Junior quarterback Rex Kern eclipsed an Ohio State career yardage record Saturday, leading the top-ranked Buckeyes to their 19th straight football victory, 41-0, over Illinois before a homecoming crowd of 86,576.

Kern passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, earning 224 yards against the winless Illini. That gave the 6-foot 186-pounder 2,579 yards, surpassing the Buckeye record of 2,530 set by former All-America and Heis-man trophy winner Hopalong Cassady. FULLBACK Jim Otis and an aggressive defense that forced 10 punts, four fumbles and a pass interception out of Illinois helped the defending Big Ten Conference champs to their 14th straight league win. Kern called on the 216-pound Otis 31 times for 167 yards and one touchdown as Ohio State won its fifth straight and third in a row this season in the Big Ten. Illinois has yet to win in six games.

The Ohio State defense, earning its second shutout of the season, did not. permit the Illini any closer than the Buckeye 49-yard line and that came late in the final quarter. Kern passed 10 and 15 yards to Jan White for touchdowns and ran four yards for a third score. He hit 12 of 23 aerials for 184 yards and rushed eight times for 40 yards, beating Cas- sady's mark established in 1952-55.

She'd have been better off worrying about the Minnesota Gophers. Taylor, thrust into a starting tailback job just two days ago, hurt Murray VVf-math and his Gophers Saturday more than he has ever hurt himself. THE SOPHOMORE tailback scorerl Michigan's first three touchdowns and ran for 151 yards as he led the Wolverines to a vital 35-9 Big Ten victory over Minnesota before 44,028 fans at Memorial Stadium. The victory moved Michigan's Big Ten record to 24 and kept alive Wolverine hopes for a conference title and a Rose Bowl appearance. Minnesota now has a 0-5-1 record for BY JACK SAYLOR Fret Press Sports Writer IOWA CITY The Rose Bowl pipe-dreams of Michigan State went pow, scrunch, poof here Saturday as the Iowa Hawkeyes went snap, crackle and pop.

The Hawkeyes opened up a late fourth-quarter offensive torrent that brought, them a hair-raising 19-18 victory before 56,471 homecoming day fans in Iowa Stadium. The Spartans' visit to the corn fields turned into a harrowing experience and their second Big Ten defeat; Virtually eliminating them from Rose Bowl contention. IF THE CORN is as high as an ele-phant's eye so were the Hawkeyes. They hadn't won a homecoming game in five years so they were due and they did. The trick (which was no treat for MSU) was turned on a last-ditch march that resulted in a touchdown pass from reserve quarterback 3Iike Cilek to Kerry Reardon, wiping out an 18-13 Mlcliigan State lead.

Alan Schuette, who also contributed two field goals, then banged home the game-winning extra point with just 1:25 remaining. THE SPARTANS, fighting an uphill battle all the way against the passing and scrambling of Hawkeye quarterback Larry Lawrence, had pulled in front early in the fourth period on Bill Trip- lett's 63-yard touchdown strike to Steve Kough. State then ate up a big portion of the remaining time with their best offensive move of the day. But it bogged down with 3 :45 to play and that was more than enough for the Hawkeyes. The Spartan secondary developed severe leakage and Iowa City turned into their Waterloo.

was concerned about the possibility of an injury. He carried the football 31 times a Ron Johnson type exhibition of stamina and ended up with his 151 yards and the Wol. verines' first three touchdowns of the game on jaunts of eight, three and one yard. His final two scoring runs capped Michigan's comeback after a 9-7 halftime deficit and kept the traditional Little Brown Jug in Ann Arbor for another year. Quarterback Don Moorhead, who gained 61 yards running and 92 more by hitting eight of 12 passes, directed the Michigan attack and scored once on a six-yard run.

Reserve halfback Lance Soheffler scored the final Michigan TD on a 10-yard run as the Wolverine sub- stitutes wrapped up the win. Turn to Fage 5C, Column 4 the season and is 0-3 in the conference but to Michigan coach Bo Schembechler the win Saturday meant more than just a victory over a winless team. "Our greatest win of the year," Schembechler proclaimed in the dressing room. "I think that really helped us because we are not in very good shape physically but we came back to win." Schembechler gave Taylor the starting position Thursday because Glenn Doughty had missed practice all week with ankle and thigh injuries. Taylor didn't let him down.

"I FELT THERE was a lot of pressure on me," admitted the soft-spoken Taylor. "I had to do a job. I didn't want anybody to let the team down especially not me." The job he did was indeed a respectable one not bad for a youngster who couldn't even participate in his junior year of high school elegibility because his mother LAWRENCE hit Don Osby for 15 yards, then ran for 13, then passed to Tom Smith for 12 more. He drove the Hawks to the MSU 35, but suffered an injury on one of his scrambling plays and was forced to the sidelines with two minutes left. Cilek Jumped in under the severest pressure.

It was fourth and-three. He calmly tossed over the middle to Ray Manning for a first down at the 28. First crisis passed. Then two plays fizzled and it was third-and-11. Cilek connected with Dave Krull who hooked in front of Clifton Hardy, a 22-yarder to the 6.

Second crisis passed. THE REST was easy. The game was the TV offering for 30 states so Cilek played "Flipper." He flipped a soft one to Reardon in the end zone behind Doug Barr and it was Bonanza for Iowa.

If that's what owner Bruce Norris had in mind when he broomed Bill Gadsby as coach, the pattern spells out a long season.

The Wings did about everything but finish their plays against the New York Rangers and the Rangers, with far fewer opportunities, did what a good club does finished its chances and won the game, 4-1. AFTER DETROIT dominated the first 15 minutes, the Rangers plugged in three goals in four minutes And three seconds and that was the game, one which lifted the Rangers into a second place eastern division tie with Montreal and Detroit. When teh blitz ended the fans Rtarted the "We want Gadsby" chant and that may become a theme song. Then the club was booed as it left the ice at the end of the period. Vic Hadfield, Brad Park and Rod Gilbert were the marksmen in the Ranger burst.

Tulane, with an offensive line outweighed 40 pounds a man by the fighting Irish defensive front wall, was able to get inside Notre Dame's 35-yard line only twice. The first time a drive stalled on the 33, and the second ended on the 15 at the final gun. ALLAN" CRASHED for two one-yard touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters, ending Notre Dame drives of 47 and 78 yards.

DAVE BALON wrapped it up for the Rangers at 12 :25 of the third period and the goal was the result of outhustling Detroit's "Checking Line." But it was defenseman Rob Baun who had the toughest night of all.

Baun was on for three of the Ranger goals and in the penalty box during the other. The Wings started out strong, ramming the Rangers and repeatedly putting together excellent rushes but, just like Thursday in Philadelphia when they had to settle for a tie, they didn't finish the chances. EVEN DEPENDABLE Gor-die Howe missed a perfect setup from Mahovlich during a power play. The Rangers started shooting out the lights at 15:12, just VI seconds after Baun returned from serving the first of two fast penalties. He was trapped and Garry linger, Hadfield's check, was far back In his wake when Hadfield steamed in and popped Jean Ratelle's pass.
