I knew all along I was wrong, but ever since last summer I was looking forward to Ohio State. Now that's all that's left, and I'm sure relieved." In very simple, elementary terms Michigan co-captain Dave Gallagher described yesterday's slow-starting cakewalk over Purdue. Only one thing, overconfidence, could have denied the Wolverines their date with destiny a week hence, but a man named Schembechler wouldn't let it happen. Not many coaches have the inner power which enables them to impose their very will upon their players. Johnny Wooden for sure, maybe George Allen. Now add the name of Bo Schem- bechler. Bo had to realize that no matter how hard he tried, and he tries very hard, he wasn't going to keep his players' minds off next week. There's just too much hatred, enmity, and bitterness built up between Ohio State and Michigan for the players of both schools to think of anything else., Schembechler knows this, and he's dedicated his entire ex- istence to guard against that ever-possible upset which would deny him of his lifeblood. But even the brutal force of Schembechler's personality simply wasn't enough to alter the course -of his athletes' think- ing. Purdue played inspired, hard-hitting football on this glis- tening afternoon in the heart of the Midwest farm country. pugnacious coach Alex Agase went so far as to term his team's first half play, "our finest of the season." But the embattled Boilermakers just didn't have the talent they had the previous two seasons which they so desperately needed to finally defeat Michigan after those two crushing three- point losses in 1971 and 1972. Agase pointed to his team's mistakes in the second half (one fumble, two interceptions) as the reason behind his club's sec- ond-half collapse, and you kind of expected him to say that. His fourth-down decisions and the pass for two points with the score 20-9 were proof positive that he came to play. Still, the stark difference between the Maize and Blue's first and second half play spun a far more credible explana- tion of the game's turnaround. Michigan moved the ball fairly well over the initial 30 min- utes, but never for more than one or two first downs per drive. When Purdue had the ball, it was much the same story. While Purdue didn't move the ball anywhere near at will, some shoddy Michigan tackling and leaky pass defense constantly had them in trouble. But despite the Wolverines' inability to outplay-let alone dominate - their foes, a brilliant, diving catch by the forgotten wingback, Clint Haslerig, gave them a 6-3 lead at intermission. As the teams moved to their respective dressing rooms, a helluva lot of people must have been having some second thoughts about Michigan's chances against the Buckeyes. And, you know, they had every reason to be so minded. But after what must have been an earthy halftime discus- sion, about which Schembechler later admitted that "I told them to stop messing around and just run at 'em," Michigan charged out like a team with something to prove. Perhaps not since the opening drive of the Stanford game, when the offense marched 85 yards in 16 plays, had the Michi- gan attackers performed as they did in their 75-yard, 13 play junket to open the third period. It was brutal, dehumanizing football, the kind that has given so many reporters so much copy the past five years. One pass was thrown. Two option pitches outside were tried. The rest were straight up the gut, with Ed Shuttlesworth and Chuck Heater carrying the mail. "We just came out and controlled the line of scrimmage," guard Mike Hoban said afterwards in the restrained-but- happy Michigan locker room. "And that was the ballgame." The Wolverines destroyed the stingy Riveter defense to such an extent that only once did they fail to score a touchdown when they had the ball - and that was because the clock ran out. So much will be written in the coming six days about Satur- day's showdown that it seemed ridiculous to even ask anyone about what it will take to beat Ohio State. Everyone knows that it will, of course, take a supreme effort from every Michigan player to defeat the top-ranked Bucks. The betting line will probably favor Woody's men by about 4-5 poirts, and a neutral observer comparing the scores of the two teams would have to think that's about right. Somebody asked Schembechler about the fact that he'd be the underdog next week. Bo paused, thought for several moments, and then grinned. "No, I like being the underdog," he said quietly. "But an underdog that's 10-0 isn't all that much of an underdog now, is it?" They all knew the answer. SCOR ES eluded the fingertips of speedI merchant split end Larry Burton, who had beaten Dave Elliott cleanly. Still, the drive reached Michigan's 33-yard line before a blitzing Don Dufek nailed Bobrow- ski for a 6-yard loss on fourth down. The Michigan attack continued to sputter throughout the first half,I while the Boilermakers piled up yardage between the twenties. But, as they did last week against Illi- nois, the Wolverine attackers, par-' layed a big play into a shaky half time lead. This time a 41-yard scor- ing strike to Clint Haslerig provid- ed the intermission margin. Haslerig made a spectacular, play to come up with the football. He was covered step for step by Purdue's Fred Cooper, but the fleet wingback leaped, outwrestled Cooper for the ball, and came to . rest with most of his body out of bounds. However, the football was in the endzone, the touchdown sig- nal was given, and 56,485 Purdue partisans were hopping mad. J With the "aid" of a bad snap and placement, Mike Lantry saw his perfect conversion record go by the boards. The Boilermakers did much to make the Wolverines regret their miscue as they drove all the way to the Wolverine eleven. With just 12 seconds on the clock, Steve{ Schmitt gave the Black and Gold1 three points with a 27 yard field1 goal.1 THE FIRST HALF - in which Purdue had outgained Michigan in total yards (155 to 130) and in firstE downs (10-7) - was soon forgot- ten as the Wolverines came storming back.

On and on it went-75 yards in 13 plays. From the Purdue 14 yard line, Franklin gave the ball to Shuttlesworth three straight times, then faked the handoff to Easy Ed and took it in himself for the score. Michigan got the ball aright back when Dotzauer made a diving in- terception on Purdue's 38. This time, it took-only eight tries to hit paydirt. The big plays were a 17- yard jaunt up the middle by Heat- er and Franklin's 12-yard touch- down gallop - a naked roll-out which left two Purdue linebackers talking to themselves. BUT THE Boilermakers didn't roll over and die when the Wolver- ines came out of their burrow. They took the ensuing kickoff and marched 62 yards in eight plays to make it 20-9, Bobrowski hitting Dlerrick on an 18-yard touchdown pass. Here, Boiler boss Alex Agase opted for a two-point conversion, but Bobrowski's pass was caught out of bounds. Two one-yard touchdown runs by Bob Thornbladh capped workman- like fourth-quarter drives, upping the count to 34-9. Thornbladh and Gordon Bell supplied most of the legwork in the drives. Bell replaced Heater, who was at his hard-nosed best, rushing for 84 yards in 14 carries. The third' of Michigan's talented tailbacks, Gil Chapman, didn't make the trip because of a persistent groin pull. Agase, who has a pretty hard nose himself, had plenty of praise for his out-manned ballclub after' the contest. "Our boys deserved a better break than that," he lament- ed. "We came to play and I really thought we had a chance." He blamed turnovers and field posi- tion for the game's second-half turnaround. "YOU CAN'T GIVE 'em the short route to a touchdown like we did," he explained. "That's whatj killed us." The win was not without its price for Michigan. Linebacker Craig Mutch missed most of the game with a sprained knee which shelved him in the first quarter. He's listed1 as doubtful for the Ohio game.I GOPHERS SQUEA -ucks 4 Doily Photo by KEN FINK MICHIGAN END Don Eaton puts the clamps on Purdue running back Pete Gross (35, partially obscurred).

But hooking penalties to Hughes and Kardos with less than two minutes to play gave the Spartans a two man advantage which they supplemented by pulling their goal- tender and placing six men inside the Michigan blue line.
