SPORTS REER AND JOHN PAPANEK The McNulty-St. Pierre combina- tion, which clicked for eight com- pletions in the half, was shut off in the second half when Michigan went man-to-man on the fullback. The Wolverines got their hands on the ball early in the first per- iod when Indiana's Mark Zellmer sliced a punt eleven yards to the Michigan 32. Slade, behind real crunch blocking, rolled inside right end for a whopping twenty-yard gain. After the drive sputtered slightly, Taylor carried to the Indiana 46, inches short of a first down. Then, after Fritz Seyferth got the first, Taylor broke into the open again. Hit around t h e Indiana twenty, he fumbled and the unpredictable football bounced precisely into Slade's beckoning hands. Michigan touchdown. A minute later Indiana was again on the move, at the Michi- gan 45 after McNulty hit split end Steve Porter for a 19-yard gain. But the Hoosiers were skunked again, as a McNulty pass sailed past the stumbling St. Pierre into Darden's greedy hands.

It's not good to substitute so much this late in the year." When confronted with Indiana's 180 yards of passing yardage, Schembechler growled, "I don't give a damn!

Tom Darden snatched the errant aerial and romped 60 sweet yards to the end zone. "Those two breaks really didn't de- moralize our team," Pont said, "but I guess it did take something out of us. It's not easy to play when you're behind 14-0." As far as Indiana was concerned, the rest of the game was a proverbial burn. Once the Wolverines realized that the breaks were going their way, they got down to work and ground out yard after thundering yard against the harried Hoosier defenders on their way to an eight touchdown outburst. lose yards, again the most the defense has given up since Northwestern. Most of McNulty's completions were early in the game, however, as the Hoosier signalcaller lobbed screen passes to fullback Ken St. Pierre for good yard- age. But the begrudging Michigan de- fense made a minor adjustment and the Hoosiers were forced to look for other ways of attack. "We were ready for them to come out passing," said linebacker Tom Kee. "We started out in a zone coverage but the men coming out of the backfield kept getting open. So we changed our cover- age so that a linebacker would pick up ground attack took its toll early in the game and the Hoosiermen were simply outclassed. Behind so early in the game, Indiana was forced into a gambling type of de- fense and its failure broke the game wide open. On both of Taylor's touchdown jaunts the Hoosier defense was in a close set defense, with almost 10 men on the line of scrimmage. Once Taylor broke past the line, it was simply a matter of open field running before he tallied six points. Schembechler said after the game, "They used a goal line defense a lot and once von rack it vn'rengone"
