Saturday, 'November 2, 1968, THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Saturday, November 2, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Wildcats return home; Wolverines wary of upset By PHIL BROWN Before the 1968 football season even got started, people were say- ing that Northwestern would be a force to reckon with inthe Big Ten-if they could survive their first five games. In the first weeks of the cam- paign the Wildcats faced such, national powers as Miami, Notre Dame, Southern Cal, Purdue, and Ohio State, and somewhat pre- dictably lost to all of them. But the idea was that by swap- ping blows with such power- houses before playing the run-of- the-mill Big Ten schools North- western would just have to get tougher, and therefore make things very difficult for their re- maining opponents. So last week the Wildcats got their first victory, edging the frustrated Wisconsin Badgers 13- 10 in a contest closely resembling a Shaw comediy. NOT RIGHT It was not the kind of win the Wildcats had been looking for. The Badgers' had gone winless in 15 straight games, and North- western was heavily favored. Yet they eventually won the game only on a sensational break. Leading 10-6 late in the game, the Badgers sprung loose a speedy halfback, who headed down the sideline with what should have been the frosting on a Badger vic- tory cake. But it was not to be, alas. The halfback suddnely pulled up short with a leg cramp, he was promptly dumped, and Northwestern came STARTING LINEUPS MICHIGAN OFFENSE (88) (76) (56) (52) (61) (72) (80) (22) (18) (40) (48) (91) (65) (90) (39) (97) (74) (55) (26) (25) (38) (12) Jim Mandich Bob Penksa Dick Caldarazzo Dave Denzin Stan Broadnax Dan Dierdorf Bill Harris Dennis Brown John Gabler Ron Johnson Garvie Craw Phil Seymour Tom Goss Tom Stincic Henry Hill Ed Moore Dan Parks Cecil Pryor Jerry Hartman Tom Curtis Bob Wedge George Hoey TE LT LG C RG RT SE QB F TB FB (80) (79) (59) (55) (54) (77) (86) (15) (22) (34) (45) NORTHWESTERN Bruce Hubbard Don Denny Angelo Loukas Joe Zigulich Mike Sikich Tom Ziolkowski Pat Harrington Dave Shelbourne Chico Kurzawski Mike Adamle Bob Olson SE LT LG C RG RT TE QB LH RH FB DEFENSE LE LT LLB MG RLB RT RE LCB LS RS RCB (89) (74) (70) (88) (66) (52) (65) (49) (16) (12) (14) John Cornell Bill Galler Frank Mullins Mark Proskine Joel Hall Ray Forsthoffer Don Ross Mike Hudson Dennis White Rich Dean Rich Field LE LT RT RE OLB ILB ILB OLB HB HB S -Daily-Andy Sacks WOLVERINE FULLBACK Garvie Craw, known 'more for his blocking than his running, rips off a good gain in Michigan's 33-20 win over Minnesota.

All bf this could lead one to believe that maybe the Wildcats really are a pretty bad football team, but their record earlier in Grid frosh get fast start, whip Bowling Green, 43-6 Their fifth loss, following sound drubbings by the Irish, Hurricanes, Boilermakers and Trojans, was a heartbreaking 45-21 screamer to Ohio State. The Wildcats held the Buckeyes to a tie through three quarters before the Yolumbus jug- gernaut ripped through their de- fense for four fourth-period scores. So last week Northwestern was probably due for a letdown and it couldn't have come at amore oportunte time. Now the Wildcats have had a chance to regroup be- hind Dave Shelbourne their sur- prising sophomore quarterback, and are reportedly approaching a rabid state for today's battle with our high-flying Wolverines. Michigan, by contrast, goes in- to the contest in better shape then they've enjoyed all year, lacking only cornerback Brian Healy from the lineup which has started since the Duke game. The Wolverines have been in- creasingly impressive in every game they have played since losing to California in the season opener. They have played in two straight homecoming contests, whipping Indiana in Blooming- .. daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: PHIL BROWN . ~ Special to. The Daily BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - If there were a Rose Bowl for fresh- man football teams, the novice Michigan gridders would have a solid chance to go. Last night the Wolverine frosh went to Bowling Green and anni- hilated the injury-riddle Falcons, 43-6. Michigan piled up a 30-0 half- time lead on the passing of Den- nis Connel and the running of Billy Taylor,, Connell struck late in the first quarter on a 13-yard pass to Tom Huskins for the first Michigan score. On the first play ' after the kickoff Mike Taylor recovered a fumble on the Falcon 18. After a seven-yard pass to Mike Oldham, 'Taylor ran for the Score. Taylor's second score came on a one-yard run, the big play in the drive being a 32-yard pass from. Connel to Glenn Doughty. The defense, while .holding Bowling Green to only one first down in the half, managed to get in the scoring themselves. With 3:28 left in the second quarter, Taylor, Alden Carpenter and Tom Carpenter tackled BG quarter- back ;Dick Davis in his own end zone for a safety. Michigan's fourth touchdown came with only 40 second left in the half on Bruce Elliott's 21-yard strike to Bob Rosema. Reserves took over for the most part in the second half but looked as good as their first-string coun- terparts as Elliott scored two touchdowns in the third quarter. The final Wolverine score_ camne in the fourth quarter on Preston Henry's short run. Dana! Coin contributed by boot- ing five out of six conversion at- 'tempts. Bowling Green finally got on the scoreboard in the final period on Stu Shestina's toss to Finis Daily. The frosh play Toledo in two weeks at Ann .Arbor High School. Toledo played Bowling Green ear- lier in the season and came away with a 43-12 victory. ton and mauling the Minnesota Gophers last week in the friend- lier confines of Michigan Sta- dium. Dennis Brown continues to thrill Wolverine fans with his op- tion plays while Ron Johnson baters opposing. lines for moun- tains of yardage, very possibly en hout to an All-America berth. The sum of these factors should logically be a victory for Michigan in a scrappy, and possibly close game. But Michigan coach Bump Elliott sees things just a little dif- ferently. Elliott has been brooding about Northwestern for weeks, seeing the makings of an upset in the developing situation. And if there could be a classic upset situation, this would have to be a prime example. FIVE STRAIGHTk After five consecutive victories, three of them over some of the Big Ten's toughest teams, the Wolverines may be due for the same kind of letdown that almost did the Wildcats in against Wis- consin. "Our biggest problem will be in getting up for this game," Elliott remarked early in the week. "We simply can't afford any kind of letdown. We think we have to. win every game we have left before we can even think of anything else." The "else" obviously refers to a trip west over the Christmas vacation, but Elliott and his as- sistant coaches are reluctant to admit entertaining even the vaguest thoughts of a bowl bid. "We know ' that Northwestern is a good football team," Elliott continued. "They're especially tough defensively, and we'll have to move the ball to hope to win." Moving the ball has been a Michigan forte of late, with the early score another Wolverine trademark. Michigan scored the first time the team got the ball against both Indiana and Mich- igan State, and the second time against Minnesota. It will be worth watching today to see if the Wolverines can serveI up some first-quarter lightningI for the Wildcats. If not, the game could revert to a defensive stand- off likes last year's battle between these long-time rivals. Michigan won 7-3 last season. The contest boils down to a battle of " attitude" or "team spirit." __________________ --_______---------------'"---.-'.----,-'---'- EMPHASIZE CONDITIONING: Cagers run toward opener Michigan on paper is good enough to defeat the Wildcats by three touchdowns, but they face Northwestern in a homecoming situation which could easily change everything.

By BILL CUSUMANO The opening game of basketball season is still a month away, but the Wolverine cagers have been at their task since October 15. Yesterday coach Johnny Orr unveiled his troops for the first; time in a f u 11 intrasquad scrimmage, complete with officials. While the group that can gener- ally be considered the first string- ers rolled up 105 points, the score really doesn't matter as the work- out was used more as a prdving ground for the coaches. Court mentors Orr and F r e d Snowden were trying to get an idea as to the extent of the team's progress to this date and came off well pleased. They have in- stituted a running offense that requires a well conditioned team and yesterday's performance showed, that If "nothing else the players are in good shape. Assistant coach Snowden felt that the squad demonstrated good conditioning considering how long they have been in practice and that this was particularly impres- sive since they "did well after a tough week of practice."' Practice has been tough because to play the' barnburning, fast break styleof basketball requires players with great endurance. Snowden points out that it is the type of game that "needs a lot of work" and is something that the team must gradually work up to. Michigan fans will remember that running was not the Wolver- ines' forte last year, but a change can be expected in the upcoming season. The coaches feel that their material is geared to a breaking attack, especially in the case of the big men. Dennis Stewart, Rudy Tomjano- vich and Bob Sullivan are all par- ticularly quick for their size and demonstrated this speed yester- day. ullivan and Stewart were both hitting the outlet passes for the break and still managing to fill the lanes on the way down court. And, of course, the ability of Tomjanovich to clear the boards along with the other two is also an essential factor. To run a break, though, a 'team also needs fast guards who can handle the ball, and Ken Maxey and Dan Fife fit the bill yester- day. Both were triggering easy lay- ups fr6m their key positions in the middle of the break. When not running the team also demonstrated an ability to handle a pattern offense which leaves the way open to such free lancing as the backdoor and one-orb-one moves. The offense is a multiple affair with room for a lot of action either off a pivot man or without one. Actually, it is a combination of a no-pivot offense devised by Orr and a pivot attack developed by Snowden. By December 2, Michigan should be able to present a new act in the Events Building other than some faceless concert performer. SPONSORED BY U-M YOUNG DEMOCRATS Students for Vivian, Frontlash '68.
