Dear Ann Landers: I never thought I'd be writing you. I mean a
these years I've been reading your column I always thought th
people who wrote you were pretty stupid. I-mean every day I'
read your column all the way to where you advertise for you

thing I'd ever read.
Rear Dearer,

and tied one. By so doing they
stretched their unbeaten streak
to 13 games, to tie the school
record.
However, the road for Coach
Dan Boisture and his gridders
was not without its ruts.
Perhaps the greatest setback
came with only two games to
go when the Huron's star
ground gobbler, Larry Ratcliff,
fractured his kneecap in the
fourth play against Northern
Michigan.
Ratcliff was at that time the
nations' second leading runner
with 1188 yards for the first
six games of the season, aver-
aging 7.2 yards per carry and
194.5 yards per game.
Forced to sit out the rest of
'the season, he finished second
overall to Ed Marinaro, Cor-
nell's murderous fullback in the
season stat race.
In the previous season "the
Rat," as he is known to his
teammates, became the first
Huron rusher ever to gain over
a thousand yards, 1,098 for the
season. In his. three seasons,
the Akron, Ohio native rushed
his way into every all-time Hu-
ron record except total plays.
To make matters worse, in the
same game only a few plays lat-
er, Ratcliff replacement Don
Madden sustained a shoulder
separation to place him on the
injured list for the rest of the
season.
But somehow Boisture man-
aged to patch together his-team

team for a 31-3 loss behind a

NEW YORK ;') - The New
York Rangers completed their
second big National Hockey
League trade in two days yester-
day, sending forwards Dave Ba-
lon. Wayne Connelly and Ron
Stewart to the Vancouver Ca-
nucks in exchange for defenseman
Gary Doak and forward Jim
Wiste.
Connelly, a right winger, was
obtained Monday in a seven-
player transaction with the St.
Louis Blues. St. Louis also sent
forwards Gene Carr and Jim
Lorentz to New York and re-

another hundred-plus yard aft-
ernoon from Packrall.
Proving himself to be a run-
ner from the same mold as Rat-
cliff, Packrall rolled up his
third straight hundred-plus per-
formance in the final game of
the season, gaining 125 yards
in 27 carries and pacing the Hu-
rons to a 35-2 rout of South
Dakota State.
Previously, the Hurons had
won over Oshkosh State and
Wisconsin - Milwaukee while
squeezing past the Quantico
Marines, Idaho State and West-
ern Kentucky. The other tie of
the season came against a rough
Eastern Kentucky team and
ended with no points on the
scoreboard for either team.
While the third-string heroics
of the last third of the season
were important, Boisture looks
to the Western Kentucky game
for the real key play of tpe sea-
son. When trailing the Kentucky
team 14-10 Ratcliff scampered
in for a touchdown with a mere
two minutes left on the clock,
only to have the play called
back. Then two plays later, the
Rat drove across the goal line
again to tally the winning
score.
Looking back upon the sea-
son, Boisture points to the
teams dedication and hard
work. "They wanted to go un-
defeated. They wanted to go to
a bowl and they wanted to be
national champs. We just had
to get them to play up to their.
potential," the mentor confides.
"And we had great talent with
guys like Ratcliff and tackles
Bill Durlac and Bennet Edwards
on offense and Safety Darrell
Mossburg and linebacker Dave
Pureifory.
Certainly the Hurons were no
dark horse on the grid scene
having come off a fine 7-2-1
season in 1970 and was in the
running for a bowl offer. In
their final four games they out-
scored their opponents 129-8.
In his pre-season remarks
Boisture felt that his squad this
season "could be my best of all
time". That best included a
1968 squad that was ranked sev-
enth nationally in Boisture's
second year at the helm with an
8-2 record.
Looking just slightly ahead, to
the Pioneer Bowl in Wichita
Falls, Texas on December 11th,
the Hurons will be realizing a
long-cherished dream. While
their opponents have yet to be
named, Boisture stated that he
had little preference as to
whom the Hurons faced.
While reluctant to comment
on his teams projected success
or failure there, in typical
coaching lingo he admitted an
optimistic "but we'll show up".
The prime candidate for the
other bowl berth Louisiana Tech
a team with a 7-2 record thus
far and one game remaining in
regular season play against a
strong Louisiana team that tied
the Hurons at 10-all.
