BY JOE FALLS Free Press Sports Editor COLUMBUS Ohio State's fabulous football team made Mike Phipps look like a relief pitcher for the old St.

Louis Browns Saturday and crushed Purdue, 42-14, to give Michigan a shot at going to the Rose Bowl. In streaking to their 22nd straight victory, the Buckeyes intercepted five of Phipps' passes, recovered one of his fumbles and destroyed the young man's hopes of winning the Heisman Trophy. So now all the Wolverines have to do is think of some way of stopping these battering Buckeyes when they show up in Ann Arbor next Saturday. They might try dynamite or maybe cyclamate or maybe they might borrow isome of those Los 'Wolverines can beat anybody in the country'- Story on Page 5C. BY CURT SYLVESTER Free Prest Sports Writer IOWA CITY It was freezing cold in Iowa Stadium Saturday afternoon so the Michigan Wolverines ran to sunshine, Rose Bowl style.

Sophomore tailback Billy Taylor broke off two more of his long, stunning touchdown runs and the Wolverines established three Big Ten football offense records in a 51-6 trouncing of the Iowa Hawkeyes. But, what really happened was that Michigan took command of the race for the Rose Bowl. THE WOLVERINES even set themselves up for a shot at the Big Ten title next Saturday when they take on top-ranked, undefeated Ohio State. Michigan now has a 5-1 record in the Big Ten, second only to the Buckeyes who are 6-0 but ineligible for the bowl after their impressive 42-14 win over Purdue Saturday. Furdue, the only other contender for the Rose Bowl Invitation, now has a 4-2 record and consequently has to be considered the longshot in the battle for the Pasadena invitation.

Iowa was supposed to be a serious challenge to the Wolverines, but the Michigan offensive machine simply overpowered the Hawks. The defense shut out Iowa until the last 22 seconds of the game. Taylor finished the game with 225 yards in 21 carries, including touchdown runs of 33 and 71 yards in the second quarter. PURDUE OHIO ST. Angeles Rams.

No one seems capable of even slowing up this scarlet scourge of Woody Hayes not even Woody Hayes himself. THE BUCKEYES were so powerful and precise on this cold, gray afternoon that not even their old. gray-haired coach could keep up with them. Rex Kern, the gifted Ohio State quarterback, was running his plays so swiftly at times that Hayes couldn't' send in his own calls from the sidelines. Kern, put on a brilliant display before the nation's TV audience and helped his own chances for winding the- Heisman Trophy, awarded to the best football player in the land.

The flamboyant redhead scored once, passed for two more touchdowns and directed Ohio State's potent offense to a record-shattering point total. The Bucks have now scored 371 points this season, breaking their old mark of 337 set in 1942. THE VICTORY kept Ohio State atop the national rankings and enabled Michigan by virtue of its victory at Iowa to take over second place in the Big Ten race. The Wolverines now have a 5-1 mark, compared to Purdue's 4-2 but, of course, now it's Bo Schembechler's turn to look down the barrel of this Ohio State cannon. This was supposed to be one of the big games of the year, matching Phipps' talented throwing arm against the all-around power of Ohio State.

The cops should have stopped it at halftime. It was no contest by then, with Ohio State rolling up a 28-7 margin and Old Woody so sure of victory that he even condescended to put on Taylor's partner at the tailback position Glenn Doughty contributed 100 yards in the second half and Don Moor-head had 80 as the Wolverines piled up a record 524 yards rushing, 673 yards total offense and 34 first downs. The Wolverines, possibly giving Ohio State something to worry about in next weekend's game, put both Taylor and Doughty in the same backfield for several plays in the third quarter the first time all season the outstanding runners had run from scrimmage in the same back-field all season. MOORIIEAD SCORED the first U-M touchdown on a one-yard run and Taylor broke the game open with his two touchdowns. Moorhead threw 26 yards to Jim Mandich for another, fullback Garvie Craw got one on a one-yard run and reserve quarterback Jim Betts completed the festival by scoring twice on runs of six yards each.

Tim Killian added a 27-yard field goal. There was no doubt of who would win the game after the opening minutes of play.

"It was another classic example of beating ourselves," signed coach Duffy Daugher-ty. "We gave them the opportunities for both their scores with fumbles." The Spartans may have been bad at the start, but they were miserable at the finish.

Minnesota was perhaps even more inept, but what the Gophers could do was capitalize on their breaks. THE GAME broke open with all the scoring in the last 16 minutes after three periods of excitement excelled only by watching haircuts in downtown East Lansing. The featured performers were punters Pat Miller of MSU and Minnesota's Walt Bowser, who traded boots, 23 of them, three of which figured in the scoring.

In a i b-rocking contest which saw eight CMU players leave the field with assorted injuries Wayne pushed the favored Chips to the hilt before 600 frozen fans at the new Tartar stadium.

Central, eying a bid to the Pecan Bowl Dec. 31, went into the game a thrw-touchdown favorite but gained its advantage only through a blocked punt and recovery of four Wayne fumbles. In total yardage there was little to choose. Central picked up 398 yards to 379 for Wayne, but the Tartars beat Turn to Page 2C, Column 1 The Wings had taken a 2-1 lead earlier in the third period when Nick Libett scored for Detroit. But just over a minute later, Poul Popiel was penalized and the North Stars tied it up.

Both teams scored in the first period, Gordie Howe tallying for Detroit and Billy Collins for Minnesota. THE GAME marked the halfway point of Detroit's nix-game trip while the ice show is at Olympla and the Wings were soundly beaten at the first two stops, New York and Boston. But they didn't have Alex Delvecchio for those games. The 37-year-old club captain sat home in Detroit with a badly bruised right shoulder. Although not 100 percent recovered, Delvecchio return- Moore suffered a badlv bruised right shoulder and nght knee when he crashed to the floor in the second period while Walker went out with a charley horse late in the game.

Walker scored 28 points for individual honors. In winning only their sixth g.ime against nine defeats, the Pistons twice saw leads in the second half disappear to a single point with one minute to go when Oscar Robertson stole the ball and went in for a layup to make it 103-102. Then a free throw by Walt Bellamy and another by Dave MSU's Don Highsmitll steps high for 10-yard gain.
