BLUE STORMS SPAR TAN TURF
..
Wanted: R
By GEOFF LARCOM
What a difference a year has made
offensively for Michigan and Michigan
State.
It was a battle of high-powered offen-
ses last year in Michigan Stadium with
Michigan's stellar veteran backfield
going against the Spartan contingent,
led by quarterback Eddie Smith and
all-American end Kirk Gibson.
The result for both sides was stun-
ning, the Spartans grinding out 500 yar-
ds 'on offense in laying a solid 24-15
spanking on heavily-favored Michigan.
But the names entrusted with moving
the ball have changed considerably for
the Big Ten co-champions since then,
and both Darryl Rogers' and' Bo
Schembechler's offenses have plenty to
prove as they take the field for today's
sellout East Lansing matchup.

Bi g Ten Preview
ft's final in NL
A crowd in excess of 50,000, largest
of the season for Minnesota, will fill
Memorial Stadium to watchthe
Gophers battle Purdue this after-
noon.
The game matches two of the Big
Ten's most exciting offensive per-
formers in Minnesota tailback
Marion Barber and Purdue quarter-
back Mark Herrmann. This will be
the first meeting since 1973 for the
two schools.
The success of Purdue's running
attack -'against Oregon prompted
Boilermaker coach Jim Young to
declare, "For the first time in three
years, we know we have the ability
to move the football without the aid
of the pass."
Meanwhile, the Hawkeyes of Iowa
travel to Champaign to face Illinois
for the 69th oulnois hinecoming
game. Illinois leads theaseries, 27-14.
Iowa finally broke into the win
column last week with a 30-14 vic-
tory over longtime rival Iowa State.
Iowa State was unable to stop
Hawkeye running back Dennis
Mosley, who rushed for 229 yards,
second most in Iowa history.
A Parent's Day crowd of 71,500 is
expected for the 32nd meeting bet-
ween Indiana and Wisconsin in
Madison. Indiana has had its share
of problems playing at Madison,
with only three victories in its 17
previous meetings.
The Hoosiers' hopes rest on the
arm of Tim Clifford, the running of
fullback Lonnie Johnson, and an
aggressive defense which ranks
third in the conference.
Northwestern has the most over-
whelming task in the Big Ten this
week. The Wildcats visti Columbus,
where the Buckeyes are riding high
after their 17-13 upset of UCLA. Last
year Ohio State smashed Coach Rick
Venturi's squad, 63-20, and a similar
result is expected today.
The Buckeyes, 4-0, are off to their
best start since 1975, a year, inciden-
tally, in which they went to the Rose
Bowl. First-year coach Earle
Bruce's team is led by quarterback
Art Schlichter, the sophomore
phenom who leads the NCAA in
passing.

PITTSBURGH (AP)-Wondrous
Willie Stargell drove in three runs with
an awesme, home run and a double,
and the Pittsburgh Pirates charged into
the 1979 World Series with a 7-1 victory
over Cincinnati yesterday, completing
a three-game sweep of their National
League Championship Series.
Stargell, the 38-year-old leader of the
club, continued an amazing season by
hammering his second homer of these
playoffs. The first one, a three-run shot
in the 11th inning of the opener, gave
the Pirates a 5-2 victory in Cincinnati.
This one was a carbon copy-a high,
arcing drive that soared far and deep
into the second deck in right field
leading off the third inning.
ONE OUT LATER, Bill Madlock
walloped another homer-this one a
sizzling line drive that lacked the
soaring majesty of Stargell's shot. But
it produced the same result, sending the
fans into a frenzy.
Pirates winner Bert Blyleven easily
controlled the Reds' bats, striking out
nine, pitching comfortably with the big.
lead, and getting the crucial outs when
he needed them.
Blyleven, who had completed only
four of 37 starts during the regular
season, turned in a gritty performance.r
The only run he allowed came in the
sixth when Johnny Bench straightened
out one of the right-hander's curves
and drove it for his fifth career playoff
homer.

culminating a dramatic two-run ninth
inning rally and giving the California
Angels a 4-3 victory over Baltimore last
night.
The triumph narrowed the Orioles'
edge in the best-of-five series to 2-1,
with the fourth game scheduled for 3:15
today.
THE ANGELS took a 1-0 lead in their
half of the first inning as Carney Lan-
sford singled, stole second, then came
home on Dan Ford's single to right.
Baltimore tied the score in the fourth
when Lee May lashed a single to left,
scoring Ken Singleton, who had doubled
to open the frame against Angel starter
Frank Tanana.
Don Baylor put the Angels ahead in
the bottom of the fourth with a mam-
moth home run off Oriole hurler Dennis
Martinez, but Baltimore knotted the
contest again in the sixth on a Doug
DeCinces sacrifice fly.
Terry Crowley put the Orioles in front
in the seventh with a ground ball single
that scored Al Bumbry.

People at Michigan don't appreciate
lacrosse, primarily because they don't
know it."
Fleischman has discovered that im-
pressing a club sport upon the student
body is not just' difficult; it is nearly
impossible. "We're not an IM team, or
some run-of-the-mill shabby
operation," he said. "We play inter-
collegiately against some of the finest
talent in the country. Ohio State
finished in the Top Twenty last
season."
Yes, but the Buckeyes are,a varsity
unit. If Michigan's lacrosse club were
granted varsity status, would the
Wolverines encounter similar success?
Definitely, maintains Fleischman. "I
played in a league last summer with
players from several top colleges. I left
convinced that Michigan, given the
right amount of money and exposure,
could compete with the nation's best."
Money and exposure go far in deter-
mining a sport's popularity at
Michigan, and that's why lacrosse has
not yet attracted a large following.
"Someone's got to promote the
program here," said Fleischman. "Mr.
Canham took two non-descript football
teams and put 65,000 people in the
stadium. They can do it if they want to.
It's a matter of who gets the support
and who gets the ink."
