Waldvogel, naturally, c a m e out throwing and hit his re- ceivers twice to gain 23 yards, but ace Michigan safety Dave Brown picked off Waldvogel's final (and fortieth) pass of the afternoon. The Wolverines were safe at last. THE WOLVERINES may have wound up with 402 yards in total offense and the edge in first downs, but the way the game started out, they were lucky to stay within reach of the charged-up Cardinals. Hard- ly, playing like the team that had tied San Jose State and was creamed by Illinois, the Cards t o t a 11 y dominated the first quarter. Michigan could do nothing with the ball in the first quar- ter, garnering a queasy 23 rush- ing yards and not a single first down. THE WOLVERINES got in trouble on their very first series. Punter John Anderson's line drive was returned by Car- dinal Ray Anderson to the Michigan 42. Waldvogel, one of Stanford's quarterback triumverate, culd move the Cards just seven yards, but that was close enough for plackicker Mike Langford to boot the first of his tnree field goals, this one from 52 yards out. The Stanford three- pointer marked the first points* scored against Michigan in the first quarter since 1972. Michigan did nothing again and Stanford took over on its 28. Hitting two third-and-long passes, Waldvogel moved the Cards to the Michigan 29. On the third such situation, Wald- vogel again hit his 'man, tight end Fred Williams c o m i n g across the middle, but he could not reach the first-down yard- age before Steve Strinko and Jilek crushed him to the turf. LANGFORD, looking like a jumbo- sized Rod Garcia (a Michigan nemesis from way back), s a i le d a 42 - varder through the uprights and the Cards led, 6-0, with over five minutes left in the quarter. Michigan continued to be totally s t y m i e d but Stanford moved the ball with precision in their last possession of the SUNDAY SPORTS NIGHT EDITORS: BILL CRANE BRIAN DEMING Michigan had four first downs and moved all the way to the 21, but the Wolverines could gain but nine yards on their next three plays. Schembechler elected to go for the first down on the 12, instead of the game- tying field goal. Franklin took the snap, sneak- ed along the line, and quickly darted to his right and sailed clearly into the end zone. Just moments after this, the Wolverines expanded their lead to 20-9, capitalizing on a Stan- ford fumble. Laidlaw lost the handle on a sweep and Larry Banks took the opportunity to pounce on it just nine yards from paydirt. Gil Chapman ran for four yards and Franklin eluded two tacklers with some jazzy hip- fakes to fly into the endzone. quarter. Waldvogel, starting at his 44, hit Eric Test for 13 yards. One play later, Laidlaw burst through "a huge hole on a draw play for 27 yards, to the, Michigan 16-yard line. WALDVOGEL then went back to the air, but two passes fell incomplete. W i t h third and long, he tried again but Jilek poured through and dumped him for a 13-yard loss. The sacking took the Cards out of the range of Langford, whose 46-yard attempt was wide. Jilek's clutch maneuver and the missed field goal appeared to inspire the Wolverines, as they picked up an initial first down before punting again. The Cards were stymied, and Mich- igan got the ball on the Stan- ford 40 after their punt, by far Michigan's best field position of the game. The Wolverines proceeded to grind out the 40 yards in seven plays. Franklin hit George Przygodski for 14 yards and five running plays and a penal- ty enabled the Wolverines to get on the board. Bell scored the six-pointer from one yard out, but a mis- guided snap ruined Mike Lan- try's attempted PAT, and the game was tied 6-6. Michigan was moving now, but another TD drive was abort- ed at the Stanford 11 when Heater was stopped on fourth and one. The teams exchanged punts, but the Cardinals regain- ed possession on an interception by Larry McGovern, Michigan's first turnover of the season. However, the Wolverine defense stiffened, and the Cards settled for another field goal and a 9-6 halftime lead. Neither team could move the their 6 yard line midway through the period. Plagued with this poor field position, the Wolverines e 1 e c t e d to grind some meat. Three runs moved the ball out to the 24, where Franklin went to the2airand got the next best thing to a completion-pass interference. A Franklin-to-Smith a e r i a l and a 17-yard Lytle run high- lighted the rest of the drive.

Nothing thrills his heart or wins football games as effectively as the good old 80-yards-in-17 plays routine. Although the Maize and Blue were never more than 6 points behind all afternoon, their victory over the tenacious ii (though still winless) Cards could easily have been confused with a Bela Lugosi epic on "Chiller Theatre," quite unlike the cakewalks over Iowa, Colorado and Navy. The Wolverines' two long touchdown drives (of 94 and 78 yards). in the second half were most important in deciding the game's outcome, and provided a clear contrast between yester- day's game and the 1972 Rose Bowl fiasco. Those Wolverines of three years ago were a powerful, physical unit that thrived all season on "run and more run," but when forced to try something else, they couldn't do it. Those Wolverines couldn't complete a pass on third down. It was as simple as that. In yesterday's key fourth-quarter, time-consuming drive, Michigan was faced with third-and-long several times. Through- out the march, the spectre of the Cards taking over with just four points separating the teams haunted the fair-sized Michi- gan contingent of fans. They all remembered what one Don Bunce did to the Michigan secondary not so long ago. Each time, Dennis Franklin rose to the occasion and hit his receiver. Schembechler and his players were universally impressed with Stanford's play, but they did offer the 75-degree heat as a reason for their less-than-imposing start. "They're good, but the heat was definitely a factor," Franklin said. "I was very sluggish at the beginning, but I wasn't worried about the game J because we knew what we were doing wrong. We just didn't - execute in the first half." "We didn't block well early," Schembechler offered, "so .we couldn't engineer any first downs (zero in the first quar- ter). But we were an entirely different team later on." Some key defensive plays and fine punting by freshman __ John Anderson were all that kept the Wolverines breathing in the - opening stanza. Usually, the offense doesn't back the defense . against the wall with turnovers or a punt every four downs. But yesterday the Maize and Blue finally committeed a turn-rs4 over, and punted five times.
