Marlin made good his conversion attempt to put Navy ahead, 900. Then Michigan coach Bumr Elliott put Chandler in the game. Chandler is a senior whose value lies chiefly in hi, passing. He passed well anc spanked the Wolverines 8 yards in eight plays, with the 37-yarc pass to Henderson Gaping the drive. But Navy bounced back and moved 80 yards in nine plays for its final touchdown, Staubach passed Is yards to Gary Kellner, a reserve end, on the so and one the next play hit Henderson on the Michigan 10.
