DETROIT FREE FRESS Sunday, Nov. 9, 'S9 Ws Final TD 'Out of Old Elliott Mold BY CURT SYLVESTER FrM PrtH peril Writer CHAMPAIGN, 111. t- The Michigan Wolverines scored eight touchdowns Saturday and the final one wasn't really very important except to one man. Bruce Elliott. Elliott, a sophomore, is the son of former Illinois head coach Pete Elliott and a graduate of Champaign Central High SchooL IT WAS HE who scored the eighth touchdown on a 40-yard return of an intercepted Illinois pass with just 39 seconds to play in the game.

Michigan coach Bo Schembechler was generally subdued over all aspects of the Wolverines' 57-0 win, except when it came to Elliott's accomplishment. "He's a great kid and a good little football Schembechler said enthusiastically. "He's out of the old Elliott jnold quality. "Our kids were more tickled about that than anything," Schembechler said. "Our coach in the pressbox (Jerry Hanlon) said if Illinois threw once more out there, Bruce was gonna intercept it and he did." Elliott, playing at a defensive backfield position he has manned at regular intervals this season, picked off a Gary Lange pass, started down the sideline, then cut across the field, picked up a block from Barry Pierson and fell into the end zone before being knocked out of bounds.

ELLIOTT WORE an ear-to-ear grin after the game which had been witnessed by his father Pete, his uncle Bump Elliott, his mother and younger brother. "I'd thought about it," he grinned. "I was dreaming about it that it would be something nice to do. "I'm really just thrilled. I was laying on my back in the end zone after scoring, tired and out of breath and I couldn't believe it.

I didn't know what to do." Then he started toward the shower room. As he got to the doorway he met someone coming the other way. Elliott looked back at a cluster of reporters and pointed at the approaching athlete. "That's Barry," he said. "He gave me the block." What was it Schembechler said "out of the old Elliott mold quality." Bo knows his athletes very well.

'Purdue Has Chance Against Bucks'-Duffy BY JACK SAYLOR Free Prett Sporti Writer WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. The Rose Bowl nominee, Heis-nran Trophy and Duffy Daugh-erty's indigestion could all be settled next Saturday. Purdue's Mike Phipps, who directed the Boilermakers' 41-J 13 rout of Michigan State here, i will square off against Buck-f eye magician, another ranking Heisman Trophy candidate. Purdue's Jack Mollenkopf scarcely had time to savor his team's seventh victory before 1 fretting about Ohio. "THEY GOT 62 points against Wisconsin," he said.

"We couldn't score that many i points if we left our first team 1 in all the way. I just hope we can make a good game of it." But Daugherty, for one, thinks Purdue has a real chance against the nation's Jfo. 1 tern. "Any tem which can put the ball in the air as successfully as Purdue has to have a irhance against Ohio State," Duffy said. "Purdue doesn't have the speed of Ohio and may have trouble keeping them from controlling the ball, but Ohio State hasn't played against a passer as tough as Phipps." FOR ins own part, Daugherty envisions the end of the season's "dark ages" with windup games against fellow also-rans Minnesota and Northwestern.

"Maybe we've reached the depths and are on our way back," said, his eyes twinkling despite the lopsided defeat. "It may be small consolation, but we did dominate the second half. It was gratifying that our team didn't roll over and play dead when it got behind, 31-0." DAUGHERTY noted that State will have to go the rest of the way with Dan Werner quarterbacking. Flanker Bill Triplet will the back-up) since Piro's knee injury will sideline him for the season. Werner nearly broke the Big Ten passing record with 314 yards in his first varsity game.

"For his first college game, he hung In there real good," Duffy praised. THE MSU coach joined the line of Mike Phipps' boosters after watching the 64oot-Z senior pick his secondary to pieces. "He is a talented quarterback and is a real worthy candidate for the Heisman trophy," Daugherty said. "That's the way he's been for three years," Mollenkopf said of his star passer who now is only 18 shy of the mark for'his career, "STATE'S PASS defense was vulnerable most of the time and Mike really cut 'em up," added the jovial Purdue coach. "He was getting good pass protection and it gave us the opportunity to exploit the opening.

"We had a good day both way-offense and defense," he said. "When you get that many points, you must be playing good football. "I WAS A little worried. When you have to play Ohio State you could be caught looking ahead, but the boy3 had nine concentration and realized they had to win this one first." Try a9 he might, Mollenkopf couldn't keep from thinking about Ohio. "I like Ohio," he said, "I'm from there, you know, but I wish Ohio State was coming here next Saturday.

This is the third time dn a row we've had 'to play there." Three times and out? MSU, Purdue Statistics AP Photo Michigan State tacklers hang on, but they can't stop Purdue's Stan Brown from lunging over for a touchdown Boilermakers Scald Spartans, 41-13 Davis Paces USC Victory LOS ANGELES (UPD Workhorse halfback Clarence Davis ran for 196 yards Saturday to become the 10th man in Pacific 8 history to gain more than 1,000 yards rushing in a season as fifth-rated University of Southern California scored a 28-7 victory over Washington State. Needing but 42 varrls tr a four-yard run to make it 21-0 before MSU even threatened. WITH PIRO gone, followed by fullback Kermit Smith wi'h a broken arm, Werner clicked with Frank Foreman on a 52-yarder before throwing one of this four interceptions to end the threat. Jones then booted a -30-yard field goal and Phipps passed the Boilermakers into position for Brown's second score from Jones closed the Purdue scoring with a 37-yard field goal, making it 41-0 with 10 minutes left before reserve yielded the two MSU touchdowns to Werner's late The victory was 14th straight at home, but unfortunately for the Boilermakers their tussle with Ohio State next Saturday is in Woody's corral, where the Buckeyes are usually O.K. the one, making it 31-0 at half-time.

With a huge lead, the Boilermakers got sloppy in the third period, probably costing Phipps the Big Ten passing record which Werner narrowly missed, too. Purdue did pick up another touchdown which Randy Cooper scored from the two after an interference call against Clifton Hardy on a long Phipps pass. Purdue took charge from the start on Phipps' whips. He hit Ashley Bell for a 10-yard TD with just 3 :44 elapsed, then set up another less than two minutes later with a 51-yard strike to Brown, who then scored from the two. Phipps hit mln straight at one juncture and was over the 200-yard mark before the second quarter was three minutes old.

The senior from Columbus took in the next TD himself on MICHIGAN STATI RUSHING reach the milestone, pWest-T Continued from First Sport amassed 292 yards in all to overtake Steve Spurrier and Gary Beban for sixth place on the NCAA all-time totals. IT IS noteworthy that both of those quarterbacks were Heisman Trophy winners. Purdue celebrating its centennial this year and it may go another 100 years before finding another passer like Phipps. He hit his receivers on square-out patterns, hooks, sideline end down the middle. Time and again he found them as alone as Greta Garbo, but it mattered not whether they were covered or uncovered.

Phipps hit 17 of his 29 tries before retiring for the fourth quarter. In Purdue's first-half assault, he passed for one touchdown, set up another which he himself, set up another pair for halfback Stan Brown and a field goal for Jeff Jones. The young, but awesome. Boilermaker offensive unit, which includes five 'sophomores and four juniors, ran up 522 yards, but the running was primarily of nuisance value, as 406 yards came in the air. On.

That's, when the yardage will count." The Wolverine coach would not even mention the dreaded words: Rose Bowl. "No, not al all," he said. "We're goin' after Iowa next week." THE WOLV ERINES were unable to get started fast against Illinois, sputtering in the first quarter and giving up some yardage to tailbock Bob Bess who was running out of the I-formation. From the opening play of the second quarter, when Kil-Han kicked the field goal, however, Michigan was in command. Taylor broke things open with his 84-yard run from scrimmage, He cut to toe right sideline near midfield, stiff-armed a man who tried to knock him out of bounds and then slipped away from another tackier.
