Griffin, dancing, twisting and slipping tackles to the delight of 87,447, amassed 246 yards in 30 carries before he was taken out of the game with 38 seconds left in the yards, topping the previous season rushing standard of 1,142 yards by fullback John Brockington in 10 games in 1970. Griffin now has 2,133 yards in two seasons and with two more years to play seems a cinch to become Ohio's all- third period and Ohio in command 48-0. Archie's 246 yards broke his own all-time single game rushing record of 239 yards in 27 carries against North Carolina in 1972. And Saturday's harvest boosted his season total in nine games to 1,265 time rushing leader.

He needs only 410 yards to crack fullback Jim Otis' standard of 2,542 set in 1967-1969. COLZIE, the Bucks' brilliant kick returner, joined in the record-smashing by wiping out Tom Campana's punt return mark of 535 yards in 55 returns in 1971. Campana is from Kent. Colzie ran back four for 102 yards Saturday, giving him 606 yards on 34 returns thus far. Two of his dashes set up Buckeye touchdowns.

Iowa's only consolation was By JACK PATTERSON Beacon Journal Sports Columnist COLUMBUS Tailback Archie Griffin galloped to two all-time Ohio State records and defensive back Neal Colzie set another as the Buckeyes frolicked past winless Iowa 55-13 Saturday to set the Tuneup Franklin Paces Michigan Victory m-i Sxs HMii'tiM'-v-aa i WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. IP) Quarterback Dennis Franklin (of Massillon) scored two touchdowns and passed for a third Saturday to pace sluggish Michigan to a 34-9 Big Ten victory over Purdue. The fourth-ranked Wolverines, who will play No. 1 Ohio State for the Big Ten title next Saturday, ran their season record to 10-0 and their conference mark to 7-0. Asked if a performance like Saturday's could subdue the top-ranked Buckeyes, Michigan Coach Bo Schembechler roared, "Today's performance doesn't have a damn thing to do with it.

It's all how we play next week." The winner of next week's game will be the Big Ten champion and represent the conference in the Rose Bowl Jan. 1. Michigan got past the Purdue 40 only once in the first half, scoring with 2:12 remaining on a 41-yard pass from Franklin to wingback Clint Haslerig, who wrestled the ball away from defensive back Fred Cooper and fell into the end zone. Purdue, refusing to wilt, came right back as Steve Schmidt kicked a 27-yard OHIO STATE fullback Bruce Elia appears to be practicing his karate kicking while trying to break loose from Iowa defender Dan LaFleur. Elia achieved his goal by going into the end zone on this play for Ohio's first touchdown Saturday in Columbus in a game that turned into a 55-13 Buckeye romp.

But the Hawks got both against a mixture of second and third string Bucks as coach Woody Hayes pulled his No. 1 defense with 2:30 to go in the third period. Until the first unit departed, Iowa managed to get into Ohio territory only once to the Buckeye 38 in the final minute of the first half.

The victory was Ohio's ninth without loss. Michigan will carry a 10-0 log into Saturday's battle for a berth in the Rose Bowl. Michigan beat 1 Purdue 34-9 Saturday. Ohio fullback Bruce Elia led the touchdown assault with four against the Hawk-eyes, now 0-10. But his bursts were short ones.

Griffin and Colzie set the stage with their dazzling runs. Hayes praised Griffin and Colzie but was unhappy with the second unit which allowed Iowa's scores. "It isn't right for them to do that," he said, "after the No. 1 defense has compiled such a great record. It makes the first unit look bad in the statistics.

I had a notion to make the second unit dress in a back room." WOODY also revealed Grif-: fin might not have broken his own single game rushing mark except for reserve tailback Elmer Lippert. "Arch was still about 35 yards short of the record when I first decided to take him out to avoid the risk of injury," Haye'S explained. "But when I told Elmer to replace him, Elmer pleaded for me to leave Arch in. He talked me into- it. "Are we ready for that team up north (Michigan)?" he asked.

"Not yet. But you come and see us Saturday. You'll know then." Buck fans shuddered when Ohio quarterback Cornelius Greene limped off the field late in the third period. But Hayes said Greene, while suffering a painful leg bruise below the knee, would be ready for the Wolverines. Ohio, the nation's No.

1 ranked team, completely controlled the action Saturday, rolling to a 27-0 halftime lead which might have been larger had not 'Greene surrendered the ball on a fumble at the Hawkeye 19 in the second quarter. Greene botched another scoring chance in the third period by losing the ball on a bobble at the Iowa 10. But with Griffin and Colzie rambling all over the field, Greene's' misdeeds almost turned out to be acts of charily- Tim Fox, the Ohio corner-back from Canton Glenwood High, gave Ohio an easy touchdown after the Bucks' first scoring chance ended in a missed field goal of 39 yards by Blair Conway on Ohio's first possession. Iowa tried to punt from its 25 after three short gains from the 20 and Fox, who plays tackle on the return team, broke through to block Joe Heppner's punt. Defensive end Larry Kain re- 1 x.

The Zips, who ended with a 6-5 record, could have made it a lot worse drubbing. But head coach Jim Dennison pulled quarterback Eric Schoch, split end Mac Thomas and other regulars as early as the third quarter.

Schoch and Thomas, both seniors, were precision instruments in their final game, teaming for Akron's first touchdown on a perfectly executed 16-yard pass play and combining four times overall for 73 yards. Schoch hit five of seven for 102 yards, added 39 rushing in six attempts and fixed the school's total offense record, which he already held, at yards. Halfbacks Billy Mills and Barry Eisom were exciting, too, Mills running 17 times for 98 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown burst, and Eisom carrying the ball 15 times for 71 yards and a pair of two-yard touchdown runs. CO-CAPTAIN John Maher, the Zip fullback, blasted one yard for a touchdown, picked up two yards in one other carry and finished his college career without ever being thrown for a loss. Freshman defensive back Bruce Flossie added the final touchdown with a 54-yard punt return, and three of the Zips shared in the extra points Brian Ellis kicking two, freshman Mark Steinker-chner three and sophomore Tom Case one.

The Zips covered the distance in eight plays with Schoch throwing a pass to Thomas in the left corner of the end zone for the more quarterback Greg Ko-kal. Herbie Page also got into the act by tying Gordon Ober for most field goals in a season (1970) with eight. In hiking its record to 8-2, the Flashes equalled the most wins in Kent history.

ID -Balding veteran Miller Barber turned back the bid of rookie Ben Crenshaw with some conservative golf play to win the World Open Saturday and its record first prize of $100,000.. The 42-year-old Barber moved past faltering Tom Watson, who had led through the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds, with a two-under-par 69 and cinched the title when the challenging Crenshaw drove into the woods on the 16th hole.

A Glass Bowl assemblage of 12,021 sat in awe as the Flashes set two school records and tied two others.
