Experience remains the best teacher, however, and the Oregon State pass "defenders" would have trouble finding better teachers than All-America c a n d i d a t e Clancy and quarterback Vidmer. Double Teaming If it appeared to the casual ob- server that Vidmer was favoring Clancy in the first game, he was absolutely correct. That was only part of the game plan. The Wol- verine coaching staff is out to prove that their adept receiver deserves to be double teamed by the opposition, and another Sat- urday like the last should con- vince any "doubting Thomas" around. Whether double teaming the Michigan captain will solve any of the opposition's problems is an- other matter. For one thing, Clancy hauled in one aerial while surrounded by three Beavers, and for another, Clayt Wilhite will be a very "lonesome end" with his teammate getting all that com- panionship. Less than Roses Looking much less effective than a year ago when he chalked up over 1000 yards rushing, Pete Pif- er, Oregon State fullback, man- aged to gain only 46 yards against a tough Michigan defense. Andros thought that his star back's per- formance~ which also included two' fumbles, was in part attributable to a bad shoulder. The score wasn't the only rea- son Brothers had to feel depress- ed. He completed as many passes in Oregon State's opening drive in the 1965 Rose Bowl as he did all day Saturday when he made good on only sx of 17 attempts. The play of, the Beaver defensive backfield contrasted sharply with their Wolverine counterparts, with John Rowser, Rick Volk, and Rick Sygar combining for 23 tackles, in addition to their fine anti-aircraft work.
