Four plays after the ensuing kickoff, Michigan middle guard Rick Koschalk recovered agBay- lor fumble on the Michigan 39. But the Wolverines wasted the opportunity only two plays later they lost a fumble after a missed handoff. BAYLOR quickly came to life: and engneered a scoring drive from its own 47 in 14 plays. Franklin, who dislocated his shoulder during the period, ac- counted for seven of those plays and 23 yards including three crucial third and short yardage conversions. BOTH TEAMS missed field goal attempts before the half- Michigan from the 31, Baylor from the 32. The Baylor field goal try was set up after Baylor drove from its own ten to the Michigan 18. on a clock-eating 15 play drive. On a third and eight play Michigan linebacker C a 1 v i n O'Neal dropped Jackson for a seven yard loss, forcing the Bears into an attempt from the 32. Hick's field goal try sailed off to the left. THE WOLVERINES followed with a drive of their own from their 20 to the Baylor 24. Two key passes-one to tight end FG attempt sails wide Mark Schmerge for 13 yards, and another to split end Keith Johnson for 28 yards powered the effort that ended when Bob Wood's field goal attempt from the 31 fell short. The second half began as a, defensive struggle, neither team able to engineer a substantial drive.

Franklin, who according to an old Baylor fan runs "like a bull with a bee in his ear," ran for 135 yards and a touch down for his part in the 14-14 tie. This was more than twice the yardage the Bear's second leading ground gainer, fullback Mike Ebow, collected. Ebow managed just 50 yards in nine attempts.

By PAUL CAMPBELL The Michigan Water polo team coasted past the Cincin- nati Bearcats 12-6 yesterday at Matt Mann pool. The Wolver- ines led all the way after scor- ing the game's first 5 goals. Three of those five goals came in the first period. But according to Michigan coach Stu Isaac, his team's early 3-0 advantage wasn't really de- served. "We really played mis- erably in the first period," said the coach. "We could have just ase easily been 3 down."

'Are Bo's attempts to gain his 100th victory jinxed? Is Michigan trying for an undefeated season with only one win? Is Bo tired of meeting Ohio State undefeated with digits only in the plus column? Or are the Wolverines simply without talent and ex- perience? Michigan definitely has ability, but experience is lacking. The team has been unable to sustain long scoring drives and its defensive secondary has not been up to its usual standards. Coach Bo Schembechler said, "We haven't got anybody out there offensively, I mean as far as experience goes. "We've got .Bell and that's about it, except Smith, but he's not a senior." But there's a lot more to winning a game than the skill of the players. At Michigan it appears to be a question of consist- ency. "Every time we get the ball it seems like there's some kind of foul up," Schembechler commented. "We make one mis- take and it's third and eight. We're just a very inconsistent team now." The statistics tell the sory. The Wolverines gave up 3.6 yards per rushing carry yesterday while just two weeks ago the same squad yielded only 2.3 yards per rushing carry to the more highly touted running attack of Wisconsin and Billy Marek. The quarterback has also been inconsistent for the Wolver- ines. Rich Leach began the first two games this season with Mark Elzinga seeing limited action. Yesterday, Bo started the more experienced Elzinga but replaced him early in the third quarter with Leach to finish the game. Up to that point, Elzinge was three for seven and had moved Mchigan 75 yards for a touchdown in the opening minutes. Despite this, Schembechler replaced the junior with the freshman who went zero for three in the air and led only one drive that netted a first down. Besides these erratic moves by the coaches and the players, even Michigan's consistencies have hindered its effectiveness. Bo uses Gordon Bell iS per cent of the time when it's third and short. During the Stanford game, in nine of these situations, Bell carried five times and never once made the first down. Michigan has also consistently thrown and fumbled the ball away. Last season, the Wolverines averaged under .5 intercep- tions per game; this season the quarterbacks have thrown two bined for 4 goals in the last period. "The guys really improved as the game went on," said coach Isaac. "We talked about Cincinnati breakaways at half- time, and after that they real- ly looked good." HE ADDED that besides "the usual stalwarts (Yawitz Bauer, Firestone), I was especially pleased by the nerformances of Dick Brown, Wylie; and back- up goalie Chuck Cullen." The game did not count in the Midwest Intercollegiate Wa- ter Polo Conference standings.

By RAY O'HARA "Unlike the one last week, we were lucky to tie this one. We have a lot of work to do." -Bo Schembechler "Console me, we should have won it." -Baylor Coach Grant Teaff Few and far between are the Michigan fans who would disagree with either of these state- ments. Though Grant Teaff will have to wait till he gets back to Baylor to receive the con- solation he deserves, everyone from Schem- bechler on down knows that the Bears have only themselves to blame for their own second straight tie. They missed two field goals and were stopped only millimeters short of Michigan's goal in the third quarter. Had the game been played in Waco, Texas, the Bears could quite possibly have pulled it off. As for the lackluster Wolverines, they have already set an all-time Michigan record in only their third game.TTheyahave tiedstwo games consecutively. The mark may stand forever. While it may be true that Michigan was lucky to tie Baylor, it's also apparent that they will have to be even luckier to tie powerhouse Mis- souri next week.,Indeed, the Tigers may estab- lish something of a record themselves.

Two defeats would insure the worst season performance since Bo came to Ann Ar- bor. On the other hand, victories would show that the two ties were exceptions and that un- derpowered offense and porous defense are not the rule for the Blue this year. No one can really explain why Michigan has not played well thus far. The coaches and the players are uniform in saying that no one thing has held them back. Rather, a collec- tion of small mistakes against quality oppo- sition have hurt their performance. This may be true. Stanford and Baylor are both several cuts above the traditional Michi- gan out-of-conference, cannon fodder opponent. Is it that Michigan makes the same small mistakes at the beginning of every season and, for a change, this year played teams that could exploit them? Is it as all that this Wolverine team is as talented the others but its lack of experience .I
