The kicking game . . .
there's no question
By RICH STUCK
For a while Saturday Bo Schembechler looked like a worried
man as he answered questions from the press. Taking an occa-
sional sip of Coke, Bo, with obvious displeasure, rattled off
names of offensive linemen who've been hit by the injury bug
this season. Then out of the clear blue he blurted "but isn't
our kicking game great?"
He couldn't have said it any better. A look; at the final
statistics indicates a very even game-Michigan outgaining the
Ducks by a mere five yards, 240-235. But, ah, that kicking game.
What a difference it made.
Case in point: The kickoff team.
Placekicker Mike Lantry, erratic in his kickoffs last sea-
son, made no mistake yesterday as he boomed four out of
five deep into the endzone eliminating the runbacks. His
other kickoff was only brought back 18 yards as the Wolver-
ines swarmed all over Don Reynolds.
Case in point: The field goal team.
This has to be the area the coaches are most satisfied with.
Last season there was not the confidence in Lantry that seems
to be evident right now.
"I wouldn't hesitate to use him in a crucial situation-he's
really booting that ball, isn't he?" Schembechler queried to
newsmen. Kicking coach Jerry Hanlon, the one most responsible
for the implacements, credits Lantry with a big boost in his
own confidence. "Mike is concentrating more as he approaches
the ball. That, plus the feeling he has that he will put the ball
through the uprights, has made him a much better kicker."
Yesterday Lantry kept his perfect field goal record intact
as he drilled one through from 39 yards out.
Case in point: The punting team.
Perhaps the most interesting statistic from yesterday's tilt
is the Oregon punt return stats.
Barry Dotzauer equalled Lantry in his ability to hand the
Ducks bad field position. Nine times he punted and only twice
did an Oregon receiver dare attempt a runback of the high
spirals. And on those occasions the Wolverines allowed
Oregon negative 3 yards total return yardage.
"Dotz hangs the ball high enough to give us great cover-
age," Hanlon noted.
Case in point: The punt return team.
Easily the best part of Michigan's kicking game yesterday
was the return squad. In comparison to Oregon's minus yard-
age the Wolverines amassed' 110 yards, most of them coming
on Gil Chapman's fantastic 83 yard effort.
Chapman's run tied him with Darrell Harper and team-
mate Dave Brown for the longest punt return in Wolverine
history. But it was more than just a record yesterday. It was
the straw that broke the Duck's back. As the ball floated to
him the entire Oregon bench was yelling "Come on. We
need a fumble-drop it, drop it."
As Chapman entered the endzone their faces were long and
they knew they had been beaten.
Naturally Bo was asked about next week's intrastate clash
with Michigan State in East Lansing.
"Well, Hoban won't play and Coode is questionable. Frank-
lin? I wish I could tell you I just don't know. We are really
going to need the good kicking game. It's gonna play a big part
in the game I'll tell you that."
If it can come on as strong as it did yesterday, the Wolver-
ines will have a huge plus on their side.

lanky, good-throw, no-run Cipa ran
his club in a workmanlike fashion,

Cipa's presence, or rather Frank-'
in's absence, wasn't the deciding'
factor behind Michigan's spotty of-
fensive showing. Injuries, especial-
ly to the interior line, hurt the
Wolverines against the Ducks.
There were almost as many Mich-

yesterday as MIG jets high above

In addition, to Yallic, top scor-

LARRY CIPA got a chance to show his stuff yesterday at the
helm of the Wolverines and he responded in fine style with six
completions for 83 yards. A very small part of the 81,000 plus in
attendance can be seen in the background.

"YEA, I'D HAVE to say that was the
turning point of the game," a disconsolate
Singleton said afterward as he slumped
on a stool in the middle of the room.
"They did exactly what we thought they'd
do, but they're a good team."
The junior college transfer from Comp-
ton (California) College completed 15 of
35 aerials for 141 yards after replacing
wild-armed starter Norval Turner midway
in the opening period.
Singleton, who at 6-3 and 230 pounds was
able to stand up in the pocket and throw
short passes against the intense Wolverine
pass rush, was about all the Ducks could
muster in the form of offense.

The one facet of the Oregon offense that
seemed to pose a legitimate problem to
the Michigan defense was slippery tail-
back Don Reynolds. Schembechler had
called him the top back on the West Coast
and; yes, he admitted knoweldge of South-
ern Cal's Anthony Davis.
But although Reynolds wiggled and
squirmed for everything hp could get each
of the 23 times he carried the ball, his
final total was a meager 61 yards. Several
