1 KM Film Locked In Cabinet Tempts Gus 1 1 The telephone call was significant One man's success with a radical offensive plan inspired the hope it might halt the tragic slide of another. Twenty years ago they were rival ends in the National Football League Walter Kichefski with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Howard (Red) with the Cleveland Rams. Now, this season as coach of the San Francisco 49ers, Hickey has stunned the NFL with his use of a "Shot Gun" offense and the-fantastic shuttling of three quarterbacks, John Brodie, Bobby Waters and Bill Kilmer. At University of Miami Coach Gustafson's request, Kichefski called Hickey to ask a favor. ill Tt- fd Now If Time To Confer With An All-America End Mira Chats With Understudy vS?

The Tar Heels whs play the U-Miami Oct. 77 in the Orange Bowl, fell on two Maryland fumbles inside the Terp 20-yard lire, setting up their pair of touchdowns in the third period of a game played in I ra'D' Maryland moved for its only 1 score in the same period after recovering a North Carolina fumble.

The Terps converted for two points but were unable to "There it is. It just came," Gustafson said pointing to a cabinet beside his desk. "We'll study and check it thoroughly, but I don't know about its use. When things go bad, like they have for us against Navy and Colorado, the temptation to make drastic changes is strong. But then, I sit back and tell the staff, 'Take it easy.

Let's not make any desperation Miami used a variation of the "Shot Gun" in the final half against Colorado when it tried futilely to wipe out fundamental and strategic mistakes with long passes in the final five minutes. The Spread or Short Punt variation the Hurricanes used however, was strictly a pattern with one objective to give John Bennett time to pass deep to Bill Miller. The "Shot Gun" as Hickey employs it provides for the strong run or pass option and sets up opportunities to run reverses from it. Where Miami, against Colorado, kept two men back to block and provide pass protection for Bennett, the true "Shot Gun" puts the quarterback seven yards deep without a blocker. Mira's The Key score again and avert their first setback in four games.

DROPS BALL TWICE Halfback Gib Carson dropped the ball twice crossing the Maryland goal. Lenny Beck fell on it the first time for six points. A few minutes later, quarterback Ray Farris covered up Carson's bobble for another touchdown.

The triumph was West Virginia's second straight after 18 losses in a row.

Center Joe Craver recovered the first on the Maryland 19 and Beck the other on the 16. End Gary Collins was the big man again for Maryland in the Atlantic Coast Conference game.

He recovered a fumble on the Tar Heel 33, then caught a 28-yard pass. THREE YARDS FOR TD Fullback Bob Burton plunged three yards for the touchdown, and Collings caught a two-point conversion pass from quarterback Dick Novak. The scoreless first half was a frustrating battle of penalties with three pass interceptions on each side. Farris threw a 40-yard pass to Beck for what would have been a Tar Heel touchdown in the second period, but the Tar Heels were caught holding and set back 15 yards. Earlier, North Carolina had marched to the Maryland 13 after halfback Roger Smith's second interception of the half.

Junior Edge tried a field goal from the 20, but it was short. Maryland made only one real threat outside of its touchdown. Sophomore halfback Cliff Melton, son of the former major league baseball pitcher, hit Collins with a 36-yard pass on the Tar Heels 30 in the second quarter.

(AP) Michigan State, powered by a flock of fast backs, took a long stride towards Big Ten and possible national honors by crushing Michigan, 28-0 yesterday before 103,198. Dewey Lincoln and Herm Johnson, both sophmores, and George Saimes, a 183-pound junior fullback, led the attack be hind the poised quarterback-ing of Pete Smith.

Michigan State's fluid and fast defense kept the Spartan goal line uncrossed, holding Michigan for four downs from the state three in the third period. $400,000 GATE This was a battle of football giants both lines averaged around 223 pounds in a game right end for another score. Pitt, which now has lost three in a row after winning its opener, penetrated West Virginia territory only three times. The second time the Panthers scored their touchdown as quarterback Jim Tra-ficant leaped ever the center of the line and into the end zone from one yard out. West Virginia took the opening kickoff and marched 74 yards in 17 plays for a touchdown.

The score, came when Tom Woodeshick ran to the two and fumbled. -The ball bounced into the end zone and end Paul Gray fell on it for the touchdown. that drew a gate of $400,000 and $200,000 for national television rights. Smith insisted on playing although his father died only last Saturday while State was beating Stanford, 31-3. Although passing had not been a Spartan strong point, Smith set up the second touchdown with a toss to Matt Snorton, another sophomore, that was good for 45 yards.

Smith passed for the third touchdown, then set up the Spartans' fourth score with a fourth-down pass that gained 18 yards to Michigan's 17. FUMBLE HELPS Michigan State got an early break when Bennie McRae, who otherwise was the outstanding star in Michigan's backfield, fumbled on the 32. The Spartans pounded the right side of Michigan's line to the two from where Gary Ballman carried over. ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) Favored Navy took advantage of a blocked quick kick and a high pass from Cornell's" center for first half i touchdowns today and rolled to a 31-7 victory before 22,00 chilly fans.

The temptation to give it a whirl during the final five games obviously gnaws at Gustafson. "But if you do something like that there's the danger jour players will get the impression you're playing 'Give Up' football," the 31iar.il coach says. "This is a time I have to steady everybody, including myself.

The wiser thing may be to go back to fundamentals and stress the kind of things we did well against Pitt, Kentucky and Penn State." Gustafson is counting heavily on the rest Mira will get before the Hurricanes next game with North Carolina on Oct. 27 mending completely his rib injury.

"When the doctor gave him the okay, I sent him back in for the second half of the Kentucky game and then used him against Penn State. We probably would have been better off, if I had not allowed him to play at all until the original injury cleared." From then, the Spartans dominated the game except for Michigan's 63-yard drive that started the second half and wound up a scant foot from the State goal line. Michigan also lost a touchdown in the second period when a 23-yard sprint by McRae was called back for backfield in motion. goal broke the tie midway in the second period and Bob Orlosky, listed as a guard on the program, bulled over from the one shortly after a bad pass from center sailed over Dave McKelvey's head. Although McKelvey recovered the ball Cornell gave it up on downs on its own 7.

Navy broke through twice in the fourth period after a scoreless third period. John Sai crashed over from the one at the end of a 83-yard march and quarterback Bob Hecht sneaked over from the one with only 23 seconds to go. Mather, a pine punter, added all four placement points.

And he intercepted a Duke pass at the Blue Devil 23 that set up Tech's second touchdown, in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Stan Gann scored the first on a 6-yard run and halfback Chick Graning got the next one, running four yards after Auer had caught another pass. 32-YARD TD Tech made it a rout by driving 32 yards late in the fourth quarter for a third touchdown after guard Dave Watson recovered a fumble.

The 6-foot 185-pound Eutts from Poughkeepsie, TJ. raced four yards around right end for the game's only touchdown and ran for the conversion at 5:26 of the second quarter. It was the climax of an 85-yard drive, sparked by Butts, quarterback Tom Vasell and halfback Russ Warren.

Auer got his chance to shine when Williamson, leading Tech ground gainer, suffered a sprained ankle just before intermission.

Williamson sat out the second half. After a scoreless first half, Tech actually crossed the Duke goal line five times to get its 21 points. In three successive triumphs before yesterday, Duke had not surrendered a touchdown. Tech now sports a 3-1 record. DUKE STOPPED Auer raced 25 yards for an apparent touchdown after intercepting a pass thrown by Duke quarterback Wal Rappold but an official inadvertently blew his whistle and the ball was returned to the Duke 18.

Graning crossed the goal line on a 37-yard pass play, but Tech was penalized for clipping. Tech scored each time after these setbacks, however. Duke's lonesome end offense offered no problem to Tech. The Yellow Jackets put a defensive blanket on the wide flanker every time Duke sent him out. Guards Hal Ericksen and Watson, tackle Larry Stallings and center Bobby Caldwell led Tech's superb line play that limited Duke to only five first downs.

(AP) First Downs 13 151 Rushing Yardage Gustafson now is even against unit as suggestions Mira be provided with a "vest" to protect against the injury.

"If you recall two seasons ago Johnny Unitas of the Baltimore Colts suffered an injury like this," Gustafson says. "lie was outfitted with a special protective vest which permitted him to play. The doctor who designed and made the vest now is on the staff at Variety Children's Hospital here. He offered to make one for George's use." The Miami coach is hesitant to accept the offer for fear it might in some way alter Mira's natural passing technique. Thank You, But No Thanks "I don't know that it would, but it might lead him to change his style in some way.

I don't want that. You know when Paul Christman, the former Missouri quarterback, was here to telecast the Pitt game he suggested we work with Mira to get him to throw a 'softer' type pass. I appreciated Paul's interest, but I vetoed the idea. I don't want anyone tampering with Mira's passing style. It would be like somebody trying to change Ted William's batting habits when he was at his peak." While Mira will be withheld from all heavy and rough work, Gustafson isn't worried about that affecting his game play.

"He rides 10-miles each day on a bicycle to keep his legs in shape," the Hurricane coach says. The lack of 'hitting' in practice won't bother him. He will not forget how to throw the ball." Gustafson doesn't try to conceal his disappointment with Miami's record of two victories as against three defeats. "Everything we planned and counted on is down the torain," he says. "But if we get healthy and stay healthy we'll make something out of the season yet." QUOTE UNQUOTE: "Colorado frequenlty put an eight man rush on our passer.
