"I'm on the phone to the coaches upstairs," explained the injured Dwight Hicks about his method of keeping alert. "That and I try to stay in the game as much as I can." "Never a dull moment," joked fullback Russell Davis, who sat out yesterday's game with a thigh injury. "I thought the game interferred with the half-time show," said Wake Forest coach Chuck Mills. However, the Demon Deacon coach didn't get a chance to see the more than 150 bands on the field simultaneously. "We had a television in the locker room betwen halves, so we watched Ohio State and UCLA. Mismatch from the start Mills felt the game was a mismatch from the start. "Scoring a lot of points must be gratifying for the id, but the lust for pointsj is insatiable," said Mills. "I'm not disappointed," he said. "I think we contributed to the margin of victory, but the outcome would have been the same whether we allowed the punt returns (Jim Smith returned two Deacon punts to set up a first-half touchdown and a field goal) or not. "~ '_) o..U *q nzp rm n~r o By The Associated Press Tom Skladany kicked a 25-yard field goal in the fourth quarter yesterday to give eighth-ranked Ohio State a 10-10 nationally - televised football tie with fourth-rated UCLA. In the closing minutes, both sides ap- parently played for a tie, running the ball instead of going to the air. THE BUCKEYES, now 2-1-1, drew a chorus of boos when they ran seven suc- cessive running plays and punted the ball instead of tryinga long-range field goal in the last minute. Skladany punted to the Bruins' seven- yard line and UCLA, 3-0-1, ran out the clock with three rushing plays. The Buckeyes, beaten by UCLA 23-10 in the Rose Bowl, struck for a 7-0 lead on fullback Pete Johnson's four-yard run mid- way in the second quarter. Frank Corral booted a 47-yard field goal to cut the deficit to 7-3 midway through the third quarter and took a 10-7 lead on quarterback Jeff Dankworth's one-yard sneak with more than 13 minutes to go. OHIO STATE took the ensuing kickoff and drove 13 plays to the Bruins' seven to set up Skladany's tying three-pointer. Elsewhere, Notre Dame scored three times quickly yesterday and its tough defense held Michigan State to two field goals as the 18th-ranked Irish defeated MSU, 24-6. Notre Dame shredded the Spartan de- fense in the first half, with Dave Reeve hitting a field goal and halfback Al Hunter diving for a touchdown to give the Irish a 10-0 lead after their first two posses- sions. S bow In the second half, the. Spartan defense stiffened, holding the Irish scoreless until the last moments of the contest. While MSU kept the pressure on Notre Dame and repeatedly threatened to score, the Spartans failed to convert two re- covered fumbles and an interception into touchdowns. In other action, the Texas A&M Aggies, with a defensive line like a stone wall, but an offense with butter fingers, stopped Illinois, 14-7, yesterday in an intersec- tional college football game. ILLINOIS threatened to score twice in the second half, driving all the way to the 6 before being stopped cold on four straight plays in the third period. With four minutes remaining, Illinois quarterback Kurt Steger tossed a 42-yard pass to tailback James Coleman, who carried to the Aggie 20-yard line. But A&M's big defensive end, Robert Jackson, charged in to sack Steger twice for a loss of 22 yards. In Washington, fullback Robin Earl rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns and tailback Ronnie Rowland ran for 155 yards and one score to lead the Huskies to a 38-7 non-conference college football victory over previously unbeaten Minne- sota yesterday. THE HUSKIES, 2-2, scored the first three times they had the ball for a 21-0 lead early in the second period. Minnesota, now 3-1, scored its only touchdown with 1:27 left in the first half on Jim Perkins' two-yard run. Arizona quarterback Jim Krohn hurled three touchdown passes, all in the second quarter, and the Huskies rolled over to Irish Northwestern 27-15 yesterday in an inter- sectional football game. Northwestern suffered its fourth defeat, a school record 10th straight over a two- season span. In Bloomington, quarterback Johnny Evans curled a 70-yard pass to Elijah Marshall that set up his own go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter yester- day as North CarolinarStaterallied to a 24-21 college football victory over Indiana. The Hoosiers, now 1-3, led 21-17 going into the final period, but North Carolina State took just six plays on its first pos- session of the final period to seal the Hoosiers' fate. Elsewhere, Kansas quarterback Nolan Cromwell surprised Wisconsin with three long pass completions plus a 64-yard touchdown run yesterday as the Jayhawks beat Wisconsin 34-24. Laverne Smith's 74 yard romp on the first Kansas play from scrimmage in the second half put the Jayhawks in charge. The Badgers crept to within 11 points on the last play of the first half, scoring on a disputed touchdown pass. At West Lafayette, running back Scott Dierking and John Skibinski made a sham- bles of Miami of Ohio's defense yester- day as Purdue ground out a 42-20 non- conference football victory over the win- less Redskins. Dierking, a senior tailback, raced for 211 yards and scored three touchdowns and Skibinski rushed for 121 yards andj scored another as the on-again, off-again Boilermaker offense recorded its highest point total in five years.I "I don't think we were overrun Eby the awesome power __ Coach Yost's team," Mills said semi-seriously.

They are super athletes that are extremely well coached," Mills said. Strategically, Mills floated a linebacker to key on Harlan Huckleby on the option, forcing a change in the Michigan offense. In retaliation, Leach chose to keep the ball himself more than usual and the Wolverines turned to an inside rushing game. Only five of Huckleby's 15 carries came on the option play. With the inside game opened up, Mi higan reincarnated the meatgrinder attack, refining it from th yards and a cloud of dust to eight yards and polite applause. Lytle romps With the Deacons effectively bottling up the outside game and Leach having a dismal passing day, fullback Rob Lytle's 131 yards (110 on the ground and 21 on two pass receptions) accounted for over a third of the Wolverines' total offense. Leach put the ball in the air 14 times, completing three to each team. "That's how we keep the score down, by going to our passing attack," said Bo Schembechler. Leach had his fourth consecutive strong running game, keep- ing 13 times for 52 yards. However, the soyhomore southyaw has yet to put two good passing performances back-to-back. The Michigan special teams remained outstanding. In four games the Wolverine punt return unit has blocked two opponent punts and run back 15 others for 215 yards. In con- trast, the Wolverine opponents have only returned two punts in the four games, for a total of 14 yards.

But Michigan stayed clear on the next kick and Smith nearly steered clear of all defenders on his first long punt return, a 39-yarder to Wake Forest's 45, as the first quarter ended.

Michigan 28, E. Michigan 6 No jokes about the game his team just played, no idle banter with the reporters-he wanted to know how his next opponent, Mich- igan State, did against Notre Dame. THAT PRETTY well sums up the attitude of the Michigan team yesterday. Michigan dis- posed of Wake Forest with the perfunctory air of someone who knows there are more impor- tant things to worry about. And now that those bothersome non-confer- ence games are out of the way, the Wolverines' real season can start. "We're into the Big Ten season now," Schem- bechler said. "That's the name of the game." FACT IS, coaches and players differentiate between conference and non-conference games to a much greater degree than most fans do. The Wolverines are more worried about a Big Ten championship than any non-conference game. of-league games are good for publicity, be- cause you play teams from all parts of the country, but the Big Ten is what really counts. You can't be down for those games. We're gonna be jacked up." As it turned out, the Wake Forest game was good for more than just publicity. Many Mich- igan fans spent the week feeling sorry for the poor visitors and complaining about the Wolverines' easy schedule. But Wake Forest was no pushover, really. "They were tough," said Downing, who plays in the toughest, most violent sector of the field. "We didn't expect to blow them out and run up the score. We were prepared for a good game- we just wanted to get three or four yards a crack, and eat up the clock. "I WAS lying in bed this morning, listening to the radio, and the guy said Michigan had a 'breather' against Wake Forest. That shows how foolish people outside of football can be. Everybody said Wake Forest was a losing team, but they're solid-they're going to win a lot of games." "They played good defense," agreed Schem-
