"The cost of sending my Gridde Picks airmail from LA to Ann Arbor was becoming outrageous, so I figured I could save so'me money by moving to Detroit and driving my Griddes to Ann Arbor myself."

DAILY LIBELS vs. E. Shifman's B.U. Bench y X IU. ,k"1Vr..a Wisconsin coach Dave McClain apparently learned a few things from his coaching mentors, Woody and Bo. He's learned how to NOT give an already angry team any more of an incentive to massacre his developing Badgers. McClain adamantly conceded that the Wolverines had the superior team. To listen to this coach one may just as well stay in bed Saturday afternoon. "There is no question that Michigan has the superior talent. We may be 4-0-1 but we have not played the caliber of competition that Michigan has. We're just going to go out there and do our best, but to tell the truth, I just don't know whether that'll be good enough to win the ballgame." "On offense, we'll have to have a balanced attack in order to be effective. Ira Matthews is the key. He'll have to have a good day in order for the offense to go." Matthews,'a small tailback, comes into the game as the leading Badger rusher and scorer. A dangerous return man, Matthews leads the Big Ten with almost a 20 yard average and two touchdowns on 9 punt returns. His play against Indiana (he scored three touchdowns) prompted coach Lee Corso to comment: "I'll be glad to see him graduate. He did a lot of that on his own." Mike Kalasmiki, a junior quarterback, starts for the Badgers. "He's a good passer; not a great passer, but a good one who is also a decent runner. He's ver- satile enough to run the multiple I[option attack," McClain said. "We run an attack which is very similar to the one Michiganoperatesout of. Strictly I-formation foot- ball with the slotback." The slotback is Wayne Souza. He is the third leading receiver on the squad. The leading receiver is David Charles, a man Michigan will probably keep close tabs on all afternoon. The Badgers will give away a good deal of poun- dage in most of the matchups along the lines. Mc- Clam acknowledged this fact:"There is no question about the fact that the game will be decided in the trenches and Michigan's superior size on the offen- sive and defensive lines is definitely going to give us some problems.?' "For instance, at one guard (Brad Jackomino), we and 150 yards and Clayton has caught three touch- downs. And if you concentrate on shutting down thE outside running game Leach will kill you. "What we're going to have to do is keep them ofi balance. We're going to have to gamble and try a bunch of things. We will go with one formation one down, and switch up with something new. We'll try just about anything." McClain readily gives Bo credit for teaching him 'The one thing we just don't have is the speed to keep up with peo- ple like Clayton and Huckleby. Their speed scares me more than any thing. You try stopping Davis on those little pops up the middle and you open .yourself up. The next thing you know, Huckleby has three touchdowns and 150 yards and Clayton has caught three touchdowns. And if you concentrate on shutting down the outside running game Leach will kill you.' -Wisconsin coach Dae eMcClain ....... ....::. ......: start a player who is only 5-10, 210 pounds. We're going to have to run a few more traps, pull him a bit more than we usually do just to offset the tremendous size disadvantage. The key here is to do things that the defense does not expect." McClain's main task on defense is to deal with the speed of the Michigan players. "The one thing we just don't have is the speed to keep up with people like Clayton and Huckleby. Their speed scares me.more than anything. You try stopping Davis on those little pops up the middle and you open yourself up. The next thing you know, Huckleby has three touchdowns what he knows about coaching football. "There is nc doubt that Bo taught me everything I know about football. At the time I worked for him I was very young and we were very close. I'm sure the similarities in our coach philosophies are obvious in the way our teams play." He continued: "The problem with Michigan is that there is no one man you can key on. We're just going to play solid football and hope it's enough to win the game. Besides, I wouldn't tell if there was any one thing we saw that could possibly be pivotal," he laughed. yr ':;Y Ira Matthews Blue runners return By JOHN LIBBE You'll have to forgive Michigan cross country coach Ron Warhurst for reminiscing a little bit Saturday at the Michigan Federation 10,000 meter run. There's good reason for him to be a little nostalgic. TOEING THE LINE at eleven o'clock on the tenth tee of the UM golf course will be Greg Meyer and Bill Donakowski, two former three- time all-Americans at Michigan. In addition to these two, Herb Lindsay, a three-time all-American at MSU, and Gordon Minty, a former NCAA cross country champion while at Eastern Michigan, will also be in the field, along with numerous area track clubs. "It should be a helluva race," noted Warhurst. The invitational meet is an open race, meaning no team scores are kept. Coach Warhurst is running seven or eight men, but not his top seven," since we have four really big meets coming up." Won't it be a different feeling coaching against Meyer and Donakowski? "Yes," said Warhurst, "but 1 don't count those guys as enemies." Hardly. Meyer, who is now running with the Greater Boston Track Club, is flying in from Boston and will be staying with Coach Warhurst and Donakowski calls up Warhurst once a week to talk about training. The three will definitely be friendly adversaries on Saturday. Now comes Miller time. 43, -, f I elA-i I
