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 came clear the Spartans had won.

It was the first victory ever for Minnesota at West Lafay- ette in nine tries and raised the Gophers' season record to 4-5 overall and 2-4 in confer- ence play. Badgers fly IOWA CITY, (P) - Junior Bill Marek shredded Iowa's de- fense for 206 yards, including 170 in the second half, and scored four touchdowns yester- day to power Wisconsin to a 28- 15 Big Ten Conference football victory over Iowa.

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.

"I was proud of the ss way our guys had come off that beating in Ohio, and all the injuries we've had. I liked our attitude, and I thought we could pull off the upset." 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. , And the more one looks at it, the more one feels that if Greg Williams were alive today, Michigan would be 8-1. Wolverines look good-on paper own 31 yard line, checked by an aroused Illinois defense. 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. Heater banged up the middle 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 fly pattern, but Franklin's pass fell just off his fingertips. The Illini blitzed all three lineback- ers on the next play, and Frank- lin was dumped for a 20-yard 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.

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.
