THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER S, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PACtR gVVRW ThRDY SPEBR8,96T E MIHG N DAL Aum'Qrv. * s eAs. .,aV Ct By RICK STERN Bump Elliott could have used Wally Weber this fall. Wally usually gives . an orienta- tion speech to incoming freshmen at the University but Elliott has so many newcomers on his football coaching staff that it might have been- worthwhile. The dust has cleared after the biggest staff shake-up in eight years of Wolverine sports and no fewer than four new men occupy desks in' the ,athletic building. Three coaches, Jocko Nelson, Don Dufek, and Bob Hollway, departed, which means, of course, that a new position was created, bringing the total to 'eight. Prominent among the newcom- ers is Dcon James, a. 33 year old native of Massilon, Ohio, who has served as an assistant coach at Florida State University for the past seven years. James was brought to Michigan because of his experience in working with the Oklahoma-type defense which the Wolverines now employ. His official title is defensive bacKfield coach which means he has charge of the likes of Rick Volk, Mike .Bass, John Rowser and Rick Sygar. Northern Supremacy James talked yesterday about some of the comparisons he has made between Michigan and Flor- ida State. "Mainly the climate. Seriously, I would say that the kids are basically the same as far as enthusiasm and spirit is con- 4 cerned-really good. I wouldn't poaches Con stance, as the linemen use, you can't see where the flankers are. From the defensive backfield you can see changes and make corres- ponding adjustments." YC James was hired last March and recommended Y C McNease, who had coached and played un- der him at Florida State. McNease was hired a month later. He has charge of the defensive ends and the linebackers. McNease had coached at Wichita for two years and Texas Western one year, before joining the Wol- verines. "Here at Michigan I have better football players," he com- ments. "They are intelligent and quick to learn." James and McNease bothtof- fered opinions as to what their philosophies of coaching involve and how they fit in here. Said James, "I don't have any one basic coaching technique. Boys react differently in different situations. There are times when a chewing out might be effective and there are times when a boy might reject it." Get Them Ready McNease seems more along the lines of Tony Mason, a hard hit- ting, aggressive coach. "Every coach has a different way. I find that I can get a lot out of a boy by pushing him. I strongly believe in pushing during the pre-season period in order to get ready then. e to, I face each player as an individual, and I feel that you always have to be fair to the individual. During the average day of prac- tice, McNease and James, along with line coach Denny Fitzgerald, work exclusively with the defens- ive units. They spend the morning studying and making changes in personnel and plan practice ac- cordingly. "We look at every de- fense we run," says McNease, "and decide on the defenses we need to stress. We have checked out Oregon State, our first op- r 'I Defense ponent, but it will take time to adjust to their offense."f Movie Fanss Says James "We've looked at seven Oregon State films and know pretty well their every move,1 including formations, plays, and passes. Of course we can't be sure of what changes they will have made since last season."io The two remaining additions to 2 the coaching staff are both for-l mer Wolverine players. Georgei Mans, the offensive end coach,l was captain of the 1961 team to climax three seasons of outstand- ing end play. Mans, 26 years old, had entered the business world after graduating, but returned to coaching in 1964uat Michigan Tech. He was an assistant last year at Eastern Michigan University. Fitzgerald's r epl1a c e ment asi freshman coach is Bill Dodd. Dodd, a 24-year old native of Vir- den, Ill., won letters as a half- back and fullback in 1962 and 1963. He earned a Masters degree in education and served for two years as backfield coach at West Leyden High School in Northlake, Ill. Three Returnees Returning from last year's staff are Tony Mason, Hanke Fonde and Fitzgerald. Fonde, 42 years old, is the veteran of the group, having been with Elliott from thef beginning in 1959. Fonde serves as backfield coach. - ii+ The tobacco-chewing Mason is a 35 year old native Ohioan starting his third year as offens- ive line coach. Coaching high school before coming to Michigan, his Niles, Ohio, teams won 47 games and lost three in a seven year span. Fitzgerald, a native of Ann Ar- bor, born 30 yearsiago, has the new title of Interior Defensive Line Coach. He starred as Wol- verine halfback in 1959-60 and had served as freshman coach since 1962.

Most of what I've seen is from iiims, though." James then explained what he considered to be the advantage of the new defensive system. "There are five men on the line instead of six, which immediately gives us the opportunity to play another defensive back. We have two line- backers, two backs and two safe- ties. What this means is that we will have six men who can make quick adjustments to the offense we are facing. In a four point yUN UTf d you can't find it GEORGE MANS J KOK >c K~-i Rick Yolk, Michigan defensive back, started at quarterback in yesterday's. scrimmage. He was later replaced by first-string sig- nal caller Dick Vidmer. John Thomas and Dennis Brown also saw action at the key slot. Former Michigan shortstop Bob Gilhooley, captain of the 1966 Wolverine nine, is leading States- powerful Spartan back underwent knee surgery last winter. Illinois added seven players to their casualty list yesterday. Cyril Pinder, a key player in the Illini ground attack, -was among those injured. All of the mishaps were of a minor nature. The printing presses began roll- ing in four major league cities yesterday after Commissioner Wil- liam Eckert gave them the go-: ahead to make up World Series tickets. Three National League contenders, Pittsburgh, Los Ange- les and San Francisco, were given the green light, along with Balti- more of the American League. Joe Namath, the original bonus baby of pro football, was listed as a possible starter for the New York Jets' contest with the Miami Dol- phins tomorrow night. According to Jet officials, Namath is "phys- ically able and ready to play." Five United States track and field stars scored victories in an international meet in Cologne, Germany. Ralph Boston led the way with a win in his specialty, the broad jump. He leaped 26'81/4". A battle for the quarterback spot is shaping up at Notre Dame between sophomore gunners Ter- ry Hanratty and Coley O'Brien. Coach Ara Parseghian gave Han- ratty the slight edge at present, but called the race a real "see- saw." Parseghian said the two con- tenders, both ace passers, will en- able the Fighting Irish to open up their attack more this season. TM SPOTLIGHT You don't remember how you ever got conned into doing this. It's about 90 degrees out on some sultry September afternoon and you're running a God-awful complicated pass pattern when some gangling giant steps callously in the way and you digest some three acres of Mother Earth. You think about how easy the Pfc.'s have it over in the rice pad- dies where, the dirt is at least soft when you land. But then you catch the next one in a neat over-the-shoulder gambit as the collegiate Cyclops whams down merrily on his back --and you suddenly recapture the spirit of the game. You remember now the archaic textbook atmosphere of. your room where your roommate spends 23 hours cramming for some silly openbook quiz, and it feels great to be outside sweating and churning up and down Wines field in the first touch football game of the intra- mural season. Some 200 teams will be again taking part in intramural football, under the auspices of Intramural Director Earl Riskey and Associate Director Rodney Grambeau, as the program heads into its 55th year at Michigan. Football will have a longer and more extensive schedule this year, despite the loss of two fields to expanding parking facilities for the stadium, since fall softball has been phased out of the program. The intramural grid season starts the week of September 19th, a week after tennis initially kicks off the I-M program. Be- fore the school year is finished, 36 different sports will have their day or days in the limelight. For the sportsminded frosh, the residence hall division provides all the competition and work he will ever want. For the other stu- dents and the teachers there are the fraternity, independent; gradu- ate and faculty divisions. The independents are a breed unto themselves--coming from all parts of the campus, from Fletcher Hall and from the Navy ROTC and from among frustrated apartment jocks. They have nicknames like the Ramblers and the Maple Leafs (an all-Canadian team) and have varying life-spans. Some new teams will probably be born tonight at the an- nual pre-season meeting for prospective independents, 7:30 p.m., at the IM Building. Any individual who wants to get in on the action is promised a spot on some team. ,Riskey expects about 30 independent squads to again be com- peting and some 30 fullbacks running wickedly off left tackle into the storied world of tennis shoes and sprained ankles. -HOWARD KOHN THE BLACKS Genet's provocative and frightening play . . . pro- duced by the Department of Comparative Literature with an all-Negro cast.
