V/P) - Arnold Palmer, relaxed and joking, swept into sole control of first place in the, fourth round of the Bob Hope Desert golf classic yesterday while Vice Presi- dent Spiro Agnew did it again, clipping three spectators. Agnew, who hit Doug Sanders -in the back of the head with an errant shot in this tournament a year ago, smashed one off the toe of his club on the first tee at the Burmuda Dunes Country Club and the ball slashed low into the tightly packed stands. It hit G. Decker, 66, of Salem, Ore., on the fore- arm, glanced over and struck Decker's wife on the arm. The Vice President apologized profusely, kissed the woman on the arm and returned to the tee. And did the same thing all over again. This time the ball smashed into the left ankle s ilent majority of Jacqueline Woods, 35, Chatsworth, Calif. She was taken to the first aid station for emergency treatment, then to Valley Memorial Hospital in Indio, Calif., for X-rays. She was released in satisfactory condition about an hour later. The Vice President, playing in a foursome that included Sanders, Hope and baseball star Willie Mays, dropped his driver in disgust after the second shot, ignored the gallery's pleas to try it again and jumped into a golf cart. Surrounded by security men, he sped down the fairway. Palmer, playing a prudent two holes back of the'" Vice President cut out a four-under par 68 on the Bermuda Dunes Country Club course. That gave him a 72-hole total of 272, or 16-under-par in this, the only event on the pro tour that stretches to 90 holes. By BOB ANDREWS Not even the magical potency of, Woody Hayes would have helped the Buckeyes of Ohio State who were literally outclassed by the Wolverine gymnasts by the score of 163.85 to 150.10. It was the ex- cellent performance by the three, all arounders, Rick McCurdy, Ray Gura and Ted Marti, who Coach Newt Loken proudly termed "a dedicated threesome", who com- bined for 160.95 points. IMcCurdy led the field in all around competition with his best score ever, at 54.65 which is 0.55 points better than he had ever com- piled before. Gura, with a 53.75 and Marti with his 52.55 were second and third in that category respec- tively. The best the Buckeyes could place was fourth as Reed Klein posted a 50.55 total. Loken commented, "Our boys had some trouble getting up for this match in light of the compe- tition we had to face." However, in every event except the side horse, the Wolverines easily surpassed the 27-point plateau. The pace was set in the very first event, the free exercise, as Michi- gan's Gura led all scorers with a 9.25, pacing the Wolverines over the Buckeyes, 27.4 to 25.85. Gura, Terry Boys (9.1) and McCurdy (9.05) all performed more chal- lenging routines than did the Buck- eyes who seemed content to score in the 8-point range, except for all arounder Jack Leonard, who per- formed a routine more similar to that of the Wolverines and mianag- ed to post a 9.0. His score was the only 9-point or better for Ohio State, who failed to hit 26 points in any of the competitions. The finest event of the day for Michigan was the horizontal bars as they outswung Ohio State 27.8 to 24.4, the highest and lowest event total for each team respectively. Ed Howard, who always ends each meet with a superlative exhibition did it again as he executed the hardest routine in this event and posted an exceptional 9.45. Not to be discounted were Mc- Curdy who scored 9.2 and Ted Mar- ti with a 9.15. Jim Scully, whose score did not count in the contest also did a fine job with a 9.0. The best the Buckeyes could muster up was a mediocre 8.2 by Jerry Sowards. In the long horse, five of the six Wolverines scored nine-plus points: McCurdy (9.3), Rusty Pierce (9.25), Gura (9.15), Marti (9.0) and Ward Black, whose score did not enter in to the team competition, (9.0). In the parallel bars, it was the routine by Bill Hudgins that took the spotlight. In the earlier going this season, he was having trouble going through his routine without some minor flaw, but against the Buckeyes he was truly superb as lie earned himself a 9.2, by far his best ever. With Hudgins setting the pace, Michigan outscored Ohio State in that event, 27.3 to 25.05. In the rings event, the story was the same as th Wolverines toppled Ohio State by the score of 27.30 to -Daily-Terry Mccarthy RICK McCURDY, Wolverine all-around performer, goes through a side horse routine in an earlier triangle meet against Iowa and Indiana State. McCurdy topped Michigan's trio of all-around men with an excellent 54.65 point total to help lead the Wolverines to a 163.85-150.10 trouncing of Ohio State, yesterday.

Ritter was fouled during a re- bound scrap under the Indiana basket. The Hoosiers gained the ball with 28 seconds to play and maneuvered for the last shot which George McGinnis missed but Ritter rebounded. McGinnis finished with a game high 34 points and grabbed 15 re- bounds as Indiana moved away from a 45-40 halftime deficit to run its record to 4-2 in the Big Ten and 12-4 overall. Badgers clawed E V A N S T O N-Northwestern finally broke through with its first Big Ten basketball victory of the season last night by toppling Wis- consin 101-91.

Leon Howard was high for Wisconsin with 21 and Clarence Sherrord added 20 to become the top Badgei} scorer in history with a total of 1,217 points. * * * Gophers go MINNEAPOLIS - The Minne- sota Gophers, hitting almost 50 per cent of their shots from the field, scored their first Big Ten basketball victory in seven games this season downing Michigan State 97-86 last night. The Gophers hit 48.5 per cent of their shots from the field, only the second time this season they've shot more than 40 per cent during conference play. But the Gophers won it at the free throw line, hitting 31 of 39 shots while Michigan State sank only 12 of 24 shots from the foul line. The Gophers, led by Ollie Shan- non with 26 points, jumped to an early 7-0 lead in the first two minutes and the Spartans n e v e r caught up. * * * Ducks drubbed EUGENE, Ore. - Southern Cal- ifornia's third-ranked Trojans withstood a 34-point barrage by Oregon guard Stan Love and trounced the Ducks 93-75 yester- day in Pacific-8 collegiate basket- ball action. The Trojans led 43-36 at the half after 11 ties and the Ducks were able to pull ahead only once again - at 49-48 with 15:04 re- maining. USC recovered the lead quickly on a rebound basket by center Ron Riley and never trailed again. Irish romp CHICAGO - Austin Carr's 36 points led ninth-ranked N o t r e Dame, pushing for an NCAA bid, to a 107-76 basketball victory over scrappy DePaul University yester- day. The triumph was the 13th in 19 starts for the Irish. Notre Dame 4Lso got a 30-point effort from Collis Jones as it shook off e a r1 y game doldrums and spurted far ahead in the second half. DePaul, losing its eighth straight game for a 5-15 record, used a tough 2-3 zone defense to great advantage in the first half. The Irish led by only two points, 37-35, until Coach Johnny Dee inserted Jim Regelean and t h e sophomore center scored four quick points and grabbed five re- bounds in a three-minute span. That lifted the Irish to a 46-37 halftime lead. * * * J-Hawks win STILLWATER, Okla. - A Kan- sas offensive splurge midway in the second half downed Oklahoma State, 63-50, yesterday in Big Eight basketball.

OSU broke on top early and threatened the Jayhawk's unbeat- en Big Eight record. But Kansas began making its move with six minutes left in the first half be- hind eight points, 24-16.
