One year ago his successor, Jim Berline, made all-conference hon- ors and likewise graduated. Having neither a Clancy or a Berlines this season, Michigan's fortunes at split end depend on two untried juniors, Bill Harris and Jerry Imsland. According to offensive end coach George Mans, the two have been neck and neck for the start- ing spot. "But," he added, "their experience is zero." Harris missed much of last sea- son on injuries, but the 6'1" end from Mount Clemens grabbed four passes in the final intra- squad game last spring for 60 yards. Imsland, also 6'1", is new to the position. A transfer student from Kentucky, he backed Jim Man- dich at tight end last spring. At fall practice, however, he was moved over to his present spot. His success at making a smooth transition will probably earn him the starting nod, but even so, Harris is sure to see him share of the action.I Experience, though, is no prob- lem at the tight end and flanker spots. Tight end rests firmly in the hands of Jim Mandich. Last year, as a sophomore, the 63" end started every week, coming on stronger as the season ended fin- ishing eighth in Big Teti pass re- ceiving. In the Illinois game, for ,exam- ple, he grabbed four passes for, 34 yards besides acting as key' blocker. "He stands on the thres- hold of being great," Mans fore- sees, "He has both the physical qualifications and the attitude." Backing him is Fike Hankwitz, the junior who will also double as Michigan's kick-off man. He is backson the offensive unit after a season at linebacker. "He was a tight end in his freshman year," Mans "explains, "but we needed linebackers so that's where he played last season. Now that there are several new sophomore linebackers and Ims- land has moved over to split end, he has returned to that position." When scrambler Denny Brown, decides to throw, his third target will be flanker John Gabler. Last year the 6'2" junior snagged 20 passes for 175 yards and 12th' place in conference rankings. His 25 yards rushing will no doubt be improved- upon by his 25-pound weight loss. The greatest advantage, as Mans points out, in having a third receiver is "using him as a threat to confront the opposition de- fense." His back-up men are described by Mans as "dead equal." Dave Farabee, a senior has been moved around considerably, gaining ex- perience as both an offensive and defensive back. Paul Staroba is a sophomore, but did not play freshman foot- ball. Now on tenure, he is im- proving steadily, making 'up for the year of football he missed. Mans sizes his unit up as one of "inexperienced depth' but, would prefer one experienced in depth. Coaches By JEFF LISS cord. E Around the Big Ten, coaching champi philosophies come in - various titles, shapes i as n shapes and sizes.

Mollenkopf the villian, is used to being envied. In eleven years of coaching, his Purdue teams have finished out of the first division only once. His overall record stands at 68-35-9. Minnesota's Murray Warmath has led his squad through thick and thin for fourteen years, com- piling a 70-56-5. record 'along the way. In 1960, he followed up a last place Big Ten finish with a na- tional championship. He has coached two Gopher Rose Bowl appearances, splitting the decis- ions. Warmath is basically a "con- tact" man, in that he emphasizes hard hitting and hard work over any specific football philosophy. OPTIMISTIC IOWA,. Ray Nagel is an optimistic man. As coach at Iowa, he had better be optimistic. Since taking over the Hawkeyes in 1966, Nagel's record has been a disappointing 3-16-1. Hired to pull off a rebuilding job similar to the revival he led at Utah (1958-1965), Nagel believes this year may produce his first successful showing. Everyone knows that Michigan State's Duffy Daugherty is witty, jovial, frank, droll, and jolly. That's his image. His Spartan teams, which al-' most always seem to boast Spar- tan-like defenses, have played to a 85-42-4 pace. Undoubtedly, Daugherty's high water mark to date came in 1965 and 1966, when he coached two straight undefeat- ed national champions. Duffy will never have to worry about his job. All he need do is break up the boys and the Board of Trustees each year in his jovial; witty, droll, and jolly style. They need someone to keep them smil- ing. JOHN PONT Ara Parseghian is a tough act to 'follow, but that's what Alex Agase had to do. Agase took over for Parseghian at Northwestern in 1963, when Ara moved to Notre Dame. Since then, he has mnolded a 13-25-1 overall record. By JOE CHIESA The Civil War ended over a century ago, but the clamor over Southern independents continues into the '68 season. With an independent's role is primarily one of antagonist, Miami and IForida St. appear to be chief Southern tormentors on the gridiron this year. Charlie Tate's Miami Hurri- canes will start seventeen letter- men. The offense will be spear- headed by signal caller Dave Olivo, a pinpoint passer, who often ventures from the pocket a la back. Florida State went to the airways almost 70% of the time last year, Ron Sellers (70 catches, 1228 yards) being the primary reason. Tom Bailey and Bill Gunter provide the running punch when called upon, presumable not t o o often. The offensive line is well manned and will give enough time td whomever coach Bill Peterson chooses to throw the ball. The defense contains a plethora of returnees, led by linebacker Dale McCullers, touted for All- American ratings, as is everyone The line headed by Captain Howard Moore is far from im- mense. Tulane's defense generally is very small and very young. An easier schedule offers little conso- lation to coach Jim Pittman. Coach Pie Vann's Southern Missippi team is a good one. Van Mississippi team is a good one. Vann is a stickler for' funda- mentals -and his team is funda- mentally sound. The offense is well balanced and deep, featuring running backs Johnsohn and Johnston. The defense has the size, the speed, and the Barney. Rex Barney at 250 pounds is an awesome middle guard. Chattanooga and Tampa boast of 26 and 33 returning lettermen respectively. Chattanooga is now a part of, the University of Tennessee and should improve on its seven and three record of last year. Tampa has a new stadium and a new coach. Beware y'all. Agse's forte is his knowledge of and ability to develop defensive lines. His two greatest highlights as Wildcat coach were both de- fensive gems -.both upsets over Illinois (35-7) in 1966, and Miami (12-7) in 1967. 1 Fran Tarkenton. Olivo's running backs, Vince :si ::;:: Opalsky and John Acuff, strike NATIONAL fear and pain in the hearts and bodies of enemy defenses, having amasnsed over 1100 gards in'67. OUTLOOKI The well balancd attack is an- chored by a veterans offensive line. The Hurricane's defense is mammoth and seasoned. Ted Hendricks, twice All-American, is a fixture at defensive end. The corps of linebackers is solid. Miami's only weakness may be in the secondary. . Southern Cal and the Crimson Tide of Alabama are included in the Hurricanes' schedule this season, but Miami's balance and experience should place them high in the polls. Florida State should again at- tain national recognition.. Letter- men number 21 of 22 regulars. Kim Hammond's departure, how- ever, creates a void at quarter- else who currntly slaps on a jer- sey. The front four are small by Big Ten standards, but fleet. Just across ;the state line the situation is deemed far f r o m promising. Georgia Tech partisans can look forward to another lean, year. The, loss of superback Lenny Snow, Kim King, and fourteen other seniors sends a host of sophs to the front lines. Coach Bud Carson in his second year has re- vamped the passing attack, now featuring quarterback Larry Good and received John Sias. Sias is good; Good unproven. A few holes will be opened in the interior line, but someone must be found to use them. In '67 Tech's porous defense provid- ed ample opportunity for opposing forces yielding 205 points. Although the Yellowjackets de- fense gained some experience last season, middle linebacker Earl Wilcox is the only standout, the others may "stand out". Georgia Tech's schedule is a grim one with Miami and, Notre Dame. "The Snow" is gone but it will be a long cold winter in Atlanta. Tulane and Southern Missis- sippi have contrasting years ahead. The Green Wave of Tulane is indeed green. One of the few offensive threats of the Tulane aggregation is hard running full- back Warren Bankston. The quarterback spot as several others is up for grabs. I Gridde Pikigj Yatta yatta. Oh boy. Whee.

It is generally. conceded that Agase's performance at North- western is not a reflection of his ability, rather an indication of the type of talent he's had to work N with. Nevertheless, grumbling alumni don't consider such fac- tors, and they may call for Agase's head as this year turns out to be a disaster, as expected. Jim Valek stepped into a tradi- tion encouraging to him last year, He became only the fourth Illinois coach since 1913. Shown such pa- tience, Valek should feel little pressure as he tries to bring the fighting Illini back to Big Ten respectability. With his initial year, usually a season of adjustment, behind him, Valek, a fierce, enthusiastic com- petitor, hopes to improve on last year's 4-6 mark. ONE FOR WISCONSIN Poor John Coatta. His f i r s t season at the Wisconsin helm wasn't exactly a heartwarming experience. As p matter of fact he failed to chalk up his first Big so Ten win (the Badgers went 0-9-1). This year should be much bet- ter. He'll ?probably get that first win. He can't count on much more, though, and a two-year log of 1-18-1 or so won't help him towards Big Ten coaching immor- tality. 1 It only figures that the offense should be Coatta's encouragement this year.' The 39-year-old coach ,was a star quarterback for Wis- consin from 1949-1951. He claims the conference record for seasonal completion percentage (.642) and the Badger record for completions in a conference game (19). Michigan's own Bump Elliot has had an up and down career, as indicated by his 43,40-2 record in nine seasons.. His greatest achievements were a conference title in 1964, follow- ed by a thumping of Oregon State in the Rose Bowl. Elliot has turned in some credit- able performances. However, alumni are yearning for the Wol- verines' return to perennial power, a situation which hasn't existed since 1940-1950. If Bump doesn't at least break even this year, his ten year career may come to an abrupt halt. MISTER R FAMILY RESTAURANT HAMBURGERS TREASURE CHES?
