Thursday, September 24, 1970 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Thursday, September 24, 1970 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Huskies, Sixkiller hunt victory Cazzie returning to Michigan as world champs meet Pistons j p. By ELLIOT LEGOW Before last Saturday Washing- ton was considered just another soft touch on Michigan's no n- conference football schedule. But after the Huskies demolished Michigan State 42-16 with t h e largest yardage total ever racked up against the Spartan defense, the Wolverines saw a tough op- ponent arise out of an expected patsy. On the basis of a 598 total yard- performance against MSU the Huskies stand as a definite of- fensive threat and a big test for Michigan's tough defense. T h is Saturday's meeting in Seattle should feature plenty of passing from last week's Associated Press back of the week, Husky quarter- back Sonny Sixkiller. BEFORE THE SEASON opened there was plenty of publicity about Sixliller, mostly concerning the fact he is a full blooded Cherokee Indian and the grandson of an Indian chief. Now the talk is about his football ability. Washington Coach Jim Owens wants to withhold his praise of Sixkiller until he has had more work, but he admits, "He had an outstanding day (against MSU). He has enough accuracy and he doesn't - mind running . .. He still has lots to learn, though." Sixkiller hit on 16 of 36 passes against the Spartans and set a Washington team record with 313 yards in total offense. But he is more interested about being on a winning team. "I w a n t to be known as somebody that quar- terbacked a winning team a nd beat the big teams," Sixkiller says. He'll get his first opportunity against a big team this Saturday. Washington's reputation as a loser is going to be a hard one to break. Last year the Huskies only won one of ten games, and were picked for 1 a s t in the Pacific Eight again this season. A CONVINCING VICTORY in the first game of the season will help the Huskies greatly, both in terms of team pride and in respect they will now receive from their opponents. "I was very pleased with the performance last week," Owens noted, "it was our best opening in years. We anticipated that we'd do well but we didn't expect that big a margin." Owens knows h o w important that first win is, "We were com- ing off a tough season and win- ning the opener really helps. It was good to win, but now we've got to come back to reality." REALITY MEANS o p p o s i n g Michigan, a team which the Hus- kies have never beat. In the three meetings between the two schools, the Wolverines h a v e limited Washington to only one touch- down, and that was last year in a 45-7 Michigan rout. In regarding his team's against Michigan Owens chances stresses II (uridde Pickings I Are you tired of reading those idiotic football predictions by peerless prognosticators and fearless forecasters week after week throughout the gridiron season? You know they're wrong before you read the things, don't you? But what can you do? Time was you could do nothing. You were stuck laughing at what those gridiron guessers had to say. Admittedly, there are worse pastimes, but you know you've always felt an inner sense of frustra- tion because you always know you could do better. NOW'S YOUR CHANCE t! Yes indeed, ladies and gentlemen, the time has come when you too can make your name famous in the annals of football forecasters. You, yes you, can become a peerless pigskin prognosticator. Who knows, you might even, be better than Tricky Dick!!, What must you do to merit this vast acclaim?, Mere child's play, good people, mere child's play.

"We have more team speed, more talent, and a better passing attack, but we're a long way from outstanding" DUFFY DOUGHERTY, coach at Michigan State who saw his team flattened by Washington, gives high praise to the Huskies. "We knew they had improved, but we didn't know they had improved as much as they did. They had .in explosive team, g r e a t speed in their receivers, and a good quar- terback in Sixkiller . . . Their defense was quick, mobile, and hostile against us." Sixkiller's speedy receivers are led by sophomore split end Ira Hammons who grabbed bombs of 59 and 37 yards from Sixkiller in the opener. Jim Krieg, a 5-10 jun- ior college transfer, senior Ralph Bayard, and tight end Ace Bulger provide the Huskies with a va- riety of good targets. Complementing Sixkillers' pass- ing will be the running of fullback Bo Cornell and halfbacks Joe Bell and Mark Wheeler. Cornell and Bell, who will probably start againsth ichiganparey"b o t h strong, and good blockers." ac- cording to Owens. "They're not real speed merchants, not as fast as Doughty or Taylor."

The Michigan trio will be counted upon heavily this week, as the de- fense will try to contain Sonny Sixkiller, the Washington quarter- back. By AL SHACKELFORD Cazzie Russell is coming home. An estimated 14,500 fans _ will welcome Russell back to his old hunting-ground tonight at 8 p.m. as he leads the world-champion New York Knicks into' exhibition against the rejuvenated Detroit Pistons. The game will be played, fittingly enough, in Crisler Arena, "The House that Cazzie Built." The Knicks bring one of the finest teams in ,pro basketball his- tory into Crisler Arena tonight. They outclassed the luckless Los Angeles Lakers last spring to take the NBA championship and are a good bet to repeat, despite the ballyhooed Alcindor - Robertson merger at Milwaukee. SOME OF THE horses in the Knick stable are: ' -Willis Reed, the most valuable player in the NBA last year, whose injury in the finals against Los Angeles provided his team with the inspirational impetus which carried them to the title. Reed is an excellent big m a n in every sense of the word, the post around which the Knick attack moves. -Walt Frazier, the best defen- sive g u a r d in the NBA and a steady 20 points-per-game scorer. He humiliated Jerry West in the seventh g a m e of the finals by forcing the crew-cut Laker ace into numerous mistakes and even stealing the ball outright on a few occasions. -Dave DeBusschere, who play- ed at Detroit Austin as a school- boy and later starred at the Uni- versity of Detroit. Dave w a s a steady performer for Detroit foi many years and continues at New York as one of the wards around. DICK BARNETT and Bill Brad- ley round out the Knicks' regular starting five, while potent bench strength is provided by Dave Stallworth, Cazzie, a n d Mike Price, the Knicks number o n e draft choice from Illinois. Traditionally at the other end of the basketball scales from the Knicks are the Detroit Pistons, who have certainly had one of the more laughable pro basketball pasts.' Lately, however, the Pis- tons have had an uncharacteristic run of good luck: former Boston College star Terry Driscoll return- ed from his Italian interlude to sign with Detroit, Jimmy Walker quit screwing around and estab- lished himself as one of the lea- gue's better guards, and Bob Lan- ier inked a Piston pact. THESE THREE map 1 e m e n, along with such steady Pistons as the ubiquitous Dave Bing, Terry' Dischinger and Otto Moore, form the nucleus of a potentially-ex- plosive team. Additional help finest for- should come from such baby Pis- tons as Steve Mix, Harvey Mar- latt from Eastern Michigan, and Johnny Arthurs. Whether or not Detroit ends its losing ways depends in great part on the condition of Lanier's bum knee: it was injured l a s t spring in t h e St. Bonaventure- Tickets are still available for tonight's Piston-Knicks exhi- bition basketball game.

Villanova NCAA Eastern final game and reinjured a while back. Big Bob has been working out with a limp lately, though, and scored 16 points in an intrasquad game Tuesday. Lanier a n d his knee will undoubtedly get quite a workout tonight when the two of them go up against that Atlas of the hardcourt, Willis Reed. E I a converted flanker, can be an ex- plosive runner. THERE ARE many weaknesses on the Washington squad, how- ever. Owens admits, "We've got a lot of them, on offense, defense, and with the kicking game." One of the Huskies main prob- lems m a y be in their offensive line. The line, led by 6-7 center Bruce Jarvis, is very big, but is not quick. Last week against the Spartans, however, Sixkiller was given plenty of time and was only dropped twice. rI U of M Students for HART need your help for a REGISTRATION DRIVE This is the political work that gets votes!
