'M' Defense Gets Ready for Staubach
MISS SIX REGULARS:
Gophers Must Rebuild Squad
By GIL SAMBERG
When Roger Staubach and his1
fleet anchor at Michigan Stadium
this Saturday, the ghost of the
Heisman Trophy winner's record
shattering day of a year ago will
weigh heavy on the .shoulders of
the Michigan defensive backfield.
The entire group of defenders.
with one exception, is back for
another try at containing the.
Middies' passing attack. But there
is a big difference. "Last year we
had an all sophomorexbackfield,"
explains coach Don Dufek. The
Navy Fears.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (A) - Bob
Timberlake, who was seen by Navy
in only a kicking 'role last year,
is a major concern of the Middies
this week as they prepare for Sat-
urday's football game with Michi-
gan.
"Timberlake is the key to their
football team," chief scout Steve
Belichick says. "He's a big, strong
quar'terback and he runs and pass-
es equally well."
Belichick, who scouted the Wol-
verines in their 24-7 opening vic-
tory ever Air Force last Saturday,.
told sports writers at Navy yes-
terday that they are a much bet-
ter team than the one the Mid-
dies whipped 26-13 last year..
Timberlake had a separated
shoulder and was limited to kick-
ing duty in last year's.game.
This year it's Navy's quarter-
baick, All-America Roger Stau-'
bach, who is ailing.
He bruised an Achilles tendon in
the second quarter of Navy's open-
er against Penn State Sept. 19 and
played only three minutes against
William and Mary last Saturday.
Coach Wayne Hardin said Stau-
bach will start against Michigan'
but "he can't run like he has done
-he can't scramble."
"He needs time and rest for the
injury to heal, but we just 'don't
have it," Hardin added.
Major League
Standings,
experience gained last season by
juniors Tom Cecchini; Barry Deh-
lin, John Rowser, and Dick Rind-
fuss, should be an important fac-
tor. Only sophomore Rick Volk,
taking over at the halfback spot
for injured Jack Clancy, is new
to the defensive secondary.
Rowser, out last week with an
ankle injury, will return for the
Wavy game. Re is expected to pro-
vide added strength to the pass
defense. Dick Sygar, now in his
'first year of play, filled in for
him against the Air Force.
In last year's contest, Stau-'
bach scampered and hustled be-
hind one or two blockers, staying
just out of the reach of the on-
rushing Wolverine defenders and
generally had his greatest collegi-
ate day by gaining 237 yards via
the stratosphere, not to mention
his 70 yards ober the turf, tops
among the game's rushers.
Has he changed? "No, he's the
same old Staubach," says Dufek,
after hearing the scouting reports
of Navy's, first two games. During
the second game, against ?tau-
bach's traditional cousin, William
and Mary, he was only in the gam
for a minute-"just long enough
to get two touchdowns."
Hem in Staubach
This is1 what the pass defense
is up against. The linemen have
to get "Jolly Roger" hemmed in
and keep him there in order to
make the backfield's job a little
easier. In this week's practices,
Coach Bump Elliott has his de-
fense working against an offense
outfitted in the visitor's white
shirts with the numbers of the
Navy team. Number 12 is a dan-
gerous one in this practice. The
Navy offensive team runs plays
taken from last year's movies as.
well as those spotted by end Coach
Jocko Nelson when he scouted
the Middies this fall. When the
defense stops a play by batting
down a pass, Coach Bob Hollway
tells them-"That one went for 54
yards and a touchdown last year."
They listen and bear down harder.
Loses Four Receivers
The defensive backfield's prob-
lems may be eased slightly with
the knowledge that four of the
eight receivers, used by Staubach
in last year's game, have not re-
turned to the Academy this year.
Though Jim Campbell and Johnny
Sai are gone, Staubach still has
his favorite receiver, Ed Orr, as
well as fullback Pat Donnelly. The
possibility of playing man-to-man
in the open field against the like.
of Orr seems remote.
Another phase of the Blue passt
defense is in the hands of such ends
as Captain Jim Conley, Jeff
Hoyne, Craig Kerby, and Ben Far-
abee. On a pass play they can
either drop back with a receiver
or red-dog against the quarter-
back, depending upon the play
called by linebacker Cecchini. A'

previewing the Big Tent teams.

Minnesota Coach Murray War-
math expects his team to be bet-+
ter than they were a year ago.'
The Gophers finished in'ninth
place in the Big Ten last year
with a dismal 2-5 record (3-6
overall), a far cry from the 8-1
record in 1960 which gave them
the national championship. While
it appears that the only way to go
is up, most experts doubt it.
In their home opener last Sat-
urday, the Gophers were toppedr
by Nebraska, 26-21. Considering
the score, Minnesota put up a good
effort; however, the Gophers had
been expected to sneak by the
Cornhuskers.
"We are still searching for the
best men at both tackles, guards
quarterback, right halfback, and
fullback." This statement by War-
math coupled with the equally pes-
simistic statement which follow
gives the impression that all isn't
rosy in Minneapolis. "Coaching
ctaff nncn s iq that the 19432
The backfield is a big question
mark. Four men are vying forI
quarterback, but Warmath says+
"Right now we just don't know i:
there is one real Big Ten caliber3
quarterback in this group. Thi
remains to be seen." John Hank-
inson (6-1, 185) did most of the
work on Saturday.
The starting halfbacks are Bilk I
Crockett and Ray Whitlow, bothb
of whom are extremely small (571
10, 158 and 5-9, 161, respectively)
and are admittedly not overwhelm-
ing or extremely fleet-footed. 7
Reid Returns. 1
Fullback Mike Reid is the only;
solid fixture in the backfield. Reid
was a starter last year and led7
the Gopher groundgainers with
392 yards at 3.8 yards per carry.
He also handles the place-kicking
chores and led the team in scor-
ing last fall with 31 points. Fred
Farthing (205) will pressF Reid for
the fullback berth.
Defensively, Captain Joe Puny
(208) and Pau' Faust (210) han-
dle the linebacking chores. Both
lettered last year and are char-
acterized as being "highly cap-
Chet Anderson and Ken Last, both
offensive ends-the position the
Gophers are strongest in. Ander-
son (6-3, 225) was all-state in
high school and is called "strong
and active." Last '(6-4,, 203) was
also a member of the all-state
scholastic squad.
Most grid experts have placed
the Gophers to finish among the
bottom three in the Big Ten this
year due to noticeable deficiencie,
in the backfield and defense. In
obvious disagreement with Coach
Warmath is Otis Dypwick, the
Minnesota public relations direc-
tor, who seems to side with the
experts, having said, "The pros-
pects are so dreary I even hate
to think about them."

DICK SYGAR (18) AND JIM CONLEY hit Air Force halfback Dick Czarnota with bruising tackles
after he received a Tim Murphy pass in last Saturday's game. End Bill Landes (86) is the Air Force
player in the 'background. This Saturday, defensive back Sygar and end Conley will be out to stop
the aerials of All-America Roger Staubach of Navy.
Last week the Falcons' Tim Mur-
phy gave the , backfield its bap-
tism under fire for ithe year. Ii
was noticed that his completiorns
were mainly short passes where he
consistently pinpointed his receiv-
ers. "In the type of pass play
they used, the defender would have
to crawl over the back of the re-
ceiver to get- to the ball," said
Dufek. In the second half, this
was done and a key pass interfer-
ence penalty was called against
the Blue bringing the ball down
to the Michigan seven yard line.
Air Force scored its only touch-
down four plays later.
Except for specific defensive
plays used against different op-
ponents, pass defense is a repeti-
tion of practice against oppon-
ents' plays and the continual pol-
ishing of basic individual cover-
age. Basically, this is what is be-
ing done at Ferry Field.
'Rabbit Drill'
In addition, all of the defensive
units participate in a "Rabbit
Drill." This tactic is used to keep
the quarterback surrounded by,
charging opponents. One player
acts as a back trying to pass; the
others, moving in teams, must run
with him, keeping low in a posi-'
tion ready to make a tackle. The
passer moves back, supposedly
looking for a receiver, dodging
and running while the rest pursue
The defenders have to prevent the
quarterback from breaking away
but must never touch him. This
drill continues over the entire
length of the field.

GRID SELECTIONS
Attempting to understand the
game of football, Michigan Daily
coach Ed (The Scribbler) Her-
stein prepares for tomorrow's
game against the Union.
"The way I understand it is that
these two mobs come out of these
outhouses onto this cow pasture.-
Then they start hitting each other
and some guy breaks into the clear
with this football. People start
cheering and this guy in a prison
suit goes through several contor-
tions with his hands."
If The Daily coach is able to
understand the game, The Daily
will play the Union tomorrow af-
ternoon All grid selections must
be brought or mailed to The Daily,
420 Maynard St., by, noon Friday
because of this early game. The
winner will receive two tickets to
the Michigan Theatre, now show-
ing "Behold a Pale Horse." Only
one selection is allowed per per-
son and the winner is eligible for
the grand prize at the end of the
season.

A t Wooster
Michigan's soccer club, in itsi
first year of intercollegiate com-
petiton, goes looking for its firstI
win of the season tomorrowi
against the College of Wooster att
Wooster, Ohio.J
The Michigan kickers dropped
the first game of their collegiatex
career to Denison two weeks ago,t
6-0, but have since been rein-
forced by the addition of severalI
experienced players. Larry Kobel,t
senior transfer from Indiana, willf
bolster the defense as a substitutei
at right halfback, while DieterI
Stefankovic, a returnee from lastf
year's intramural team, will al-c
ternate with Mario Winter at out-<
side left on offense.
Wooster is in its second year of
varsity competition; its first with
a full-time coach. The Fighting
Scots were 2-6-2 overall last year,
and finished next to last in the
eastern division of the Ohio Soc-
cer Association.

As the Bible directs, The Daily's
hearty chroniclers will wear "the
breastplate of faith, and for a
helmet, the hope of salvation,"
in Friday's holy brawl.'
Coach Ed (The Scribbler) Her-
stein is dubious of The Daily
Libels' chances after watching; a
few of his charges work out. "Our
faith is great, but I wish we had
someone who could pass," he says
woefully. "I think we might have
a chance against the League."
Daily Trainer
Jon (Black and Blue) White,
D a i 1 y trainer, physician and
stretcher-bearer, has probably put
in more practice time than any
other Libel. "Making tourniquets
and mending crutches are my spe-
cialty. I think I may have my
greatest day against the Union."
Louise (Gone With the Wind)
Lind, Libel cheerleade', is prim-
ing for the contest by composing
original cheers. "'The Locomotive'
just doesn't fit this year's team.
'The Little Red Caboose' is more
in keeping with The Daily's
caliber."
But the practical business of
building a man-eating football
team out of a bunch of lotus eat-
ers continu'es in The Daily park-
ing lot. Says Coach Herstein, "I
feed them raw meat for dinner
and what do they do? They go
down and cook it 'til it's well done
on the Linotype machines."
