field goal on the first play of the final quarter by Jan Stenerud, who converted after all five touch- downs and Thomas' theft. Pittsburgh jumped ahead in the opening quarter on field goals of 32, 40 and 35 yards by Roy Ger- ela. The Steelers didn't score again until the fourth quarter, when John Fuqua bolted over from the one-yard line, ending a 17-yard drive that took five plays. Dawson and Taylor were the main attractions in this struggle before a rain-dampened crowd of 49,533, but it was the vaunted Kansas City defense which pro- vided the momentum for the Chiefs' triumph, which put them in a first-place tie with the Oak- land Raiders in the AFC West. on a great call," explained Schembechler. It was third down and long yardage. They sent three men out and we ran the safety blitz figuring on a pass. Then they ran a reverse and we've got no one left to stop the runner." The Wolverine defense, how- ever, is upset about the score. It's not that they think that they should have stopped it, they just don't like to give up touch- downs. "Our defense is mad that they gave them that touch- down Schembechler s a i d. "They always want to be lower, than Notre Dame in points al- lowed." While Schembechler felt that the defensive performance was all right, he was not that pleas- ed with the offense. "We did not block, we did not execute well," Schembechler complained. However, Jim Coode was an exception to thescriticism as he turned in his second straight high percentage game on offen- sive line and was named of- fensive player of the week. "Coode has been good," Schembechler announced. "He's played better than we expected and it's been a real pleasant surprise." Coode's strong play is all the more satisfying because he is not playing above expectations. Schembechler had high hopes for him last year, but before he could play in his first game he suffered a ruptured appendix and missed the entire season. Coode spent a month and a half in the hospital, lost 50 pounds and endured two operations be- fore he could begin to mend. So the surprise is more that he could come back and play foot- ball at all rather than that he is playing well. Other offensive performances were not as consistent. Quarter- back Tom Slade went five out of seven for 74 in the passing department, but one of the two not completed was intercepted, setting up the Illinois touch- down. According to Schembech- ler, "Slade wasn't quite as good as he was against Michigan State. However he made some good plays and his only prob- lem in inexperience." Bill Taylor was the leading Michigan rusher as usual and though he didn't start the game, his injured arm didn't bother him. "There was no problem with Taylor's shoulder," Schem- bechler commented. "He got through the line just fine." Glenn Doughty also had a good day in the scoring column. According to Schembech- ler, Doughty's success was dic- tated by the Illinois defense. W illia-ms gets pilot award NEW YORK OlP)-Dick Williams of the Oakland A's, fired two years ago by Boston because "I was too mean," was named yesterday as the Associated Press' Manager of the Year in the American League. Williams, who in his first year as manager of the A's guided them to a runaway title in the AL West, received 107 votes in nationwide balloting by sports writers and sportscasters. Bob Lemon of Kansas City fin- ished second with 66 votes, with Earl Weaver of Baltimore third with 59. Chuck Tanner of the Chi- cago White Sox was fourth with 36 and Billy Martin of the Tigers fifth with 12. daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: BILL ALTERMAN "They forced the pitch," he ex- plained, "and when you force the pitch Doughty's going to run the ball." There was a lot of talk among the opposing' players on the field and Schembechler wasn't very happy about it. Evidently the conversations got pretty heated as Bo Rather almost got involved in a full scale fight with, one of the Illini. "There was too much conversation be- tween the teams," Schembechler mentioned. "I don't know what was said and I don't want to get involved, but there was too much provocation. I'm not de- fending my guys, but I don't like that kind of stuff." For the student body: SGenuine $ Authentic ' Navy PEA COATS $25 Sizes 34 to 50 Try Our New HAIRSTYLISTS!
