This Week in Sports
Remember that you are the reader, and that while you are now reading
this sports preview there is something you should keep in mind. If while
reading the preview, you happen to stumble upon something that doesnt in-
terest you for some reason, don't feel forced to read it ... although you might
miss one of the most significant events in the world of sports.
College Football
This week's game for the Wolverines is just another must game, except,
this week the opponent will be conference leader Purdue. If the ouija board
is correct, Michigan should win by at least 12 points. Other conference
games on this week's slate are:
Illinois at Minnesota
Ohio State at Indiana
Wisconsin at Iowa
Michigan State at Northwestern
Key games around the country are: Georgia-Auburn. If Georgia wins
the game, they will represent the conference as the host team in the Sugar
Bowl, no matter what Alabama does against Auburn Dec. 2. "I'd rather beat
Auburn than go.to ten bowls," contends Alabama coach Bear Bryant.
Southern Cal-UCLA should decide the Pac-14 representative in the Rose
Bowl. Notre Dame-Georgia Tech, Missouri-Nebraska, and Oklahoma-
Oklahoma State should all be good battles for the bowl-bound teams.
Pro Football
Can anything stop the awesome offense of the Lions (34 points last
week)? Yes, this week it will be the stumbling Raiders. The crystal ball sees
plenty of upsets this week:
Buffalo over Tampa Bay New Orleans over Dallas
CLEMSON, MARYLAND TO BA TTLE IT OUT
It's down to two in Atlantic Coas
By KENNETH CHOTINER
Throughout the 1978 football season,
the Atlantic Coast Conference has been
dominated by two powerhouses-the
Clemson Tigers and the Maryland
Terrapins.
Both teams are undefeated within the
conference and both have lost just one
intersectional game. The real test of
their superiority in the ACC will come
this Saturday afteroon when the two
teams collide at University Park,
Maryland.
CLEMSON (8-1 overall and 5-0 in the
league) will finish its season with in-
trastate rival South Carolina one week
later. This will be Maryland's (9-1,. 5-0)
last game of the season unless the Ter-
ps are invited to a bowl.
The two teams line up with excellent
players. Quarterbacking for Clemson is
senior Steve Fuller. Last season Fuller,
who was named ACC player-of-the-
year, completed 100 of 205 passes for
1,665 yards and eight touchdowns in
leading the Tigers to their first bowl
game (Gator vs. Pittsburgh) in over a
decade.
Fuller is equally impressive this year
enough yards to rank him 18th in the
country in total offense.

three to six points in this game. A win
would give Maryland undisputed
possession of first place and ant4ier
excellent chance to, go to a bowl. Last
year the Terrapins defeated Minnesota
in the inaugural Hall of Fame Bowl.
" The other teams in the ACC are
mathematically out of the race. North
Carolina State and Duke are the closest
teams to the two co-leaders, but they
are only 2-2 in the league.
AFTER THE 1977 season, four ACC
teams went "bowling." Besides
Maryland and Clemson, N. C. State
played in the Peach Bowl and North
Carolina competed in the Liberty Bowl.
This year it appears that only the con-
ference champion will go see post-
season action, and possibly the runner
up.
"No bowl has definitely been decided
on," said Clemson coach Charley Pell,
"but the winner of this game will most
likely go to either the Gator Bowl or the
Fiesta Bowl."

Pro Basketball
Bob Lanier's aggravation of an old knee inljury will-keep him out of
the lineup until possibly Saturday. On the bright side, Earl Tatum has
recovered from a sprained wrist and should play in Wednesday's home
game with the Lakers.
P.S. The Pistons also play the Phoenix Suns on Saturday in the Silver-
dome.
Pro Hockey
After taking a rest for a few games, the Montreal Canadiens have"
begun to play the kind of hockey that is expected of them. This means the
Red Wings might have to content with second place at best. The Wings travel
to Atlanta for a Wednesday.snight encounter before coming home to play the
Sabres.
College Sports
In hockey, the Wolverines host number one ranked Denver at Yost
Arena. The top ten rated teams in the nation are presently: (1) Denver with
92 points, (2) Boston University with 78, (3) Minnesota-75, (4) North
:Dakota-59, (5) Bowling Green-49, (6) Notre Dame-46, (7) Wisconsin-42,
(8) Michigan Tech-31, (9) Cornell-20, and (10) Tie-Minnesota Duluth and
,New Hampshire with 14 points. Michigan, Northern Michigan, and
Providence all received points. WCHA games this week are: Michigan
State at Notre Dame, Michigan Tech at Colorado, Wisconsin at North
Dakota and Minnesota at Minnesota-Duluth.
Th Michigan women's volleyball team has been voted in as one of the
,eams in this week's regional tournament in Illinois. This will be the first ap-
pearance in the regionals for the Wolverine netters, who ended up third in
the state behind Central Michigan and Michigan State.
The Michigan basketball team opens its season with an exhibition game
with Windsor this Saturday at 8:05 in Crisler.
Well that wraps it up. I hope you didn't miss too much.

Michigan's harriers pulled through
the District IV cross country cham-
pionships Saturday with a ,fourth place
finish, qualifying them for the NCAA's
in' Madison next week. The top four of
the '14 teams that ran the 10,000 meter
course in Minneapolis will be sent to the
National Championships by funding
from the NCAA.
The first place team came as no sur-
prise as the favored Wisconsin striders
soared to an easy victory over second
place Indiana with 65 points and third
place Minnesota with 103 points.,
Michigan rounded out the top four with
110 points.
Despite a temperature of 32 degrees
and icy 20 mile per hour winds,
Wisconisn's Steve Lacy placed first
among 107 finishers at 30:18.1. Doug
Sweazy came in first for Michigan in
the 13th spot at 31:13.6.
Michigan's Dan Heikkinen placed
15th at 31:16, followed by Dave Lewis in
the 23rd spot at 31:27.4, Bruce McFee in
the 28th spot at 31:38.5 and Steve Elliott
in the 31st spot at 31:41.
"We've had three different men place
number one for us," commented coach
Ron Warhurst. "Elliott, Heikkinen and
now Sweazy have all been our top
men."
Warhurst was also pleased that there
was only a 28 second split between his
top five men. "If we can run like that at
the Nationals, just placing a little
higher, we can make the top ten," he
speculated.
"Basically, that's what we're
shooting for, the top ten, but we can't
make any mistakes if we're going to
make it there."
