THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, O( TOBER 10, 1962 )augherty Bemoans 'Shallow' Spartans ......--4. DOMINANCE THREATENED: Coast Teams Stun Big Ten By DAVE GOOD Problems keep piling Michigan State Coach Daugherty. up for Duffy All season long poor Duffy has been bemoaning the lack of depth on his team, sobbing to sports- writers about platooning's being a luxury the Spartans wouldn't be able to afford. Now more troubles for Duffy. He's just about counted out roly- poly tackle Jim Bobbitt for Satur- day's game with Michigan because of an ankle injury. Lightweights "Bobbitt's loss lowers our line average to 226 lbs. a man," Daugherty told a group of writers yesterday. "Now you'll only outweigh Mich- igan by 10 lbs. a man," pointed out an unsympathetic heckler, ob- viously planted there to disrupt the proceedings. "Well, what's 10 lbs. a man?" demanded Duffy, not a man to be1 bothered with trifles. But no matter how convincing Daugherty is in his sincerity, those nasty old Michigan coaches just won't believe him. "They've got two real fine teams, and I think it's a fallacy to be- lieve anything to the contrary," insists Michigan Line Coach Jack Fouts, who scouted the Spartans' 16-13 loss to Stanford and 38-6 rout of North Carolina. One little fact Daugherty may have difficulty explaining is that his second-string backfield has outstripped the starting unit in rushing for the first two games. Here's a list of figures Duffy might like to wave in the air to 1 Now, if you didn't know any- thing about Michigan State this year, you might be partially suc- cessful trying to figure out which of the five are second-stringers. And then again, you might be all wrong. Rubick, who plays behind Lewis, and Lopes, who plays behind Saimes, are the non-starters. No depth at all. Off Winging Daugherty inaugurated the wing- back-tailback offense this year to releive some of the beating ab- sorbed by the two smallest men on the squad-Lewis (5'8", 155 lbs.) and Rubick (5'7", 175 lbs.). In the conventional wing-T, either the left halfback or -right halfback can move up into the wingback spot to block or receive a pass. But with the Spartans, Lewis or Rubick always plays deep at tailback and evades some of the body contact.

All Michigan eyes will be turn- ed toward Boston, however, to- morrow when the Club de Hockey Canadien, the Montreal Cana- diens, tackle the Bruins, last year's cellar-dwellers. Why the interest in a game which is being played so far away? Our Boy Red Last year, Michigan had a great player on its hockey team. His name was Gordon "Red" Beren- eon. Immediately after the college hockey season ended, Berenson left to join the Canadiens in the same city where he will start this sea- He saw action during the play- offs for the Stanley Cup and in the five games in which he played (Montreal was downed 4-1 by the Chicago Black Hawks in the semi- finals), he netted two goals and played more like a regular than the regulars themselves. Replaces Bonin In training camp this fall, Ber- enson again drew the praise of Habitant Coach Toe Blake, who said he was the logical- successor of left-winger Marcel Bonin. Bon- in was forced to retire from the game after undergoing a serious back operation last July. The only one to challenge Ber- enson for the spot was Brian Smith but, because pf Berenson's natural hockey, style and the fact that Berenson can also play center if necessary, Smith was relegated to stand-by forward for the NHL team. * * * Tonight's game is the only game scheduled; the other teams see ac- bion tomorrow night. Beside the Canadien-Bruin tilt, the Detroit Red Wings will take on the New York Rangers at MadisonSquare Garden. How do the teams stack up this year? Habs Favored The Montreal Canadiens are again expected to take the number one position at the end of the sea- on. Blake is only making two ad- ditions to his squad. Berenson, who s replacing retired Bonin, and de- fense-man Jean Gauthier, who ained the position when Al Mac- qeil was sold to Chicago. The weak points of the team are ound on defense. It is a question f whether Lou Fontinato can sur- ive his groin injuries and whether 4-year-old Tom Johnson still has another NHL season in his legs. Behind the defense is the key to he Montreal team - Jacques ?lante, certainly one of the great- st goalies the NHL has ever seen. Last year, Plante, the "masked narvel" of hockey, won the Vezina Trophy (awarded annually to "the oalkeeper who has played the nost games for the team with the ewest goals scored against it") or the sixth time in seven years. Chat ties him with Bill Durnan, iso of the Canadiens, who is con- idered the best NHL goalie ever. MVP Plante also won the Hart Me- norial Trophy, given to the player ,oted most valuable to his team hroughout the entire season. He s the first goalie to win this tro- bhy. The Toronto Maple Leafs, who inished second, 13 points behind be Canadiens, and won the Stan- Cy Cup Championship, are expect- d to present a real challenge to their Quebec neighbors this sea- son. The Leafs have one serious prob- lem-Father Time. In key posi- tions, age will begin to tell. Goalie Johnnie Bower is 38 (though he claims that he is only 35-which age he has been for the past three years), Defenseman Allan Stan- ley is 36 and line-mate Tim Hor- ton is 32. Red Kelly, now a Mem- ber of Parliament, is 35 and cap- tain George Armstrong is 32. Both are first-line forwards. Two Rookies Coach Punch Imlach cites the fact that they are the Cup cham- pions as the strongest of the strong points going for the team. He, too, plans on introducing only two new players., One is Jean Mikol, a strapping left-winger brought up from the Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League. He is the logical successor of Bert Olmstead, who retired at the age of 36 be- cause he thought he wouldtnot be able to produce competently. The other new player will be Kent Douglas,nwho was obtained from the Springfield Indians of the AHL in return for five players. Adams Departs There will be many changes in the '62-63 version of the Detroit Red Wings. The greatest loss is that of General Manager Jack Adams, who has been with the club as player, coach, and general man- ager since 1933, when he was in- fluential in changing the name of the team from the Falcons to the Red Wings. Olympia is rightfully called the house that Jack built. Last year's coach, Sid Abel, has now assumed the managerial post in addition to his coaching duties. Record-setter Gordie Howe has re- linquished his captaincy to become player-assistant coach. The new Wing captain is Alex Delvecchio. Howe is the strong point of the Wings. The rest of the team con- sists of weak points. Hank Bassen has been replaced as Terry Saw- chuck's alternate. Dennis Riggin is the new net-minder. Bassen will play for the Pittsburgh Hornets of the A2HL. Young Reforms Riggin is one of seven new faces the Wings will display tomorrow. The return of a favorite heads the list. Howie Young, bad man who was deported to Edmonton last year for his antics on and off the ice, has turned over a new leaf (he claims) and is being given another chance by Abel. Other players include Larry Jeffrey, who scored five goals in 18 games after being called up last season; Floyd Smith, who scored 41 goals with Springfield last year; Alex Faulkner, another former AHLer, and ex-NHLer Earl Bal- four, who retired last year rather than play for the Bruins of Bos- ton-all are forwards. Doug Barkley and John Miszuk are the defensemen Abel has add- ed to help Marcel Pronovost, Bill Gadsb'y, Pete Goegan (re-gained from New York), and Young. If early-season slump doesn't strike the Chicago Black Hawks again this year, they may give the Leafs a run for second place (first place is already conceded to the Canadiens just as the Yankees are always conceded first place). Two Good Lines The two lines-the Million Dol- lar Line and the Scooter Line- will be intact this season. The first lie will again consist. of Bobby Hull, who scored 50 goals last sea- son to tie a record held by Maurice Richard and Bernie "Boom-Boom" Geoffrion--both of the Canadiens -Red Hay, and Murray Balfour. The "scooters" are Stan Mikita, Kenny Wharram, and Ab McDon- ald. to succeed Harvey as coach, de- cided to retire from hockey. At thej present, no one has been appoint- ed to the post but it is expected that Patrick will assume the duties for a time. Old Man's Home Age is expected to hinder the Rangers this year. Gump Worsley, "Little Gumper," is 33 but no one believes age will hinder his bril- liant net play. Harvey is 38, Andy Hebenton is 33 and Bronco Hor- vath (drafted from Chicago) is 32. But the Rangers have some es- tablished stars that aren't too old. Captain Andy Bathgate (who scor- ed as many points as Hull last season, but lost the scoring title because Hull scored morergoals- 50-28) is 30. Rod Gilbert, who starred in the semi-finals with four goals, is expected to be of great help in spelling Prentice and Ingarfield. Other new faces on the Blues squad will be Al LeBrun, Jim Neil- son, and Jean Rattle. The Boston Bruins finished 60 points off the past last season to hold down their perennial spot at the bottom of the list. Improve- ment is coming, though. Last year's squad had some eight or nine rook- ies on it. This year they have the NHL experience and should be ready to move up., Bruins Bolstered Their defense should give goalie Bobby Perreault, stand-out goalie for the Hershey Bears in the AHL, more protection than Don Head and Bruce Gamble got last year. Warren Godfrey, acquired from Detroit, will give stability to the defense and is expected to be the key of the Bruins' fortunes. His line-mates will be Doug Mohns, Leo Boivin, Ted Green and sopho- more Pat Stapleton, who astound- ed other NHL players with his heads-up play in his rookie year. The Bruins are lacking up front -both with the scoring punch and the defensive punch necessary to give them victories. The Bruins are ready to give up the cellar-to De- troit orNew York, whichever one will take it. back and moves to which ever side the play calls for, while the tailback moves into the deep spot on the other side. Speedy Sherm "Lewis (Big Ten sprint champ) has tremendous speed. They run the pitchout to him and Rubick pretty often," pointed out Fouts. "Rubick is a little bigger, but he's pretty swift, too. He's got great balance. He's a shifty, hard runner and he can break tackles. That's what worries me. You've really got to him him," he added. At fullback, Saimes is a pre- season All-America pick, but Fouts is high on Lopes, too. "He's a real hard buster," he put in. Lincoln hasn't had much suc- cess rushing, but that's because the counter-play he runs has been defensed well, according to Fouts. "There's nothing wrong with the way he's been running it," added Fouts. The Spartans' passing attack has been ineffectual, but Fouts thinks it's better than it has shown. No Use Spartan quarterbacks have com- pleted only 10 of 25 in the two games and have had two inter- ceptions. "Their passing hurt them a little against Stanford, but Sa- turday against North Carolina they just didn't need it," said Fouts. At quarterback, Pete Smith has been deposed by sophomore Char- lie Migyanka. "I really wouldn't know why they put him ahead of Smith. I did notice that he's a real good blocker and maybe that's the edge he had on him," he re- marked. No depth. Defensively, the Spartans have been vulnerable through the air, but Fouts contends that their pass defense really is good. "They try to guard against the long passes and do what they are coached for very well. It's going to be hard to score against them by passing," Fouts noted. "They play a seven-man lie with three menacovering the deep pass. Their fullback (usually SaimesdordLopes) roves and will either red-dog (rush the passer) or fall back to cover the pass when he sees the deep men in trouble. Herman, Sherman, and Dewey Lewis covers the left side and Lincoln the right. Herman John- son is their deep safety, and he's a defensive specialist. He's got real good speed, and she's a tall, rangy kid who can really stretch In the line Daugherty has a better case going for him. Guard George Azar nas joined Bobbitt on the injury list. But things are getting better. Dave Behrman, All- American center whom Daugherty demoted along with guard Charlie Brown to the third string even though he had no depth in the lire, is back with the starters as of yesterday. Duffy says it very convincingly that he has no depth at center, guard, end, etc. No Depth at All This makes some of his boys feel hurt, namely Behrman, B b- ttt. Azar, Brown, Ed Budde, Matt Snorton, Ernie Clark, Steve Mel- linger, Jim Kanicki, etc., but Michigan's coaches have the words to cheer them up agan: "Oh, yes you do, Duffy, you old rascal." By TOM ROWLAND By now the Big Ten football elite are beginning to get the mes- sage: DON'T go West. Out where the Pacific surf breaks gently over palm-tree sands and it never gets cool enough to play a legitimate game of foot- ball the Midwestern grid giants have been getting their beanstalks trimmed for the past three weeks. And with the fall of the Big Ten's greatest has come a like tumble of that "concrete" monu- ment that sets the conference as the perennial power of the powers that be. GRID SELECTIONS Did last week's grid selections give you fits? Are you discouraged by consecutive weeks of not winning and picking less than half of the correct results? Are you worried because you spend so much time trying to pick the winners that you're ignoring all of your homework? If so, this won't be your week. The games are getting harder and harder to pick, and you'll be spending more and more time trying to figure them out. Why don't you use the method proved successful by The Daily staff, which doesn't have the time or ability to think: circle the first of the two teams, and pick the Wolverines to win each week. You'll never win, but you can return to your homework and at least stay in school. Mail or bring your finished entry to The Daily office at 420 Maynard before Friday midnight. And don't worry, you won't win the two tickets, to the Michigan Theatre and the subscription to Foot- ball News. (If you spend the time necessary to win trying to pick the games you won't be able to see "I Like Money" or read your amaga- zine anyway.) THIS WEEK'S GAMES 1. MICHIGAN at MSU (score) 2.

For penalty-killing, Coach Rudy Pil- ous can still call on the best in the league, Reg Fleming and Bob Turner. On the debit side of the ledger, the Hawks lost their third highest scorer when Bronco Horvath was drafted by the Rangers. They will also need more scoring from the defense to help the forwards. Freshman Hawks New faces on the Hawk squad in- clude Chico Maki, who has played off and on for the Hawks for the past two seasons, Wayne Hillman, and Al MacNeil. Two former De- troiters are expected to see action this season-Len Lunde at center (probably on the third line) and John McKenzie at wing. It was a long summer of thought for Doug Harvey but he found Muzz Patrick's (New York Ranger general manager) liberal offer too good to pass up. However, he will just be a plain defenseman and not coach this season. Bert Olmstead, Patrick's choice WOMEN'S HAIRCUTTING AND STYLING A SPECIALTYI!! NO APPOINTMENTS NEEDED EXPERIENCED HAIRCUTTERS The Doscola Barbers near Michigan Theatre Rain Stops Series; Try Again Today By The Associated Press After two hours of fighting the weather, the fifth game of the World Series was rescheduled and will be played in New York today. The scheduled starting pitchers, Ralph Terry for New York and Jack Sanford for the Giants, who opposed each other in the second game won by the Giants 2-0, both expressed disappointment at the change. Terry is anxious for an- other chance to win his first World Series game after four losses, while Sanford hopes to put his teammates ahead in the Series, three games to two. Manager Ralph Houk of the Yankees, -while also being disap- pointed by the delay, admitted that it will enable him to use ace Whitey Ford in the sixth game of the Series if necessary, and thus could be a great aid to the Yan- kees.
