With Soph-L The University of Michigan basketball team, a "new look" out- fit if ever there was one, offi- cially kicked off its 1966 season yesterday. Seventeen players, ten of them sophomores, joined head coach Dave Strack in Yost Field House for light drills and preliminary instructions. Only three seniors are listed on the roster. Two of them, Co-Cap- tains Craig Dill and Dennis Ban- key together have nearly all of the squad's game experience. Dill is a 6'10" center from Saginaw while Bankey is a 6' guard from Detroit. The third senior is Marc Delzer, a 6'3" guard who has seen only sporadic action in the past.

"How can a football coach make a mistake?", the Alumns are screaming. You can't make a mistake. You've got to win, win, win, win. To hell with character, to hell even with being a human being. Just win. "'Duffy wouldn't have made that mistake." "Woody wouldn't have done it." Its not true. The only thing Duffy and Woody wouldn't have done is stood in the lockerroom and faced the reporters. That's what Bump did. And that's the Michigan tradition. Some think it's win, win, win, win, win. I think it's men like Bump. Mayby that's what they want though. A kill, kill kill, man-a Duffy. After all, it's college football the pros. Bring him in, then. Michigan only had ten losing seasons in fifty years. And Bump had four of them. Somehow, somewhere, somebody must know that there are more important things than winning. At least I think there are and I think Fritz Crisler thinks so too. There's character. What Bump has and what he puts in his players. That's what'Michigan bought when they bought Bump. And he hasn't let them down for one minute, whether they know it or not. Kill, kill, kill; win win, win. College man-the pros. I'll take Bump. Just because he's real. Not super. Not a Duffy, not a Woody. Just a person. A human being. A football coach too. And when two teams play, one loses, no matter how much money the alums give. Bump lost Saturday. But he'll win his share. He won a Rose Bowl two years ago. He'll win again, too. Maybe not here. Maybe they will get rid of him. Maybe some place where they want a coach who knows how to lose as well as how to win. Who has character. Who has guts. Bump. What is and what might have been. To be 0-2 and out of contention or 1-1 and playing for roses. It's over now. The game and the verdict on Bump Elliott. An entire campus deliberated for nearly a second and returned with a unanimous decision of guilty. Last Saturday Elliott elected to try a field goal to beat Purdue. Elliott who normally becomes irate when his judgment is questioned, simpy admitted that given the opportunity to decide over again, he might have done it differently. But that is not the issue. His call had to be based on scads of information far more complex than was know to the fan. It was more than a to kick or not to kick proposition. But that is not the issue either. The call was not a good one, but it was not a decision that lost the game. Yet that too is not the issue. It comes down to a point where you wonder about people a lot more than you wonder about a field goal. You wonder a lot more about people than you do about what might have been if the Wolverines had tried for a first down. I lost my faith in a flock of football fans, not in their coach. Can a missed 35-yard field goal turn an apathetic student body into vigilantes. How little is needed to turn a crowd into a mob. Or how much is needed. Where was Harlan Hatcher hung in effigy when he sent left wing activity membership lists to the House Un-American Activities Committee. Who cares enough to send, Wilbur Pierporit an open letter condemning him for totally disregarding campus intramural and recreation needs. Where are the vicious signs maligning a school administration which constantly ignores student interests. When a group attacks any of these issues, the majority of stu- dents simply turn away. They restrain their venom for something more decisive and clear cut. They patiently wait for an anemic field goal try. And pow, then they let loose. Maybe everyone else is still growling about last Saturday's game. My fist are still clenched too but for a different reason. Bump, you've wrecked my senior year. You've made me aware of what a foul, irrational blob of which I am forced to consider myself a part. -.

Special To The Daily EAST LANSING-The Michigan LaCrosse Club saw a first halfj lead of 3-2 vanish as Michigan State came on strong in the sec- ond half to defeat the Wolverines 7-4, Sunday.I Michigan, which has never beat- en the Spartans in the game in- vented by Indians, had the match well under control throughout most of the first half. Led by Bill Toogenain, who netted three goals in the game, the Maize and Blue completely dominated the slow moving first half which saw MSUI score both of its goals on fastI breaks. One of Toogenain's goals in the first half was a fluke that was assisted in by the Spartan goalie. The other Wolverine goal in the game was scored by Vic Zerby. In the second half, the tables turned as Michigan committed costly mistakes and suffered in- juries that allowed the Spartans to take the game away from them. The match, probably the best ever played by a Michigan team, caught a surprised Spartan team offguard in the first half with its aggressive play. Michigan had many more shots on goal than Michigan State in the game but was just not able to break the ice more times than the Spartans. The many Michigan penalties in the second half were the turning points of the game. As in hockey when a man commits an infrac- tion, he is sent off the playing field for a period of time. During this period the penalized team is shorthanded. When this happened to the Wolverines, the Spartans took full advantage and scored against a Michigan defense which lacked some veteran players who were unable to make the trip here. Michigan will seek revenge for its frustrating loss against Mich- igan State in Ann Arbor on Oct. 29.
