State's Ray Stachowicz that his team's edge isn't too slight, leads the Big Ten in punting with a No more mystery: MSU goes with Vaughn By GREG DeGULIS Along with a devastating loss at South Bend last Saturday, Michigan State lost two quarterbacks, starter Bert Vaughn and backup Bryan Clark. Without the services of the top two passers, the Spartans finished the game with a grand total of nine yards in the air against the Irish. Vaughn, the heir apparent to Eddie Smith, was enjoying a fine season until the game against Miami of Ohio. Vaughn was racked heavily in the narrow victory over Miami, and during the following week at Notre Dame the sophomore quarterback was forced to leave the game in the second quar- ter after suffering a lower back injury. The injury was diagnosed as a kidney contusion and Vaughn was released from the hospital on Monday. Vaughn made the transition from patient to passer quickly, and the Spartans were, able to practice with Vaughn in preparation of "Michigan" week. Coach Darryl Rogers stated that Vaughn was "improving daily" and that Michigan State's number one signal caller "should be ready on Satur- day." Clark, the Spartan backup to Vaughn, also received some licks in the Notre Dame contest, resulting in a chest injury which forced Clark to leave the game. That left MSU with a host of inexperienced quarterbacks and newfound fears for the Michigan game. But, despite Spartan skepticism early in the week, Vaughn got the nod against Michigan. Thus, the only unknown factor in the quarterback situation is on the part of Michigan. Will it be B.J. Dickey or John Wangler? Don't hold your breath. booming ,j4.6 yards per kick average, and Morten Anderson is tops among placekickers in scoring (29 points). Michigan State Coach Darryl Rogers thus qualifies for under- statement of the year with: "We may have a slight edge in the kicking game.' KICKING LEGS alone can't beat Michigan, however, and the Spar- tans have some legs on their offen- sive unit, as well. Back from the receiving trio that baffled 'the Wolverines' secondary a yearago in Ann Arbor are tight end Mark Brammer (6'4", 238), and flanker Eugene Byrd. While they no longer have Eddie Smith zipping bullets into their respective midsections, Smith's successor sophomore Bert Vaughn, is fourth in the conference in both passing and total offense. Vaughn sat out most of last week's 27-3 loss to Notre Dame after being injured in the first quarter, but Rogers says that he's ready and will start. If Vaughn starts hurting, he can just turn and hand the ball to 5'8" tailback Steve Smith, currently second in the Big Ten in rushing. MICHIGAN Assistant Coach Jack Harbaugh calls MSU's offensive front, anchored. by center Matt Foster, "a professional-type unit. They are big and strong, and they pass protect particularly well." Michigan State's pass defense is its only glaring weakness. Four-year starter Mark Anderson tries to hold together an injury-riddled secon- dary that ranks eighth in the Big Ten in pass defense. Middle guard Bernard Hay and tackles Tanya Webb and Pat Mitten (freshman) compose a formidable front line which allows linebackers Larry Savage and John McCormick to slip through and make most of the tackles. ROGERS HASN'T let last week's fiasco in South Bend get him down. "We just have to battle like crazy. We've had everything we'd expect to have in a big week like this, in- cluding great practices. "Michigan's got the psychological edge, though. They've probably got all their signs up saying, 'Remem- ber last year'." You can bet a leg.on it, Darryl. STAR BAR 109 N.

"We really stand a chance to win this one;" said women's coach Red Sim- mons. "Bowling Green has a lot of good girls, but they finished behind us in the MSU Invitational. Our main com- petition should be Bowling Green, Ohio, and Oberlin." The Wolverines are coming off a third place finish at MSU meet last week, a race in which Michigan's Melanie Weaver was outkicked for first by Carrie Craven from Ohio, a veteran road racer and one of the better women distance runners in the country. "MELANIE COULD have beaten her," commented Simmons. "It was just a matter of strategy; they ran together the entire race and Craven just pulled away in the end." Summing up, Simmons noted that, "This course (at Bowling Green) is pretty flat, a lot different from the MSU Course. Our girls should run on the flat pretty well. "We've had a good week of training. If we don't take it, I'll be pretty sur- prised," Simmons added. "HOW WILL we do?," asked men's coach Ron Warhurst rhetorically. With a good-natured grin, he answered his own question, "We're going to kick ass." Warhurst has good reason to be op- timistic. Michigan has recruited some of the better prep runners in the coun- try to add depth to its already accom- plished squad, led by NCAA steeplechase finalist Dan Heikkinen. "We had our best performance ever as a team at Springbank," said Warhurst, alluding to the well-known Canadian road race which has become something of a traditional season opener for Michigan cross-country teams. "We had a good consistency in our time spread. Our top six guys were within about 40 seconds-that's the mark of a good team. "We won the Invitational last year, 67-96 over Auburn. Auburn looks to be good again this year; Illinois State and t. Notre Dame are pretty respectable, too," Warhurst said. "THE WAY things are shaping up now, we're going to be a hell of a lot bet- ter than I thought at the beginning of the season." "This will be a good test," Warhurst added. If Warhurst's assessment of his team's capabilities is correct, though, the only thing testing the Michigan harriers this weekend will be the long trip to and from South Bend.
