I' Friday, October 29,,1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Hoge Nine Frdy Otbr 9 97 H ICIA DIYPaeNn Shut ou By BOB ANDREWS "We're just not getting it all together," explained Indiana head Coach John Pont in describing his, team's lack of success on the gridiron this season. He adds, "al- though our defense has been fairly con- sistent, either the passing or running at- tack has faltered in each game." Offensive inconsistency is the main rea- son. why according to Pont the Hoosiers will bring a dismal 1-6 record into to- morrow's encounter with the Wolverines. Although the Hoosiers have been shut out by three opponents (Minnesota, Bay- lor and Syracuse) Pont continues to cling to the philosophy that his best bet is to "use the offense best suited to our per- sonnel". It appears very likely then that the Hoosiers will come out throwing against Michigan because last week they threw for 227 yards against Northwestern's bet- ter than average secondary. Leading the Hoosier attack last week was junior quar- terback Ted McNulty who had his finest game. of the year, hitting on 13 of 32 attempts for the 227 .yards. Pont will stick with McNulty this week but has senior Quarterback Greg Brown in reserve should McNulty prove ineffective as he has in the past. Pont will also start the same trio of receivers that caused the Wildcat second- ary headaches: tailback Steve Porter, split end Alan Dick and flanker Charley Byrnes. Byrnes leads the Hoosiers in receptions with 18 for 280 yards. Dick has accounted for all four Indi- plagU ana aerial touchdowns this year and trails Byrnes with 15 receptions for 146 yards. The running game, which also has had its brief moments of glory, is spearheaded, by sophomore fullback Ken St. Pierre, who has been a workhorse for the Hoosiers. In 106 carries, St. Pierre has ground out 420 yards and two touchdowns. After a one game absence because of _ an injury in his 106-yard performance against Wisconsin, tailback Ken Starling, another sophomore, will return to ac- tion. Other members of the running cast are halfback Rick Hoffman, second on the squad in rushing with 162 yards and Porter, who is playing his first year at offense after being a defensive back and safety the past two seasons. Pont feels the most effective way to attack the Michigan defense is to use a wide open offense and hope that the quarterback, receivers and rushers will all coordinate to yield some potency to the scoring punch. The Hoosier defense, according to Pont, ,has played decently all year. However, he adds, that in the last three games, "our. secondary has been hurt by the long pass". This is fairly evident as opponents have scored 35, 27 and 24 points respectively in those games, with much of the yard- age coming through the air. By comparison, this same defense yielded just 25 total points to Kentucky, Baylor and Syracuse earlier in the year. Indiana will use the same defensive alignment against the Wolverines that they have been using all along. They line wayward Indiana Gridde Pickings up in a 4-4-3 formation, with the line- backing considered to be the strongest area. Pont remarked, "The Wolverines can hurt you on the ground with their great backs or in the air if need be, so it is of no use to make any drastic changes in our defense". The fine linebacking corps consists of Bob Spicer, Mike Fulk, Jerry Johnson and Chuck Thompson, with the first three leading the squad in total tackles with 76, 55, and 39, respectively. Pont feels the reason that the second- ary has been as porous as it has lately is the opposing receivers have had greater speed and have been able to get wide open. However, the play of safety Mike Heizman seems to have remained steady as he has made 29 solo tackles, while intercepting 4 passes and breaking up five others. Another possible reason for the fall in the caliber of the defense could be men- tal. As Pont describes it, "with only the run or pass working well each week, the players start soul searching and groping which has affected our morale". He adds, however "although the offense has taken more time than expected to come around, we aren't going to push any panic buttons". Tomorrow, the Hoosiers have an enor- mous task to tackle: confronting the heav- ily favored Wolverines and two things are distinctly possible. First, the defense will be too preoccupied to worry about their groping, and second, Pont may finally find the need to push that button. I Slowly he turned around, eyes glowing crazily in the dark, as he picked up the dagger from the table. Saliva dripping from his open mouth, he stalked his prey, slowly, step by step, closing in and driv- ing it back into a corner, where it huddled in fear, knowing that its time of existence on the planet Earth, was swiftly drawing to a close. A quick flash in the dark and the blade was driven home, another quick flash and then three more in swift succession (slash, cut, hack) and only then with red dotting the isolated table in the otherwise bare room, was his savage hunger sated. After all, a Cottage Inn pizza does satisfy. To test this hypo- thesis, get your correct Gridde Picks in by Friday (midnight) and have a happy Halloween. 1. Indiana at MICHIGAN (pick score) . 2.

To a degree, their predictions on the Wolverines 'chances this year are also opposite in nature. Stager is guardedly optimistic about the Wolverines chances because of the lack of depth in the sprint and distance events. Kimball is confident, due to the - physical strength of the team. Dan Fishburn, a sophomore, is the only experienced dis- tance man Stager has. In the middle-distance events, Michi- gan's hopes are pinned on the experience of Ray McCullough and Tim Norlen. 4 The concern about the sprint events is somewhat ill-founded. Stager can probably rely on Jose Aranha, a transfer student from Brazil who won a silver medal in the 100 meter freestyle in the Pan-American Games in Columbia this summer, Pat Stevens, a freshman who came in 2nd in Michigan in sprints as a senior in high school, could be tough if he adapts well to intercollegiate competition. Stager, however, is thinking of moving him, into the distance events. 4 Despite the graduation of breaststroker Bill Mahony, Michigan is fraught w i t h strength and depth in the stroke events this year. Heading the list in breaststroke is sophomore Stu Isaac, who, according to Stager, "has the potential to be- come a national champion." Senior Mike Whitaker and jun- ior Dave Clark will add wel- come depth and experience in breaststroke competition. The Wolverines are four deep in backstroke, with juniors Don Peterson and Rich Dorney sup- plying the backbone in this event. Freshman Augusto Gonzales and senior Byron MacDonald, both medalists in the Pan- American Games, will provide Stager with awesome power in butterfly this year. In spite of this talent, Stager remains guardedly optimistic as to the Wolverines chances in the Big Ten: "Most college coach- es feel that Indiana has the strongest team in its history; they will not only be the top contender in the Big Ten, but they will also be the top team nationally. I feel that Michi- gan will place second again, al- though Ohio State and Michi- gan State will be pushing us for this spot." Despite losing Dick Rydze, who also won a medal in the. competition at Columbia this summer, Kimball is confident about Michigan's diving talent this year. "Indiana is just an- other diving team. We will be in the thick of it along with Ohio State." Junior Joe Crawford, a sure repeat as an NCAA All-Ameri- can and National AAU finalist will fill the spot left by Rydze adequately in Kimball's eyes. Other talented Wolverine div- ers include sophomore Steve Schenthal, NAAU finalist last ,year, and freshman Dick Quint, who placed 14th in the U.S. in tower diving in 1970. Most of Michigan's divers train during the summer in Florida, paying their own way. Kimball feels that if a team doesn't train year round, then they won't be able to compete adequately with other colleges. The competition will be more than adequate this year, India- na will be a tough contender, along with Ohio State and Michigan State. Wisconsin's new coach Jack Pettinger could pull some surprises on the confer- ence contenders in the role of spoiler this year. Michigan will be defending a dual meet record of 10-1 and 2nd place in the Big Ten, start- ing December 3rd at Minnesota. The Big Ten Relays are on January 8 at Indiana, with Michigan State hosting the Championships on March 2nd to close out the season. The prediction? Take Stager's talented swimmers and Kim- ball's gifted divers, add one part Kimball confidence, sprinkle with Stager reserve, add water, and beware the Wolverines. i late in the second perlo .
