It's Saturday, the first big grid
payday, and now the answers start
coming in.
Can Ohio State's vaunted in-
vincibles live up to a pre-season
rating that seats them in the top
slots of every poll in the nation?
Will Michigan Sate's powerhouse
first unit be able to weather both-
way play and stay healthy with a
lack of Spartan depth on the
bench? And Minnesota-how will
the Gophers fare with the loss of
Mr. Everything Sandy Stephens
from the quarterback slot?
Eight Games
The answers to these and a
hundred other questions will sound
today as the Big Ten football ma-
chine gets into high gear with
eight conference squads in action.
(Northwestern and Purdue remain
idle after games last weekend.)
Ohio State, loaded and cocked,
are defending conference cham-
pions, the second-rated team in
the nation a year ago and picked
by almost everyone to go all the
way this time around. Coach
Woody Hayes' Bucks are without
crunching fullback Bob Ferguson
this fall but are fully equipped to
do everything without him. The
line is as solid as General Motors
stock - the backfield line-up
sounds like the All-Big Ten first
team. Klein, Warfield, Mummy,
Mrukowski, Katterhenrich, and
Sparma form a backfield crew
that's going to be hard to stop
on the Bucks' schedule-especially
today, when North Carolina comes
to visit.
And Then MSU
The Tarheels were thrown for
a 7-6 loss by North Carolina State
last Saturday, and the Southern-
i
'
.
_
ers take on Michigan State's Spar-
tans next week. Coach Jim Hickey
is fielding a soph-laden first
squad: three of the four starting
backs-including QB Gary Black
-are newcomers.
Michigan State, powerful and
quick in the first unit, flies west
to meet Stanford. The Spartans
are going to have to count on a
big line with All-American Dave
Behrman at center and a back-
field quartet headed by fullback
captain George Saimes to provide
a strong cover to an otherwise in-
experienced reinforcement squad.
® Stanford's Indians are going to
be able to come pretty close to
matching the Spartans in the for-
ward wall (averaging 226 tackle
to tackle) but the offensive sec-
ondary is a question mark.
Sans Stephens
Back home, Minnesota hosts
Missouri, fresh from a 21-10 vic-
tory over California last Saturday.
Sandy Stephens is gone, but1
there's more Gopher-talent left
behind. Tackle Bobby Bell is
around and the rest of the line is
in good shape. Developing a first-
rate signal-caller is still Coach
Murray Warmath's top problem.
Two soph backs built around a
veteran nucleus will keep Missouri
tough. QB Keith Weber and half
Johnny Roland give the . Tigers
new power in the backfield, but.
the interior line is still slow.
Oregon State rolls into Hawk-
eye-land to test Iowa's bolstered
offense: All-American Larry Fer-
guson's back after a year out of
action, Matt Szykowny is still hit-
ting the airways (1,078 yards last
fall), and end Cloyd Webb is
around to form the second half of
a strong air attack.
Beaver Threat
Quarterback Terry Baker lends
Oregon State its biggest threat:
the pass-run option. The Beavers'
line is weak with a bad case of
graduation, though, especially at
center and the tackles.
In other Big Ten games today,
Illinois will try to get back in
the winning column meeting a
tough Washington eleven that tied
Purdue a week ago. Cincinnati
tests Big Ten grid talent facing
Indiana, while Wisconsin's ques-
tion mark squad tackles an of-
fensively-tough butdefensively-
leaky New Mexico State.
The Badgers figure to start an
all junior-senior team, but the
quarterback, Ron VanderKelen-is
a non-letter winning senior. And
as Coach Milt Bruhn knows only
too well, he needs someone to
throw footballs to All-America Pat
Richter.
The opposition, New Mexico
State, has split in two starts so
far this season, losing to rival
New Mexico, 28-17, and winning
over University of the Pacific, 28-6.

EARLY START:
Hoosiers,
NW Win
By JOHN SCOCHIN
Three Big Ten teams opened
their seasons last week, and the
Conference's record of consistent
victories over outside opposition
was upheld with two victories and
a tie.
Purdue and Washington, both
rated among the nation's top ten
teams in pre-season polls, battled
to a 7-7 tie in the big game of the
day..
The Huskies won the statistical
battle, however, gaining 234 yards
rushing to the Boilermakers' 109
and 19 first downs to Purdue's
nine.
Quarterback Willie Siler directed
a 70-yard TD march the first time
Washington had the ball for the
Huskies only score. Purdue capi-
talized on a pair of Washington
fumbles for its only tally, Tom
Jakubowski driving over from the
two.
QB Find
Northwestern found a quarter-
back and South Carolina found the
Wildcats too tough to handle as
the Evanston gridders downed the
Gamecocks 37-20.
Sophomore Tom Meyers com-
pleted 20 of 24 passes for North--
western to tie a Wildcat record
set by Otto Graham in 1942
against Michigan. Fullback Bill
Swingle scored two TDs on runs
of 10 and one yards.
A fine group of soph backs over-
came a school record for penalties
(189 yards) as Indiana rolled past
Kansas State 21-0.

School's just started, but already
head basketball coach Dave Strack
has the same kind of smile that
Fred Taylor of Ohio State had
four years ago when Jerry Lucas
and Company were freshmen.
Strack is busy now preparing his
strategy for his varsity cagers for
the forthcoming season with prac-
tice to open in two weeks, but he
can't help thinking about those
freshman ballplayers he recruited.
And no wonder, with the roster
reading like a mid-west all-star
team, Wolverine enthusiasts are
starting to compare the frosh to
the team M. C. Burton and George
Lee played on as freshmen.
Lee, Burton Star
Lee and Burton went on in 1959
to lead Michigan to a tie for sec-
ond place, the highest finish in
ten years with the rugged Burton
taking top scoring honors in the
conference. Lee joined the profes-
sional Detroit Pistons, and Burton
is in Medical School here.
Strack was freshman coach
then, but he thinks the current
crop of freshman are better at
this stage.
"There's more talent on this
squad, but there's still a lot of
work to be done," he said. "A
freshman, besides having to be-
c o m e acclimated. academically
must also make the transition
from high school to college ball."
Cazzie Russell, one of the most
sought after high school stars,
leads the array of rich material
that Freshman Coach Tom Jor-
gensen has to work with. A hign
s c h o o 1 All-American, Russell
learned his skills at Carver High,
a hot bed of Chicago basketball.
Russell and Carver dethroned
Marshall, perennial city champ
and alma mater of Cincinnati's
George Wilson, and went down-
state only to lose in the state
finals to Decatur.
Rare Freshman
Russell is the sort of polished
ball player with a good basketball
head that is rarely seen as a frosh.
His coach, Larry Hawkins, is one
of the most respected in the state,
and contributed heavily to Rus-
sell's development with his advo-
cation of both the control and
fast break types of offense.
Among the big time schools af-
ter Russell was Cincinnati, two
time NCAA champs. But early in
June, Russell notified Strack of
his intention to attend school here,
and he signed a tender.
When recruiting, Strack says,
"We try to show the prospective
athlete that Michigan is a fine
university to attend. Essentially
our product is the University of
Michigan."
Best in State
Strack convinced other top play-
ers of the advantages of Michigan.
He got the best of the talent from
the state. Oliver Darden from De-
troit Western was an all-stater
and city high jump champ as a
junior. His jumping jack abilities
show up from his pivot position
where he moves at 6'5".
Across town at Detroit Eastern
is Bill Yearby, a three sport all-
stater who is now out for fresh-
man football. Besides being all-
American in end, Yearby was state
shot-put champ and stands a rug-
ged 6'2" forward.
- His high school teammate John
Rowser also dabbled in other
sports besides basketball where he
received all-state mention at
guard. Rowser quarterbacked the
football team, and was city broad
jump champ. Also another Detroit
product from Mumford, Howard
Schechter, contributes a fine jump
shot to the backcourt.
Freshman coach Tom Jorgensen
HAND IN HAND - Soph flash

Oosterbaan go after the ball in

test.
is from Chicago and Illinois talent
was not neglected. All-state guard
John Thompson from Pontiac and
John Clawson from Naperville
fortify Strack's contention of hav-
ing speedy, fireball guards.
Taylor's Loss
In addition, Strack snatched a
few of the top players from Fred
Taylor who usually sweeps the
state of Ohio clean of talent for
his powerful Buckeyes. Dan Brown
of Brownsville and all-stater John
Myers, 6'7" center from Defiance,
give height to the unusually mo-
bile and agile front court.
"A lot of people thinking ahead
with this year's freshmen forget
that we're quite optimistic about
our varsity," Strack comments.
Jorgensen Helps 'Em
This optimism stems from the
improvement Bill Buntin and
Larry Tregoning made while un-
der the tutorage of Jorgensen.
Buntin is the biggest man on the
varsity at 6'7" and 235 lbs. An-
other Detroit product from North-
ern, the big boy was a sleeper.
He broke his leg right before his
last season of competition in high
school and sat out the year. As
a result, he did not come to the
attention of as many coaches as
he would if he had not injured
himself.
"Buntin still has a lot to learn,
but he has good ability for a tall
boy besides natural basketball
ability," Strack adds. "We are go-
We're playing it cl6se to the VEST
ing to experiment and try to work
him in at either center or for-
ward."
Tregoning, another big boy at
6'5", should see considerable action
in the back court making him the
biggest guard in the conference.
His presence could give the Wol-
verines a starting five averaging
over 6'4" in height.
Switch to Guard
"George Pomey and Charlie
Adams are two other sophomores
we think can help us out," Strack
contends. "It crossed our minds
