DONNELLY STAR By JOE PHILLIPS The Michigan Wolverines com- pleted a week-end sweep of the Western Ontario Mustangs with an overtime 3-2 victory last night' at the Michigan Coliseum. Pat Donnelly converted a pass from Randy Neal at 3:40 of the over- time period to keep the Wolverines undefeated. The first period looked like a replay of Friday night's opening stanza. Bernie Gagnon h e l p e d I break a scoreless tie when he set up line-mate Michel Jarry with a perfect pass just insige the left face-off circle. Mustang goalie Pat Grace was down and out of the play as Jarry simply blasted the puck into the open net. Both teams backchecked fur- iously as Grace and Michigan net- minder Karl Bagnell were superla- tive. The Wolverines went to the dressing room with a precarious 1-0 lead. In the opening minutes of the second period Western Ontario carried the play and Bagnell had to make a tremendous save on Mustang center Bob Best who fired from point-blank range. But Les McAninch capitalized on some sloppy play by the Mich- igan defense when he took a pass from Pete Frazier on the right side and popped the puck past a' helpless Bagnell. The Mustangs continued to apply the pressure as winger Doug Johnson rang a slap shot off the post to almost give Ontario the lead. Mustang First Period: SCORING: 1.

Most of it came in the second half, when the Wolverines were able to run around some large, but tiring Boilermaker linesmen.

The contest was far from a laugher as Michigan squeezed out an exciting 20-17 victory. Taylor, particularly, had trouble. "They were just keying on me," he said. "I got hit even when I didn't have the ball. I just had to do my thing, which was blocking for the fullbacks." Five minutes into the second quarter, Michigan finally crossed the goal line on a one-yard run by Shuttlesworth, Michigan's work- horse throughout the game who gained a career-high 135 yards. After Coin's conversion tied the score, his kick-off was fumbled by Armstrong and recovered by Mich- igan's Tom Kee on the Purdue 29 yard line. A Doughty end run took the ball to the six, and the drive stalled three plays later at the three, set- ting up the first of Coin's two field goals. The 10-17 Michigan lead didn't hold up very far into the second half, however. On the fourth play, quarterback Gary Danielson, who' missed several games with an in- jured shoulder, passed to Darryl Stingley over the middle. Stingley Ling theWolverines on top again in the see-saw struggle, 17-14. The' Boilermakers came right back with a 63-yard drive, even though Danielson had to be re- placed by Steve Burke after re- injuring his shoulder. The drive stalled on the Michi- gan 17, but Mike Renie kicked a 34-yard field goal to tie the score., The Wolverines threatened to score again immediately, after Taylor burst through the line off right tackle and sped 40 yards to the Purdue 39. Two first downs later, Michigan had the ball on the 21 and Slade attempted to pass to Doughty. The ball was tipped by a Purdue line- man and intercepted by Charlie Potts, and to further complicate m a t t e r s, pass interference was called on Purdue at the goal line. The officials ruled that the bat- ting of the ball nullified the pen- alty, but Schembechler argued that the pass was either dropped or fumbled by Potts. That would have given the Wolverines the ball back, but, though Schembechler stomped on his hat in protest, the officials ruled otherwise. That only set up the more dra- matic field goal by Coin, who pointed out that the blockers did such a good job that "After I kicked there wasn't anybody near me or Slade." THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES had a rare experience yes- terday. For the first time all season their opponents didn't collapse long before the game was over. It was a knock-down, drag-out battle all the way. No mat- ter what the Wolverines did the Boilermakers kept coming back. It wasn't until Dana Coin put Michigan ahead with less than a minute to go that they could begin thinking of victory and even then Purdue refused to die. However, it was exactly the type of contest that Bo Schembechler and his team expected. Fans may have come to believe that the Wolverines can roll over any team that lines up against them, but Schembechler knew better. "I knew it would be tough," he commented. Purdue played the way they're capable of playing and I certainly expected them to be every bit as good as they were." At any rate, for a team with a 3-6 record the Boilermakers put up a good fight. They were the first team to score more than 13 points against Michigan and they were also the first to score in the third period. The Wolverines rush defense rarely gives up anything at all, but the Boilermakers managed to get 125. They added 185 in the air and finished with the shocking total of 310 total yards. The Purdue defense was equally impressive. Michigan wound up with 303 yards rushing and 56 passing for 363 total, but each one came very painfully. The Boilermakers were so successful in the first half that Schembechler had to call nine pass plays, when he usually uses less than that in an entire game. According to ,Purdue Coach Bob Demos, "I'm very proud of my team. They gave 125 percent out. there against a very fine football team. Maybe we played our best game of the year, but we lost." He added that "We decided just to go out and play Michi- gan a tough physical game and see who won and that's just what we did." The only problem was that Schembechler decided to do exactly the same thing and his team turned out to be tougher. "Just call us gutty," Bo announced outside the locker room. "That's the kind of ball club we are." And after they slugged their way to victory yesterday no one would dispute him. It isn't easy to win 63-7 one week and then have to fight for your life the next, but the Wolverines proved that they could do it. Billy Taylor is used to carrying the ball a lot and getting yards everytime he touches it. But when Purdue managed to contain his plays he adjusted and did his best to block for Ed Shuttlesworth who was having better success. The Michigan defenders are accustomed to stopping enemy ballcarriers cold, The Boilermakers contradicted this notion, but the defense hung in and made every yard a war of attrition. Though they gave up some long plays they refused to let it upset them and played that much tougher on the next. By making these adjustments yesterday the Wolverines proved that they have character as well as talent. Although they did it well, adapting couldn't have been that easy. Purdue has a history of playing well against really good op- ponents and they weren't abot to give Michigan time to get things rearranged. When teams are evenly matched breaks usually make the difference. The only thing is that the better team can usually control their own luck and that's what Michigan did yesterday. A couple of drives were sustained when Purdue received penal- ties, but only a dominant team can force the other to make mistakes. It is also the stronger team that can play over bad breaks, which is what Michigan did. On their second to last possession the Wolverine were on the Purdue 21 yard line and were moving well. It looked as if they were on their way to the go-ahead touchdown when Tom Slade's pass was intercepted. At least that's what the officials said happened. They also said that Glenn Doughty was interfered with in the end zone, which would have given Michigan the ball on the goal line. However they added that a Purdue defender tipped the ball at the line of scrimmage, which nullified the penalty. Schembechler agrees that the referee made a good call on the interference penalty. However he disagrees with the end result of the play. He argues that Charlie Potts fumbled the ball after the interception and that Michigan recovered it. The play could have meant the ball game. But the de- fense came out strong, stopped Purdue quickly in their own territory and got the ball back. The offense quickly moved down the field to the Purdue eight where a busted play cost them their chance for a touchdown. However Coin came on and calmly kicked the field goal that won the game, The Wolverines could have panicked when they lost the ball on the interception, but they didn't. They proved that they could be patient and confident if necessary to win games. It is' one of their highest goals to win more games than any previous Michigan football team and if they're ready next week they'll achieve it. But only because they're a "gutty team"and will fight as hard as they have to in order to win. } 7 on the netminder and after beingj Finally, at 18:46 of the period, knocked to the ice, reached out the irrepressible Gagnon took a dthe ickbeahed Bu- shap pss romJary nar heand swept the puck behind Bag- sharp pass from Jarry near the nell.
