Gagnon tallies four in opener as
Michigan mauls Mustangs, 10-3
Blue wary of Purdue spoilers;
Taylor, Coin threaten records
By BILL ALTERMAN
The Wolverines celebrated the
start of their fiftieth hockey season
last night by thoroughly drubbing
Western Ontario 10-3. Led by sen-
ior Bernie Gagnon's four, the dek-
ers played a strong game and just
blew by the Mustangs in the third
period with six goals.
"Any time you score ten goals'
you got to be happy," said an ob-
viously delighted Coach Al Ren-
frew after the game. "They all
played well."
While over on the other side a
disheartened Mustang Coach Ron
Watson took solace in the fact that
Western Ontario stayed with the
Wolverines for almost half the
game, "It was fairly even through
the beginning of the second per-
iod," he felt, "but then some of
our players saw us down by a few
goals and started to do some
stupid things out there."
Indeed Western Ontario held a
2-1 lead half way through the sec-

goal to start the third period was
"the turning point of the game."
'
minutes later freshman Frank
Werner sent the Wolverines into
the lead for good when he knocked
in a short pass from Pat Donnelly,
another freshman.
After that the rout was on and
only the final score was in ques-
tion.
Renfrew was especially pleased
with the play of his freshmen who
contributed five goals. "They play-
ed real well," he stated, "I just
hope they can sustain it."
Particularly impressive Paul-
Andre Paris, a 17-year-old fresh-
man, who, in his first varsity
In addition to Werner, two other
freshmen, Donnelly and Gary Kar-
dos, also lit the light for the Wol-
verines. All three freshmen are
from Detroit, causing a beaming
Renfrew to comment, "Those De-
troit kids played pretty well; they
all scored, and you can't ask for
more than that."
But the partisan Michigan crowd
of 2400 was especially rooting for
Gagnon and the Montreal speed-
ster did not disappoint them. He
brought the crowd to the edge of
ecstasy seven minutes into the
third period when he faked Mus-
tang goalie Nick Mancini complete-
ly off his feet and then shot the
puck smartly into the empty net.
"He gets the goals," Renfrew un-
derstated when it was all over.
Watson admitted he used a lot of
substitutes in the game, including
three different goalies. "But to-
morrow I'm out to win it and I'll
go with the players who I think
can do it."

Even if they lose to Purdue and

Michigan leads the Big Ten in
scoring offense, scoring defense,
total offense, total defense, rushing
offense and rushing defense. The
Wolves also are either leading or
very near the top in the NCAA in
each of those categories.
Michigan Coach Bo Schembech-
ler doesn't take the Boilermakers
lightly, though. He said, "I said
before and I say again, we have
to win all our games if we expect
to win the Big Ten championship.
"They (Purdue) have lost three
games in the final minutes. They
must be snake-bitten because they
have talented people and can play
football with anyone."
Bo may be remembering that
this is the Purdue "Spoilermaker"
team that is noted for either scar-
ing or upsetting the collegiate
giants.
Bob DeMoss, the Purdue head
coach, said, "This team (Purdue)
deserves a better fate than to have
lost five of its eight games in con-
ference."
"It will take as much of a men-
tal effort as physical to ready our-
selves for Michigan," he added.

By RANDY PHILLIPS
It's Billy Taylor slashing through a
gaping hole in the left side of the line;
Taylor breaks into the clear; he's at the
twenty, ten, five, touchdown!
Meanwhile back at the line of scrim-
mage, a strewn array of bodies can be
seen-mostly remnants of an opposing
team's defense left on their backs by the
offensive line's charge.
The inglorious work of the offensive
linemen generally goes unnoticed and
unappreciated by the fans, but Reggie
McKenzie, Michigan's outstanding All-
America candidate at guard, doesn't
think that publicity is the most import-
ant achievement in playing football-
especially on the line.
"Playing on the line, I get a lot of
personal satisfaction. By my going out
there and doing my job, I'm going to
get noticed. They (opposing players)
gain respect for you. If they are getting
beat badly, they'll say somnething to let
you know. That's where personal satis-
faction comes in."
McKenzie considers playing the line
both a' challenge between two people and
a challenge to keep one's own emotions
under control in a very stressing situa-
tion.
"I like to fire ahead-head on block-
ing. He (the opponent) can't get away.
It's a way of finding out who's the bet-
ter man. As Bo (Wolverine coach Bo
Schembechler) would say, It's nose to
nose."
But he added that "you have to keep
your temper and poise because a missed
assignment could lose the ball game."

for an 'easy' game or for plays when
the outcome of the game has been de-
cided. Reggie replied, "you just don't
want to get beat; you feel 'kind of bad'
if he beats you."
He added, "It's survival of the fittest.
You're going to get to him or- he's going
to get to you. I'd rather get to him."
McKenzie points to pride as the rea-
son why Michigan has not had a real
let down this year while compiling a 9-0
record and why the Wolverines will not
be caught looking ahead past Purdue to-
day to Ohio State.
"The pressure has been building, es-
pecially for this game (Purdue). We've
gotten so close (to a perfect season) and
we'd hate to falter. The pressure's on,
but we have a lot of pride. We'll be
ready."
The one-on-one battles on the line of
scrimmage tend to remind one of battles
in the trenches, but when asked if foot-
ball is a dehumanizing game, McKenzie
retorted, "I don't think the game is de-
humanizing. A lot of people like real
highly competitive games. It depends on
the person. It's different strokes for dif-
ferent folks."
Implying that competition itself is
not dehumanizing and that football is
not forced on people, Reggie added, "I
like contact sports. Football is always
going to be a competitive sport . . . you
have to love the game, because you can't
tell me that a guy's going to go out and
suffer bruises without liking the game."
Emphasizing his point further, Reggie
queried, "It's (football) been here for
years and all of a sudden it's dehuman-
izing? Something that is dehumanizing
is war; you're killing people then."
But McKenzie admits there is an im-
tors such as team friendships and edu-
cational advantages.
"The tension factor is not as profound
(at Michigan) as at other schools. There
is a higher rate of graduation here; the
emphasis is more on academics."
One of the major reasons that Reggie
decided to go to Ann Arbor was the aca-
demic record of the school.
McKenzie is now a physical education
major with a minor in history, but he
has not ruled out the possibility of law
schoolr
"I'm still thinking of going to law
school; I'd also like to teach. I also like
politics and knowing what's going on in
the world."
This desire to diversify is not often
associated with football players who are
generally depicted as dumb and muscu-
lar. Reggie feels that a football player
h'as two roles to play, "Reggie the stu-
dent and Reggie the football player."
These roles should be separated to some
degree.
"I always leave what I do down on
South State, on South State. He con-
tinued; "A guy participating in ath-
letics is always .playing two roles. So-
ciety labels a person as a football player."
McKenzie mentioned that this role as
a football player does have its advantages
outside of the playing of the game.
"The only way that petition (home-
coming petition for an anti-war half
time show) got over was the 50 football
players who signed it." If those same 50
had signed it not as football players,
then the effect would have been less.
The second reason that influenced
Reggie to come to Michigan involved
football and interesting enough Michi-
At Highland Park High School, Reggie
wasn't recruited very vigorously, and he
explained this by pointing to the em-
phasis on basketball at Highland Park,
But McKenzie did get a look from sev-
eral schools-one of them being Michi-
gan State. However . . .
"When the Michigan State recruiter
came to my high school he told my
coach that I wasn't a ball player."
That kind of thing hurts, but Reggie
got a better look from Michigan and
the opportunity to prove himself.
"I got a break. Coach Mans (Wol-
verine end coach) came to me and laid
it on the line. He said, We want you to
play ball for us."
That incident with the MSU recruiter
is one reason that now leads Reggie to
say, "I look at the MSU games as be-
ing the big games for me."
Although blocking is often a man to
man affair, it takes timing between
linemen to open up a hole for the backs.
"It (blocking) varies. A lot of times
it's one on one, but sometimes it's double
team blocking; it's me and the tackle,
me and the center, or me and the half-
back. Timing is jdst something you
have to work on."
Blocking takes confidence not only
in one's own ability but also in the ability
of the people next to you on the line.
"(Dan) Dierdorf (graduated All-Amer-
ican tackle) was real strong; they'd try
to isolate him one on one on a guy. I
was more confident with him there."
But with Dierdorf and Jack Harpring
gone at the tackles, the timing had to
be worked out all over again this year.
"Playing against Northwestern, things
were kind of shaky. I knew what (Jim)
Brandstatter could do because I had
single game rushing mark withl
350 yards several weeks ago. Sen-
ior quarterback Mike Rasmussen,
benched early in the season, has
also found new life running the
wishbone.
Spartan coach Duffy Daugher-
ty stated a week ago, "Well; we
should've put in the Wishbone-T
a long time ago." The question is,
why not?
Still, there seems to be some
problem with Michigan State de-
feating Minnesota. MSU hasn't
beaten the Gophers in 14 years.
Such a phenomenon is usually

PHILADELPHIA OP)-The Phila-

straight points early in the fourth
quarter yesterday, breaking open
a,tight game and defeating the De-
troit Pistons 115-101, in a National
Basketball Association game.
The Pistons went in front by as
many as five points before Phila-
delphia rallied to trail only 79-78
entering the last quarter.
After Detroit took an 87-84 lead
with 11:07 to play, the 76ers got
their eight consecutive points to
go ahead 92-87 with 8:24 remaining.
The Pistons never drew closer
than three points the rest of the
way as Billy Cunningham, Fred
Foster and Kevin Loughery did all
of the scoring for the winners in
the last five minutes.
Cunningham had 24 points to .
lead Philadelphia, while Foster
added 23 and Loughery 18.
Bob Lanier led Detroit with 26
points and Jimmy Walker had 25.
