ELEVENTH GAME:
Page-

By RANDY PHILLIPS
Faithful Michigan football fans
may be tickled pink by the new
eleven game schedule, but Wol-
verine Coach Bo Schembechler
only gains the pressure of. one
more team aiming at his favor-
ed Big Ten squad.
Fans won't be filing into Mich-
igan Stadium for another week
and a day for the first of seven
home battles, but fate, or per-
haps just the Michigan schedule
makers, has provided the Wol-
verines tomorrow with what
might prove to be the most im-
portant 'conference game of the
year.
Northwestern poses as the for-
-midable foe in tomorrow's duel,
and many forecasters rate the
Wildcats as second only to the
Wolverines in the Big Ten.
A tough experienced defense
and the strong passing combina-
tion of Maurie Daigneau to
flanker Barry Pearson have bol-
stered the Wildcats' hopes for an
early, season upset of Michigan
that could lead to Northwestern's
first Big Ten crown since 1936.
The conference as a whole is
much more balanced than last
year when Ohio State, Michigan,
more
and a surprising Northwestern
squad dominated play. Michigan
State should have a much more
consistent team if it can avoid
an injury list like last season's.
The Spartans return with a
solid offensive backfield featur-
ing quarterback Mike Rasmus-
sen and tailback Eric Allen. Al-
len is an exciting speedster who
scored 10 touchdowns last year
and scooted for 811 yards rush-
ing. He also averaged over 20
yards per kick-off return.
Rasmussen t o o k over for
George Mihaiu after the third
game last year when Mihaiu in-
jured his knee and proceeded to
break three Spartan records:
passes attempted, passes com-
pleted, and yardage gained pass-
ing.
The S p a r t a n s regain three
tackles from the injured of jast
season including Ron Curl, All-
Big Ten in 1969. Add giant safe-
tyman Brad Van Pelt and the
Spartans come up with a very
stingy defense. The big question
mark for Duffy Daugherty's
squad will be the offensive line
where wholesale switches and
replacements will be made. By
the mid-season clash with Mich-

NIGHT EDITORS: Bill Alterman and Elliot Legow
igan, the Spartans hope to have
their line problems worked out.
This year the Wolverines have
to travel to East Lansing, and
all good followers of the Maize
and Blue remember what hap-
pened last time Michigan in-
vaded Spartan stadium favored
-a 23-12 upset.
Despite losing a team and a
half to graduation, one feels
awfully hesitant to discount
Ohio State and its ageless won-
der of a coach, Woody Hayes.
The Bucks lost 15 starters in-
cluding five All-Americans, but
Hayes has several highly talent-
ed players returning and an-
other fine crop of sophomores.
Center Tom DeLeone provides
an anchor for another big line
to open gaping holes for run-
ners Rick Galbos and John
Bledsoe. Galbos averaged 6.3
yards per carry last season in 30
attempts and was used quite
freely in last year's Rose Bowl.
Bledsoe was very impressive in
spring drills as he broke away
for many long gainers.
The Buckeyes have great
depth at wide receiver, and
should be able to offset the loss
of Jan White at tight end with
either sophomore Fred Pagac or
Merv Teague. Dick Wakefield
will probably head the list of
split ends when the Buckeyes
take the field for the first time.
Wakefield has great speed as he
placed second in the Big Ten
last year in 100 yard dash.
Linebacker Stan White and
defensive back Harry Howard
will lead another tough defen-
sive eleven for OSU. Regulars
from a year ago fill the two
tackle positions and one end.
Purdue and Wisconsin have a
chance at the Big Ten title, but
need to test their offensive and
defensive 1i n e s, respectively.
Purdue has halfback Otis Arm-
strong, but an inconsistent pass-
ing attack to balance his fine
running, and Wisconsin returns
an improved offense with Rufus
Furguson darting through op-
posing defenses. The Badgers
are the only Big Ten team to
evade Michigan's schedule.
Rookie coaches at Illinois and
Iowa will try to rebuild falter-
ing football programs. The Il-
lini have an extremely young
squad with only 10 seniors in
the top 44. Iowa is also rebuild-
ing.
Bob Blackman, the new Illi-
nois coach, has instilled a new
optimistic attitude, but is real-
istic in his outlook for the sea-
son. "We could have one of the
toughest schedules in the na-
tion. We could have a good
football team and a mediocre
record."
The tough schedule is real, as
the Illini play Michigan, USC,
and North Carolina in the first
half of the season.
Iowa comes off a 3-6-1 record
and needs vast improvement on
defense if it is to play respect-
ably. Only three starters return
on each of the offensive and
defensive s q u a d s, so coach
Frank Lauterbur will be hard
pressed to build a competitive
team.
Minnesota had the Big Ten's
total offense leader last year in
quarterback Craig Curry, but
the Gophers defense was pretty
leaky. The offense should be
equally good this season with
Curry returning along with a
punishing fullback Ernie Cook.
But the defense this year could
be even worse. Eight starters are
missing from last season's eleven
which gave up 3903 yards and
237 points.
Indiana should be somewhat
improved over its 1-9 showing
last season as coach Johnny
Pont will shift numerous play-
ers around on offense to gain a
little more life. The Hoosiers
are strong at linebacker and in
the secondary and have two
very quick defensive tackles.
Although Michigan is the
probable frontrunner in the con-
ference this season, it is not a
very safe favorite; at least
three other teams could pull off
an upset, and Northwestern will
get first crack.
The non-conference games
may be 'unimportant' as far as
the Big Ten race is concerned,
but all of them count when the
votes are being cast for the na-
tion's top ten. This season's trio
-Daily-sara Krulwich
Mike Taylor (35) flies through the air
of non-conference teams are
UCLA, Virginia, and Navy, and
all three games are at home.
Pepper Rodgers has taken
over the reins at UCLA, and
the Bruins should continue on
their winning ways.cThe Bruins
are ranked high in the pre-sea-
son polls and have veteran lines
to live up to their ranking. Gone
is Dennis Dummit at quarter-
back, but a junior college trans-
fer, Mike Flores, is expected to
fill in satisfactorily.
The Bruins may not have to
pass very much, since they have
h i g h 1 y acclaimed sophomore
James McAlister at fullback and
three returning lettermen to
assist him.
The Bruins are sandwiched
in between two weaker squads,
Virginia and Navy. Virginia
tackles the Midshipmen in their
first outing so Michigan fans
will know which of the two is
weaker when the Middies and
Cavaliers come to Ann Arbor.
Virginia also has a new head
coach to make three rookie
mentors that the Wolverines will
be facing this season. Don Law-
rence will have a tough time
equalling last season's record of
5-6 with seven defensive start-
ers graduated. However, All-
America candidate Andy Self-
ridge will provide a pillar of
strength at his defensive tackle
spot, and the linebacking corps
is experienced.
The Cavaliers will have their
starting backfield back intact.
Calling the signals will be soph
Harrison Davis, and most of the
rushing will be done by tailback
Jimmy Lacey. Davis won the
starting nod from last year's
starter Bill Troup.
Navy is trying to pull itself
out of a tailspin which included
seasons of 1-9 and 2-9 records
the last two years. This season
should see an improved defense
with All - America candidates
Chuck Voith at linebacker and
Glen Nardi at defensive tackle.
But a muddled quarterback
picture and an extremely tough
schedule will make it very dif-
ficult for the Middies to improve
their record. The graduation of
Mike McNallen and the depar-
ture of top replacement candi-
date Ade Dillon will slow down
an offense that was unimpres-
sive at best last season,
And after playing Michigan,
Notre Dame, Penn State, Syra-
cuse, and Georgia Tech, Navy
will need a good bit of luck to
stay healthy for the annual con-
frontation with Army-one, of
few games they have a good
chance of winning.
Who knows, Nov. 20 may have
103,000 plus squeezed into Mich-
igan Stadium to watch the un-
defeated Wolverines take re-
venge against the Buckeyes. But
if so, the road there may be
more difficult and longer than
in 1970.

Parties are fun!
Booze is certainly fun!
Sex-is extraordinarily fun!
But the sports staff, we mod-
estly claim, is the most fun of
all.
With the sports staff, you get
parties. And with the sports
staff, you get booze-that is, if
you're 21, or if you're not. And
sex-well, this is a family news-
paper. Besides, with the excite-
ment of a new football season
starting, who has the time.
And why not share in the
gridiron hoopla by joining those
titans of the typewriter, the
Daily sports staffers, in their
quest to bring truth, justice and
Wolverine supremacy to the Big
Ten.
Even as you read this, sports
staff members are zooming their
c Shacks with Rentzel
expense accounted ways to
Evanston, there to record for
posterity and garbage wrappers
the mayhem committed by Bo's
boys.
Don't be left out next time.
Just walk into the Daily office
at 420 Maynard and if you
appear half-way sane or less
you will qualify. Not that you'll \
get to go out of town next week
to see Michigan play. After all,
next week is a home game.
The stories can be fairly in-
teresting. For instance, this year
freshman will cover the lacrosse
and rugby squads.
That can be a tougher task
than you think. Last year, the
rugby team tried to steal a
Toronto fire engine.
Like we said, booze is cer-
tainly fun.
