MicNease
By PHIL BROWN
"In high school I was a full-
back; for three years in the serv-
ice I was a fullback; my first
year in college I was a halfback;
my second year I was a fullback
again; my third year I was an
end, on both offense and defense;
and my senior year, I was center
linebacker."
The speaker continued in a
deep southern drawl:
"But I don't feel that you learn
football from playing positions. I
thought I knew a lot of football
until I started coaching... I play-
ed a lot of positions, and I didn't
feel that I had any of them mas-
tered-and I still don't."
Y C McNease might not have
mastered the fullback job, but he
learned enough about defense to
become linebacker and de
end coach forMichigan's d
minded Wolverines.
And amid the constant
of the athletic offices, he

ootball. A year at Cameron College fol-
as "one lowed, and then McNease moved
on the to Florida State University, where
e play- he played for three years under
n and Don James, now a Wolverine back-
field coach.
Marine But it was still a long way from
playing at Florida to coaching in
the Big Ten.
FSU Product1
I learned most of my football
at Florida State, and we were us-
ing the same defense we're using
at Michigan now. I coached two
years at State, then went to
Wichita State, where the same de-
fensive system (the "Oklahorna"
Sdefense) was employed."
A coaching change at W~cliita
left McNease free, so he accept-
ed Bobby Dobbs' offer to go to
Texas Western.
h"Bobby wanted to use the Okla-
homa defense, and he hired me
because I was familiar with it.
When Coach James came to Mich-
igan he needed a linebacker coach,
so I was hired."
Whie McNease was at Texas
Western he recruited Cecil Pry-
or, then a high school standout
at Corpus Christi. He was unsuc-
cessful, but when he came to
Michigan and found that there
was a tender available, he per-
suaded Pryor to come North.
Big Ten vs. South
His experience with footall in
various areas of the country makes
it possible for McNease to draw
some interesting comparisons be-
tween conferences.
"In the Big Ten you have bet-
ter material coming out of the
high schools. The South does a
good job because of the year-
trengthen
round program. Once they start
school they usually practice until
school's out, and in the Big Ten
you can't do that."
"Another thing in the Big Ten
is the lack of scholarships. We
only get 30, while they (the South-
ern schools) get a total of 120."
Does the fact that Big Ten rules
are so strict bother McNease?
Likes the Rules
"No, I think the Big Ten has
some good rules, and I feel like
the recruiting rule is not a hard-
ship to us, at least as far as com-
petition within the Big Ten is
concerned. Where it can hurt us
is outside the conference, like
when we're up against schools
like Kentucky and Notre Dame."
"We can go in a home once,
and only one coach can go in,
and I think this is a bad rule. I
think it's kind of silly if I take
Coach Elliott by a house and I
have to sit in the car while he
visits the kid."
McNease hesitated a mf t
when asked about segregatie
athletic programs in soutirn
schools, and whether or not it
helps the quality of football play-
ed in northern schools, but then
said:
"There's no question about it.
In the South, if a school is seg-
regated, they can't take good Ne-
gro athletes: as a consequence,
we can go to Texas and find boys
that are capable of playing any-
where."
"I know right now in the South-
west Conference, they may take
one good Negro football player,
but the University of Texas can't
take any. I think they're wrong
in doing that-they've got a lot
of boys that could be playing for
them...."
"But it's not the schools them-
selves that are keeping it segregat-
ed, it's the people around them."
Will integration in these schools
hurt northern recruiting?
Shouldn't Hurt
"It won't hurt Michigan. We've
never been noted for going to
Texas for material. It may hurt
schools that rely on the South for
recruiting. But there will always
be playersgcoming out of the South
because of the prestige of the Big
Ten."
McNease doesn't agree with the
opinion that Michigan -students
lack enthusiasm:
"No question about it-the stu-
dent body here gives us as much
support as any school I've seen.
You'll never get support from the
students unless you win. I wouldn't
come out to see us lose."
Is McNease satisfied with the
Wolverines' progress at this point
in spring practice?
"Offensively, at most of the
practices we've looked real good.
Our defensive ball club hasn't
come along as well as I had hoped
it would, but when we get Stincic,
Morgan and Rosema back in the
liheup I think we'll look real good."
"Our ultimate goal is not how
we look right now, but how we'll
look against Duke." The Blue Dev-
ils are Michigan's first opponent
for the 1967 season.
McNease is a family man as
well as a football coach. He has
been married for almost nine years
and has two children: a daugh-
ter, Cynthia Ann, who is 3, and
a son, Lewis Douglas, 5 months.
Will the son be another foot-
ball player?
McNease didn't take his custom-
ary pause:
"Probably a linebacker."

CHICAGO-The Chicago Black
hawks, champions of the National
Hockey League, bombarded the
Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 last
night in the opener of their best-
of-7 Stanley Cup semifinal play-
offs.
Thewsecond game of the series
also will be played in Chicago
Stadium Sunday night.
Chicago Coach Billy Reay came
up with a surprise when he start-
ed Dennis DeJordy in the nets in
favor of well-rested and playoff
experienced Glenn Hall. DeJordy
came up with a splendid perform-
ance and turned back 42 shots.
Toronto Coach Punch Imlach
Y C McNEASE
Canadien
also came up with a surprise when
he yanked his goalie at 8:40 in
the final period in an effort to
get a quick goal to cut Chicago's
4-1 margin.
Chicago had killed off two pen-
alties in six previous minutes when
Doug Mohns was sent off for
slashing. The Leafs pulled goalie
Terry Sawchuk but the move was
over in 11 seconds as Toronto's
Bobby Pulford got nailed for hook-
ing and Sawchuk returned.
Chicago jumped ahead on a
power goal by Kenny Wharram at
5:21 of the first period with Pat
Stapleton and Stan Mikita getting
assists.
Tie Score
Toronto got the advantage at
6:48 when Ed Van Impe was
nailed for interference and 24
seconds later Frank Mahovlich tied
it up at 1-1.
At 11:49 Pierre Pilote hammered
a screen shot past Sawchuk for
a 2-1 lead which held throughout
the period in which Toronto's
Tim Horton and Hawks' Phil Es-
posito drew five-minute penalties
for fighting.%
The second period was a wide
open affair as the Hawkcs expand-
ed their lead to 4-1.
Bobby Hull connected at 1:57 of
the second period when it appear-

MONTREAL - Ralph Back-
strom slammed in a rebound with
just over five minutes to play,
capping a furious four-goal rally
that triggered Montreal's defend-
ing Stanley Cup champions to a
6-4 victory over the New York
Rangers last night in the opener
of their National Hockey League
playoff series.
The Canadiens wiped out a 4-1
New York lead in less than six
minutes and ruined the Rangers'
bid for an upset victory in their
first playoff appearance since
1962.
Beliveau Wraps It Up
After Backstrom's second goal
of the game broke a 4-4 tie, with
5:05 to play, Montreal's captain
Jean Beliveau scored the wrap-
up tally at the 18:07 mark.
Montreal, seeking its third
straight cup title, entertains the
Rangers Saturday afternoon in the
nationally-televised second game
of the best-of-7 semifinal series.
Claude Prpvost, used sparingly
by the Canadiens in the first two
periods, touched off the Montreal
comeback at 9:12 of the final
session, shoving the puck under
goalie Ed Giacomin's pads from
close in. Dick Duff and Bobby
Rousseau assisted on the play.
Deflected Drive
Just 22 seconds later, defense-
man J. C. Tremblay's drive from
the right point caroomed off a
Ranger defender and into the
cage, cutting New York's lead to
4-3.,
John Ferguson, who had scor-
ed eight goals against New York
during the season,,hit the tying
marker with 8:57 remaining aft-
er taking a pass from Beliveau.
Ferguson's shot hit Ranger de-
fenseman Harry Howell and Ar-
nie Brown before skipping past
the stunned Giacomin.
Backstrom then cashed in on
linemate'-Claude Larose's rebound
and Beliveau converted passes
from Provost and J. C. Tremblay
for the insurance goal.
The Rangers had startled the
heavily-favored Canadiens with
two power plays in the second
period and two more tallies ear-
ly in the third.
