The Wolverines, after their 17th unbeaten season, also have All-Americans in defensive back Randy Logan and offensive tackle Paul East, while Jones tallied 17 and grabbed 20 rebounds to lead both teams. "It wasn't our best effort," said East coach Sal Rizzo. "You have to sort of expt-ct this in the first game of the season, but with a little more practice they'll be playing more as a unit." McQuaid stayed even with East for the first minute of play, but the Orientals combined baskets by Hunter, Jones and Ricky Gamble to mount a 16-3 advantage with 3:13 left In the first quarter.

"They had a definite height advantage," said McQuaid coach Tim Jordan. "The thing that really beat us was their ability to fast break and get the rebounds. They outplayed us threefold." The Knights turned the ball over to East eight times in the first quarter, as the Orientals took a 20-9 edee. McQuaid pulled closer at halftime, 35-18.

The Orientals reeled off eight straight points to open the quarter on baskets by Mike Fennell, Marvin Jones (Mitch's brother), Jimmy Christmas and Hunter, respectively.

McQuaid managed two points via the foul line and didn't score a basket in the period until 4:04 was left in the game. "We were really nervous," said Joe Urzetta of McQuaid. "But you have to realize they are very good and have that tremendous fast break. They should beat Mooney." Roger Key, who lead the Knights with 14 points, echoed Urzetta's words. "I was impressed with their speed," said.

In tonight's tournament final, the Tribunes play Lakeland Community College of Ohio, which downed Marshall-town Community College of Iowa. 81-64, in the o-ening game last night. The losing teams pav a consohtion game tonight at 7 o'clock. MCC led Rhode Island through most of the first half, but the Knights came back from a 42-38 halftime deficit to tie it at 44-44 in the first 80 seconds after intermission.

The Tribunes held a narrow advantage through most of the second half, pulling away to 62-56 in mid-period. Then Rhode Island's Rick Santos hit on three field goals to Murphy's one, bringing the Knights to within two points with 9:13 to play. MCC held a two-point lead until Santos made a long jumper to tie it at 68-68 with 6:49 to play. The teams exchanged three turnovers apiece, then MCC's Dan Schrader scored two from the foul line to make it 70-68. They traded baskets until MCC led 74-73 with 2:30 to play.

Rhode Island's Walt Edwards missed two foul shots, and MCC took over possession, stalling until 1:14. Rhode Island took the ball with 36 seconds left and stopped the clock. The Tribunes' Bobby Joe Blakely stole the ball and fed it to Murphy, who missed his driving layup but drew a foul from the Knights' James Jones with 24 seconds to go. Murphy made both shots to give MCC a 76-73 lead. Santos made a jumper with 10 seconds left to pull Rhode Island within one.

After each team turned the ball over, Murphy was fouled by Santos and went to the foul line for a one-and-one attempt. He made the first one, but missed the second, getting his own rebound and missing a shot at the buzzer-Rick Seever had 11 points for MCC, and Tony Douglas added 10. Santos finished with 23 to lead Rhode Island, and 6-7 center Walt Edwards had 19. It was the first game of the season for both teams. Edwards dominated the boards' for the Knights, pulling down 14 rebounds to 10 for MCC center Schrader.

However, the Tribunes led in team rebounds, 51-50.

Ohio State, still smarting over last year's 10-7 loss at Ann Arbor, counters with solid performers in freshman tailback Archie Griffin and workhorse fullback Champ Hcnson on offense along with defensive linebacker Randy Gradishar. BUT NO JOHNNY RODGERS. RICH Glover or Greg Pruitt will be here. The Heisman is not at stake, only pride and a Pasadena trip. It should turn out to be a better football game than the Big Eight title scrap in Lincoln was.

Meanwhile, who wins the Heisman? Pruitt still thinks he will. "Maybe the voters will split between the two Nebraska players (Glover and Rodgers) and I'll come out on top. I think that's what happened to me when I finished third last year the voters divided Oklahoma votes between me and Jack Mildren," he said shortly after the Sooners had stunned Nebraska. RODGERS THINKS HE'LL WIN IT DE-spite an ordinary showing Thursday. 'I hope nobody passes me up because they think I don't have the character," said the brilliant Cornhusker runner who has been in a continuing traffic scrape with the law.

"If they do, then I don't want he said. My vote goes to Glover, not because I think Rodgers lacks moral fiber but because I think that Nebraska's middle guard plays in more of the game than does Rodgers. Johnny rarely carries the football from scrimmage. His punt returns can be fantastic and he'll be a sensational pro. So will Pruitt.

BUT FOR A GUY WHO IS IN THE midst of all the action, one who slugs it out in the trenches and on whom -the Nebraska defense relies, Glover is the man. He won't win. Linemen don't. But Glover is a great, great football player. Today the accent will be on teams more than individuals.

Franklin will be conspicuous. So will Hen-son, who carries the football 30-40 times a game. Maybe others will rise to the occasion. But college football's top three Heisman candidates will be watching on TV. Who'll win it is still anybody's guess.

Cooley was up to everything after that, except Larry Wright's backhander from close in the right side that made it 3-2. The Rochester forechecking, with Herman Karp, Red Armstrong and Bob Kelly working well, was a key factor as it induced sloppy passing by Richmond.

Owner Arthur Modell is getting his jollies because in his heart he feels that the team's present success is premature. Modell is one of the National Football League's real pistols, the man who first rocked the tradition-bound league by firing Paul Brown from his very own Browns. There followed a few years with mild Blanton Collier at the coaching helm, but with the appointment of Nick Skorich in 1971, Modell thinks he's found the long-range winning formula.

"WE HAD PRIMARILY BEEN KNOWN as a finessing team," Modell ijld me. "When I hired Nick I told him 'Let's make this a physical That's where the game of football is." So, by golly, the Browns became physical. Please turn page ceiver, Dick Wakefield, then intercepted the football. The officials didn't agree and the Wolverines went on to a 10-7 victory. Today Ohio Stadium will be jam-packed with 87,000 screaming fans (1 p.m., Channel 13, Rochester).

Michigan coach Bo Schembechler has had a knack of stealing away Ohio football players to the Ann Arbor campus and two of them, quarterback Dennis Franklin and fullback Ed Shuttlesworth, are his brightest stars. Hayes is not one to let strategy fall by the wayside. On the OSU bulletin board hangs a quote attributed to Franklin, who came out of football hotbed Massillon and said, "All Ohio football players don't go to Michigan, only the good with a victory, as well as a second straight Big ten crown and a second straight Rose Bowl jaunt. Ohio State, 8-1, could grab a share of a title (and the Pasadena trio because it would hold a victory over Michigan) with a triumph. Both squads are in good shape.

Ohio State will have co-captain Rick Galbos back at wingback for the first time in three weeks, but lost correrback Lou Mathis with a fractured ankle last week. Michigan's nifty sophomore end. Gil Chapman, who comes from Elizabeth, N.J., was injured last week as the Wolverines squeaked past Purdue but may see action. They're billing it as "The Woody and Bo Show" here and it should turn out to be quite a head-knocking session. Most observers rate Franklin over Ohio State's quarterback Greg Hare, but, as is customary, the Buckeyes scorn the pass anyway, preferring to hand the ball to Harold (Champ) Henson, a 6-foot-4, 221-pound sophomore from Ashville, Ohio, whose dad used to bring him to the mammouth OSU stadium when he was a youngster just to look around and dream.

Franklin is tough to defend against because he can run as well as throw. "He can throw out of the pocket, from play action or on a rollout and not throw a bad ball," said an admiring Schembechler. "He has the potential to become the best quarterback Michigan has ever had," said his coach.

"Remember Ann Arbor," they exhort.

It's an entreaty which outdoes, in emotion, "Remember the Alamo," or "Remember the Maine" of yesteryear. That's because nothing surpasses football here and absolutely no game ranks with Ohio State vs. Michigan intensity and feeling.
