Neither the University athletic department nor the Ann Arbor police received reports of fans being passed up in the stands, said Associate Athletic Director Don Lund. LAW STUDENT Terry Calhoun, a member of Stop Passing Up Now, a group that in recent weeks has worked to rid football games of that activity, said SPUN members patrolled the stadium with binoculars but witnessed no passing up. "This is the first game I haven't seen passing up in," Calhoun said. Passsing up-the act of bodily passing a spectator through the crowd until he or she reaches the top of the stadium-has caused several injuries in the past few years. The victims are usually women. ALTHOUGH SPUN members distributed leaflets Friday night en- couraging people not to take part in passing up, Calhoun said he believes his See STUDENTS, Page 3 Cannavino's snag halt By STAN BRADBURY A win is a win. Even if you barely beat a team like Northwestern 17-10 in your home opener, it still goes down as a big 'W' in the standings. No league rule says you have to beat the Wildcats by at least .20 or it doesn't count, although the moral victory may belong to the Evanston team. Michigan beat Northwestern in Michigan Stadium yesterday by seven points, but that is not indicative of how close the game really-was, because it was REALLY close. IT TOOK LINEBACKER Andy Can- navino's interception of a Mike Kerrigan fourth down desperation pass into( the endzone with 2:25 left to preserve the delicate victory. The in- terception halted a 21-play drive by the Wildcats as they marched for the tying touchdown after they dominated the en- tire second half. A touchdown by Northwestern, who has not won a Big Ten game in 18 at- tempts dating back to 1977, would have made the score 17-16 in favor of the Wolverines. The Wildcat coaches said after the game that if they had scored, they were planning on calling for a two-point conversion attempt to go for the win. Northwestern, a decided 20 to 30 point underdog, gave Michigan all they could handle yesterday before 100,824 per- sons. Statistically, the game was a toss- up as each team had 16 first downs and close to 250 yards total offense. It was the closest season opener for the Wolverines since 1972 when they han- ded the same school a 7-0 setback. MICHIGAN COACH Bo Schem- bechleradid not show greathdisappoin- tment after the game in the way his team played. "I'm glad we won," said the 12-year head coach. "We won't make too much out of this game. It was a difficult game to play." Schembechler listed about five reasons he felt the game was more dif- ficult than expected, the major one being the rain early in the game and the wet playing field which existed throughout the contest. "The rain negated us," said Schem- bechler. "You can't run laterally and when you take a back like (Butch) Woolfolk it negates him." Woolfolk, an all big Ten running back and the con- ference's leading scorer last year, was limited to 32 yards in 12 carries for a 2.7 yard average. THE WEATHER and an aggressive Northwestern defense was able to stall the powerful Wolverine offensive machine for most of the game. Michigan's only long scoring drive was a 70-yard, nine-play affair, led by quar- terback Rich Hewlett late in the second quarter. But even that series would have fallen short had it not been for a careless penalty by the Wildcats for having 12 men on the field while Michigan was forced to punt on fourth and four. "I'm a little disappointed we didn't play a little better offensive football," said Schembechler. "The best team won but the best team didn't look like anything too great." s upset bid What did keep the offense going and Michigan out of the loss column was the play of sophomores Anthony Carter, Hewlett, and Lawrence Ricks. Both touchdowns were scored on Hewlett to Carter endzone passes, with the help of running back Ricks (subbing for Woolfolk) who averaged 8.4 yards per carry. IN ADDITION to his four receptions for 84 yards and two touchdowns, Car- ter also returned two punts and two kickoffs for a total of 92 yards to give Michigan valuable field position. Equally important to the Michigan offense was a pair of Wildcat turnovers which set up two of the three Michigan See WOLVERINES, Page 10 1 Marching Band to play at OSU Daily Photo by JIM KRUZ MICHIGAN WIDE RECEIVER Anthony Carter pulls in a touchdown pass in yesterday's Wolverine home opener.

U.S. OFFICIALS CAUTIOUS: Iran turnabout seen By JAY McCORMICK Immediately before yesterday's football game Music School Dean Paul Boylan told the Marching Band it will travel to the Ohio State game on November 22. Since the $15,000 Ohio State travel budget alloted the musicians has been, described by Associate Dean Paul Lehman as insufficient to take the band to the game, the rationale behind Boylan's announcement seems a mystery to some University officials. Boylan could not be reached-for com- ment last night. H. ROBERT REYNOLDS, director of the University bands, said the money did not come from the athletic depar- tment. There's been great support from the administration," he said. Reynolds speculated the money came from the University's undesignated gif- ts fund. One reason for the shortage of band, funding this year is a reduction in private donations. University Chief Financial Officer James Brinkerhoff said he has heard no word on the band's fiscal situation since a Tuesday meeting with Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye and a Music School representative. When informed of Boylan's announ- cement Brinkerhoff said, "From my standpoint, the future tense is more ap- propriate-we are considering the possibilities." He said the discussion last Tuesday . concerned "putting together our options (for funding the band) from a budgetary point of view." "There's been great sup'- port from the administra- tion. -H. Robert Reynolds, Director of University Bands Brinkerhoff added that Boylan might have heard of some funding sources he himself is not yet aware of. Marching Band Director Eric Becher also said he does not know the origin of the Ohio State game funds, but he was glad money has become available. "We're glad to help the team by going to Ohio State," he said. From AP and UPI WASHINGTON-After months of frustration and dis- appointment, Carter administration officials believe a tur- ning point may finally have been reached toward resolution of the Iran hostage crisis. Though these officials, who asked not to be identified, are skeptical that an end to the crisis is at hand, the feeling here is that the list of four demands issued Friday by Iran's revolutionary leader, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, could lay the basis for the beginning of a negotiated set- tlement. WHAT ENCOURAGES these officials are several significant omissions from Khomeini's list as well as the overall tone of his statement. Most significant, the officials said, was the exclusion of any demand for an American apology. This contradicted Iran's new prime minister, Mohammed Ali Rajai, who only a few days earlier had specifically demanded American "repentence" as the price for release of the 52 Americans. Subsequent to Rajai's statement, the State Department specifically ruled out an American apology. Two days later, Khomeini dropped the demand. THE OFFICIALS warned that although the signs are en- couraging, any exultation by the Carter administration would be premature because Iran has contradicted itself before about conditions the United States must meet. In Iran yesterday, that country's former foreign minister, Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, said he believed the hostage situation had been "unlocked" by Khomeini's list of conditions. In a telephone interview Ghotbzadeh told the Paris-based radio station RTL he hoped "the Americans understood the situation and don't do anything stupid." HE SAID A letter sent to Rajai from Secretary of State Edmund S. Muskie had been "positively received" in Tehran. The officials here, however, note that even Khomeini's pared-down list of demands would pose extraordinary dif- ficulties in any negotiating process. One such difficulty centers on Khomeini's insistence on the return of the late Shah of Iran's wealth. Iranian authorities regard the Pahlavi Foundation, with hundreds of millions of dollars in assets in the United States, as part of the late monarch's fortune. BUT THE DISPOSITION of these assets, held mostly by the shah's family, would be in the hands of American courts.

TO'DAY Football fans faint T RUE-BLUE WOLVERINE fans love to boast aof their unmatched devotion to the University's foot- ball squad. But an incident at a Baton Rouge, La. prep football game Friday night may temper their claims in the future. Fifty of the spectators, all female and all members of the pep squad at Southwood High School in Shreveport, became ill while in the stands at the game, and nearly half of them fainted, authorities said.

Q T l"he perfect gift for locomotive-lovers Some of our readers are probably aware there are only 102 more shopping days until Christmas. Others are possibly spending many long nights wide-awake, deliberating over what gift to buy that special person who has everything. If that person happens to be a fancier of trains and railroad equipment, we might have the answer. Amtrak is offering for sale, on a competitive basis, three Turbo trainsets and assorted parts. No, not down-sized miniatures that run along a circular track beneath the Christmas tree, but fully-onerational trains The trainsets. A bite of The Big Apple The next time you're bitten by an .Ann Arbor mosquito, count your blessings. Life's a little rougher in New York City, where the city health department reports 713 human bites this year. The incidence of human bites seems to have increased along with the recession-while 873 bites were reported in 1978, the figure increased to 973 last year. Dr. Peter Schantz of the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta reports a correlation between the weather and the frequen- cy of human bites. While the fewest bites were reported during the months of January and February, he said the number of bite episodes increased dramatically through - h .. eni a nA .ar ....--a m. ev .. - 1. f-1. . #U- f-II f k 14 l,. c a .
