True, there will be 70.000 plus maniac football fans in Michigan Stadium surrounding theta, but' they won't be looking at the play- ers. Nor the coaches. Nor the band. Nor the mdale cheerleaders.

When asked why he shifted Hauck, a two-year starter at. the monster position, to his present r'ole, Pace replied, "No halfback." But if Paces defensive crew' liked The Rug, his offensive pla- toon will fall in love with it. Both Pace and Michigan coach Bo Schembechler have concurred that the "quickness" of the Tartan sur- face will give the edge to the of- ftenses. Schernbechler hopes to gain that edge with an unproven quarter- back, an untes ted wvingback, and a$ fullback that earned his keep help- ing Ron Johnson become an All- Aeialatya.The quarterback.
