Moorhead, with fourth-quarter boos still ringing in his ears, took the ball around left end for the winning touchdown. U-M's only other touchdown came on a one-yard dive by fullback Billy Taylor in the second half after the Wolverines In addition, Betts got emergency action at quarterback early in the second quarter and it was he who handed the ball to Taylor for U-M's first touchdown. MOORHEAD had just set up the score by i five yards, completing the run with a dive to the one-yard line, where he was jolted in the head by a trio of Aggie defenders.

Schembechler pulled Betts to the sideline and sent him in. Betts, the No. 2 quarterback last season, took the snap, handed off to Taylor and Michigan had its touchdown. That was the lone bright spot of the game for the Michigan offense, which got a pretty thorough going-over from the aroused Aggie defensers until the fourth quarter. The running game sputtered, passes were misthrown or dropped and It looked like the Wolverines would settle for their first loss of the season.

But it wasn't that way at all. "They wanted to win and they finally said there is only Turn to Page 4C, Column 4 had recovered a dropped punt just eight yards from the Texas goal line. THE AGGIES, operating out of the Samous Wishbone formation made famous at Texas, jumped ahead, 10-0, on a 10-yard run by halfback Steve Burks and a 21-yard field goal by Pat McDermott before the Wolverine defenders shut them off. "Our defense just wouldn't crack that was the story," Michigan coach Bo Schembechler declared proudly. "They kept getting the ball back until we could get the touchdown." Texas finished the game with 15 first downs, 168 yards rushing and 123 yards passing but the Wolverine defenders did what they had to do in the second half.

They kept the Aggies off the scoreboard, just as they had kept Washington off it in Michigan's victory a week earlier. This week, it was defensive tackle Pete Newell who led the defensive charge. He was credited with an incredible 15 solo tackles and it wouldn't have been surprising if he'd had 30 i he was that dominant. Linebacker Marty Huff was involved in 13 tackles and safety Jim Betts helped out in 12. TEXAS MICHIGAN BY CURT SYLVESTER Free Presi Sports Writer ANN ARBOR The University of Michigan had just what it takes for a victory Saturday afternoon a little bit of desperation, a little bit of pride and a whole lot of Fritz Seyferth.

The Wolverines stuck them all together and quarterback Don Moorhead scrambled for a touchdown with just three minutes left and UM took a 14-10 victory over rugged Texas of the Southwest Conference. THE VICTORY, in front of 71,732 fans in Michigan Stadium, preserved the Wolverines' unbeaten record, now 3-0, while the Aggies were dropping to a 2-2 non-conference record. This gang of riled-up Aggies had nothing in common with the group that was routed by Ohio State, 56-13, just a week earlier. Led by sophomore quarterback Lex James, the Aggies had the Wolverines on the ropes for most of the afternoon. It was only the third straight brilliant performance of U-M's defense that kept the Wolverines in the game until the final period.

Hall succeeded Cuellar in the fifth when Turn to Page IOC, Column I BY JIM HAWKINS Free Press Sports Writer MINNEAPOLIS Esthetically, the opening installment of the American League playoffs laid an egg. But then beauty always did lie in the eye of the beholder. And the Baltimore Orioles would be happy to cackle all the way to their second straight World Series date. What was billed as a pitching duel between two of baseball's biggest winners turned out to be a wind-influenced 24-hit slugfest Saturday afternoon as both Baltimore's Mike Cuel-lar and Minnesota's Jim Perry were knocked off the mound early.

BUT CUELLAR socked a grand slam home run before exiting and Baltimore's 40-year-old certified public accountant, Dick Hall, ambled out of the bullpen to silence the Twins, 10-6.

Turn to Page 10C, Column 1 PITTSBURGH (UPI) Pinch-hitter Ty Cline's triple and Pete Rose's single shattered a scoreless tie in the 10th inning and the Cincinnati Reds scored two more runs on Lee May's double to beat Pittsburgh, Saturday in the first game ot the National League playoffs. Gary Nolan, a 22-year-old righthander who never has achieved much success against the Pirates, scattered eight hits but worked out of trouble time after time through the first nine innings to pick up the victory. The best-of-5 series opened under the cloud of the first umpires' strike inmajor league history, but four hand-picked, umpires from the minor leagues worked the game without difficulty.

There were no arguments. CINCINNATI, which was shut out only once during the regular season, got only one runner, as far as third base through the first nine to work the playoffs and $10,000 each for the World Series. The major leaguer offered $3,000 a man for the playoffs and $7,000 for the World Series plus $1,000 for the All-Star game. Cronin said the six American League umpires who refused to work Jim Honochick, Jim Odom, Jerry Neudecker, Bill Haller, Russ Goetz and Marty Springstead accrued salaries, pensions and expenses this season "anywhere from $31,000 to $46,000." Cronin said their base pay ranged from $16,500 to $26,000. John Reynolds the umpires' attorney, said he didn't understand why the minor leaguers would work, harming the cause; why the players would play a game with minor league um pires, and why the leagues would play games of such importance with minor league umpires.
