FRIDAY, APRIL 7; 1967 PAGE EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, APRIL 7.1967 --_ ..._ TUTORS LINEBACKERS, ENDS: 4 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 freely about himself and f His players describe him a of the toughest coaches4 Michigan staff," but off th ing field he's quiet-spoke personable.

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." * M y De ense Hawks, By The Associated Press 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- Win 6 IL SIilel SABBATH SERVICE Tonight at 7:15 P.M.

Mikita made it 4-1 at 13:44. Lou Angotti scored Chicago's final goal at 9:41 of the third period. Jim Pappin powered in a goal at 19:52 for Toronto's final effort. eners 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. 4 11 HAVING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR APARTMENT?
