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.

Frogs' attack. Pont, however, is optimistic provide a good test for junior quarterback Bill Triplett and his triple option offense. "Owens (Washington head, coach Jimi always fields a strong defense and this year is no exception," noted Daugherty. While the Spartan offense has run wild in piractice, Triplett has yet to prove that he has overcome his tendency to give away the foot- ball on crucial drives that vas so costly to the Spartans last season.

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 Zimmerman.

This year quarterback Bill Triplett will defense the Irish are an over- 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.

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 1' ' Downtown 3 .
