Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, October 9, 1971 THEM-HIGN AIY1Studay Otoer-, 97 Race By BOB ANDREWS After a dismal showing against the non - conference competition (winning just nine of 25 con- tests), today the Big Ten grid- ders will unleash their not-so- awesome attacks against each other. In one of today's feature con- tests, two of the dark horses of the conference, Minnesota and Purdue, will battle at Lafayette. Bot squads post 1-0 conference records and realize that a loss would virtually wipe out any slim hopes they entertained about a trip to the Roses this winter. The Boilermakers, after a dis- heartening 8-7 loss to Notre Dame, rebounded last week to smash Iowa, 46-13. The Gophers enjoyed similar success, as, in' a mild upset, Coach Murray Wor- math's squad slipped by Kansas. Purdue, ranked third in the conference in total offense (29 points a game), has raised havoc against opponents both on the ground and in the air. Quarterback Gary Danielson has connected over fifty per- cent of the time, with his favorite target being end Rick Sayers (12 receptions for 174 yards). Supplementing Danielson is the backfield power supplied by full- back Otis Armstrong, third among belin4 Big Ten rushers with more than 88 yards amassed each game. Gopher signal caller, Craig Cur- ry, leading the Big Ten in total offense, will most likely concen- trate his attack to the air, as Purdue, second in rushing de- fense, ranks dead last in pass de- fense. After facing four tough oppo- nents, the Northwestern Wild- cats should breathe easier against Iowa, winless so far this year. Usually considered a passing team, the recent main line of at- tack for the Wildcats has been on the ground as running backs Randy Arnderson and Al Robin- son have ground out the yard- age. One possible reason for this shift of plans could be substan- tiated by the statistics for quar- terback Marty Daigneau. Daig- neau has hit on 49 of 104 passes touchdowns. Iowa Coach Frank Lauterbur for 608 yards and only two claims, "our attitude remains good. Despite the score (45-13), our overall performance at Pur- -due was better. Defensively, we hit harder and got to the ball better". Northwestern, however, should have little trouble running against the Hawkeyes, who have allowed 352 yards on the ground as well for as yielding 43.5 points per game. Almost all of the entire Hawk- eye offense is generated by one man - Levi Mitchell, who has caught 15 passes and run for 228 yards in 56 carries. Illinois finally traversed the goal line for the first time last week, but in the process, were run all over the field by Sonny Sixkiller of Washington, 52-14. Today, the Illini (0-1) must face the wrath of the Ohio State Buckeyes (1-0). First year coach for Illinois, feague Bob Blackman, is disturbed with' his team's performance thus far stating, "Our shortcomings are pretty obvious". The most ob- vious shortcoming has been the passing attack of junior Mike! Wells, who has completed just 20 of 48 tosses for 199 yards. By contrast, the Buckeye quar- terback, Don Lamka, has hit on 75 per cent of his aerials for 408 yards. End Dick Wakefield has snared 16 passes this season as Lamka's prime target. The Ohio' State offense is even more im- title I pressive with the running attack Lamka has as support. Fullback John Bledsoe, -as well as the versatile Lamka, are rank- ed in the top nine in Big Ten rushing. Rounding out the schedule will be Indiana at Wisconsin, a game that will force the relatively life- less Hoosiers to cope with the potent Badger offense highlight- ed by leading Big Ten rusher, Rufus Ferguson (96 yards per game) and talented signal caller, Neil Graff. . -Daiy-S a Krulwich NORTHWESTERN'S PAT KERSHAW (60) and Jack Derning (83) move in to make the tackle on Michigan running back Billy Taylor (42) in this year's opening game for both teams.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - An overpowering performance by Stan Smith, the cannonballing GI from Pasadena, Calif., sent the United States into a 1-0 lead over Ro- mania yesterday but the cliff- hanging second 'match between Frank Froehling III of Fort Lau- derdale, Fla., and Ion Tiriac was halted by darkness with the score 6-6 in the fifth set of the 1971 Davis Cup challenge round. The dramatic second singles match will be completed today, just before the doubles match send- ing Smith and 20-year-old Erik Van Dillen of San Mateo, Calif., against Tiriac and Ilie Nastase. Smith, the reigning U.S. Open champion and runnerup at Wim- bledon, c r u s h e d Nastase, Ro- mania's No. 1 ace, with unexpect- ed ease 7-5, 6-3, 6-1. The Romanians' big hope was in snatching Smith's blond scalp in the first match and immediately putting the Yanks against the wall. But the 6-foot-4 Smith, runner- up at Wimbledon this year and winner of the U.S. Open at Forest Hills, was in no mo'od to be so demeaned. He refused to wilt un- der the strong first set comeback by the brilliant Nastase and pro- ceeded to win his ninth Davis Cup test without a loss. "I think it was because we are much more tournament tough than the Romanians who went home to rest after Forest Hills," Smith said afterward. "When Nastase came back at me in the first set I didn't get too worried. I decided to hit my best shots and let the chips fall. I was used to such pressure." Then Froehling, called "the Spider" because of the arms and legs which dangle from his 6-foot- 5 frame, fought back from what seemed sure to be disaster to throw his match against the sin- ister-looking Tiriac into darkness. He appeared a certain loser af- ter dropping the first two sets 3-6, 1-6, but stormed back with his a w k w a r d, roundhouse forehand and smashing overheads to take the next two 6-1, 6-3 from the bushy bear from Brasov. Froehling served at 5-3 after a service break in the sixth game and had match point, but missed the sidelines by a scant one-half inch with a slashing forehand. A crowd of 5,000 at the Julian J. Clark Tennis Stadium, bored through the first four hours of play, was brought to a screaming pitch by the comeback of Froeh- ling, whose selection to the team provoked a great deal of contro- versy. Many tennis observers felt the U.S. captain, Ed Turville of St. Petersburg, Fla., had made a mis- take in picking the string-bean Floridian over the more experi- enced Clark Graebner of New York. The Froehling - Tiriac m a t c h, which finished in semi-darkness, was marked by constant bicker- ing and hassles over line calls. Four times Harry Hopman, the old Australian Davis Cup champion serving as referee, was called out of his chair at the sidelines to arbitrate bitter differences, once at match point. Tiriac is a nortorious court vil- lain, hulking always scowling, with a horseshoe mustache and a shock of black, curly hair. He looks like a heavy out of a Holly- wood whodunit movie and plays the part to the hilt.

He hardly made a mistake as he won the two sets with effortless ease. But in the third set, Froehling, who had been missing with his roundhouse forehand and who had been unable to get to the net be- hind his blockbuster service, found the range and proceeded to blow the tiring Tiriac off the court. He unleashed 16 service aces on a clay surface which doesn't lend itself to such untouchable shots, but Wad nine double faults. The fifth set was brought to a stirring climax when Froehling scored a break in the sixth gamg' with a searing forehand passing shot off a Tiriac smash. But Tiriac rebroke in the ninth game and pr ceeded to swap services unti Hopman halted the match. Pae-8 1K0's California SAN FRANCISCO (JP - The Pacific-8 Conference excluded the University of California from 1971 conference football standings yes- terday and any consideration as the league's 1972 Rose Bowl repre- sentative until an appeal of Gal's N9AA probationary status is de- cided. The ruling by the Pacific-8 Con- ference's presidents and chancel- lors was made on a 5-3 vote fol- lowing a telephone conference and came on the eve of the Golden Bears' conference opener at Berke- ley today against Oregon State. In the event of a successful ap- peal of the NCAA probationary status during the season, the pres- idents and chancellors said, results of the Bears conference games will be officially recognized. Pac-8 Executive Director Wiles Hallock said the presidents and chancellors also made a request that the NCAA expedite a decision on further appeal that the Univer- sity of California now is preparing in addition to one already filed. 1 TOM & HARRY'S WATERBED FANS!
