And participate in pennant vic- tory celebrations. And get doused with champagne while being interviewed on na- tionwide TV. Michigan sophomore Ted Sim- mons can tell you about it first hand. Simmons was brought up from a Cards' farm team just in time to be nicknamed the team's lucky charm in the last stretch for the pennant. And when the Cardinals won the National League pennant Sat- urday, Simmons was brought right into the center of the festivities. Placed on a table for a TV inter- view, he was doused with victory chmpagne and robbed of his shirt by celebrating teammates. A Detroit resident and former Tiger fan, Simmons was the num- ber one high school draft choice of the Cardinals in 1967. Two suc- cessful summers catching for a Class A farm team brought Sim- mons the surprise promotion to the major leagues. Simons described the promotion as "completely unexpected. I; thought I'd be in the minor leagues for at least three or fourl years. "I couldn't believe it when the asistant farm director flew out to check my progress, and ended up offering me aplace with the Car- dinals for the remainder of the season. They even worked it out so I could stay in school and fly down for the weekend series. "At first I. thought they were just talking big so I wouldn't be interested in the expansion teams that'd been around to see me play, so I didn't say anything to anyone.j "But three weeks later it became a definite thing. After that, all I could think about was finishing our season so I'd be moved up. It seemed like forever until our last, game." Simmons credentials justify the Cards' decision., Voted Most Valuable Player in the California Class A league, Simmons swept in three league. championships with a .331 batting average, 28 homeruns .and 117 RBI's. The Sept. 6 and 7 series against the Giants was' the first weekend Simmons spent in a pro uniform. most. He forfeited a football and baseball tender when he signed a pro contract. "Football was one of the things that made the decision to go pro so tough. It still hurts when I get into the stadium, I can't help but think that I could be down there in the game." Enrolled in physical education Simmons plans to switch his ma- jor to speech. "I'd like to broad- cast baseball or football after my pro career is over. I don't want to leave sports." Although ineligible for the World Series, since ..he didn't ap- pear on the roster before Sept. 1, Simmons has great faith in "his team." "After watching Saturday's game, I don't know how they could ever lose. They have great unity and, spirit. They're all out there together, no guy is out for his own record. "They don't feel they'll walk away with the Series-'cause the Tigers will give them a good fight. But I know we'll win it." Simmons at Woolworth's between innings And during the first game, Sim- mons almost got his break. , "In the bottom of the ninth we were losing 5-1. It looked pretty hopeless. With two outs, Scofield was up and Spezio was on deck. The pitcher next. Since they had exhausted all the pinchhitters, I was a prospect to hit for the pitcher. But I couldn't believe they'd really put me in. "Then the manager said, ""Hey Sims, grap a bat." "Boy, did I get pumped up. It was a real effort to walk t6 the batting rack. I kept thinking, if those two guys get on base, then I'll be up. Scofield was looking for a walk since the call was 3-2, and he{ hadn't swung yet. Then he was called out on a fast ball, and the game was over. "I couldn't believe it was over. I kept wanting to say, 'Hey wait, you didn't let me have my turn at bat.' "Last week I knew they were after the pennant and would only use regulars. But I'm pretty sure I'll get a chance to play next weekend in Los Angeles. They may even let me catch a game." A typical Michigan quaddie,. Simmons is a joker, tireless card, player and a night creature. He pases extra time playing practical jokes on friends,/watching football and talking sports with ,other quaddies. During the off-season, Simmons misses football participation the 4 FROSH PROSPECTS I Defensive backs must run like deer i 6fE sR 'College Men's Guide to Traditional Clothing, By KIM JOHNSON Downfield, where it's one-on- one, you against him, mistakes can be costly. You make a wrong move, a miscalculation, and you've blown it, baby. And it's often six points for the bad guys. This is the world of the de- fensive back, alone in the open for the whole world to deride him for his blunders. And, ironically, there is only a limited amount of possible preparation for this most thankless of all positions. Skill and confidence come in large part from experience, from trial under fire. This is not to say the poor play- er is sent in cold to face the lions. The defensive back under- goes as extensive practice as any- one to get him ready for Satur- day at the stadium. At Michigan, this training starts with c o a c h Bill Dodd and the freshman team. Dodd has between 16 and 22 boys out for the defensive back- PAUL CAMELET MASTER TAILOR for Men and Women alterations and remodeler specializes in shortening ladies coats, slacks, and skirts.

However, these are all se- lected from the group of offensive backs and are chosen for the qual- ties essential on defense. "We don't recruit defensive backs," states Dodd. "We recruit offensive backs and turn some of them, into defensive ones." The freshman backs go both ways, offense and defense, and a depth chart is made on each of them. During the two inter-col- legiate games Michigan has sched- uled this year, each player will be tried both ways ,and also in the Monday scrimmages against the varsity. Finally, using fhe charts and films made during the games and ..zz.~vv Keyes wil switch with Kirpatrick iLAFAYETrt, md. (Al)' Jim Why are we traditionalists? Kirkpatrick and All - American Leroy Keyes will alternate between running back and flanker back in Purdue's football opener tomor- row against the University of Virginia* Kirkpatrick, who played behind senior halfback Bob Baltzell last year, was the Big Ten's leading kick off returner. the scrimmages, each player will be evaluated by the varsity coach- es, both offensively and defensive- ly.' Their abilities, coupled with the needs of the varsity, deter- mine how each man'will be used on the big team. Among the cornerbacks which Dodd picked out for special praise were pave Zuecarelli, 6'1", 190-lb. back from Chicago, Preston Henry from Flint, who stands 5'1" and weighs 175 pounds, and 6'2", 190- lb. Glenn Doughty from Detroit. The ; freshman coach also made mention >of Mike Oldham from Cincinnati and Alex Rodgers from Detroit. Men who Dodd believes have the qualities to make fine safeties include Bruce Elliott, a 6'/", 173- pound quarterback from Indiana- polis, and Frank Gusick; 6'1", 185- pound back from Garfield Heights, Ohio. A cornerback has to meet two criteria, says Dodd. First, he has to have good speed, since he goes one-on-one with side receivers. Second, he has to be a hitter, be- cause he must come up and 'wipe out the interference of an enemy ball carrier so that the safety can make the tackle. "It's hard to find this combin- ation in a boy." declares Dodd. "If they have the speed, they're often, not big enough to .take the pound-- ing from the other part of their job." "The hardest thing for a de- fensive back to learn," says Dodd. "is to read. their keys, to react to the opposing players' key moves and be ready"for them." The inex perienced player tends to watch the ball instead of the key, he reasons. Discovering the'real talent of his backs will start soon as Dodd stresses fundamentals in scrim- mages in preparation for t h e' games. In losing at least three de- fensive backs at the end of this season ,the varsity will need help. And despite the fact that this is the toughest position for a sopho- more to take over, Dodd believes that his freshmen will be ready. vim -4 The natural look feels right and looks right.
