Feeling desperate Saturday, maybe Michigan broke out its Rose Bowl offense a few months early.

Either that, or the Hawkeyes uncloaked a defense worthy of the Rose Bowl, not to mention a rounded of- lnbAul Ilk. tVIa tk Wolverines have come up (and fallen down) against on many a New Year's Day. Hard to tell which way to look at Iowa's 25-0 victory. But whatever their vantage point Saturday. 66,000 Kinnick Stadium eyewitnesses saw the game of the decades.

Not decade singular, mind yon though Saturday rated as the latest la Iowa's ever-expanding list of red-letter dates under Hayden Fry. No, that's decades plural It was the '70s against the '80s Saturday. The way it used to be in the Big Ten versus the way it has to be in the Big Ten today if the Rose Bowl is your destination. And the '80s won Just as they do in almost everything else, ssve campus rioting, these days. SPEAKING OF CAMPUS rioting, not a crossbar bent under the weight of a besotted cekbrator at game's end.

When Michigan last lost here, Schembechler hadn't even taken his first collegiate head-coaching Job. A Schembechler-coachtid Michigan team never bad been clocked so decisively, yet the fans saw no reason to fire-bomb automobiles, smash windows or even rip down an Innocent goalpost What for? The Hawkeyes were 7-point favorites. Call it a sign of the times. Actually, it's probably Important not to overstate the 70s-versus-'80s argument After aU, if Russell Rein had been Rick Leach, mayb4 Bo Scbembechler's meat and potatoes offense would have been enough to give the Wolverines a 7-3 victory or something equally as unenthralllng. As it was, Schembechler said be wu forced to simplify the offense for his sophomore quarterback Which must have been difficult.

It was a moment to savor here Saturday. There have been few like it in Iowa's football history. "Nobody ever dreamed we could goose egg Michigsn," said bsppy Coach Hayden Fry after his Hawkeyes hsd slapped a 36-0 loss on the Wolverines.

"And the shutout couldn't have come at a better time on national TV before a quality opponent" The play of Iowa's aroused defensive unit was brilliant from start to finish, blanking Michigan for the first time in 83 games and giving the Hawks their first shutout in this series since a 0-0 tie in 1939. Even more significant it was the worst defeat in Bo Scbembechler's 16-year coaching career at Michigan. The Wolverines were almost help-, less when they had the ball, so fierce was the charge by the Hawkeye defenders, and when it was over they owned only 104 hard-earned yards rushing and 83 yards passing. Defense Start i I Much of that came late in the too, after the Hawks steadily built their lead on Ronnie Harmon's short; scoring run, two field goals by Tom Nichol, and fourth-quarter touch downs by Owen Gill and Chuck Long. Harmon, Gill and Long are getting most of the notoriety for Iowa, which now stands 9-3 for tbe season snd 4-i to tie for the Big Ten lead, but this time they had to share the honors with the likes of Devon Mitchell, Nate Creer and tbe rest of the stout defense.

"I think everybody on defense should be tbe MVP," declared Long. Mitchell intercepted two passes and Creer had one. Mitchell's second, which he snared near his end zone and returned 75 yards, crushed Michigan's comeback hopes Just when it seemed the Wolverines might be capable of providing some second-half excite ment One of tbe few things that went wrong for the Hawks occurred at tbe end of that play. Mitchell suffered a shoulder injury when he was tackled by Michigan running back Rick Rogers. It wasn't immediately known if bell be sidelined for a while.

"It Wasn't Pretty" "This was one of the most satisfying wins that I've ever been associated with, against one of tbe best football programs in America," said Fry. "It wasn't real pretty. We didn't really open up, because we were determined not to make a lot of mistakes. 'That was our main concern. We knew the only way Michigan could beat us would be if we made a bunch of mistakes like we did when we lost to Penn State and Ohio State.

It wu more a case of perfect tinv tag.

As the only women's team registered in the four-state Mid-America region of the United States Volleyball Association, the Fort Dodge women were handed the title without launching a serve. Such graclousness will probably never be seen again. Thirty-nine women's teams are registered this fall in the USVBA's Cornbelt region, which now includes ost the state of Iowa. Competitive volleyball, which has beea growing steadily in the last decade, is even hotter la the post-LA. Olympics era.

Those medal-winning performances by the U.S. team did not go unnoticed. "We tried to start a power league for men this ssys Kike Piper of the Mason City recreation depart strong programs in the YMCA, which she also administered. She also "lucked out with a husband who's an off i-ciaL He used to do a lot of our games." Fort Dodge won its only state volleyball championship in 1971. The next year 130 girls came out for the team.

Dubuque schools dominated the sport in the mid-1970s, taking six straight championships four by Wahlert and one apiece by Hempstead and Senior. The three schools were again rated in the top four behind Davenport Central in the final 1984 rankings. "Volleyball has always been big in Dubuque," said Bill Jantsch, central athletic director for the Dubuque public schools. There has been pretty good base of interest to begin with. It Just took ott right from the start" The program to so popular among Dubuque Junior high students that Washington Junior High has three sev- vnuwywi.

We're tickled about it I'm sure it has to do with the Olympics That women do well in volleyball should not be surprising. It has been a high school sport for girls in Iowa since the 1969-70 school year.

It is not offered as a varsity sport for boys. Fort Dodge Coach Jackie Wilde, whose Dodgers were top-rated by the Iowa Girls' High School Athletic Union for most of this fall before slipping to fifth in the final rankings, started the Fort Dodge High School program. "The boys had the gym all the time so you squashed in a practice whenever you could," Wilde recalled. "In 1969, we were the only team in the state that bumped and set and spiked. A lot of coaches said I was crazy to coach that We got burned a lot at first Now everybody's doing it" Wilde hsd tbe good fortune to start In a town that already bad several.
