It was one of Michigan's meager total of seven completions in 28 attempts. Four were intercepted. Number 83 is Wolverine end Tad Stanford, and 28 is Ithacan linebacker John Dorrance. ONCOMING OPPONENTS: Northwestern, Bucks Show Poor Form Detroit Lions Crush Bears In NFLPlay Lions Tighten Race With 41-28_Victory The Detroit Lions remained in the thick of the National Confer- ence Pro championship race Sun- day by handing the league-leading Chicago Bears their second set- back, 41-2before 46,210 fans at Wrigley Field. The Lions now find themselves one-half game off the pace with a 4-2-1 record, while the Bears and the Los Angeles Rams, who crushed the Chicago Cardinals, 45-21, lead the loop with 5-2 marks. Other Sunday games saw Pitts- burgh down Green Bay, 28-7; Cleveland get by Philadelphia, 20- 17; New. York Giants defeated Washington, 28-14; a n d San Francisco edge the New York Yankees, 19-14. IN THEIR decisive victory over GeorgeHHalas' squad, the Lions broke an 11 game losing streak 'to the North Side pros, and also rolled up their biggest point total of the year. It took the Lions only four plays from scrimmage to score their first touchdown after the Bears kicked off. A 47-yard pass from Bobby Layne to Done Dibble gave an indication of what the Bears were in for. Two plays later Layne hit Dibble in the end-zone for Layne's first of four touchdown passes. THE BEARS scored first in the second quarter; a 54-yard pass from Steve Romanik to John Hoffman tied the count at 7-all. After a 51-yard kickoff run- back by Doak Walker, Layne maneuvered his team to the Bear two yard strip with three downs to punch the pigskin over. When the Chicago line held twice, Walker kicked a field goal. Then the Lions went to work as the Bears fell apart. Ed Ber- rang recovered a fumble and in- tercepted a pass within five min- utes. The offensive combination, with ex-Bear Layne passing to Leon Hart, pushed over two fast tallies to make the score 24-7 at intermission. The story of the second half was a tale of two even teams play- ing on a touchdown-for-touch- down basis. It was an injury riddled Michi- gan football team that drilled on the wet and muddy turf at South Ferry Field yesterday. No fewer than seven Wolverines found themselves on the injury list following Saturday's 20-7 de- feat by Cornell. LOWELL PERRY, Roger Zat- koff, Don Peterson, Merritt (Tim) Green, Don Bennett, Don Dugger and Bill Putich picked up enough bumps and bruises to keep train- er Jim Hunt busy for a week. Most of the injuries are of a minor nature and all will prob- ably be ready for Saturday's clash with Northwestern. Green is the most doubtful start- er in the crowd. A bruised hip in- curred in the third quarter was serious enough to keep him out of yesterday's practice session. * * * PERRY, WHO was crippled by a bad ankle and an intestinal dis- order in the Big Red game, is rap- idly rounding into shape and should be in top form soon. Putich, Peterson, Zatkoff and Dugger are nursing leg injuries, but all took part in yesterday's drills. Bennett's loss of three teeth shouldn't impair his per- formance at tackle. On the positive side of the led- ger was the impending return to the lineup of Frank Howell who had been sidelined with an ankle injury since the Stanford game. TRY A PERSONALITY CUTB Shaped and blended to your features Today!!!I The Dascola Barbers Near Michigan Theatre Read Daily Classifieds Howell ran through yesterday's light drill without any trace of a limp. Howell's return would give Oosterbaan some much needed backfield depth. THE EMPHASIS was on ball handling yesterday as the soaked Wolverines worked to avoid a re- petition of last Saturday's shoddy display which resulted in five cost- ly fumbles against the Big Red from Ithaca. Michigan lost the ball on two of these occasions. Movies of the Cornell game and a scouting report on Northwest- ern's 35-14 loss to Purdue complet- ed the day's workout.

PITTSBURGH outpointed Ohio Adams Downs Gomberg, 12-7 In Second Place I-M Playoff Intraiural teams clashed on a muddy, icy field yesterday in the second-through-fifth place Residence Halls finals. In the second place final, Adams scored twice in the first half of the Adams-Gomberg game on a pass from Ron Chubb to Bill Gouldthorpe, and on.Gouldthorpe's deflection of an opponent's pass into the arms of teammate Al Fey, who raced over for the second tally. Gomberg scored in the second half on a pass from Pat Donahue to Byron Hedeen and made the extra point but couldn't overcome Adam's 12-7 lead. Williams' 32-2 victory over Greene was sparked by Herb Eibler, who passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, and Earl Kaufmann, who caught three aerials in the end zone to give Williams fifth place honors. PHIL JACOBUS lofted a pass to Kelly Tarachas for 6 points on the first play from scrimmage of the Strauss-Kelsey game. Wally Dzurus provided the winning point in the 7-6 game when he caught Adam Roth's aerial for the extra point. The victory gave Strauss a fourth place championship. The brother combination of Bob Leach to Dick Leach clicked on a flat pass in the Fletcher-Prescott game, giving Fletcher a 6-0 win. The contest decided third place honors. This afternoon at 4:30 Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Gamma Delta are scheduled to play for the fraternity grid championship. State everywhere but on the score- board where it counts most, and the previously pitiful Panthers walked off their field with a mor- al victory, although OSU recorded a 16-14 decision. Pittsburgh has yet to win a game this season, suf- fering humiliating defeats by Notre Dame and Michigan State among ohers. The Wildcats and Buckeyes represent the difference between a successful and a poor season for Michigan. 1U the Wolverines can whip both, the Maize and Blue will finish the campaign with a winning 5-4 record, and also place on top or close to it in the final Big Ten standings On the basis of Saturday's per- formance, neither foe appears too formidable. - S TWO LONG touchdown passes by little Dale Samuels highlighted Purdue's one-sided triumph. The Boilermakers led, 28-0, before Bob Burson's passing saved Northwest- ern from a shutout. The losers tal- lied twice in the final ten minutes. Purdue pushed across three touchdowns in the third period to ice the game. Norm Kragseth and Bill Ku- ehl, Wildcat ends, snared Burson passes to score Northwestern's two touchdowns, Kragseth boot- ed both extra points. Ohio squeaked through on Vic Janowicz' 20 yard third period field goal, which provided an ade- quate cushion for Pitt's two last quarter scores. *; * * STATISTICALLY, the Buckeyes were beaten. Pit piled up 21 first downs to 13, gained 205 yards rushing to Ohio's 157, and made 127 yardrs through the air to the Buck's 39. The difference was that Ohio took advantage of three of four s c o r i n g opportunities while Pittsburgh squandered five chances before scoring with sev- en minutes left. Halfback Fred Bruney knocked down two passes that were labeled touchdown for the Panthers, and intercepted another in the second half in what was the decisive per- formance for the Buckeyes. JANOWICZ AND quarterback Tony Curcillo sparked what of- fense the Buckeyes mustered. Cur- cillo scored both Ohio touchdowns on runs of one and 26 yards, after he and Janowicz had alternated carrying the ball on drives that set up the tallies. Pitt powered 74 yards for its second touchdown, quarterback Bob Bestwick sneaking over with just 38 seconds left in the game. Time ran out before the Panthers could get their hands on the ball again. This weekend Ohio State meets powerful Illinois at Columbus.
