Tuesday November 9. 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven THICIANDIYae ee out to lunch mort novock DEFENSE PREVAILS Wolverines ready ... .. for second season READY or not the Michigan football team is going to have to play a real game this Saturday. The Three-I League with its 63-7 games is over for the year and for the rest of the season the Wolverines will actually will have to play their games before they can sing the Victors. And nobody knows it better than Coach Bo Schembechler. Although his team has been overpowering in its last two ap- pearances he realizes that weak competition has played a large role in determining the final scores. He is also the first to say that though Purdue and Ohio State have both been defeated, they are capable of giving Michigan a real struggle. The next two weeks will be very revealing," Schembech- ler commented. "I think Purdue is a good team and it'll be a hell of a tough game to win. And don't think that OSU's loss to Michigan State will take any of the luster away from that game. Ohio will be tough, I don't care what their record is." There are some who would disagree, saying that the Wol- verines can easily handle anyone in the Big Ten. But none could contest the fact that Schembechler and his team are go- ing to be under intense pressure for the next two weeks. They have won nine games thus far, but if they can't win them all the whole season will become meaningless. Before the current campaign started the team sat down and decided on some goals for the year. Schembechler won't reveal what the players decided to accomplish this season, but it Is likely that going undefeated is high on the list. Accord- ing to Bo "we're a goal seeking team and we set some very ambitious goals." So if they lose a game the Wolverines will feel they have failed. The season is drawing to a close for most teams, but for Michigan it's just beginning. The final games have be- come their whole season. "These last two games are the whole show for us," said Schembechler. "There are two weeks to go. Two Saturdays and I'm anxious. He didn't say it, but he also knows that the Wolverines can't afford to lose if they want to stay high in the national rankings. Schembechler claims to be disinterested in post season honors, but he admits that after the season is over he'll let people know where he thinks Michigan should be in the polls. And if they finish undefeated it's a good bet that Bo will pick A a low number. A TV commentator accused him of running up the score last week against Iowa, in order to impress the pollsters. But Schembechler denies" this, adding that the idea at this point is just victory. "We just want to win our last two games," he stated. "If we do win I don't care how you add it up. It's a hell of an accomplishment." } If they do win all the games the Wolverines will be making a trip out to the Rose Bowl, but Bo isn't ready to look that far ahead. He admits that "you have to talk about the Rose Bowl if it's part of the incentive to the players." However, he adds that "the players haven't talked about it, at least to. me." A victory at Purdue will make the whole issue meaningless anyway as it will clinch the bowl berth for Michigan, But Schembechler keeps insisting that the Boilermakers will put gp a battle. And although the Wolverines scored 63 points last week they did not play flawless football offensively. The most obvious problem was the way they handled the ball. A Bill Taylor fumble of a poor pitch by Tom Slade cost the defense a shutout as it gave Iowa the ball on the Michigan 10 yard line. According to Schembechler "we've been handling the ball too loosely the last few weeks. It's easy to overlook against Iowa but it could hurt against a tough team." And despite their records, the final two teams on the Wol- verines schedule will be tough. Purdue is a physically massive outfit and OSU will play well against Michigan even if they have to use their cheerleaders. So the Wolverines must hang onto the ball if they want to hang onto or improve their posi- tion. Professional League Standings Colts' By The Associated Press BALTIMORE - Linebacker Ted Hendricks bolted 31 yards after recovering a fumble in mid-air, scoring the tie-breaking touchdown in the fourth quarter as the Balti- more Colts defeated Los Angeles 24-17 last night in a National Football League battle betweenl division runners-up. Hendricks' decisive dash with 9:03 left in the game came with startling suddenness in the tense and tight defensive struggle that had been tied 10-10 by the Colts just a few plays earlier when Jim O'Brien kicked a 32-yard field goal. Following the kickoff, Larry Smith smacked into the Colts' line -and middle linebacker Mike Cur- tis. The ball jarred loose and went virtually straight up. Hendricks, a 6-foot-7 linebacker nicknamed "The Stork," had no difficulty reaching up to grab it in mid-air and raced unmolested into the end zone for a 17-10 lead. The Colts added another touch- bury daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: ELLIOT LEGOW I Rams, back Earl Morrall at the 12 to stop a Colts' drive.

Celtics soar OMAHA - The Boston Celtics turned back a Cincinnati rally in the fourth quarter to defeat the 2 4-17 Royals 120-109 in a National Bas- ketball Association game last night. Dave Cowens poured in 30 points to lead the Celtics, who stayed on top of the NBA Atlantic Division with their ninth vicory against two defeats. Cowens got 16 of his points as the Celts built a 63-50 halftime lead. Boston made it 93-70 during the third period. Jo Jo White fin- ished with 24 points in the only pro basketball game to be played in Omaha this season.

The Dolphins have a 6-1-1: record. The defeat, meanwhile dropped the Rams 1%/ games, behind in their pursuit of front-running San Francisco in the National Con- ference West. The Rams now are 4-3-1, while the 49ers are 6-2. O'Brien's field goal, which tied the game 10-10, came with 10:15 left in the contest. The teams had battled to a scoreless third period in which O'Brien had been short on two previous field goal attempts, from 51 and 48 yards out. Then, suddenly, it was a differ- ent ball game as first Hendricks broke through and then Matte. That put it safely out of reach, despite a 36-yard touchdown pass from Los Angeles quarterback Ro- man Gabriel to Matt Maslowski with 14 seconds left. The Rams had built a 10-7 lead in the first half ona 20-yard field goal by David Ray and Gabriel's 12-yard TD pass to Les Josephson. But they missed another scoring opportunity when Ray was to con- nect on a rare free-kick field goal attempt after time had expired while a punt was in the air. Under the rules, Ray was en- titled to the free kick from the Baltimore 45-yard line even though time had expired, because kick re- turner Alvin Haymond had signal- led for a fair catch on the punt. But Ray's kick, attempted with the teams lining up as they would for a kickoff, was wide to the left.
