Clark "Red" Shelton, owner
of REd's restaurant, reported
to Mayor Wendell Hulcher last
night that the hot dogs to be
sold at today's football game
are spoiled. Mayor Hulcher,
City Council Health Officer,
Joseph Price and the Univer-
sity Health Officer, William
Joy went to the stadium to
investigate the report.
Joy tested the hot dogs and
declared them rotten. They
have been confiscated by the
University. Although some
were kept in refrigeration and
are to be sold, hot dogs will be
scarce at today's game.
to be more rational. The fact is,
Michigan is in real trouble today
when it meets the intellectual Gol-
den Bears of riotous Berkeley at
i 1:30 p.m. in the stadium. .
Wolverine Coach Bump F
calls California "one of the tough-
est teams we've played at the start
of a season." Admittedly, this
doesn't mean too much since
Michigan has often started the
season with a patsy, a consequence
of making schedules five years in
advance.
And Cal would usually figure to
fit in the patsy tradition. Except
that they are given a chance of
finishing ahead of UCLA in the
Pacific Eight this year. Except
that USC- and Oregon State are
the only teams expected to have
little trouble with them.
The Golden Bears have a junior
quarterback named Randy Hum-
phries who was good enough to
beat out last year's starter 'Barry
Bronk mid-way in the season.
Bronik has since quit the.,team.
It was Humphries,uincidentally,
who came in late in the game to
throw the 77-yard touchdown pass
that beat Michigan a year ago.
Altogether on offense, Califor-
nia will start eight lettermen who
are coming off a year when they
slept the first seven games and
woke up for the last three, after
Humphries took over.
Unfortunately for Michigan,
Cals defense is better than the
offense. All that time last season'
when the offense was running
three plays and punting, the de-

able experience. And this year,.
nine of 11 starters are returning
lettermen. This includes Ed
White.
White, playing defensive left
guard is considered the Bears'
best player. Coach Ray Willsey
calls him the best athlete he has
had since Craig Morton, currently
a quarterback with the Dallas
Cowboys. I
But the best part of Cal's team
is the kicking game. Punter Gary
Fowler averaged well over 40 yards
a' kick last year, and has been
doing far better so far this sea-
son.
Place-kicker Ron Miller did not
miss an extra point in 1967, hit
on a 44-yard field goal against
Michigan, a 49-yard three-pointer
against USC, and has connected
on four of his last five attempts.
Thus the Golden Bear strong
point is also Michigan's well-
known Achilles heel. Elliott has,
been considering replacing last
year's punter, Pete Drehmann, who
shas been slow getting started this
season ,with Mark Werner. The
coach said he won't make a deci-
sion until pre-game practice to-
day.
Meanwhile, sophomore place-
kicker Tim' Killian, while upgrad-
ing this area from the non-entity
it was last season, has not yet
shown overwhelming consistency.
Overall, the Wolverines are
walking on eggs this year in terms
of depth. Elliott says he won't
really be sure of what he has be-
hind his first string until he has
to go to his bench during a game.
Meanwhile, the proven credentials
of just about everybody behind
the 22 starters point out that one
injury, would be a severe problem,
and two injuries would be a major
disaster.
The depth problem sabotages
any chance of analyzing the Wol-
verines by merely looking at the
starters. For instance, offensive
line Coach Frank Maloney con-
siders the Michigan attack to be
"very good. But I wouldn't ex-
actly say excellent."
Maloney makes it clear, how-'
ever, that he is only referring to
a completely healthy Wolverine,
offense who's stars, Ron Johnson
and Dennis Brown et al are in ab-
solutely perfect condition.
For Michigan's defense, the
question of injury is more than
merely potential. Already this
year, linebacker Cecil Pryor has
been incapacitated to the extent
that sophomore Ed Moore has
been installed as the new line-
backer while Pryor has been try-
ing to get back into shape. Moore
was originally a defensive end.
In addition, starting cornerback
Jerry Hartman has been tentative-
ly replaced by former linebacker
Bob Wedge while Hartman has
been fighting an injury. Any final

decision on who will play- will be
made just before the game.
From all this, one might gather
that the football game is more or
less a toss*-up. Since the fan
doesn't know what to expect, he
would be advised to:
a) Bring cotton to put in his
ears at half-time. This is the 20th
annual band day, It looks great,
but sounds -awful.
b) Admire how equal two foot-
ball teams can be from such dis-
tinguished academic institutions.
c) Avoid eating any food pur-
chased at the game.

This fall, as in every autumn
since Knute Rockne introduced
the foreward pass, the first three
weeks of September have pro-
duced what seems to amount to
volumes of that annual nonsense
called "pre-season polls."
What it all boils down to is that

sheds a little more light on the

emerge as the nations great pow-
erhouses by the last week in No-
vember when it counts.
Meanwhile, the Big Ten, which
is reputed to be on the verge of
recpturing most of its trampled-
over prestige, will open its sched-
ule today, and unfortunately all
forecasts can be based on little
more thant pre-season polls and a
little intuition.
Results of these polls show
that, the same pollsters who have
predicted a generally rejuvinated
Big Ten,' have issued individual
team forecasts which show that
the Big Ten will do no better than
3-5 in today's action against its
non-conference opponents. A
game by game look of today's Big
Ten action can only verify this
unhappy forecast.
Virginia's game at Purdue has
to be the surest victory of the
day for the Big Ten. Only Ohio
State who doesn't play, should
have an easier time this after-
noon.
Behind Mr.' Everything Leroy
Keyes, the Boilermakers field a
supporting cast which includes
quarterback sensation Mike
Phipps, fullback Perry Williams,
and a ;brusing defense' which is
no less formidable than the much.
publicized offense.
Virginia pins its minute hopes
If there is another scene of de-
light for the Big Ten today, it will
probably be at Bloomington, In-
diana, home of Cinderella one
year later.
With most of the whiz kids re-
turning to Indiana, the nation's
number 15 ranked team should
have a relatively easy time with
Baylor,\ one of the Southwestern
Conference's lesser e n d o w e d
teams.
But those scrambling clowns be-
hind quarterback Harry Gonso,
halfback John Isenberger and
flanker Jade Butcher, managed
to make every win a difficult one
last year, and there is little reason
to expect things 'will be much dif-
ferent this season.
Upon crossing the Indiana state
line, leaving the Boilermakers and
Hoosiers at home. Big Ten for-
tunes should take a distastrous
turnabout.
Next door in Illinois, the Illini
face a frustrating afternoon
against Kansas, the Big Eight's
second ranked team. Quarterback
Bob Douglass who topped the Big
Eight in total offense last year,
leads the Jawhawks against one
of the Big Ten's mediocre elevens,
Quarterback Bob Naponic and
fullback Rich Johnson provided a'
strong one-two punch in the Il-
lini backfield, but behind them
there is little to challenge the
well-balanced Kansas squad.
Up north, Duffy's Spartans
should have more than they could
handle when they meet a spirited
Syracuse team. Spartan optimists
keep pointing to the fact that
under Duffy the Spartans have
always bounced back from a
losing season to challenge for the
title. But tradition aside, the
Spartans have little going for
them.
.It should be a long day and a
lon'g season for the Colassus at the
Red Cedar River.
The best game on today's Big
Ten schedule should be at Min-
nesota, where- the Gophers take
on O. J. Simpson and the number-
two ranked Trojans. With few
people expecting an upset, the
16th rated Gophers have relatively'
little to lose and much to gain in
this grueling opening assignment.
While the defense, anchored by
All-American end Bob Stein,
should be the Gophers' forte, it is
doubtful that they can stop USC.
Although Simpson dominates the
attack, quarterback Steve Sogge
and flanker Jim Lawrence add
necessary balance.
Opening days are always heavy
with upsetsand there could be
one of the biggest at Minnesota,
but don't count on it.
If the three contests immediate-
ly mentioned look bleak for the
Big Ten, the two appear hope-
less.
Downtrodden Iowa entertains
eighth-ranked Oregon State, while
last year's cellar dwellers tangles
with Arizona.State, slight favor-
ites to take the WAC title. A vic-
tory for either of the conference's
weak sisters would have to be re-
garded as a stunning upset.
The "rejuvenated" Big Ten
looks headed for a disastrous
start.
