headquarters at the nearby Kel-
log Center, where he then tele-
phoned them for consultation.
The bizarre scene continued
when Buckeye mentor Woody
Hayes emerged calmly from
the OSU dressing room and
confidently predicted vindica-
tion for his Bucks. Apparently
mildly upset with the "over-I
sight" of the officials, Hayes
said, "One referee thought the
quarterback had the ball. He
didn't see Baschnagel dive into
the end zone. But the official
next to him did and put his
hands up.l
"My players tell me there
were two seconds left. The re-
ferees should have called a
time out. They (MSU) lied on
top, so the clock should have
been stopped to let us run a
play," Hayes said.t
THEN THE HORDE of re-l
porters crushed into Spartan
Coach Denny Stolz's locker-
room to hear Stolz proclaim
"I am the winning coach!" tol
the confusion of all those pre-
sent, since nothing was clear l
at that point.
Stolz praised his Spartans,
now 5-3-1 on the year, and re-
veled in his weird moment of
glory. "I've never seen a finer1
performance by a Michigan
State team. Just tremendous."
Moments later, it finally be-1

verdict. With a trail of report-
ers rivaling Henry Kissinger's,
Duke made his way to the press
box for his statement.
THE MAIN uncertainty was1
why one official had indicatedI
touchdown while the others did
not. Duke explained the call. '
"It was ruled by the back,
judge and the field judge that
time had expired before the+
last play. The line judge ruled1
touchdown."
In other words, the line judge
was performing his function by!
signalling for the score because+
his responsibility did not em-
brace the game clock.
UNFORTUNATELY, the craz-
iness of the post-game activities
may have taken something
away from the magnitude of
the Spartan victory.
Labels of invincibility had
been hung on the Buckeyes, but
the Spartans showed that they
may be the coming power in the
Big Ten.
MSU has defeated Ohio State,
in three of the last four yearsI
and, long touchdown strikes not-
withstanding, MSU did it with
its defense.
The Buckeyes garnered 377;
yards, but the Spartans were
tough in the vicinity of their
goal line. The Bucks settled
for short field goals twice, and
Tom Klaban's third attempt
was wide.
THE SPARTANS had numer-
ous chances to score in the first
half, but the teams were dead-
locked, 3-3, after thirty min-
utes. MSU split receiver Mike
Hurd dropped a Baggett bomb
early in the game, and the
Spartans couldn't move after
an OSU fumble.
Ohio State had the opportun-
ity to break openathe struggle
in the second half but could
only manage ten points before
the Spartans' eleventh hour
heroics.

The Michigan team heard the news of Greg Williams'
death from the radio in the taping room. Bo Schembechler
was told by his team at the pre-game meeting.
Though nobody knew Williams personally, the macabre un-
reality of having to play a football game hours after a player's
death affected the performers deeply. Tourists in the lobby of
the Ramada Inn remarked about how grim the team looked as
it headed to the buses that would go to Memorial Stadium.
Aside from "our kids really felt bad," Bo Schembechler:
would not comment much on Williams' death after the game.
Bo had more immediate problems for his concern.m
Gordon Bell excepted, the play of the Michigan offense,
yesterday can only be termed incompetent. Bo will un-
doubtedly have many unkind words to say about the dropped
passes, the missed blocking assignments and the untimely
penalties that prevented Illinois from being blown out of the
stadium in the first half.
"Our defense came together today, all 22 of us," claimed
Larry "Bocco" Banks. "The offense was -ing up, but we pulled
this game out."
But the defense too had its bad moments in the second half. ,

Michigan went right to work
offensively in the first half,
grinding out a 92-yard 12-play
touchdown drive after the open-
ing kickoff.
Bell and Franklin traded big
gainers in the drive, which cul-
minated with a 9-yard Bell dash
around left end.
Franklin set up his own
one-yard score in the second
quarter by hitting wingback
Gil Chapman all alone on a
post pattern for a 25 yard
gain on a third and 19.

for 10 more and a first down at
the Illinois 22 on the next plhy.
Then Franklin took over, carry-
ing on four of the next six plays
to finish the touchdown drive.
Michigan's defense held Pli-
nois at bay throughout the first
half, allowing the Illini just one
first down with only 1:15 re-
maining.
Dropped passes and penal-
ties squandered other Wolver-
ine scoring chances. A clip-
ping penalty nullified a 40-
yard Dave Brown punt return
to the Illinois 26, setting Mi(h-
igan all the way back to its
own 21.
Franklin again found Chap-
man all alone over the middle
for 48 yards to the Illini 15, but
a holding penalty set Micnigan
back 15 yards. MikegLantry
tried a 44-yard field goal, but
missed wide to the left.
The Wolverines got another
chance with less than a minute
and a half to go until intermis-
sion when Tom Drake inter-
cepted a Hollenbach pass and
returned it 10 yards to the Illi-
nois 48.
Jim Smith had Illinois de-
fender Mike Gow beaten on a

Illini blitzed all three lineback-

loss, ending the half.
"We've g o t momentum,"
Schembechler affirmed. 'I
call momentum going from
5-0 to 6-0 and on to 10 and
11-0."
The Wolverines have just two
opponents, Purdue and Ohio
State, standing between them
and that 11-0 season, a third
consecutive Big Ten champion-
ship, a Rose Bowl bid and a
possible national title.

MICHIGAN QUARTERBACK Dennis Franklin (9) escapes the defensive penetration of Illini's
Roy Robinson just in time, as he gets this lateral off in the direction of tailback Gordon
Bell. Franklin was instrumental in guiding the Wolverines on two long touchdown drives in
the first half and these proved to be the margin of victory.
MEYER PACES WIN
Harriers I
By ANDY GLAZER
The Michigan Cross Country team, buoyed by a cheering
home crowd, finished man for man ahead of favored Wisconsin
and won the 60th Annual Big Ten Cross Country Championship
yesterday at the Michigan Golf Course.
SOPHOMORE GREG MEYER, who finished tenth in last year's
championships, paced the Wolverines in the six mile race by
finishing second. Meyer finished behind last year's champion,
Craig Virgin of Illinois. Virgin's ti-me was 29:11.3.
Meyer had trailed Michigan State's Herb Lindsay for much
of the race, but pulled out in front in the last two miles.
"Lindsay tried something that was out of his reach," said
Meyer. "He went after Virgin the first few miles and wore
himself out. I went out easier, was fifth after two miles, and
then just ran my best."
..MICHIGAN'S NEXT FINISHER was surprising freshman Bill
Donakowski, who placed sixth. His performance, along with
that of fellow freshman Mike McGuire (who finished eighth),
was lauded by another 'freshman', first year coach Ron War-
hurst.
"I was just so proud of the way Donakowski and McGuire ran
today. Of course, I'm proud of everyone, but to do this well as
freshmen is tremendous."
Next for the Wolverines was senior Keith Brown, 'who finished
twelfth. Brown, who has been troubled by an injury to his rightE
heel, had said earlier in the week that "it'll be an upset if we
lose." Brown then mentioned the difficulty of learning the Mich-
ike crown
from each counting in the scoring. Jon Cross removed all doubt
of a Wolverine win by finishing 14th, ahead of Wisconsin's fourth
and fifth men.
If Cross had faltered, Jay Ansaett's finish (22nd) still would
have given Michigan the win, but by a much narrower margin.
Warhurst, who may have been the most nervous man in Ann
Arbor the past few days, was jubiliant in victory. "We haven't
been able to get into the (national) rankings because we were
picked to finish fourth in the Big Ten in pre-season." He
smiled. "After today people will start believing."
All the runners concurred in their praise of Warhurst. "Ron
convinced me I was fit," said Meyer, "and that was a big part
of doing well."
"You've got to give credit to the coach," said Bill Donakowski,
"he did a great job."
The win was the Wolverines first team championship in 20
years.
