The second half was a onesided story. Michigan marched Statistic our offense a little confidence. Our offense sort of saved our defense tori ay." Michigan now must guard against a letdown against Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa as it walks a perilous Big Ten path toward a hoped for championship showdown in the final game at Ohio Slate. Michigan State (14) must win all its remaining games just to have a winning season.

"We weren't too sharp at the start of the season, but we're getting better every game," Don Moorhead said. "That's the By JIM DcLANI) Siwrts Editor ANN ARBOR Bo Sclicm-bcchler has found the switch to turn on Michigan's ofiense. Tho Wolverines demonstrated that fact "convincingly here Saturday as they rolled to a 34-20 victory over arch-rival Michigan State before a thrttog of 103,580 the third largest gathering in college football history. 1 "I think we finally have, people where we want to play them," Bo beamed broadly of his revamped backfield, and few of the 103,580 could disagree after seeing the undefeated Wolverines stamp out their fifth straight victory with the biggest scoring punch a Michigan team has tossed at MSU since 1947, when the East Lansing school was still MSG. The "switch" actually was several switches.

At the start of the season, Bo had Bill Taylor at fullback, Glenn Doughty at tailback and Bill Berutti at wingback in the Wolverines' I-formution lineup. It looked great on paper, since Taylor and Doughty together had gained more than 1,500 yarls rushing from the tailback position in 1969, but it just didn't work. that picked up just a couple yards more than Michigan needed lor first down, and most, of them went to split end Paul Staroba. "Their defensive backs gave us a lot of cushion," Mooihead said, "and Staroba runs his pass cuts real well. I got the ball there and our guys caught it, that's all." It wasn't all Michigan, of course.

The running of Fric Allen and the kicking of Borys Slilapak propelled the visiting Spartans to leads of 7 0, 10 7 and 13 7 before Michgan tied it up at the end of a first half that was far Taylor ran for H9 yards and, three touchdowns in at- i tempts.

Most of the passes were those demoralizing third-down goodies more of an offensive show than anyone had imagined. "Isn't that always the way it Scheinberliler said. "The only tiling thai upset me was when we had that touchdown nullified by an illegal procedure penally and then missed the'try for a field feoal.

1 Cleveland 3 2 0 .600 131 130 By JOHN AND EN IIEEDE Staff Sports Writer ANN ARBOR Michigan State's ofiense perked up, but coach Duffy Daughterty's decimated defense was no match for the mighty Michigan offense quarterbacked by Don Moorhead. The Spartans battled to a 13-13 halftime tie with the sixth-rated Wolverines before yielding to injuries, Moorhead's big third down plays the slashing running of tailback Bill Taylor in a 34-20 Big Ten setback. "In the first half we played about as well as we're capable of playing," whispered an obviously distraught Daughterly after keeping the sportswriters waiting for more than 20 minutes after the game, "but we weren't the same ballclub in the second half. Seven of the first string didn't play much of the second half. "We needed everybody to have a chance? to win the ballgame.

If Bo (Schembechler) would have had the players injured that we did they would have been in trouble in the second half. Spartans forced to the sidelines were Brad McLee with a pulled hamstring; Harold Phillips, Jay Breslin and Joe De Lamlelleure with, ankle injuries; Tom Barnum and Doug Halliday with shoulder problems and Cal Fox with a slight concussion. "The third quarter really killed us," continued Duffy We were really battered." Michigan scored touchdowns the first three times it had the ball in the second half on drives of 74, 60 and 61 yards. Moorhead completed five of six passes for 69 yards during the three4 series, including an eight-yard TD pass to fullback Fritz Seyferth, who slipped out of the backfield unnoticed and scored easily. Daugherty did find some comfort in an MSU offense which got rolling after being blanked 29-0 by No.

1 ranked Ohio State and No. 3 rated Notre Dame in the previous two weeks. The most points allowed by the unbeaten Wolverines in four previous games were 10 against Texas A -M. "We made our 20 points and missed out on another touchdown down in there on a good defensive team," explained Duffy. "We didn't get them the easy way.

We executed our game plan real well. We planned to run right at Michigan." The Spartans scored the first three times they had the ball on Eric Allen's 42-yard run and on field goals of 25 and 46 yards by soccer-style kicker Borys Shla-pak. Allen, a shifty 161-pound junior tailback, gained 108 yards in State's first two series ant finished as the game's leading rusher with 156 yards in 23 umtiu.1 unnoniiiino HoilKtnn 5 3 (i 40O 72 71 terbacks shot the Hawks out of Pittsburgh 2 3 0 .400 57 63 1 4 0 .200 93 136 Wt Dirisoii sole possession of third place 4 9 4 Denver 4 1 0 800 114 81 Kansas City 3 2 0 .600 117 10 Oakland 1 2 1 .333 96 101 San Diego 1 3 1 91 109 here Saturday.

Ohio Slate's triumph over Minnesota before a packed Buckeye Stadium record crowd of 86,667 was mainly a two-man show by fullback John Brock-ington and quarterback Rex Kern. Brockington rambled 62 yards for one touchdown and smashed one yard for another in ramming 187 yards through the Gophers. Kern also scored twice in leaving Minnesota with a 1-1 record, scampering across on TD runs of 10 and 8 yards in piling up 5-0.

"That first quarter (21-0) was as fine as we've looked," coach Woody Hayes declared. "It was our best running game. I hate to admit it, but I think we got tired after that." Nationally sixth-ranked Michigan, held to a 13-13 tie by archrival Michigan State, broke loose Adamle, with a total of 176 rushing yards on 32 carries, sprinting 43 yards for another Wildcat touchdown in the final TV CHICAGO (AP) -Top ranked Ohio State and undefeated Michigan still are steam-rollering ahead, but surprising Northwestern could make a three-team battle out of the Big Ten football title chase.
