THE MICHIGAN DAILY THUS SDAY, NOVEMBER 8,1962 ?aimey Battles Stacked Defenses By DAVE GOOD They're going to have to start calling Dave Raimey "Stonewall" this year. That's what Michigan's starting right halfback runs into nearly everytime he carries the ball these days, and it's starting to show in the meager rushing average of 3.3 yds. he has been held to so far this year. N There is only one credential to commend the Wolverines' lead- ing rusher and leading scorer of the past two years-so far he has scored a whopping two-thirds lof Michigan's touchdown production over the entire season. In other words, Raimey has scored four touchdowns. No Blame The husky senior from Dayton, Ohio, admits frankly that -he is disgusted with what he calls the bad year he is having, and yet no- body close to the situation has ever considered blaming Raimey. for the impotent Michigan offense which has been able to produce only one win in six games. With halfback Bennie McRae and fullback Bill Tunnicliff gone but not forgotten, Raimey is the Blanchard Out For Season Michigan's football team has suffered the loss of another line-' man. Reserve center Don Blanchard underwent an operation on Mon- day to remove two torn cartilages from his knee. Blanchard, a jun- ior from Sturgis, stands 6'3" and weighs 233 lbs. He is throughdfor this season, but said he hopes to be able to play spring football.- man opponents can key their de- fenses around this year. "We haven't had as much to complement him this year," agrees Backfield CoachuHankbFonde. "He's carrying quite a big load and all the other teams have been aiming for him." "Dave is just as good a player this year as he was a season ago," insists Head Coach Bump Elliott. "We haven't been able to provide him with many holes." Other Troubles Raimey has been having health problems, too. He's had minor ail- ments in his back, ankles and shoulders since he broke into the lineup as a substitute for Denny Fitzgerald two years ago and scooted 25 yds. for a touchdown the first time he carried the bail. The shoulder injuries date back to his high school days, but a harness that pinions his arms closer to his body seems to have helped him out. "I started wearing it in the MSU game (last month), and I haven't had any trouble since then," Raimey explains. If Raimey has any real misgiv- ings about the lack of support ne's been getting, he has been keeping his feelings to himself. Good Attitude "He has a real fine attitude,"' points out Fonde. "You have to admire him for the attitude and courage he's shown and for has efforts to help the team. He's been taking a whale of a lot of punishment out there. "The very fact that he's so hard to bring down means that some- times he's going to have five or six guys on top of him," Fonde adds. The only worry Raimey has ex- pressed is a joking admission that the professional scouts are prob- ably losing interest in him because his rushing average has dropped .... .... ....."';::J ... s from the 4.7 and 5.0 he carried for the last two years. It is his hope that he can make the grade with the pros in order to finance his way through dental school. Raimey married the form- er Marlena Price earlier in the season and has an eye out for the future. Pro Prospect Fonde feels that Raimey defin- itely has the physical skills to be a good pro prospect, no mats er what kind of year this is for Mich- igan. Raimey has that rare combina- tion of power and speed to make him a breakaway threat from any point on the field. Fonde points to Raimey's fine size as a potential pro (5110"1, 195 lbs.) and his excellent speed (he was a :09.8 dashman in high school and is about even with sophomore Dennis Jones as fast- est man on the team). "He's got great power," Fonde comments. "He's strong enough to break tackles. And he has a real good knack for breaking a hole clean when it's there." Fonde has categorized Raimey as the "pick-and-go" type of run- ner, who makes good use of his blockers. "And he himself is the kind of blocker the pros like to see in a running back," he adds. Raimey has no formula for carrying the ball. "I never think about running," he explains. "I just run." But so far, he "just runs" into mountains of enemy tacklers. "We've been hopeful we can break him loose and give him a good o'- portunity to go all the way," com- ments Fonde.

Up in East Lansing Duffy Daugherty announced flatly, to newsmen after absorbing a 28-7 jolt from Minnesota: "We were trounced." A stubborn Illinois defense nail- ed Purdue quarterback Ron Di- Gravio with fourth and seven on the Illini 12 in the closing seconds to uphold a 14-10 margin. It was the first Orange and Blue win in 15 games. Iowa stepped all over Ohio State's dying rose garden, 28-14, with almost errorless football. Wildcats Undefeated Northwestern survived -thrnks to Bill Swingle's five-yd. TD dash in the final period. The Wildcast headed for action barely squeezed by an Indiana 4, $995 ALL-AMERICAN Remarkably light, wonderfully { comfortable, this snap brim err and pinch front gives this hat a new look of forward motion. Truly an All-American hat. a NGAS' G . ... } 5 ; . :. . ..r-,., .. -- i team that was losing its 18th straight game against a Big Ten opponent, 26-21. When the dust had settled, the Big Ten shakeup left five teams in the running for championship honors with the season over half completed. Only Northwestern, ranked tops nationally, still boasts a clean slate; the Wildcats have Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan State, and Purdue on their tails with one defeat apiece. The conference picture is bound to clear up this weekend with Pur- due at Michigan State, Northwest- ern tangling with Wisconsin, and Iowa traveling to meet Minneso- ta's Gophers. Spartan Fizzle Minnesota's Gibraltar defense held Michigan State's 338-yd. per game ground attack to a meek 30 yds. while handing the Spartans their second defeat (they drop- ped one to Stanford the first game). Quoth MSU mentor Daugh- erty: "We were a badly beaten team, and I can't explain the lack of spirit. I thought the team would be up for this one." The Spartans will have to be up for the next one. Purdue's Boiler- makers have a habit of coming back snarling after being surpris- ed with their offense down. (Re: Purdue smashed Michigan. 37-0,I after being defeated by Miami of Ohio.) The fate of QB DiGravio is a question mark for Saturday; the Purdue star suffered an ankle in- jury in practice this week while holding a tackling dummy. Aerial Duel Ron VanderKelen and Tommy Myers will duel through the air lanes with Northwestern's blank- less record on the line.VanderKel- en paced Wisconsin to a 34-12 win over ailing Michigan with some bull's-eye shooting. Myers completed 16 of 26 passes for 243 yds. and three touchdowns against the Hoosiers, While out to stop Myers, the Badgers will have to cope with fullback Swingle, who neatly wrapped up 129 yds. rushing last Saturday in 18 carries (that's seven yds. per run). Iowa, 2-2 in the Big Ten, will have to come up with something special in the offense department Ito crack Minnesota's defensive wall. One key might be quarter- back Matt Szykowny's air arm. Meanwhile the Gophers found last Saturday that quarterback Duane Blaska can run as well as pass - the Minnesota helmsman led the Gophers in their "best game of the year." Blaska only committed one goof: running at the MSU five with nothing but daylight between him and the goal line Blaska simply dropped the ball -MSU's George Azar recovered the ball. After throwing a good scare in- to Northwestern, Indiana will journey to Columbus to meet.Ohio State's disillusioned Buckeyes. Virtually out of the title picture, the Bucks are 3-3 overall. The Hoosiers are mired in the Big Ten cellar with Michigan; both have 0-4 conference marks. Brother coaches Pete and Bump Elliott tangle in another battle of the basement at Ann Arbor. Pete's Illini will be directed by QB Mike Taliaferro, who passed for the first Illini TD last week as the Illini ended the longest run of defeats for a Big Ten team in 47 years.
