(AP) Vlade Janakievski kicked three field goals and his teammates added five touchdowns Saturday as Ohio State rolled over Illinois, 44-7. The win kept the Buckeyes tied with Michigan in the Big Ten title chase with 6-0 records and helped set up the classic football showdown between the two teams on Nov. 17.

Ohio State meets Iowa at home next, week and U-M travels to Purdue before the big one. The Buckeyes took a 17-0 halftime lead Saturday and moved the ball virtually at will against the Illinois defense in the second half. The victory gave OSU a season record of 8-0, and dropped the Illini to 1-7-1. Janakievski's field goals came on kicks of 51, 47 and 36 See BUCKEYES, Page 8F coach Bo Schembechler. "We're pleased, but we have to realize the next couple of weeks are going to be sticklers.

The four and five-yard gains are going to be important. "We don't want to be in the position of looking for the big play all the time. If we run from the line of scrimmage and look for the big play, we won't get the four or five yarders." WANGLER GOT the start at quarterback because B. J. Dickey was still suffering from a shoulder injury.

On its first posession, Wangler moved U-M into position for Virgil's 27-yard field goal, which snapped a string of five straight misses.

BUTCH WOOLFOLK brought the crowd to its feet with touchdown runs of 30 and 92 yards and John Wangler completed 10 of 13 passes for 219 yards, including a 71 -yard TD pass to Doug Marsh. Bryan Virgil even managed to kick a 27-yard field goal. It was not exactly what you would have seen here a few years ago.

U-M had two players wearing No. 15 on the field it the time and the crowd of 1 04,952 was headed for the exits. There was no need for any last-play heroics this week as the lOth-ranked Wolverines embarrassed the Wisconsin Badgers, 54-0. It was like old times here Saturday, but this one was anything but dull and boring.

Sure, the game was in the bag by halftime, but the Wolverines Butch Woolfolk's 92-yard touchdown run was the longest in University of Michigan history. Jim Ilaivliins Rogie of old gives Wings 2-0 shutout dd i Its By BILL McGRAW Free Press Sports Writer Red Wing goalie Rogie Vachon, making his first appearance at Olympia this season after last year's winter-long nightmare, blocked all of the Chicago Black Hawks' 25 shots Saturday night and gave the Wings their first win in four games, 2-0. Vachon, 34, arrived in Detroit last fall as a free agent with a $1.9 million contract and a 2.86 goals-against average from the year before with Los Angeles. But that average jumped to 3.90 last season. The Wings tumbled in the standings to last place from second the year before; center Dale McCourt was awarded to the Kings as compensation for the signing of Vachon, and the local hockey crowd's mood turned ugly toward the 5-foot-7 net minder.

Quit stalling, Tigers swing blockbuster trade! As long as Jim Campbell is sunning his skull in St. Petersburg and Sparky Anderson is supposedly busy trying to teach Ron LeFlore how tp bunt, I'd like to take this opportunity to personally improve our favorite baseball team. If you're listening out there in San Diego, Ray Kroc, I'll give you LeFlore, with all of his alleged, new-found bunting ability; Aurelio Rodriguez, with his still-glittering gold glove; Champ Summers, with his surprsing 20 home runs; and Dave Rozema, the righthanded enigma, for that right-fielder of yours what's his narne Dave Something Yeah, that's the guy, Dave Winfield. Sure, Winfield is a fine player, Ray baby, but everybody knows you need a centerf ielder and a third baseman and a whole lot more offense. Okay, okay, Ray, if you insist, I'll make sure all of the Tigers take their families out to dinner at McDonald's at least once a week.

Now that's what I call a trade. Furthermore, I guarantee you, with Dave Winfield in rightfield, the Tigers would not finish a fizzling fifth again next year. Hebner is so gootl Unfortunately, I fear, Jim Campbell is once more going to ignore my sage advice and be content to try to bolster his team by trading for journeymen like 32-year-old Richie Hebner. I mean, good grief, if Hebner is so good, how come the anemic, weak-hitting Mets were so glad to give him away -vr NT? YJf I I tvv: 'VI v.

Cooley Cardinals rule PSL, 28-14 By HAL SCHRAM Free Press Sports Writer Codley High pounded Kettering, 28-14, to win the Public School League football title at Wayne State Stadium Saturday and revel in its finest athletic hour in more than a decade.

The Cardinals of coach Ernie Thomas, winning their first PSL football title since 1962, got the big plays from people like Kenny Hughes and Keith McCoy to rack up their eighth victory of the season' against a single overtime loss to Henry Ford. MSU's Clark picks apart 'Cats, 42-7 By CHARLIE VINCENT Free Press Sports Writer EVANSTON, 111. Bryan Clark might not be the quarterback of the future for the Michigan State Spartans, but the job was all his Saturday. And the sophomore son of Lion coach Monte Clark responded by throwing for three touchdowns and running for two more as MSU snapped a five-game losing streak with a 42-7 rout of hapless Northwestern before 20,193 fans in Dyche Stadium. "It's the best results we've gotten from a quarterback this season," Spartan coach Darryl Rogers said later.

"It has to be the best game for Bryan and the best game we've played in a while." Beating Northwestern, though, isn't really much of a feat. The Wildcats have now lost 15 consecutive Big Ten games, have won only three of their last 42 games and under coach Rick Venturi have an overall record of 1-18-1.

Of course, we have all become conditioned to accept and applaud such transactions over the years. We have had no choice.

Think about it. When was the last time the Tigers made a deal that was truly a blockbuster? When was the last time Jim Campbell swapped a front-line star who was still in his prime for a player of similar stature? When was the last time the Tigers traded an athlete who wasn't tainted or tired or short of talent? I'll tell you when: It was April 17, 1960. Batting champion Harvey Kuenn to Cleveland for home run king Rocky Colavito, even up. And that was 20 years ago! These swaps don't turn heads Just look at some of the deals they have made during the past two decades Phil Regan for Dick Tracewskl. Don Demeter for Earl Wilson.

Ron Woods for Tom Tresh. Joe Sparma for Jerry Robertson. Pat Dobson and Dave Campbell for Joe Niekro. Tom Matchick for Dalton Jones. Fred Lasher for Bill Rohr and Russ Nagelson.

Carl Cavanaugh and Mike Fremuth for Tony Taylor. Woodie Fryman for Terry Humphrey and Tom Walker. Willie Horton for Steve Foucault. Tom Veryzer for Charley Spikes. 'J Mike Burns and Frank Harris for Steve Dillard.

George Cappuzzello and John Valle for Jack Bil-lingham. Bob Sykes and Jack Murphy for Jerry Morales and Aurelio Lopez. Sheldon Burnside for Champ Summers. See what I mean? Even that celebrated steal that brought Aurelio Rodriguez, Eddie Brinkman, Joe Coleman and Jim Hannan to Detroit represented little or no risk on the part of the Tigers. After alh the key player in that exchange, the infamous Denny McLain, had worn out his welcome in Detroit and, as it turned out, his arm as well.

Don Wert was nearing the end of the line and Elliott Maddox and Norm McRae were little more than prospects. The same can safely be said of the swap that sent Mickey Lolich, in the twilight of his brilliant career, to the Mets for Rusty Staub, whose demands had become unbearable in New York. If you ask me, it's high time the Tigers stuck their necks out and did something drastic for a change to get the team off its treadmill and headed in the right direction. If you agree, Mr. Campbell, I just happen to have Ray Kroc'i phone number handy.

Hughes, playing with a slight hand fracture, was named only Saturday to the PSL's All-League team. He demonstrated conclusively to a fine crowd of 4,829 fans that he deserved such honors. 'Too Tall' gels decision in riiiff debut With the game less than four minutes old, Hughes grabbed a Kettering punt and sped through a host of would-be tacklers to score on a 60-yard punt return. He booted the extra point and Cooley led, 7-0. But a young Kettering team fought back gamely with two touchdowns of its own to take a 14-7 lead midway through the second period.

THE FIRST Kettering touchdown came with 10:06 left in the second quarter on a 39-yard pass, Tim Thompson to Barrington Powell.
