Michigan-Ohio State 1988, the
sequel.
It almost seemed as if the
Wolverines and Buckeyes were try-
ing to see how close they could
come to last year's game. The game
swung back and forth, Michigan the
early winner, while Ohio State
caught up later in the game. The
Wolverines would pull away in the
end, winning 28-18 and earning a
second outright Big Ten title and a
retur to the Rose Bowl.
Michigan finishes the regular
season with a 10-1 record, 8-0 in the
Big Ten. Ohio State, which also
the Michigan victory was dampened
by Vada Murray's frightening injury
at the end of the game. The junior
defensive back collided with team-
mate Todd Plate and fell motionless
to the ground. Murray had to be
driven off the field, immobilized in a
stretcher.
The injury is not as severe as
first feared.
"Vada is out of danger according
to the reports I got," Schembechler
said.
Ironically, Murray's injury came
after Plate picked off a Greg Frey
pass, stopping Ohio State's last ef-
fort to take the lead from Michigan.

"This is back-to-back," Michigan
coach Bo Schembechler said. "We've
never won (two titles) outright,
back-to-back. I'm very pleased and
looking forward to going to the
Rose Bowl to play USC. That will
be a good game as well."

Now the Wolverines can focus on
Pasadena and a rematch with South-

the Buckeyes earlier this season, 42-

Michigan would be a more than wor-

"I think they can beat SC,"
Buckeye linebacker Derek Isaman
said. "We'll find out."

SPRINGFIELD, MA - When
Michigan took a three-point lead
with less than six minutes to go in
Saturday's Tip-off Classic,
Michigan coach Steve Fisher had to
be thinking he had at least a little
more magic up his sleeve. His
fourth-ranked Wolverines had erased
the nine-point deficit the sixth-
ranked Arizona Wildcats had
accumulated.

two daily newspapers and six
unions, setting the stage for a strike
against The Detroit News and De-

said.
The newspapers were scheduled to
merge their non-editorial operations

erating agreement first proposed in
April 1986 and upheld earlier this
month by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Talks between the Detroit News-

papers' combined operations, and

(AP) - The Communist premier
held unprecedented talks with
opposition leaders yesterday, then
joined bold reformer Alexander
Dubcek at a pro-democracy rally
before 300,000 elated, flag-waving
demonstrators.
Even the armed forces and riot

shanty, watched the last dried leaves
whisk across the Diag Wednesday
afternoon.
The students had gone home.
By 5 p.m., Ann Arbor was a de-
serted town. The few students in
front of the Union stood by duffel
bags and suitcases, waiting for the
commuter bus to Detroit. Shop-
keepers hung signs saying "Will be
closed for Thanksgiving," and the
library and computing centers shut
down.
But a few stayed. The football
team, in town for the Michigan-
Ohio State game, shared Thank-
sgivin dinner in its own dining
room at South Quad after a morning
of rigorous practice.
A few fans, too, chose the game

But shoppers on Friday had no
trouble finding open doors. Smiling
clerks bustled between counters and
dressing rooms, happy to please
those parents who came with stu-

the year. Christmas music rang
through every other store, reminding
shoppers that time would tick
quickly away now that Thanksgiving
was over.

Blue-stickered cars competed for

had still not returned, the town al-
