Sunday, October 1, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine ... . I Special By RANDY PHILLIPS It was a good ol'. "grind meat" offense again yesterday when the Wolverines smash- ed through Tulane's touted defense for a con- vincing 41-7 victory. However, the real key to the 41 points scored had to be in the play of the defense and the specialty teams. True, fullback Ed Shuttlesworth gained a whopping 151 yards for three TD's, and the offense moved well at times, but two plays in the first quarter were the ones that broke the back of the Green Wave. With Michigan up 7-0 after Shuttlesworth's 21 yard scoring jaunt, Tulane tried to move the ball from its own 20. But Randy Logan picked off an errant Mike Walker terial and galloped into the end zone. Halfback Roy Burke threw a nifty block to spring Logan for the last ten yards. Two series later Tulane got the ball again deep in its own end after a 62 yard Barry Dotzauer punt and was denied a first down by the "stretch but don't give" Wolverine defense. The Green Wave punted to speedster Gil Chapman, who took the ball up the mid- dle, broke two tackles and sped 49 yards for a score. That tally gave Michigan a quick 21- 0 lead in the first period, and it had to take much of the fight out of Tulane. Wolverine coach Bo Schembechler sum- med it up well: "We had respect for Tulane; they're a good defensive football team. Those two plays (punt return, interception) kind of settled the issue, but other than that it is 7-0 at the half and a tough ball game." The Greenies didn't roll over and play dead after the quick three touchdown spurt by Michigan. They scrapped all the way squads key victory and did not allow the Wolverines to score again until the third quarter, but poor field position and having to play catch-up football against Michigan's strong defense kept Tu- lane bottled up the rest of the day. Tulane never got possession of the ball past its own 36 yard line, and five times had to start inside its twenty. Much of this was the result of Barry Dotzauer's fine punt- ing day, and much of the poor field posi- tion can also be attributed to good coverage on both punts and kick-offs. David Lee could only manage 11 yards on punt returns for the Green Wave. Schembechler noted, "No one has run a punt back for over ten yards against us all year. .. Dotzauer booted the pigskin for kicks of 62 and 63 yards, and ended up with a su- perb 45 yard average for the game. Kick-off specialist Mike Lantry consistently reached the endzone on his boots, a feat that Michigan kickers have not been able to do in a long while. But Lantry did have his problems with accuracy-missing a 31-yard field goal attempt and an extra point try. Meanwhile, the Wolverines were getting untracked on offense from their own 49, 48, 40, and the Tulane 49. Chapman set up most of this fine field position by rambling 118 yards on seven punt returns and one kick-off return. The little speedster from New Jersey fin- ally was able to make use of his open field running, his specialty in high school. "It felt kind of good-my first college TD. I'm basically an open field runner," Chapman offered. Only a sophomore, and only 5-9, Chapman did make a few mistakes that smacked of inexperience. Twice he caught the ball on punts with his knee touching the ground, and that prevented a return on the kicks. His running from the wingback position netted only 12 yards, and Chapman admits he needs to improve his running from scrimmage. He has a little trouble following his blockers on occasion. He.admitted, "I need a little more experience running. In high school the holes were as big as a truck." On his TD scamper, Chapman followed his blocking well enough on what was- set up as a middle return. Although he was happy with his one score he felt he "should have broken three of them." He nearly did break two more - both in the second quarter. Schembechler felt the touchdown run real- ly helped Chapman. "In high school he broke away all the tine, but he has to learn you don't do that up here. But now he knows that he is capable of breaking the big play at some time or other," Bo commented. Michigan's offensive play was very good and not so good at various times in the game. It was unlikely that the Wolverines could control the ball against the Tulane de- fense as well as they did against UCLA a week ago. Against the Bruins the offense drove the length of the field several times for scores. This week they didn't have to. Michigan didn't make any big mistakes- no fumbles and no interceptions. That makes only one fumble in three games which is what the Wolverines have to do to make their type of game go. A tough defense, no mis- takes, good specialty team work, and a ball control offense spell success, for Michigan football this season. It was successful for the third straight time against Tulane to the tune of 41-7.

Some 84,000 fans (including 13,000 high school band members) filed out slowly, some drunk, some high, some rowdy; leaving their crumpled beer cans and empty wine bottles behind. A typical Ann Arbor Football Saturday. Everyone went home happy, provided they've learned what and what not to expect from Michigan football. For instance: Expect to see Michigan win. Do not expect to see a close game. Expect to see the same play run many, many times. Do not expect to see many passes. Once you know the score, you're alright. Let's take a look at yesterday's game. Michigan, ranked eighth, plays Tulane, ranked 18th; both undefeated. Michigan is the consensus favorite, but Tulane is a good team and Michigan is not taking them lightly. The game starts and bang, Michigan has three touchdowns in the first quarter, two of them contributed by its defense. Now every seasoned Michigan-watcher in the place knows that when Bo Schembechler has a 21-0 lead, he intends to keep it. No fancy stuff, just good, solid ball-control football. The game is over. The only question is whether-or not Tulane will ever score. The Green Wave did manage to put seven points on the board, but only after Michigan tried everything in the book to stop them. After the Greenies completed a 50-yard pass against Michigan's second string that moved them to Michigan's 14-yard line, the aroused first-stringers came back on the field to try and stop Tulane. But in their exuberance, they cost the Wol- verines five yards for an illegal substitution. "Our defensive team does not like to be scored on," a smiling Schembechler said, defending what someone suggested was his only mistake of the game. "They (the first-stringers) requested permission to enter the game." And it seems they sent them- selves in. But seven points given up is no crime, especially when a team's psyche is eased after the three quick strikes that Michi- gan came up with yesterday. The fact that they didn't quit and scored three more is what'the country's pigskin pollsters ought to consider this week. Ed Shuttlesworth, living up to his preseason All-America tabs, had another super day, scoring three times and thundering for 151 yards .on 20 carries. The big tank from Cincinnati is on his way to a 1,000 yard season, picking up on hints dropped to him in practice from Schembechler and the coaching staff. "We've been trying to get Shuttlesworth to pump those legs more," Schembechler said, "because basically he can be a break- away guy. He's doing that now and it's real good." But Big Ed would have liked to break away a little more than he did. "I got some pretty nice holes," he said, combing his hair. "But, man, I want one of those nice long ones - 60, 70 yards - like that. Who said I got to pump my legs more? When I'm in shape, I can run pretty good. I guess I can go around 4.6 in the 40. I guess I'm in shape right now. "I'd like to go 1,000 yards this year, yeah. I got some other goals, too, but I'm keeping those to myself until the season's over. " The Wolverines should have another "easy" game this week when Navy comes to town. And that should give Schembech- ler another chance to look at his talent. One man he may want to give a good shot to next week is sophomore tailback Chuck Heater. The six foot, 205-pounder ran with authority, gaining 51 yards in just seven fourth quarter carries. "Heater looked good," Schembechler said. "He's a powerful back and we're pleased with his running. He should see more and more action."

From there Shuttlesworth powered his way into the endzone for his second score of the day. A little later defensive back Burks made his second fine play of the contest, squelching a Tulane threat .with an interception of a Walker aerial on the Wolverines' three yard line. 'eWalker and sophomore SteveFo- ley who alternated at the helm had a rough afternoon at the hands of the Michigan defense which has now allowed only two touchdowns in three games. Walker managed to complete only three passes and was inter- cepted twice. While Foley, a scrambler, fared better, complet- ing seven for 104 yards, he could- n't move the team close enough to score until early in the fourth period. Earlier in the game Lee Gibson had missed a 47 yard field goal attempt, but the Green Wave final- ly made it onto the scoreboard with about twelve minutes left to play. After taking Barry Dotz- auer's punt on its own 36, Tulane marched to the Wolverines' 14 on a fifty yard pass from Foley to fullback Lyndon Lassiter that Dave Zuccarelli just missed blocking. After being penalized five yards for illegal substitution, the tern parorily stunned Wolverines were caught for pass interference giving the Wave the ball on the one. Foley then carried the ball in for the score. Undaunted, the Michigan team recovered'its poise and the onside kickoff on its own 46, gaining the same fine field position it had been getting during the whole clash, and Franklin marched the squad to the four yard line with the help of a 22 yard run around right end by Chuck Heater and Shuttlesworth then crashed in for his final tally of the day. Heater, coming in at tailback in the fourth quarter had a fine aft- ernoon, rushing for 51 yards in only seven carries while Larry Cipa, in his one series at the helm, piloted the team to its last score of the day, a one yard plung by Thorn- bladh set up by Cipa's passes to John Daniels, Thornbladh and Larry Gustafson. Tulane made one last ditch ef- fort to get on the board again but time ran out on them as Foley's last second pass for Tom Thibi- deaux from the Michigan 47 fell incomplete. Surveying the wreckage, Tulane coach Bernie Ellender had noth- ing but praise for the Michigan team.
