"We're making a lot of use of the wide split end this fall because that's where, we've developed an offensive threat. And it gives the ends much greater freedom in running patterns, Right, Dick?" Rindfuss nods. "Right. It's your shot." Laskey lines up the shot. Click. "We can split to either side to take advantage of our personnel, too. When Henderson or I flank out wide on that right side, the defense has got to send one and usually two men out there with us. And when the defense compen- sates like that we can run off the other side of the line." The seven ball caroms off the far side and rolls aimlessly into the center of the table. Laskey steps back, leaning on his cue. j 'Can Beat Illini' "You know, I really think we can beat Illinois this weekend. We watched their films-they can er looks like he was born to play football. Blame it all on a strong mixture of heredity and environment: Laskey follows his father, a 140- pound halfback and sprinter for Michigan in the Evashevski-Har- mon era, from the small ville of Milan, boasting a team that lost one football game in four years Laskey played there. Never An End Not really tall for an end-only 6'1"-Laskey was never really sup- posed to be one. He picked up all his high school laurels at the half- back spot-all-state, all-confer- ence, and all-American honorable mention-but arrived in Ann Ar- bor in the midst of an end drought and promptly was drafted into the position. Quoth end coach Jocko Nelson last autumn: "Ever since I've coached here it's been a question of who to play with all our depth. Now it's the problem of who's go- ing to play." Laskey moved into the starting right end slot in the second game of the season against Army. "I had never played end before at all," says Laskey, "so I really had to start from scratch. I had to think about everything I was going to do before I did it." Getting Stronger Battling to overcome the han- dicap of the new wing position, the Wolverine junior got the starting berth again this year, and has im- proved steadily with each game. "The moves are more automatic to me now," he comments, "and I' feel a lo( stronger out there. "It's better now, too, that the end depth strength is stronger. With John Henderson and Craig Kirby in there on offense it gives Jim Conley and I a chance to take a break-and then Henderson and Kirby can get a rest when we're on defence " Rough on Defense Laskey plays a rugged game as a defensive wingman, working to contain the end sweep. "The ma- jor responsibility of the defensive end is to contain the sweeps," says Laskey, "and then to rush the passer. That's why sometimes you'll notice an end hanging back a little when a quarterback begins to roll out. If a Staubach gets around that end it will probably be good for long yardage. "When it's a long yardage play the end will sometimes cover the flat and swing man-that's how Henderson and Conley intercept- ed those passes against Northwest- ern." On offense, too, Laskey stands out: he's latched on to eight pass- es this fall for 113 yards and one touchdown (against Southern Methodist). "With our passing at- tack the way it is this year there are no certain patterns that I usually run or especially like to run," comments Bill. "Bob Tim- berlake is much improved this fall -he's doing a good job quarter- backing the team." HB Training Helps Click. Three ball in the corner pocket. "I like playing that end spot on defense, and my halfback training comes in handy when I'm covering the flat passes. Resting when Henderson is in there on of- fense makes me play stronger on defense." Click. The two ball narrowly misses the side pocket. "Last year we took the rougher end of a lot of games, but there hasn't been a team this fall that we haven't given a good physical beating to. Right, Dick?" Rindfuss nods. "Right. It's your shot."

Lattimer frequently races out of the Michigan State huddle and turns a somersault before lining up at his position. He also fre- quently turns opposing rushers over without a gain, despite the fact this is his first full year as a lineman. He's a converted full- back. Lattimer, a compact 218-pound- er from Dallas, keyed the Spartan defense last Saturday that held Wisconsin to 29 yards rushing and contributed a 44-yard field goal on offense as major factor in the Spartans' 30-13 victory over the Badgers. Wisconsin was eighth-ranked in the country at the time. The triumph, which kept Michigan State tied for the Big Ten Con- ference lead, also boosted the Spartans into the ninth position in the weekly AP poll of the top college football teams. Michigan State Coach Duffy Daughtery didn't pin any one- game honors on Lattimer for his key defensive work against Wis- consin, but spoke in terms of the entire season when he said: "Our guards have been particu- larly effective with Lattimer lead- ing them." Other Spartan coaches typify the senior lineman as a player with a great sense of humor who has become "a remarkable moral man" for the team. They stress he's quick with a quip, but quicker as a pass rusher. presents VAMPS a _h Yes. JET PROPULSION LABORATORY 9800 Oak Grove Drive Pasadena, California "An equal opportunity employer."'

CHICAGO - Wisconsin's in- eligibility to return to the Rose Bowl this season may have created a morale problem on the football team, Badger Coach Milt Bruhn indicated yesterday. The Badgers made the Rose Bowl trip last New Year's Day. Under Big Ten policy they could' not go twice in succession even if they won the conference title. Wisconsin was highly regarded in the Big Ten race in pre-season predictions, but has lost its last two games to Ohio State 13-10 and Michigan State 30-13 to bow out of contention. "I have been trying to figure out if incentive is lessened by not being eligible for the Rose Bowl," Bruhn told the Chicago Fuotball Writers Association. "I am wondering if the Rose Bowl means so much that the Big Ten championship doesn't count any more. Knowing that we could not return to Pasadena, we had been talking championship I am at a loss in trying to figure out just what is significant." Stanky Declines NEW YORK - Lee MacPhail, president of the Baltimore Orioles, acknowledged yesterday he had approached Eddie Stanky to manage the club, but found the former St. Louis Cardinal man- ager and infielder unreceptive. "I met with Stanky this morn- ing," said MacPhail, "and he told me he had decided, after careful consideration, to remain in the St. Louis organization. "I respect his decision but I feel I did not get his final answer," 'MacPhail told the Associated Press by telephone from Clear- water, Fla., where he is observing Oriole farmhands in the Florida Winter League. "I feel Stanky left the door open-even if only a little." MacPhail emphasized, however, that he had not officially offered the managing job to Stanky nor to anybody else. The Orioles have been without a manager since Billy Hitchcock was dismissed at the end of this past season and kicked upstairs to an executive post. * * * McKinley Bumped MADRAS, India - Ramanathan Krishnan, India's number one tennis ace, defeated Wimbledon champion Chuck McKinley of St. Ann, Mo., in an exhibition here yesterday, 6-4, 6-1. McKinley had beaten Krishnan in a tough five-set match at Bombay Monday in the windup of the Davis Cup inter-zone finals, win by the United States 5-0. In another exhibition here, Den- nis Ralston of Bakersfield, Calif., downed Martin Riessen of Evans- ton, Ill., 6-3, 6-2. McKinley, Ralston and Riessen are scheduled to go to Australia this weekend to prepare for the Davis Cup challenge round at Adelaide Dec. 26-28.
