The other Husker quarter- In clash Troi By MORT NOVECK Unless disaster strikes and a halfback breaks his leg in the shower tomorrow morning or a quarterback electrocutes himself while turning on the tube to watch the Perils of Penelope Pitstop, Bo Schembechler's biggest question will happily not be answered this week. ' That question concerns the Wolverine football squad's ability to play over injuries due to its lack of depth, but unless one of the aforementioned disasters occurs Michigan will go into its season opener tomorrow against Arizona with most of its parts in working order. Some components, however, will be missing. Foremost among these is defensive back Bruce Elliott, who is out with a shoulder separa- tion, and will probably miss more games than tomorrow's opener. Tackle Fred Grambau will also almost certainly be a spectator to- morrow due to his knee injury. His cast will be i'emove.d today to see how his leg is, but it is not ex- pected that he will play. Other squad members, while not as seriously injured as Elliott or Grambau, are in various stages of recovery. Wingback Greg Har-' rison is still suffering from an ankle sprain and will not play. John Daniels is yet afflicted with a knee injury and is doubtful while .. Gridde Piekings daily sports NIGHT EDITOR. ELLIOT LEGOW tackle Jim Coode is closer to re- covery but will also be held out. Jerry Dutcher, who has been ham- pered with a bruised blood vessel in his arm, has practiced all week and hopefully will play. It was feared Wednesday that placekicker Tim Killian had re- injured the back which hampered him last season but his difficulty 'was later diagnosed as only a muscle spasm and he will be at full strength tomorrow. AT THIS POINT Schembechler doesn't seem as worried about the injuries as he had been. He de- scribes the mishaps to Elliott and Grambau as "a couple of injuries that will hurt us," but classifies the rest as "quite a few nagging injuries that are annoying to us right now." He does, however, caution that these "could become critical if we lose anyone during the game." The most vulnerable area is thej defensive backfield, which will be' missing both Elliott and Daniels. Bill Haslett will be available for reserve duty and will be joined bysr Dutcherdif he is ready. Elliott s absence means that Schembechler= will start a sophomore, Bo Rather, on his first string. Rather will be the only soph in the starting line-' up. Don't you just love Cottage Inn Pizza?

Any student wishing to buy tickets should bring their I.D. card and football coupon to the Michigan ticket office at the corner of Hoover and State streets. x n t 0 C C a t d e is f c primarily a group of newcomers to man the defense. The key men in the renovated defense are hold- overs tackle Tody Smith, end Charley Weaver, and linebacker Greg Slough. THE TROJAN DEFENSE was able to hold Alabama to 32 yards total rushing last week, but they gave up 232 yards in the air. The defense will keep a special eye on Nebraska's Joe Orduna this -week- end. Orduna, who missed all of last year with a bad knee is in good form after gaining 52 yards in ten carries last week against Wake Forest. Nebraska alternated their start- ing quarterbacks last year, not because they did not have a good one, but because they had two very back, Van Brownson is out indefi- nitely with a shoulder injury. The Nebraska defense, which was the big questionmark before the season, is still unproven after yielding 12 points to Wake Forest. While they held the Foresters to 84 yards on the ground, the Husk- ers were penetrated constantly through the air. Both coaches are wary of their opposition. Nebraska coach Bob Devaney says that "USC may-be the best team we've ever faced since coming to Nebraska." Mc- Kay calls the Huskers "one of the better teams in the country." Although the Trojans are fa- vored in Saturday's game, the Cornhuskers, with the second best record in college football over the last eight years, are out to test the prognosticators' accuracy. 1.

Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE East NATIONAL LEAGUE PROTEST BYU RACISM WMU students boyc By JIM KEVRA In a move against the alleged- ly racist policies of the Mormon Church, a significant segment of Western Michigan University's student body may boycott tomor- row's football game against Brig-, ham Young University, an affil-' iate of the Mormon Church. The Boycott was called for' by West- en's Associated StudentGovern- ment (made up of the Student Senate and the Student Govern- ment Council) and took the form of a resolution asking all students not to attend the game. Tom Fehniger, head of the Stu- dent Senate at WMU said that, in addition to the boycott, "Most of the black players and some of the white players will be wearing black armbands during the game to show their support (for t h e boycott) ". Last year, fourteen black players from Wyoming were dismissed from the squad after4 wearing black armbands in 'a meeting with the coach to discuss[ the policies of Brigham Young University. Western's sports information director John Beatty, doubts that that type of showdown between the athletic department and the players would occur at Kalama- zoo. "It's just one of those things *here you really don't know about it until it happens", he explain- ed. Brigham Young University has been the target.of numerous de- monstrations in recent years be- cause of the tenets of the Mormon Church which prevents Blacks from being part of the Mormon clergy. Last season,~a number of San Jose State players wore armbands during their game against Brig- ham Young. Two years ago, sev- en black San Jose State gridders refused to participate in the Brig- ham Young game. THE RESOLUTION passed by the student senate read in part: WHEREAS racism is a primary' problem in the c o u n t r y today, 1ott game integrity of Western Michi-i gan University's student gov-k ernment; BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Student Senate endorses a; boycott of this Saturday's football game against Brig- ham Young University. The resolution passed the Stu- dent Senate last week by a wide margin and was also signed by the president of Western's Student Government Council, the other half of the Associated Student Government. Last spring, the WMU athletic! department announced that the football contract with Brigham Young, which expires after this season,' would not be renewed be- cause the basic tenets of Brigham Young University are contrary toE the non-discriminatory policies of Western Michigan University.

The teams met last year in Lin-k coin, with the Trojans winning c 31-21 on their way to a 10-0-1 season and a Rose Bowl victory over Michigan. The Cornhuskers, who crushed Georgia 45-6 in last; year's Sun Bowl, finished the year with a 9-2 record. Both teams started this season off in an impressive manner last~ week, USC trouncing Alabama 42- 21, and Nebraska routing Wake Forest 36-12. In their annihilation of Ala- bama, USC was' led by junior quarterback Jimmy Jones, who di- rected the offense to a ground game that amassed 485 yards rushing. The Trojans passing at-I tack was somewhat less ferocious, with Jones hitting on only 5 of 15} passes for one touchdown.; THE BIG MAN in the Trojan running attack was sophomore sensation Sam Cunningham, who gained 135 yards in 11 carries, for an average of over 12 yards a try. In all, USC boasted six men who gained 50 yards or more against the Alabama defense. Cunningham, who did not start last game and will not start against Nebraska, appears to be the top bench man in the USC backfield. Starting ahead of him are last year's starters, tailback Clarence Davis and fullback Char- lie Evans. Also in the backfield is All-America candidate flanker Bob Chandler, called by some the best player on USC. Aside from the four lettermen returning to the backfield, USC has only 12 other returning letter- men on the entire squad.
