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'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- le and is well behind schedule.

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. BACK !
