OSU, MICHIGAN PACE CONFERENCE
Defense now rules
Big
By DAN PERRIN
All season long Michigan Coach Bo
Schembechler has been. complaining
about the inconsistent, unpredictable
Wolverine offense. But, now that the big
plays are developing and the offense is
beginning to roll, along comes Bo to an-
nounce that he's sorry, but it's the
defense, not the offense that's going to
win or lose the Big Ten title this year.
"If you really analyze all three teams
going for the championship (Michigan,
Purdue and Ohio State), all have ex-
cellent defensive stats," Schembechler
said at yesterday's weekly press lun-
cheon. "That's why they're in the
race."
Schembechler's point seems valid as
evidenced by the weekly stats released
by the Big Ten Service Bureau. The
Buckeyes currently lead the conference
in scoring defense, having given up just
37 points in six games for a 6.1 points
per game average. Michigan ranks
second in that category with a 12.6 ppg
average, while the Boilermakers stand
fifth with a 17.0 ppg average.
Ohio State was also tops in pass
defense before last weekend's 44-7
crushing of Illinois, while Purdue held
down top honors in both rushing defense
and total defense.
Michigan has fared well against the
rush, second in the league before
Saturday's 54-0 humiliation of Wiscon-
sin,, but the Blue gridders don't have
much to brag about when it comes to
stopping the pass. They ranked a lowly
eighth in pass defense before the con-
test with the Badgers. Schembechler
explained why there is such a
discrepancy.m
"We're eighth in pass defense
because we're tops against the rush,"
the Michigan mentor. stated flatly.
"We're stopping their running game, so
teams are coming in and throwing a lot
against us."
Michigan went into this season with a
defense full of high hopes and staffed by
a load of veterans including a pair of fif-
th year men in tackles Curtis Greer and
Dale Keitz. The defenders started off
with a bang, holding the first five op-
ponents to 12 points or less each time
out.
But then along came a pair of top-
notch passers, Minnesota's Marl
Carlsonand Tim Clifford of Indiana,
who spoiled the fun as their teams
en race
racked up 21 points each against the
Wolverines.
Senior defensive halfback Martk
Braman feels that's why last weeken's,
throttling of the Badgers was so impor-
tant.
"The defense has been down," said
Braman. But we had a lot of-big plays
as a team (against Wisconsin) which
helps build our confidence and gives us
momentum which is important.
"It was a great victory," Braman,
added, "because it' was our first
shutout."
If Michigan plans to make the bow
trip to Pasadena for the fourth year in a'
row, the Blue defense will have to pull
off a repeat performance of last Satur,
day's Badger blanking. If Michigan can
do that, it's "California, here wee
come!"
At least, according to Bo Sche,-
bechler.

SOCCER
Michigan's graduate club concluded its regular season in grand fashion
Saturday, blasting Lawrence Tech, 7-2, at Elbel Field for its second win in
seven outings.
Arthur Fallick's pair of second half goals helped the Blue booters break
open a match tied 2-2 at the intermission. Alan McFayden, Nuno Alves and
Ron Bardach scored one goal each in the final session.
Don Burch opened the scoring for Michigan early in the first half.
Another Wolverine goal, this time from Adnan Ilerci, was offset by two
Lawrence tallies.
Lawrence started the match with seven players, compared to the stan-
dard 11 for Michigan. However, the Blue attack failed to capitalize on the
manpower advantage, prompting player-coach Art Anderson to remark,
"How can you get excited about a match when you've got 11 players and
they've got seven?"
-The grads are one of three teams (the Michigan undergrads and the
University of Detroit are the others) which have been invited to the Eastern
Invitational Tournament, hosted by EMU this Saturday. The grad club's fir-
st match will be held at 11 a.m. against the rival undergrads.
Anderson believes the first-round Michigan pairing was not sheer coin-
cidence. "They (EMU) probably didn't want an all-Michigan final, and that
may well have happened," he said.
Anderson, whose team lost to the undergrads, 3-1, last month, won't
make any prediction on Saturday's outcome. "We're going to have to mark
them individually this time," he said. "Last time we didn't do that in the
second half."
The undergrads, 8-2-1, suffered their first loss since October 13 Thursday
when Spring Arbor blanked Michigan, 3-0, at Fuller Park.
The contest was originally set for Wednesday evening on the Tartan
Turf, but was rescheduled because it conflicted with Intramural football.
Coach Steve Olsen and several of his players were a bit upset over the incon-
venience.
Spring Arbor, 10-3-2, led by one after the first half, but beat goalie Dave
Peress twice in the second stanza to seal the verdict. The Wolverines close
their regular season Wednesday at Central Michigan.
RUGBY
Michigan's 'A' team evened its record at 3-3-1 Saturday, annihilating the
Cincinnati Wolfhound Rugby Club, 16-0, behind scores by Bill Chung and
Lenny Pitt.
The triumph was Michigan's first ever over the powerful squad from the
Queen City.
The 'B' team, however, lost to Cincinnati, 16-14, as its record slipped to 4-
2-1.
The Blue ruggers visit Toledo Saturday to battle the Celtic City Club,
then return home the following weekend to finish the season against Ohio
State. ROWING
Michigan's rowers devastated Michigan State Sunday in a race held in
East Lansing, taking first place in three of the four individual events.
The Wolverines captured first and second place in the novice men's
competition, first in varsity women's and first in varsity men's, while
placing second and third in the mixed eight. Three boats compete in each
race.
Sunday's victory capped the rowers' successful 1979 season, as most
club members will put away their oars until next spring. A few, however,
will travel to Philadelphia on Nov. 24-25 to participate in the "Frostbite Re-
gatta."
SAILING
Last weekend Michigan hosted the area eliminations for the Timmie
Angsten Memorial Sailing Championships, held annually in Chicago during
Thanksgiving recess. Of the nine teams competing Sunday, only Michigan,
Michigan State and Notre Dame qualified for the Chicago event, which will
feature 20 top teams from across the nation.
The championship, sailed on the choppy Lake Michigan waters, will be
the last regatta for the Blue sailors until they travel to New Orleans during
winter break for the Sugar Bowl.
