PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5,196(; PAESXTIEMCIGNDIY AUDYNVMERT16 ilStU By The Associated Press 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. itle Clincher Against in The winner of the Michigan- rit Illinois game still will have a Rose spr - -Wn Iowa Margin forro Gil Samherg 0 Surprising Minnesota, w h i c h1 bounced back from a 49-0 rout byI Michigan to upset Ohio State 17- 7, is pegged virtually evenly matched against a Northwestern, team which has refused to suc- cumb to an injury jinx.

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 Notre Dame, the nation's No. 1 for six from the foul line.

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. rTer, &Tiv Ienr4srer CAMPUS INTERVIEVW TUESDAY, NOV.

Seymour wrenched an ankle against Oklahoma three weeks ago and was kept out of the 31-7 triumph over Navy last week. Quarterback Terry Hanratty, who doesn't seem to be as effi- cient a passer without Seymour in the lineup, is expected to stay on the ground with halfback Nick Eddy and fullback Larry Conjar doing the heavy work.

NBA Scores Philadelphia 134, San Francisco 129 Cincinnati 120, Detroit 115 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. .1 SPECIALISTS IN POWER... POWER FOR PROPULSION-POWER FOR AUXILIARY SYSTEMS.
