Page Seven Saturday, November 9, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, November 9, 1968 THE MICHIGAN DALY Page Seven I High powered Wolverines face low powered Illini 0 By ANDY BARBAS "The only way we're going to stop Michigan is to shoot Ron * Johnson as he comes out the lock- erroom," exclaimed Illinois' coach Jim Valek. Assuming, Coach Valek foregoes that strategy, the only one to be murdered this afternoon should be the Illini football team. "We have absolutely no special ideas on how to stop Johnson."! Valek added. 'We'll just play our! normal defense and hope that! someone is able to shoot through to stop him." "As concerned as we are about Johnson, we'll still have to watch out for Dennis Brown." Coach Valek noted that "Besides being a threat as a passer, Brown can break loose around end." He then concluded, "Johnson and Brown are as good a one-two punch as anyone in the country."' Il inois in turn places all its hope on its own one-two punch, quarterback Bob Naponic and fullback Rich Johnson. The prob- lem with Naponic, though, is that he is finding it harder and harder to stay on his feet. "Bob's prob-j daily Sports .

He isn't as good a runner as Brown, and our front line isn't nearly as strong." Because of the pass rush against Illinois, Naponic has been dropped a total of 212 yards behind the line of scrim- mage. When Naponic has been able to get rid of the ball, the results still haven't been overwhelming. The Illini have only been able to score one touchdown this season by the aerial route. In addition, Naponic has had 11 of his passes picked off by enemy defenders.His comple- tion average has been a meager 44 per cent. Not all the blame, however, can be placed on Naponic. Coach Valek commented, "One of Bob's prob- lems is that he has no adequate receivers to catch the ball." Doug Dieken, the Illinois split end, leads the team in receptions with only 20, good for 212 yards. Halfback Bob Bess has grabbed a large share of the remainder of Naponic's passes, 13, one of which is the only touchdown pass com- pleted by the Illini this season. The tight end position is even weaker than the two other re- ceiving spots. Len Winslow started out the season at the spot, but was not an adequate blocker and was replaced by Doug Redman, a converted tackle. Illinois' biggest offensive threat is their fullback, Johnson. He leads the Illini rushers with 616 yards. Because of his threat as a runner on the draw play, he, has possibly kept Naponic from in- curring total doom at the hands of opposing pass rushers. Even with Johnson, the Illini have only gained 1142 yards rush- ing. Michigan's Ron Johnson is only 240 yards behind the whole Illinois team. Much of the blame for the im- potent Illinois offense eventually falls on the interior line. Besides losing Redman when he was con- verted to tight end, the line has been plagued with injuries. Coach Valek has been forced to go with inexperienced sophomores and non-lettermen to fill the holes. This scrounging around has left Illinois with almost none of the The line is just as weak as they have yielded 2067 yard on the ground. What is even worse is that their outstanding tackle, Tony Pleviak, has been playing on an injured leg and might not be able to play. Michigan, on the other hand, will be at nearly full . strength when they charge onto the field. Jerry Miklos is out with what has been called everything from the flu to mononucleosis. Brian Healey, a cornerback, has been out since the Minnesoca tilt. It is not known whether or not his shoulder will even be okay for the, Wiscon- sin and Ohio State contests. Safety Jerry Hartman has been shifted to Healy's cornerback spot, and Bob Wedge has been filling in for Hartman. Michigan is almost a three- touchdown favorite in today's game, and if Bump's Boys aren't looking ahead two weeks, this is probably not too far out of line. You play 'em one at a time, to coin a phrase, and Bump knows that a team thinking about the future is ripe for an upset. Even by Illinois. -Daily-Thomas R. Copi MICHIGAN'S RON JOHNSON charges through a hole in the Northwestern line for a gain in last week's victory over the Wildcats. Johnson, an All-America and Heismann trophy candidate, is rapid- ly closing in on Tom Harmon's all-time Michigan rushing record. Today he and Dennis Brown (22) lead the Wolverines against underdog Illinois in pursuit of a seventh straight victory. scout squads. These are the play- ers who learn the opponents for- mations in order for the first- stringers to become acclimated' with an opponent's style of play, As a result, the Illini have been coming into each game not know- ing exactly how to play against their opponent and have had to adjust during the game. Often, by. the time they've adjusted, they're too far behind to catch up. This problem is even more in- jurious to the defense, who don't have the slightest idea what it will be like to defend against the Wolverine offense. What's worse, the defense could be even worse off than the offense. The whole defense has been plagued with in- juries and the pass defense hasn't been anything to brag about when it's healthy. The pass defenders have only picked off three op- ponents passes, while allowing op- ponents to gain 969 yards through the air, RICH JOHNSON BADGERS; A TALE OF DEATH Purdue travels north to seek lost glory - By BILL DINNER Not so very long ago Purdue was headed for the Rose Bowl, and with it a Heisman trophy to halfback Leroy Keyes. But time has taken its toll, aside from the loss to Ohio State, Purdue has, suffered numerous injuries. Bob DeMoss was lowered into the coaching duties when' Jack Mollenkopf caught hepatitis. Star quarterback Mike Phipps was hurt last weekend' but will be back in action, not, . however, in top form. Even Keyes has been slowed down due to injuries. And for the Heisman trophy, It looks like it, floated out \the win- dow from Keyes with numerous fumbles against Wake Forest, and a less than good performance opposing OSU. Keyes has one chance to redeem himself as the Boilermakers face Minnesota to- day on national television. Last season Keyes rolled for three touchdowns against the . Gophers, and he seems ,deter-1 mined to tear the gophers defense to shreds.' Presently he is ranked1 13 in rushing, which may not be1 so unlucky, as keyes has run for over 700 yards.. Another bright spot, co-captain Chuck Kyle, has headed the de- fense averaging better than 12 tackles per game. Purdue's de-; fense, one of the nation's best, has ORGAN IZATION.
