The Michigan Daily-Thursday, September 28, 1978-Page 13 evils. . By PETE LEININGER f Coach Bo Schembechler is worried t his Wolverines might suffer from a of motivation going into this k's game with Duke, he has good son. fter last week's impressive and matic win over Notre Dame, the chigan squad would be expected to e a hard time getting pumped up for ir game against lowly Duke. he problem is that the Blue Devils not a lowly ball club, but in fact, a y respectable one, capable of upset- the toughest of foes. uke comes into Ann Arbor with a 2-0 ord following home victories over orgia Tech (28-10) and South olina (16-12). There is nothing the e Devils want more than to leave higan Stadium with a clean slate. ut according to Duke head coach LE TDOWN FEARED AFTER NOTRE DAME demand Wolverine Mike McGee, "I'm satisfied with the fact that we're 2-0, but we have a long way to go before we become a good team. We have too much inexperien- ce." Leading the Blue Devil attack will be senior Mike Dunn who is within reach of all the Athletic Coast Conference (ACC) total offensive marks and could become one of the top ten total offensive leaders in college football history. Last year the 6-4, 184 quarterback rolled up 1815 total yards, 1239 through the air (53.4 completion percentage) and 576 on the ground. He also had a streak of 105 pass attempts without an interception. Dunn, superb with the triple option, set a school record of 344 yards total of- fense last year against North Carolina State and once rushed for 168 yards against Georgia. But Dunn is not the only Blue Devil capable of tossing the pigskin consistently. "Junior Stanley Driskell (voted most improved offensive back) and sophomore Craig Browning (who led the JV squad to an undefeated season last year) improved greatly during the spring and will push Mike for the star- ting position," added McGee. Driskell was quarterback in Duke's first game against Georgia Tech (Dunn was out that game with a jammed thumb but played the second game and will be ready for Michigan). In that game Driskell was six for 15 in the air for 153 yards and also ran for a 46-yard touchdown. Rounding out the back field for the Blue Devils are Greg Rhett and Ned Gonet. In the opening game, Rhett rushed for 154 yards. Clearing the way for the backfield will be 6-1, 245 tackle Tom Luongo who worked out during the summer to prove his strength by pushing cars across parking lots. Luongo bench presses 365. and military presses 250 pounds. Luongo, a senior, and junior Kevin Kelly are the only offensive linemen returning for the Duke squad. "The of- fensive line is an area of concern," stated McGee. The Blue Devils are in better shape on defense. Nine of the 15 starters return on the defensive side, headed by standout linebackers Carl McGee and Bill King. McGee, playing with a hamstring pull the entire season, led Duke in tackles last year and should end up the all-time leading tackler in Duke history. King was twice named defensive player of the week in the ACC last year. "Speed in the offensive and defensive respect backfields is lacking beyond the first unit, but this could be helped con- siderably by an outstanding freshman class," said Coach McGee. The Blue Devils have no serious in- juries going into the Michigan game besides the usual "bumps and bruises". McGee saw conditioning as the key to the first two wins, particularly evident in the fourth quarters. Most of the kicking will be handled by sophomore Ricky Brummit who has been averaging around 41.0 yards per punt.

Each organization feels it s acquired the personnel, either rough free agency or the farm stem, to thwart the New York nkees' dream of back-to-back world ampionships. However, with a handful of games maining, only Boston and Kansas ty stand between the Yankees and eir third consecutive American ague flag. ANSAS CITY, three-time cham- ns of the West, await the results of Eastern Division pennant race. w York holds a one game edge over ston. Any combination of five nkee wins and/or Red Sox defeats 11 give the World Champions the stern Divison title. A tie would result a single playoff game at Fenway rk on Monday, October 2. Regardless of who their opponent will be, the Royals are hungrier than ever to win the playoffs. For two straight years, they have been beaten by the Yankees in the final inning of the final playoff game. Those were devastating setbacks and now the Royals are determined to prove they can end their playoff jinx. Pitching is a key to success and for- tunately for Kansas City they have a solid staff. Starters Larry Gura (14-4), Paul Splittorff (19-12), and rookie Rich Gale (14-8) have all been cogsistent. Dennis Leonard (18-17), once the ace of the staff, has pitched well the last two months, winning 10 of his last 15 decisions. If any of the starters begin to falter, the Royals can count on Al Hrabosky for immediate aid. The "Mad Hungarian" boasts an impressive 2.87 E.R.A. and 19 saves. FOR THE MOST part, K.C. is physically sound; although All-Star third baseman George Brett is playing with a cracked thumb requiring post- season surgery. "I know my hand is gonna hurt," said Brett, "so I'm just gonna. go up to the plate and swing hard. It hurts just as much when I don't swing hard." Offensively, the Royals will rely on the hot bat of Amos Otis. The veteran centerfielder leads the team with 20 homers, 87 RBI, and a .297 batting average. He also has 28 stolen bases on a team that specializes in stealing. Kansas City leads the league with 184 swipes. They aren't a big inning club, being second to last in home runs with 87. But as Boston manager Don Zimmr says, "They will Punch-and-Judy you to death." Zimmer should know about death. Two months ago, his Red Sox were tearing up the league. They held a 10- .game lead over second place Milwaukee and were 14 ahead of fourth place New York. Boston raved about having the best offense and defense in DOWN TO THE WIRE Bosox, Tiant power past Bengals either league. Boston fans were talking playoffs . . . World Series . . . World Championship. AND THEN CAME the resurgence of the New York Yankees. Brash Billy resigned and Bob Lemon took the reins. For the following two months the Red Sox and Yankees went in opposite directions. And like cream, the World Champions rose to the top. Of course, neither team is out of the woods yet. With four games yet to be played by both teams, any error will be magnified that much more. The Red Sox have turned things around recently, winning six of their last eight games. Jim Rice leads the league in homers with 44, RBI with 135 and is third in average at .3 15. Dennis Eckersley (19-8) leads a staff including Luis Tiant (11-8), Mike Torrez (15-12), and Jim Wright (8-4). Bob Stanley has been effective out of the bullpen throughout the year, picking up 10 saves while posting a 14-2 record and a 2.69 ERA. UNFORTUNATELY FOR Boston, serious injuries to Butch Hobson (elbow), Carl Yastzremski (wrist), Carlton Fisk (ribs), Dwight Evans (dizziness), and Jerry Remy (wrist), late in the year continue to keep them from playing at full strength. On the other hand, healthy players have enabled New York to power them- selves back into the pennant race. Mun- son, Randolph, Rivers and Dent were simultaneously side-lined early in the season. The situation forced then- manager Billy Martin to play the likes of Brian Doyle and Damasco Garcia. Happily for Bob Lemon the Yankees have been able to play the guys who won last year's World Series. Lemon also has boosted many of the players egos, as in the case of Reggie Jackson. Since returning to his familiar right- fieldspot after a stint as DH, the 1977 World Series M.V.P. has batted .317, af- ter being .247 at mid-season. Of course Reggie isn't the only player to find late-season happiness. Aside from Chambliss and Dent, every star- ter has averaged over .300. The pitching staff of Ron Guidry (10-2), Catfish Hun- ter (10-2), Ed Figueroa (12-3), and Rich Gossage (5-1) with 13 saves, has been super under Lemon, a former major- league pitcher himself.
