Saturday, October 23; 1971 A-HE MICHIGAN DAILY rage severi Saturday, October 23, 1971 iHE MIU-iIGAN L)AILY Wary Wolverines collide By JIM EPSTEIN In the days when a good set of jugs carried a lot more im- portance, Michigan and Minne- sota began a tradition of award- ing a water jug to the winner of its yearly clash. Actually, the origin of the Lit- tle Brown Jug (LBJ) trophy dates back to 1903 and Fielding Yost's point-a-minute teams. The Wol- verines were playing at Minnesota in a crucial game, which ended in a 6-6 tie. In the chaotic post game ac- tivity, the Michigan equipment men forgot to pack the water jug which was used by the play- ers in those days before Gator- ade and plastic squeeze bottles. Upon reaching Ann Arbor, the mistake was discovered and Yost asked the Gophers to send the jug back. Minnesota's teasing reply was to 'come and get it.' And, when Michigan emerged victorious in the teams' next meeting, they left Minneapolis with the jug in hand. And from that day on, the jug be- came the traditional symbol of victory in the Michigan-Minne- sota clash. At various junctures during the 68 year rivalry, possession of the LBJ was the only point of inter- est in the games, however, no such artificial stimulation will be needed for the teams in today's battle. Michigan, obviously concerned with maintaining its undefeated status, will be out to improve upon last week's performance when, according to coach Bo Schembechler, the Wolverines daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: MIKE OLIN "made more mistakes than in our previous five games." For Minnesota, now 2-1 in Big Ten competition, today's game will either give its conference title hopes a huge boost, or snuff out all reasonable championship asr pirations. The Gophers, blessed with a po- tent offense, plagued by a porous defense, depend on quarterback Craig Curry and fullback Ernie Cook to make their team move. The Michigan - Minnesota game begins at 1:30 and will be carried over radio stations WWJ, 950 AM; WPAG, 1050 AM; WARM, 1600 AM; WUOM 91.7 FM; and WCBN, 650 AM. The success these two senior stal- warts achieve against a Michi- gan defense ranked first national- ly against the rush and second against scoring should serve as an accurate bellwether for the pro- pects of the entire team. Curry, the total offense leader in the Big Ten in 1970, and this year's leader after three confer- ence games is, according to Schembechler, both a "fine passer and option runner." Cook led the Gophers in rushing last season with over 500 yards and, at 224 pounds, isn't shy about running through the middle. Much stronger than the Minne- with sota ground game, however, is its passing attack where Curry's chief targets are Cook, wide re- ceiver Kevin Hamm and tight end Doug Kingsriter. The Gophersf aerial game is probably the fin- est one Michigan will face prior to the Purdue game November 14. The relative measure of success Michigan State enjoyed against the Michigan secondary two weeks ago to be sure hasn't been overlooked by Minnesota coach Murray Warmath, and the Go- phers can be expected to waste little time before going to the air against the Wolverines. If the Michigan secondary has been a little leaky recently, the Minnesota deep backs have been human sieves. A rotating group of non-lettering returnees have staked out the corner positions and the safety spot, while senior Mike Perfetti, who saw just over 100 minutes of action last year, partly as a punter, will play the monster back spot. Perfetti's major claim to fame this year has been putting Purdue quarterback Gary Danielson out of action for two weeks with a jar- ring tackle two weeks ago. The Wolverine passing attack, rela- tively quiescent so far this sea- son, may meet with good success if they choose to challenge the Gophers' secondary. However, if patterns established through the first six games hold, a thorough probing of the Min- nesota rushing defense can be ex- pected before any serious passing begins. Defensive end Curtis Mayfield and his colleagues on the defen- sive line may be ready to sing the blues before Michigan backs Billy Taylor and Ed Shuttles- worth are finished hitting the line with their customary elan. B.T. will be going after Ron Gophers Johnson's alltime Michigan rush- ing record today, needing only 78 yards to go over the top, and, judging from past performance, the Minnesota defense can be ex- pected to be quite obliging. The strong point of the Minne- sota defense is captain Bill Light. Described by Schembechler as "a great linebacker", Light should prove an interesting comparison to Michigan cruncher Mike Tay- lor, often referred to by Schem- bechler as the best linebacker in the nation. Warmath and his squad have no delusions about the task be- fore them. "We know we're play- ing a nationally ranked and na- tionally prominent team this week," said Warmath. "As far as I am concerned, Michigan -is more than equal to any other ranked college team." The Gophers have had exper- ience with highly ranked teams before, losing to top ranked Ne- braska in the second week of the season, and they shouldn't be holding the Wolverines in awe. The game is too important for either team to ease up and the players won't have to think about Jugs to get up for this encounter. -Daily-Rolfe Tessem BILLY TAYLOR (42) sweeps around right end in last week's Michigan victory over Illinois. Apparent- ly recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered against Michigan State, Taylor rushed for 103 yards against the Illini, strengthening his bid for AllAmerican honors. The 35-6 romp was the Wolverines' sixth straight win. IRISH SEEK.REVENGE: Notre By GEORGE HASTINGS It was just last Nov. 28, when the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame last took on the South California Trojans. The Irish were unbeaten, looking for their first national championship since 1966, and ex- pected to blow USC, having one of its poorest seasons in recent years; out of the stadium. But a funny thing happened on the way to the Notre Dame rout-the South. Cal. offense rose' up and overwhelmed the surprised Notre Dame defense and the re- sult was a 38-28 Trojan win, which, eventually was the differ- ence between the number one and two rankings for the Irish. Today the same two teams will go at it- again at South Bend, un- der much the same circumstances. Notre Dame is again unbeaten, ranked sixth in the nation, while USC, laboring under an extreme- ly tough schedule, has disap- pointed preseason prognosticators- by dropping four of their first six contests. Notre Dame coach Ara Parse- ghian -hopes that one factor will make it a different story this year - the Irish defense. Notre Dame is number one in the nation* this year in scoring defense, al- lowing an average of only 3.2 points per game. They've surren- dered only two touchdowns in Dame five games, and have posted shut- outs in each of their last two outings. But Parseghian, who has seen his teams fail to win in their last four meetings with the Trojans, losing two and tying two, must be a bit uneasy over the per- formance of his offense, which has not been impressive in re- cent games. Much of the problem lies with the fact that none of the Irish quarterbacks have been able to es- tablish themselves as a perma- nent starter. Should the Notre Dame offense again fail to get itself untracked, Southern Cal may once more have a chance to play spoiler on the Irish season. Elsewhere around the nation, most of the top - ranked clubs have apparent breathers on their schedules for today. Number one Nebraska meets Oklahoma State, while second-rated Oklahoma will take on Kansas State, in two Bigt Eight contests. Neither game is supposed to be1 much of a contest, but in the bal- anced Big Eight, upsets are notI uncommon. Nebraska in particu- lar must watch out, for Oklahoma State, with a respectable 3-1-1 re- cord, possesses an especially ex- plosive offense. Oklahoma, fresh from beating Southern Cal, Texas, and Colo- rado on successive Saturdays, has hosts I1 been averaging an awesome 517.6 offensive yards per game so far this year, and should have little trouble. Southeast Conference powers Alabama and Auburn, ranked four and five nationally, will continue to warm up for their head-on col- lision next month by facing Hous- ton and Clemson, respectively. Alabama will probably have a tougher time protecting their un- beaten status against Houston, which has lost only once this year, than will Auburn, which should roll over the weak Clem- son squad. The Cougars feature an explo- sive 'attack, but their defense is erratic, so the Tide is favored on the basis of their powerful Wish- bone-T running offense. Mean- while, the Tiger's great quarter- back Pat Sullivan will likely have a field day in Auburn. In an intersectional contest, t Penn State, number eight, will en- tertain Texas Christian. Nittany [SC Lion head coach Joe Paterno's only worry is that his team may have problems adjusting to TCU's Wishbone attack. However, Penn State is still a solid two-touch- down choice. The final three teams in the nation's top ten, Georgia, Arkan- sas, and Stanford, all also have easy times, in a week which should not change the rankings significantly. Georgia takes on Southeast Conference foe Ken- tucky, while Arkansas, coming off a sparkling performance against reeling Texas, is heavily favored against North Texas State. Stanford, which took big strides towards the Rose Bowl the last two Saturdays, ought to be able to relax a little against hapless Washington State. Even Colorado, caught in the frying pan last week against Ok- lahoma, should be able to catch their breath against Missouri be- fore being tossed into the fire next week at Nebraska.

After beating Ohio State 20-5 and Michigan State 22-8, Michi- gan lost a heart breaker to highly rated Indiana. After trailing the Hoosiers the entire game, Paul Fairman sent a shot into the net at 2:56 in the final period to tie the score at 8-8. Indiana came back to score on a penalty shot at 3:37, but Fairman again came forward for Michigan to even the score at 4:08. However, Michigan momentarily let up after a penalty was called against them, and Indiana whipped the ball past goalie Stu Isaac for what proved to be the winning margin. A combination of a tight Indiana defense and a stall allowed the clock to run out on Michigan. The lightning quick Hoosiers pulled out to a 5-2 lead in the first period when they capitalized on quick passes after several errant passes by Michigan. The Blue tankers narrowed the score to 6-4 after the second period, but Indiana scored the only goal of the third period to take a commanding lead into the final quarter. Chris Hansen and Steve McCarthy brought Michigan back into contention before Fairman's heroics notched the score. In the first game, Michigan started their second team against Michigan State. Not getting many chances like this to prove them- Aelves, the "B's" came out fighting, and finally broke the game open in the second period. Freshman John Jamerson led Michigan against State with an outstanding performance which included seven goals. Michigan's starters began the second game for Michigan against Ohio State. Despite the fact that Michigan considered this game just as a tune up for Indiana, they played an excellent game before giving way to the second string. _r s w w s a~ ww sw . . . . . last night to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 124-105 National Basket- ball Association victory over the Buffalo Braves. Smith scored 16 points and grab- bed 12 rebounds, but couldn't stop Jabbar in the first period when the Bucks broke to a 38-20 lead. They led handily thereafter. Jabbar, the former Lew Alcindor, scored 18 of his points in the first quarter to spark the defending NBA champions to their fifth vic- tory without a loss. Buffalo is 1-4. Stackhouse streaks DETROIT - Defenseman Ron Stackhouse payed immediate di- vidends to his new team last night by scoring a goal, setting up two more and playing a fine defensive game in leading the Detroit Red Wings to ap.5-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Stackhouse came to Detroit Thursday night from the California Golden Seals for right wing Tom Webster. Toronto got off to a 1-0 lead on Norm Ullman's tip-in at 1:33 of the first period. Tim Ecclestone tied the score during a first period Detroit power play, Stackhouse assisting.

Atlanta led at halftime 62-57 and also led throughout the third quarter. But with 5:45 into the fourth quarter the Celts pulled ahead 102-99 and pushed their scoring margin wider as the game ended. * * * Bulls brilliant LOS ANGELES-The tenacious Chicago Bulls, behind the timely shooting of Bob Love and Bob Weiss, spoiled the 1971 home de- but of Los Angeles by tripping the Lakers 113-106 last night in Na- tional Basketball Association play. The loss broke the Lakers' four- game winning streak and ruined the home coaching debut of Bill Sharman, former University of Southern California and Boston Celtic star. BALTIMORE (MP) - V e t e r a n guards Earl "The Pearl" MonroeI and Archie Clark walked out on the Baltimore Bullets club last night and were suspended without pay, the National Basketball As- sociation team 'said.I In a lengthy statement compiled just before the Bullets' game withi the New York Knickerbockers, Ex-I ecutive Vice President Jerry Sachs said Monroe, who had issued an ultimatum, was unhappy in Balti- more and was on the trading' bldck.1 Clark,. acquired only this weekJ from Philadelphia, worked outJ with the team Thursday but was suspended after failing to appear' for the game yesterday, said Sachs, expressing embarrassment and chagrin. The public address announcer at the Civic Center told the crowd that ticketholders at the game could redeem their stubs for com- parable tickets for the Nov. 10 game with the Chicago Bulls. In making his announcement, Sachs said: "We are embarrassed and cha- grined by the timing of this an- nouncement just before game time and regret that many fans who came to see these two great stars perform will not be able to see 'them tonight." Sachs went on to relate the cir- cumstances behind the absence of the players: "The club had, in effect, been given an ultimatum by Monroe, through his attorney Larry Fleis- cher, that Monroe would either-be traded or that he wouldn't play in Baltimore. "It was agreed by management that because of Earl's general un- happiness in Baltimore, we would try to accede to his wishes and make a deal. That agreement was made between Mr. Fleischer anc. Mr. Abe Pollin, the club's owner,' In the case of Clark, Sachs re- ported that when the trade was made with Philadelphia Monday, sending guards Kevin Loughery and Fred Carter to the ?6ers, Clark asked for and was granted time off to clear up some personal mat- ters in Philadelphia, which neces- sitated his missing Tuesday's night gamein Boston. He reported to the Bullets on Wednesday and participated in the team's workout Thursday at Ft. Meade, Md. He did not show up for Friday night's game with New York and has been suspended without pay, Sachs said. For the student body: FLARES by.
