dies gave up after two futile
plays and quick-kicked the
Wolverines back to the Michi-
gan 33 yard line. But the Blue
offense took only nine plays to
march the 67 yards for its third
score.
FRANKLIN and Chapman
combined for the two biggest
plays in the drive, as the wing-
back circled around to take a
reverse for 15 yards, then got
clear for a perfect 18 yard toss.
End of third quarter: UCLA
42, Michigan State 14.
Bell sped through a huge hole
for the final three yards.
The Middie offense continued
to be stifled and punted to the
Michigan 47 after failing again
to gain a first down.
This time it looked like the
Wolverines might be content to
run it all the way to the end-
zone, but a clipping call set
them back. So Franklin rolled
left and found Chapman open
once again to make up more
than the lost yardage.
AFTER TWO line plunges,
Franklin again ran the option
left, this time pitching to Bell,
who made a superb move and

then sped 25 yards down the
west sideline, dodging the last
diving tackler for yet another
Blue TD.
That score brought in the sec-
ond team for Michigan but
didn't end the scoring. Mark El-
zinga took over at quarterback
and hit tight end George Przy-
godski and split receiver Keith
Johnson over the middle to
move the ball from midfield to,
the Navy 14.-
But with only seven seconds
remaining Mike Lantry, who
had already contributed four
PAT's and several out-of-end-,
zone kickoffs, split the uprights
from 31 yards out to send his
team into the locker safely in
command, 31-0.

advantage in first downs.
The slaughter did not end,
though, after 13,000 bandsmen
performed during halftime.
Michigan boss Bo Schembech-
ler put the first string back in
for a little more practice, and
fourteen more Wolverine points
soon appeared on the board.
The luckless Poirier quickly
found another way to give the
pigskin away after Navy took
the kick. After a good run
around his right end, a
vicious tackle from Don Dufek
made him fumble into the hands
of Michigan linebacker Steve
Strinko.
ONLY 27 yards from paydirt,
Michigan kept it on the ground
this time. Heater, Chapman and
Franklin all took their turns be-
fore Bell scooted the final two
for the touchdown.

avy
Poirier's generosity was bound-
less yesterday. Only four plays
later, another of his passes de-
flected high into the air and
was intercepted by reserve
Michigan linebacker Dave De-
vich, who was hauled down at
the Navy 29.
Franklin decided that he need-
ed only one play to cash in
this opportunity, and lofted an
alley-oop pass to split end Jim
Smith, who once again display-
ed his leaping talent by gather-
ing in the floating football in
the end zone, putting his team
on top 45-0.
At that point, less than half-
way into the third quarter, Bo
wisely turned merciful and pull-
ed most of his starters. The
rest of the game lapsed into a
practice session for both teams'
reserves.
Jiddies sunk!

MICHIGAN TAILBACK GORDON BELL (5) dives over a fleet of Midshipmen for his third touchdown of the day as quarter-
back Dennis Franklin (9) looks on. Wolverine runners had smooth sailing during most of the 52-0 rout, piling up 340 yards
and scoring six times. In addition, Franklin penetrated Navy's aerial radar, hitting five of six passes, including a 29-yard
scoring strike to Jim Smith.

SHROUDED in a thick mist that only covers cemeteries late at
night in the movies, a certain tombstone can be deciphered'
by bookeis, bettors, and coaches of highly ranked college foot-
ball teams. On the stone rest the names of some of the most suc-
cessful teams in the country - Penn State, Notre Dame, Ne-
braska, Texas, LSU, UCLA and Southern Cal.
These giants of the gridiron have all plummeted to de-
feat at the hands of lesser rivals in the early weeks of what
promises to be the "Year of the Upset" in the college game. -
One of the perpetrators of the sleepless nights were the
usually mild-mannered Midshipmen of the Naval Academy, who1
shook up the balance of the power in the East by defeating Penn
State last week.
The rash of upsets and the general upheaval of the status
quo in college football had to have an effect on the Michigan
coaching staff, the players and the 104,232 folks who crowded their

turned out to be their deepest penetration of the day at the 34.
Obviously from the final score of 52-0, nothing much went
right for Midshipmen after that, but the opening series was
enough to worry Bo Schembechler. "The way it started,"
said Bo to the assembled scribes after the game, "I thought
uh-oh, we're going to have a ' battle, but we got a lot of
breaks and a lot of easy TDs after that."
The magnitude of the score and Michigan's total domina-
tion of the statistics reflected a newly discovered concern for
Navy's chances this year as opposed to the recent past. Navy
is one of those games that Michigan fans attend solely to get
drunk and considering some of the lackluster performances by
the Wolverines, it seemed that the players had the same
thought in mind.
Last year, in Michigan's unentertaining 14-0 victory over the
Middies, both the players and the coaches were unprepared. Bo
commented that it was the worst game he ever coached.
However, Navy had lost to Penn State by the ghastly score
of 39-0 in 1973 and Michigan was coming off a big 47-10 romp
over Stanford. Although no one associated with the Michigan
team ever talks negatively about an opponent, they simply had
trouble getting the adrenelin flowing for the Middies.
In fact, even in the 46-0 rout three years ago, the Wol-
verines led but 7-0 at intermission.
A sense that Michigan could be next in the upset string
hit the Wolverines this week, and their inspired play reflect-
itr Co-centcin Dave Brown exnressed this feeling. "It had a
definite effect on us. They always come to play and that's
the rnulity of Navy's team - they never quit." Fellow
All-American and Co-cantnin Dennis Franklin echoed his
sentiments, saying. "We got up more this time."
As the game turned out, all the classic ingredients for the
basic Schembechler rout emerged soon after the initial sput-
tering. An intercention by defensive tackle Jeff Perlinger set in
the first score. Two more intercentions and a couple of fumble
re-overies were instrumental in other touchdowns. Michigan's
field nosition was so strong throughout the game that the
seven touchdown drives averaged but 42 yards.
On the other hand, with the exception of Navy's first posses-
sion, the Midies were constantly nenned back deep in their own
territory. Wolverine place kicker Mike Lantry had a lot to do
with that ns he boomed kickoff after kickoff deep into the end-
zone for toichbacks. Ironically, the only first half kick that

pated romp Saturday until the
