Gophers
Try to bounce back
in Brown Jug battle
By JOE MARKER
Contributing Editor
In the first of a series of five "must" games (the remain-
ing schedule) Michigan attempts to rebound from its disaster,
in East Lansing when the Wolverines collide with Minnesota
today along the banks of the Mississippi River.
Although Minnesota, with a 0-4-1 record, might appear
a soft touch for the Wolverines, such is not necessarily the
case, as the Gophers only last week gave Ohio State its tough-
est game this year before bowing, 34-7.
It was in that contest that Minnesota discovered it had

an aerial attack, as Phil Ha-
gen threw for more than 300
yards against t h e Buckeyes.
More of the same is expected
today. As Coach Murray War-
math says, "We expect a high-
scoring game, with a 1 o t of
passing from our side."
Along with Hagen's passing, the
Gophers have a gigantic offensive
line (averaging 225 pounds/man)
and two punishing rInners, full-
back Jim Carter a n d halfback
Barry Mayer, who provide a pow-
erful, although n o t too speedy,
running game.
Carter, a bruising fullback of
the Jim Otis t y p e, banged the
Ohio State line for over 100 yards,
mostly over right tackle - the
only problem was that there was
little yardage gained inside the
Buckeye's twenty yard-line.
This rushing attack may prove!
quite a problem to Michigan,
which yielded 350 yards to State
a week ago, in addition to huge
chunks of yardage against Mis-
souri and Purdue t h e previousI
w, two games.j
Michigan's ground game, on the
other hand, has suffered quite a
blow with the loss of Glenn Dou-
ghty, who is not making the trip
to Minneapolis because of a crip-
pling knee injury. Without h i s
speed, it will be considerably eas-
ier for the slow but strong Minne-
rsota defensive front line to con-

quarterback. Consequently, the
opponents' receivers have had
plenty of time to get out in the
open."
This is a new problem for War-
math, whose teams are typically
big and strong and usually better
around the enemy signal caller.
The Michigan pass game, hov'-
ever, will be seriously hampered
by the loss of wingback John Gab-
ler, who sustained a shoulder in-
jury in practice Thursday. An-
other change in the Michigan re-
ceiving corps is Billy Harris, who
will replace Paul Staroba at split
end .
The biggest problem for both
teams has not been overall weak-
ness in either t h e offensive or
defensive units, but rather the
tremendous number of mistakes.
Minnesota last week moved inside
of the Ohio State twenty-yard
line five times only to be stopped,
several timhes on fumbles.
Michigan's errors last week were
of all kinds: dropped pitch-outs,
safeties, costly penalties, etc. In
the Gophers' case, the cause can
be attributed to the many soph-
omores Warmath is using in this
rebuilding year. Michigan likewise
has a young team which at times
loses some of its poise.
The combination of inexperi-
enced players should provide an
entertaining afternoon for the
45.000 expected intMemorial Sta-
dium. Typically the Brown Jug
game, one of college football's
more colorful rivalries, has been
decided on one break, and this
year may prove no exception. it,
may well be similar to the 1963
game which the Wolverines lost,
20-15, when Benny McRae was hit
and fumbled on his own five-yard'
line late in the game.

Isn't there anyone who wants
to go to the Rose Bowl this year?
With the third week of Big Ten
football comes the promise of no
league domination (excluding, of
course, Ohio State).
Right now Indiana seems to be
In the driver's seat. Tied for thel

and Northwestern, the Hoosiers,'

vade Wisconsin.
Indiana is one of the two teamsa
in the Big Ten with the good for-
tune of missing Ohio State in this
year's schedule. The other is Iowa,
already a two-time league loser.
Two years ago it was the super-1
sophomore team, featuring quar-:
terback Harry Gonso, halfback
John Isenbarger and flanker .Jade
Butcher, that represented the
Midwest in the Rose Bowl. After
a year of injuries and disappoint-

thusiastic about this season.

Nation's gridders battle hard
to determine conference titles
By BOB ANDREWS
At about this time of the season
teams are considered for berths in
post-season bowl games and cru-
cial games are played to determine
the championship of the respective
conferences.
In the Big Eight Conference,
Kansas State, Missouri, Oklahoma
and Colorado are in the thick of
the race to capture the conference'
title.
OKLAhOMA, which withstood
a furious Colorado rally last week
to win 42-30. will meet its second
tough opponent in as many weeks
as they take on nationally ranked
Kansas State.
Steve Owens, the outstanding
Sooner back, excelled again last
week as he scored four touchdowns
and gained over 100 yards. That
was the 13th consecutive ragular
season game in which Owens gain-
ed a 100 yards or more.
Kansas State, whose one loss
has been to Penn State, 17-14,
comes off an easy 34-7 plastering
of Iowa State and should be ready
to battle the tough Sooners at
Manhattan, Kansas.
The other important Big Eight
game pits Missouri at Colorado.'
Two of the hardest running tacks
in the nation will play in the game:
--Joe Moore of the Tigers and Boo
Anderson of Colorado.
A victory is a must if the Buf-
faloes are to have any chance of
capturing the title. The Tigers,,
5th ranked in the nation, van-
quished the Oklahoma State, 31-
21, to keep them in a tie with Kan-
sas State for the conference lead.
Out on the West Coast, UCLA
could very well be on its way to
the Pacific Eight title and a berth
in the Rose Bowl. Today they clash
with the Indians of Stanford-
their last tough opponents until
they meet Southern California in
the last game of the season.
The sixth ranked Bruins, unle-
feated in six games this year, r oil-
ed over California 32-0 last week.'
Dennis Dummett, their talented!
quarterback, threw for two touch-
downs and his attack was 'aug-
mented by the fine running of
halfback Mickey Sureton and re-
serve back Bill Bolden.
STANFORD, AFTER two heart-f
stopping losses to Purdue and
USC came back last week to mas-
sacre hapless Washington State,
49-0. The Indians also have Rose
Bowl ideas. They have been aver-
aging over 39 points per game and
with Jim Plunkett at the helm are
looking for a victory that could tie
them for the conference lead with
a 3-1 record.
Auburn and LSU, two power
houses with identical 5-0 records,
will meet in a Southeast confer-
ence game which is very important
for both clubs. A loss would vir-
tually knock Auburn out of the
title race and the Tigers, who
haven't yet played a team which
could be considered a challenge,
must prove that their nationalr
ranking and the possibility of a
conference title are no hoaxes.
Auburn leads the nation in total
defense, yielding only 170 yards
per game and LSU is third, rivingl
up 184. The Auburn pass defense
has been particularly tough while
the LSU has been unbelievable in ;
allowing just 32 yard a game on!
the ground.
LAST WEEK, Auburn saw their
explosive offense stymied by an
inspired Georgia Tech team and
only a field goal by John Riley ,'
with 1:01 left in the game let them
squeak by 17-14.
LSU opened its conference'
schedule with a 37-10 win over the
weak Wildcats of Kentucky. MikeI
