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. Michigan humiliated North- western in the final quarter as they unleashed a four touch- down attack. Nine seconds into the period, freshman tailback Harlan Huckleby demonstrated his 9.5 speed as he took Elzin- ga's pitch and raced 27-yards for Michigan's seventh score. falling into the hands of cor- nerback Jim Pickens. The Maiz6 and Blue stormed 28 yards in four plays, with Huck- leby going in from the one for six more points. The last drive the offense put together took nine plays and ,covered 83 yards. Elzinga ran it in for the score on a 12 yard jaunt through the bewildered Wildcat tacklers. Freshman placekicker Greg Willner split the uprights on his third of four final quarter conversions to give the Wolverines a 62 point mar- gin. great yet, but our progress has been just as expected: terrific.

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."

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. -Mike Wilson 0 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.

The overall gold-silver-bronze count for the Americans - who usually gather two to four times as many golds as their nearest rival - was 37-32-19. Ambitious Cuba, which had led the Americans through the first week of competition by taking 20 of 27 golds in the now- completed weightlifting, was 31-23-12. -AP r Y T l a By LEBA HERTZ 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 I .1iina.; nwarnapo acz n f c;17an 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.
