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' EDITOR's NOTE: This is the eighth article in the Daily series previewing the Big Tent teams. By BOB LEDERER 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."

HURON 665-3688 "Serving Ann Arbor Since 1950" , i , -Daily-Kamalakar Rao 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. BIER .BOWL Daily Libel Coach PredictsDefeat?

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. So.ccer Cl.u~b 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.

Main, Ann Arbor 663-4213 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." 1 _.. i t 1 ' . 4 { . 4.f S 7 BRAWNY, R IH DLE ATHER WWNTHITPHS Step into Waxhide and get that real manly feeling.
