CHICAGO -,The scrap for the
Rose Bowl berth, denied this sea-
son to front-running defending
champion Michigan State, is fo-
cused, on two contests in today's
five game Big Ten football pro-
gram.
The Spartans are currently
ranked second to Notre Dame in
the AP poll, and grid enthusiasts
are already looking forward to a
season finale clash between East
Lansing's defensive giants and the
offensively-strong Irish on Nov.
19.
With no Bowl motivation open
to MSU, Duffy Daugherty has
been pointing to the final game
as a fitting climax to two years
among the nation's gridiron rul-
ers. To maintain its eligibility for
a national championship, Mich-
Seeks
igan State (5-0) must first top I
Iowa (1-4) today.
Michigan State can cinch a title
tie by disposing of Iowa, thus giv-
ing the Spartans a 6-0 record with
only Indiana left on their con-
ference card.
The top Bowl candidates, Pur-
due (3-1) and Minnesota (2-1-1),
have road tests at Wisconsin (1-
2-1) and Northwestern (1-2-1) re-
spectively.
sIn other games, Illinois (2-2) is
at Michigan (2-2), and Indiana
(1-2-1) visits Ohio State (1-3).
Purdue, which never nas played
in the Rose Bowl, is rated a 14-
point choice over Wisconsin's
Badgers, who hope that predicted
near-freezing weather may ham-
per Boilermaker passing star Bob
Griese.
Temperatures in the 30's are
forecast generally in the Midwest.
Such readings could nip passing
and catching efficiency on the
first really cold Saturday of the
season.

SCRIMMAGE SHOWS INCONSISTENCY:

Slowly, gym sprint by sprint,
lay-up by lay-up Michigan's bas-
ketball team blends into a shape.
Completing its third full week
of practice, the soph-laden cage
squad held a 40-minute scrimmage
yesterday which left coach Dave
Strack with an impression of
"consistent inconsistency."
The squad was divided into
"Blue" and "Yellow" units. The
'Blue," Strack's current starting
five, included Dennis Bankey and
Jim Pitts at the guards, Dennis
Stewart and Bob Sullivan at for-
wards, and Craig Dill at center.
Pitts was top scorer with 23
points, netting nine of 14 from the
field for 64.3 per cent. He was five

an apparently voluptuous summer,
was held to four markers.
The final score was "Blue" 81,
"Yellow" 66. The overall team
shooting percentage for both
squads combined was 42.2. Free
throw percentage was a sporadic
57.5, though members of the Blue
team hit on 15 of 20 for 75 per
cent. Rebounding leaders were
Dill with 11, Stewart and Willie
Edwards, 10 apiece, and Adams,
who snatched 9.
A not so encouraging statistic
was the 49 bad passes and lost
balls that the teams combined for,
though the first unit was guilty,
of only 15.

Elaborating on his early-season
S impression of the team, Strack
said that he felt progress had
been "average, but not as fast as
NNWNWW would like it to be. At times we

ur pointed to co-captains Dill and

said that sophomores Sullivan and
Stewart still need "to marshall

that "though both have been in-

lent potential."

Once upon a time there was a game that tore gut from a healthy
percentage of the multitude which saw it. And it wasn't played far
from here.
I, a very partial Michigan fan, walked away from it in silence,
trying not to think about each of the things which caused this team
to lose. So many little things. And each time the mistake had been
made this team came back strong to not just hang on, but to press
hard, to win it.
They didn't. They showed that at that point in the season they
were a good team, but not a great team. Not one of the best. The best
can overcome even themselves.
So when the Boilermakers kangarooed off the field at the end
with their 22-21 win, there was a random bitterness in the grand-
stands which was provided with a focal point only by Michigan's
last play of the game.
Thinking of Carl Ward slamming that lousy ball down after being
caught from behind on the two-it would've been the long glory dash
which that tough speed demon never quite seems to get. . . . Thinking
of Stan Kemp's booming spirals-one of them hitting a phantom
wall. . . . Thinking of Rick Sygar following a fair catch down the
field, watching it like a hawk instead of taking out the first Purdue
player charging in on him, only to have it jump at him. ... Thinking
of the irony of the quarterback's instinct to move the ball as opposed
to the lineman's instinct to fall on it-and Dick Vidmer's attempt to
run with a fumble, which prevented an easy field goal.... Thinking
of the last decision . . . of how good they had been, of how easy they
had made the game look, of how well they had played, of how great
it had been to be there: . . . And choking on it you said things. "I
don't believe it. How bad can they be?"
"You know why Elliott's coaching now? So he can get really
good at messing things up. . . . Then they'll move him up to
Fritz's job."
It was only then that 1 saw something diferent, something short-
lived but very different.
It appeared that there were people who gave a damn . . . for
people.
The football team is by no means a group completely integrated
into the rest of the student body. It is the major reason for Saturdays
in the fall. It is the gravy train to the Rose Bowl, and you ride it for
all it's Worth. It provides an incompatible but happy pride in the name
of the school. It is something you cheer for and hope for sincerely.
But it is still an "It" thing. An "It" institution. Or at best
Ia non-inclusive 'Us."
And it suddenly became a "they" and "we" sort of thing. Every-
one has been a "winner . . almost" at one time or another. And so
you asked about how Rick Sygar really must have felt. About how
Stan Kemp felt. About how Dick Vidmer felt. About how Nunley and
Morgan and Clancy felt. About how Bump felt.
For about a week. It lasted for about a week, I guess. And you
could feel it when the Blue came onto the field against Minnesota for
Homecoming. The crowd had come to see the Wolverines play. They
had come to see the Blue win for Michigan, and for themselves. There
would be no Rose Bowl to think about for this year.
But they came to cheer for, to support, the men who they hoped
would get satisfaction. Prove themselves to themselves.
It was a team and, not its "fans," but its friends. Its boosters.
It occurred to me only after the Wolverines''first quick score that
they were going to be too good. Too good. The 49-0 wipe that fol-
lowed figured to put the damper to most of the emotion which had
charged the stadium for a part of that day.
But Wisconsin was away.
Welcome home!
And the team is better. Healthy, it has- what is perhaps the best
best backfield in the country. The Blue can play like the Champions
of the West. But there will be no satisfaction from the major college
polls.. .
What's left is they're winning for you, and your cheering for
them. And that's the best of it all.
