The sluggish Wolverines spotted the Gophers an early 10-0 lead and never got back into the game. Coming in as three-touchdown favorites the Maize and Blue showed none of their touted of- fensive might. INSTEAD, MICHIGAN'S offense sputtered and slipped to a mere 80 yar- ds rushing while handing the ball over to Minnesota five times. Minnesota never reciprocated. The turnovers played a crucial role in the defensive struggle. As winning coach Cal Stoll put it, "Michigan is a great football team, but they didn't get the breaks. We got the breaks today." Stoll went on to call the game, "the greatest victory I have ever experien- ced." BO SCHEMBECHLER gave the credit to the Gopher defense. "The Minnesota defense was good, that's what won for them. "We didn't make a play all day. I've never seen our offense look like that. That's the poorest offensive game we've ever played," added the sullen Michigan mentor. Yesterday's shutout marks the first time in 113 outings that Michigan has failed to put points on the board. It also marks the third straight dime that Michigan has lost while playing on natural grass.. MINNESOTA'S playing field was in- deed a factor in the ineptness of the Michigan offense. The grass wasn't as fast a surface as Michigan's tartan turf and the Wolverines slipped on numerous occasions. "We never look very good on those fields," added Schembechler. Playing like they did all day long, the Wolverines took the opening kickoff and promptly punted four plays later.. Minnesota got the ball on its own 43. After fullback Kent Kitzmann slanted off left tackle for three yards, sophomore quarterback Mark Carlson took to the air hitting split end Jeff Anhorn on the sideline for 23 yards. THE PASS was Carlson's first in his college career. Yesterday was his first start for the Gophers and initial ap- pearance of the season.'Stoll decided to start him at 2:00 a.m. yesterday mor- ning. An illegal procedure penalty stalled the Minnesota drive. Minnsota kicker Paul Rogind came on and booted his first of three field goals, a 41-yarder to put the Gophers in the lead, 3-0.

Africa's policy JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Justice Minister James T. Kruger defended South Africa's crackdpwn on blacks and blamed President Carter for part of the trouble as new criticism poured in yesterday from abroad and from opponents at home. In The Netherlands, ancestral home of the dominant white Afri- kaaners, Foreign Minister Max van der Stoel stated in a radio broadcast, "If they (the South African govern- ment) continue with their present policies they are heading directly for disaster." HE SAID THE Netherlands, which- has already called its ambassador home, is preparing a new statement to the South African government. In Kenya the secretary-general of the All Africa Conference of Church- es, Canon Burgess Carr, called the crackdown "a fateful act of despera- tion."' Scattered protests against the measures have brought the arrest of at least 150 blacks and Indians. A school was burned and cars and buildings stoned. ACTING ON cabinet orders, Kru- ger closed two black newspapers Wednesday, detained at least 50 prominent blacks, placed restriction orders on seven whites, and banned. 18 blacks and interracial groups, virtually all significant such organ- izations in the country. The editors of 19 South African newspapers said they will not be intimidated by the government's crackdown on black-power groups and the press. In a joint statement Friday the editors expressed their "profound condemnation of the arbitrary ac- tion" agains the black newspapers World and Weekend World, and two ., prominent editors. Croup ou By STEVE GOLD. The outbreak of severe croup whichhad hospitalizedat least 20 Ann Arbor children has begun to level off and is expected to "burn. itself out" in the next few days, doctors said yesterday. Dr. Joseph Baublis, pediatrician at University Hospital reported that "of the actual cases admitted, most have been discharged or show consider- able improvement. It appears that the outbreak has leveled off and will, recede in the next few days.''" CROUP IS a virus which normally affects youngsters, causing severe break under control "IF THE STEPS are intended to in- timidate other editors, we record that we have no intention of altering our way of conducting newspapers," the editors said. Kruger ordered the Worild news- papers closed down, arrested their editor Percy Qoboza and Donald Woods, editor of the Daily Dispatch. He also closed down 18 black consciousness organizations and ar- rested more than 50 whites and blacks in a crackdown on govern- ment dissidents. The editors, who represented 19 English-language newspapers, said they saw the government action "as direct threats to the press, to the cause of free expression and to the right of every citizen to know the facts about his country." DEFENDING the action in a tele- vision broadcast Friday, Kruger waved documents which he claimed contained evidence of black plans for unrest. The documents, he said, were the results of secret investigations made at an unspecified time by unidentified committees. He refused to release details saying they were "confidential." He said the committees who made the reports consisted of a regional magistrate and two jurists, none of whom he identified. See KRUGER, Page 2 coughing and noisy, difficult breath- ing. Generally, it can be treated at home by providing the victim with a vaporizer. It usually clears up within 48 hours, doctors said. This outbreak, however, repre- sents "a slightly altered germ that found a lot of susceptible children," according to Baublis. "The virus causes an obstruction in the throat. which particularly affects children' because their air passages are so' small." In several of the cases admitted to Mott's Children's Hospital here, breathing tubes were required to prevent the victims from choking. ALTHOUGH croup, is not uncom- mon in children, doctors had been concerned by the unusually severe nature of this outbreak, even fearing death for some of their young patients. In another health-related story, a family which health officials thought may have contracted diptheria dur- ing a recent visit to Ontario has been located, and is apparently free of the disease, officials said yesterday. Rocky Lunham and his family visited Kettle Point Indian reserve last month.

Elderly all winners I See CROUP, Page 8 By DENISE FOX Squeezed elbow-to-elbow around a U-shaped table, 25 senior citizens sit as if in a trance, intently listening for the caller's voice. As the call goes out, one man jumps out of his chair and yells "Bingo s" Bingo, however, was not the only attraction for the more than 300 senior citizens who turned out for the Senior Health Fair, held in the newly-opened Scott and Amy Prud-~ den Memorial Clinic located on Wall Street. HEARING TESTS, podiatric screening and numerous displays also kept the participants occupied. The purpose of the fair, according to Greg Yank, hospital administra- tor of the Turner Clinic, was to intro- duce the geriatric clinic, part of the University's medical school, to senior citizens aged 60 and over in Washtenaw and nearby counties. "The opening of Turner CLinic represents the launching of the first - phrase of a new comprehensive geriatric program," Yank said. YANK SAID doctors have not met the health care needs of the elderly.
