SATURDAY, OCTOBER, 30, 1965 p,,; r; T HE MICHIGAN DAILY prr.wr' _ _ _, £ n3rJ3.;g EV IV~ 0 , Blue 0 By RICK STERN For the first time in two years, the pressure is OFF. When they take the field against Wisconsin this afternoon, Michigan's Wolverines will have virtually nothing at stake. There + are no Big Ten championships on the line, the Wolverines protect no national prestige, and there is no deep rivalry between the two schools. As a matter of fact, the game is about as significant to outsiders as a late season baseball battle be- tween the Washington Senators and Kansas City Athletics. (A comparably i m p o r t a n t football game might be the William Jewell. College - Nebraska W e s 1 e y a n classic.) INSTA NT- MILDNESS yours withX Y ILBO L E._ Outi But to Chalmers W . Elliott, . Milton Bruhn and 80-odd athletes, the game is important, pressure or no. Michigan hasn't beaten Wiscon- sin ,in 1 years (there have been three meetings), and hasn't won in conference play this season. But there's no pressure. Win or lose, Michigan's status in the weekly football polls won't change. Wisconsin still harbors very dim Rose Bowl hopes, having lost but one conference duel. But a Wisconsin appearance in the Rose Bowl is as probable as a North- western win over Michigan State, and highly related. Not Good Enough Anyway, "Wisconsin isn't good enough to go to the Rose Bowl." At least that's what the 'experts', said at the beginning of the sea- son. The Badgers carried three sophomore backs, the kicking situ- ation was impossible, and the de- fensive was unproven. 'In short, the team "couldn't win." And they didn't-the first two weeks of the season. A 0-0 tie with Colorado, and a 26-6 loss to USC preceded the Badgers' first Big Ten game. But in that game, against Iowa, Wisconsin was "lucky," 16-13. The next week they were slammed 37-0, but losing to Nebraska by only 37 points is an accomplishment. Two weeks ago, Wisconsin stopped Northwestern 21-7, but last Saturday they fum- ISo IWISCONSIN Stop Wisconsin "Badgering" 4 MICHIGAN 84 75 60 57 67 71 86 11 42 24 44 Louis Jung (194) Phil Sobocinski (220) John Roedel (222) Anthony Loukas (222) Dick LaCroix (224) Chuck Currier (244) William Fritz (225) Charles Burt (202) Tom Schinke (178) Dennis Lager (186) Tom Jankowski (201) LE LT LG C RG RT RE QB LH RH FB Steve Smith Charles Kines Dennis Flanagan Joe Dayton Don Bailey Tom, Mack' Jack Clancy Wally Gabler Rick Sygar Carl Ward Dave Fisher (229).

"We're a spirited team, we try awfully hard, and our improve- ment has been excellent," said Bruhn as he surveyed A4is charges yesterday afternoon in an awe- somely quiet Michigan Stadium. How have Wisconsin's problem areas progressed during the course of the season? Listen to Bruhn. Soph QB "We're inexperienced, but our sophomore quarterback, C h u c k Burt has come along well. By the time Burt becomes a senior, he should be outstanding. The only problem is that he hasn't played consistently well, and when he plays badly, the team plays badly. The two sophomore halfbacks (Tom Schinke and Dennis Lager) have left something to be desired but have also shown improve- ment. "Jesse Kaye and Gary Pinnow are our kickers. Pinnow is capable of connecting on a long field goal, while Kaye specializes from closer in. "The defense has actually be- come our strong spot. They've given us a real boost in previous games and should play a key role today, too." Sparking the Badger defense are seniors Dave Fronek and Ray Marcin. "Marcin got so fired up before the Northwestern game that he spent the pre-game warm-up period jumping tip and down on the sidelines, shouting oaths at the Northwestern bench. Marcin, 5'10" and 228 pounds, is a line- backer. Troublemaker Fronek, perhaps a little less frightening than his enthusiastic cronie, is nonetheless a speedy safety who can cause trouble for Wolverine backs. He is the Wis- consin captain. Quarterback Burt has been not- ed to give away the direction of a pass play by checking the defen- sive alignment in the area of the intended bomb before calling the signals. Bruhn thinks he is over this habit. "He is capable of fak- ing his glances too," said Bruhn. The Best So Far What does Bruhn think of Michigan? "They're the best Big Ten team we've played so far-better than Ohio State. We'll be watching Carl Ward, who we know as a Post Time: 1:30 Kickoff is 1:30 this after- noon. The game will be broad- cast on radio stations WPAG, WAAM, WUOM, of Ann Arbor, and station WWJ of Detroit. Ticket manager Don Weir stat- ed that one dollar tickets will go on sale at noon today for grade and high school students only. shifty nifty back. Wally Gabler appears to have established him- self. He seems to play a lot like his predecessor, (Bob) Timber- lake. I expect a balanced attack from Michigan, with backs like Ward and (Dave) Fisher for Gabler to hand off to and ends like (Jack) Clancy for him to throw to." The Wolverines have lost three conference games in a row, and also carry a pre-conference loss against Georgia. Not since 1934 has Michigan lost five successive games in one season. Line coach Tony Mason paused in Yost Field House yesterday af- F *r fE ' C': HALFBACK RICK SYGAR takes a handoff from quarterback Wally Gabler before heading through the line in the Purdue game. Blocking for Sygar is Carl Ward at far left, and Dave Fisher at far right. It is likely that these four will start today in the Wolverine backfield against Wis- consin. PRO BASKETBALL: Pistons Drop Celts at Buzzer ter demonstrating his basketball prowess to Dave Strack. Mason commented on the spirit of the Michigan players in the face of four straight losses. "Our mental state is good, real good. The boys are fired-up, they wyant to win, and they are going to win. In foot- ball it's a 'must' game everytime you take the field, and I'm not just trying to sound clever." Annihilation The tobacco chewing Mason holds great respect for the Wis- consin defense, whose annilation is the object of his offensive line. "They're very strong defensively," said Mason. "They have only one, sophomore there and the entire unit has been extremely tough all season. "Offensively. I don't even know' their names," added Mason, in a classic illustration of athletic spe- cialization. The status of Michigan defen- sive stand-outs Bill Yearby and Tom Cecchini remained doubtful yesterday. Cecchini was injured last Saturday against Minnesota. Yearby missed the Minnesota game, having suffered a pinched nerve the weeli before. Both prac- ticed this past week but did not "Zit"-in. other words were not involved in body contact plays and drills. By The Associated Press DETROIT-Ray Scott bagged a short turn around jump shot with two seconds left to play last night and enabled the Detroit Pistons to beat the Boston Celtics 108- 106. It was the first time since Feb. 24, 1964, that the Pistons had managed to beat the world cham- pions. It was only their second triumph in 28 games over a three- year period with the Celtics.

After Detroit opened a five- point bulge and then a four-point lead with less than two minutes to go, Willie Naulls and Sam Jones hit for jurners-the latter with 19 seconds remaining-to tie the score at 106-106. Then came Scott's decisive shot. Miles, with 36 points and Scott with 18 led the Pistons who now stand -3-3. A 51-point effort by Sam Jones went down the drain for the Celtics.

BALTIMORE-Oscar Robertson scored 33 points and set a Civic Center record with 15 assists as he led the Cincinnati Royals to a 131-121 National Basketball As- sociation victory over the Balti- more Bullets last night. Robertson, who tried only 12 shots in the first half while con- tenting himself with the feeder's role, took charge at the start of the third period and put the game out of reach of the Bullets. Sinking Fast The Big O sank five of his first six shots after intermission and scored 11 points as the Royals outscored Baltimore 24-10 in the first seven minutes and spurted to an 88-71 lead. Cincinnati led 64- 61 at halftime. 1Substitute "Happy" Hairston scored 21 for the Royals while playing only 20 minutes in the second and fourth periods. Jerry Lucas scored 19 for the Royals and grabbed 24 rebounds.. * READY TO THROW the pigskin is quarterback Wally Gabler to waiting halfback Carl Ward at right.

First-662-7409 (By the author of "Rally Round!the Flag, Boyal", "Dobie Gillis," etc.) TWELVE IS A MANY-SPLENDORED THING Today I begin my twelfth year of writing this column in your campus newspaper. These dozen years have passed like a dozen minutes. In fact, I would not believe so much time has gone by except that I have my wife nearby as a handy reference. When I started this column, she was a mere slip of a girl-supple as a willow bough and fair as the morn. Today she is gnarled, lumpy, and given to biting the postman. Still, I count my- self lucky. Most of my friends who were married at the same time have wives who chase cars all day. I myself have never had this trouble, and I attribute my good fortune to the fact that I have never struck my wife with my hand. I have always used a folded newspaper, even during the prolonged newspaper strike of 1961 in New York. During this journal- less period I had the airmail edition of the Manchester Guard- ian flown in daily from England. I must admit, however, that it was not entirely satisfactory. The airmail edition of the Guardian is printed on paper so light and flimsy that it makes very little impression when one smacks one's wife. Mine, in fact, thought it was some kind of game and tore several pairs of my trousers. ,But I digress. For twelve years, I say, I have been writ- ing this column. That is a fact, and here is-another: I shave every morning with Personna Stainless Steel Blades. I bring up Personna Stainless Steel Blades because this column is sponsored by the makers of Personna and they are inclined, to brood if I omit to mention their products. N. . enthusiasm among the coaches. * } Not, let me hasten to state, that it is any chore for me to sing the praises of Personna-as you will agree once you try this sharpest, smoothest-shaving, longest-lasting blade ever devised by the makers of Personna Blades-now available both in Double Edge and Injector style. Personna, always the most rewarding of blades, today offers even an extra re- ward-a chance to grab yourself a fistful of $100 bills from a $100,000 bowl! The Personna Stainless Steel Sweepstakes is off and running, and you're all eligible to enter. Visit your friendly Personna dealer soon to pick up an entry blank (void where prohibited by law). And, by the way, while you're at your friendly Personna dealers, why don't you ask for a can of Burma Shave? It comes in Regular or Menthol; it soaks rings around any other lather, and it's made by the makers of Personna. But I digress. For twelve years, I say, this column has ' been discussing, forthrightly and fearlessly, such burning campus questions as "Should students be allowed to attend first-hour classes in pajamas?" and "Should deans be re- tired at age 25?" and "Should foreign exchange students be held for ransom?". Today, continuing the tradition, we take up the thorniest academic problem of all: the high cost of tuition. Let me tell you how one student, Lintel Sigafoos byname, solved this problem. Lintel, while still a boy in Straitened Circumstances, Idaho, had his heart set on college, but, alas, he couldn't afford the tuition. He applied for a Regents Scholarship but, alas, his reading speed was not very rapid-only two words an hour-and before he finished even the first page of his exam, the Regents had closed their briefcases crossly *du Pont Reg.
