Now, Michigan State Coach Duffy Daugherty has two punters-one left-footed and one of the more popular right-footed variety, sim- ply to improve the odds of proper out-of-bounds placement of those infrequent Spartan punts. Duffy's "kicking team" is a re- sult of recent NCAA rule changes which alter considerably the com- monplace fourth-down kicking sit- uation. Where offensive linemen were previously allowed to start down- field at the instant the ball was hiked, generally to effectively thwart any plans by the opposi- tion to move it more than a few grudging yards, they must now hesitate an extra moment until the ball has been kicked. The idea is to increase the number of runbacks, but Daugh- erty, along with several other prominent coaches, is afraid the rule change will do far more harm than good. The increased pressure on line- men to stop the ball carrier will only cause a rise in injuries, or so says the Spartan mentor, and his pair of punters is dedicated to eliminate runbacks entirely by kicking the ball out of bounds as far downfield as possible. The diagonal downfield punt was a specialty of ex-Wolverine RECURRING KNEE TR( Detwiler Put on waivers Stan Kemp, now with the Green Bay Packers.

Now through Sept. 8S I Special To The Daily WESTMINSTER, Md. - Jim (Diesel) De t wi1e r, Michigan's steamrolling halfback for the last three years, has been placed on waivers by the Baltimore Colts of the National Football League. Colt officials reported that Det- wiler's recurrent knee injury, which he first suffered in the North Carolina game of 1965, had slowed him down in practice. Detwiler was the Big Ten's lead- ing touchdown scorer with a total of 10 last year. The Colts drafted him in the second round of the pro draft, af- ter picking Michigan's Rick Volk and Michigan State's Bubba Smith in the first round. The ,Colt spokesman said that cartilege had been removed from Detwiler's knee after last season but that more surgery may be necessary to rebuild the knee. Detwiler sat out the 1965 season after the injury but regained his sophomore stature of Rose Bowl fame last season. fine kicking game established by Kemp. Garvie Craw, a top challenger for one of the two starting half- back spots, is also a top-rate punt- er. His soaring kicks should give linemen plenty of time to cover the return. There is a drawback, however, in that very high punts sacrifice distance, and tackle Pete Dre- mann is expected to fill this gap with his longer kicks..I What might well develop is a Michigan counterpart to Daugher- ty's two-man kicking teams, al- though the approach will be quite different. The emphasis will not be on precise placement of the ball to eliminate returns, but on giving teammates adequate time to stop the runback. The possible added advantage of intimidating opponents' backs can mean a lot in late stages of close games. This psychological edge can easily counterbalance the yard- age guaranteed by the Spartan system. * * R Sleep-In Staged at IM: Seniors Shiver 4 d JIM DETWILER 1W BOOKS d SUPPLIES MEDICINE / DENTISTRY Micki 3rd in World Special To The Daily TOKYO - Micki King, a '67 Michigan graduate and a top pro- tege of Wolverine coach Dick Kim- ball, placed third in the World University Games tower competi- tion here on Wednesday. A previous winner of two Na- tional AAU women's diving cham- pionships, Micki reached her latest plateau by compiling 486.90 points. By ROB SALTZSTEIN The line began forming around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday night and by 8 p.m. the front steps of the IM building were dotted with sleeping bags and beer cans. Radios blared, the Tigers blew one to the Angels. "I love you Doc Losh streamer bristeled over- head and a pizza delivery boy scuttled about selling the hottest coffee he could brew. All the com- motion was caused by seniors wait- ,ing in line overnight to collect 50- yard line seats for the coming season. The view from the 50-yard line must be a fantastic one and worth the risk of catching pneumonia, for it was insanely cold for wait- ing in line. Thegmercury was at a peak of 45 degrees before midnight and dropped down to below 35 just be- fore dawn. Cold Goulet As one shivering senior put it, "Last year on a clear day you could see the 50-yard line from the end zone. This year I want to sit on the 50 and get a clear view of everything for a change." John Harper, who was first in line this year, said it was worth waiting in line because of the prestige that would result from a 50-yard line seat. When asked whether it really made any dif- ference to him if he sat on the 48 instead of the 50, he replied, "It depends who sits on the 50." Sue Conwell, '68, said "It was a point of' honor to obtain a 50- yard line seat." She added that she was going through the incon- venience of waiting in line, "So that I can be collegiate in my last year." Ken Zuckerman, '68, an early arrival, said he was waiting in line mainly because, "Michigan Stadium has the largest corners in the world and I don't want to sit in them anymore." Death Wish Fred Kellner, '68, said that his goal someday "is to be buried on the 50." When asked the precise difference to him between sitting on the 50 and sitting on the 48, Kellner smirked, "Two yards." The difference between stand- ing in line for registration and; for football tickets was defined by Steve Fogel, '69. "There is no reward waiting for you after; standing in line for registration. After all, everyone goes to class; and the prospect of actually get- ting into one is hardly thrilling." Someone then asked Fogel why he possessed senior tickets as a' Junior and he replied, "My mother has been a grad student here for a long time." Three figures guzzling beer from+ pop-top cans took time out to burp their incoherence, but Mark, Cohen, '68, was the epitome of sound logic. "I was brought up very frugally, and student football tickets are very cheap.+ "Now good cheap tickets are better than poor cheap tickets and, that's why I am in line."

Hor- ton, a former SGC member who once co-authored a plan that eliminated standing in line for tickets at Hill Auditorium, said, "At a university as mature as this it is appalling that we must go through this freak show every year. What is needed is a lottery." Communal Living By 3 p.m. more than 150 people stretched in a line of sleeping bags and makeshift tents more than half way 'to State Street. By 7p.m. the line had queued around the corner and up to the steps of Yost Fieldhouse. When the IM doors opened shortly after eight, it was like a cattle drive. After waiting in line since midnight I escaped with tickets around the 42-yard line. On leaving the IM building around 9 p.m. the line still stretch- ed endlessly towards the rear and snaked around State Street. Where the freshmen and sophomores will end up is hard to pinpoint but best guess is that the end zone "Block M" will have plenty of cus- tomers to entertain the seniors and juniors. In such a situation freshmen can receive some consolation from the somewhat infamous advice al- ways given to first year stu- dents...
