BATTLE FOR BROWN JUG: The Michigan Daily-Saturday, October 13, 1979-Page 7 Upstart Minnesota will 'Go-pher' Blue blood By DAN PERRIN Ask Michigan coach Bo Schembechler how good the Wolverines' upcoming opponent is in any given week, and, inevitably, he'll rant and rave about how tough every team in the Big Ten is. Most of us oelieve him when a top- notch squad like Ohio State, Michigan State or Purdue is the scheduled op- position. But it becomes a challenge to hold back the snickers when Schem- bechler tries to convince us how power- fgl any of the other conference mem- bers are. *Yet, the Michigan mentor seems to have reason to worry about today's in- voders, the Minnesota Golden Gophers, who are in town to battle for the legen- dary "Brown Jug." The Gophers proved to one and all last week that they are no easy pushovers when they upset highly-ranked Purdue, 31-14, at Minneapolis. The win upped Min- nesota's league record to 2-1 (3-2 overall), good for fourth place behind a trio of leaders, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio State. 'I can't help but feel that it (the win over Purdue) will give us a positive ef- fect," said Gopher coach Joe Salem. "We went into the Purdue ganie knowing we had a big game on our han- ds. "The players practiced hard all week," Salem added. "I .really felt Friday that we were ready to play last week. But one game doesn't make a season or career." Salem, in his first year at Minnesota, brings a team filled to the brim with seniors in to face the 4-1 Wolverines in a 1 p.m. contest at Michigan Stadium. Eight of the 11 starters on offense are fourth year men, while six more seniors are first teamers on defense. All told, seniors occupy 14 of the 22 starting spots. In addition, another senior, Paul Rogind of Farmington Hills, handles the place-kicking chores for the Gophers. It's this experience that has Schem- bechler more than a little concerned. "They're a veteran outfit," said Schembechler. "They know what they're doing. They're not going to fluster easily. That's the same team that beat us up there (in Minneapolis) in '77." While it's true Minnesota upset the Wolverines 16-0 at Minneapolis -two years ago, it will be much more of a .challenge for the Gophers to come out on top this time around. This year's game is in Ann Arobr, where Michigan rarely loses, and where they buried the Gophers 42-10 last season. Minnesota will also be forced to over- come the loss of starting fullback Garry White, the team's leading rusher with 452 yards and two touchdowns. White is out with a severely sprained ankle and will most likely be replaced by senior Jeff Thompson. If the Gophers hope to mount any sort of serious attack against the stingy Michigan defense, Detroit native Marion Barber will have to come up with an encore performance to last week's three touchdown performance against the Boilermakers. Barber, who led the Big Ten in rushing last year (1,210 yards, 4.4 average), has been held to 'just' 306 yards in five games -this season, due in part to Salem's double wing offense, in which Barber is used more as a decoy and a blocker. Other key players on the '79 Gopher squad thus far this year have been senior quarterback Mark Carlson, who has completed 61 of 106 passes for 718 yards and three scores, and linebacker Jack Johnson, who leads the Gopher defense with 50 tackles.

Shumate, a 6-foot-9 forward from Notre Dame who has had three of his seasons cut off because of pulmonary embolisms, scored eight points as Detroit expanded a 61-60 lead into a 73-60 margin while outscoring Indiana 33-19 in the third quarter. The Pacers cut the gap to six points, 105-99, with 2:37 to play, but Bob McAdoo hit a jumper and Shumate converted a three-point play to put the game away. McAdoo, playing his first game with Detroit, scored 23 points to lead the Pistons while first- round draft choice Gregory Kelser added 18 in his first pro game. Center Bob Lanier equalled Shumate's point production with 20 and also grab- bed 10 rebounds. NBA ROUNDUP mmel Pace .t d t 4- e f s a e Guard Johnny Davis led Indiana with 28 points, while Alex English came off the bench to score 22 and Mickey Johnson had 20. Center James Edwards drew three fouls in the first 3:28 of the game and only played 7:31 of the first three quarters, which hurt Indiana. Philadelphia 93, Washington 92 LANDOVER, Md.-Darryl Dawkins' leaning underhand shot with 14 seconds to play last night gave the Philadelphia 76ers a 93-92 victory over the Washington Bullets in the National Basketball Association opener for both teams. Dawkins, in his new starting role, scored' 24 points and grabbed the last rebound to preserve the victory. Julius Erving paced the 76ers with 27 points. Greg Ballard came off the bench to make two layins in the last 57 seconds to give the Bullets a 92- 91 advantage with 24 seconds left. rs, 114 10 After a timeout, the 76ers ran a play which gave Dawkins his opening underneath. Elvin Hayes paced the Bullets with 25 points and Kevin Porter, playing his first game since being acquired from Detroit, had 11 assists. Roston 114, Houston 106 BOSTON-Larry Bird, the nation's college player of the year, made a spectacular professional debut in a decisive outburst at the start of the second half, and the Boston Celtics downed the Houston Rockets 114-106 last night in a National Basketball Association opener. Bird took command at the start of the third period with Boston in front 56-53. He grabbed three rebounds off his defensive boards and scored four points as the Celtics went on an 11-2 spree which carried them to a 67-55 advantage.2s With Moses Malone scoring 29 points, the Rockets hung tough but could not get closer than four points the rest of the way. Birds fly past Bucs; By MICHAEL ARKUSH Special to the Daily PITTSBURGH-After 31/2 innings of play a heavy downpour halted play in last night's World Series action. The Pittsburgh Pirates jumped to an early 30+ lead, but the Baltimore Orioles rallied for two runs and the score was 3-2 at the time play was stopped. The hour long rain delay was apparently not enough to dampen the Orioles' comeback in the fourth. The barrage began when Rich Dauer opened the inning with a double and Dempsey followed up with a single. Pitcher Scott McGregor grounded to short setting up Kiko Garcia's three-run triple tilting the scoreboard, 5-2. THE BALTIMORE onsurge was enough to bring out Pirate relief hand Enrique Romo replacing Candelaria. But the reliever fared no better hitting Bum- brywith his first pitch, and giving up one run with a single to Ken Singleton. It looked like a temporary reprive for the Pirates when "Steady Eddie'.' Murray flied out, and Doug DeCinces hit into what looked like a certain double play. But Garner's throw to first went wild, allowing Bumbry to limp home: In their turn in the inning, the Pirates, apparently still stunned by the Baltimore sudden comeback went down one-two-three.

Unbeat By MARK BOROWSKI Whose turn at the upset wheel will it be this week? As the Big Two-Little Eight label wears thin and the talent of the Big Ten begins leveling out, every game becomes anybody's game. Michigan learned that lesson last year after being embarrassed by up- start Michigan State. And this year, with only two games gone in the Big Ten schedule, pre-season conference favorite Purdue is already licking upset wounds after being slashed by the Min- nesota Gophers, 31-14 last weekend. -OHIO STATE (2-0) best buckle their seatbelts as the Indiana Hoosiers drive into Columbus with the same shiny 2-0 conference record. "You can just bet that Indiana will come in here ready to play. They have a fine team with a good passer and several fine running backs," said Ohio State mentor Earle Bruce. In command of the Indiana team will be junior quarterback Tim Clifford. He has a .632 completion percentage and will most definitely be looking for his leading receiver, tight end Bob Stephenson, against an OSU passing defense ranked eighth in the conferen- ce. HOOSIER COACH Lee Corso has two powerful tailbacks streaking out of his backfield in Mike Harkrader and Lon- Fen Bucks, Hoosiers clash SINGLES NIGHT GIN, VODKA & WHISKEY COCKTAILS only 50a EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT nie Johnson, but the Ohio State defense has been very stingy against the run this year, allowing an average of only 156 yards per game. But the Buckeyes have a very im- pressive offense as well, led by sophomore quarterback Art Schlichter. Schlichter is the nation's fifth leading passer and almost single-handedly led his team to a last second victory over Minnesota four weeks ago. The tailback situation is not as promising for Bruce, though, since he lost his first three tailbacks to injury last week. The starting duties will be placed on the shoulders of freshman Tim Spencer. Last week he carried the ball eight times for 48 yards. DARRYL ROGERS' battered Spar- tans will try to recover from two con- secutive losses as they travel to Wisconsin to take on the Badgers. The Michigan State offense will still be hurting as first string quarterback Bert Vaughn, who suffered a bruised SCORES World Series Baltimore 7.

Sophomore Bryan Clark will make his first collegiate start at quar- terback for the Spartans. The Badgers, under the direction of Coach Dave McClain, are also hobbled by injuries--and trying to break a two- game losing streak. THE FIGHTING Illini will do battle with the Purdue Boilermakers, and at stake is the 75-year-old Cannon, awar- ded annually for 31 years to the winner of the game. Mark Herrmann, the quarterback of the number one Big Ten aerial attack, will be trying to avenge his team's loss to Minnesota at the expense of Illinois (0-2). The task may not be as easy as it sounds because the Illini have the second best passing defense in the con- ference. The Northwestern Wildcats will be searching for their first Big Ten win since 1977.
