Coach; Muray Warmath's hopes will rest on the arm of Phil Hagen, who completed nearly fifty per cent of{ his pases last season, and on the running of Barry Mayer and Jim, Carter, both of whom had fine seasons last year. Optimism is prevalent, for a change, at Wisconsin, Michigan's, next opponent. Despite the fact that Wisconsin has not scored a victory for two years, Badger coach John Coatta said in May, "We've had an excellent spring. I think we've got some football players." Illinois, another of the weak links in the Big Ten, was hit hard by graduation this season, but Coach Jim Valek will greet a fine sophomore group which could give the Illini a representative team. Iowa is on the Michigan sched- ule for the first time since 1964, Michigan's last Rose Bowl sea- son. Last season the Hawkeyes featured a record breaking of- fense, but the team will have to ers find a replacement for Ed Podo- lak, last year's star tailback if Iowa is to continue to move ahead toward success. Another major difficulty was created when six- teen black athletes left the squad during spring practice. The Maize and Blue's final hurdle of the regular season is defending Big Ten and national champion Ohio State. C o a c h Woody Hayes' squad may be stronger than last year. T h e Buckeyes' only major losses were All-American tackles Dave Foley and Rufus Mayes, and Hayes ap- pears to have capable replace- ments. Back again are All-Ameri- can candidates quarterback Rex Kern,. fullback Jim Otis, rover- back John Tatum, and halfback Larry Zelina. As Hayes says, "It's obvious that we have more than depth" Perhaps the only things stand- ig in the way of repeat of a na- tional title are complacency, lack of incentive (no Rose Bowl trip), and just maybe a revenge minded Michigan football squad. -Daily--Jay Cassidy Before Schem MICHIGAN'S BRIAN HEALY, 24, sets himself to turn in a Michigan State end sweep in last es get to the year's game.

C(hesaning, MAicb By BILL CUSUMANO Associate Sports Editor Football has become the gla- mour game of collegiate athletics, but this year it may have to sur- vive without its usual quota of ex- ceptional stars. O. J. Simpson, Le- roy Keyes and countless others have departed for the professional, ranks and no likely replacements! are in sight. Instead, the colleges will be relying on several power- house teams to maintain its image' in the public eye. The club that everyone is look- ing toward with fear is-Ohio State. The Buckeyes of Woody Hayes re-1 turn almost intact from last year when t h e y rolled through ten, straight opponents while winning the Rose Bowl and national chain- pionship. The only rebuilding of any im- portance that Hayes has to do is at the tackles. Dave Foley and1 Rufus Mayes now do their head- breaking for the New York Jets' and Chicago Bears, respectively,1 and will be sorely missed. STILL, the Buckeyes return all! of the backs who went through the holes that Foley and Mayes opened so Hayes really can't be blamed for smiling. a- Rex Kern, Jim Otis and the oth- er Ohio State runners should rack up a lot of points and a superb defense led by John Tatum will make all challengers earn a n yC points that are given up. The only thing that really seems to standI between the Bucks and another undefeated season is the fact that they can't return to the Rose Bowl and might not have enough incen- tive to go against upset-minded opponents every week. Of course, Ohio State is not the: only school to return a top notch team and the Buckeyes certainly do not have a lock on the national title. The southwest has t h r e e teams that could give the Bucks a! tussle on any Saturday and two of t h e m. Texas and Arkansas,. should give each other a titanic battle on December 6. THE THIRD TOP team down in cow country is Houston. Thea Cougars are highly regarded by many and have even been picked number one by Playboy. The name1 of the game in Houston is offense and nobody does It better, T h e Cougars have led the country in1 total offense for three consecutive years and last y e a r set a new NCAA record. While rolling up the yardage, Houston also found time to score 425 points, 100 of which; came against Tulsa in one game. The Houston attack is based on coach Bill Yeoman's multiple of- fense. The number of options that a quarterback has when he starts1 to roll out are seemingly endless and the result is usually a con- fused defense. The only trouble is that the many options some- times also confuse Houston's own backs and many fumbles occur. However, with seasoned veter- ans like quarterback Ken Bailey, halfback Carlos Bell and receiver Elmo Wright the Cougars should score enough around the fumbles to blast most teams into submis- sion. And just in case the offense does sputter, the overlooked de- fense was tenth in the nation last year and should be just as tough. HOUSTON and Texas struggled to a 20-20 tie last season in one of the year's great games and it's a shame that there won't be a re- match since Texas is loaded once again. The Longhorns return three quarters of the backfield t h ati rushed for over 3,000 yards from, Darrell Royal's "wishbone - T," with only halfback Chris Gilbert to be replaced. The bulls returning to the Tex- as offense are led by James Street, the quarterback, and ace fullback Steve Worster. And when Street doesn't want to hand-off to one of his backs, he can always use his baseball pitcher's arm to throw to speedy Cotton Speyrer. Supiuemacy in the southwest will be established, though, when the Longhorns crash with the Razor- backs of Arkansas, Only a loss to Texas kept Arkansas from win- ning the SWC race last year andj the Porkers would like to atone for that mistake. BILL MONTGOMERY was a sophomore find for coach Frank Broyles at quarterback last year and he should be even better with a year's experience. Making Mont- gomery even more effective will be the presence of Chuck Dicus, an All-America candidate at end who was the Most Valuable Player in this year's Sugar Bowl game. Just as the Southwest Confer- ence always turns out fine teams, so does the Southeastern Confer- ence. This season promises to be no exception with Georgia a n d Tennessee leading the way and such perennial powers as Alabama, LSU and Mississippi providing strong threats. Vince Dooley has made the Bulldogs a national power since his arrival at Georgia and this year's squad is shaping up as one of his best. What makes this edi- tion of the Bulldogs so potentially good is the presence of Mike Ca- van, probably the best quarter- back Dooley has ever had. Georgia usually relies upon de- fense to win games but the great abilities of Cavan will give the defensive platoon more of a cush- ion to work with. Whatever points Cavan does put on the board for t h e Bulldogs should be enough since the defenders are almost the same crew that operated so effec- tII tively last year. Only All-Ameri- I cans Bill Stanfill and Jake Scott are missing b u t their positions should be adequately filled. Another team that lives by its defense is Tennessee but the Vols are not worried about it. Their defenders, led by linebacker Steve Kiner, rarely g i v e up points in double figures. Kiner in particular seems ready to follow in the foot- steps of former Tennessee greats; such as Frank Emanual.I Doug Dickey's offense is ques-; tionable, though, since he has re- placed his whole backfield. How- ever, spring practice performances indicate that the Vols will score, just enough. ONE MIGHT suspect that the SEC teamsd Iide themselves on defense and it is tr'ue. Most of their great powers rarely have a1 big star, an exception being Joe Namath at Alabama. Instead, they are hard-hitting and just plain tough units. The SEC does not have a mo- nopoly on tough defenses, though.; The Big Eight usually turns out several hard-nosed teams and its' top candidates for national rank- ing this season are Missouri and1 Oklahoma. What differentiates] the Tigemrs and Sooner's from SEC; teams is that they are bigger arEd have more offense.; Missouri is the pre-season fav- orite to take the Big Eight after its stunning slaughter of Alabama+ in the Gator Bowl. Terry McMil- lan has developed into a m o r e+ than dependable quarterback and he has veteran backs behind him, led by tailback Jon Staggers. The Tiger defense has most of the roen returning who stopped Alabama with the o n 1 y exception being Roger Wehrli, All-American saf-, ety. Oklahoma will give Missouri its chief challenge as the Sooners al- so return a veteran team. The key for Oklahoma is Steve Owens, a Heisman Trophy possibility and maybe the best halfback in the land. Only quarterback problems and defense could hold back the Sooners. Out on the west coast the big noise is still USC, even without O. J. Simpson. Soph quarterback Jimmy Jones is supposed to be the next great one and ends Sam Dickerson and B o b Chandler should help him to live up to his press notices. John McKay also has most of his Rose Bowl defense on hand so New Year's should find his in Pasadena once again. SOUTHERN CAL'S old rival, Notre Dame, also should be strong again despite the loss of Terry Hanratty and Jim Seymour. Joe Theismann can do the job at quarterback and t h e defense is big and strong. The main problem is finding offensive help for Theis- mann. So the national picture is once again filled with familiar names. The old powers will once again fight over the rankings and by the end of the season may even pro- duce a n e w Simpson or Keyes. Otherwise it might just be a sea- son filled with great teams made up of good players, 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 Brown, Richard Taylor, Mike Coin, Dana *Federico, Eric Lindenfeld, Dick *Hill, Henry Joseph, Al Wadhams, Tim Taylor, Bill White, Robert Henry, Preston *Scheffler, Lance Dutcher, Gerald **Craw, Garvie *Werner, Mark Smith, Mike Wright, Paul Hulke, Scott Murdock, Guy Alexander, Joe *Pryor, Cecil MG LB LB FB DR MG DR DR TB DR TB TB DR FB DR C LB C C DR DE 220 210 205 195 185 210 165 185 195 200 185 190 185 222 196 230 206 200 210 160 240 6-2 6-1!i; 6-2 5-11 6-1 5-11 5-8 6-1 5-10 6-2 6-0 6-0 6-2 6-2 6-2 6-4 6-1 6-5 6-2 5-8 6-5 21 20 19 21 19 20 19 20 19 21 18 20 20 21 22 19 19 18 19 19 21 Sr. Bay City So.
