Listen to this tale of romanceS
Tale of Indian warriors bold-
In the early morn of green leaves
Came they forth, the stoics valiant;
Forth they romped to paleface wigwam
Wigwam one of friendly great chief,
Came they forth to take their token,
Then to the mighty oak of Tappan
Dashed the screaming, yelling .redmen;
To the tree of Indian legend
Where the white men pale and trembling
Stood around the mighty oak tree
Warriors choice of paleface nation
Choice of tribe to run the gauntlet.
Down the warriors, painted demons
Swooped and caught their prey like eagles
Loud the war cry stirred the stillness
As they seized their hapless captives
Forth they bore them to their wigwam
There to torture at their pleasure.
There they are around the glowing bonf ires
Heard the words of mighty wisdom,
Smoked the pipe of peace and f riendsh i p.
Thus there came to Michigamua.. .

Backs strong* point for
Wolverine grid defense
A
By ELLIOTT BERRY
The Hula hoop, white socks, the
campus liberal, and now you can
add the shut-out defense to the
ong list of the once loved but pre-
sently defunct crazes.
"There's no college team around
that is going to get a lot of shut-
outs anymore," noted Michigan
head football coach, 'Bo' Schem-
bechler. "there are so many of-
fenses these days and coaches are
putting most' of the real versatile
athletes into their offenses."
All is not grim for the Wolver-
ines grid mentor, who admittedly
stresses defense over offense. In
fact, if there are any teams in the
Big Ten who have a chance of re-,
versing the trend toward the high-
scoring freewheeling offense, Sch-
embechler and his Wolverines
have to be among the top candi-
dates for the job.
Schembechler coached o n e of
the few teams in the nation to
yield less than 10 points per game
at Miami (O.) and he has insti-
tnted sweeping changes in t h e
Michigan defense this spring.
"Because of the many changes
brought by the new coaches some
of the veterans have progressed
somewhat slower than usual, but
it's just a matter of a little hesi-
tation which will be overcome
when they become thoroughly fa-
miliar with the system," explain-
ed Schembechler"
One of the major changes in
the defensive alignment will be
the initiation of a roverback, a po-
sition used successfully by many
other teams in which one member
of the secondary is allowed great
freedom to float with the- play.
glowingly, "The kid loves to hit."
The most serious problem fac-
ing the defense right now is at
the tackle positions. Letterman
Dan Parks has been out for much
of spring practice with a bad ank-

ed over to help out at tackle and

DON'T PACK
I F YOU'RE CO'MING'I
By ERIC SIEGEL
After his armies had stormed
through the Georgia countryside,
emerging battle-scarred and com-
bat weary, General Sherman was
led to remark philosophically,
"War is hell!"
It was, to say the least, an un-
derstatement.
After his track team had storm-
ed down the Ferry Field Freeway,
emerging triumphant and eager
for battle, Assistant Coach Ken
Burnley was led to remark jubil-
antly, "We're starting to look like
a track team!"
This, too, was an understate-
ment.
In their first two confrontations
of the outdoor season - at Lex-
ington two weeks ago and 1 as t
weekend in Ann Arbor - the
Wolverine cindermen were v e r y
impressive, wasting no time in
opening up with their rapid-fire
artillery.
In their Lexington opener, the
Wolverines placed an entry among
the top five in seven events while
the Ann Arbor outing netted the
thinclads six firsts, an equal num-
ber of seconds, and seven third
place finishes.
After being in the thick of the
battle at Lexington and complete-
ly blasting their opponents off the
track in Ann Arbor, the Wolver-
ine thinclads will have the op-
portunity for some more target
practice in the next two weekends,
with successive forays at the Ohio
State Relays in Columbus and the
Penn Relays in the city of Bro-
therly Love.
The Wolverines will have more
than ample competition in these
dred at the Ann Arbor Relays,
crossing the tape ahead of Mich-
igan's Gene Brown and Sol Es-
pie, who registered respective se-
cond and third place finishes.
The Penn Relays will feature a
host of formidable sprinters. Vil-
lanova has Olympic sprinters Lar-
ry James, Irv Hall and Frank
Murphy to help them defend their
five relay championships, w h i l e
Florida A&M, who has won the
440 relay the past four years, once
again has a speedy foursome en-
tered. Richard Flowers, the Uni-
versity of Tennessee star, will al-
so compete.
But even against this formidable
competition, the Wolverine sprint-
men should do well. In addition to
Espie and Brown in the 100, Mich-
igan presents a strong front in the
440 relay. The Wolverine quarter-
mile quartet grabbed off first
place in the Ann Arbor Relays,
with a 41.7 clocking, and they
seem to get better every time they
step on the track.
The Wolverines also have con-
siderable ammunition in the sprint
medly and the mile relay, which
includes standouts such as Lor-
enzo Montgomery, Leon Grund-
stein, and Paul Armstrong.
