Friday, September 10, 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILN" I Page Three--Sports ELEVENTH GAME: Page- nte 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- headache for BO SPORTS 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.

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. VARIETY OF SPORTS: Intramurals help k eep students active NEWSPAPERS Friend of the CONSUMERS Need to relieve some frustra- tions?
