Doughty
hungers
for
By BOB 'McGINN
The greatest concern of a foot-
ball player is securing victory for
the team. But buried deep down
under that helmet and shoulder
pads is an individual who has his
own feelings. Recognition and
glory for individual accomplish- I
ments are also important to a
football player.
In the fall of 1969 a young
Michigan tailback performed bril-
liantly during the early games.
Many fans saw him in another
Ron Johnson. His name was Glenn I
Doughty. Two years later, that
same young tailback is in the
Wolverine backfield blocking at
wingback. His role has changed
drastically and, truthfully, he
doesn't like it.
Speaking v e r y thoughtfully,
Doughty says, "I just don't like
my role at all this year. Coach
needs a blocker in the backfield,
and I'm it. I love to win, and so
far we've been very successful.
The team is just great. But do you
realize that I haven't even scored
a touchdown yet? I always give
100 per cent, but touchdowns ! and Detroit area recruiter Bob1
mean money to me in the sense
that I'll be drafted sooner."
Doughty gained over 700 yards
his sophomore season and close
to 300 yards last season. This year
he has 60 yards in 18 carries.
"This season just isn't as excit-
ing as it could be," continue.
Doughty. "I wanted my senior
year to be my best. Blocking isn't
what I was hoping to do. I set
some personal goals for myself
before the season started, but now
I've thrown them out. I'm just
not involved as a scorer."
When asked about his greatest
thrill after four years of Michi-
gan football, Doughty said, "Per-
sonally, I'm still waiting for it."
His outstanding team accom-
plishment was, not surprisingly,
the 1969 upset of Ohio State.
Doughty considers this season
Royal. His second choice was
Michigan State. "I'm sure glad I
didn't go there," he now says.
Calling last Saturday's inter-
state win over the Spartans the
team's best performance to date,
Doughty admitted that he was
"much more fired-up for this
game than the others. They had
done a lot of woofing during the
week, and it developed into a
grudge affair."
Although the score was rela-
tively close, Doughty feels that
Michigan was much the super-
ior team, saying "I was surprised
at our rushing strength. Those two
new tackles, Jim Coode and Jim
Brandstatter, have really stepped
in. Our line was just killing them.
(Ron) Curl and (Ron) Joseph
were on their backs all afternoon."
Gridde Pickings
Frankie Musanti ran a comb through his greasy, jet-black hair
and checked out his image in the mirror. Not even Porter Wagoner
can match my pompadour, chuckled Frankie.
Only seventeen years old, Frankie was already known in his
neighborhood as one bad boy. Starting at age ten he had been pulled
off the streets for every minor offense in the book, and the coppers
knew that Frankie's next miscue would land him in the Big House
for an extended vacation. Frankie knew this and didn't give a damn.
"Man, I don't give a damn," snorted Frankie as he read the pre-
ceding graph. "Those coppers can twitch me with cattle prods and
beat me bloody, but they'll never take the BAADDNESS out of me!"
Frankie smoothed his kookle side-burns and swaggered out of
the house into the street, where three of his pals greeted him. All wore
black leather jackets, studded with silver stars and mblazoned on the
back with the' words "Mama Tried."
"Skin me daddy-o," grunted one of the boys to Frankie. They
palmed each other and strutted around badly.
"Man, what's doin' today?" asked Frankie as he playfully knocked
his buddy's teeth down his throat.
"Shi' man, let go down to 420 Maynard and hand in our Gridde
Picks," said another boy. "Go to get 'em in by midnight Friday to
cop that pizzerino."
"OK, dudes, let's cut this popstand," said Frankie.

A serious student, Doughty be-
lieves that more and more players
are becoming aware of the sig-
nificance of a degree. "If a guy
plays four years of college foot-
ball, fails to get his degree, and
injures himself in a professional
training camp,- what has he got?"
asks Doughty.
Doughty admits-"that there just
isn't enough time to do the study-
ing I would like to do. All you
can do is to try to stay on top of
a subject. Once you fall behind,
it's quite difficult to catch up."
He carries 17 credits this semes-
ter.
Doughty is a tremendously ver-
satile athlete who should go high
in next year's professional draft.
He has wanted to play pro foot-
ball since he was very young. Al-
though he realizes the high cali-
ber of football played in the NFL,
he thinks he can make it, saying
"I I work very hard, I'm confident
I'll fit in."
He feels that he will probably
be tried as a split end or defen-
sive back. Last season he was
seventh in the Big Ten in pass
receiving, something he enjoys
doing very much. Doughty leads
the Wolverine receiving corps with
nine catches,but Michigan's air
game has been limited. Doughty
explains, "Our rushing game has
been so successfulhthatgwe just
haven't had to pass."
Doughty's favorite performer
in the NFL is vicious linebacker
Dick Butkus. "I've gothis picture
hanging right in front of my
desk," he says. "If I had his size
and strength I'd play just like
him."
Looking ahead to the remain-
der of the schedule, Doughty says,
"Nobody in the Big Ten is as
talented as we are. We could lose,
however, if we ever get caught
laying down."
When asked about a possible
trip to the Rose Bowl, Doughty
paused, broke into a grin and
said, "I included that on our
schedule from the start of the
year."

To some coaches the mark of a
great football team is its ability
to score just enough points to
win game after game. If this is
true, Coach Schembechler's Wol-
verines after its first five games
are far too superior a football
team to be called just plain
"great."
Michigan's offensive unit, cur-
rently ranked fifth in the nation
and first in the Big Ten in point
production has averaged 37 points
a game. The defensive unit, rank-
ed second in the nation and first
in the Big Ten in total defense,
has yielded less than four points
a game to its opponents.
Along with -being stingy w i t h
the points, the Michigan defense
has held its opponents to a scant
165 yards a game, while the of-
fense has averaged better than
377 yards a game.
Currently number one in total
defense having allowed only 137
yards a game is Miami of Ohio.
