However, there exists a sepa- rate class of gridiron squads, known as the independents, which usually puts on some kind of sideshow, with one of its representatives stealing the show in post-season action. The mention of the word inde- pendents should immediately bring the thought of Notre Dame to mind. Last year's run- ner-up to Nebraska for national honors; the Fighting Irish should once again be a power- house. Led by mentor Ara Parse- ghian, Notre Dame has 16 out of 22 starters returning with the memory of a 24-11 victory over Texas in the Cotton Bowl un- der their belts. Last year, Notre Dame's rug- ged defense grudgingly gave up only 108 points against power- house teams like Georgia Tech. In the season's opener last week, the Notre Dame defense inter- cepted seven passes and block- ed a punt, displaying awesome control over Northwestern's of- fense while winning 50-7. With such defensive talents as All-American deepiback Clar- ence Ellis and Walt Patulski, i, 1 GO TO LAW SCHOOL Sign up today to take the Law School Admis- sions Test (LSAT).

Offensively, Parseghian has the arduous task of replacing Wunderkind Joe Theismann at quarterback. Junior Pat Steen- berge directed the attack against Northwestern last week, exhibiting cool confidence in his game plan. Senior Bill Etter also took the helm several times, displaying few weaknesses by which he could be victimized. Rounding out the offense are all four ends from last year, including All - American wide receiver Tom Gatewood and hard-running back Ed Gulyas. The impressive mangling of Northwestern last Saturday in- dicates that Parseghian is wasting little time in the race for the national championship this year. One of Notre Dame's oppo- nents, Georgia Tech, compiled a 9-3 record under the tutelage of Bud Carson. The Ramblin' Wreck also crushed Texas Tech in the Sun Bowl. This year, the Yellowjackets will have even more sting. Lead- ing the defense is Smylie Geb- hart, a defensive end and quar- terback - eater extraordinaire, and tackle Brad Bourne, who was plagued by injuries last year. A school record was set in to- tal offense in 1970 in spite of an unbelievable 21 interceptions. Quarterback Eddie McAshan seems to need still more prac- tice. In last week's win against Michigan State he was 0-8 with two interceptions. Luckily, Mc- Ashan has Brent Cunningham, 5-7, 170, one of the best Tech backs to date, and speedster Greg Horne at right half to help him out of dangerous situations. Georgia Tech's schedule is tough, but with the talent it dis- played against Michigan State, not to mention only three away games, it should be another in- dependent that will cause top This Is lIt Imported & Domestic Leather Phone 769-4529 1317 So. University conference teams. embarrass- ment, The fantasy world of Penn State's Joe Paterno crumbled last year in a 7-3 season, ending a winning streak of 31 games. Drastic changes like switching from an open attack to the wing-T and installing junior John Hufnagel at quarterback have created welcome optimism at University Park. Returning veterans on offense such as split ends Scott Skar- zynski and Bob Parsons will pro- vide Hufnagel with abundant targets. If an aerial attack fal- ters, Lidell Mitchell, who scored five touchdowns against Navy last week, will provide the necessary power. Defensively, the Nittany Lions will field a line reputed to be the quickest and hardest hitting in the history of the school. The main worry on defense will be the inexperienced secondary. Paterno is back on the road to Bowl Country this year as last week's 56-3 massacre of Navy indicates. Tennessee, P e n n State's last scheduled opponent, will provide the real test of Pa- terno's rebuilding ability. Syracuse was troubled by ra- cial conflicts last year, but Coach Ben Schwartzwalder ral- lied his team to finish up 6-4 for the season. This year, 34 lettermen re- turn, including 17 of last year's 22 starters. The offensive line is headed by four seniors, led by 6-5, 165 tackle Dan Yochum. Returning backs Marty Janusz- kiewicz and Rodger Praetorius rushed for 1,200 yards collec- tively last year. Bob The Orangemen's defense is deadly. All-American defensive lineman Joe Ehrmann and mid- dle guard Ted Lachowicz are virtually unstoppable. In the secondary, all of last year's starters are returning, making penetration hazardous if not impossible. Michigan hosts Navy October 2 and the Middies will present the Wolverines with a relatively inexperienced offense. In 1970, Navy's highest score in any game was 14 points. Defensively, Navy is stronger, Chuck Voith, All - American candidate at linebacker is re- turning, along with the rest of last year's starters. Besides having to face the Wolverines, the Middies' sched- ule includes Penn State and Syracuse. 0 -Associatea rress Does it hurt or have a temperature? It might have been something he said or ate, but its bottoms up for Oakland Athletic backstop, Dave Duncan, who finds himself in the thick of things after a brief battle between his allies and the wonders from Chicago. Dave actually was not at the bottom of this entanglement of human flesh, as Oakland's Mike Epstein and Chicago's catcher, Ed Herrmann, find their faces smeared against the turf. The A's don't seem to know what to do with themselves since clinching their division title, as they dropped the twinbill to the Sox, 5-1, 6-2. Charles Finley has been notorious for his many gim- micks to draw people into the ball park, but odds are this one won't go over big.

SNOW? By THERESA SWEDO The University of Iowa is not famo'us for talented football teams. But this year Iowa has moved into new ground with the acquisition of a new coach with a wonder-worker reputation, Frank Lauterbur of Toledo. His 23- game win streak was the high- light of an eight-year career as the Toledo head coach. This year, however, it's a dif- ferent story, with another type of team in a definitely different league. Lauterbur seems hope- ful that he can do the same thing at Iowa that he did, at Toledo, saying, "It's a different league and the circumstances are differ- ent, but that's why we're here." Lauterbur has some reason for optimism. He has a strong sec- ondary defense, in which. he has great confidence. "We were hurt in the Ohio State game because our captain, (Steve) Clemens, was sidelined with a virus infection. I think he's the best in the country, though, when he's in the game," com- mented Lauterbur. Another reason for his opti- mism is the presence of a tailback U-M RIDING CLUB MASS ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING Mon., Sept. 27-7:30 P.M.

"He's a fine running back who's quick and dangerous when he has the ball. I'd like him to have the ball more" mentioned the Hawkeye mentor. Another valuable plus on Lau- terbur's squad is the presence of nine returning starters. These in- clude co-captain and guard Geoff Mickelson, tailback Mitchell, tac- kle John Muller, and guard Chuck Legler on offense. On defense there are co-captain and cornerback Craig Clemens, defensive backs Charlie- Podolak, Rich Solomon and Jerry Johnson, and tackles Jerry Nelson and Bill Windauer. As many reasons as there are for optimism in the coach's of- fice, there are also reasons foi4 dismay. For one thing, the Hawk- eyes are made up of mostly small rookies. He is concerned about the size of his players, saying, "We have to work with what we've got, but they certainly could do a lot better, job on defense. As for the size problem, I'd really like to get Alex Karras on waivers." Rookies dominate the Hawkeye team. There are 32 juniors, 20 so- phomores and only 19 seniors, most of whom did not start in last year's games. Top sopho- mores for the Hawkeyes are re- serve quarterbacks Rob Fick and John Highland, tailback Harold Johnson, wingback Dave Jackson, split end Brian Rollins, lineback- er Harry Young, place wicker Har- ry Kokolus, and tackle Jim Was- chek. Two of Iowa's most talented of-j fensive linemen are juniors Craig Darling and Tom Cabalka. Besides the personal problems of being a rookie coach LauterburI has worries about the fact that he has no proven quarterback or line- backers. He expresses cautious op- timism about his starting quarter- back, Frank Sunderman: "He im- proved quite a bit in the Ohio State game and has a lot of poise for a rookie." The Hawkeye's offensive phil- osophy is new this year and the defense has changed from a 4-3-4 to a 5-2-4. All the innovation on the team is bound to cause some confusion. After the dismal 52-21 opening against Ohio State Lauterbur felt that his defense needed im- provement "everywhere". He in- tends to try to weld the team to- gether and warns that "we better improve." It has been a long time since the Hawkeyes have won a Big Ten championship. The last time they were on top was way back in 1956. But as it's phrased in Ecclesiasties, "to everything there is a seas- son" and someday, perhaps with the help of coach Frank Lauter- bur and a mature team, Iowa's time will come.
