By JIM McFERZON Say "motorcycle" and watch the reaction you get. Looks of disgust? H a t r e d? Outbursts about the oil and the noise in- varibly accompanying the two- wheeled things? A batch of sweaty obscenities about the troublemakers and sub-humans who pilot the objectionable traf- fic hazards? Probably. While Mr. and Mrs. Joe Aver- age have hated the motorcycle for years-fearing that their 12- year-old daughter would be plucked from the sidewalk on her way home from junior high by a simian greaser astrige a gargantuan pig chopper and raped to death-cycle owners and racers fighting for their pride and integrity were judged guilty by a very specious asso- ciation. But now, motorcycles are be- coming popular with everyone, and so are competitive events which feature these machines rumming over every sort of ter- rain imaginable. STUDENT RATES 4cto 2c Econocopy 1217 -. Univ. 761-0087 Considering the near doubling of registered motorcycles in the past two years, it is not sur- prising that the owners of these machines have swelled the ranks of participants and spectators at motorcycle competitions. And most racing bikes are not even registered, so there is no real way of determining the actual increase in racers. Judging from the increase in the number of events, though, and the increasing proficiency of American riders in national and international competition, we are in the middle of Amer- ica's renewed ascendency in motorcycle competition; for the first time since the early years of the century our nation is represented by really top-flight riders. Whatever the reason for the increased popularity of motor- cycle racing, it is nothing but welcome to anyone connected with one of America's most- maligned minorities-the cycle riders who have always suffered the penalties of public mistrust and intolerance. battle1 They have been ostracized, spit upon, made to suffer the most blatant discourtesies mere- ly because there are a very few people Who happen to maintain a different life style which hap- pens to include riding great chromed monsters-the dreaded outlaws of Brando fame. So it may come as a surprise that there are some cyclists who have never ridden a Harley, some cyclists who spend most of their time light years away from suburbia, some cyclists who happen to like riding two- wheeled machines because it is one of the most challenging, freeing adventures they know. Ask any cyclist why he pre- fers to choke in the dirt of a dusty summer road instead of cruise along in an air-condition Detroit grotesquery. Ask the kids why they are beating the hell out of their rattling minibike in the vacant lot, taking that hill at 10 miles per hour and trying to jump 30 feet. Ask any rider cruising along on his big BMW why he doesn't prefer to bust his Corvette way over the 100 mark instead of that ugly bike. Ask outlaw them why they ride cycles and you'll get a million differedt answers, but don't expect to understand their answers until you take your first ride, when you're hooked you'll understand. Like listening to Poco, cycle riding must be tried to be ap- preciated. And as more Americans un- derstand that motorcycles are fun and are beginning to realize that you needn't be indistin- guishable from an oil-soaked gorilla to ride a cycle so is motorcycle racing at last gain- ing respectability. The days of local events con- sisting solely of a few turns around a local dirt track by a group of eccentrics on their English four-strokes are gone. Now there are weekend events across the country, from the cycle center of California to the dismal hills outside Buffalo, New York. Cycle shops, from the snobbish mess of Triumph deal- ers to the understaffed,' over- sold emporiums of Honda deal- ers advertise all manner of com- petition. image The bike owner can pick his event; depending on his ma- chine and inclination he can participate in scrambles, hill climbs, flat track events, moto- cross, poker runs, trials, en- duros, or any number of local specialties. With this type of grass roots program, where a guy with his new Yamaha can decide that he is the new Bengt Aberg and can win that motocross out in Vasser, then meet 100 like- minded fellows that Sunday, you've got a pyramidal structure that makes sure those guys on top deserve it, because there's a million scrapping racers below, the big Iboys who'll move right in. That's what's happening in this country right now. More people are accepting cyclists, more people are riding cycles and more people are racing cycles, which benefits riders, racers, spectators and industry alike. And finally Americans are getting the chance to see the top of the pyramid no matter where they live, because promoters are scheduling events everywhere. * A %!ipJ 5 & ga 4, DEFENDS MOORHEAD: 310 SOUTH STATE ST. Subscribe to The Michigan Daily CA Ii OCTOBER 12,1970 Dierdoi By JIM EPSTEIN "Anybody who booed Moorhead has zero class or was drunk." That was senior tackle Dan Dierdorf's reaction to the home fans booing quarterback Don Moorhead and the offense in the second half of the Texas A&M game, with Mich- igan on the short end of a 10-7 score. "I couldn't believe they booed him," Dierdorf said. "He doesn't have to offer any excuses for the way he played." The fair weath- er attitude of some of the - fans seems to be the only subject that really angers the easy going tackle. Dierdorf, an Ohioan, defended Moorhead verbally in an interview last week, but-he spends most of his time defending him physically on the gridiron. He was an All-Big Ten selection as a junior last sea- son and is currently being prom- inently mentioned as a possible All-American. Dierdorf is alsoa key blocker in the ground game which has been the strong point of Michigan's attack the last two years. T h e off-tackle play has been one of the most successful in the Wol- verines' attack, and Dierdorf has been one of the main reasons for the success of the play. He opens gaping holes in the enemy de- fensive line, and has drawn high praise from Michigan c o a c h For the student body: FLARES, by Levi Farah { Wright STads '~Sebring CHECKMATE State Street at Liberty Bo Schembechler as well as op- posing coaches. He chose Michigan despite pres- sure to attend Ohio State. "Any football player who leaves Ohio is cohsidered a traitor. They even have the coaches of the smaller colleges trying to convince you to go to Ohio State." Dierdorf ultimately chose Mich- igan over OSU because of the dif- ferences in the coaching staff. "You can't compare Bump (El- liott) and Woody (Hayes). Dierdorf does not think that the college football player is being ex- ploited but- he does believe t h a t colleges could do more toward in- suring a quality education for the gridders. "A lot of the freshmen who go here don't graduate after f o u r years. How do they expect a foot- ball player, who spends 45-50 hours a week on football to do it?" He favors the extention of schol- arships to a ninth semester, if necessary, to compensate for the extra time commitment. Dierdorf feels that there would be fewer physical education majors if some system were worked out so the players could be given an extend- ed scholarship. The Big Ten, in Dierdorf's es- timation, is much better than some of the other conferences academically, however. "At some schools," he said, "they spend all week just counting down to Sa- turday." Dierdorf thinks that the open red shirting policy of the Big Eight, Southwestern and South- eastern schools is a big reason for the Big Ten's poor showing against them. "Some of those schools don't have a legitimate sophomore on their squad." Dierdorf does not agree w i t h the redshirt rule in principal and certainly would not want to be red shirtedthimself, but he hardly ex- pects the other conferences to drop their policy. As a three year starter, Dier- dorf has some definite feelings on how to handle pre-game pressure. He, along with most of the other players, use the Saturday morning cartoons to relieve the tension. Dierdorf sees this year as his turn to be one of the leaders on the line, to try to help the young- er players the way he was helped by Jim Mandich his first two years. "It was a real treat to play next to Mandich. He was a great one, he never lost his cool and he was always there to lean on. Now it's my turn to take over." - - - - - ! 1 anchors offensive line -Daily-Sara Krulwich MICHIGAN TACKLE, Dan Dierdorf (72), hits the Arizona de- fensive line hard and fast to open a hole for one of the Wolverine running backs. Dierdorf, a senior, is heralded as one of the finest offensive tackles in the country and is up for All-American honors.

CHAPTER OURTEEN The bartender blew on his inflamed knuckles and watched the battered dwarf slither slowly under the swinging doors. "I've got this thing about dwarfs," mused the burly barkeep., CHAPTER FIFTEEN The barkeep's strange hangup had gone back many years, back even to the days when the West was young. It had begun with his unusual upbringing by a pair of psychotic coyotes and continued to the present. Even now the bartender would whimper whenever some- one accused him of wearing elevator shoes. CHAPTER SIXTEEN The dwarf, lying prone on his little palomino, dropped his Gridde Picks into the mailbox (they would arrive just before the deadline at minight Friday) and rode out of town, thinking that one of those big Cottage Inn pizzas would make him two months good eating when he was out on the range. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN "Bob Crockett on South Forest won last v/eek," he murmured hazily, "surely we dwarves shouldn't always be left short." The little palomino whinnied, as it reared up and laughed.
