Gridde Pickings 1 By PAT ATKINS "The boat is full," Wolverine grid coach Bo Schembechler said with a cryptic air yesterday after- noon. As Michigan rises higher in the national polls, so rises the national degree of attention. Going into the fifth game of the season, the un- defeated Michigan team has ac- quired more attentive passengers than it ever could have expected otherwise. Whether or not the 'M' boat remains at the present standing room only interest level depends right now on what happens this weekend in Ann Arbor against Michigan State. And no matter how good the statistics look on paper for Michigan, pessimists have only to point to Michigan ,State's 23-12 win over the Wol-' verines last year. "Anything I could say about that game would be a rationaliza- tion," Schembechler says. "People rationalize it by saying that psy- chologically we weren't ready or any other number of things. Mich- * oigan State played better defensive and offensive ball. They just played a good game." IN LAST YEAR'S game, the Spartans used a new offense against M i c h i g a n, one which pounded out impressive yardage by halftime against the Wolver- ines. "We adjusted for it during halftime and then we were all right, but by then they had gain- ed over 250 yards on us. This year we're trying to be ready for any- thing," Schembechler explains. Schembechler does not discount the psychological factors involved and that is born out in the meth- odical defensive machines he has manufactured. "A sudden change in football gets a team down psy- chologically," he notes seriously. Schembechler sets up as an ex- ample a situation where an oppo- nent has put together a long drive -downfield, only to have his de- fense stop them inside the twenty. On the first play after acquiring the ball, the offense fumbles the ball away and forces the well- worked defense to take to the field again. He explains, "Some defenses might think, 'The offense blew it and we have to go out on the field again.' I try to create a defense which thinks, 'They're just inside the 24-yard line. I've only got to go like hell for five plays and hold them, then I'll be able to come out of the game for a rest.' "I think you can coach for that," Schembechler asserts. "It's all mental." THE PURDUE game last Satur- day remains in the conversation primarily as a basis for making observations about the upcoming MSU game. Perhaps the 'M' of- fense has turned the corner, but Schembechler admits only, "I'm not ;sure about Purdue's defense. I think MSU has a better defense than Purdue." Although pleased with the of- fensive improvement, Schembech- ler still sees a 400-yard game as good offensive football. The same backfield as used in the Purdue game will most likely get the chance to attempt to reach that goal against the Spartans. "I'm through moving them around. I have two backfields, that's it," Schembechler comments. The backfields would include Preston Henry and Bill Taylor at tailback, Glenn Doughty and Bill Berutti at wingback, and Lance Scheffler and Fritz Seyferth at fullback. The defense, which has given up an average of only 51/2 points per game, continues to draw Sch- embechler's praise. "They've been good, consistently good," he says; and when pressed further, he quips, "You talk about great only when the season's over." BECAUSE OF the shutout, the entire starting defensive team made the weekly Victors Club. The offense would have been able to claim the same feat had they hit the 30 point mark, but the unit fell a point short with 29 against Purdue. Jim Betts and Don Moor- head were champions of the week. "We're going to have to have' patience and poise again this daily sports NIGHT EDITOR: JERRY CLARKE week," Schembechler says. "It'll probably go down to the fourth period. We'll prepare for this game like anyone would prepare for their biggest game. "Michigan State has played two of the top teams in the country," Schembechler continues, "and has played well against them. They're playing wonderful defensive foot- ball, and -good offensive ball. The offense is big and strikes out pretty well." Schembechler wisely says little else. NO ONE REALIZES better than he the potential of his team to sail undefeated into the Ohio State game. Obviously, there is also the pressure of proving last year was no fluke, pressure that was not there a season ago. But Schem- bechler is no seer, and those who attempt to push him into the prophet's role continually find that he does not budge. Like his style of football, Sch- embechler is becoming defensive and well-guarded. With a full boat the slightest rocking motion can have disastrous results. Schem- bechler is making very sure that if his ship capsizes, it will be from on-the-field blunders, not off-the- field slips. It sounds like a conspiracy. Judge Hoffman, where are you? Gridde Pickings has been victim- ized by a conspiracy of miniscule proportions. For the first time since anyone can remember (and who bothers to remember Gridde Pick- ings winners), we have two winners. A not so improbable coincidence you say, but then consider the facts. The winners are Berni Chong and Joshua Chong, who coinci- dentally enough have been conspiring for some time now in the conjugal bed of matrimonial bliss. The daring darlings submitted two separate entries, and their picks were not the same. However, they each got the same number of games right, and to add woe to our existence, they picked identical scores for the Michigan-Purdue game. But since they are married, and presumably eat together, we are giving them only one pizza. Hurrah for law and order. For the second. week in a row,\ Elizabeth Kohn, the two-year-old prodigee and sweetheart of Delta Chi, came in second. Elizabeth just lets her fingers do the walking, and she beat out all you sages out there in Big 'U' land and all but three members of the sagacious Daily staff. The real losers of the week, however, were the employes of "the University Store, who had the affrontery to challenge the mighty Libels to a football game. They were, in fact, so arrogant that the insensed Libels decided to postpone their contest with the Krasny's goats to teach the fools a lesson. There have been reports, however, that the University Store employees (capitalists that they are) got a glimpse of the latest Libel scrimmage and desire to call off the game out of sheer terror. One glimpse of "Jelly Bean" Neubacher guiding the vaunting Little Red Machine is enough to send even grown men home weeping. In the meantime, however, you amateur prognosticators will have to be content with the lesser teams, so turn in your picks and win that delicious Cottage Inn Pizza. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
