Parity Gridders find no humor Ur By ALAN FANGER They were a bunch of brainy kids going out to play football as a hobby. The chemistry and economics majors, the future doctors, lawyers and accoun- tants were just expanding on what was once an extracurricular activity in high school. They were considered the best comedy act east of "Three's Com- pany", sporting an offense that celebrated each first down as if it were a coronation and a defense that resem- bled a thin membrane. The act was ready for its sixth year, following past defeats of 69-0, 38-7, 63-20, 59-14, and 49- 7. But something mysterious happened in Michigan Stadium yesterday. In two hours and 28 minutes, the jokesters vanished. Nobody among the crowd of 100,824 was laughing. The troupe of 95 Northwestern football players was get- ting serious. And they were serious to the point of nearly creating tragedy from what was becoming an annual binge of hilarity. The Wildcats' show was not of the spectacular variety. From the begin- ning, said coach Rick Venturi, the game plan was "very, very simple. We were going to hammer away at them (Michigan) and keep as much ball possession as we could." Being the brainy sorts Venturi's players are, such a plan was followed nearly to perfection. The offense direc- ted most of its plays toward the inside, via either runs by fullback Dave Mishler or short passes from the arm of quarterback Mike Kerigan. The statistics bore out his strategy: Mishler carried 23 times and gained 82 yards, mostly on gains of three or four yards, while Kerrigan completed 12 of 19 passes for just 98 yards. When the Wildcats needed enough yardage to maintain their long drives, particularly in the fourth quarter, they picked up the necessary yardage. They converted four of five fourth-down situations, although the Wolverines Sunday: SPECIAL ITALIAN BUFFET all you can eat for only $4.95 Monday-Thursday (from 4:00 pm): CRAB LEGS$4.95 Surf and Turf (Crab Legs & Steak) $5.95 Filet Mignon (8 or. $6.95 All above entrees include a trip to our salad bar, soup, and bread.

"I told the kids from day one that we would be facing a lot of fourth-down situations, and that we would go for them," said Venturi, explaining his refusal to punt when faced with short yardage. "We felt we could keep knocking out first downs and keep possession of it." Both Venturi and right guard Bill Draznik thought their team could at- tack the middle of the Michigan defense and maintain successful drives. Draz- nik added that the Wildcats' substantial size advantage along the line figured prominently in Northwestern's con- sistent offensive performance. "I don't think Michigan had that superior a defense," said Draznik, one of only six seniors who started for the visitors. "I knew we would be able to move against them, but I was a little surprised myself . .. I didn't think we could move so well on them." The fireworks, and the dreams of turning the former comedy of errors in- to high-fashioned drama, were dashed when Andy Cannavino grabbed hold of a fourth-down Kerrigan pass like a father who had found his long-lost son. But Venturi picked up some desperately-needed pride for his team along the way, plus a few converts to the belief that the Wildcats represent something beyond buffoonery on the gridiron. "Right now we're just feeling like a See more sports page 9 better team," said the third-year coach. "We felt bad after last week (35- 9 loss to Illinois)-our pride was hurt down there (Champaign). We're star- ting to gain the confidence we really need to be successful. "The thing I liked about this week was that we went after it. There was no choke city or any of that.

Dent and Rick Cerone had three hits apiece as the Yankees pushed their season record to 90-52 with their third victory in a row over the Red Sox and their 12th in their last 13 starts. New York shelled Boston starter Mike Torrez, a 9-14, in the decisive four- th. Dent, who hit a three-run homer off Torrez in the 1978 playoff, once again jumped on his former teammate for a big hit. MONTREAL (AP)-Mike Easler belted a solo homer and Don Robinson stopped Montreal on four hits as the Pittsburgh Pirates ended the Expos' four-game winning streak with a 4-0 victory yesterday. Easler, who started the game hitting .251 against the Expos, hammered a 3-2 pitch from Steve Rogers, 14-11, over the center field fence leading off the second inning for a 1-0 Pittsburgh lead. THE HOMER WAS the first off the Expos' pitching staff in 12 games, a club record. It also snapped a string of 21 scoreless innings by Rogers, who had Robinson, 6-8, struck out eight and walked one, recording his first com- plete game since June 2, and his first shut-out since May 14, 1978.
