$ Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, October 19, 1968 OSU, Purdue favored; MSU in key battle Soph Hill: 'M' defensive surprise By JOE MARKER Ohio State seeks to continue its rise to the top of the nation's foot- ball polls today as they take on Northwestern's Wildcats in what should be one of the leading mis- matches of the young Big Ten season. The Buckeyes have rocketed to, second place just behind Southern California in the pollsters' judg- ment as a result of their stunning 13-0 victory over Purdue last week. With a starting cast consisting largely of sophomores, OSU was supposed to be a year from foot- ball greatness. But last week's shocker proved that Woody Hayes' charges belong among the nation's elite, as they shredded the Boilermaker defense for nearly 350 yards rushing and held Leroy Keyes to a mere 19 yards. The rock-ribbed defensive unit, which ranks third in the country in points-allowed (6.7 per, game), scored a touchdown of their own last Saturday on a 34 yard interception return. PURPLE HEART Ohio State will be without the services of their halfback, John Brockington, but should have little trouble defeating a worn-out Northwestern eleven, which de-1 serves some kind of purple heart for its suicide schedule. The Wild- cats, now 0-4, have challenged a Top twenty team in each of its games, opening against Miami of Florida (ranked number 12), and continuing with Southern Cal (1), Purdue (5), and Notre Dame BIG TEN ROUNDUP : 's ,iEn iS'' :S : {a }::"am a : . (6). Last, Saturday, against the Irish, the Northwestern defensive unit showed for the first time this year that it can be stingy, holding Notre Dame to a 7-0 lead at the half. However, the offense again displayed it characteristic inept- ness, garnering only one touch- down the entire afternoon. In a crucial Big Ten encounter, Minnesota journeys to East Lan- sing to crack heads with Michigan State. The Gophers, one of the pre-season favorites for, the con- ference crown, have faltered re- cently, barely squeaking by a weak Illinois team last week, 17-10, after1 three unimpressive non-league en- counters.I MSU EXTINCTION?'

The only other conference game besides the Michigan-Indiana clash pits a young but promising Iowa eleven hosting a weak' and hopeless Wisconsin team. Iowa, which again was supposed to play the role of the doormat for the' other conference teams, has sur- prised everyone by whipping high- ly-regarded Oregon State in its opener and'then nearly whipping Big Ten champion Iowa last Sat- urday. The Hawkeyes gathered 531 yards in total offense against the Hoosiers before bowing 38-34.

Street hands off to Chris Gilbert, Steve Worster and Ted Koy, as fine a group of runners as can be found in the country. POWERS WARY Two top ranked teams, South- ern Cal and Kansas, have games that look easy on paper but could turn into trouble. O. J. Simpson leads the Trojans against a Washington team that has shown an ability to score points, despite winning only one game. A letdown could be disas- trous against such an offensive minded crew but USC should be able to go to Simpson enough times to pull out a victory. . Kansas also faces an opponent that has won but once, Oklahoma State. However, the Cowboys pull- ed a major upset against Houston; last week and will be gunning for the Jayhawks today. CRUCIAL CONTEST Another game on tap in the Big Eight should be a lot closer and is much moreimportant;for the teams involved. Missouri invades Nebraska for a must game, one that both squads need to stay alive in the conference race. Nebraska relies on its defense and it has been good. enough to beat all comers except Kansas. The offense can best be described as adequate, but Ernie Sigler, Dick Davis, Joe Orduna and F r a n k Patrick are capable backs and score enough points for Nebra- ska's needs. Nebraska's attack will have to be at its best since Missouri has only allowed 30 points this seaon. The Tigers' offense is in about the same shape as the Huskers', though, so a battle of the lines can be expected. COAST CONFRONTATION BUBBA WYCHE that both must win to stay in contention in the conference race. California has been the surprise team of the Pacific with their strong defense, a fact which Mich- igan fans; are well aware of. The Golden Bears have yet to give up a touchdown rushing this year, a factor which could decide the contest. UCLA has had quarterback problems resulting from an Iijury to Bill Bolden. As a result they have been forced to rely more on runners Greg Jones and Mickey Cureton. Jim Nader, Boldens re- placement, so far has been eratic and not able to open up the Bruin offense. One other western, contest in- volves disappointing Oregon State and explosive Arizona State. The Sun Devils have been rising as a football power and should be able to make the Oregon eleven their latest major power victim.
