The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, October 24, 1978-Page 11 Campbell's Scoop by Paul Campbell KAY, SO IT'S a bit early to be charting a title race in the Big Ten. Only three games are history. But, remember, this is the first year in a decade that all but two teams aren't busy planning for next year. The fans and players are having more fun, while the sportswriters and bookies are worrying about how to appear smart about five teams. So forgive me for fueling the rumor that the Big Two is dead. A few ob- servations about the schedules of the, five contenders show just how in- teresting things may become. Michigan State has the easiest slate. The Spartans have only Minnesota at home left among the contenders, while they play their road games against winless Northwestern and Illinois. The second 'easiest is Ohio State, followed by Purdue and Michigan. Minnesota, Michigan's next opponent, has the roughest schedule, with MichiganState in East Lansing two weeks down the road. But none of that means anything if you can't accept anyone not wearing Scarlet and Gray or Maize and Blue as legitimate contenders. You should.

Defensive back Stuart Harris performs "a bit of juggling before getting a handle on the ball against Duke. Minnesota visits Ann Arbor for this weekend's coming attraction. Purdue is 3-0, with an excellent quarterback and a good running game. Michigan State answered all doubts before 105,000 two Saturdays ago. The fact is, Ohio State can't guarantee a title by winning the rest of their games. Someone, most likely Michigan, would have to beat Purdue. "Seems we hold Ohio State's destiny in our hands," said Bo Schem- bechler yesterday at his weekly press conference. Still, I'm not sufficiently sold on total conference parity to write off Ohio State. That leaves Minnesota. When I think of that name, I have difficulty linking it with good football. Images come to my mind of the Hall of Fame Bowl in 1977, where the Gophers looked bad in losing to Maryland. Or Min- nesota's last three trips to Ann Arbor, when they've failed to score one point. They've already lost at home this year to Pac-10 doormat Oregon State., Bo has a different image of Minnesota. He saw them shut his team out last year in Minneapolis. He says that this year's Golden Gophers are better. Bigger backs and more experience at quarterback, he says. "They can do it," Schembechler said. "All they have to do is beat us and Michigan State. They have the personnel." But the Gophers will need to keep maintaining themselves they're legitimate if they hope to overcome a Wolverine team looking for revenge. Believe it or not, Bo is also fired up about an odd-looking piece of crockery known as the Little Brown Jug, which the two teams have been bat- tling for ever since a Minnesota fan stole it from Michigan's bench and challenged them to win it back. "It does mean something," Bo said. "We had it all those years, and we kind of forgot about it. But it's real important now.' It certainly means more than that ugly, unkempt hunk of wood known as the Paul Bunyan Governor's Trophy. Former Michigan governor.Soapy Williams must have been speaking somewhere in between Ann Arbor and East Lansing when he got the inspiration to please everybody by instituting the trophy. Anyway, it looks like a beat up lectern with a poorly painted relief map of the state on top. Bo said he was glad to get rid of it. Trophies don't make rivalries though. Natural proximity does. So does a string of exciting games. Michigan vs. Ohio State is a rivalry. Michigan vs. Minnesota isn't. Even Michigan-Michigan State was fading, but the Spar- tans revived tht in one fell swoop.

"We don't expect him back," Schem- bechler said yesterday. "We haven't decided yet (to red shirt), but it will probably happen." If it happened, Edwards would have three years of football eligibility remaining after this season. EDWARDS EARNED a backup job as a freshman last year, gaining 226 yards on 48 carries for a 4.7 average and catching six passes. He started in the Rose Bowl loss to Washington and was the Wolverines' leading ground gainer. Edwards' injury has dented one of ichigan's greatest strengths, depth and uality in the offensive backfield. It eemed especially significant after aturday's game against Wisconsin, when backs Harlan Huckleby (groin pull), Russell Davis (knee strain), and Roosevelt Smith (shoulder injury) were all banged up. But Schembechler said that he expec- ts to have all three back for the up- coming Minnesota game. BILL DUFEK, the All-American of- fensive tackle who missed last year and broke his leg before this season is also n his way back. "We'll try to put him n a uniform Tuesday and give him 'ome blocking." Much-talked-about freshman Butch Woolfolk, who has run a 9.5 100, got his first chance to play against the Badgers when Huckleby and Smith were hurt. He gained 32 yards in six carries. "We'll use him if we have to," said Schembechler. "He doesn't have the quickest start, but once he get's going he's hard to catch."
