DenBoer's first reception was
for 15 yards and a first down
at the Michigan 48; the second,
11 and a first at Wisconsin's
23; and the third an easy eight
yarder for the touchdown.
THE BADGERS then ran
their only three offensive plays
of the quarter and punted to
Gil Chapman on the Michigan
23. Chapman returned 13 yards
to the 38, and the Wolverines
were back in business.
Franklin mixed option keep-
ers with pitchouts to Bell and
quick openers to Heater, mov-
ing the ball to the Wisconsin
35. With a first down, Franklin
rolled right and pitched to Bell,
who raced down the right side-
line untouched into the end
zone.
The play was called back,
however, because Franklin
lateralled forward to Bell, cost-
ing Michigan 15 yards for an
illegal pass.
Badger Randy Frokjer ran
Franklin out-of-bounds for a six
yard loss on second down, but
first down at the 18.1
A PERSONAL FOUL gaveI
Michigan another first down,
and three plays later Bell
crashed over from a yard and
a half. Mike Lantry's third con-
version gave the Maize and
Blue a 21-7 lead, one play into
the fourth quarter.
Badger quarterback Gregg
Bohlig went straight to the air,.
and moved Wisconsin quickly
into Michigan territory.
First, Bohlig hittight end
Ken Novak over the middle
for 21 yards. Then he sent sec-
ond string fullback Larry Can-
ada up the middle for 10 more.
A 16 yard strike to Art Sang-
er gave Wisconsin a first down
at Michigan's 31, and three
rushes gained another first
down at the 17.
MICHIGAN HELD for three
downs, but on fourth down
Wolverine defensive back Har-
ry Banks was called for pass
interference at the 1, and Wis-
consin got another chance.
gap to 21-14 with 9:58 to play.
L a m i a ' s kickoff sailed
through the end zone, and Mich-
igan began another drive that
culminated with Lantry's 31-
yard field goal six minutes
later.
Michigan stayed almost ex-
clusively on the ground in the
drive, wearing down the clock.
Franklin did complete one pass,
a 14 yarder to Chapman for a
key first down at the Wiscon-
sin 49.
With third and three at the
Wisconsin 14, Franklin rolled
left and had both Chapman and;
Smith free near the goal line.
But Badger defensive tackle
Gary Dickert batted down his
pass, and the Maize and Blue
settled for Lantry's field goal.
Jeff Mack ran a sideline pat-
tern into the end zone and Boh-
lig lofted him a 26-yard pinpoint
pass over the outstretched arms
of Blue defensive back Tom
Drake. The touchdown pulled
Wisconsin to within four points,
and Jardine elected to go for
a two-point conversion. Morgan
fumbled Bohlig's pitchout, how-
ever, and the score remained
Michigan 24, Wisconsin 20.
The Badgers just missed re-
covering an onside kick, but
Michigan couldn't kill the
game's final 1:46. Wisconsin
got the ball again on its own 28
yard line with 11 seconds to
play.
Selvie Washington found an
opening in Michigan's prevent
defense but dropped Bohlig's
pass at the Michigan 30. Boh-
lhg tried again, throwing a long
toss that Brown intercepted at
the Michigan 34. Brown return-
ed the pilfered pass 29 yards,
and the game ended.

BADGER RON POLLARD climbs a mountain of humanity in scoring Wisconsin's first touchdown yesterday. Wolverines bat-
tling to hold Pollard back are Carl Russ (33), Steve Strinko (59), Don Dufek (35), and Dave Brown (6). The stubborn Badger
offense managed to gain 287 yards in total offense against the Maize and Blue defense, 206 on the ground. Ken Starch led
the Badger rushers with 89 yards in 15 carries. The 20 points Wisconsin scored against Michigan was the largest amount any
team had scored since the 1970 Ohio State game when the Buckeyes defeated the Wolverines 20-9. Michigan did outgain
Wisconsin, netting 279 yards on the ground and 71 yards in the air for a game total of 336 yards. Yesterday's outcome gives
the Wolverines a 3-0 record on the season and leaves Wisconsin mixed in the middle of the Big Ten race with a 1-2 confer-
ence record.

MADISON, WISCONSIN
IT HAS OFTEN been said that Bo Schembechler's teams are
usually stronger on defense than they are on offense. But
anybody who was here at Camp Randall Stadium yesterday after-
noon would have to think twice about that assumption-for Mich-.
igan's 24-20 victory over Wisconsin was clearly and simply a
case of the Wolverine offense bailing the defense out.
Schembechler himself called it "a hell of a game," and that
was an understatement. The two touchdown underdog Badgers,
thrashed around badly last week in Columbus, came back with ac
tremendous effort, even in defeat gaining a standing ovation from
the home fans as they left the field. But it was a superb, clutchj
second half performance by the Maize and Blue offensive unit
that saved Michigan from becoming another in the line of the
college football powers that have been upset this season.
The mettle of the Michigan team was well tested yesterday.:
For the second time in three weeks the Wolverines entered thet
locker room at the half without the lead.
They had been outgained and outplayed, and the largest sports
crowd ever in the history of the state of Wisconsin roared its
glee.
Michigan answered the challenge, coming out of the locker'
room and playing a letter-perfect third quarter, then holding onI
tight in the final stanza to keep itself established as one of the
Big Ten's, if not the nation's, Big Two.
The Blue attackers were literally awesome in that second
half. First, they put together brilliant touchdown drives of
70 and 62 yards, eating up the entire third quarter and a t
minute of the fourth. Then, after the Badgers had come backI
to pull within seven points, the Wolverines ground out 66 1
more yards to set up a Mike Lantry field goal that iced the
outcome.
The three drives were all things of beauty. None of thet
yards were easy. The Wolverines fashioned thirteen first downs
during them, ten straight times successfully converting on third
down situations. Denny Franklin dominated, completing his first+
four passes of the second half for four of the first downs, and
accounting for four more of them himself on rushing plays.
What the drives did though, was more than just put points
on the board - they also kept the ball away from the ram-
paging Badger offense, which never was kept under control
all day. When Wisconsin had the pigskin, it moved it-but
the Badgers could score no points without the football.
Schembechler and his players on both units agreed that in-
deed the offensive performance saved the day. "Our defense
was not very good - we didn't do a good job defensively up
front," the Michigan mentor explained, "But our offense moved1
the ball when it had to. Our defense did not really stop them
in the second half, but the greatest adjustment we made was
that we didn't give them the ball."
Franklin, too, was quite pleased by his squad's effort. "It's
very important that your offense can come on and get the win
for you on a day when the defense has an off-day," he said.
"We were very satisfied."
His defensive counterpart, signal-caller Steve Strinko,
admitted that his own crew had a bad afternoon. "We
didn't play our usual defensive ballgame," the big linebacker
declared. "We've been hearing so much about how good our
defense is - I guess maybe it went to our heads."
But this is not to criticize too harshly the Blue defenders,
who after all pulled the MSU game out of the fire only a week
ago. They simply ran into a true offensive juggernaut, and ac-
tually held the Badgers to 37 fewer yards than they rolled up last
week against Ohio State. "That was an excellent, excellent of-j
fensive team, said Schembechler. "By far the best we've seen,"'
echoed Strinko.
And the Wisconsin offense, it must be noted, was aided by
a pair of very controversial calls. The second Badger
touchdown drive was apparently halted when a Gregg Boh-
lig aerial sailed harmlessly out of the endzone on fourth
down. But the referees ruled interference on Michigan's Harry
Banks on the one yard line, for bumping tight end Ken No-
va k.w how a otthe intended receiver.

Special To The Daily
COLUMBUS - With arrogant
precision and surprising ver-
satility, Ohio State manhandled
the Indiana Hoosiers, 49-9, here
yesterday.
Almost overshadowing the
game itself was the shattering
of Otis Armstrong's Big TenI
career rushing record by
Archie Griffin. The junior tail-I
back ran for 146 yards, giving
him enough to break the Pur-
due fullback's career mark of
3315 yards.
The record was set in the
third quarter on a nine yard
run around right end. The
crowd of 87,671, second largest
in Ohio State history, respondedi
with a standing ovation.
Griffin's efforts, however,
were only a small part of OhioI
State's total domination of the
game. The Buckeyes netted 333
yards rushing and 235 yards
passing, while keeping Indiana
to 130 yards passing and 130
yards rushing. The awesome
Ohio State offense was un-
stoppable, punting only three
times, all in the second half.
"I think this is the most
versatile team we've ever had,"
Buckeye Coach Woody Hayes
remarked, adding, "Cornelius
(Greene) is developing into a
fine passer.'
The normally ground-oriented
OSU offense began throwing on
the first play from scrimmage.
Quarterback Greene's first pass
fell incomplete, but most of his
others did not as he completed
nine out of eleven including a
fourth quarter touchdown bomb
to split end Dave Hazel.
Greene proved his running
prowess by also netting 95 yards
on the ground.
Ohio State went well out
ahead in a hurry by scoring
three times in the first quar-
ter-twice on twenty and

BULLETIN,
OAKLAND (/P) - Charles
0. Finley, owner of the World
Champion Oakland Athletics,
said yesterday thathAlvin
Dark had accepted his offer
to manage the team again
during the 1975 baseball sea-
son.
The Buckeyes scored twice
more before the half on a one
yard run by fullback Pete John-
son and an eight yard pass to
wingback Brian Baschnagel.
Second half touchdowns by
fullback Harold "Champ" Hen-
son and end Hazel capped the
scoring for Ohio State.
The Hoosiers got six more
points in the closing seconds
of the game, capping off a forty-
two yard drive with a one yard
touchdown plunge by halfback
Nick Barnes. The two point con-
version attempt failed.

for a third in a 24-point Michi-
gan State second quarter to help
the Spartans to a 21-21 Big Ten
football tie with slightly favored
Illinois yesterday and mar Red
Grange Day.
In the final three seconds,
little Illini kicker Dan Beaver
was short and wide on a 41-
yard field goal try which
might have salvaged a vic-
tory.
Previously unbeaten Illinois
had to erase a 21-14 deficit in
a wild second period which
produced all except one of the
game's six touchdowns.
The Illini scored the first
time theyhad theballtmarch-
ing 67 yards in 15 plays with
Jim Phillips barging across
from the one for a 7-0 lead.
The free-wheeling 35-point
second quarter was opened by
Michigan State's first touch-
down. It was set up by Tom
Graves' interception of a Jim
Kopatz pass on the Illini 19.
Six plays later Baggett crashed
across from the one to give the
Spartans a 7-7 tie.
Baggett, a threat all after-
noon, completed six of 10 passes
for 125 yards and ran more
than any other Spartan to gain
46 yards on 23 carries.
Purdue triumphs
EVANSTON (R) - Quarter-
back Mark Vitali scored three
touchdowns and defensive tackle

terday to lead Purdue to a 31-
26 victory over Northwestern

yard sneaks and then dashed
around end for a five-yard
touchdown giving Purdue its
first conference triumph of
the season.

Anderson pass on the third play
of the game and nine plays lat-
er Vitali went over for the first
Purdue touchdown.
Late in the fourth quarter
with Northwestern threatening,

and Jim Pooler, with his rush-
ing, kept the Wildcats in the

downs, one on a 13-yard run.
Anderson completed 17 of 36
passes for 270 yards.

first offensive play to spark
the Gophers to a 23-17 home-
coming victory over Iowa in
Big Ten Conference football yes-
terday.

touchdown and finished with
210 yards in 21 carries. The
86 yard scoring run establish-
ed a new Minnesota record.

INDIANA'S COURTNEY SNYDER, the Big Ten's leading
rusher going into yesterday's action, found the yards were too
tough to get as he and the rest of the Hoosier squad ran into
