November 1 3 1969 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Iowa lookinr for another upset By BILL ALTERMAN Last year Coach Ray Nagel promised the foot- ball world that "It's going to be an exciting football year at the University of Iowa." He was right. The 1968 Iowa Hawkeyes set 5 Big Ten of- fensive records, 7 Iowa team records and 11 individual Iowa players records. With all this offense though they still could only muster a 5-5 season, due largely to a sieve- like defense. This year is no different. They have won games big 61-35 (Washington State, a mediocre team) and then lost them big 35-8 (Minnesota, an equally mediocre team). They have gained an average of 421 yards a game but have allowed the opposition 28 points a game. They are to put it mildly, erratic. OFFENSIVELY, they are ranked 12th na- tionally this week. Senior quarterback Larry Lawrence has been the center of it all, passing for 1290 yards and running for 314 more. Oc- casiorally Mike Cilek has had to sub for Law- rence as in the Michigan State game which the Hawkeyes won on a six yard touchdown pass from Cilek to wingback Kerry Reardon with 1:25 left in the game. Reardon along with tight end Ray Manning and split end Don Osby comprise the highly talented Hawkeye receiving corps. Reardon is the most prolific, catching 34 for 584 yards ~ while Manning has 25 for 310 yards and Osby 14 for 205 yards. Iowa's ground game likewise has an excess of talent. Although Tim Sullivan, last year's start- ing fullback, has been out the whole year with an ankle injury acquired from an automobile accident, Nagel has had little to worry about as sophomores Steve Penney and Tom Smith have filled in ably Penney is the team's leading an rusher with 458 yards and Smith has a 5.7 rush- rat ing average. At tailback, Nagel has Levi Mitchell and Dennis ar- Green. Mitchell, the Hawkeyes leading rusher also has been lugging the ball an average of 5.7 yards a crack. He took the opening kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown in the game against Washington State. Last week Green scored two touchdowns in a 19-18 upset of racially troubled Indiana. Still, the offense has had its problems. COACH NAGEL spotted this area when he commented, "The offense has had no trouble mov- ing the ball but numerous errors have cost us." A good example is their opening game against Oregon State when the Hawkeyes threw five in- terceptions and lost four fumbles, more than can- celling out the 458 total yards they racked up in the 42-14 loss. Of late, however, "the mistakes have tapered off and we're a more consistent ball club," Nagel as- serted. Defensively, Iowa has come a long way since the beginning of the year. Although they were hurt by graduations and the loss of several black starters due to racial problems, their defense was decisive in last week's victory. Besides in- tercepting two passes, they set up the winning touchdown by recovering a blocked punt on the Hoosier's 18-yard line. THE FRONT LINE and linebacking corps both have experienced players and show it by having held the opposition to under 3.5 yards per rush- ing attempt. Both linebackers, Larry Ely and Rod Barnhart are seniors with two years of playing behind them. The front line includes three start- ers back from last year, ends Bill Bevill and Dan McDonald and tackle Wayne McDowell. In addition to beating Michigan State and Indiana, The Hawkeyes almost upset Purdue. They were on the Boilermaker 3-yard line with 30 seconds left before they were stopped in the 35-31 loss. Yet the week before they bowed to Wisconsin 23-21, ending the Badgers winless streak at 23. Like the coach said, "It's going to be an excit- ing football year at the University of Iowa." 1*o1* Mlinitpunter badly hurt; World Series money slit By The Associated Press 0 CHAMPAIGN-Sophomore Terry Masar of Oak Park, Ill., University of Illinois' No. 1 punter in football, was in critical condition in St. John's Hospital, Springfield, last night after an auto accident. Hospital attendants said Masar suffered a fractured left shoulder and head injuries. His companion, William Mahar, 22, of Homewood, 1 Ill., also an Illinois student, was not seriously injured. 0 NEW YORK-The richest payoff in baseball history finds each New York Met collecting $18,338.18 and each Baltimore Oriole pocket- ing $14,904.21 from the World Series and the pennant playoffs. The old highs were $12,794.00 for the victorious Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1963 World Series and $8,189.36 for the losing Dodgers in the 1966 Series with Baltimore. 0 MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL-The Minnesota North Stars of the National Hockey League disclosed last night they had offered Bernie "Boom-Boom" Geoffrion a contract to coach the West Division team. Wren Blair, Minnesota General Manager-Coach, said Geoffrilon left the Twin Ciies yesterday for New York to think about the offer. Blair expected a decision "in the next few days." * BALTIMORE - External heart massage was used on Tom Mitchell, Baltimore Colts tight end after he was hurt in Sunday's game with Green Bay, it was reported yesterday. Larry Harris of the Baltimore Evening Sun wrote that when Mitchell left the dressing room, heading for a hospital, he collapsed, "actually turned blue and medics couldn't find a pulse for long, anxious moments. "External heart massage finally got him going again, however, and then it was a long, two-hour siege in the operating room while doctors cut and repaired ligaments, threw away cartilage and finally sewed him up." * DETROIT-Mike Roarke, one-time Detroit catcher, is the new pitching coach of the American League Tigers. The 39-year-old Roarke's assignment was switched from bullpen coach, the job for which he was hired Oct. 3, when the Tigers failed to come up with a pitching coach successor to John Sain, fired last August in his third year with Detroit. Iowa quarterbacks, Larry Lawrence (13) and Mike Cilek POWELL FAR BEHIND: Killebrew named MVP' NEW YORK (R)-- Harmon! Killebrew, a quiet baldish man who led the major leagues with 49 home runs and 140 runs batted in for the Minne- sota Twins, was named yes- terday t h e Most Valuable Player in the American Lea- gue for 1969. The muscular Killebrew, w h o bounced back strong from an in- jury in the 1968 All-Star game that threatened to end his career,' was a decisive winner over John' "Boog" Powell of t h e pennant- winning Baltimore Orioles. Powell batted .304, hit 37 homers a n d knocked in 121 runs, Killebrew, 33, received 16 of the first place votes by the 24-man committee of the Baseball Writ- ers Association of America, two! from each league city. The voting, completed before the beginning of the playoffs and thus restricted to performance in regularaseason' games, was tabulated and an- nounced by Jack Lang, secretary- treasurer of the writers' group. Minnesota won the league's West- ern Division before losing to Bal- timore in the playoffs. Powell was named on six first place ballots. Frank Robinson of Baltimore, who had won the MVP in t h e American League in 1964 and in the National League with Cincin- nati in 1961, received the two re- maining first-place votes. Robin- son hit .308 with 32 homers and 100 RBI. The writers mentioned 37 play- ers in the balloting and 10 of the daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: PHIL HERTZ 12 clubs were represented. Only Chicago and Cleveland failed to' draw a vote. The point score, -based on 14 for a first-place vote, nine for sec- ond, eight for third and so on down to one for tenth gave Kille- brew 294 points, Powell 227 and Robinson 162. Frank Howard, the Washington: slugger who was runnerup with 48 homers, finished fourth with 115 points and Reggie Jackson, Oak- land's home run hitter w h o threatened in mid-season to top both Babe Ruth and Roger Manis and wound up with 47, was fifth with 110 points. Denny McLain, last year's MVP unanimous winner who shared the 1969 Cy Young pitching a w a r d with Mike Cuellar of Baltimore, had the most points of any pitch- er, 85, for sixth place. Then came' Rico Petrocelli, the Boston Red Sox shortstop, whose 40 homers; set a record for the position, sev- enth with 71 points. Cuellar, Bal- timore's 23-game winning pitch- er, was eighth with 55; Jim Per- ry, who won 20 for Minnesota, was ninth with 41, and Rod Carew,' the who ,332, Minnesota second basem led the league in hitting was 10th with 30 points.
