CITIZENS FOR NEW POLITICS SEC Lives in Shadow of Bear Berline-Mandich Duo Top Offensive Ends By ELLIOTT BERRY As painful as it is, for much of the Big Ten population to admit, some of the finest football of the decade has been played in the Southeastern Conference. This season is to be no excep- tion. The Old South may sport three of the year's finest football teams in Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. All three are ranked high nationally, and Ole Miss looms in the shadows should any of them falter.1 As much as one may x esent it, the fact remains that the SEC, if it hasn't been so for some time, is the nation's most rugged con- ference. Heading the list of SEC powers is Georgia Bulldog Coach Vince Dooley has amassed a fine record at Georgia, and this could be his best season yet. Last year's 9-1 record will be difficult to improve on, but an experienced crew of 35 lettermen centering around ace quarterback Kirby Moore, may well be able to pull it off. Solid Offense The Bulldogs have a solid of- fensive line, and the defense will give up points very grudingly. The schedule also points to the pos- sibility of a perfect season for Georgia. Neither Alabama nor Tennessee are slated for the Bull- dogs this season. The only real opposition should come from Mis- sissippi and arch-rival Georgia MEETING Tech. The absence from his sched- ule of the SEC's two other goliaths will hinder Dooley's dream of an undisputed title. He will probably have to wait until New Year's Day to settle that. When that day comes, there will be quite a battle. Until then, however, Georgia. should encounter little difficulty. The town of Knoxville, Tennes- see waits in eager anticipation of October 21. That is the day when their beloved University of Ten- nesee gridders will march down to Alabama to pull the rug out from under the Crimson Tride and Bear Bryant, and end Tide domination of the SEC, they hope. Hair Short The Volunteers came within a hair's breadth of doing that last season when they carried a 10-0 lead into the final quarter only to lose 11-10. The offense centers around quarterback Dewey Warren, who as a junior rewrote the Tennessee record book with his passing. His primary target will be hurdles champion Richmond Flowers, Jr., one of the few talented Alabamans to escape the clutches of Bear Bryant. Warren will also have two green but talented ends to supple- ment his ace flanker. Fullback Richard Pickins should give the Vols needed power on the crucial third down-and-crucial yardage situations. The Tennessee defense will be tough and experienced, except at the important linebacker spots where they will miss three of last year's starters,: including All- American Paul Naumoff. This seems to be the only weak link in the Volunteer chain. Coach Doug Dickey hopes he can bring his sophomore linebackers along quickly. They will be counted on heavily in the SEC's game of With that kind of schedule, an outright SEC title is unthinkable. Ole Miss, does however, have the material to pull an upset or two, and finish right up there beside the great Southern powers. Essential Ingredient Coach John Vaught has fifteen of his twenty-one starters back from last year. The only real prob- lem is that of an established quar- terback, an essential for a cham- pionship college team. Vaught will try senior Bruce Newell but soph- omore Terry Collier should see plenty of action. The rest of the offense is experienced and able. Ole Miss' real strength comes from its defense, built around tackle John Urbanek and middle guard Jimmy Keyes. The defense will engineer any upset that Mis- sissippi might hand Alabama, Georgia, or Tennessee. It is defi- nitely a defense that Mr. Warren, Mr. Kirby, and Mr. Stabler may find very difficult to crack. Un- fortunately, Ole Miss will not score enough points to make it to the top. The Rest Auburn, Florida, Louisiana State, Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State round out the SEC. None of them have anything to compare with the top four, and, all should be in for losing seasons, with the possible exception, excep- tion of Auburn. Coach Shrug Jor- dan has built himself a pretty good squad that might surprise a few people. He doesn't, however, have nearly the material to make Auburn a contender. When all is said and done, you can chalk up another one for the Bear. By DOUG HELLER "Jim Mandich could be really good but he's unproven." "Jim Berline could be really good but he's unproven." Michigan offensive end coach George Mans is one person who hasn't been carried away by the phenomenal publicity given soph- omore Mandich and senior non- letter winner Berline ever since spring practice. "We still don't know how they'll react to all those people in that big bowl over there."' Mans can't see how people com- pare the new split end, Berline, who caught two passes last year, with All-America Jack Clancy, just because Berline could run a little faster. "I'm concerned with whether Berline has the moves or hands of Clancy." Seven to Ten Mans add, "Everybody expects Mandich to catch seven or ten passes in his first game at tight end and go on from there." But he's a sophomore and although he's looked fine so far, there's no guarantee he'll be great right at the start. "I'm sure he's a good blocker." Mans is also apprehensive about how Berline (a starting quarter- back for present offensive line coach Tony Mason at Niles, Ohio, high school) and Mandich, from Solon, Ohio, will react to the challenge of the top-flight Duke defensive secondary on Saturday. Mans, who scouted Duke while they crushed Wake Forest said, TONIGHT 8:00 P.M. Michigan Union, Room 3S KEN STABLER ' i General Discussion: 1 On Involving Electorate in Nominating Activities 2.

It is unfor- tunate for Tennessee that the game must be played in Alabama, but if they are to beat the Tide in the near future, it will be this year. Meanwhile Bear Bryant's re- servoir of talent is still filled. Dur- ing the spring, it looked as if the Tide would face a serious void at quarterback when Kan (The Snake) Staebler was suspended for cutting practice, and other assort- ed misdemeanors. Fortunately for Staebler and Alabama, "The Snake" repented and was rein- stated. It just so happens that despite his lack of devotion to his school, Stabler is an excellent quarterback. He is possibly even better than that "other" playboy quarterback from Alabama. Last year he set an, SEC record for passing accuracy, and he runs ex- ceedingly well. Awesome Defense Stabler leads an excellent of- fense, but the Crimson Tide will overpower their opponents with an awesome defense. This is not at all new to Alabama, as last year's ranked in the same class with Michigan State and Notre Dame. When the Bear says that this year's defense is the best ever, the SEC, Tennessee included, had better sit up and take notice. The Tide is still the team 'to beat in the SEC. The darkhorse of the conference is Mississippi. Unfortunately, their schedule is the roughest of the Deep South, as they must face Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. "They have at least three really fine athletes in their defensive backfield who will pose a problem for anybody." Although Mans is unwilling to go overboard. in describing his starting wingmen, he is highly enthusiastic about the great depth he has. at both tight and split : end. Right number one behind Man- dich is Tom Weinmann, a star fullback at Ann Arbor High. Mans says, "We always knew Wein- mann was a real fine athlete and now his only problem is adjusting to his new position. At this stage, he's coming along very well for a sophomore." Judging from Weinmann's per- formance at last Saturday's scrim- mage, he's almost ready to give anyone a fight for the position. Senior Tex Spencer, "a real solid player" according to Mans is close behind Weinman. Spencer is from Chicago. Pullen Second At split end, Berline is follow- ed by a pack of eligibles with often-injured senior Tom Pullen holding down the second spot. The talentednCanadian, who won the tight end job last year until he was put out for the season by an injury, missed most of spring practice with an injury, and was. Injured early this fall. He also took a shot in the mouth during Saturday's scrim- mage, but Mans says that the Canadian "better be ready for Duke He's our .number one back- up man." Next is Bill Harris, a highly -re- garded sophomore from Mt. Clemens. Harris had some slight problems with injuries also, but will be in top shape for Duke. Eric Sorenson, also a sopho- more, from Royal Oak Kimball, is the next man in the split end succession. Brodnax Out Head football coach Bump El- liott announced yesterday that re- serve offensive tackle Stan'Brod- nox will be out for an indefinite period of time. Brodnax, a senior from Cincinnati, Ohio, received an arm fracture in practice Monday. The Rugby Club will hold a full intrasquad scrimmage Sat- urday at 4:00 on Wines field. The team., travels to Windsor Sunday for its first game. GRID, SELECTIONS Your roomie giving you a hard time?
