h THE MICHIGAN DAILY .......... / Il ichigan's Running Game Faces savyir, Att -c Staubach Definite Starter; Wolverines Eighth in Poll Texas, Army Battle in D Illni Opn igTnS 1 By BILL BULLARD Sports Editor Sixth - ranked Navy, a slight question mark with All-American Roger Staubach ailing, meets Coach Bump Elliott's eighth- ranked Michigan Wolverines today in a game that will pit Staubach's passing prowess against the Wol- verines' strong running game. Kick off time at Michigan Sta- dium is 1:30 p.m. Attendance may. hit 65,000 if skies are clear, ac- cording to ticket manager Don Weir. The Navy squad arrived at the Stadium yesterday afternoon and Coach Wayne Hardin stated that Staubach definitely will start for the Middies despite his ankle in- jury. Staubach was injured in the second quarter of Navy's opening game against Penn State two weeks ago. Last year's Heisman Trophy winner came back in that game to lead his team to its final touch- down in a 21-8 victory. He was only on the field for four plays last week as Navy trounced a weak William & Mary squad, 35-6. In that short space of time he handed off to halfback Kip Paske- wich who ran 71 yards for a touch- down and completed three straight passes, the last one for a TD. Can Roger Run? Hardin says Staubach's injury won't hurt his passing but might somewhat hinder his running threat. Staubach's two-game total offenses now stands at a mere 55 yards. The "Jolly Roger" equalled this output by the middle of the first period in last' year's Navy- Michigan game which the Middies won, 26-13. Michigan's b i g g e s t defensive problem today will be pass de- fense. Air Force's Tim Murphy, passed for 1230 yards against the Wolverines last week as Michigan won 24-7. Staubach rolled up 237 yards in the air against the Wol- verines last season and ran for 70 yards. Navy worked out for about 15 minutes in Michigan Stadium The Lineups I yesterday afternoon, just loosen- ing up after their plane trip. Out- side of Staubach, everyone on the Navy team is in good physical s h a p e. Staubach's understudy,, Bruce Bickel, has a broken nose which he suffered in the William & Mary game when he completed 11 of 19 passes and led Navy's first two touchdown drives. Offense Shines Michigan's running offense roll- ed up 311 yards on the ground and the passing offense accounted for 91 yards in the Air Force victory. This is the highest total offense output for Michigan in the six- year Bump. Elliott regime.. This mark puts Michigan sixth in total offense among the nation's major college teams. Elliott will start practically the same team as he did last Saturday. Junior Craig Kirby will probably replace senior John Henderson at right end.. Junior John Rowser, who a week before the season was running with the first team and who was a first-string defensive back last season, will not start in the defensive secondary today. Rowser sat out last Saturday's game with a leg injury and Elliott says he plans to work Rowser into the game as his injury permits. Five Pounds a Man Michigan's first team line aver- ages 212 lbs. to Navy's 207 lbs. Navy has three platoons. Its first team is a two-way unit, its second squad is an offensive group, and the third team specializes on de- fense. Navy's backfield is composed of Staubach, fullback Pat Donnelly, halfback Kip Paskewich and flankerback Skip Orr. Paskewich has the best running record on the team with a 9.2 average on 19, tries. The workhorse of the team is Donnellyi with 27 tries for a 3.4 average.: Orr is the top pass receiver on the team with seven receptions for 76 yards. Sophomore Carl Ward led Mich- igan rushers with an 8.5 yards per carry average last Saturday. An- other sophomore, Jim Detwiler, playing at the other halfback post in place of the injured Rowser, carried 6.5 yards per carry in the game. Seniors Lead But the rushing leaders in total yardage ,were a pair of seniors, quarterback Bob Timerlake and fullback Mel Anthony. Timberlake led the team in total yardage with 80 yards and Anthony was not far behind with 79 yards. On the line, they Wolverines will have junior Steve Smith and prob- ably junior Craig Kirby at the ends, juniors Chuck Kines and Tom Mack at the tackles, junior Dave Butler andsenior John Mar- cum at the guards, and senior Brian Patchen at center.

Staubach, everybo day's All-American and winner of the Heisman j Trophy in his junior year, played havoc with the Michigan defense in last year's bout with the Wol- verines. The senior from Cincinnati is renowned for his ability to avoid onrushing linemen and either, complete his pass or run for sizable yardage. Donnelly, a senior from Maumee, Ohio, is the team's leading rusher averaging 4.7 yards a carry over the last two seasons.

U*Ltt y V (&'% I t By BOB LEDERER If National polls are to be taken as guides, then the best football in the nation this year is being played in the Southeastern Con- ference. Six of the eleven teams in the conference were rated among the top twenty elevens in the country this past week by the Associated Press. Leading the conference is Ala- bama, currently rated fourth na- tionally. The Crimson Tide have won two decisive victories so far, 31-3 over Georgia and 36-6 against Tulane. Led by All-American quarterback Joe Namath, the Tide also has a strong line called "much smaller than most, much faster than most, more active than most." A stiffer test will come tonight as the Tide entertains Vanderbilt in Birmingham.. Sidle Leads Auburn Cited by some as the best back in the country, Jimmy Sidle re- turns to call the signals for Au- burn. The Tigers are currently 2- 0, having shut-out Houston (30-0) and Tennessee (3-0), and they are maintaining seventh place in the national poll. Tucker Fred- erickson (215), the tailback, has received pre-season All-American acclaim. Mississippi had been picked, with few exceptions, to be either the national champions or the runner- up before the season started and when they defeated Memphis St. 30-0 in the opener, it appeared as if they were on their way. How- ever, last Saturday Kentucky stag- ed a major upset in whipping the Rebels 27-21, which sent the con- ference ratings into a spin. Ole Miss has two fine running quar- terbacks in Jim Weatherly and Jim Heidel. "Their running poten- tial is the best Ole Miss has had in recent years." Ole Miss is expected to bounce back tonight against Houston in Oxford. Surprising Kentucky The week before dazing Mis- sissippi, Kentucky edged Detroit 13-6. Rick Norton, who showed "great promise" as a sophomore quarterback, has solid backfield running help, specifically in the form of Rodger Bird (195), the left half, who "oould be the SEC's most effective runner and pass catcher." Kentucky hosts Auburn tonight in Louisville with the winner emerging as the Southeast Con- ference's main power. The Fighting Tigers of LSU squeaked through their first two games with victories over TexasI A&M and Rice, 9-6 and 3-0. Screen Holds Key Pat Screen, who sat out most of last season after a "bright" begin- ning, is back as the field general. His potential is summed up as follows: "LSU, Alabama, and Auburn, rate as solid contenders for the championship if Ole Miss falters. And the fate of all three ride on the quarterbacking of a single man, Pat Screen." Florida, with two opening victories, has to be considered a contender along with the aforementioned five teams for the SEC championship. The backfield is the team's strong- est asset. "There isn't a better running back in the country than Larry Dupree (the Gator full- back)." Florida hosts the LSU Tigers last week. Even with Sidle sub-par, sev- enth ranlged Auburn is favored over Kentucky. Auburn sports a: stern defense, but Kentucky ex- ploded Mississippi's defensive theo- ries last week in a big upset. Sidle Sub-Par Alabama, ranked fourth in the nation, and an easy winner in two starts, is a top-heavy favorite against Vanderbilt at Birming- ham, Ala., tonight. The Midwest has a corner on much of the major action. rI addition to Navy at Michigan,, there's Southern California at Michigan State, Illinois at North-, western, Indiana at Ohio State, Purdue at Notre Dame and Wash- ington at Iowa, the latter one of four games scheduled for regional television coverage. TV Football The other TV games are Syra-, cuse at Holy Cross, the top game in the East; Arkansas at Texas Christian in a Southwest Confer- ence battle and Colorado State U. at Air Force.

Purdue has spent most of the indefinitely yesterday. week concentrating on a way to stop the Notre Dame passing com- bination of tuarterback John Hu- arte and end Jack Snow. The Irish, too, drilled heavily on defense, with three sophomores moving into the defensive line. Iowa Coach Jerry Burns has made a couple of changes in his defensive alignment before the Hawkeyes take the field against Washington. Wisconsin Idle Wisconsin, with little else to do, has started drills on Purdue for- mations in preparation for next week's meeting.

GW rolled up 10 first downs in the first half, but was penalized 47 yards. The lone Colonial score before the half came on a 10- yard pass from Steve Welpott to Tom Metz, first of two for Metz. The Colonials moved to a three- touchdown lead early in the third quarter, scoring on one-yard plunges by Jon Raemore and Harry Haught. In both cases, passes by Welpott put the ball in scoring position, one an 18-yarder to Paul Flowers and the other 12 yards to Fred Yakin.
