rmn Hie 1 I Oil rM 3 Over-Land 1 rail To End Miami Domination iriedsidns BY BILL FORD Of The Enquirer Staff Cincinnati's Bearcats shook off four years of frustration in 60 minutes Saturday with a slashing, plunging ground attack that shredded Miami, 28-14, in the 69th football game of an ancient rivalry. A Nippert Stadium crowd estimated at 17,000 sat in sub freezing temperatures to witness the efficient Cincinnati Enquirer Bearcats whirl around and plunge through the helpless Redskins to score in every quarter. It was Cincinnati's first victory since 1959 in the traditional rivalry which Miami leads, 34-29. Six games have been deadlocked. Cincinnati's production represented the most points scored by the Bearcats against Miami since the 1952 team put 34 on the boards.

And were it not for the magic conjured up by Miami's Ernie Kellermann, the margin would have been greater. Kellermann, breaking about even in a personal duel with Cincinnati's equally great quarterback, Brig Owens, ran 49 yards Page 1-E Sunday, November 22, 1964 for one touchdown and set up his team's other score with some flashy passes. But the little lefthander alone was no match for the deep and varied talents in the Bearcats' devastating assault. Led by Owens, halfback Al Nelson and fullback Bill Bailey, the Bearcats' amassed 343 yards on the ground. Nelson danced 11 yards for Cincinnati's first touchdown and before the end came he had tacked on 123 more yards.

Alone, his total yardage topped by .14 the rushing total mustered by the Redskins. Owens, again masterfully directing his inspired teammates, carried 15 times for 91 yards. His passing meant another 45 for a 136-yard afternoon. He tried only seven throws, completing four one a 26-yard payoff to halfback Errol Prisby. Miami lost but one fumble and it geared the Bearcats for the touchdown.

Allan Neville, spearheading a defense that permitted Kellermann few easy moments, bounced on the quarterback's bobble at midfield and in six plays Cincinnati was across the goal. Nelson carried twice in the drive, once for nine yards, then the 11-yard trip Into the end zone. It was the halfback's 12th TD by rushing. Owens' try for the point from placement failed, but he later was to make amends with two successful runs on conversion attempts. The Redskins came right hack with the kickoff, storming 73 yards for the equalizer as halfback Don Peddie, on fourth down, drove over from the one.

When Glenn Trout converted, Miami was on top, 7-6. Those meager riches lasted briefly, however, as the Bearcats were to take a short kick on their 47 late in the first period and drive across the goal. This 53-yard march spanned eight plays and reached Its climax when Owens, on his second pass of the game, perfectly led Prisby and laid the ball in the halfback's hand in the end zone. That covered 26 yards and again the conversion attempt, this time a run by Nelson, failed. Falcons Swoop On XU Leave Only Bones, 35-7 Feast For Falcons BY BILL ANZER Of The Enquirer Staff Bowling Green's well-muscled Falcons, stunned at the outset by a quick Xavier touchdown, quickly recovered and methodically unleashed a salvo of destroyer tactics to bomb the Muskies, 35-7, in a bone-chilling Saturday afternoon of football at Xavier Stadium.

Xavier, which attempted to pull the game out in the final quarter with the introduction of a shotgun aerial attack, finished unceremoniously with a losing record of 4-5-1 under coach Ed Biles, his first season under .500 since assuming the Xavier coaching role, Xavier struck Its threatening blow by scoring with the opening klckoff on a 62-yard drive, culminated by a one-yard bolt by Dennis Caponl.

Taking the kickoff at their 27, the 'Cats pushed 73 yards in 14 plays. Four times in the advance Owens demonstrated his skill by producing the key play on third dowii (See dressing rooms story on Page 3-E and more pictures on Pages 3-E and 6-E.) Immediately after, a misfired Xavier aerial set up the next BG touchdown when the Falcon's Joe Sou-liere picked off a Williams pass on the XU 40 and returned it to the Muskie 24. After moving to the XU one-yard line, fullback Jim Wisser rammed in for the score to hike BG in front, 21-7, with 18 seconds left in the first half. Bowling Green heaped further misery on the Muskies in the second half, pushing across two more TDs to insure the case. With 3:04 left in the third period, the Falcons marched 85 yards to spiral their advantage to 27-7, with Williams bulling eight yards for the TD.

In the third period Xavier inserted five ends as it injected a shot gun offense in an attempt to get back in the game. Xavier twice moved within striking distance of the BG goal in the fourth period but a peek at paydirt was all they could muster. Xavier's Williams, using spread maneuvers, attempted to put the Muskies on the scoreboard, but his aerials could not connect at the right time for crucial plays to keep possession. The Muskies nearest threat was in the BG eight. The other TD attempt caf-ried to the Falcon 12.

The final BG marker was the easiest of the avalanche. Xavier, with possession on its five, attempted to pass out of trouble but again a Williams pass misfired. Williams, dropping back into his own end zone, uncorked an aerial that was alertly plucked off by the Falcons' Tom O'Leary who danced over from the five unmolested for the final BG six-pointer.

Jay Cunningham and Stew Williams, a 235-pound package at fullback, heaped the main misery on the Muskies, each piling up 61 yards rushing which assisted the Falcons in amassing 244 on land maneuvers. Quarterback Jerry Ward chipped in with an additional 81 yards to give BO a total offensive product of 325 yards. The Muskies, who moved within earshot of the BG goaline twice in the final period with its spread formation antics, arrived too late with too little in the crucial attempts. The aerial route was Xavier's best offensive function, picking up 172 yards behind soph quarterback Carroll Williams. Xavier maneuvered 62 yards with the opening kick-off, with most of the yardage coming on aerial concoctions of quarterback Carroll Williams.

Xavier initiated the push from its 38, but the Falcons held on the XU 45 and forced the Muskies into a kicking situation. With Xavier's George Wilson back to punt, the Falcons were called for roughing the kicker. This miscue enabled the Muskies to retain possession of the ball which was moved to the BG 40 yard line because of the infraction. From there, Williams moved Xavier to the Falcons' 10 on a pass to end Vlnce Eysoldt. Williams then swung wide around Xavier's left end and sailed down to the one.

On the next play, fullback Dennis Caponi slammed in from the one for the TD production, spiraling Xavier in front, 7-0, following Ray Dankel's extra point execution. But, this was the only time Xavier was able to en-Joy the prosperity of being in front. What transpired thereafter was strictly for the edification of BG fans. Minutes later the well muscled assassins of the MAC went to work and deadlocked the match on an 80-yard drive. With ward directing the lethal offense, the Falcons chopped methodically to the Muskies' 15-yard line, with Cunningham being the main contributor to the BG yard- age.

From the 15, diminutive Tony Trent zipped the distance for the score, literally leaping over two Xavier defenders at the goalline. Ward kicked the tying point and the Falcons were off to the races. With 4:46 remaining In the second quarter, BG slammed 91 yards for a go-ahead touchdown, with Williams, Wlsser, Ward and Cunningham chewing up the yardage. After zipping to the Xavier five, Ward flipped an aerial to halfback Tom Reicosky for the score to hike the Falcons In front 14-7 after Ward's second perfect kick. (See XU-BG pictures on Pages 6-E and 8-E.) But, from there, Xavier's upset ambitions went down the field under an avalanche of BQ touchdowns, The Falcons' parade of touchdowns was marched off by diminutive Tony Trent, Tom Relcosky, Jim Wlsser Stewart Williams and Tom O'Leary.

3). Miami defender Don Once on a third down situation in the drive, Owens was trapped attempting to make up 14 yards. He wriggled loose, picked up a couple of blockers and before the defense slammed him to the ground, Brig had gained 22 yards. With this, the rest was easy, Prisby circling left end for the final eight yards. Owens ran the conversion and it was a 20-7 game.

Undaunted, however, the Redskins flagged the kick off and scored again. Kellermann took his team to the Cincinnati 49. Then some strange doings developed among the Redskins, a couple of whom seemed to be arguing with the quarterback on exactly where they should be positioned. Kellermann took the snap and got no argument whatsoever, as he slipped around left end, swivel-hipped a couple of Bearcat secondary men and went in standing up. That Junket put the dandy quarterback ahead on ground yards gained for the day as he finished with a plus 13.

Even though Trout's subsequent kick from placement made it close at 20-11 there was no doubt the Bearcats were to prevail. They got the clincher in the fourth quarter when Bailey crashed through the middle on a delayed draw, cut for the sidelines and scored untouched. Kellermann attempted to pass his teammates back into contention, but the Bearcats were unimpressed and held in the clutch. For Cincinnati, which winds up next Saturday at Houston, the brilliance of the ground attack ran the record to 6-2. Nelson by the way used his 134 yards his fifth game over the century mark to kite his total to 895.

Ohio State's deepest penetration came in the fourth period when the combined efforts of Unverferth and Willard Sander moved the ball to the Michigan 21. But the Wolverine line, led by big tackle Arnold Simkus and Bill Keating, stiffened and the drive ended when Volk intercepted a Don Unverferth pass. The Buckeyes had a couple of scoring opportunities In the first half but their puny defense couldn't bet the job done. The Bucks got good position in the second quarter entire second half playing conservative football while protecting the Michigan lead. In the battle of the Cincinnati fullbacks, Ohio's Sander came out with a two-yard edge over Anthony.

Sander, the McNlcholas blockbuster, gained 65 yards in 14 tries while Roger Bacon's Anthony notched 63 yards in 19 tries. Carl Ward, a Cincinnati Taft product, carried the ball only once for Michigan, losing a yard. The victory was Michigan's eighth of the season and first in five years over Ohio State. The Wolverines' only loss this year came at the hands of Purdue, 21-20. Michigan wound up with a 6-1-0 Big 10 mark while Ohio finished 5-1-0.

The Bucks were 7-2 on the Funk tried a field goal. The kick was short, bounced into the end zone and then rolled back to the one-yard line where it was downed by Dan Porretta. Michigan couldn't move the ball and a punt put the Bucks in scoring territory again, this time on the Michigan 33. But that's right where the ball was four plays later and it was becoming apparent to the huge crowd that Ohio's offense was not going anywhere against the determined Michigan team. Statistically, the Buckeyes held a slight yardage edge, 180 to 160, but the bulge came late In the game when Underferth completed a couple of desperation passes.

Timberlake, who had a hand in all of the scoring, picked up 28 yards rushing and 45 yards passing, completing three of nine. He threw far less Saturday than usualvas he spent the mmmmmmmmmmmmim hit by several maize and blue linemen, fumbled and Wolverine end John Henderson recovered on the 20. Timberlake then picked up three yards on a rollout, moving the ball to the 17 and called a timeout. On the next play he faded back and fired a bullet pass to Detwiler who gathered it in on the five and went In for the score. (See OSU-Michigan pictures on Pages 2-E and 4-E.) lnes cashed In on all opportunities in whipping the Bucks in a titanic defensive struggle in Ohio Stadium before 84,685 fans.

Timberlake, the lanky senior from Franklin, Ohio, was the man who killed Ohio's Rose Bowl hopes and he did It in several ways although his total yardage for the day was below his usual output. The six-foot four-inch, 210-pound signal caller connected on a 17-yard touch-down pass to halfback Jim Detwiler in the waning moments of the first half for the game's only touchdown, kicked the extra point and then sewed up the verdict fo Michigan in the fourth quarter with a 27-yard field goaL The All-America candidate also called an excellent game throughout, especially in the second half while protecting the Michigan lead. The Wolverine defense held the Bucks to a total of 180 yards both rushing and passing and forced six fumbles (almost unbelievable for an Ohio State team), recovering two, one setting up a touchdown. The Ohio defense, too, was splendid as usual, but It got absolutely no help from the offense. The Bucks had a slight edge In the battle of the statistics, holding Michigan to 160 yards.
