WOOLFOLK PUT Michigan on top, 7- d, with a four-yard plunge nine-and-a- half minutes into the first period. It capped a drive which started at Navy's 6-yard line. The big play came when Smith' hit Carter on the numbers for a 22-yard pickup to the 16. Four plays later, the Wolverines got the ball back and marched 66 yards in 1 plays to take a two-touchdown lead, hnd it looked like the game might turn into one of those old-fashioned Michigan routs. : Smith was five-for-five through the air.during the drive, and he used four different receivers. He threw toCarter for 15 yards, sophomore Vince Bean for 26, Jerald Ingram (who replaced $tanley Edwards, out with a hip poin- ... i ter, at fullback) for 10, Carter again for 13, and Woolfolk for five. He then rolled off right tackle into the end zone with 13:12 remaining in the first half. A MINUTE-and-a-half later, though, Smith threw one of his few poor aerials of the day to Carter, who tipped it up in- to the hands of Navy's Elliott Reagans. Carter left the game limping, and with him left the spark in the Wolverine of- fense. The Michigan defense com- pletely bottled up the Midshipmen at- tack in the opening half, as Navy was not able to notch a first down until freshman Napoleon McCallum slashed up the middle for 13 yards. At that point, Navy had already managed a field goal without a first down when Michigan's Tony Jackson, replacing the injured Brian Carpenter (left ankle sprain) as the Wolverine punt returner, fumbled Steven Fehr's kick at his own 35. Fehr, a pre-season All-American at kicker, completed the task four plays later with a 46-yard field goal to make the score 14-3. After McCallum's gain, Pagnanelli, a junior college transfer who replaced starter Thomas Tarquinio in the second" quarter, hit tight end Gregory Papajohn for 14 yards. A 15-yard per- sonal foul penalty was tacked on to give Navy a first down at Michigan's 27. Fehr kicked a 31-yard field goal with 0:32 left, and the halftime score was 14- 6. EVAN COOPER'S interception early in the third stanza set up Michigan's last score, a Smith-to-Bean eight-yard connection in the left corner of the end zone which gave the home team a 21-6 lead. Navy ended the period by marching 94 yards, though, the final 22 on Pagnanelli's run up the middle of Michigan's spread-out pass defense, bringing the Midshipmen to within eight points, 21-13. Navy shut down Michigan on three plays and got the ball back on its own 34-yard line, from where it moved to s Navy Michigan's 28. The drive was all Pagnanelli, as he completed two passes for 27 yards, ran twice for 10 more, and held while Fehr split the uprights with another three-pointer, this one a 45- yarder. MICHIGAN WAS unable to move on its next series, setting up Navy's final drive. The Midshipmen played the type of game which Schembechler had expec- ted beforehand, conservative and mistake-free (only one turnover). Michigan, on the other hand, was plagued by several errors, including 10 penalties for 90 yards. Michigan offen- sive tackle Ed Muransky was vic- timized by a few holding calls, and neither he nor Schembechler were about to plead guilty. "THEY WERE weak calls," Muran- sky said. "It depends on your definition of 'illegal use of hands'. They weren't blatant. A lot depends on the referee." "The umpire destroyed our offensive line," Schembechler said, "absolutely destroyed it. You can't block when he's throwing the flag in there. And I have the same line coach I've had for 15 upset years. Ironically, they (the Midship- men) didn't have any (holding penalties)." Left guard Stefan Humphries was also felled by injury, strained tendons in his right knee, and ailing defensive tackle Winfred Carraway did not play at all yesterday. But Schembechler hopes seems more concerned with the menta state of his team than the physical. "I'm not concerned (about the in- juries)," Bo said. "I'll play the next guy. I've never had a Michigan team that wasn't hungry, not in 12 years. Right now, they're fat and happy." Midshipwrecked First downs............. Rushing (Att/yds)........ Passing (conplattlint)...

"Wisconsin is definitely the most improved team in the Big Ten this season. We can't afford to overlook them." -Michigan coach Bo Schembechler before the Wisconsin game. BO, YOU CANNOT be serious about the Badgers. The Wolverines are ranked number one in the land even before they have played a down. Michigan will definitely have Wisconsin begging for mercy. Zap! The Badgers humble the Wolverines, 21-14. "I guarantee that you'll see a better Michigan team against Notre Dame " -Bo before the Irish game. They could not help but improve after the Wisconsin game, Bo. Those Irish look extremely tough, though, and rookie coach Gerry Faust is bound to have his players sky high. Besides, how could your team make such a drastic urnaround in just one week. Unbelievable! Michigan throttles the top-ranked Irish, 25-7. "Navy is one of the top 25 teams in the country. They are going to be extremely tough." -Bo looking towards the Midshipmen. The way yor boys played against Notre Dame, Bo, this Navy game should be the laughter needed before you move on to a more serious matter-the conference schedule. Hold your breath! Michigan stumbles by the Middies, 21-16. If Schembechler should ever tire of the college football wars, he would be a cinch as a prophet. In as much as the media and Maize 'n Blue fans felt that the Wolverines were destined for great things after their wallowing of the Irish the previous week, Schembechler knew that his club had problems. 'You play like you practice," noted Schembechler after the Navy scare. "We practiced sluggish this week and we played sluggish today. On the basis of our performance, Navy should have won the game. We are just not hungry. "They (his players) are not as good as they think they are. I don't know. I 'guess they think; they know more about this game than me. Right now, they're fat and happy and we've (the coaches) got to do something about it." T look at the final score, it would be hard to believe that the Wolverines dominated the first half. They took a 14-6 advantage into the locker room. The defense only allowed the Middies four firstdowns. Quarterback Steve Smith completed his first seven passes. You would think that would put a smile on Schembechiers face. "We had the opportunity to put them away in the first half before they could get started, but we didn't," Schembechler added. "They (Navy) were the better team today. This team has not performed like a Michigan team yet." The early moments of the game did resemble the Michigan-Navy contests of old-in regards to dullness. It registered a 8.5 on the boredometer. Butch Woolfolk seemed to be running at will and the defense just shiut Navy down cold. It started out like one of those games in which the scoreboard light bulbs would blow up due to the excessive number of Wolverine touchdowns. Michigan would thrive for megapoints. Instead, it wound up with the Blue gridders fighting for their very survival and finishing just an overthrown pass away from their second setback. This 1981 Michigan team is an emotional rollercoaster. When they want to play, the Wolverines can blow anyone off the field. But when they are not in the mood, they can wreak to high heaven. Bo's dilemma is to get some kind of consistency out of this group-one of well-executed football. The brightest spot of the entire afternoon was definitely Smith's first half performance. His 8-for-10 showing was impressive. Not for the number of completions, but rather, the way they were completed. The passes were not space shots which the receivers had to run underneath to catch. Smith was hitting the timingpatterns, directing his receivers open, and rifling the ball into the coverage for completions-to his own players this time. "I was fired up for this game because I knew that I had something to prove to myself," said Smith, who finished the day completing 10 of 15 passes for 110 yards, one touchdown and one interception. "I just had to find out exactly what I was doing wrong with my passing game and correct it. I worked on the timing'routes all week in practice." What about nextweek, Bo?

Quarterback Pete Gales ran 16 yards for Iowa's other touchdown as the Hawkeyes stunned a team from the nation's top 10 for the second time in three weeks. Iowa (2-1) defeated Nebraska (10-7) two weeks ago when the Cornhuskers were rated seventh. A sellout crowd of 60,004 at Kinnick Stadium saw Iowa use the same for- mula against UCLA as it employed against Nebraska. The Hawkeyes shut off the potent UCLA offense with an aggressive, swarming defense, and the Iowa offense controlled the ball for long stretches 6f time. Gales scored on a keeper around right end after faking a handoff to give Iowa a 7-0 lead with 5:02 left in the first quarter. Michigan State 10, BGSU 7 EAST LANSING (AP)- Denny Stolz looked over his 0-3 Bowling Green squad after yesterday's 10-7 loss to Michigan State and said; "We've got a good little ball club." As Stolz learned, a mediocre good ball club was good enough to handle his overmatched Falcons. Despite a flurry of mistakes and blown scoring opportunities, Michigan State's superior size proved too much for the Falcons and ruined a homecoming of sorts for Stolz, a Lan- sing native who coached at MSU from 1973-75. Second-string halfback Lance Hawkins scored from the 2 yard line on a fourth down play and Morten Ander- sen booted a 47-yard field goal as MSU posted its first victory in three games. Utah 42, N'western 0 EVANSTON (AP)- Del Rodgers scored four touchdowns, one on a 36- yard pass reception and another on a 56-yard run, to power Utah to a 42-0 non- conference victory yesterday over Nor- thwestern, extending the Wildcats' losing skein to 23 straight.- syracuse 21, Indiana 7 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP)- Dave War- ner and Jack Gilligan scored on short touchdown runs late in the football game yesterday as Syracuse Univer- sity won its first game under coach Dick MacPherson by beating Indiana 21-7.. Tailback Joe Morris powered the Syracuse offense by running for 164 yards in 26 carries and taking four passes from quarterback Warner for another 73 yards. Wisconsin 21, WMU 10 MADISON (AP)- Chucky Davis raced for first quarter touchdowns on runs of 30 and 28 yards, and Wisconsin held on to defeat Western Michigan 21- 10 in college football yesterday. Davis scored on Wisconsin's first and eighth plays from scrimmage, and the Badgers, 2-1, played conservative of- fense and relied on field position to protect their lead most of the rest of the way. Purdue 15, Notre Dame 14 WEST LAFAYETTE (AP) - Quar- terback Scott Campbell passed for 246 yards Saturday, including a seven-yard touchdown pass and two-point conver- sion to flanker Steve Bryant with 19' seconds to go, lifting Purdue to a 15-14 college football upset of 13th-ranked Notre Dame. Trailing by seven points before the touchdown, Coach Jim Young said he decided to go for two points and the vic- tory instead of a possible tie on a kick because "I felt we would make it. You just have that feeling sometimes, and I felt we had it." The winning Purdue score followed a 30-yard touchdown run by Notre Dame's Phil Carter that broke a 7-7 tie with 2:57 remaining. Campbell then led the final Boilermaker drive, coin- pleting passes of 33 yards to Eric Jor- dan and 42 yards to Bryant that gave Purdue a first down at the Irish 1 with 39 seconds left. OSU 24, Stanford .19 STANFORD, Calif. (AP)- Art Schlichter passed for two touchdowns as Ohio State built an 18-point lead, and the eight-ranked Buckeyes held on for a 24-19 victory over Stanford yesterday. The game matching two of college. football's best quarterbacks, Schlichter and Stanford's John ElWay, turned into. a thriller as Elway tossed a pair of touchdown passes early in the final quarter. But Elway re-injured an ankle which he sprained two weeks ago and missed two series.

Carter reportedly suffered a slighly sprained ankle on the previous play. Welsh upset over narrow loss, Navy sports much stronger crew. By GREG DeGULIS An intruder suddenly interrupted the George Welsh post- game interview with the press and received a warm recep- tion from the Navy head coach. "One of the best in the country right here," the friend remarked in the direction of Welsh. And who can argue after the Midshipmen narrowly lost to Michigan, 21-16. A game in- dicative of the resurgence in Navy football. IN THE LEAN mid-seventies, Navy football was an easy prey for the Wolverines as Michigan rolled 52-0 in 1974 and 70-- 14 in 1975. After Welsh's program began to take shape in 1977, however, Navy football can boast of a 28-13 record, two bowl appearances and a tightly fought 14-7 loss to Michigan in 1977. Despite the closeness of yesterday's setback, Welsh ap- peared rather reticent about the battle with the 7th-ranked Wolverines. "I'm with Schembechler. There's nothing positive about a loss. We go into Monday's practice as losers," Welsh remarked. Some may dispute that point as the 19-point underdog Midshipmen came within one completed up the Michigan blitz near the end of the game," Welsh noted. "But I think a little experience will make him a better player. You could see the blitz coming a mile away." Pagnanelli did not see the Wolverine blitz which put the ,Midshipmen'in an inescapable hole, but the Navy quarter- back did see enough to complete 9 of 16 passes for 96 yards and rush for 48 yards. After a Don Bracken punt placed the. Midshipmen at the 6-yard line, Pagnanelli mastered a 94- yard drive including a 22-yard keeper for the touchdown, Despite the fine statistics for Pagnanelli, Welsh did not in- dicate who would be the starting quarterback against Yale next week, Pagnanelli or Tom Tarquinio (1 of 5 for -3 yards and one interception). Another Navy strength lies in the talented instep of Playboy All-American placekicker and punter Steve Fehr. Fehr easily hit field goals of 46, 31, and 45 yards and one extra point to account for 10 Navy points. The senior placekicker led the Midshipmen in scoring the last two seasons and holds five Navy records. Fehr is now 5 of 6 in field goal tries and leads the Midshinmen with 21 noints h ,.:F e ye. ..x ..< . ., . .: :. ... .-.;., . s . . ,,. ,;. ..
