It stamped the Badgers among the top college football teams in the country. It validated their fast tart. It meant they will play Ohio State next week with a possible, maybe probable, Rose Bowl berth on the line.

And nobody cared just a few minutes after the Badgers beat Michigan, 13-10, to set off the ugliest postgame celebration Camp Randall Stadium has ever seen. The stat of this nationally televised game was the number of fans injured on the field after the game. Nothing else. Gary Moeller, COMMENTARY Michigan's coach, a I walked down the stairs from his locker room to deliver postgame comments, only to find the interview area had been turned into a triage to attend to the injured who were stampeded when the 1 i 1111 BILL BROPHY But victory becomes a somber one By Vic Feuerherd Assistant sports editor For the briefest of moments, the University of Wisconsin football team could enjoy its grandest Saturday afternoon in years. There was the thrill of a 13-10 victory over a Michigan team whose name and tradition may ring louder than its ability this year.

But this was still Michigan. There was the ecstasy of knowing that the victory before a packed house of 77,745 at Camp Randall Stadium means that next week's home showdown with unbeaten Ohio State would have the sort of Big Ten Conference championship and Rose Bowl implications not seen in these parts for a couple of generations. There was the satisfaction in knowing that last week's upset loss at Minnesota was an aberration and not necessarily indicative of what to expect from this team in the final stretch of the conference season. Then there was tragedy. There were dozens of student fans crushed in a mob that wanted to celebrate on the Camp Randall turf.

There were players wading into the sea of bodies trying to free the scores of those who were injured in this unexpected avalanche of humanity. All of a sudden, where there had been players playing and coaches coaching, there were ambulances from all over the Madison area carting away those unlucky enough to find themselves at the bottom of this unfortunate, and ugly, pileup. "I've never had a peak and valley like that," said red-eyed offensive tackle Joe Panos, who was credited by fans and teammates alike for his efforts to free those who were trapped in the postgame madness.

11 z'-t 1 UW lines dominate Michigan ByTomOates Assistant sports editor For 25 years, Michigan has been the bully on the Big Ten Conference block. Beating the Wolverines was difficult enough for most Big Ten teams. Physically pushing them around a football field was simply out of the question. Saturday, the University of Wisconsin pushed Michigan and, for once, the Wolverines didn't push back. The Badgers dominated both lines of scrimmage in the first half and took a 13-3 lead, then held on to win, 13-10, at Camp Randall Stadium.

The Badgers noticed that Michigan State and Illinois had roughed up Michigan, and they decided to do the same. "When people beat them, they overpowered them," said UW line- Please turn to 9D, Col. 3 wotverhies 20 31-111 241 0 21-J1-J 2-51 1-1 4-59 26:5 Badgers 24 41-125 HI le lf-22-O 4-37 2-0 2-13 33417 I i.

While Alvarez reflected on the Badgers' first victory over Michigan since 1981, his team doctors and trainers were being summoned back to the field to help paramedics attend to 69 injured fans.

"We were in the locker room celebrating when (UW captain Joe) Panos and (Cory) Raymer came in, screaming that they needed help on the field," said James Keane, the UW team physican. "They had tears in their eyes. That's a scary sight when you see big guys like that upset and crying." When Keane got to the field to help, there was an even scarier sight as four ambulances were at the bowl end of the stadium where Terrell Fletcher had scored a touchdown a couple hours before. "The game is insignificant," said UW athletic director Pat Richter, standing amid the injured. "This makes you sick.

You stand here and see what happened and you can't comprehend it. You can't, in your wildest speculation, think something like this could happen." It left striking scenes. I won't remember Rick Schnetzky's two field goals as much as the UW student whose leg was crushed by a chain-link fence and fell, her leg broken, at my feet. I'll remember the sight of an ambulance trying to wade through the celebrating fans on the field as public address announcer Jack Rane urgently asked the fans to move so paramedics could attend to a breathless, pulseless person in Section O. I'll remember the efficiency of the paramedics, security people and UW staff who attended to the injured and I'll recall the numbed expressions of UW officials as the medics worked.

UW officials had given the warnings to students, had a plan for security precautions for the sellout crowd and then saw it fail, tragically. "It was scary," Richter said. "You're talking 70 rows of people moving forward. When you've got that kind of momentum coming from the top of the stadium, there's no amount of fences or security that can stop it. It was pent-up emotion and it got out of control." I'll remember Mayor Paul Soglin standing in the stadium an hour after the game, talking about how this display compared to other demonstrations.

"I've seen crowds before," he said. "I've got a lot of experience with crowds, even with confrontational crowds. But you don't have to have injury." Asked if he had seen a scene like the one around him, Soglin said what others were thinking: "Only in news footage," he said. "Mostly from soccer games in other countries." And I'll remember thinking that it was a shame for Alvarez and his players that something so good, a victory over Michigan, will be remembered as something so ugly. Wisconsin 13 Michigan 10 Star of the game: UW tailback Brent Moss rushed for 128 yards on 26 carries, the seventh straight game that he has surpassed the 100-yard mark.

Ohio State (8-0, 5-0) also is catching a scent of the national championship, but it will need some help there. As for the Big Ten, the Buckeyes only need to help themselves. If they beat University of Wisconsin who they play at Camp Randall Stadium and Indiana By Ed Sherman Chicago Tribune COLUMBUS, Ohio It didn't seem possible. Not on a day when the weather completely skipped fall and went straight to winter. Not on a day when the snow swirled around Ohio Stadium, turning the field, in the words of one player, into a "pigsty." Spring hardly was in the air.

But it was in the minds of the Ohio State Buckeyes. With spring comes spring flowers. Specifically, roses, the most coveted flower in the Big Ten Conference. So, on a day when 95,060 fans braved frostbite, third-ranked Ohio State started to smell roses after its 24-6 victory over 12th-ranked Penn State. "I'm not going to fight the temptation," Buckeyes guard Jason Winrow said.

"We smell them (roses) out there. That's what's pushing us right now." 5 I 54 171 1 4 I 114 231 0 5 1 135 200 I 7 I 170 150 Badgers salvage tie with Bulldogs hcke one tade Packers stay calm as foes kick themselves Wisconsin. 1 1 .1 1 Minnesota Dltuth he said. Don't be fooled. Jacke works hard, from the hundreds of balls he kicks each week to the thrice-weekly weight-lifting sessions to endless tinkering of his self-taught style.

Jacke is a man who has learned to relax in a job filled with tension. He has also learned not to sweat what he can't control. Which is just about everything. "I've always said that kicking is 90 percent holding and snap," Jacke said. "(Wagner) is doing a great job Please turn to 5D, Col.

5 Bears vs. Packers5D By Andy Baggot Sports reporter DULUTH, Minn. The evening of a 5-5 Badgers tie with Minnesota-Duluth began with Jeff Sauer worried about a son whose football ticket placed him in unexpected peril Saturday. And it looked like it would end with the University of Wisconsin hockey coach concerned about circumstances related to back-to-back Western Collegiate Hockey Association losses.

5 That's about as much as I get into analyzing all that stuff." In the final analysis, it can only be called coaching brilliance. Because Jacke is one kicker who definitely does not need a kick in the pants. But he could use a little work on his batting stance. This much became obvious Wednesday afternoon. While the rest of the Packers were out on the Oneida Street field getting ready for today's game with the Chicago Bears, Jacke and punter Bryan Wagner were in the inside practice facility.

They were playing pepper. Jacke smiled. "You've got to have a relaxed attitude about this," By Kent Youngblood Sports reporter GREEN BAY Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren and special teams guru Nolan Cromwell have a highly complex system for tutoring kicker Chris Jacke. Refined over 22 regular-season games, it is simple and to the extra point. Call it anti-interventionism.

"I don't say anything to him," Cromwell said. "I leave him alone. He's been successful for five years. Why would I mess with that?" A good question. Holmgren? "If he comes and asks me during the game about what he should do," he said, "I say, 'Kick it between the First period Minnesota -Ovkfttt Marlnuccl 5 (Fitzgerald), 1:22.
