Then you can blame the loss on something other than the Wolverines poor play. Saturday in Columbus, though, Michigan didn't play poorly at all and the refs blew several big calls in the opposite direction. How much bigger a moral victory can you achieve? The refereeing atrocities began pretty early. On a second-and-goal from the eight, Chris Zurbrugg threw a pass into the endzone which was picked off by Ohio State's Sonny Gordon in midair. The only problem was that he landed two feet out of bounds and apparently out of the vision of any of- ficial-touchback Buckeyes. In the third quarter with the score 7-3, Michigan had the ball second-and-four at the OSU 19. The Rose-Bowl starved crowd in excess of 90,000 was making a lot of noise and Zurbrugg asked for an official's time out because his signals couldn't be heard. He didn't receive one and amidst the din, a Wolverine offensive lineman moved and Michigan was pushed back five yeards. Eventually the team had to settle for a Bob Bergeronfield goal. After Ohio State notched its second touchdown, Sim Nelson caught a pass for 17 yards, but fum- bled the ball away. The replays showed that Nelson's kneesr were on the ground before the ball came loose, although his body hadn't touched down yet. But in college, you're down when the knees touch. Nelson couldn't have gotten back up and ran after that, so he shouldn't be able to fum- ble either.' All told, these errors resulted in one TD for the Buckeyes and took away at least a field goal from Michigan. I hope Brent and Ara were pointing out this stuff on television. Even though the Buckeyes are headed to Pasadena for the first time since before anyone can remember, they're going to have to live with the fact that they should have lost to the Wolverines. That ought to spoil their trip to Disneyland. One thing about being from Michigan, no matter where you go on the road for football, everyone hates you. And if the home team wins, it's the greatest thing that ever happened to these people in their miserable lives. Ohio State was a perfect example. For some reason, everyone at that school has a deep inner hatred for anyone or thing that comes from Michigan. In Columbus, they throw things at Michiganders, tell them they suck and burn their cars. You have to wonder what kind of childhood trauma caused this behavior. Illinois last year was almost as bad. Those people sat in their scumhole of a city and worked themselves into a frenzy over Bo Schembechler and his football team-even the Illinois players and coaches participated. However, after they won, the Illini seemed to be in too much shock over actually going to the Rose Bowl to keep up the "Muck Fichigan" chants. Apparently the daze lasted on through bowl day. I've already implied that Ohio State doesn't deserve to go to the Rose Bowl. The team that does is Wisconsin. Think about it. If the Badgers had just hung on to the ball against Michigan, they would have had an easy victory. They also lost at home to Minnesota-you know that could have been avoided. In the last four weeks, though, Wisconsin has beaten OSU, tied Iowa, destroyed Purdue and buried Michigan State. I think it can make a solid claim to be the conference's best team at this date. But it just doesn't pay to go to a non-football power school. They come up with their best team in 20 years in dairyland and wind up in the Hall of Fame Bowl playing Kentucky. Speaking of bowls, remember how Muddy Waters and his Cherry Bowl crew filled the papers with predictions of the Big Ten runner-up against a top Southeast Conference foe? Well, what did they come up with for the Silverdome Showdown? Michigan State versus Rutgers. Come on, that's the worst bowl match-up since Great Lakes played Mare Island in the 1919 Rose Bowl. Rookie of NEW YORK (AP) - Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets, who blazed a strikeout trail during the 1984 season that erased the names of Herb Score and Sam McDowell from the record books, was named National League Rookie of the Year yesterday. Gooden's selection by the Baseball Writer's Association of America gave the Mets the league's rookie selection for the second straight season. Right fielder Darryl Strawberry' was the 1983 NL rookie. Gooden received all but one of the fir- st place votes, totaled 118 points, and was the only player mentioned on all 24 ballots. Philadelphia second baseman: Juan Samuel finished second with 62 points and Los Angeles pitcher Orel the Year Hershiser was third with 15 points. Gooden, who finished second to Rich Sutcliffe of the Chicago Cubs in the NL Cy Young voting, struck out 276 batters in 218 innings for the Mets, breaking the rookie record of 245 set in 1955 by Score, of the Cleveland Indians. Gooden, who turned 20 last Friday, was the youngest player in the league last season. He also broke the major league record for strikeout ratio, fanning an average of 11.39 batters per nine in- nings. The old record was 10.71 by Cleveland's McDowell in 1965. Gooden's earned run average of 2.60 was second in the league only to the 2.40 posted by Alejandro Pena of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Grapplers gain Ohio Open victory By ADAM OCHLIS Michigan wrestling coach Dale Bahr might not admit to it, but after wat- ching his team demolish all the com- petition and finish first at the Ohio Open in Dayton last weekend, he has to think that he has one of the top six or seven teams in the country. Consider the following: " This is Michigan's first team vic- tory in the ten-team tournament during Bahr's six year reign, and its first since 1973. * MICHIGAN defeated Wisconsin which was sixth in the nation last year; Michigan State, which placed second in in the Big Ten; and Ohio State. " Senior All-American Joe Mc- Farland remained undefeated for the season after winning the 134-pound division. Bahr said of McFarland, "Joe looked really good, but we've come to expect that from him." " John Fisher also remained un- defeated after winning his weight class at 126 pounds. Fisher became the first Michigan freshman to raise his record to 10-0 since McFarland did it five years ago. Commenting on Fisher's im- pressive performance, Bahr said, "He wrestled like a senior would. He's an outstanding wrestler who adds a great deal to our team." " Heavyweight Kirk Trost finished second, losing for only the first time this year. That loss in the finals, however, was to Matt Ghaffarri, an alternate on this year's Olympic team, who has used up all his college eligibility and is unable to wrestle in dual meets. " Junior Scott Rechsteiner placed second at 177 pounds; losing a close 5-4 decision in the finals. " Tony Latora (150) was forced to for- feit his semi-final match due to a collarbone injury. He was subsequently dropped down to sixth place. Latora's injury is not serious. * Junior Rickey Moore (142) and senior Bill Elbin placed third and fourth respectively and Bahr was happy with both performances. Elbin usually wrestles at 177 but is being moved up due to Rechsteiner's success. Moore is coming off a fine 13-6 sophomore season. Bahr was not especially pleased with the tournament officials. "We usually don't get any breaks from Ohio of- ficials," he said. Bahr referred to the penalty point Rechsteiner was assessed in the finals for stalling, which ultimately was the winning margin in the 5-4 decision. va..M r va vv I Fisher .. remains undefeated I-- serving 7 days 'till I a. m.
