SAN DIEGO (IP) - Dennis.
Partee kicked a 45-yard field
goal as time ran out as the rookie-
powered San Diego Chargers
clipped the St. Louis Cardinals
20-17 last night.
Partee's field goal, his second
of the night, capped an inspired
Charger effort led by running
back Mike Montgomery, who ran,
passed and caught the football for
a total offense of 208 yards in his
first NFL start.
Two other Charger rookies,
Bryant Salter from Pittsburgh and
Ray White from Syracuse, spark-

The Cardinals then gambled

another rookie, recovered at the
Charger 47. Hadl hit Garrison
with a 16-yard pass and San
Diego lined up for Partee's win-

about the Wolverines
FRITZ CRISLER, the dean emeritus of Michigan football, called
last Saturday's victory over Purdue "the best thing that could
have happened to the Wolverines." And though Fritz hasn't
coached a team himself in over twenty years, he's probably
right.
Michigan could easily have lost that game. The Wolverines
had only one real contest previous to it, the Michigan State game,
and even then they won without extending themselves all the
way. After a string of easy victories it wouldn't have been im-
possible for Michigan to collapse before the Boilermakers' stiff
opposition.
When a team wins by more than 50 points two weeks in a
row it can begin to delude itself, believing that every game is
that easy. The first time they find themselves in a real stuggle,
the players can give up, shocked that they are not invincible.
Or they can quit trying, thinking that victory is in the stars
and no matter how badly they play fate will win the game for
them.
Conversely, a team can use a tough contest to prove its
greatness. It can dig in and fight instead of fleeing the
battle and prove to itself and the world that -they will win
no matter what it takes.
If Crisler's assessment is right, this is exactly what Michigan
did against Purdue. They proved that they are a tough, fighting
squad that doesn't believe in losing. Rather than beating a re-
treat from the Boilermakers' strong play they hit back like they
enjoyed it.'
And as it turns out, they did. As Bo Schembechler said later,
"It was a physical football game and I enjoyed it. I know we
were in a game." It's almost as if the Wolverines discovered that
they'd been missing something all season. Winning a close one
is more satisfying than scoring a point a minute, but until they
go to Lafayette they never had a chance to learn.
It was also their first opportunity to find out what it is
like to play under pressure. Las year's team learned early.. j
They had to go to the wire against Texas A&M early in the
season and never forgot the lesson. This year's squad de-
veloped the habit of putting games out of reach by halftime
and then watching the reserves run up the score as they
relaxed on the bench.
It was a new sensation for the first string to be playing in
the fourth quarter and a revolutionary experience for them to be
fighting for their lives. When they got the ball for the last time
against' Purdue the Wolverines had four minutes to get down the
field to break the tie. Since they never had to do it before they
could have panicked. They were under more pressure than they
had ever known and pressure can cause mistakes, which they
couldn't afford.
But Michigan has character a well as talent. Instead of
breaking they poved down the field with greater ease than they
had shown before. They realized that the season was riding on
that one drive and they did what was necessary.
The defense did exactly the same thing minutes before.
The Wolverine offense was driving well for the go ahead
score when they lost the ball on a disputed interception.
There wasn't much time left and Michigan had to get the ball
back. So the defense went out and got it, letting the Boiler-
makers run only five plays.
It was, a great achievement, especially considering that the
defenders were not enjoying one of their best days. They had
already given up two touchdowns on tough breaks and could
have understandably been down.
Purdue's first touchdown came after Bruce Elliott tripped,
and was called for pass interference after he fell into the Boiler-
maker receiver. According to Schembechler and the rule book,
it is not interference when a defender trips and his legs hit the
receiver's legs.
The second bad break came when Frank Gusich slipped
and Tom Darden missed a tackle on the same play. These
two misfortunes cost Michigan 14 points and could have lost
them the game. But the defense hung in and the offense
played harder.
And because of it they have the chance to be the first group
of Wolverines to go undefeated since the 1948 squad. Fritz Crisler
didn't coach that team, but the year before he led them as they
went 10-0 including a Rose Bowl victory.
But while he had had a much closer connection with that
'48 team than he does with the current group, after Saturday's
win it would safe to say that he is just as proud of Bo's bunch
as he was of his own.

Dennis Partee kicked a 25-yard

ter. San Diego had moved to the
Cardinal 18 on a 66-yard drive,
half of it coming on rookie run-
ning back Mike Montgomery's 33-
yard option pass to Gary Garri-
son.
The Cardinals then got the ball
via a Charger punt and beat the
halftime clock for a 10-3 lead on
Jim Bakken's 13-yard field goal
with 13 seconds left. The St.
Louis drive covered 72 yards, the
longest play a 20-yard pass from
from Hart to Jackie Smith.
The Cardinals, now 3-6, took
the second-half kickoff and
marched to the San Diego 19 for
a 27-yard field goal attempt by
Jim Bakken. But White blocked
it and set up the Chargers for a
72-yard drive, capped by Queen's
four-yard run and a 10-10 tie in
the third quarter.
It was the first regular season
meeting between the Chargers of
the American Conference West
and the Cardinals of the Nation-

SCORE EIGHT GOALS
French line ices rivals,
By JOEL GREER
If anything was proven in last
weekend's twin killing of Western
Ontario, it was the fans' new
foud heroes: "the flying French-
men."
Of course, it the line of freshman
left-winger Paul-Andre Paris, jun-
ior center Michel Jarry, and all-
America candidate Bernie Gagnon,
which brought the crowd to its feet
throughout the series.
The all-Montreal trio, as a line,
accounted for eight goals and 12
assists. Gagnon led the way with
four goals and two assists in Fri-I
day's 10-3 rout, and added a goal
and an assist in Saturday's 3-2{
overtime victory.
Jarry failed to put the light on
Friday but was credited with five
assists. In Saturday's encounter
Jarry opened the scoring anid as-
sisted on Gagnon's tying goal.
Paris delighted the Michigan
Coliseum crowd in his collegiate
debut, as he scored twice and as-
sisted on three others in the open-
er, but was blanked the secondI
night.
"They head-manned the puck
real well,"ecoach Al Renfrew ex-
plained 'as his squad began prac-
tice for the opening conference
series this weekend at Wisconsin.
"Especially Paris," Renfrew con-
tinued, "He gets rid of the puck
almost before he gets it. He can
really set someone up."
The French line brought memo-
ries from the past Michigan hockey
powers which thrived on fast skat-
ing and Sharp passing. Moving
quickly down the ice has been the
trademark of a strong college
hockey team-something Michigan
failed to do all last year.
While Renfrew was happy with
that aspect of the attack, he again
questioned his team's ability to
get the offensive rushes started.
"We're going to work on that a lot
this week. We definitely have prob-
lems getting out of our own zone."
The entire offense still is ques-
tionable even though they scored
10 times Friday night. Against the
Mustangs' first-string goalie Pat
Grace, the Wolverines only scored
once, while scoring thrice on the
second - stringer and six times
against third-stringer Nick Man-
cini.
On Saturday night the icers only
managed to beat Grace twice in'
regulation time as he played the
entire game.
However, Renfrew was extreme-
ly happy with freshman Pat Don-
nelly's winning goal in overtime.
"He connected on a nice backhand-
er for the winner. Mostplayers
don't use the backhand shot any-
more."
Renfrew was also concerned with
the forwards' lack of forecheck-
ing. "That left a bit to be desired,"
he commented.
On the whole the offense was
commendable, but it will not be
known whether the scoring punch
is that effective until the Wolver-
ines face league competition.
In the net, Karl Bagnell display-
ed some of the brilliance he fash-
ioned so often in his sophomore
year before slumping last season.
"Karl played very well. He made
some great saves when we needed
them," Renfrew declared.
The defense was rather encour-
aging as they were a lot tougher
in front of their own net, Renfrew
assessed. "They (Western Ontario)
weren't getting the second shot,"
as Bagnell and the remainder of
the defense was effectively clear-
ing the rebounds.

Louella Winsome, the first woman associate managing editor of
the Podunk Persuader, had a problem. Despite the fact that she was
the greatest journalist to ever emerge from Oral Roberts College, she
was continually oppressed because of her sex. She suffered indignity
after insult because she was a woman.
However, the supreme blow came when they refused to let her
attend a stag press party commemorating the tenth anniversary
of the local burlesque house. Lou decided this was too much and
conceived a plan of action to achieve her just and righteous domi-
nance of the Persuader.
Lou's plan was to form a grievance board to oversee the paper.
It would consist of all the women on the staff and it would have
the power to overrule the decisions of the chauvinist males. The
only problem was that no one supported it, including the other fe-
males on the staff. However Lou was right, so she persisted.
Eventually everyone else moved on to saner pastures and Lou
controlled the rag. It now has not run a sexist story in five years.
Of course it stopped publishing 1,826 days ago, but that doesn't
bother Lou, at least she can use the building for Woman's Lib meet-
ings.
By the way, she feeds herself by winning Gridde Pickings, just
