Pen elope Pitstop perks up Moorhead 's play
By ROBIN WRIGHT
Associate Sports Editor
Ever wonder what a quarter-
back does on the morning before
a football game?
A Maybe preparatory drills.
Or last minute strategy sessions.
Or pep talks.
Nope. None of the above-at
least not until he enters the lock-
er room right before noon. s
Some of them - like Michi-
gan quarterback Don Moorhead-
spend their last free moments
watching cartoon shows on thej
boob tube.
Moorhead, who has passed and
run Michigan to three high scor-
ing wins and only one loss, relax-
es before each performance by
watching "Penelope Pitstop."
IT ALL BEGAN during his days
as understudy and roommate to
Dennis Brown, when their pre-
gamelaughs were elicited f r oa m
the "Banana Split Adventure
Hour."
As the 6'3", 200 pound junior
from South Haven explained, "It
releases us and takes our minds
off the game.

"It started out last year while
Denny and I were roommates
when the team stayed together in
a hotel before the game," he ex-
plained.
"After the win against Duke
everything we had done before
that game became part of our
good luck superstition. And part
of it was to watch Banana Splits.
I Second string quarterback] Jim-
my Betts and I are keeping up the
tradition this year," he added.
Another superstition in which
Moorhead indulges is to shave
late Friday nightebefore a game.
"Even if I don't need to I shave
for good luck", he remarked.
"One night the coach walked
in and couldn't believe I w a s
shaving. But he just laughed, told
me I was crazy and walked out of
the room."
GENERALLY LESS supersti-
tious and more level-headed,
"Warbler" takes football ser-
iously. For his efforts he was
awarded the Henry W. Morton
Trophy as the most improved
player aftertspringsdrills 1 a s t
year. He was the first quarter-
back to receive the honor since
Jim Van Pelt in 1955.
Just as sincere about his edu-
cation, Moorhead plans to grad-
uate with a degree in education.
If things don't work out with the
professional football draft, he will
work for a graduate degree in
counseling.
BEYOND COLLEGE, the jun-
ior standout hopes to "teach and
coach football or basketball at the
high school level".
If granted a single wish for his
future, Moorhead picked out the
life of a professional golfer. He
explained, "It's great to travel
around in beautiful weather. I
guess it'd be like taking a lon g
vacation but getting paid well for
it.",
To escale from the paradoxical
world of decisions and dreams.
Moorhead can be found playing
hearts with friends, including
teammates Paul Staroba and
Dana Coin.
He commented, "If you don't
find me studying, eating or at
practice, I'll probably be at South
Quad playing cards with t h e
guys."
Another pastime - like a n y
other potential pro - is keeping
up with the pro teams on TV
Sunday afternoons. This is in
line with a habit he's had since
early childhood when he spent
the weekend atfernoons wv i t h
friends watching the Lions on TV.
After the program was over,
they would replay the games with
Moorhead taking on the role of
his near-idol Joe Schmidt. This
was the extent of his early train-
ing as he did not pick up the pig-
skin again until he was in high
school.
As a quarterback at L. C. Mohr
High School, Moorhead won All-
Conference honors two years and
an All-State spot his senior year.
Typifying the versatility of Mich-
igan athletes, he also captained
the basketball and baseball teams.
REVIEWING his college f o o t-
ball career, which includes 932
total yards gained and 7 t o u c h-
downs, Moorhead described t h e
31-20 win against Purdue as his
most exciting moment. "I w a s
never so happy as when we beat
Purdue", he explained.
"We overcame a lot of mistakes
we'd been making when we played
Missouri. But it means even more
than that, because if we beat
Michigan State the Rose Bowl
trip will be ours. Things are cer-
tainly looking our way," he added.
So who cares if he watches car-
toons before the game. Who
knows, maybe it really works.

By SANDI GENIS
The sorcerer of the Southeast
has done it again. Forget Steve
Sloan, Ken Stabler, Joe Namath.
Papa Bear has found himself a
new Goldilocks and the record
books of Alabama may never be
the same.
Goldilocks, alias Scott Hunter,
just happens to be one of the
best of a crop of excellent quar-
terbacks in the southeast. He al-
so happens to be the man the
Crimson Tide of Alabama pins
their hopes on for SEC suprem-
acy and a bowl invitation.
Until last week's 4 for 25 per-
formance against Vanderbilt in
one of the upsets of the year,
Hunter had completed 78%e of
his passes including a record-
breaking 22 for 29 achievement
against a tough Ole Miss team
in a 33-32 thriller two weeks
ago. In total career offense he
he already stands ahead of
former golden boy Joe Namath.
BUT ALABAMA almost didn't
get this gem. The Mobile-born
Hunter is the first to admit that
throughout his boyhood Auburn
always held his loyalty. Then
Bear Bryant came along and
made the porridge just right,
and Hunter decided to walk the
same path as Namath and Stab-
ler and joined the ranks of foot-
ball stars bivouaced in hallowed
Bryant Hall.,
Hunter immediately proved
his worth during his sophomore
season when, sharing the quar-
terbacking duties with Joe Kel-
ly, he broke or tied seven pass-
ing records and led the team to
the Gator Bowl. The amazing
athlete refers to experiences
"Man gains a lot from winning and losing.
After losing to Missouri we regained the ded-
ication to get back on top.
.*. . . . .. . . . . .*. .**. . ~ *~ ~ .* . . . .* ~.*. *. .*. . * *. . ..
that year as "like being thrown
to the lions in the Coliseum in
Rome."
Not that he wasn't prepared
to play that position. Indeed, he
had looked forward to it since
grade school. Whenever the boys
gathered to engage in a friend-
ly scrimmage, Hunter was in-
variably at the controls since, as
he explains it "It was my ball
and I wouldn't let them use it
unless I was quarterback."
Intent on following in t h e
like the 1 o s s to Missouri, he
writes off to overconfidence and
sloppy play. He still feels sure
that Bear's boys can at least tie
for the SEC title.
The startling reality of the
situation will be more apparent
after the Tide's battle with 7th
ranked Tennessee tomorrow, but
Hunter feels sure that his mates
will meet the challenge. "We've
got so many great players on
this team, guys like Alvin Sam-
ples, Tommy Wade, and George

footsteps of his boyhood idol,
John Unitas, whose s t y I e he
emulates, Hunter embarked on
a brilliant career at Vigor High
School that eventually brought
him to Bryant's attention and
subsequently to Alabama.
Now in his second year at the
Tide helm, Hunter admits he
has more confidence, and the
record books seem to bear him
out - in four games this sea-
son he has broken three records.
He feels that Missouri's stun-'
ning 35-10 triumph o v e r the
favored Tide in the Gator Bowl
last winter contributed to his
success this season.
"Man gains a lot from win-
ning and losing. After losing to
Missouri we regained ,the dedi-
cation to get back on top."
Last week's loss to Vanderbilt
in a crucial conference clash,
Ranager. If we can take advan-
tage of the breaks and keep the
ball, we can win."
Looking to the end of the sea-
son, the gifted quarterback
readily admits t h a t he would
like a crack at Missouri or Geor-
gia in a bowl game.
BUT LIKE all great athletes,
he aims for the best and with
very little prompting will con-
fess that what he really craves
is the chance to pit his ability
against the rugged, man-eating
defense of Ohio State's Buck-
eyes, whom he believes a r e a
cinch to repeat as national
champs.
Once Hunter has hung up the
spikes for the day, the playbook
becomes a textbook on mark-t-
ing and stocks and Scott Hunt-
er the quarterback becomes
Scott Hunter the finance major.
Though he hopes to play pro-
fessional football after he grad-
uates "if the opportunity pre-
sents itself," he feels that work-
ing on the S t o c k Exchange
would provide excellent either
off-season or fulltime employ-
ment. On the side, Hunter is
taking a few physical education
courses to familiarize himself
with all the various facets of
sports,
Because he h a s tremendous
ability, Hunter is the first to
acknowledge the skill and ac-
complishments of other athletes,
especially quarterbacks. He is
particularly excited about Mis-
sissippi quarterback A r c h i e
Manning whom he considers the
best all around quarterback in
college ball today.
Even thoungh Ole Miss drop-
ped a squeaker to Alabama 33-
32, Manning managed to gain a
total of 540 yards against the
Tide defense, completing 33 of
52 passes and breaking four SEC
records. "He made me feel like
the guy who hits a pitch single
to win the game only to have
someone on the other team hit
five hometuns," said Hunter
concerning the game. "He's a
wild man. He does it all."
Another player Hunter thinks
can do it all is former Alabama
star Joe Namath. "If Joe was
playing college ball today, he'd
set records no one could break,"
quoth the one who has already
broken several of Super Joe's
records.
AS FOR the future of college
football, Hunter feels that the
recent offensive boom is merely
part of a cycle and t h at the
scores will cease to be so high
once defenses learn to handle
the triple option type offense
popularized by Darrell Royal's
Texas Longhorns.
Concerning the outlook for the
Crimson Tide, he thinks they
could possibly end up as one of
the top five teams in the na-
tion if they win all of their re-
maining games. Next year he
looks to the fine freshmen team
and a goad sophomore crop to
provide added power and ex-
pects another good season.
When asked about his and the
team's success, Hunter quickly
points out that Paul "B e a r"
Bryant makes all the difference.
"Coach Bryant may not always
have the best football players,
but he gets 110% from them
while the opposing coach only
gets 100%.
Sounds like Goldilocks finds
the living at Papa Bear's house
just right.
