BOB Wood's fourth straightI
conversion made it 28-0, and
after the defense held the Wild-
cats once again to three plays
and a punt, Schembechler sent
in his reserve backfield. Michi-
gan managed their fifth con-
secutive scoring drive, capped
by Elzinga's perfect 20-yard
toss to wingback Jim Smith.
Wood's extra point attempt
sailed wide and Michigan led
34-0.
With Schembechler getting a
look at his younger players on
offense, the defense stole the
spotlight in the third quarter.
The offense gave away two scor-
ing opportunities while the de-
fense continued to slam the door
on any Wildcat threats.
Linebacker Dave Devich
scored the only touchdown of
the period ,returning his inter-
ception of a Randy Dean pass
23-yards with 2:13 to go. As the
quarter closed, Mike Holmes
recovered a Greg Boykin fum-
ble on the Northwestern 43.

FRESHMAN FULLBACK Russell Davis eludes a Northwestern tackler as he tallies additional yardage during fourth quar-
ter action yesterday afternoon. Davis, along with the other Michigan runners tied a Big Ten record by totaling 573 yards in
a single game. Three Maize and Blue runners cracked the 100-yard mark in the process of tying the previous record. Michigan
State get the mark in 1971 when Spartan runners went wild against Purdue.

John Pont.. .
.aclass'y goiy
WOODY HAYES take note. Some college football coaches could
teach you a lot about class.
John Pont is definitely one of them.
It has to be difficult to be friendly or gracious when your
team has i-st been beaten 69-0. It's tougher still when you en-
tered the game feeling you had a chance to win.
But Pont was all of that and more. From the time he started
talking to renorters until everyone had gone home, he handled
an obviously humiliating situation without excuse, bitterness, or
complaint. Nobody would have blamed him if he hadn't talked at
all.
Talk he did though, and his comnments revealed a unique
glimpse -of a man who had just suffered a crushing setback.
"They got to us very quickly," Pont noted. "It shook
our confidence. They overpowered us so early that our kids
were afraid to keep going with our game plan."'
'M' looks good
Is Michigan that good, coach?
"They're certainly one of the top teams in the country,"
he responded. "They're one of the best tackling teams I've ever
seen. And their defensive pursuit; I guess the best word for
it would be relentless."
"Michigan's offense was obviously impressive as well," he
continued. "One of the people that impressed me most was Lytle.
He may be small for a fullback, but the way he 'hits the hole
so quickly, he doesn't need size."
Er, uh, uh, how about your own team?
"No, we're not that bad. We've made progress in a lot
of areas. Today is the first time I've been disappointed. It
isn't a question of ability so much as that we just lost our
poise."
Did you feel that Michigan ran up the score?
"Definitely not. They played practically everyone they had.
Bell only played a quarter. You can't tell your second and third
string kids not to try - this is their chance to impress the
coaches."
Finally, Coach Pont, how do you bring a team back from a
defeat like this one?
"I've always thought it was easier to bring a team back
from a zap like this one than from a real heartbreaker. This
game was over so early that everyone had time to adjust to it.
The toughest thing will be watching the films - then I'll be mad
as hell." -
"Remember, we play Wisconsin who lost 56-0 today. They're
in the same boat we are."

Clubbers nailed
BLOOMINGTON Michigan's field hockey team suffered
their fourth defeat in six attempts yesterday, losing to Indiana
University, 7 to 0. The Hoosier clubbers dominated the game
statistically, outshooting Michigan 24 to 6.
"The score isn't indicative," assistant coach Phyllis
Weikert said. "It wasn't really that one-sided. We didn't
really capitalize on our scoring opportunities," Weilkert said
of the Michigan attack.,
The Wolverines return home Monday afternoon to face the
clubbers from Wayne State University. Game time is 4 p.m. on
the field hockey grounds next to the baseball stadium.

Kickers knocked
The Michigan soccer team dropped its first home game of
the season to the Spring Arbor Cougars; 4-1, before approximately
sixty soggy fans on the Tartan turf last night.
Michigan took an early lead as All-Midwest .forward Chip
Fowler scored in the opening minutes of the first half. But, a
quick Spring Arbor team came back as All-Midwest captain Tim
McVay scored on a penalty kick.
Spring Arbor's Howard Taylor scored a goal on an assist
by McVay late in the half to take a 2-1 lead. Two evenly
spaced goals in the second period secured the win.
Spring Arbor, now 8-2-2, was < expected to be Michigan's
toughest opponent of the season.
Steve Olsen, acting coach, felt Michigan played well despite
the loss: "We played really well, especially in the first half,"
he remarked. The loss drops Michigan's record to 0-4-1.
Next home action is Tuesday night when Michigan takes on
Eastern Michigan. Game time is 7:00.

The overall gold-silver-bronze count for the Americans - who
usually gather two to four times as many golds as their nearest

Poor Tom Harmon. Last week, Wisconsin's
running back Bill Marek surpassed Michigan's
'1940 Heisman Award winner for the career rec-
ord for most points scored in the Big Ten.
This week little Gordie Bell forced Harmon
from the number four position in career rush-
ing for Michigan. Bell, who now boasts 2,199
yards via the ground, moved one step closer to
forerunners Billy Taylor (3,072), Ron .Johnson
(2,440) and Ed Shuttlesworth (2,343).
IN YESTERDAY'S 69-0 thrashing of North-
western, Bell gained 100 yards. But the remark-
able feat is that he barely played a full quarter.
"I'm just glad we won," said a modest Bell,
who didn't even know he overtook Harmon until
late after the game. "The line was really good
today. The whole team is blocking well.
"I'm really surprised I passed Harmon," he
continued. "I feel pretty good. I only played
half a quarter."
Bell's first quarter performance, however,
shouldn't take anything away from Michigan's
other runners. After all, the Wolverines tied a
Big Ten record for most yards gained on the
ground in a single game with 573 in 69 attempts.
Michigan State ran for that amount against Pur-
due in 1971.
The list of heroes is countless. Nobody had a

Defensively the Wildcats only managed to
dron the Wolverines for four yards in total
losses. Paul Maly and Lodi Vercelli each tackled
Michigan quarterback Mark Elzinga for a two-
yard loss. But the 'Z' shouldn't be too upset. He
ended up with 67 yards and a touchdown.
ONE SHOULDN'T be remiss, however, and
forget Michigan's other quarterback. Starter
Rick Leach ran for 56 yards averaging 9.3 a
carry. Freshman fullback Russell Davis also
had an impressive day, with 53 yards in nine
carries.
But along with Bell, the man of the hour was
Harlan Huckleby. The freshman from Detroit's
Cass Tech led the Wolverines in rushing with
157 yards in 18 attempts. And the fans went
wild when he turned on his blinding 9.5 speed
and raced for 27 yards and a touchdown in the
final period.
"I'm surprised to be able to play," said
Huckleby, "I felt bad about the fumble (in the
third period on the Northwestern seven yard
line), but I was glad to be back in the game.
"I'm learning to read blocks in college. In
high school you don't read blocks, you just run."
Bell, not at all upset at having to watch on the
sidelines most of the game, said: "We gotta take
a look at the younger kids. Huckleby and the
-others need the experience.
