mere 22 yards in the second half. That,
combined with stingy coverage in the
secondary, prevented the Spartans from
closing the gap.
The Wolverines sacked Burke six
times, easily the highest output this sea-
son for the defense.
As they have in every previous
game, the Michigan offense continued
to have significant success. The
Wolverines compiled 206 rushing
yards - 69 of them came on an
Anthony Thomas touchdown on his
first carry of the game. The play, late in
the first quarter, was Michigan's first
score of the game.
"I was thinking about the coaches,
who always say 'they better not catch
you from behind,"' Thomas said.
The Spartans could catch neither
Thomas nor fellow tailback Clarence
Williams throughout the contest.
Thomas amassed 106 yards on the
ground while Williams picked up 88.
The other Michigan rushing touch-
down of the game came on a one-yard
quarterback sneak touchdown by
Brady.
The remainder of Michigan's scoring
came from three field goals by Feely,
one of which tied his career longest
kick - a 51-yarder in the first quarter.
Although the Wolverines did pull out
a victory, they fumbled the ball four
times and lost it twice. Both turnovers
came on special teams plays - a fum-
bled punt by James Whitley and a fun-
ble on a pooch kickoff by Grady Brooks.
"We're not a great football team, by
any stretch of the imagination," Carr
said. "But we played hard today and
think that enabled us to overcome the
mistakes we made."

House passes $80B tax-cut measures
WASHINGTON - An $80 billion Republican tax cut calculated to appeal
millions of middle-class Americans has passed in the House.
President Clinton renewed his threat to veto the election-year bill because
would spend part of the $1.6 trillion budget surplus forecast over the next decad
instead of holding all of it until Social Security is safeguarded.
The House passed the measure 229-195 on Saturday, sending it to the Senate,
its future is less certain. The 16-member Michigan delegation followed a mostlyparty
line vote with all six Republicans and Democrst Jim Barcia (D-Bay City) voting ft
the measure. The delegation's other nine Democrats voted against it.
On Friday, the House voted for 90 percent of any federal surplus to be held
reserve until a Social Security rescue plan is in place.
Republicans pushed through the Social Security bill on a 240-188 vote to blur
Democratic criticism - certain to echo across congressional political campaign
- that the GOP tax cut would amountto a raid on the popular retirement progran
The Michigan delegation split along party lines, with all 10 Democrats votin
against it and the six Republicans for it.
Most Democrats do not support the use of a surplus that may not materialize t

Arafat remarks may
refer to statehood
JERUSALEM - Israel has explic-
itly warned him not to do it. The
United States says it too would have
to oppose.
But as Yasser Arafat prepares to step
to the podium at the United Nations
today to deliver his first address to the
General Assembly asa head of govern-
ment, it is still unclear whether he will
use the occasion to announce his plans
to declare a Palestinian state in barely
seven months' time.
The Palestinian Authority presi-
dent already has said that unless there
is significant progress toward an
Israeli-Palestinian settlement, he
intends to make a unilateral declara-
tion of statehood on May 4, 1999, the
date marking the end of a transition
period set by the interim peace
accords reached in Oslo, Norway, in
1993. But an announcement from the
stage of the United Nations would
increase the stakes sharply.
"If he goes forward with the
announcement - and it's hard to imag-
ine why he would give up the opport
nity to drum up international suppc
- it will make it much harder f
either the Palestinians or the Isra
government to back down," said l
Alpher, head of the Jerusalem ofw
the American Jewish Committee ai
an expert on political and strateg
affairs.
