Rankings By ELLIOT LEGOW "Being number one is a nice honor, it's the kind of thing that's discussed all over the country. But the polls aren't a guiding factor in our football program; the polls don't bother us.' Thus, Texas football coach Dar- rell Royal attempts to picture himself as unconcerned about the national college football rankings. But can the coach of a team which was ranked number one last year and is fighting for the top spot again this season really take a neutral view of the polls? Not Royal. He is concerned enough about his teams ranking to make allegations of geograph- ical bias and voting prejudice in the workings of t h e Associated Press Top 20 poll. "There's more population in the north and east so there are more votes from there." And, he adds, "votes are prejudiced," for local teams. The result, Royal feels, is that if "any Big Ten team goes unde- feated, they'll outpoll any t our section. The same g Notre Dame." Woody Hayes' Ohio Stat is leading in all the polls n the Longhorns did captur number one ranking last and even received a plaqu President Nixon to attest1 fact. But, true to Royal's as the Longhorns couldn't outl Buckeyes until Michigan off its "upset of the decad vember 22. And, despite a victory i Cotton Bowl o v e r Notre the nation's longest w i n which currently stands at a squad almost identical year's, the Longhorns ha to settle for the runner-u tion in the polls. But ranking second isn't disgrace for the Longhorns hasn't found the going es: rough so far this y e a r against UCLA. In fact, Ro mits, "we lost that game." 1.

"Phillips needed to win one like a total that," Royal said of his junior .

He has had Speyer, a very agile receiver, to grab his tosses and keep the defense looking for the bomb. However, the all-American end broke his arm in last week's game against Oklahoma, and will be lost for the season. Speyrer's loss is certain to hurt the Texas offense but the ground game should still be able to carry the team, at least until the con- frontation with Arkansas. Royal fears Arkansas, because he sees the Hogs as similar to UCLA in several ways. Arkansas relies on passing, and it is the passing of Dennis Dummit of UCLA that almost defeated the Longhorns. The Texas defensive line is very tough and has allowed only 150 yards per game on the ground. Only Oklahoma using the wish- bone-T themselves last week, has been able to run against the Long- horn defense. Thedpass defense is not quite so solid and was riddled by Dummit for 340 yards. Arkansas' Bill Montgomery is another good quar- terback and could give the Texas pass defense more problems. The Uclans also showed that it is possible to defense Texas. They keyed on the running game and managed to hold Phillips to only 35 yards in 23 carries. Until their meeting with Arkan- sas, Texas has no rough competi- tion on tap. So once again the Longhorns' hopes for a SWC championship and the number one ranking depend on their success against the Razorbacks in Austin. And to Darrell Royal who does- n't care about the polls, "it doesn't matter who's there (number one) now, just who's there when the season is over." *1 EmowmMomm" I The Populist Party, Citizens United for the Vote at 18, and the Ann Arbor Area Club of the New Democratic Coalition PLAYS TOUGH Hard work lifts Taylor to to present JACKIE VAUGHN III along with DON KOSTER and MIKE STILLWAGON and a ROCK BAND FRIDAY, October 16 8 P.M.

"I take on a different personal- ity" says Taylor. "When I get out on the field, I've only got one thing on my mind, getting the job done." Taylor has been "doing it" on defense simce he was a prep All- City at Martin Luther King in De- troit, where he was defensive end and offensive tackle. He- played opposite Michigan's agile middle guard, Henry Hill who was then on offensive end. "Football is a tough game" Tay- lor explained. "It takes a tough individual to play it. The person who hits hardest and continues to hit hard will come out on top." Taylor didn't get his chance to start until last year's Michigan State game, but because of his consistently fine play, he has started every game since.

MIKE STILLWAGON is a candidate for Congress from Michigan's Second District, opposed to the war and calling for re-ordered national priorities. there's no telling how good we will be," Mike states. "Ohio State is just like any other team" he says. "But it's hard to beat a team that doesn't make mistakes. Ohio State is not phys- ically overpowering, they're just a precision football team." Although he has played defense in high school and in college, the change from high school to col- lege wasn't all that easy. "Playing defense in college is a lot harder," Mike says. "In high school you could hit, hard, be aggressive and you got by. In-college, the passing game is a lot better and the de- fensive play is more refined." Another problem in college is dissappointed fans. "Booing both- ers you but you learn to get over it. Fans don't know what's going on. If they did they wouldn't boo." Taylor also sees a difference in the coaching. "My high school coach was a total opposite of Coach Schembechler. , Coach Schembechler yells, screams and calls you names, but the only time my high school coach yelled was when you made a big mistake. "Coach Schembechler judges you on talent alone. As long as you produce you play. He's a fine guy, but a hard coach who wants per- fection." When asked about the best players he has faced Mike said, "Mike Phipps of Purdue was a real class quarterback. He could pick you apart if you gave him a chance to." "I never thought about making All-American or All-Big Ten" says Taylor. "Most of that stuff is a bunch of politics. "In t h e pros they look at how you play, not what you made. Look at Lem Barney. Until he came to the pros nobody had ever heard of him." "Our offense was a little behind at the beginning of this but offense is precision timi getting used to playing w guy next to you," says Tay important cog in the fourth ed defense in the nation. the offense has started toI there's no telling just ho' our team can be.

Orr emphasized that Michigan's basketball success "largely de- pends on our start," during which the Blue will battle three of the nation's top teams: Notre Dame, Kentucky and Duke. Most of yesterday's practice was taken up with the mechanics of Picture Day, as all the Wolverine maplemen gritted their teeth and action-posed for the clicking cam- era. Orr named team captain Dan Fife as the only definite starter so far, saying that for the first time in his four years at Michi- 1. KLH 27 KLH' Equipment!

An educated guess as to t h e 1970-71 starting lineup for t h e Wolverines would p u t Fife and Wayne Grabiec in the backcourt, Ken Brady in the pivot, and Hen- ry Wilmore and Rod F o r d up front. Orr calls Wilmore "one of the ten top sophs in the country" and adds, "We're counting heavily on our sophomores this y e a r, and feel they should be ready to go right off the bat." Returning varsity members this year are Fife, Ford, Grabiec, Matt Anderson, Dave Hart, Harry Hay- ward, Tim Nicksic and Rufus Woods. Invited out to practice f r o m last year's tremendous frosh squad were Wilmore, Brady, Ernie John- son, John Lockard, Steve Bazelon, Greg Buss, Greg Lowery, Tim Megge, Larry Rea, Bob Rhodin and Leon Roberts. "We haven't decided anything definite yet about the size of this year's squad," commented Orr. "We have no intentiqn of cutting anyone unless we feel he can't help us at all." The varsity squad has tradition- ally been cut to 12. The fast-break style of basket- ball which Michigan played with (and lost) last year will be dump- ed in favor of a more deliberate style, according to Orr. "We don't plan to run so much," said the Blue mentor. "We won't score so many points, but I know our defense will be a lot better." Michigan fans will s e e their Wolverines use almost every type of defense in the book from "zone press to regular man-to-man. The Wolverines will open this year at home December 1 against powerful Notre Dame, and then hit the road for back-to-back toughies against Kentucky a n d Duke. Then it will be back home again for a relative breather against cross-town rival Eastern Michigan.

So it's'no surprise to find 3w million Volkswagens buzzing around the States. Isn't that odd for a funny-looking car with a funny-sounding name? No. Not when you know how we take care of them and sell them. To begin with, service always came before sales with us. It still does. We've always worked every bit as hard to im- prove VW service as we have to improve the VW itself. So when you bring your VW in for service, drive up to the front door, please. You can sit in our spic-and-span waiting rooms, have a cup of imported coffee and not walk out broken in mind, spirit and checkbook. One big reason for this is that while we always make VWs better and better, we don't always make them differenter and differenter. So those 3 millionVWs have a lot in common: most VW parts still fit most VWs. It is actually easier (and cheaper) to get parts for a Volkswagen than for many domestic cars SALE Children's Costumes on all new costumes J I Built by Garrard for KLH.
