"If you have idealistic notions about, well, let's say the rah, rah, Michigan' stuff, then maybe you wouldn't care so much about playing as long as the team is winning. But as far as I'm concerned, that's alot of baloney. I have no illusions about it. I like to play with the bunch of guys we've got, and for the coaches we've got. But that's as far as it goes. I'm not going to be one of those alumni who comes back and cheers for the glory of Michi- gan- the idea of winning for the school means nothing to me at all." Jack Clancy was Captain of last year's Wolverine football team and an All-America end. He is now starting at end for the Miami Dolphins of the American Football League, and owes few apologies for his play while at Michigan. Clancy is a member of a rare breed among athletes, a man who "tells-it-like-it-is" and isn't afraid of seeing it in print. "If it would come down to whether the team could go un- defeated or I could play," Clancy explained last season, "my own choice would have to be that I'd play. After all, the reason winning Spurtacins No Longer Plow Up Storm By ROB SALTZSTEIN Quiet flows the Cedar River these days up in the agricultural belt of the state at East Lansing. The river, usually filled to its brim with a seasonal reign of ter- ror from the Spartan football squad, has been reduced to a mere trickle ever since the start of the MSU gridiron campaign three weeks ago. First Houston, then Southern California, drank'heavily from its source, draining it of its prestige and making the Spartans no longer one of the big splashes in the nation's top ten. But in the Big Ten, where it really counts, the river began to rise last week with a solid victory over Wisconsin. And if MSU coach Duffy Daugherty is allow- ed to open the dikes this week against Michigan,-look for the Spartan crop to sprout an abun- dance of roses. "There is nothing we would ra- ther do than win down at Michi- gan," says Joe Mitch, sports edi- tor of the MSU student newspa- per, the State News. Mitch knows very well that if he is to make a junket to Pasadena this year the Spartans must get by the Wol- verines this Saturday in what MSU athletic director Biggie Munn calls "The greatest college game and rivalry in the United States." Munn speaks politely, almost reverently of Michigan, as though not daring to offend the Wol- verines before the crucial game. But his voice tells you that if the Spartans win it (and they have won eleven of the last fourteen games) it's not just another win in their record book. MSU Coach Daugherty is more precise about what the game means to the good citizens of God's little acre. "It's our most important football game," says Duffy, "and we will need our best game in order to win. No other inter-state game in the nation is supported like this one and I mean it as a sincere compliment to Michigan when I say we want to win this one more than any other game we play." To harvest his victory, Daugh- erty comes into Ann Arbor Satur- day with a squad that barely lost }s Southern Cal.

He passed over and around them for 111 yards and blasted out crucial yardage on his specialty, the roll- out option. It is on this ray of hope, Jim's return to his 1966 form, that much of MSU's future success will revolve around. If Michigan's Ron Johnson, who cruised through the Navy line for a Wolverine record 270 yards, is again to run wild on the same type of play, it will be up to the Michigan line to take out two key players from the action, both of whom are new starters this year. The right side of the MSU defensive line is anchored by so- phomore Don Law and senior George Chatlos. If Johnson again takes off behind Michigan's left tackle he will find himself run- ning right up their alley. Two other highlights in the MSU defensive barnyard this year have been sophontore defensive end Rich Saul and linebacker Charles Bailey. Bailey was named as the AP outstanding lineman of the week for his play against the Badgers. Before the season began Saul was hailed as one of the five outstanding sophomores in the nation. Michigan defensive backfield coach Manns, who twice has scouted the Spartans for the Wol- verines, characterizes the East Lansing team as "being enthusi- astic and hitting very hard." There are two things we must do to win," said Manns. "We must hit hard and execute with perfection. If we do that we'll be in fine shape at the end of the game." 1 The Michigan Soccer clubI opened its home season Sun-; day with a 3-0 drubbing to Tol- edo, the same team they downed: 2-1 two weeks ago. Left wing Dieter Stefankovich tallied twice, but it was Kuaku Doh, playing at left inside, who opened the scoring with a goal in the second period. Stefankovich followed in the third period with a thrilling score on a pass from fullback Graham: Wilkes, and then added the final tally in the fourth period. Toledo, minus two regulars hurt Saturday, was not at full strength and was able to manage very few shots on the Michigan goal. The Wolverines, on the other hand, kept the Toledo goalie busy with fifteen shots on goal. Michigan displayed two strong lines, with periodic substitutions to rest the players. Last week the Wolverines re- ceived an offer to play the Uni- versity of Kentucky Wildcats in Kentucky. Due to a lack of fin- ances, the Michigan club reversed the invitation and Kentucky ac- cepted. They even cancelled a game already scheduled to be here November 11. This match may preview a similar Michigan- Kentucky meeting on the basket- ball court December 2. The next game for the Michi- gan Soccer Club will be Home- coming Weekend when they travel to Buffalo to meet a na- tionally ranked Bison team Thompson's Pizza 50c OFF Large, One-Item Pizza One Per Coupon Good Tues., Oct. 10-Thurs., Oct. 12, 1967 This coupon not good with other promotionals 761-0001 "I'm not going to be a 'rah rah' alumnus..." means anything to me at all is if I can be a part of it. I couldn't feel a sense of accomplishment in the team winning if I didn't play." It is hard to say how prevalent Clancy's attitude is among col- legiate athletes. Certainly many wouldn't agree with him. But even more would deny it if they did. Most sports figures take a certain delight in decorating their press clippings with tinsel and maple syrup. Bad guys don't make shaving commercials. Too many scars. But it can get tiring. Maintaining a glamourous image is one thing, blatant hypocrisy another. Many athletes operate under the assumption that they should say only what the public wants to hear. Or maybe just what they'd like the public to believe. It's politics in a world where it doesn't really matter. Managed news when there's no danger to national security. It all adds up to Super-Mush. A sad fact is that Clancy's position as Captain might have been jeopardized if his statements had been printed last season. Some fans and alumni might have been shocked, some disgusted, and even some of his teammates might have raised a few eyebrows, although it is hard to imagine that a player as outspoken as Clancy would not have, made his views known to those around him. . Perhaps his attitude even affected his effectiveness as a leader. But what should be kept in mind is that his teammates elected him Captain despite his views, and assuming they did not do so as a joke, Clancy should not have had to further justify his actions or beliefs to the public. And he's one guy who never felt he had to. GRID -SELECTIONS This week Grid Picks celebrates its sesquimilennium.
