: PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1967 PAGE SIX TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7,1967 Johnson s Exploits Carry Offense I CLARK NORTON By DAVE WEIR Theoretically, a halfback would be rather tired after being tack- led 42 times in one football game., But in Saturday's post-game locker room, Wolverine workhorse Ron (Flipper) Johnson didn't show the effects of his record- breaking performance. "I didn't feel tired at the end of the game. The thought of fin- ally winning one kept me going." Indeed, it might be added, the thought of 'finally winning one' kept the entire Michigan grid team plowing through snow and mud Saturday afternoon. The -victory had been a long time coming. Five straight losses had taken their toll on the spirit of the gridders. Just last Thurs- day, head coach Bump Elliott had said after .the week's final pre- game practice session: "This team is in good shape physically But all had changed by the end of the 7-3 whomping of North- western's Wildcats. Elliott greeted sportswriters with an ear-to-ear smile. Happy to Win "We are really happy to win this one. We needed it bad. We've come close so many times - it sure is nice to come out on top," he bubbled. His game plan had been to run Johnson over the Northwestern line, but midway through the contest, it became apparent that things were getting carried away. Johnson was the only back be- side quarterback Denny Brown who carried the ball. And often he lugged it three and four and five times in a row. "I just followed Garvie Craw through the holes in the line," which encompassed most of the claimed Johnson. "He cleared the games, the snowy substance re- path." turned to usher the victorious The players being "cleared" Blue off the field. out of the way were reluctant to Other than this, there was very give ground.

This preceded Michigan's lone touchdown in the second quarter.' But Agase was apparently not surprised by anything the Wol- verines did, for when asked whether his team had been caught off guard in any way, he replied} smirkingly, "That's a canned question if I ever heard one." He never did get around to answer- ing it, however. In the aftermath of the victory, Elliott was pleased to find no in- juries among his charges other than "the usual assortment of bumps and bruises." Views Film As he and his coaching staff settled down yesterday to gradei out the players' performances from films of the battle, they must have temporarily felt as if they were being treated to a vis- ual trip through fantasyland. For precisely as the game was to get, underway, the grey sky opened up and a deluge of white flakes flooded the field. After an extended timeout Sidelight Two encouraging sidelights on the receiving end of the Michigan air attack were Jim Berline and John Gabler. Each caught four passes to insure retention of their spots among the elite of Big Ten, receivers. Another bright part of the Blue picture was the punting of sopho- more Pete Drehmann. He banged out six floaters for a total of 243 yards; for better than a 40 yard average per kick. Elliott feels that his defensivej unit deserves much of the credit for the win, due to their "tougher than nails" play in the second! half. "We came up with the big plays defensively - that was the key." Several of the "big plays" were the two interceptions by Jerry, Hartman and the fumble recovery by Phil Seymour which ruined a Wildcat touchdown opportun- ity. The play of the Michigan's of- fensive was the subject of some comment by observers, but Agase 1 was not one of those who choose to give an opionion. When asked which Wolverine players blocked+ most effectively, the Wildcat; mentor replied: "That's too hard a question. I can't answer that." The Nauseating Scourge iOf 'Creeping Pro fessionalism' Good evening. Welcome to the 'Original Amateur Hour.' This is your commentator, 'Belt' Buckley. Tonight we are discussing Creeping Professionalism,' a subject which should nauseate all true Americans. Our guests are Robert High-See, founder of the Yawn Birch Society, and H. L. Heinz, reputed to be the richest man in America. H. L., you look sick." Heinz: "That's because the subject tonight is 'Creeping Profes- sionalism,' Belt. And by the way, my friends call me 'H' for short." Belt: "As you gentlemen know, 'Creeping Professionalism' is per- haps the greatest threat to integrity of collegiate athletics today. There was a time when men strong of body, moral of character, grim of determination, and weak of mind would take a few spare moments from their studies to congregate in a near-by pasture and knock heads with men of similar mold from visiting institutions. Sport did not smack of the stench of monetary reward; it was good, clean fun, an exercise in purity .. High-See: "Excuse me, Belt, I don't want to interrupt, but my friends call me 'Robert.' I just wanted to be sure you knew." Belt: ".... Then the 'Creeping Professionalists' moved in. Men with money as their motive, willing to sacrifice the integrity of young men to further their own cause ...." Heinz: "I don't think you mean to imply that money in itself is a bad thing, do you Belt? Just when it gets into the hands of the wrong people." -Daily-Lanny Austin SHADES OF TOM HARMON: Michigan's record breaking right halfback Ron Johnson struggles for extra yardage as North- western's Hans Leissoo (62) attempts to drag him down.

University Phon Abel said there was nothing physically wrong with Crozier but s a i d the 5-foot-8, 160-pound goalie told him he was "at the cracking point" emotionally and had "lost confidence" in his abil- ity to play. Crozier has allowed 18 goals in the last three games. He was the NHL's Rookie of the Year in 1964-65 and was named to the All-Star team. He followed up in the '65-66 season by winning the Conn Smythe Trophy. Last year, as Detroit failed to make the playoffs for the first time in five seasons, Crozier al- lowed an average of 3.36 goals per game, but posted six shutouts. Just before his slump last week, Crozier had allowed only four goals as Detroit won four straight games, including his 20th career shutout. Howe, Hull Tied NEW YORK - Veteran Gordie Howe of Detroit, belying his 39 years of age with one of his best early-season _ performances, has moved into a tie with Chicago's dynamic Bobby Hull in the Na- tional Hockey League's individual scoring race. The latest statistics revealed yes- terday that Howe, six-time scoring champion, has accumulated 16 points on 10 goals and six assists. Hull, the goal-scoring pacesetter with 11, has five assists. Yvan Cournoyer of Montreal is third in the scoring derby with 14 points. He is followed by Fred Stanfield and John McKenzie of ,Boston, Andy Bathgate of Pitts- burgh, Dave Keon of Toronto, Jean Ratelle of New York and Alex Delvecchio of Detroit, all tied 'with 13 points. The Philadelphia Flyers have the best goaltending record as Ber- nie Parent and Doug Favell have combined to yield an average of only 2.2 goals a game. Wilt Best Shot NEW YORK-Wilt Chamberlain of Philadelphia, the NBA's all-time scoring king, is averaging 13.6 points per game and his total of 109 points isn't enough to get him in the NBA's top 20 much less its top 10. But Wilt, who didn't even at- tempt a shot in last Saturday's game against San Francisco, still leads the league in field goal per- centage with a nifty .568 average on 46-for-81 and stands third in rebounds and assists. Jimmy King of San Francisco is the leading scorer with 322 points, while teammate Nate Thurmond tops the rebounders with 313 and Len Wilkens of St. Louis leads in assists with 92. Chamberlain's 74 assists average out to 93 per game-the best aver- age in the league in that depart- ment. 'OK, Puny, I'll trade you Fidmer for A pizza...' Belt: "I think that is enough by way of introduction. Our two guests have agreed to garticipate in a little skit that we've pre- pared to demonstrate the impending evils of 'Creeping Profes- sionalism.' So I'll turn it over to you, 'H'." Heinz: "Here is the powerful Athletic Director H. O. 'Blitz' Edsel meeting with another powerful Athletic Director, Clarence 'Puny' Munn. There is good reason to believe that neither would exactly cry at the thought of aiding the cause of 'Creeping Professionalism'...." Puny: "Well, H. 0, what can we do to (chuckle) aid the cause of 'Creeping Professionalism' tonight?" Edsel: "As you know, Clarence, I am a mere puppet of Paul "Yogi" Bryant, the creepiest of all the 'Creeping Professionalists'. But he HAS sent me many evil orders to further the destruction of the Amateur World. And by the way, my friends call me 'H' for short." Puny: "What does Yogi have in mind this time? Remember whey, he (chuckle) got the idea of giving athletic scholarships? Little did anyone know that that was merely a clever ploy to bind unsuspecting young high school stars in chains." Edsel: "This is Yogi's biggest, most diabolical move yet. I'll give you a clue. What do 'pros' do that we've never yet dared?" Puny: "Move the goalposts up?" Edsel: "Don't be ridiculous. That would be going too far. No, Clarence. We're going to start trading players." Puny: "You mean lik'e I give you two future high school draft choices for your fleet end, Jim Beeline?" Edsel: "Precisely." Puny: "This is a great day for the cause of 'Creeping Profes- sionalism,' 'H.' But there's just one problem . . . once we start trading players, there won't be anywhere left to creep." Edsel: "Yogi's already (chuckle) thought of that, Clarence. There's plenty of room for expansion in the NFL. We're a cinch to make the pros." Belt: "Goodnight, ladies and gentlemen. It may already be too late." . . ..... .
