He is dismayed, but by no means discouraged, over the team's lack of success this season. "After last week's game I felt terrible. I got up Sunday morning and I just couldn't believe we had been beaten so badly. It was the worst loss I ever suffered." Team Amazingly High He continued on a more opti- mistic note, "This week we're going' to win. It's a must game and there's absolutely no doubt that we'll win. Despite our first fourl games the team morale is amaz- ingly high." Dayton represents his team ex- ceedingly well. While he is usual- ly not a holler-guy type leader, he makes a great effort to make sure he is always giving 100 per cent both in the games and on the practice field to set an example for the team. "When it comes to just before game time, I just like to sit quietly around studying the game plan." The thing that bothers Dayton most about the dismal season is the strong undercurrent of crit- icism aimed at the coaching staff. "There's not a member of this team who wouldn't rather play for Bump than any other coach in the country and that includes Bear Bryant or anybody else. It's too bad the coaches have to take the rap." Dayton knows that the team has played very erratic football. He is confident that the team, and him- self, can do far better. Coach Ma- son says of Dayon, "He's real good ballplayer and he's vastly under- rated." Pooh-Pooh It's very seldom when the cap- tain of a 1-3 team is slightly re- morseful about not having the na- tion's number 2 ranked team on his schedule. But Joe Dayton is. "If I had one game to play over again it would be last year's Pur- due game. I can't believe we've lost to them the last two years." Neither Dayton nor any of his teammates have made the trip to Pasadena and nobody is exactly making plans to go this year. Right now Dayton is just looking at one game at a time and,-trying to get the team to play the kind of foot- ball he knows they're capable of. "After we beat Indiana we'll be on the right track." rttery Brown gave little credit to his personal ability concering the out- put of the team in the second half of the State game. "The team was up for the second half." he ex- plained. "and Vid (Vidmer) might have had the same success." While Brown only saw about 13 minutes of varsity action last fall, he has displayed a threat as a run- ner as well as a passer. His run- ning ability was evident in the State game last weekend as he piled up yardage on power sweeps and options. There is no question that run- ning the ball is the biggest thrill in football and I certainly enjoy that aspect of the game the most," he said. "But I'm not quick enough to play halfback and, frankly I wouldn't want to play anywhere but quarterback." Brown's devotion to the team and the team alone led him to praise the abilities of Dick Vidmer very highly. "He is a great quar- terback. I wish that I had his throwing ability. Vid throws a firm pass that always spirals. My passesetend to fishtail sometimes because I try to throw the ball too hard." There is little doubt that Vid- mer hasn't been nearly as accu- rate this year at last. The absence of All-American Jack clancy may have something to do with that but even so, Vidmer hasn't show much of last year's polish. Brown will be starting for that every rea- son. "I know I can make the hand- offs,' said Brown in a manner which said that he could do much more than that. "No. 22" is majoring in physical education and hopes to teach and coach when he graduates in two years. Naturally Brown is predicting a victory this weekend over Indiana. His only hope is that he does not blow his opportunity as a starter. "I have a job to do and I'll do my best to do it."

Brown came on for Dick Vidmer in the second half and ran for 33 yards in 11 carries and completed 6 of Indiana. Dennis. Brown: By HARRY ENGLEHART While walking back from last Saturday's disaster in Michigan Stadium, someone was overheard discussing the ability of "that No. 22" to get the team moving in the second half. "What's his name now . . . er Braun or . . , Bronson. Something like that." This week in the Homecoming game against Indiana's unde- feated Hoosiers, Mr. Spectator is going to see that same "No. 22" Big Ten Trivia 1. How much did the original Little Brown Jug cost? 2.

Brown is expected to start tomorrow against trying to put some oil in Michi- gan's sputtering offense.' By the way, "No. 22" is a junior from Lincoln Pork by the name of Dennis Brown. While quarterbacking for Lin- coln Park High, Brown became accustomed to the sweet sensation of victory. Under his leadership, the team set a Michigan state record for most consecutive wins, compiling 22 straight victories. Sweet sensations have been a rarity in Brown's college career for two reasons: First, he has seen only very limited action and sec- ond, Michigan just hasn't been winning of late. The absence of victory hasn't altered any of Brown's opinions about Michigan, however. "I picked Michigan because I was very impressed with the coaching staff," he said. "Coach Elliott, Coach Fonde, and Coach ,Mason didn't try to make feel like I was the only one being recruited. They were honest and that's what I liked."' Brown, who is extremely modest about his probable starting role this coming Saturday, gives no hint of having a lack of confidence in his ability. "I just want to do the job," Brown said. "Coach Foinde always tells us that we should take care of the little things and the big things will fall into place." Hopefully, the big things will fall into place in time for a win over Indiana with Brown starting at the helm. Last week's game may give some indication of the way the offense could move, for with Brown quarterbacking the team was able to advance relatively easy against MSU, despite the blatant lack of numbers on the Michigan side of the scoreboard. __ ___ UN ION-LEAGUE HO ECOI I G '67 A!
