Plan to attend a free Speed Reading demonstration on campus: BELL TOWER HOTEL 300 South Thayer By TIM OBOJSKI I 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 DASCOLA BARBERS 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.

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. NEW IN ANN ARBOR "JUMBO"' STEAK HOAGIE 1139 Broadway 769-3524 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- -Daily-Sara Krulwich BOB.BAUMGARTNER (60), leads the way for Glenn Dougty in last season's game against Missouri. Baumgartner, a standout on the Michigan line, is now serving as one of the graduate assistant coaches for the Wolverine freshmen. WILDCAT INVASION In juries take toll as 4 I t III 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.
