Big
Ten
bloodbath
commences
By ELLIOTT BERRY
The helmeted animals will
stand and glare menacingly at
their prospective victims. Then
suddenly at the sound of a
single shrill whistle they rush
to brutally beat, kick and slam
any helpless soul in their path.
And their brutal tactics at.-
tract thousands of hysterically
screaming students caught up in
the awful violence.
This has been a common
place occurrence long before the
South University, Peoples' Park,
and Chicago debacles. As a mat-
ter of fact it has been an in-
timate part of the fall collegiate
scene in the Midwest since the
turn of the century, from Field-
ing Yost to Douglas Harvey.
This organized student vio-
lence which has c o m e to be
known as Big Ten football gets
underway again this afternoon
at nine spots across the nation
and should provide enough
headknocking to satisfy Mayor
Daley.
The meanest and roughest of
lie Big Ten establishment to
et started today just might
lurn out to be Michigan State.
In a surprising change of form
Spartan head coach Duffy
l)augherty is beaming with op-
i nism about his Green Giants;
optimism which he was reluc-
ant to admit even for his super
rams of '65 and '66. But sure
enough Duffy is bubbling. "This
year's team compares favorably
with the '66 squad in a few
areas." he noted.
Today the unheralded Wash-
ington Huskies come to Spartan
Stadium to see if Duffy's Spar-
tans are for real. Indeed, if
Michigan State is half as good
as the tricky little Irishman
says they are, the Huskies, who
finished dead last in the Pacific
Eight Conference last season,
are in for a rough afternoon.
A huge Spartan front f o u r
led by Gary Nowak and Ron
Curl, and a fierce set of line-
backers returning the likes of
Don Law, Ken Little and Rich
Saul (who will not start but is
ready to play) should be quite
enough to handle the strong
running of Husky backs Harvey
Blanks and Bob Cornell.
The secondary, with Jay Bres-
lin as the only letterman, is the
weak link in the Spartan de-
fense but the seemingly inept
passing game of the Huskies
should not threaten the green
defenders.
The Huskies will, however,

ball on crucial drives that vas

season.

about his defense, noting "This
is the best group I've had here
at Indiana." While that may
well be the case it by no means
implies there is not room for
great improvement. F o r since
arriving in Bloomington two
years ago offense has been
Pont's breadwinner often in
spite of the defense.
This afternoon that offense
should be stronger than ever.
With hard running fullback
Hank Pogue to compliment Is-
enbarger in the ground game,
and talented junior split e n d
Eric Stolberg to ease the pres-
sure on veteran flanker J a d e
Butcher, a healthy Gonso is
likely to have a field day with
the Wildcat's mediocre defense.
At Madison, Wisconsin stu-
dents are likely to witness their
second bloody confrontation of
the year. This time, however, it
will be Oklahoma dishing out
the beating instead of the Na-
tional Guard.
This season's slightly improv-
ed Badger team has little chance
of providing coach John Coatta
with his first victory in two
years. The Sooners come into
town ranked among the nation's
top ten teams.
Highlighted by Heisman Tro-
phy candidate halfback Steve
Owens, the Sooners sport an
awesome offensive machine. If
somehow the Badger defense
can rise to stop Owens they still
have one of the nation's t o p
sophomore quarterbacks to con-
tend with in Oklahoma's J a c k
Mildren.
The beleaguered Badger of-
fense shows little hope of pene-
trating the huge front wall of
the Sooners with enough regu-
larity to match what Owens and
Co, can put on the scoreboard.
It would take direct participa-
tion by the campus SDS to halt
Coatta's winless streak.
The outlook is only slightly
better for the haples Northwes-
tern Wildcats who have an un-
enviable opening date with
Notre Dame at South Bend.
The Irish offense is thinner
and greener than any that
Coach Ara Parseigian has hand-
led since he took John Huarte
off the bench upon his arrival
at Notre Dame.
Nevertheless, the Irish figure
to go a long way on the gift-
ed arm of junior quarterback
Joe Theismann and the thun-
dering slants of fullback Jeff

whelming favorite. over the
Wildcats.
About the only bright spot
for Northwestern mentor Alex
Agase is his junior quarter-
back Dave Shelbourne who was
third in total offense in t h e
conference last season. Un-
fortunately the Wildcat offense
begins and ends with Shelbourne.
Iowa and Illinois represents
two refreshingly new faces
among Big Ten contenders and
both have excellent opportuni-
ties to get off to big starts
against two of the Pacific
Eight's weaker sisters.
Iowa takes on Oregon State
xxho was demolished last week-
end by UCLA 37-0. The rejuven-
ated Hawkeyes have the offen-
sive punch to give the Beavers
more of the same. Junior quar-
terback Larry Lawrence is the
focal point of the, well balanced
attack with setbacks Danny
Gunner and Levi Mitchell car-
rying the bulk of the ground
game.
The Hawkeye defense is'sus-
pect but it is unlikely to get
much of a test from Oregon
State's impotent attack.
Illinois coach Jim Valek is
determined to get back into the
running with a sophomore quar-
terback, and against Washing-
ton State he just might be suc-
cessful. The Cougars finished
7th in the Pacific Eight last
season an'd they may have to
fight hard to do that well this
year.
Like seemingly everyone else.
the Illini are putting their hop-
es on a triple option offense.
Today, with a little luck they
will equal their total number
of wins in 1968.
Arizona State ,at the bottom
of the nation's top 20 grid pow-
ers, plays host to Minnesota in
what could turn out to be the
closest contest of the day. Ari-
zona State returns almost every-
one from its 8-2 team which
finished second to Wyoming in
the Western Athletic Confer-
ence last season. State is led by
halfback Art Malone, who runs
a 9.6 hundred.
Minnesota is headed by sig-
nal caller Phil Hager. coming
off a mediocre junior season.
Because half of their team is
sophomores the Gophers are a
slight underdog.
however, Anderson, now a junior, will see less -of the middle as MSU
command his team from a triple-option offense.

. seniors prognosticate
Calm down now.
We realize that viewing the Big Ten grid predictions of the Daily
sports editors has put you into such a fit of excitement that you just
embraced your roommate (hopefully you're in a coed dorm). Still and
all, try to contain that urge to go tearing down the hall naked scream-
ing, "Those stupid idiots did it again" until you have at least heard
the reasons for our astute revelations.
'he prognosticating of the sports editors is conducted with very
serious consideration for all aspects of the problem. We realize that
these choices will be taken for at least the worth of two grains of salt,
and so we devote our utmost energies towards providing an accurate
appraisal of what we think will happen this season.
A quick glance at the results will immediately make one thing
apparent - we could agree on about nothing. The only team which
received unanimous blessings of the editors was Illinois. However, it
is dubious that the team will take much delight in knowing they
should finish eighth in the conference.
The prediction for the Wolverines is much more hazy, especially
after all their injuries. One radical editor. though, still bellows "The
Maize and Blue forever," as he chose Michigan to top the conference.
Another of the prognosticators seemed much more pessimistic as she
commented, "They'll be lucky if they mpke fifth place." And yet a
third wizard refused to justify his fourth place prediction. "I don't
think those sort of things are fit to print in a decent paper like the
Daily," were his words.
No matter what the thinking for the Wolverines, the idea that
the Buckeyes would at least finish up in the standings was unanimous
with three first-place predictions and a couple of second-place guesses.
Knowing how ebullient Coach Woody Hayes is, he will undoubtedly
mutter, "So?" when he finds out he's favored to repeat as Big Ten
leader,
The closest battle in the conference will certainly be for the
most cherished post 'cellar dweller.' The raging battle to see who
makes the most mistakes. Northwestern or Wisconsin, should be
closely decided in favor of the hapless Badgers. After all, a team
which hasn't won a game in three years certainly wouldn't want to
spoil its record.
One of the writers on the staff, however, was skeptical of the
editor's ability to properly judge the potentials of the teams "since
they haven't even seen that much of the Wolverines, with Schem-
bechlr's closed practices and alt"
The editors. thousgh, feel that their four years of astute ob-
servation of Big Ten football qualifies them to at least throw in their
