Graduates aid M'freshmen

By JIM EPSTEIN
Newly appointed freshman foot-
ball coach Tirrel Burton will
tackle his duties this year with
the help of eight graduate assis-
tants, seven of whom played var-
sity ball for Michigan.
The graduate assistants, who
have basically the same respon-
sibilities on the freshman team
that the regular assistant coach-
es have on the varsity, are coach-
ing while they finish school.
BURTON, WHO played and
coached at Miami of Ohio, joins
seven other former Miamians on

the football coaching staff. The THE ONLY non-Michigan grad-

If prelseason coach's polls were
infallible, then Toledo would un-
doubtedly reign as champions of
the Mid-American Conference this
fall.
The coach's choice was not a
difficult one: after two unbeaten
championship seasons in the last
three years and a Tangerine Bowl
victory after last season's 11-0
slate, the Rockets are loaded
again. Twenty-seven lettermen are
returning to the club ranked twen-
tieth in the nation by the Asso-
ciated Press last year and which
led the country in total defense.

The offense, which finished
among the nation's top 20 teams
in total offense and scoring in '69
should be even more devastating.
Three-quarters of the starting
backfield are back, including quar-
terback Chuck Ealey, and five
starters up front will also return.
THE ONLY WORRY that tem-
per Coach Lauterbur's optimism
is the possibility of a letdown. But
nothing short of a total collapse
should stop Toledo from regaining
the M.A.C. title.
Bowling Green, which finished
second to the Rockets in '69, isn't
quite as fortunate. Seeking their
16th consecutive winning season,
the Falcons will have to find re-
placements for the five starters,

including both wide receivers, lost
on offense, and six graduated de-
fensive stalwarts.
As a result, B.G. will depend
heavily on sophomores. But M.A.C.
passing leader Vern Wireman is
back, called "one of the finest
passers in the Mid-West" by
Coach Don Nehlen, so the crucial
quarterback slot will be no prob-
lem.
Expected to round out the first
division with Toledo and Bowling
Green is Kent State. Coming off
seasons of 1-9 and 5-5, the Golden
Flashes could continue to improve.
The ground game, led by Don Not-
tingham, is sound, and an excel-
lent crop of sophomores should
bolster the remaining spots.
MIAMI WILL be hoping to add
to its string of twenty-seven non-
losing seasons with twenty-three
lettermen and ten starters return-
ing. Coach Bill Mallory calls- his
'70 squad "solid." Senior quarter-
back Jim Bengala is back after
starting half of last year's games
and establishing six records: The
other half of the Redskins favorite
aerial combination, senior split
end Mike Palija, also returns
along with defensive standout
DickaAdams, who leads the sec-
ondary.
The Bobcats of Ohio University
will have to revamp their passing
game. "Our biggest problem is to
gain better balance on offense
since we've lost the skills of quar-
terback Cleve Bryant and split end
Todd Snyder," bemoans Coach
Bill Hess. Inexperience could be
another problem.
HOPING TO MOVE out of the
M.A.C. basement which t h e y'
shared with Kent State in '69,
Western Michigan will need a'
stronger defense to compliment
their explosive offense. The '69
Bronco squad set the school total
offense record with 3,447 yards,
and sophomore split end Olden'
Wallace, a .9.7 sprinter in track,
should be an added threat.

planning sessions, the graduate
assistants have been given charge
of study table, a relatively new
innovation at Michigan, aimed at
solving ,the age old problem of
how to k'eep the football players
in school.
UNDER THE PLAN, freshmen
are required to attend study table
Sunday through Thursday from
7:15 to 10:00 p.m. The study table
sessions are supervised by the
graduate assistants on' a rotating
basis. In addition, the graduate
assistants hold conferences with
the players discussing results of
tests and helping out where they
can.
This is another place where hav-
ing graduate assistants who at-
tended Michigan can be of some
help. The freshmen are excused
from the sessions if they achieve
a 2.5 or better grade point aver-
age for their first semester.
T HE GRADUATE assistants
were recruited by and played un-
der Athletic Director Bump El-
liott when he held the coaching
job, and so are in a good position
to evaluate the differences in
coaching methods between Elliott
and Schembechler.
Graduate assistant D e n n y
Brown, who led the Wolverines at
quarterback during the 1967 and
1968 seasons, classified both men
as dominant coaches, but saw' a
difference in the manner in Which.
they asserted their 'dominance.
He termed Elliott as a q u i e t
coach, yet one whose dominance
was never questioned, and after
searching quite a while for the
proper adjective, Brown decided
that Schembechler was "more
outgoing."
Another gr a duate assistant,
former standout guard Bob Baum-
gartner, also had observations on
the difference between the coach-
es. Baumgartner remembers El-
liott as giving his assistants a free
rein in their departments, a n d
then stepping into unify the var-
ious contingents into a cohesive
force.
ON THE OTHER HAND, he
sees Schembechler as a m u c h
more active coach, one who is al-
ways out on the field coaching
someone.
Brown also noted a difference
in the role.of the freshman. While
the two major purposes of the
freshman team are still the same,
there have been new duties. Now,
as when he was a freshman, the
major purpose of the freshman
team was to acquaint the new
players with the Michigan style
of football, and to teach them the
plays.
THE SECOND objective was to
help prepare the varsity for their
upcoming games. All the fresh-
men had to lookforward to, ac-
cording to Brown, were the "toilet
bowl" games w i t h the varsity
where the freshmen assume the
role of the next opponent.
Now,showever, the freshman
team has a schedule of their own
to aim for. Brown sees the games
as important added incentive for
the freshmen. This year the fresh-
man team will play a home and
home series with Michigan State
and a game with Notre Dame.
In addition to .Brown, Baum-
gartner and Green, Coach Burton
will be assisted by former Wol-
verines Mike Hankwitz, P au 1
Johnson, Jerry Miklos, T o m
Weinman and Don'Busslow. I

By MORT NOVECK
Coach Bo Schembechler, his as-
sistant coaches and the entire
Michigan football squad are hav-
ing dreams about sunny Arizona
this week and its not because of
the rain in Ann Arbor.
Rather, it is because the Wilde
cats of the' University of Arizona
are deserting their warm homeland
thier warm homeland this Satur-
day to face the Wolverines as
Michigan opens its 91st football
season and Schembechler and
company are still faced with some
question marks.
First among these is the Wild-
cats themselves. This is the first
time Michigan has ever faced
Arizona. In fact, }the Wolverines
have never faced a team from the
Western Athletic Conference be-
fore. Schembechler attended Ari-
zona's spring game and has seen
films of all ten of its .:ontests last
year, but it's not the same as it is
with a tean the Wolverines face
every year.
ANOTHER problem is that the
Michigan defense has been prac-
ticing against the Michigan de-
fense, which is not the same as
the Wildcats'. Arizona utilizes a
pro 4 defense as opposed to the
Wolverine's angle set up. Hope-
fully, however, Michigan will be
able tohmake the adjustment this
week.
.Preparations. for the. Arizona
game began last Sunday, when the
entire squad viewed a film of the
Wildcats in action. After a light
workout yesterday, the team will
go through heavy drills today,

Wednesday and Thursday before
tapering off on Friday.

Gridders eye Arizona-

the Michigan line, is now serving as one of the graduate
assistant coaches for the Wolverine freshmen.

FRESHMEN football players
play an important role in practice
this week as they form the dummy ,
squad which will duplicate Ari-
zona's offensive as well as defen-
sive setups to allow the Wolverine
squad a chance to practice against
them.
Even though the Wildcat's fin-
ished last year with a 3-7' record
Schembechler is not taking the
upcoming contest lightly. "I'm im-
pressed with the talent on the Ari-
zona squad," he stated, "their re-
ceivers are good and their quarter-
back is good."
1Because Ye is .taking the game
seriously, Schembechler is still
concerned about the depth of his
squad. Bruce Elliot; who suffered
a shoulder separation in last Sat-
urday's scrimmage, will definitely
miss the Arizona game.
FRED GRAMBAU, who was ex-
pected to start at defensive tackle, j
suffered a knee injury in the same
workout and it was originally
feared thatkGrambau wouldnmiss
three weeks, but} according to
Schembechler, "there's . no way
that 'Grambau will be out three
weeks. He is not, feeling pain and
he can contract his leg musclesa
real well. We'll take the cast off
on Thursday and see how the leg
is then. I'm optimistic about both
Elliot and Grambau."
With the loss of Elliot, the- de-
fensive backfield has gotten dan-
gerously thin. John Daniels, a
sophomore, is out with a knee in-
jury and is doubtful for Saturday.
Jerry Dutcher has missed a.!week
with a bruised bloodvessel ,and his
status is also uncertain.
The third member of the second
defensive backfield, Bo Rather will
replace Elliot, so -the team will*
be left with only one extra defen-
sive back.
Whileadmitting that, "the big-
gest question mark is, can we play
over injuries because we have no
depth," Schembechler also has
some other querries which can on-
ly be answered on Saturday.
ONE OF THESE concerns Glenn,
Doughty, last year's starting tail-
back. The question with him is
whether he is in condition to play.
Doughty has now apparently re-
covered from his injuries, but may,
not be in good enough shape.t
play 'an entire game. Schembechler
said that, "Doughty passed the test
pretty well last Saturday. He feels
that he can go now but we'll have
to run him real hard this week."
If Doughty doesn't start either
Preston Henry or Lance Scheffler
will. Of Henry, Schembechler re-
cently stated, "He's improved a
lot. He's not too bad now."
Billy Taylor, who will start at
fullback, has yet to prove himself
as a blocker. "Blocking is the
toughest thing for him to learn,"
Schembechler has stated.
