TEN GOALS MOST IN YEARS



Defense:OSU

very stingy

By GEOFF LARCOM
Each year the same stale accusa-
tions are heard.
With each lopsided Ohio State
victory, cries surface that coach
Woody Hayes is pouring it on in the
second half.
Hey, don't accuse just the boss-
man, because it's not all his fault.
In addition, blame a defense which
continually forces turnovei, thereby
increasing the opposing defenses'
playing time. What results? Fatigue.
Fatigue that paves the way for a
flood-of Ohio State points.
Witness last week's 35-7 shredding
of Indiana.
The Hoosiers were sitting pretty at
the half with a 7-7 score to show for
their efforts.
Then came the second half, and
with it four unanswered Buckeye
touchdowns against the f a d i n g
Hoosier defense.
"I suppose we could have scored
even more than we did,"t said Hayes.
"We settled down in t e second half
and showed what we could do."
Who then, specifically, is at fault?
Firstly, the Buckeyes' leading
tacklers - Dave Adkins and Tom
Cousineau. Like Ron Simpkins and
Jerry Meter for Michigan, Cousineau
and Adkins man the inside lineback-
er position in Ohio State's 5-2 defense.

All-Big Ten selection Cousineau has
114 stops while Adkins leads the team
with 142.
Despite losing All-Americans Bob
Brudzinski and Nick Buonamici, the
Ohio State corps of down lineman
have been intimidating this year,
throwing opponents for a loss 33
times for a total of 189 yards.

eye line, along with the bitter
,memory of playing in last year's 22-0
loss to the Wolverines.
Ray Griffin, Wolverine heart-
breaker of two seasons ago, keys the
Buckeye secondary. Griffin, touted
as the best athlete on the OSU squad,
looks to repeat his 1975 performance
when he set up the winning Ohio State
touchdown with a fourth-quarter
interception-return of a Rick Leach
desperation bomb.
"I think this year's defense is on a
par with the one Ohio State had last
y e a r," said Bo Schembechler.
"They've got it all - speed, quick-
ness and strength."
The latest Big Ten stats lend cre-
dence to Schembechler's claim. Ohio
State is second to Michigan in
rushing defense with 148 yards per
game and total defense at 223yards
per game.
The Wolverines' improved passing
game must deal with the Big Ten's
leading pass defense, averaging a
miserly 74 yards a contest.
In rolling to a 9-1 season ledger,
Ohio State has registered four shut-
outs along with four other games of
seven points or less.
The Buckeyes are tops in the nation
in scoring defense (7.1 points a
game), while Michigan is fifth with a
9.1 average. Michigan is also sixth in

total defense (226.2 yards a game)
and eighthin rushing defense (107.9
yards a game).
The Buckeyes' low point yield is
even more impressive considering
that 29 of the points scored against
them came in their only loss of the
year, to Oklahoma. Northwestern
was the only other team to score
more than seven points against Ohio
State, losing to the Bucks 33-15.
Kelton Dansler
"Both teams usually have good de-
fenses," revealed Woody Hayes.
"This year is no exception."
Thanks for telling everyone,
Coach.

Special to The Daily
DETROIT - The ' Red Wings
showed a new dimension of their
continued renaissance - they can
bounce back after a difficult loss.
The Wings proved that by smash-
ing St. Louis, 10-1, before 10,274 at
the Olympia last night. Tuesday
Detroit made a two-for-two player
trade with Birminghamof the WHA
to beef up its goal scoring. But be-
fore Tim Sheehy and Vaclav Nedo-
mansky ever stepped out on the ice
in a Red Wing uniform, Detroit
powered its way to more goals than
they had scored in the last four
games combined.
THE WINGS are now 7-5-3 and
tied with Los Angeles for second
place in the Norris division pending
the outcome of the Kings' game last
night.
Shrugging off their 3-0 whitewash
in Philadelphia last Sunday night,
the Wings were determined not to
tie their longest losing streak of the
year - two games - against the
surprisingly weak Blues.
Detroit scored first in a sloppy
first period when Bob Ritchie

11"p Blues
cashed in on a shot that St. Louis
goalie Eddie Johnson just out and
out flubbed. Ritchie's soft bouncer
skipped over Johnston's left pad at
13:03 and the Wings led 1-0.
St. Louis came back 41 seconds
later bungling their way down the
ice. The Blues didn't take the play
up ice, rather, Detroit fumbled the
puck into it's own zone. Inge
Hammarstrom completed the com-
edy with a flip shot past Red Wing
netminder Ron Low.
AFTER THAT, Detroit settled
down and fired up.
Andre St. Laurent, Reed Larson,
Al McDonough, Larson again and
Bill Lochead lit the red. light to
balloon the Wings' lead to 6-1 after
two periods, and the rout was on.
After Larson's second goal, Ed
Staniowski replaced Johnston for
St. Louis. It didn't matter, as the
first shot on Staniowski resulted in
Lochead's goal.
THE THIRD PERIOD was strict-
ly for the fans, urging the Wings on
to the highest one game goal total
by a Detroit team in three years.

COLUMBUS (AP) - A Michigan
football victory over Ohio State is in the
cards Saturday.
Mary Siegried peeled off the cards in
her Mansfield, Ohio home this week
and announced:
"I'm going with Michigan. And seven
figures in the score."
The 64-year-old grandmother hopes
she's wrong. The odds are against it.
She says she has been 97 percent
correct in her card readings of two
decades.
"I wish it were the other way
around," she said via telephone
Tuesday. "I'm an Ohio State fan. This
is one time I'd like to be wrong."
The wife of a retired postal worker
laid out Ohio State's cards first, upon
request of The Associated Press.
"Around the nine of hearts, my wish
card, they got into spades. Black cards,
which indicate they won't win," she
said,
Then it was Michigan's turn with the
deck.
"I came up with hearts around the
nine of hearts," she said. "Red in-
dicates Michigan will win."
Only once before has she been asked
to read cards for an athletic outcome.
Two weeks ago, she correctly oredicted
