It's a typical Michigan football
game in Ann Arbor. Quarterback
Denny Brown hands off to Ron
Johnson while fullback Garvie
Craw heads out! and cuts down
the onrushing linebacker.
This scene is familiar to Wol-
verine fans. For Craw's crushing
blocking and all-around aggressive
play has been a major factor in
Michigan's success this year.
Craw feels that he is not yet
established as a good Big Ten
player. Yet he is satisfied with his
role as a blocking back. However
he c'ommented that "I have an
idea that I will be running more."
Craw feels "super happy about
our winning. An important factor
for a team is that they know they
can win," he continued.
In discussing the emotions of
the players, he explains that "dif-
ferent guys get up for a game in
different ways. Some are with-
drawn, some like to be in groups,
some are loud, and some are quiet.
"I'm sort of a cross between all
of these. What I worry about most
before a game is that I'm not up
for it."
As Coach Tony Mason has point-
out, "Garvie Craw is one of the
best fullbacks in the country to-
day. He's not selfish and he -en-
joys blocking as much as carrying
the ball."
Mason continued, "He is truly
overpowering. One has to admire
Craw for the amount of punish-
ment he receives."
But, Craw contends that "there
was only one time I was really
HOMECOMING GAME:

He was attracted to the Big Ten
for a special reason: he feels the
best college football is played here.
A close personal friend of Ron
Johnson, Craw is upset about
Johnson's lack of publicity, in
comparison with such players as
Leroy Keyes and 0. J. Simpson.
"I think Ron has just as much
game-day speed as Simson.
"In addition, he is more power-
ful and has better moves. Simp-
son's publicity has ,made him an
undisputed first team All-Amer-
ican, while Ron is a questionable
first team selection."
Moreover, he feels that Denny
Brown doesn't receive all the pub-
licity that he deserves.
In high school, Craw played for
one of the outstanding teams in the
country. As a juhior at Montclair
High School, in New Jersey, his
team was ranked the third best
high school team in the country.
Yet Craw sees basic differences in
high school football splayed in dif-
ferent regions of the country.
"In New Jersey, we played main-
ly fundamental football. While in
other areas, such as the Midwest
and Texas, the brand of football
is somewhat more complex. They
have more better players. There is

"In a pre-season game last year,
guard Jim Duffy broke his leg in
such a way that, although he was
lying on his stomach, his leg was

that he was lying on his back."
Personally he adds, "during a

and running 18 yards for the score.

FOOTBALL. And we realize it's a
very big game, but what are you
going to do until one o'clock? The
lacrosse team has a suggestion. At
9:30 on Ferry Field this. Saturday,
'Michigan will meet the Notre
Dame lacrosse team in a game
which propiises to be very excit-
ing.
But there's a better reason for
going to this game than just for
the excitement of watching what.

est game on two feet." Oct. 26 is
Joel Cordish Day.
While attending Johns Hopkins
University, Cordish played goalie
for the lacrosse team for four
years. He received his master's de-
gree from Columbia, and came to
Michigan to work for his doctorate
degree in English. He becane one

of the- assistant coaches for the
Wolverine lacrosse team as well
as assuming once again his goaile
position.
Early on the morning of Oct.
5, Cordish was shot on the .Diag.
He is off the critical list now, but
is still paralyzed from the neck
down. His assailant has not yet
been found.
Donations will be accepted at
the game this Saturday to be used
as a reward for the 'apprehension
and conviction of the person re-
sponsible.
Lacrosse is an exciting sport,
and Homecoming should be a fun

new kind of ecstasy's on fire here.

'Pits up! for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
