Stadium Blvd. I'q'l I IN By JIM BERGER The 1961 edition .of the Minne- sota Gophers is out to prove that defense is all that is necessary to win ball games. Last year's Big Ten co-cham- pions and national champions are first in the conference and fourth in the natiori in total defense. Their offense, averaging 186.3 yards per game, has shown a lack of scoring punch. In three games, the Gophers have lost to Missouri 6-0, and de- feated Oregon 14-7 and North- western 10-3. Powerful Again The victory over Northwestern proved that the Gophers will again be a power in the Big Ten. North- western, undefeated going into last Saturday's game, had rolled up two impressive wins (over unim- pressive opponents) and boasted of a team loaded with offensive, power. Minnesota allowed the Wildcats 197 yards. In their loss to Missouri, they allowed 96 yards, and against Oregon 162 yards. This defense is even more im- pressive considering Minnesota's graduation losses in the line, namely everyone's All - America Tom Brown (243), also Frank Brixius (260), and Greg Larson (218). Building Year Murray Warmath, Minnesota coach, had a mere 20 lettermen returning, and with no "super sophomores" in sight had pre- pared for a building year. What their line lost in weight last year, the Gophers have evi- dently, gained in speed. Averaging 207 pounds per man it is the light- est Gopher line in more than a decade. However, every lineman is a returning letterman. The weight is centered around tackles Bobby Bell (214) and Jim Wheeler (214) and guard Robin Teller (251). Bell was one of the. Big Ten's best first-year linemen last year as a sophomore. Wheeler, a soft spoken pre-divinity student Purdue Coach Has Operation ROCHESTER, Minn (AP) - Pur- due football coach Jack Mollen- kopf will be back at the coaching helm in two to three weeks, doc- tors at Mayo Clinic reported yes- terday after Mollenkopf under- went surgery. has two years of valuable experi- ence. Rounding out the first string, line are ends Tom Hall (194) and Bob Deegan (202), guard John Mulvena (210), and converted cen- ter Dick Enga (203). Enga lettered as a fullback last year. Hall is an exceptional defensive end. Offensively the Gophers are ex- ceptionally weak. Sandy Stephens, their very highly-touted 6'2", 212- pound quarterback, has scored all MINNESOTA DEFENDS CHAMPIONSHIP: Defense Gophers' Best Offense '- the touchdowns this year, but has done little else. Stephens has car- ried the ball 38 times for 199 yards and a powerful 2.8 average. His passing is even better. He has tried 42 and completed seven. In addition, six have been intercepted. His total passing yardage is 116, and he has thrown no touchdown passes. Bill Munsey; junior left half- back, is the leading rusher on the Gopher squad. ,He has picked up 78 yards in 16 carries for a 4.3 average. Judge Dickson also has an average over 4.0. Dickson has chalked up 92 yards in 20 carries for a 4-1 average. Their total rushing, offense averages 2.9 yards per carry. This weekend they travel to Champaign to take on winless Illi- CAMPUS* STYLED nois. Minnesota has not won at Champaign since 1917, but are rated as strong favorites Saturday. With their powerful defense, Minnesota could become the spoil- ers of the conference this season. In addition to Michigan, they play Michigan State, currently number one in the Big Ten, and also Iowa.

Hall, among the Conference's speedier ends, led the Gophers in passes caught in 1960; he and Bell are vital components of Minnesota's top-notch defensive line.

The Wolverine coaching staff, fans, and players alike keep insisting that the team "isn't that bad." It's a negative attitude to take, but regardless of the attitude, it's going to take guts to take the field against Purdue before many of the same fans that saw the debacle against the Spartans. The situation is remarkably the same as one three years ago. Remember that? After a reasonable start that inluded a vic- tory over Southern California, a tie with Michigan State, and a six point loss to a good Navy team, the Wolverines were demolished by little Northwestern, 55-24. The team NU threw against the Wolverines that day was admit- tedly one of the better Wildcat aggregtions. 'Still Michigan was rated a slight favorite at kickoff on the strength of its creditable showing in the first three games. Disbelief at NU... IT WASN'T A HAPPY SATURDAY for Michigan fans. Clustered around radios throughout the state their disbelief grew with every touchdown hill Stegath described. In football press boxes across the nation tickertapes brought the score. The football world was amazed. Announcers picking up their score sheets read, "Northwestern 43, Michigan 0 (half)," and then stuttered. that they'd have to check it. No Michigan team had ever been handed a beating of such unbelievable proportions. When the Wolverines hobbled home the question of the b hour was, "Can Michigan ever recover?" This week the ques- tion and the circumstances are identical. A good start against UCLA and Army has all but been discounted. The blasting by the Spartans erased all that. It's a new season now.. It's not going tg be easy for Michigan to take the field Saturday against a good Purdue team. It's going to take guts to held their hea, high and play football without looking back. The crowning blow is that it's Homecoming. It was Homecoming three years ago too, against Minnesota. Thecast has been changed but the setting is the same. Three years ago the Wolverines roared back. The Minnesota team wasn't the best in the world, but then neither was Michigan. The fact remains that the Wolverines came back. Fight for Lives .. . HEY HAD TO FIGHT for their lives, and only when t'he Gopher quarterback overthrew receivers repeatedly in the clear on the Michigan 20-yd. line in the waning moments was the 20-19 victory, secure. It took a 58-yd. sprint on the first play from scrimmage in the second half by Darrell Harper to withstand the Minnesota rally and a missed Gopher two-point extra point try, but the Wolverines won. The victory saved the season. Without it there's no telling how long they would have floundered. As it was Michigan didn't win another game, but at least they were a football team, They battled from 14 points behind to tie powerful Iowa in the third quarter before losing, and and gave strong Illinois and Indiana teams a run for their money. And in the last game it took a desperation drive in the fourth quarter by Ohio State to beat the Wolverines, 20- 14. What happens Saturday against Purdue may well make the differ- ence this year. A second crushing loss in a row could spell the end. A victory on Homecoming weekend could provide the spark for the final six games. Which way will Michigan go?
