Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, October 1, 1969 Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY Football-Doughty's one love By DAVE BEEMON They lurk everywhere. Big, thick-chested boys, their T-shirts bulging . . . wearing sneakers. It's a common sight in the lobbies of that institution decorated in modern 50's dormitory style: South Quadrangle. Incarcerated in this nightmare of blond wood paneling and rip- pled glass windows (with a few potted plants) is a special group of fellows: Glenn Doughy and his friends. Judging by their size, one wouldn't be at all surprised if the majority played football. Doughty himself (a smaller specimen, at 6'2", 190 pounds) is, indeed, a football player. For the past two weeks the sophomore tailback, number 22, has been ripping, skipping, and tipping through enemy defenses with apparent ease, rushing for 329 yards in two games. He appears to be faster and quicker (from one reporter'sI viewpoint) the Ron Johnson ever was. Against 7k eWa/l Garvie Craw- min, ire the shadows By ERIC SIEGEL Sometime around the middle of last October, when the Michigan football team was beginning to gell and people were starting to think about a January vacation in Pasadena, Garvie Craw was saying that Ron Johnson is a great runner. A few days ago, after the Michigan football t e a m had thrashed its first two foes in convincing style and football was beginning to experience its annual fall revival, Garvie Craw was saying that Glenn Doughty, too, is a great runner. Craw is well qualified to judge the ability of these two men. As the starting fullback for the Wolverines the past two sea- sons, he has probably had as much opportunity as anyone on the team to observe the skills of these two nimble halfbacks at close range. He has also probably had more to do with their success. THE BIG MAN inside jersey number 48, regarded by many as one of the finest blocking backs in college football, earned his reputation helping to clear a path for the Wolverines' break- away backs. Countless times Craw's right shoulder, strategically rammed somewhere between a defender's shoulder blade and his abdomen, has helped Johnson and, more recently, Doughty, get an extra five yards, score a touchdown or break into the open field for a long gain. If statistics were kept on blocking, Craw would undoubtedly have more busted heads to his credit than one of Sheriff Harvey's deputies. Craw says that Doughty is ."quicker to leave his blockers and go off on his own" than Johnson was, but he doesn't think this difference in the running style of Doughty, the shifty soph- omore who is threatening to wear out Don Canham's new carpet by mid-season, and Johnson, the Wolverines' super-halfback of last season who is now playing the role of super-rookie for the Cleveland Browns of the NFL, will-force him to change his style of blocking. I'll probably be blocking the exact same way for Glenn as I did for Ron last year," Craw said. "The concept of blocking is really pretty basic." Apparently, the basics of blocking to Garvie Craw are 1) run out to meet the defender head-on and 2) knock him down and out of the play. BUT CRAW IS MORE than just a good blocker; he is also a consistent one. As one observer in the press box remarked early in the third quarter of last Saturday's game against Washing- ton, after Craw had cleared the way for Doughty's 21-yard jaunt around the right side of the Huskies' line, "I've yet to see an end sweep where-Craw hasn't taken his man out of the play." Craw has been taking opposing linebackers and defensive halfbacks out of plays since mid-season of his sophomore year, when he broke into the starting lineup for the first time. But although his blocking has gone from shin-shattering to bone- crushing in the intervening period, he has played in the shadows of the same people he has helped thrust into the limelight. THIS SEASON, HOWEVER, Craw was expected to run more often as Coach Bo Schembechler instituted an option T offense. Ironically, though, two of the untested members of the Wolver- ines' new offense-Doughty and junior quarterback Don Moor- head-are performing even better than their predecessors. Craw has thus not been called on to run the ball as frequently as had been expected, and is, once again, in the shadow of those who follow him down field. In the Washington game, too, Mr. Reliable picked up some important yardage, even though he only carried ten times for a total of 17 yards. With 6:51 gone in the first quarter, for example, Craw crashed off tackle for three yards and a first down inside the Huskies' ten. Moorhead then hit tight end Jim Mandich on the next play for a seven yard TD pass. Then in the second quartr of the same game, with the ball on the Washington four. Craw ran the ball down to the three, then the half yard line, before Moorhead, after faking to Craw, took the ball around right end for the score. MOORHEAD, WHO SCORED on that play again later in the game, commented afterwards, "They were looking for Garvie up the middle -again, so an end-around was a good bet. I scored on that play twice during the Vanderbilt game, too, and we'll probably be using it again this season." But despite the value of Craw's running on key plays, and his value as a decoy, the Michigan fullback's forte is still blocking. But his expertise on the ability of blocking backs is a bit suspect. "Besides being a great runner, Glenn (Doughty) is also the best blocking back on the team," Craw said awhile ago. I don't know about that, Garvie. Not with you in there, anyway. For precisely this r e a s o n, Doughty was being confronted by a Daily reporter in the dining room of South Quad (gleaming aqua wall tiles and stainless steel hardware). Doughty was wearing a faded short sleeve sweatshirt. An hour of questions and an- swers followed, the reporter ob- viously being influenced by super- ficial first impressions. However, one impression was so glaring it had to be accurate - Glenn Doughty's whole life centers on football. Said Doughty, "I've wanted to make the pros since I was born. It's my major goal in life. I love it that much. You have to love the game if you want to succeed in it. If I didn't dig football I wouldn't be in college." A very honest comment the re- porter scratched his head,. Not every football player will admit that he's in college primar- ily to play football. Doughty ad- mits that the college game is getting more professional all the time, but he likes t that way. It's no surprise that Doughty's idol is found among the ranks of professional football. Namely, a Mr. Dick Butkus +middle line- backer for the Chicago Bears). Said Doughty (with a kind look in his eyess, "The man, to me, is the ideal player. He has the meanness, aggressiveness, a n d animalistic characteristics that a football player should have. The Paul Armstrong, a senior from Ferndale, Michigan, has been elected captain of the 1970 Michigan track team. Arm- strong, a two-year letterman, runs the 660- and 880-yard runs and is a member of the two-mile relay team. daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: JOE MARKER man is out of sight . . my hero." To many people, it may sound strange to hear a running back' like Doughty idolize the human animal, Butkus. However, Doughy ty's obsession is not unfounded. In high school (Detroit Pershing) he not only played running back, but also middle linebacker. Doughty likes to hit. He also goes to class (a phy- sical education major thinking about switching to business), and finds little time for anything else. Doughty likes his surroundings. "Ann Arbor is quite different from Detroit. Number one, t h e hippies; number two, the prices; and number three, the place is tight, crowded. But .. . I like the professors. They seem to have a genuine interest in you . . . and I like the people, they're nicea.,; thei'e aren't too many radicals." Doughty elaborated on t h e "hippies" (after some prodding), "The hippies are genuine. Some- times you don't know if they're fags or straight . . . but they're not phonies. It's their thing. If they want to do that--go ahead." Doughty himself is pretty straight. He admits that to be a football player you have to be. Coach Bo Schembechler is pretty strict on two counts: no drinking or smoking. But Doughty doesn't mind, "I don't do any of that stuff anyway." Politically, Doughty calls him- self "middle of the road". "I'm content. I don't have any reason to go one way or the other." Enough interrogation. It was clear that Doughty wanted to talk about one thing - football. He attributes his abilities to God, and his success in the past two games to the Michigan line. "You wouldn't be talking to me if it wasn't for them." He insisted on giving a plug for his parents, "My mother and father have been my guiding light. They always kept my head on the ground and always stuck by me. I got the best in the world." From All-State honors in high school, "Ya, I made all that stuff," he was recruited to Michigan. With that, Doughty left for his room, perhapsto study, perhaps to talk football with his room- mate, Butch Carpenter. The re- porter gathered his notes to- gether and thought for a while. Doughty was obviously preoccup- ied with football. He didn't have time for other things. No protest- ing, picketing, or sitting in. He said, "I'm not involved in any of those things." He didn't even have time for playing around. But on the other hand, he's doing his thing (excuse the phrase) . . . and loving it. Per- haps this is enough to make some people very jealous of Mr. Glenn Doughty. -Daily--Jay Cassidy SOPhOMORE RUNNING BACK Glen Doughty (22) breaks loose from a pack of Washington de- fenders in Saturday's 45-7 rout of the Huskies. Doughty blitzed the huge Huskies' defense for 191 yards in 29 carries, as the Wolverines sailed to their second straight victory of the season. In his first varsity game two weeks ago he garnered 138 yards in 15 carries giving him a total of 324 yards gained, fourth in the nation. PLAY-OFF WITH METS: Braves ATLANTA ,41-The red-hot At- lanta Braves captured the National' League Western Division cham- pionship yesterday, cutting down Cincinnati 3-2 with a two-run seventh inning rally capped by Rico Carty's tie-breaking sacrifice f~y. The Braves' 10th consecutive victory gave them a three-game lead over second place San Fran- cisco with two to play, mathema- tically ousting the Giants. Carty's fly to right sent Felix Millan scampering home with the run that gave ace knuckleballer Phil Niekro his 23rd victory of the season--including six straight over the hard-hitting Reds. Hoyt Wilhelm, the 46-year-old relief specialist obtained by At- lanta for the September stretch drive, stymied the Reds over the land Western title last two innings after Niek, o. 23- 13, left the game for a pinch hit- ter in the big seventh. The Reds raked Niekro for four hits in the fifth-Lee May's lead- off double and singles by Woody Woodward, Pete Rose and Tommy Helms--to score twice for a 2-1 edge. The Braves cane back when Mike Lum opened the home sev- enth with a sinle to center and Ralph Garr, batting for Nie'ro., walked. Wayne Granver. the Reds' rec- ord-setting bullpen ace, replaced starter Gary Nolan and got Felix Millan to bunt into a force at third. But Tony Gonzalez singled to left, scoring Garr to tie tihe game 2-2. and after Hank Aia on walked to fill the bases. Carty de- livered the winning sacrifice fly. - Ma; erLeague Standings :1.lIE;R[CA' LEAGUE NAION AL LEAGU'E Eastern D1ivision Eastern Division W 1.

Who would believe it even of uac. It seems the intrepid muggers succeeded in smuggling a spy into the closely guarded Daily training camp and didn't like the looks of a couple of 240-pound tackles they saw lounging about. So the mighty muggers begged a temporary(?) reprieve to revise their strategy. True to their code of offering a helping hand to the downtrodden, the Daily Libels granted their petition even in the face of such blatent larceny, secure in the knowledge of their ultimate superiority. But never fear, faithful gridde pickers. The wonderous wizards that nightly inhabit the Daily sports department have come up with an equally important battle in its place. Instead of having to pick the Libels as obvious favorites, you'll get a chance to test your skill on the likes of Moravian versus Wilkes. Just submit your pick for that one along with the winners of the other nineteen games of the week to the Daily office by midnight Friday, and win yourself a delicious Cottage Inn pizza to celebrate the Wolverines' triumph over the Missouri Tigers and the Libels eventual victory over the Muggers.

Missouri at MICHIGAN (pick score) ANAHEIM (U'-The California Angels re-hired Harold "Lefty" Phillips as their manager for 1970 yesterday, and he immediately in- dicated a desire to acquire Richie Allen or some other heavy hitter for his American League baseball club. Phillips, 50. took over the field generalship of the Angels last May 27 from Bill Rigney, with the club languishing last in the Weste-n Division with an 11-28 record. His club played .50Q ball since then and currently, at 71-88, has third place clinched. Salar.y teims for the one-year pact were not revealed. Gene Autry, the Angels' board chair- man, said, "We haven't even talk- ed salary. There was so much prophesying on whether Lefty would be back, we decided to make the announcement that we would go with him again." 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
