Michigan's football team brought
the Paul Bunyan Trophy home to
Ann Arbor this Saturday by de-
feating ..Michigan State, but cop-
ping the statue means about as
much to coach Bo Schembechler
as winning the New York State
lottery would to Nelson Rocke-
feller. ,
In fact, when informed of his
triumph Schembechler looked sur-
prised and admitted, "I didn't noted, "

"We decided on the switch dur-
ing the Texas A&M game,"'
Schembechler commented, "Taylor
runs much better from tailback
and we need more receiving, so we
decided to switch Doughty to
j wingback."
"Doughty is a good receiver, he
can run from scrimmage, and he
gives us a guy with real speed to
catch passes. He's got his confi-
dence back now and is ready to
go. In addition he's a fine blocker,
which most people don't realize.
If we had to we could move him
back and he'd be a hell of a tail-
back."
MOVING TAYLOR to tailback
has had two benefits. Besides put-
ting Taylor where he belongs, it
leaves room in the lineup for
Fritz Seyferth. "Seyferth has im-
proved," the coach said, "he's run-
ning and blocking well. We made
some changes in the offense when
we brought him in, but we haven't

NEW YORK (P-Ralph Houk,
who led his New York Yankees
out of five years of baseball oblivi-
on this season, was named Amer-
ican League Manager of the Year
by The Associated Press yesterday,
beating out Earl Weaver of the
world champion Baltimore Orioles.
Houk received 118 votes of
sports writers and broadcasters
in a nationwide poll. Weaver, who
guided the power-packed Orioles
to a runaway East Division title
and then to a World Series tri-
umph over, the Cincinnati Reds,
drew 73. Balloting was based on
the regular season.
Bill Rigney, whose West Divi-
sion champion Minnesota Twins
were swept by Baltimore in the
pennant playoffs, was third with
59 and Lefty Phillips of the West's
runnerup California Angels was
fourth with 32.
Dave Bristol of Milwaukee got
three votes and Ted Williams of
,Washington, who won the honor
last year, received two. Five others
got one vote each.
The Yankees made a run at the
Orioles in mid-season and, despite
Baltimore's subsequent runaway,
finished with a rush for the
fourth-best record in the majors
at 93-69.
Houk, the senior manager in
the AL, having piloted the team
to three pennants and two World
Series from 1961-63, was recalled
early in the 1966 season, after two
years as general manager, to re-
build a crumbled empire. The team
finished 10th and last that year.
The slow recovery began in
1967, when the Yanks finished
ninth. They jumped to fifth in
1968. But in 1969, with the league
broken into two six-club divisions,
the Yankees slid back to fifth in
the East.
Undaunted, Houk came back
this year and the Yankees fin-
ished second, 24 games over .500,
although 15 games behind Balti-
more.
The surprising finish was
credited to the maturing of young
players such as Roy White, Bobby
Murcer and rookies Jim Lyttle in
the outfield, Thurmon Munson be-
hind the plate, along with a young
pitching staff behind Stottlemyre
and 20-game winner Fritz Peter-
son.
The earthy 51-year-old Houk, a
three-time decorated Army major
in World War II, still talks with
his Kansas twang, is known for
chewing tobacco or chomping on a
cigar, for his patience and under-
standing, and for his ability to
handle his men.
Houk was readying his sleek
fishing boat for the warm pleas-
ures of a Florida winter when f
the news came by telephone.
Asked how the trade of con-
troversial pitcher Denny McClain
would effect the Eastern Division
race next year, Houk said "It'll
be a hulluva break . . . for De-
troit."
The Tigers swapped McLain to
Washington.,

THE BRAWNY Daily Libel gridiron machine remained unbeaten
for all time Sunday as it rolled to a laughably easy 6-6 victory1
over the University Bookstore.
With cries of "knock the Bookstore bums into the Third World,"
the Libel team took the field and immediately tore into their puny
opponents like bloodthirsty jackals.r
JuJu Neubacher, boyishly-handsome Libel field general, guided1
the potent Daily offense on long drive after long drive, alternating
brutal running plays with passes to the respective sticky fingers of
Father Figure Landsman (on loan from the pitiful Detroit Free Press
squad), Acupulco Gold Greer, Tim Lee Shackelford, and Randy "Cog-
dill" Phillips.
Time and time again the offense drove the Bookstore cretins up
against their own goal, and each time, the merciful Libels would let
the Bookstore hold them on the goal line; for what are the Libels
if they are not good sports?
But finally, the Libels tired of toying with their spastic opponents.
Oil Can Olin picked off an errant Bookstore aerial and galloped un-
molested to paydirt. Glad were the smiles of the multitude which
watched this spectacle when Olin did score!
But, merciful as always, the Libels purposely failed in the try
for two points when Shackelford cannily ran the wrong pattern on a
pass play to set up a Bookstore interception.
And oh, that Libel defense! That mighty rock, that immovable
object; what stout hearts! The Fearsome Freaksome, Jolly Jim Ep-
stein and Jessie McFerzon, shot through the Bookstore line to crunch,
the 5whining quarterback on countless occasions; it was a pitiful post-
game sight, to see the Bookstore quarterback groveling helplessly on1
the turf.j
Eric "The Red" Siegel and Lem Barney Noveck pranced and
danced effortlessly in the defensive backfield, covering the Bookstore
receivers like huge nets and batting down passes like eight-armed:
rubbermen.
But again, mercy was the word. Was the Libel machine to humili-
ate the Bookstore, which services the people so well? Of course not,
for what are the Libels if they are not true revolutionaries? So No-
veck, that darling of the defense, kindly allowed an inept Bookstore
receiver to beat him on a fly pattern. The result was a Bookstore
score, but the Libel defense then foiled the try for two points.C
The defensive effort wasn't as lead.7
strong against State as it was in th
against the squad's first four op- Th
ponents, but Schembechler isn't openi
worried. "The defense will bounce snap
back," he states confidently. skins'
