Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, September 25, 1971 Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, September 25, 1971 Big By BILL ALTERMAN Back in the good olde days of the thirties and forties the Big Ten was THE football con- ference. Year after year they would have the nation's number one ranked team. They were the class of the country. But, alas, the times they are a changing and the Big Ten of late has been showing the con- sequences of their tighter re- quirements and ' restrictions. Last week a new height in fu- tility was reached as only two of the teams could win out of the nine nonconference games played. This week will bring little so- lace to many of the losers as once again is appears the Big Ten will take a shellacking from out-of-conference foes. Such national powers at Notre Dame, Louisiana State, South- ern California, Colorado, Syra- cuse and UCLA will be out to make things rough for Big Ten teams. Michigan, which takes on tough UCLA, is not the only conference power with their hands full today.

It is also full of something else, smog. So, of course, a logical choice for guest selector would be Mr. Robert L. Chase, Los Angeles County Air Pollution Con- trol Office.' This is the job that goes ior the most part, unmentioned. (The smog too is quite unmentionable.) He tries hard as number two. What's first? The smog, of course. "How is the pollution in the 4ir there in LA?" "Pretty Athin."' (Whether this reference is to the pollution or the air is unknown.) "Actually how is the weather in sunny California?"I "Sunny when we can see it. How about Ann Arbor?" "Well, we've had a lot of rain lately." "Shhhhhh! Not so loud! No one in LA likes to hear about that. It's almost become . .. obscene." ''Why? What's so bad about some nice refreshing rain?'' "Why!? Because it doesn't exist here. Why some children are being raised not knowing the beauty of a summer shower that isn't covered with film. Most kids think the smog is coming down. Some even believe an oil slick to be smog on the surface." But we did get Mr. Chase to choose the winners of our games. The choices are ,in boldface which is the big letters in journalism lingo (which is language in journalism lingo). 1. UCLA at Michigan (.27-24) 11. OKLAHOMA at Pittsburgh 2. Illinois at USC 12.

Olivet at HEIDELBERG - - - - -- - - - - - Indiana at Baylor Illinois at Southern Cal Washington State at Minnesota Oregon State at Michigan State big bad Bucks have not lost there since 1967. Syracuse tied up Wisconsin last week, 20-20, and today would like to really go to work on a demoralized Northwestern team. The Wildcats have lost two in a row and last 'week's trouncing by Notre Dame may have really taken the fight out of them. Number two ranked Notre Dame tore into Northwestern last week and today they will sink their long fangs into Pur- due. The Boilermakers have beaten the Irish four times in the last ten years but that was mostly in the days of Bob Griese and Mike Phipps. Though Pur- due's offense put on a tremen- dous show against Washington last week, Notre Dame's defense willpresent a much tougher problem.. Wisconsin managed to come away with a tie in last week's contest with Syracuse but they may not be so lucky today. Their opponent, Louisiana State, clobbered Texas A&M and seemed to have regained the form that led them to a 9-3 record last year. LSU also has the distinction of being one of the few teams in the na- tion that actually touts a de- fensive player for the Heis- man Trophy. This, of course, is Tommy Casanova, a defensive cornerback who occasionally gets put on offense. Hapless Illinois will continue their feeble ways today as they will more than likely get blown out of the stadium by tough Southern California. The Illini have yet to score a point this season and John McKay's boys may keep it that way. Another conference floosy, Iowa, will also find the going not so great today as perennial power Penn State battles them ce long on regional tv. Hawkeye coach Frank Lauterbur is well on his way to being the Denny McLain of college football. While Lau- terbur was with Toledo the Roc- kets won 23 games in a row. Today will probably be number three going the other way for poor Frank. One club which expects to have it a little easier this week is Minnesota. The Gophers got stomped by number one ranked Nebraska last week but didn't look as bad as the 35-7 score might indicate. Their opponent today, Washington State is winless to date and quarterback Craig Curry should lead the Go- phers to victdry number two. 5 Another biggie pits Indiana against Baylor. Indiana knock- ed off Kentucky last week and could repeat today as they take on none too tough Baylor. Nei- ther team is going anywhere v this year but ,they do have the satisfaction of playing at night in muggy Waco, Texas. And finally, Michigan State, which has averaged five points in its first two games, takes on Oregon State. OSU beat up Iowa last week and could do it again today. Before the season began ev- erybody was saying how great MSU would be and so far their '>. defense has been superb. Alas, their offense hasn't gone any- where and Coach Duffy Daugh- erty has been franctically /... changing his lineup in order to find a workable combination. If.. ?. he doesn't find it soon it may be goodbye Duffy shortly. If nothing else, the Big Ten today has home town advant- age - for whatever that's worth. Eight of today's ten contests are being played on NORT Big- Ten turf with only Illinois his foo and Indiana forced out of their stompi local abode. It won't help. slightly *i .1 4 HWESTERN'S BARRY PEARSON seems to have gotten ot caught in an unidentified Michigan object.

Saturday FRIDAY, 24 SATURDAY, 25 SUNDAY, 26 VOLS CONFRONT TIGERS: SEC shootout set today MISSISSIPPI FRED McDOWELL and TERRY TATE Fri., Sat.: 2 Shows 7:30-10:00 Sunday: 1 Show 8:30 r TICKETS ALL SHOWS $2.00j No one wanted the blues master to leave the stage but he had to give way to the other artists. "They have to be heard. You know they got a right," Mississippi Fred McDowel explained. And anyone who had seen the Arhoolie Records artist's set should consider themselves lucky, for they had been treated to a blues giant who had lived it a lifetime and played it for the better part of three decades. He accompanied his vocals with Stelia, a Gibson electric guitar, slightly amplified, and Jim Tutunjian on Fender bass. The set was pure blues, smooth. and clean, as McDowell allowed his fingers to float across Stella's frets augmenting a strong vocal blues style which McDowell could truly call his own. "My Babe," "Baby Please Don't Go," "Good Morn' Lil' Schoolgirl," and "You Got to Move," had everyone foot stomping and drifting at the same time. The man has lived his music. Also appearing was Tom Everett, RCA Records artist. Everett, playing a 12-string guitar and accompanied by a three-man back-up, ran through several pop country tunes from his new LP, "Porchlight On In Oregon," "Excitation Revire," "Theresa," and "Bad Dreams," fea- tured a good vocal effort on Everett's part and a very tight group. But Everett does not have the total control of his voice as yet. His style, somewhat akin to Roy Orbison's vocal style, really showed when he sang Orbison's "It's Over." Everett sits on the threshold of a fine career, and his group is more than adequate. There will be more heard from this RCA artist in the future, BOB GLASSENBERG Billboard Magazine Sept. 4, 1971 COMING: Oct. 1, 2, 3-Arthur Bigboy Crudup And Johnny Shines ADVANCE TICKETS at Salvation Records, Pinball Alley in the Basement-ADMISSION ALWAYS FREE By JIM EPSTEIN Southern gentlemen will take a threethour break from theirbusy schedules all over the South today to watch their televisions and lis- ten to the dulcet tones of Chris Schenkel and Bud Wilkinson de- scribe the action as two of the three powers in the Southeastern Conference clash in the game that could decide the SEC champion- ship.

Last season's meeting ended in -a 36-23 victory for the Tigers and was the only blemish on Tennessee's 1970 record. The visiting Volunteers jumped out to a 10-0 lead, but blundered the ball over to Pat Sullivan and the Auburn squad time and again and Sullivan guided the Tigers to the comeback win. Auburn finished the season at 8-2 and with Sullivan and split end Terry Beasley returning for their senior years, the Tigers are a good bet to improve. The Vols, 11-1 in 1970, blame Auburn for preventing them from getting the national championship they thought was rightfully theirs. Tennessee is currently working on an 11 game winning streak, with last year's loss to Auburn being the only one coach Bill Battle has' suffered.- Tennessee's Neyland Stadium, where a crowd of over 65,000 is expected for today's game, holds some unpleasant memories for Sullivan. Two years ago Sully, the nation's total offense leader at the For the student body: Genuine Authentic f Navy PEA COATS $25 Sizes 34 to 50 State Street at Liberty time, was intercepted five times by the Volunteer defense in a total collapse of the Auburn attack en route to a 45-19 loss. Auburn relies upon what they call a "fast field" offense which is a wide open style, best suited for a dry field. The Tigers employ a spread formation designed to free their wide receivers one on one. Beasley, along with Sullivan, is the key to the maneuver. Beasley's credentials include 52 catches and an average gain of 20.2 yards per reception in 1970. Coach Ralph (Shug) Jordan uses the spread formation with the idea that should the defense choose to double cover Beasley, the other 'wide man will have only one man within striking distance once he catches the ball. Tennessee has been experiencing quarterback troubles since the graduation of Bobby Scott .last year. Dennis Chadwick, a senior, was one of three signal callers used by Battle in last week's open- er against California - Santa Bar- bara. There is little doubt about Chadwick's running skill, but his passing ability is open to"wide- spread doubt. Curt Watson, a pre-season fa- vorite for all-SEC recognition keys an overpowering Tennessee run- ning attack from his fullback spot. Chadwick saw limited action in the Vols easy win last week, but he did pick up 71 yards in 9 car- ries, or almost 8 yards a try. The Volunteer defense is an- chored by what is generally con- ceded to be the best set of line- backers in the conference. All- America Jackie Walker holds down one spot, while Ray Nettles and Jamie Rotella fill out the corps. The Auburn coaching staff feels that Tennessee will have to control the ball to beat them. They feel that if the Tiger defense can force the Vols out of their grinding ground attack and into a passing game, it would be tantamount to victory. So, while Tennessee will concen- trate on stopping Auburn's passing game, the Tigers will have to con- tain the Vols' running. And, in all probability, the least successful team can forget about an SEC championship in 1971. i 1 DISCOVEF IIIPiOAft SUBahSCRIBE' --.. , ~to ii/Y I4 't kII " r~ ~a .9 O55 oU I Domestic and Imported Leather 1317 South Univ. 769-4529 Where you can find not only the garments but also tops, dresses, many other exciting accessories. finest in leather pants, belts and I,- I i I I I I
