As he walked off the Tartan Turf in Michigan Stadium after yesterday's practice, Schembechler discussed his latest worry, "The :iuarterbacks are having trouble getting the ball to the receivers and when they do, the receivers are dropping the ball.

Schembechler indicated that he intended to go to the air a lot more than the 11 times his quar-._ terbacks passed against Vanderbilt in the 42-14 blitzkrieg. "But I'm not promising any- thing.

Allen got his chance to start when the regular halfback, T o in Love, was injured during a pre- game practice session. Love will have a real battle getting his old job back as Allen gained an im- pressive 113 yards in 28 carries. Allen is hardly as powerful a runner as Love--he weighs only 161 pounds. But he compensates for his lack of size with whippet speed, and amazing moves that leave tacklers grasping air in- stead of shoulder pads. OFF THE FIELD, Allen is an articulate, polite young man who is confident both about himself and his future. "I'd like to play pro-ball, of course, but if that's not in the cards for me, then I'll teach- phys ed, sports, something like that. "It's always possible that I might be injured but I don't let that bother me too much. If I were unable to continue playing I guess I would interest myself in new areas and concentrate in them. I would continue college, of course. Allen admits that his decision to attend Michigan State was influenced mainly by his high school coach, T. L. Smith of Georgetown's Howard High. "In high school, my coach was enthused about my going to State from the beginning. Even when I daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: CHRIS TERAS was a sophomore he contacted Cal Stoll (former MSU assistant coach who is now head coach at Wake Forest) and all during my high school career they kept in touch. After I graduated every- thing worked out just right and I was able to go to State. I con- sidered Purdue, also, but my coach's enthusiasm for State swayed my decision. I'm very hap- py that I made the decision that I did." Not surprisingly, Allen is quite Daly-Eri(e Pergeii (;o(ch Bo Scliembecl eir :nthusiastlc about this year's Spartan team. "We've got a strong team. This new triple op- tion offense-we can really make it go. We can score 40 points a half wlth it. We scored 82 points in the green and white game this spring. And remember, the white defense was familiar with the kind of offense we run. This isn't going to be ti'ue of some of the teams th,,t we'll be playing against this fall. I think we could do as well against them as we did in the spring." LAST WEEK'S GAME with Washington fell somewhat short of Allen's expectations. In explan- ation Allen said, "The first four minutes there was no problem, things were going just like we wanted. But then, little incidents -fumbles and things-really hurt us. You can't fumble on the 4 yard line and not be hurt." Asked if Coach Daugherty had put the Spartans through any sort of preparation in order to prevent fumbl-s, Allen replied, "No, we don't have any sort of special drill for fumbles. We don't worry about them. It's just a matter of hang- ing on to the ball at the right time." ONLY THREE members of the Spartan squad are faster than Alen. flanker Herb Washington, who holds a world record in 50 yard dash, and defensive backs Harold Phillips and Clifton Hardy. Allen, who has never run a 100 yard dash for time, runs the 40 'n about 4.5 or 4.6 seconds. Mlen gives a lot of credit for h s success to his high school coach. "He gave lots of training and helped a lot. Now, I don't liv° 'o think about anything, it =ust comes naturally." The Spartans will get a big boost from the play of Eric Allen. Michi- ran State has not had a legitimate breakaway threat-almost a re- "ui-ement of the triple-option of- tense--since the days of Clinton Jones. While Jones represents the powerful as well as the speedy ball-carrier, little Sherman Lewis who achieved All-American status at a svelte 155 pounds, seems to b: a closer parallel to the Allen style. Both Lewis and Jones made it to the professional ranks, with t h e Giants and the Vikings, respec- tively. Allen promises to do as well.
