By JIM EPSTEIN
Questing after their first Big
Ten championship since 1936,
the Wildcats of Northwestern
are determined to show the foot-
ball world that their 1970 per-
formance was not a fluke. If
their impossible dream' is to
come true, two gaps left by grad-
uation must be filled.
The most apparent hole in the
Northwestern attack is in the
offensive line. The front five was
credited with much of the suc-
cess (6-1 league, 6-4 overall)
that the Wildcats enjoyed last
,season, but to a man the hearties
have departed shady Evanston.
The five, tackles John Rod-
man and Jon Hittman, guards
Mike Sikich and John Hoerster
and center Joe Zigulich, all log-
ged in excess{ of 285 playing
minutes during the 1970 season,
which left little time for their
replacements to get playing ex-
perience. Three of the Wildcat
linemen, Rodman, Sikich and
Zigulich, received All-Big Ten
recognition, which increases the
pressure which has been brought

to bear upon their replace-
ments.
Manning the line this season
will be seniors Paul Gary and
Tom McCreight, juniors Dave
Dybas and Dave Glantz and
sophomore Donnie Haynes, of
whom only McCreight and Gary
have seen any playing time to
speak of, and in McCreight's
case, the experience was ex-
clusively at tight end.
The Wildcats have also lost
the services of All-America full-
back Mike Adamle, who anni-
hilated all of the Northwestern
rushing records in his three year
career. In 1970 Adamle netted
1255 yards in just over 300 at-
tempts for an average of 4.1
yards per carry, and crossed the
goal line 10 times to lead the
purple and white in scoring.
Stepping in for the Kansas City
Chief rookie will be senior Randy
Anderson who saw about 75 min-,
utes of playing time last fall.
Anderson carried the ball only
five times, and was used pri-
marily as another blocker in
short yardage situations.

)Oift
Back at the halfback spot is
senior Al Robinson, Adamle's
running mate in the backfield
last year. Robinson gained 556
yards in the last campaign, but
managed a meager 3.1 per carry.
There are widespread doubts
concerning Robinson's effective-
ness this season when he will be
forced to operate behind a line
that will treat him far less deli-
cately than he became accustom-
ed to last season.
Anchoring the offense for the
Wildcats will be senior quarter-
back Maurie Daigneau, who will
be counted on as much for his
leadership as his passing and
ball handling skills. He will have
to provide the steady hand of
control for this inexperienced
crew.
While Daigneau hit on only
88 of 204 passes over the 1970
season, he showed flashes of
brilliance in certain key situa-
tions. Daigneau will get some

ror

Bl0

-I

help in the passing department
from a trio of sticky fingered
receivers headed by flanker
Barry Pearson.
Daigneau connected with Pear-
son for a conference leading 28
receptions in the seven Big Ten
games, which Pearson made
good for 508 yards. Pearson also
carried an 8.4 average on punt
returns, placing him among the
conference leaders.
Returning to the split end post
will be junior Jim Lash who
prdduced an 18.1 average gain
from 16 catches. Filling the tight
end position is Steve Craig, who
retains sophomore status after
being injured in the season's
opener against Notre Dame in
1970.
Craig's pre-season showing was
the motivating force in switch-
ing McCreight from the tight
end spot he held last year to
right guard.
The defensvie outlook is much

more pleasing to coach Alex
Agase, last year's Coach of the
Year. The Wildcats return eight
starters to what was statistically
the best defense in the Big Ten
for 1970.
The three vacancies in the de-
fense are distributed equally with
one new man starting in each
defensive layer. The front four
will consist of holdovers Wil
Hemby, Pat Kershaw and Jim
Anderson and senior letterman
George Keporos, filling in for the
graduated Jerry Combs.
Two outstanding linebackers,
John Voorhees and Jack Derning
join sophomore Mike Varty as
the second layer of the North-
western defensive squad.
Varty is starting tomorrow in
place of senior Mike Morkin, an
experienced veteran who is side-
lined with a shoulder separa-
tion, and the right side lineback-
ing spot may prove to be the
weak spot of the Northwestern
defense.

'rown
The deep backs are free safety
and co-captain Eric Hutchinson
(six interceptions in 1970), strong
safety Mike Coughlin, corner-
backs Jack Dustin (four inter-
ceptions last year) and Jerry
Brown.
Brown, a senior recently con-
verted from split end, is the only
new member of the secondary,
which allowed only 31.9 per cent
of the attempted passes to be
completed against them. The
Wildcat secondary was easily Lhe
best in the Big Ten and should
prove as vexing this year.
As all Northwestern teams are
doomed to be, this squad lacks
depth, and while they seem to be
well manned on the first team,
an injury at any position can
prove crippling to their title
hopes. The offense appears to
be the most vulnerable in this
respect and Agase can just hope
that tape will be enough to hold
the Wildcats together this fall.

By SANDI GENIS
Winning has become some-
thing of a habit for the Wol-
verines since Bo Schembechler
and his Miami mob migrated to
Michigan two seasons ago. With
the union of Michigan and
Miami brainpower behind their
brawn, the Wolverine gridders
have rolled to a 17-4-0 mark in
two' years under the new Mich-
igan mentors.
Mastermind of the two very
successful seasons, head coach
Schembechler left the "cradle of
coaches" for Michigan sporting
most impressive credentials. In
six years as the Miami of Ohio
head coach the personable Sch-
embechler, who has n e v e r
coached a team to a losing sea-
son, led his team to two MAC
championships and an outsand-
ing 40-17-3 overall mark, before
making the trip to Ann Arbor.
A former Miami tackle under
George Blackburn and Woody
Hayes, Bo did a bit of traveling
around before settling at Miami.
After a stint in the Army he
served as line coach at Presby-
terian College, Bowling Green,
Northwestern, where he assisted
Ara Parsegian, another former
Miami mentor, and finally Ohio
State under Woody Hayes for
five years before returning to
Miami as head coach.
In making the switch to Mich-
igan in 1969 Bo was not alone,
however. Indeed, it must have
seemed to him that he had
never left home, for Bo brought
along six of his Miami assistants
to fill out his coaching staff.
Defensive coordinator Jim
Young leads the Miami contin-
gent. Young joined the Schem-
bechler ranks in 1964 after
serving as football and wrestl-
ing coach at both Findlay Col-
lege and Bowling Green Univer-
sity and head football coach at
T~ia Caxinop-iahS rhnnl

Miami in 1967. Anothe Bowling
Green graduate, Smithf attended
West Point before transferring
to play two-way end at BGSU
and co-captain the 1961 team.
Originally he came to Michigan
with Bo to serve as freshman
coordinator.
Defensive backfield c o a c h
Dick Hunter was Miami's star
quarterback in the mid 1950's,
gaining all-conference honors
and setting a school punting
record.
A former halfback at Miami
and a teammate of Hunter un-
der Ara Parsegian, offensive line
coach Jerry Hanlon returned to
Miami in 1966.
Following graduation Hanlon
coached at five schools before
joining Bo, coaching at Taylor
High, Canton Catholic, serving
also as basketball coach there,
Youngstown Ursuline, Cleve-
land St. Edwards and finally at
the University of Dayton.
S t ill another Schembechler
recruit to his coaching ranks, is
offensive backfield coach Chuck
Stobart. A former quarterback
at Ohio University for three

years, he joined the collegiate
ranks, after several years coach-
ing high school, first at Mar-
shall University and then Cin-
cinnati before moving to Miami
and then Michigan.
The final member of the
Schembechler caravan, defensive
end coach Gary Moeller, like
Schembechler has never been
affiliated with a losing grid
team.
An Ohio S t a t e graduate,
where he played center and line-
backer on Woody Hayes' Big
Ten championship team in 1961
and captained the squad in the
following year, Moeller played
professional football with the
Grand Rapids Blazers upon
graduation while teaching at
Union High. He joined Bo in
1967 after only one other coach-
ing job at Bellefontaine High
School.
The only other two members
of Bo's coaching squad, Frank
Maloney and George Mans are
both former Michigan players
and coaches of long standing.
Maloney, who handles the de-
fensive lines, played for "Bump"

Elliott as a guard and lineback-
er in the early 60's, earning the
Fielding Yost Award for scholar-
ship and athletics his senior
year. He returned to work un-
der Elliott in 1968 after coach-
ing Chicago's Mount Carmel
High School to numerous titles,
earning two area coach of the
year awards.
Mans, the offensive end coach,
in his sixth season with the
Wolverines, was team captain
on the same team with Maloney
in 1961, where he played both
offensive and defensive end. A
former coach at both Michigan
Tech and Eastern Michigan
University, he returned to Mich-
igan to rejoin Elliot in 1966.
Even with the freshman the
Miami influence is exerted as
Baby Blue coach Tirrel Burton
is yet another former Miami
mentor. A former teammate of
both Hamlon and Hunter, Bur-
ton averaged 8.8 yards as a run-
ning back during his career at
Miami, earning all-conference
honors. Also a track man, the
freshman coach reached the 120
hurdle' finals in the 1955 NCAAs.
