The junior quarter- back went the final six yards on a keeper to give Michigan a 14-0 lead. It was then that the game began to get rough, as Carter was clobbered out of bounds on a punt return and Ricks was hit after the whistle on the next play from scrimmage. The two Gopher personal fouls moved the ball to the Minnesota 33, and Smith flipped a one- yard touchdown lob to freshman fullback Dan Rice to up the Wolverine advantage to 21-0. "We took some foolish penalties which stopped some of our drives, and when we piled on top of Michigan players, that hurt us," said Salem, whose Gophers were penalized nine times for 121 yards. THE PENALTY the Wolverines took the most exception to came on the next Gopher punt when Carter was again hammered after he was down. Livid, he leaped to his feet, gestured to some of the Minnesota players and then engaged in an animated conversation with an official, all of which brought up suspicions that the Gophers were out to pretty well and they would not do that," said Schembechler. "I don't believe it's intentional, it's just excited players. I think the officials stepped right in and controlled the game." But Carter indicated that the Gophers' intentions may indeed have been a little more dastardly.

Haji- Sheikh's successful conversion was his 66th in a row, which broke the Big Ten " record for most consecutive PAT's. The Homecoming game victory allowed the Wolverines to retain possession of the fabled Little Brown Jug, but amidst all the scoring came word that the Illini, Michigan's closest competitors in the Big Ten race, had lost. The announcement sent the crowd and the Wolverine bench into a fit of exuberance and set the players to talking about next week's game. "You could hear people talking about Illinois all this week," said inside linebacker Mike Boren, who led the team with nine tackles." "We've been hungry. This (Illinois) game is like an Ohio State game and I think we want them more than they want us." 4 f . .

But the Michigan gridders didn't break out into a chorus of "California Here We Come," after the game, settling instead for a boisterous rendition of "The Victors." The Wolverines are now in the enviable position of being able to lose one of their three remaining games and still go to the Rose Bowl, but are taking no solace in the cushion this gives them. "I DON'T want to talk about losing, because it's not on my mind or anyone else's mind," said Michigan flanker Anthony Carter. "We're thinking about winning." "We don't like to say what happens if we lose," echoed Wolverine tailback Lawrence Ricks. "We like to win every conference game. It's nice that Illinois lost, but we have to go down there for next weekend's game thinking we want to win." The cautious attitude taken by the Wolverines is not one of false modesty, but one of fear for what could happen if a Rose Bowl berth is taken for granted. "ANYONE IN their right mind would only look to our next game or else we'll get kno-cked off," said Michigan safety Keith Bostic. "I didn't expect Illinois to lose today, so on any given day that could also happen to Michigan," said Wolverine inside linebacker Mike Boren. "Solwe can't think Rose Bowl until we're there." Wolverine head coach Bo Schembechler certainly has no such thoughts dancing through his head. When asked about a possible Rose Bowl opponent, the coach-who was in a jovial mood-brushed the question aside saying, "I don't know about 'em. I don't give a damn about 'em right now. If we're fortunate enough to get to the Rose Bowl, then I'll worry about it." FOR NOW, he and his players have but a single thought. And that is next Saturday's game at Illinois, even though the Fighting Illini's loss has taken away much of the glitter that would have otherwise gone with this weekend's game; an irrelevant fact to a Michigan squad driven only by the game at hand. "Illinois is all I can think about," said Bostic. "We've been hungry," said Boren. "Illinois is like an Ohi State game, and I think we want them more than they wan? us." I didn't expect Illinois to lose today, so on any given day that could happen to Michigan. -Michigan linebacker Mike Boren THE MOST comforting aspect of the Wolverines' com- manding one-and-a-half game lead over second-place Iowa and Ohio State is the sense of self-reliance they now have. "We're controlling our own destiny," Schembechler said triumphantly. "It's up to us," said Michigan quarterback Steve Smith. "It's on our shoulders. The only thing that can stop us is our- selves." And that, in the opinion of Wolverine split end Vince Bean, is unlikely. "As far as I'm concerned, we have no plans of going anywhere but the Rose Bowl," he said. "We didn't g4 last year and we didn't like it." 5/67 2/20 Barb's Wire By BARB BARKER Pasadena 9 just yet Alumni come hme .. . ... relive memorioes "lATE ASK YOU to be real careful about the Alumni band," boomed the Michigan Stadium P.A. system after the Wolverines' 52-14 win over Minnesota yesterday. "Some are aged and infirm and need not be jostled about." If anyone in the stands believed that the former band members or cheerleaders, who gathered on the field yesterday to celebrate Michigan's homecoming game, were candidates for a rocking-chair league, they were wrong. Although separated from one another by years and miles, these for- mer spirit leaders boast a youthful bond which is firmly cemented by their love for their alma mater. Between cheers and halftime performances, they grouped on the sidelines swapping anecdotes from their college years. One 1928 varsity band saxaphone player, who would identify himself only as Pa Kay, fondly recalled a trip to East Lansing in his senior year. "There were about 80 of us traveling in a bus to Michigan State," he said. "We were about half way there when a priest drives by in his model T Ford. He didn't like the noise we were making so we picked up his car and put it in a creek. We were a bunch of rascals. "He just sat there and made several prayers,"he continued. "Then we put the car back on the road. The creek was only a foot or * two deep. When we reached his hometown Howell, Michigan, they gave us a tour of the town. It was really something." Bob Canning led the 1939 Michigan - cheerleading squad and was affec- tionatley referred to as "Leather Lungs"in that year's Michiganensian yearbook. Although Cannig now resides in Greenwich, Conn., he has returned to the stadium sidelines for at least 20 games since hisy graduation. "This is the biggest crowd of. returning cheerleaders we've ever had," he recalled. "We have our club. We come back on homecoming 0 Friday and work outinthe afternoon a with (Michigan's gymnastic coach). Newt Loken. I do cartwheels -now, but that's about it. I don't practice Canning though.".... leather lungs What Canning remembers most is greeting the football team at the train station after away games. "We used to meet them at the railroad station, and then parade up State Street," he sasid. "The football specials would all park down there in the yards. Everyone travelled by train then. There weren't as many students, but the spirit was always really good." Clare Canham Eaton,daughter of Michian athletic director Don Canham, was a founding member of the first Michigan football pom-pom squad in 1974. Now a librarian in the Ann Arbor public school system, Eaton remembers the difficulty of that first year. "It was a struggle being the first women's squad," she said. "Some of the BIG TEN R OUNDUP: Iowa dims ilini title hopes, 1 4-13 IOWA CITY (AP)- Eddie Phillips scored a first half touchdown and broke loose on a crucial long run late in the game to help Iowa secure a 14-13 vic- tory over Illinois yesterday. Phillips, who rushed for 158 yards in 27 carries, scored on a 2-yard run in the first quarter and Chuck Long flipped an 8-yard touchdown pass to Ronnie Har- mon to put Iowa ahead 14-10 entering the fourth period. THEN, AFTER Illinois' Mike Bass kicked a 45-yard field goal, Phillips scampered 30 yards to give Iowa a first down when the Hawkeyes faced a third- and-29 situation at their own 32 with less than two minutes remaining in the game. Four plays later, Tom Nichol punted out of bounds at the Illinois 1-foot line with 24 seconds left to doom the Illinois. Illinois quarterback Tony Eason then threw four straight incomplete passes, the last one a bomb that hit the turf at the Iowa 35 as time expired. Mich.State 22,Indiana 14 BLOOMINGTON (UPI)- An inter- ception by linebacker James Neely sparked a 13-point third-period Michigan State rally and the Spartans went on to beat Indiana, 22-14, yester- day for their first victory of the season. The win gave Michigan State a 1-7 over-all record and 1-5 Big Ten mark. It also was the ninth straight game in which Indiana was unable to beat MSU. INDIANA dropped to 2-4 in the Big Ten and 3-5 overall. Indiana led 7-6 when Neely intercep- ted a Babe Laufenberg pass and retur- ned it to the Indiana 20-yard line. Two plays later Tony Ellis carried the bal4 11 yards for a touchdown to give the Spartans the lead for good. Following one Indiana series and a short punt, MSU regained the ball at the Indiana 37 and scored three plays later. Freshman quarterback Dave Yerema, making his first appearance for the Spartans, threw a 35-yard pass to Otis Grant with 2:37 left in the third quarter to give Michigan State a 19-7 lead. Ohio State 38, Purdue 6 COLUMBUS, (UPI) - Sophomore quarterback Mike Tomczak passed for two touchdowns and tailback Tim Spencer rushed for 168 yards and scored twice to lead Ohio State to a 38-6 victory over Purdue. Tomczak, who sat on the bench the last two Ohio State home games as the Buckeyes lost to Florida State and Wisconsin, hit tight end John Frank with a 12-yard touchdown pass early in the first quarter and connected on a 33- yarder to flanker Cedric Anderson with 27 seconds left in the opening period as the Buckeyes jumped to a 14-3 lead over the Boilermakers. PURDUE, NOW 2-6, overall and 2-4 in the conference, had several early scoring opportunities but were unable to put the ball in the end zone and placekicker Tim Clark hit only one ofA three field goal attempts in the' first quarter, a 43-yarder with 7:57 to play. Ohio State, now 5-3 overall and 4-1 in the Big Ten, led 17-6 at halftime and put the game out of reach in the third quar- ter with two long scoring drives.
