That mystifying equation com- plete with N-number or maybe M-number of variables and hypo- thetical theories may have finally been solved for those wondering about the Wolverine football team. Head coach Bump Elliott term- ed last week's two-point defeat at the hands of Purdue "an extreme-' ly disappointing loss" in the wake of the commendable performance of the team. The concensus of the coaches seems to be that Michigan is now a team that has jelled both on offense and defense. "The players are beginning to realize their potential and operate as a coordinated unit," enthused Dennis Fitzgerald,, f r e s h m a n coach. Stubborn Pride "The attitude of the team is one of stubborn pride-daring anyone to beat us," continued Fitzgerald, "we feel that we can provide formidable opposition to /every team on our schedule. We will be going into each game with our chin ou-defying anyone to hit us. "The ambition of Michigan for the season is now a 7-3 record. The morale of the team is high despite its three straight defeats." Michigan, with a crusading red- dog defense and a creditable of- fense, nearly put that last loss into the victory column last Satur- day before succumbing to the ver- satility of one Bob Griese. Well Done "The defense did a fine job in containing the diversified attack of Purdue and was especially ef- fective in. putting pressure on Griese," praised Elliott. The Wolverine line stopped the Boilermaker ground game the way Listerine stops bad breath, limit- ing their backs to 27 yards in 30 carries. And in the first half, be- fore Griese's famed second-half heroics, the pass defense held the vaunted Boilermaker quarterback to only 96 yards through the air. "It is very difficult to defend against a team like Purdue with its constant running threat and its fantastic passing game," ex- plained Fitzgerald. "In fact, the best way to stop a guy like Griese is to trip him in the locker room." Bob's Twins Michigan double teamed Griese's favorite target, end Bob Hadrick, only to watch flankerback Jim Finley snare 11 aerials for 159 yards and erase Hadrick's pass reception team record for a single game. Hadrick hauled in only three of Griese's specialties against Michigan. Rick Volk, in his second year as a first-string defensive back for the Wolverines, was cited: for his work in guarding Hadrick by the fast-stepping Purdue end himself. "He (Volk) was probably the By The Associated-Press Arkansas coach Frank Broyles said his team would never be rated number one unless every other' team in the country had lost two games. The experts have proven du- bious about Broyles' Razorbacks, but the Porkers have finally climb- ed into the coveted, number one spot in the latest Associated Press poll which finds every team 'in a different position than last week. Arkansas moved into the num- ber one position following their 27-24 whipping of Texas. Also moving upwards were the surprising Michigan State Spar- tans who walloped Ohio State. MSU scooted past Nebraska and moved into the runner-up spot. The Cornhuskers, thus dropped one place into third despite an overwhelming 41-0 victory over Kansas State. This leaves coach Bob Devaney in a position of pick- ing up Broyles' now obsolete' mor- dant refrain. USC Fourth Moving down the line, Southern Cal is nestled in fourth place, with an unblemished record aside from an opening game 20-20 tie against next week's Michigan op- ponent, Minnesota. Texas dropped from first to fifth, and following the Longhorns is Purdue. The Boilermakers ac- tually moved up a spot despite their squeaker 17-15 win over the Wolverines. Notre Dame, which has been rolling along since their defeat to Purdue, is right behind in seventh. Florida is eighth and newcomer Louisiana State is ninth. Closing out the top ten is an- other Michigan opponent, Georgia. Arkansas' win over Texas was the featured game of the week and the second straight year that the Razorbacks have won the classic * battle. After last year's triumph, Arkansas never did earn the num- ber one rating and finished the season in the second spot despite a perfect 10-0 record. Michigan was among other teams receiving votes and was ranked 15th - in the other wire service poll.

SPORT SHORTS: TennesseeShocked By Death of Coaches BY The Associated Press KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-Tennessee canceled football practice yester- day because of the deaths of as- sistant coaches Bill Majors and Bob Jones in a car-train collision,. Coach Doug Dickey said practice plans for th remainder of the week were uncertain. There also was the possibility that Saturday's Tennessee -Hous- ton game here will be canceled. Athletic Director Bob Woodruff said a decision will be made later in the week. Dickey and his aides were too stunned by the deaiths and the injury suffered by another assist- ant, Charles Rash, to discuss fu- ture staff plans. * * * Kindall To Coach MINNEAPOLIS-Jerry Kindall, the Minnesota Twins' second base- man and utility infielder the past two baseball seasons, will be hired as freshman basketball coach by 7 the University of Minnesota.

Gruff Artist Volk, in addition to knocking the ball to the ground, was quite active in the art of tackling with a game-leading total of eight. His efforts Saturday gave him the team lead in defensive-play par- ticipation with 33 tackles and 14 assists. (Linebacker Frank Nunley is second with 34 tackles and 10 assists.) Volk also picked off the fifth pass interception of the year for the Wolverines against the Boiler- makers as the pattern of "do-it- yourself" breaks took a turn for the better for Michigan. For the first time in five games, the Wol- verines neither fumbled the ball nor had an errant aerial fall into enemy hands. At the same time, they captured a touchdown- stimulating bobble and snagged that one wayward Griese pass. Gabler's Game Another first for Michigan was Wally Gabler's appearance at the signal-caller's position for an en- tire game. Gabler, a senior, start- ed his second game at quarterback after taking' a backseat to sopho- more Dick Vidmer for most of the year. Completing nine out of 28 at- tempts in the air, Gabler directed the Wolverines to two touchdowns, a field goal and three other scor- ing opportunities. Elliott indicated that his "fine job" has earned him the starting assignment against, Minnesota this week. Along with Gabler at the helm of the offensive backfield= "ship" will be shipmates Carl Ward, Dave Fisher, Rick Sygar and/or John Rowser. Depth in the rushing at- tack is one of the main deficien- cies of the team since the lossof Jim Detwiler. Sygar Eager Rick Sygar, who triples as a defensive back and a field-goal kicker, was employed by Elliott to replace Detwiler at halfback opposite-Ward to start the Purdue contest. Rowser, however, alter- nated with Sygar throughout the afternoon. The two ran with the pigskin only five times between them. Most of the workhorse chores went to fullback Fisher who car- ried the ball 21 times for 89 yards averaging 4.2 per try. His bulldogging charges were largely responsible for Michigan's edge over Purdue in first downs, 22-19, as he delivered on several third down situations. Detwiler Missed Detwiler, out for the season with a knee injury, was admittedly missed, though, by the Wolverines. Fitzgerald pointed out that "any time a team loses a first-string player, and especially one like Det- wiler, it loses a leader. We have some good backs to take his place, but everyone can feel that some of the spirit is missing." Fitzgerald offered the list of Michigan cripplings as an "ex- DEPEN DABLE IMPORT SERVICE We have the MECHANICS and the PARTS.

"A winning Big Ten team usually has a minimum of injuries, and Mich- igan this year has certainly had more than its share." The latest addition to the grow- ing catalogue of therapeutic- seeking knee hobblers was Dick Wells, a member of the defensive secondary who suffered a torn ligament midway through the first half Saturday. Team doctors re- ported that he was responding to treatment and that he should be back on the practice field by the middle of the week.
