Landry Engineers Lion Triumph Passing Stops S.F., 28 to 7 the Lions and ended the victory string at four. Detroit is now 6-4 and alone in second place in the Central Division of the National Football Conference since Green Bay lost 10-3 to leader Minnesota to drop to third. San Francisco is now 7-2-1 but still holds first in the West Division heading into next week's showdown against second-place Los Angeles. "The guys were really searching for themselves this week," Landry said afterwards in the dressing room. "They wanted to win and yet they said, 'Will it happen "We had an uneasy feeling when we went on the field but it left us right away." Two weeks ago Detroit lost on the final play of the game ia-17 to New Orleans on Tom Dempsey's record 63-yard field goal.

Ijist week they were somewhat down-demoralized after two consecutive waning moment losses. But Sunday they emerged from their introspection to smash the San Francisco 49ers 28-7 in their National Football League clash before 56,000 at Stadium. i s' quarterback Greg Landry tossed three touchdown passes despite gale-like winds and Mel Farr ran for another as part of a 117-yard rushing performance.

The first of Detroit's final four games is Thanksgiving against the Oakland Raiders.

If the Lions win all four and finish 10-4 there is a good chance they can make the NFC playoffs. Tight end Charlie Sanders, who caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from Landry in the second quarter, said later that Landry "told nie he was worried about the guys not being excited about this game." However, they played like they were plenty fired up, recovering an important fumble and intercepting three John Brodie passes. Rookie defensive end Jim Mitchell of the Lions pounced on 49er Doug Cunningham's fumble at the San Francisco 26 yard line on the second play of the gam e. Five plays later Farr smashed over for a two-yard touchdown. Not to be outdone, the Lions offensive unit drove for a score Till: STATE JOURNAL Lansing East Lonsing Michigan Nov.

They couldn't use any type of delay, either, and they knew it.

Long passes just wouldn't go, deep receivers drawing big crowds. That left very little and, thanks to Buckeye middle guard Jim Stillwagon who looked suspiciously like Dick Butkus in disguise nothing would work except occasional short passes. Art Win vermes' normally prolific attack. Michigan couldn't knock a noteworthy hole in the Ohio front all day, which was just the way McCulIough planned it. And, there was much more to the defense than just the great talent of those Buckeyes ho played it.

So well conceived was McCullough's battle plan that it seems to automatically take away some of the Wolverines' The Wolverines have been hit a lot harder than the Buckeyes hit them. Not in years, however, have they been stymied so completely literally to the point of frustration. And McCullough's the man who figured out how to do it. The game, or rather we should say the week leading up to it, made on thing abundantly clear. There is only one real rivalry in the Big Ten, Ohio State-Michigan.

Barney's Interception Halts 49er Bid Off-Season Routine Begins at 31SU Time to Recruit ousewiie Pin Grabs on By BOB IIOERNKR State Journal Sports Editor Football coaches at Michigan State jump into recruiting activities this week, sandwiching these chores between normal end-of-season team functions. In past seasons, the Spartans have held a "family team" banquet reserved for players, coaches, university officials and reporters who cover the team regularly on the Monday night following the final game. This event will not be held this year. Coach Duffy Daugherty has combined the "family" party with the Michigan State Football Bust at the Civic Center on Wednesday, Dec. 2.

Former Green Bay Packer star Willie Davis will be the speaker at the public-invited affair. Tickers are $10 each and can be purchased by contacting assistant athletic director Burt Smith at Jenison Fieldhouse. Members of the squad will hold a couple of elections before the banquet. Honorary co-captains of the 1970 squad, which closed this season by losing to Northwestern, 23-20, for a 4-6 record, will be elected. For the first time this year, the squad chose captains before each game.

The team will also vote for the team's most valuable player, who will receive the Governor of Michigan award. Other awards to be presented are: Ross Trophy, to player who has made the best contribution to the team both athletically and scholasti-cally; Danziger Award, to the player from Detroit who makes the most outstanding contribution to the team; Oil Can Award, to the player who contributes most in a humorous way to the team President's Award, to the player for perseverance in efforts for the football squad; Biggie Munn Award, to player contributing most "extra effort" during the season; Frank Cowing Award, to the outgoing senior team manager; Outstanding Awards to defensive lineman, offensive lineman, defensive back, offensive back and outstanding end. Mel Farr: A Man of Word, D-2 of its own in the second quarter, moving 60 yards in six plays capped by Sanders end zone catch. Farr, Altie Taylor and Landry ran for 13, 11 and 16 yards respectively on key plays in the drive. When the 49ers moved deep into Detroit territory Lem Barney picked off a Brodie aerial on the goal line to end the threat and keep the score 14-0 at halftime.

"We had a few breaks for a change instead of it going the other way," grinned coach Joe Schmidt. "Aggressive wise and hitting wise we played as well as last week and we didn't make the mistakes." Brodie had only thrown four interceptions all season and had completed 145 of 244 passes for 1,977 yards and 17 touchdowns. Sunday he hit on 18 of 25 for 138 yards. "They beat our pants off," Brodie said. They just played a good ballgame." The brisk winds swayed the flagpole and nearly tore pennants off their staffs around the stadium.

Brodie said because of the wind a few passes "looked like they were shot out of an oatmeal gun. But it wasn't that (the wind) that beat us. It was them." "We didn't throw well. We didn't play well." Detroit expanded its lead to 21-0 in the third quarter on a 23-yard pass from Landry to Larry Walton. It came 49 yards and six plays after Dick LeBeau intercepted a Brodie pass.

It marked his 53rd career interception to put him fourth on the NFL all-time list. San Francisco got one touch-d back on a one-yard plunge by Cunningham in the third period after a 56-yard, 10-play drive. But Detroit netted another tally in the fourth quarter when Landry hit wide receiver Earl McCullouch with an 18-yard TD pass. Landry finished with 11 completions in 17 attempts for 111 yards in his second starting role this season. as.

4. 'iHiaitill8- OSU By DAVE MATTHEWS State Journal Sports Writer It was undoubtedly widely reported, after Ohio State's 20-9 trimming of Michigan, that the eminent dean of mayhem, W. W. "Woody" Hayes, had given prize pupil Glenn "Bo" Schembechler a fresh lesson. Don't believe a word of it.

Oh. there was a lesson in the defeat, alright, a lesson in the fine art of defense. But Hayes had nothing to do with it; a fact which he was quick to note afterwards. "All the credit has to go to Lou McCulIough." Hayes said. "He's done just a fantastic job with our defense.

He gets my vote for coach of the year." The latter, of course, can be interpreted as a jab at Schembechler who, after his Wolverines had upset the Buckeyes last season, was elected national coach of the year. The way Hayes figures it, McCulIough (Ohio State's defensive coordinator) beat Schembechler, which entitles him to the glory this time. There is no arguing with Hayes' contention that it was the Ohio defense, which is McCullough's exclusive province, that contributed most to the Buckeye victory. Even Michigan's multitudinous mistakes might not have mattered had the Bucks not so completely controlled the Wol- All Stars Upset by Joliet, 21-B JOLIET, 111. The football season proved one game too long for the Lansing All Stars here Sunday afternoon.

Unbeaten in the last 30 games going into the match with the Joliet Chargers, the All Stars suffered their first defeat since August of 1969, 21-3. "We couldn't do anything on offense at said Lansing coach Turf Kaufmann, "but basically the difference was that they capitalized on our mistakes and we didn't capitalize on theirs." Kaufmann noted that a wind chill index of minus 10 degrees made passing almost impossible, and a lack of speed (regular halfbacks Jim Garrett and Craig Tefft did not play) made it comparatively easy for Joliet to handle the All Stars' normally strong running game. The Stars netted only 46 yards on the ground, Joliet managing 150. Lansing quarterback Bill Feraco did throw for 89 yards despite the cold, whereas Joliet could gain only six through the air. Joliet's scores came on a one-yard first period plunge by fullback Ken Williams, Dan Gotkowski's 73-yard sprint in the Jhird quarter and 74-yard interception return by Pat Owens in the last period.

The latter play typified the way things went for the Stars all day. The pass which Owens raced to paydirt bounced off the instep of Lansing receiver Bob Lange's foot, after eluding his grasp. "It all catches up to you sooner or later," Kaufmann said, "and it did with us Sunday. Everything went wrong. We just made too many mistakes to win." The All Stars had beaten Joliet the week before, in Lansing, by a 31-7 count, for their 16th straight victory of the year.

No other even remotely compares. Admittedly, the intense feeling is somewhat one-sided. Ann Arbor is a bit blase about the whole thing, but Columbus goes absolutely mad. Not just the campus, but the entire city and it's a big city, much larger than any in Michigan outside of Detroit. It seemed like every automobile in Columbus had one or more bumper stickers boosting the Bucks or maligning usually in x-rated terminology Michigan.

Every TV and radio station talked about nothing but the game, and they didn't tell you to watch or hear Ohio State meet Michigan on their wave length, but invited one and all to tune in as Ohio State BEAT Michigan. One disc jockey went so far as to telephone President Nixon for his prediction on the outcome. Mr. Nixon declined, issuing a statement to the effect that he would, "root for the That'll undoubtedly cost him votes in Columbus. Student enthusiasm was well what student enthusiasm used to be at a lot of places even such "cosmopolitan" institutions as Michigan and Michigan State.

Gordie Howe, 42-year-old all-time Detroit super star, was injured after scoring his second goal of the night. While following through on second period backhand shot he got Flyer defenseman Joe Watson's skate toe in the ribs and left the game.

MINOR INJURY Howe will be examined throughly today in Detroit as the team returns, but initial checks Sunday by the Flyer's physician indicated the injury was minor. Detroit had two-goal performances from Howe and linemate Frank Mahovlich with a standout job from net-minder Roy Edwards to end its five-game road series with a 2-2-1 record. It dropped Saturday night's game to Pittsburgh 6-1. The Wings host Vancouver Thursday, move to Toronto Saturday and return to face Montreal in Detroit Sunday.

A 146-average bowler in the Metroettes League at Metro, Mrs.

Hoose had just rolled her way into first place in The State Journal's seventh annual 3-6-9 pin tourney at All Star Lanes Sunday afternoon. And, wow, what a way to roll into first place. Hitting games of 265-233-213 for a 711 actual, and adding a 113 pin handicap, she had a sizzling tally of 824. Not only does that give Mrs. Hoose the highest score ever recorded by a gal kegler, but it boosts her into a 38-pin lead over second-place Dr.

Hoose's score can stand up through the next three weekends of competition is questionable as an 841 won a year ago (by Dave Parks), but she is in great position to collect the $200 bonus that goes to the high female finisher should a male win. If 824 is still on top when the meet comes to an end Dec. 14, she would be the first woman to capture first place. Mrs. Hoose, who won her $5 entry fee back in last year's tourney, bagged nine straight strikes (six of her own) en route to a 265 opener.

She had her only open in the 10th frame. Automatic strikes are given in the third, sixth and ninth games. Dr. Jamieson, who's made much more of a name for himself in tennis, entered the 3-6-9 for the second time, and bettered his '69 tally by nearly 150 pins.
