That phrase is perhaps most thought of in a show business con- text, but it certainly applies to the offensive unit of last year's football team. Led by Ron John- son and Dennis Brown, neither of whom will return next year, that team amassed over 27 points a game en route to a surprisingly successful season. It will be the job of h ea d coach "Bo" Schembachler a n d his staff to erase the memory of that team from the minds of Wolverine supporters. Despite be- ing left a large number of exper- ienced players, they do not expect to find this an easy task. In the words of offensive' coordinator Jerry Hanlon, the chief problem, will be "right up the middle," where Michigan finds it greatestt lack of experience. The problem begins at center, where Tim Killian will attempt tok make the adjustment from line- backer. The coaches are pleased with the progress he is making, but emphasize that he has a lot to learn about the new position. When Killian snaps the ball, he will be giving it to a basically in- experienced quarterback who will have to develop quickly if he iss to lead the attack effectively. Don Moorhead and Jim Betts are the' two leading candidates for thej job, with Moorhead having limited game experience at the position and Betts even less. Both have the potential to be fine quarterbacks but must overcome the lack of ex- perience to be successful. The fullback, Garvie Craw, pre- sents a different sort of a ques- tion.

Coach Schembechler has been pleased with Craw's ball-car- rying this spring, and the f u 1I- back position looks fairly solid. The biggest problem of all is to find a replacement for Johnson, who holds nearly every Wolver- ine rushing record.

MOLIMI - ......BobLees A return .. . to say goodbye A couple of days ago a guy came up to me in the UGLI and shouted, "A molimo is a pygmy crisis ceremony!" I just kind of nodded and smiled, He was right, of course. It's been several months now since that weird stock head you see above appeared on these pages. In that space of time, I have been devoting my life to academe -- you know, booking, papers, and that stuff, Of course, I haven't neglected Thursday night drinking bouts. and there have been other diversions which have more than filled my time. Ah, yes . Anyway, as any - if any - devoted readers of these columns know, sports has not been exactly my major preoccupation. Oh, when I did covers, or wrapups, or straight features, they were mostly about straight sporting events or people. They were fun, because that's what sports is for the spectator: amusement. And that is essentially what I tried to be in my stories: an interested observer, enjoying myself at sporting events and trying to convey to readers the interest and ex- citement I found- My columns were something else. i have tried in these dou- bleset lines to express feelings, events, and ideas I have, about the world in general, some interesting people I know, or anything which might strike responsive chords in people. . Because, you see, that is more the essence of the molimo. My roommates and I like to Joke around about -the molimo being a phallic-type symbol -- and in fact the pygmies of the Congo: jungle do use a long, hollow tube to help represent the spirit of the molimo. But that's Just the physical symbol. The, spirit of the molimo ceremony - which goes on nightly among the pygmies for months during the molimo season -- is one of life, of joy to be alive and at peace with one's environment. At that time, the pygmies give thanks to their rain forest for providing them with a bountiful existence, and everyone joins together in affirma- tion of their togetherness in this symbolic harmony. h~e pygmies love life; they live it fully and happily, never taking more from their environment than they need. No one who takes more than his share, either from the forest or from the community, is tol- erated. And the molimo ceremonies, which are celebrated at impor- tant times in the lives of community members as well as during the molimo season, are a continual affirmation of their joyous life. as I a 0 offers 8-month leases" * no pre-payment of last month's rent " damage deposit ($45) :responsibly administered " free 'parking *immediate handling of each complaint 0 0 reasonable rental rates WIN TW'O MATCHES: NVetmen swing in sunny south on duty CALL 763-3164 FOR DETAILS UNIVERSITY HOUSING OFFICE By BILL DINNER After a sunny trip down south this past weekend, where the Michigan tennis team convincing- ly trounced Purdue 9-0 and Illi- nois 8-1, the netters were ushered back~ to a constant drizzle which will hamper their practice for im- portant matches with Wisconsin and Northwestern this weekend. Yesterday's drizzles forced the netters to slip b a c k inside the dreary IM field house where they proceeded to smash some balls. Although the field house w a s dimly lit and agonizingly stuffy' the playful confident spirit of the team was not stifled. Tennis Coach Bill Murphy was pleased with the attitude of the team and feels that "they have a decent shot at the Big Ten crown."~ Purdue, who finished last in the Big Ten last season, showed little improvement this year and t h e Wolverines encountered few dif- I 3011 Student Activities Building I CLIFF'S NOTES ficulties in mowing down the Boilermakers. The only loss -against the Illini on Saturday was suffered by Dick Dell who took three sets before b o w i n g to a determined Ed Thompson.. Thompson seems to have devel- oped into a nemesis for the net- ters. Two years ago he gave Dell a scare before falling in three sets and last year he chalked up the only Illinois victory against the Wolverines when he_ b e a t Pete' IFishbach. In the second singles slot Fish- bach defeated Chip Clements 6-4, 6-3 in a hard fought match. Brian Marcus had some trou- ble in the second set but fought back to beat Tom Dunlap 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. IAlthough the netters ran into some difficulties with the singles Imatches, the doubles team worked beautifully. Marcus and Fishbach downed Thompson and Clements 6-4, 6-0, Mark Conti and Dell wal- loped their opponents 6-1, 6-0, and Jon Hiainline and Dan McLaughlin took the third doubles 6-2, 6-3. Murphy's main concern was Iwith their upcoming matches.

They aren't sports topics, to be sure, but to me they were worthy, So that's what MOLIMO means. As far as the column title as a whole goes -- well, my roommates and I have been jointly and singly, known as The Truckin' Molimos for several years now. We first heard the story of the molimo in an introductory anthropology course, and it took us by storm. It wasn't long until we too had our, molimo stick, and went around bellowing the spirit of the rain forest. The Truckin' bit isn't as complicated. Have you ever heard an old-time dirty folk song called "Truckin' Mama?" Well, as a country boy, I had first heard it years ago in the hills of West Virginia. Dono- van, though, cleaned it up and sang it on his Catch the Wind album. The first lines in this bowdlerized version go: Just keep on truckin', mama, truckin' your blues away! Keep on truckin', mama, truckin' till the break of day. You can imagine, if you like, what the real words were like. Just try it out on your old kazoo sometime. So that's the story of The Truckin' MOLIMO. I've had fun, writ- ing just about what I wanted to, as well as meeting some fabulous people, especially within the sports scene. And this, my senior year, has truly been a fulfillment of my undergraduate scene, But that's it for now. Keep on truckin'.. 4 336 S.
