It was his sixth homer in the last ,10 games. Mets ace Tom Seaver, 19-10, got the victory, with relief help from bullpen star McGraw. After Jones' homer, the Mets made it 3-0 in the fourth when Rusty Staub opened the inning with a single.

Schembechler did note that his second half play was affected by the incident. "It was bothering him a bit during the game and has swollen considerably since then," Schembechler noted. If Franklin can't go, reserve quarterback Larry Cipa will get the nod. Kevin Casey and Tom Slade will back him off.

Blue must improve, Dan Borus - YOU WEREN'T the only one who was disgusted with the Michigan Wolverines' performance last Saturday. Bo Schem- bechler was also. Still hot after the "'worst game I've ever coached in Michigan Stadium,' Bo Schembechler had another concern yesterday. And one the average fan wouldn't think would bother him at all-the passing game. "I had confidence in the passing game a couple weeks ago. Now I'm not as confident. Frankly our passing attack is in trouble," a restless Schembechler said. "We're not executing well. Pass protection broke down completely. Our receivers aren't making any moves, just too many mental mistakes." Questioned extensively as to why the Wolverines went to the air only three times the entire Navy ball game, Schembechler gave this answer: "We didn't get any field position whatsoever. The defense just couldn't get us the ball the way they did before." Actually Michigan went to the air almost as many times as it usually does in the course of a game. The only catch, and it is a big one, is that quarterback Dennis Franklin didn't get the ball airborne. In fact, nine-count 'em-nine times a pass play was called and nine-count 'em-nine times, Franklin was either caught or forced to run out of the pocket. That, dear friends, is not execution nor is it Bo Schembechler football. So maybe, just maybe, we'll see a little more flying pigskins come Saturday afternoon. Two variables should be considered in this: 1) the state of Franklin's injury. Quarterback Franklin sustained an injury to his left hand. If it is improved enough, Franklin will go. The Oregon game will be the last non-conference game to test out the passing attack and I don't think Schembechler, if he is serious about developing one, will pass it up (pardon the pun). 2) the tenacity of the Oregon defense. According to Schembechler, who this week will have no problems in convincing his charges that the Ducks will be tough, "No one has ever driven on the Oregon defense." If that's so, then Michigan probably will try. if the Wolverines blow the Ducks out early (Oregon has made the Big Error this year), then the passing game will be in gear. Schembechler also spent yesterday's luncheon lauding the performence of center Tom Jensen. Jensen, who has certainly won the starting job, really fired out from his center position. He did so to such an extent that the rest of the line looked slow in comparison. Also in for faint praise after the Navy debacle was tailback Gordie Bell. Bell is in open competition for the tailback spot and could well nail down the spot with a good practice week. Peeved by the performance of Chuck Heater, especially the fumble caused by the junior's poor method of handling the ball, Schembechler indicated the job was up for grabs. But the big story yesterday was an admission and a resolu- tion. The admission was that the Wolverines were not ready to play. Schembechler took part of the blame for that. The resolution was that the Wolverines will be ready against Oregon. Schem- bechler will see to that.

Another pleasant, worry free afternoon for' Woody Hayes and his men from the Buckeye state. Dead wrong. OSU's Rose Bowl hopes suffered a' severe blow this past weekend as; 226-pound junior Harold Henson,j was operated on Sunday for torn; knee ligaments and is expected toi be out for the remainder of the season. This incident overshadowed an- other impressive victory for Ohio State (2-0), with touchdown runs of 72 yards by quarterback Cor- nelius Greene and a 68 yard burst by super sophomore Ar- chie Griffin. Henson, who last year scored 14 more touchdowns than anyone in Columbus and more than any- one else in the nation, was carried off the field late in the first per- iod. "It was an expensive victory," lamented Coach Hayes. "I don't thing I've ever lost a player of Henson's caliber so early in the season . . . but you have to re- group, count your blessings, and start over again." Henson is listed in good condition. Other teams in the Big Ten did not fare so well on the scoreboard, however, as Michigan (3-0) and In- diana (1-2) were the only other, schools emerging victorious.
