PURDUE'S OFFENSE THREATENS -,
Ml
Mich
By AL HRAPSKY
The sign hanging in the Michi-
gan locker room this week,:
"Don't let the Boilermakers be
Spoilermakers," is not merely
a ruse to arouse a Wolverine:
squad that has had problems
converting yardage into touch-
downs lately. Instead, it serves
as a constant reminder of what
has been occurring regularly
this year in college football-
upset!
The Wolverines will be vy-
ing for their fourth straight
Big Ten championship and
fifth in the last six years as i
they take the field against a
stubborn and erratic Purdue
team that upset Notre Dame,
in a regionally televised game
today.
Although the Riveters have
been unable to upend Michigan
in the last six years, they have
consistently posed a strong
threat to Wolverine title bids.
In fact, as recently as 1971 and
1972 the Wolverines had to re-
sort to their kicking game to
pull out last minute victories.
In 1971 the ' Boilermakers
forced Michigan's Dana Coin to
produce a 25-yard field goal in
the last 43 seconds to preserve
a 20-17 victory and an outright
championship.
That old axiom that history
repeats itself seemed to sur-
face a year later when a Mike
ig an
Lantry field goal sailed through
the uprights to ice a 9-6 decision
and the assurance of a tie for
the title.
Hopefully Michigan will not
have to rely on another last
minute boot to win a share of
the conference championship
as Lantry has only connected
on four field goals in 13 at-
tempts this season.
The last time that Purdue
lived up to its Spoilermaker
image against the Wolverines
was in 1966 when Bob Griese
led them to an exciting 22-21
victory. That game was decided
in the third quarter when Griese
punted 44 yards to the Michigan
goal line where Rick Sygar was
tackled in the end zone for a
safety.
Although the Boilermakers
sport a dismal 3-5-1 record com-
ing into today's game, they
average 401 offensive yards a
game in Big Ten play, which is
second only to Ohio State. Michi-
gan averages 381 yards in Big
Ten contests.
Michigan's defensive sec-
ondary will be put to the test
as 154 yards of Purdue's
average offensive total has
come via the airways. Larry
Burton, an Olympic sprinter
who was fourth in the 200
meter at Munich in 1972, has
collected nearly one half of
the Riveters aerial yardage
battles Purdue
and should prove a menace to
Michigan defenders.
Bo Schembechler, trying to
put the big game in Columbus
next week in the back of his
mind, commented on Purdue's
explosive offense.
"With a solid ball club like
theirs, you can't say that you'll
try to stop their passing game
and then forget about the run.
They have a good all around
attack.
"They also have one of the
finest sets of wide receivers
we've seen all season."
According to Schembechler,
the cold front and snow flur-
ries that have settled upon
the state may prove a factor
in the game today and judging
from Purdue's recent perform-
ances, this may work to the
Wolverines' advantage.
It seems that the Boilermak-
ers have a tendency to cough
up the football-a fumble of the
opening kickoff against Min-
nesota last week probably cost
them a 24-20 decision.
Coach Alex Agase, who has
never succeeded in defeating a
Schembechler-coached Michigan
squad in his years at North-
western and Purdue, is most
wary of the threat posed by a
healthy Dennis Franklin.
"Franklin is an intricate part
of Michigan's offensive plans,"
Agase relates. "He's an impor-
tant fctor inAthe o ptioplMa

CHICAGO UPI - Big Ten Commissioner Wayne Duke
last night publicly reprimanded Illinois Coach Bob Black-

"We had outstanding defen-
sive play," said sophomore'
Greg Nate',. Coach Dan Farrell
also cited an improved defense
as well as "solid goaltending"
as factors contributing to the
win.
But the real surprise was the
scoring onslaught. "We were
taking advantage of our shots,"
Moretto contributed his sec-
ond score at 6:34 of the second
period on a shot from ten feet
in front of the Minnesota goal.
To the disappointment of the
partisan Williams Arena crowd
of 7,352, it was a hapless eve-
ning for netminder Moen. Fin-
ally, after allowing his eighth
goal at 3:18 into the final
stanza on a shot just inside the
blue line from senior Werner,
Moen was replaced by Jeff
Tscherne.
But even that did not hinder
the scoring assault. Larry John-
son, like Zimmerman, a native
of Edina, made an unassisted

third period and Morrison add-
