I GiE S THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1967 ,I PAGE ~ THE MICHIGAN DAILY Bear's Battered Crimson Tide Tackles Rebels / By BILL LEVIS Television buffs can get their first look'at the "Bear" this after- noon when Alabama's Crimson NATIONAL OUTLOOK Tide goes against a fired-up Mis- sissippi football team on the NCAA Game of the Week on ABC at 4:30 p.m. EDT. The game will be seen locally on WXYZ-TV. The "Bear" is Alabama coach Paul Bryant and over the last ten .years, the Tide under his leader- ship usually has been rated among the top three teams in the coun- try. This year, however, Alabama finds itself in the unfriendly con- fines of ninth place on the Asso- ciated Press football poll after tying weeks; Florida State 37-37 two ago and scoring an unim- MUSKE'68 Announces open petitioning for COSTUMER Petitions in Musket office, Michigan Union, 2nd floor DUE OCTOBER 9 pressive 25-3 victory over Southern Mississippi last weekend . The difference this year seems to be defense. The lithe defense which allowed the opposition only 44 points last season asd was sup- posed to lead the Tide to an un - defeated season this year faltered against Florida State. It took a brilliant performance by bad boy quarterback Ken Stabler, who seems to prefer the draft to the classroom, to save Alabama from its first defeat since 1965. Against Southern Mississippi, the defense "beared" down while Stabler and his favorite target, Dennis Homan, continued to click. The two have combined for five touchdowns this season. Ole Miss, which, defeated Ken- tucky last week after losing to Memphis State in its opener, will center its attack around the run- ning of tailback Steve Hidman and fullback Bobby Wade. While Alabama has been picked as a ten point favorite against the Rebels, the perfectionist Bry- ant has been dissatisfied with his team's performance this year. "We ham in 1965.

The announcement was made at a news conference called by Paul Richards, vice president of the Braves for whom Harris had played, coached and managed for years. Hitchcock was fired without advance notice Sept. 29 with the Atlanta team mired in seventh place in the National League standings.

LOUIS (P) - The favored St. Louis Cardinals will match, young Nelson Briles, a bullpen graduate with nine straight wins, against Boston's Gary Bell, a vet- eran of 10 big league seasons, this afternoon in the third game of a World Series that is all even after the first two. A soft rain dripped down on both the Cardinals and the Red Sox yesterday as they limbered up at Busch Stadium on the off day in the schedule. The weather- man forecasts, a possibility of showers for the weekend games. However, it would take real heavy weather before any games would be called off, especially on a big television weekend. Red Schoendienst, manager of the Cardinals, plans no changes in his line-up that banged gout 10 hits in the opener but was held to one lone double by Jim Lon- borg's pitching in the second game. Red, hopes a return to familiar surrounding in the 49,- 450-capacity park will act as a tonic for the Cards' .177 team batting average. Orlando Cepeda's failure to hit: safely in the first two games has been an anchor, around the neck of the Cards' attack. The Baby Bull from Puerto Rico,4who bat- ted .325 and -led the National League with 111 runs batted in hasn't a hit in seven at bats. This slump has recalled mem- ories of his .158 hitting for the San Francisco Giants in the 1962 series. Tim McCarver also is hit- less in six at bats and Curt Flood and Roger Maris each has only one hit. Lou Brock's four hits in the opener snd .500 average make him far- and away the leader. Boston thinks its sluggers woke, up Thursday with those two booming homers by Carl Yas- trzemski, the slugger who carried the Sox on his shoulders all sea- son. George Scott at .429, Yaz at .375 and Dalton Jones at .333 are the big men in Boston's line- up, which averages .234. Manager Dick Williams plans to continue with the same batting order that won Thursday."That means Joe Tartabull again will be in right field in place of Ken Harrelson and Elston Howard will catch for Russ Gibson. Williams has his pitching all set up through Monday, having proclaimed that Lonborg will wrap it up Monday. Jose Santi- ago, opening loser, Will work tomorrow. The Cards are expected to fol- low Briles with Bob Gibson in tomorrow's game in order to get a maximum of three starts with three, days rest each time for Gibson if the Series goes seven games. Like his rival today, Briles is a right-hander who throws hard. L i U nant. WASTEBASKET THROWN AWAY: Libels Crush Foe: Libels 6, Foe 12 Genuine Author' s Party for W. D. SNODGRASS, Poet Christian Morgenstern, Lyric Metaphysician and Paul Klee, Artist and Illustrator who have collaborated for many years on the world of delight, dread, and inexplicable reality known as the GALLOWS SONGS featuring a competition in nocturnes insane and brilliant inventions realms of the unconscious tragic romance and nonsense poetry By FRED LaBOUR Trying to capture the atmos- phere of yesterday's Daily Libel- UAC Mugger football game would be more difficult than writing a book entitled "Sex and the Sin- gle Wing or Why It Takes Them So Long to Unpile." The only thing anybody was sure of as The Daily went to press this morning was that the final score was 12 to 6.,. Every one of the 75 enthusias- tic fans who attended the game will agree on is how UAC was hopelessly outclassed by a determ- ined Daily seven. , The Libels, who looked a little ragged in style of dress when compared to the groovy, cute UAC uniforms, showed again and again that they were anything but rag- ged when it comes to spirit, the stuff victories are made of. Leading Shuffler Can anyohe who was there ever forget the crushing assaults led by Ron (Shuffler) Landsman? The bullet-like passes of Shoo- Shoo Shister? The general all- around, heroics of John Lottier? And what about the inspiring sight of Meredith Eiker, long rel- egated to atseat on the bench, coming on at a crucial moment and performing like a seasoned pro as yard-marker? The Daily scored the second touchdown of the game on a pic- ture-play pass from Shoo-Shoo to Diamond Bill Levis. Levis gath- ered in the ball on the Mugger's two yard line and fell into the end zone on his head. The two point conversion attempt failed. as UAC, using voodoo to offset their inadequacies on the playing, field, turned the ball into a can of chicken soup. The Muggers' strong point was their offensive line. It didn't mat- ter if they had the ball or not,' they were still offensive. It was a roughly fought con- test as UAC resorted. repeatedly to less than legal maneuvers. "See that guy over there?" said Libel Steve Wildstrom during the game. "He's a shmuck. He hit me in the face with his elbow." -The tension that enveloped Wines Field on that cold October' afternoon would have to be ex-. perienced to be believed. As Libel general manager Grayle Howlett put it, "I haven't been so excit- ed since McDonald's sold a bil- lion hamburgers.".} It must have been the tension that caused the Muggers to per- form so miserably. Their most exciting play of the affair came when a Mugger lost one of his contact lenses and the team spent 15 minutes crawling around on the ground. The Muggers demonstrated' their supreme lack of true-blue All-American football good guy spirit as they broke out a con- tainer of alcoholic beverages dur- ing halftime. The Libel squad was und'erstandably shocked and dis-r mayed at this flagrant display of middle class decadence but they tactfully held their peace and waited to uphold the forces of righteousness on the gridiron. And uphold they did. Time and again the explosive Daily offense marched up and down the field, almost at will, against the inept Mugger defense. The Libels were urged on by cheers from their numerous supporters on the side- lines. "UAC goes to Hatcher teas," they screamed. "UAC supports blind dates." And then, with darkness sym- bolically descending onto the field, the Libels moved to within inch- 'es of the winning touchdown on a long pass to Bill Krauss and Dick Metzger, the Daily super-tal- ented duo. On the very next play, with time running out, Shoo-Shoo roll- ed to his right, looked at the on- coming defensive hoard, sidestep- ped cleverly, looked at Coach Ed Herstein for directions, fell down, stood up, raced to his left, asked :a fan what time it was, mutter- ed something about an impending date, and fired a three yard pass to Phil (Blue) Brown. Brown dropped the ball as time ran out. Short Nort MVP Clark Norton was voted line- man of the game by a poll of sports editors in the pressbox. "Norton's the best I've ever seen," said one. "He has to be the most unusual defensive lineman in the history of the game." 'Offensive back of the contest was Shoo-Shoo, a man with su- preme confidence in his own abil- ity. "Maybe I should have called more runs," he stated after the game. "But shoot. It gets pretty confusing out there. How are you supposed to know what to call?" The Daily Libels were, in short, fleet of foot, agile of mind, solid of body and moral of claracter.
