Bucks'wishbone buries Badgers

By the Associated Press
COLUMBUS-Sophomore Morris Bradshaw
broke clear for two 88-yard scoring bursts
yesterday - one on a kickoff return, the
other on the longest Ohio State touchdown
run from scrimmage ever in Ohio Stadium-
as the Buckeyes unveiled their version of the
Wishbone-T to whip Wisconsin 31-6.
The victory before 86,599 and millions more
on regional television kept Ohio State in
serious contention for a fourth straight Big
Ten title. The Buckeyes are 4-0 in the con-
ference and 5-1 overall.
The alert Ohio State defense forced Wis-
consin, 2-2 in the Big Ten and 3-3-1 overall,
into four fumbles and four interceptions. Two
of the mistakes led to Buckeye touchdowns
in a 17-point second quarter.
Elmer Lippert, another sophomore, burst
48 yards for a touchdown the first time Ohio
State tried the Wishbone-T this season, snap-
ping a scoreless tie early in the second
period.
On another Wishbone-T call less than two
minutes later Bradshaw picked his way for
88 yards and Ohio State was in front 14-0.
The Buckeyes had used the formation only
once before in their 27-17 Rose Bowl loss to
Stanford last January.

Wildcats roll
BLOOMINGTON - Veteran Maurie Daig-
neau scored one touchdown and passed for
one yesterday as Northwestern's Wildcats
defeated Indiana 24-10 and kept alive an out-
side chance for the Big Ten football title.
Versatile Jim Lash caught the touchdown
pass, a 65-yard dazzler, and scored again on
a 6-yard end-around play. He got both of his
touchdowns in the second quarter after In-
diana took a 3-0 lead in the first period on
Chris Gartner's 43-yard field goal.
Daigneau had to move the ball only 18
inches for his touchdown in the third quarter.'

The victory was the first for the season for
Illinois after six losses and broke a two-year,
nine-game losing streak dating back to a
23-21 triumph over the same Boilermakers
last year.
Purdue went into the game with a 3-0 -rec-
ord in the Big Ten and was ranked a 15-point
favorite but couldn't overcome the aroused
Illini.

Iowa swamped
EAST LANSING-Michigan State swamped
winless Iowa on a soggy field yesterday,
overpowering the hapless Hawkeyes 34-3 with
power sweeps to both sides.
Eric Allen streaked across the artificial
surface for 177 yards and three touchdowns
as MSU improved its record to 3-4 despite
fumbling 14 times, a Big Ten record. Iowa,
which led 3-0 before MSU got on track, now
is 0-7.
Repeatedly running wide with its new wish-
bone offense MSU simply bowled over Iowa's
defense with superior blocking. The Spartans
sputtered often as quarterback Mike. Ras-
mussen had trouble holding the slippery ball,
but the outcome was obvious once MSU took
the lead.

BILLY TAYLOR (42) surges over the Minnesota goal line for the Wolverines' first score in yesterday's
35-7 triumph over the Gophers. Taylor eluded Minnesota's Lou Clare (32) and Tom Pribyl (28) to reach
the end zone. It was the biggest day in B. T.'s Michigan career yesterday as he gained 168 yards to
become the greatest ground-gainer in Michigan his tory.

It took Michigan only five plays
to score, the touchdown coming on
a five-yard pass from mop-up
quarterback Larry Cipa to wing-
back Larry Gustafson.
Despite the late success of a
Michigan pass, Schembechler once
again was unimpressed by the

understated. "When we had time
to throw, we couldn't hit the re-
ceiver. We're a running team, any-
way."
What about Taylor? someone
asked Bo. "Yes, Taylor's a pretty
good back," he said with a big rosy
smile.

EVEN THOUGH HE'S only been here twice, Minneapolis has
got to be Bill Taylor's favorite town. This is the place where
he began his assault on the Michigan record-book and it's here
that he achieved the big breakthrough, passing Ron Johnson as
the Wolverine's all-time leading rusher.
As a sophomore Taylor spent his first five games on the
bench, watching his friend Glenn Doughty run from tailback.
But Doughty's season was cut short by an injury suffered in the
Michigan State game and Taylor was called upon to start at
Minnesota.
He responded to the opportunity by rushing for 151 yards
and except for a three game stint at fullback, Taylor has been
Michigan's starting tailback ever since. At the end of the first
season he had racked up 800 yards #in only five games.
By the time the Gophers turned up on the schedule again
yesterday Taylor's rushing total had grown from the initial 151
to 2,256 yards. When he finished racing through the Minnesota
line the number read 2,421, 81 more than Johnson's total.
Surprisingly, Taylor wasn't that excited about breaking the
record. It seems that it had been part of his plans ever since he.
entered Michigan as a freshman. As Doughty recalls, "he came
in as a freshman and said all this stuff about erasing the record.
He worked hard and took a lot of pain, but he did it."
Taylor admitted that setting the mark for most yards has
been a personal goal since his first year, but added that he
couldn't talk about it much then. "I had some kind of'ldea-
about it as a freshman," he remembered. "But I couldn't talk
about it then just like I still can't talk about some other goals
now."
Actually, he wasn't really ready to talk about the record after
the game yesterday. However it wasn't that he didn't want to.
He just didn't know that he had done it. Taylor enjoys carrying
the ball so much that until he was told he didn't realize that he
rushed 33 times against the Gophers.
Though he passed Johnson in the first half he didn't find out
about it until the game was over. "When I came out in the fourth
quarter I knew that I was close," Taylor remembered. "But I
realized that I wouldn't get back into the game so I figured that
I would get it next week. I thought that if I had it somebody
would tell me. Somebody did at the end but he said that I had
165 yards for game and I told him that he was lying."
No one was lying however as B. T. did finish with 165
yards. Eighty-eight of those came in the first half, so the rec-
ord was his early in the game. As Taylor said though, "Today
every yard was a tough yard so I was surprised that I had
that many."
The record breaking run was a gain of three yards around
right end. But most of Taylor's yards yesterday came on the off
tackle play,, his favorite. "I like to run off-tackle and break it
outside," he stated. Actually, though, any kind of play is alright
with Taylor. A second later he added that "I just like to get my
hands on the ball." And about two seconds after that it was down
to "I just love running the ball and that's all there is."
In addition to breaking Johnson's rushing record yesterday,
Taylor also passed him in career scoring, moving into second place
behind Tom Harmon. His first touchdown, on a play off right
tackle gave B.T. 27 touchdowns, moving him into a tie with John-
son.
His second, coming on an end run gave him 28, putting
him into second place in both most touchdowns and total
career scoring. When asked if breaking Harmon's record of 33
touchdowns was one of his goals Taylor wouldn't be specific,
but left little doubt that it was.
"If I get the opportunity to score or get an extra yard I'll
get it," he commented. "If I can get it I'll get it."
In previous seasons Taylor used to get at least a few yards
receiving passes, but this year he has been a target only once.
The Wolverines haven't really gone to the air that often, but
Taylor admits that, "I'd like to play a bigger part in the passing."

Knicks nicked
NEW YORK - Veteran Bill Bridges and
rookie George Trapp ignited an 18-3 At-
lanta surge in the third quarter that carried
the Hawks to their first victory of the
National Basketball Association season last
night, a 95-89 decision over the New York
Knicks.
The Hawks, who had lost their first four
games, trailed 55-52 with 6:28 left in the
third period. Then Bridges hit two consecu-
tive field goals, Trapp popped in a short
one-hander and Bridges followed with a
free throw before the Knicks' Willis Reed
hit a basket.
Then Bridges curled in a driving hook
and Trapp added four straight free throws,

mediately with another field goal that in-
sured the third straight victory for the Cel-
tics, who have never lost to the Braves. The
loss was Buffalo's fourth in a row this sea-
son.
