Schembechler.
The latter put it bluntly, saying,
"We're not looking to Ohio State.
We don't look to our tenth game
unless we want to go in their with
four losses." Although the first
nine games aren't overly imposing
on paper, Schembechler is not,
taking them lightly.G
The Wildcats of Arizona, open
up the Wolverine schedule hereI
at Ann Arbor, and if one goes
strictly by paper, the score should
be as lopsidede in Michigan's
favor as was the Wolverines 42-14
opening victory over Vanderbilt.
last year.
The Wildcats, who won just,
three games last year, will be"
trying to develop a fine crop of
sophomores.
Their quarterback, Brian Lind-
strom, is a junior, and has been
rated in many polls as one of the'
15 best passers in football.
It's been eight months since the
Wolverines made a trip to thei
West Coast, and in their second
game of the year, they will visit
Seattle to confront the Washing-
ton Huskies for the second straight
year. The score of last year's1
debacle was 45-7 in favor of
Michigan.-

Michigan's conference opener is1
Purdue. The game is being played;
at Lafayette, which could mean
big trouble because the Boiler-
makers have. been virtually in-
vincible there in the last decade.j
WITHOUT Mike Phipps, the
Boilermakers -will be somewhat
weaker on offense. However, new
coach Bob DeMoss, who has de-
veloped quarterbacks like Bob
Griese and Lenny Dawson in the
past, feels he can do it again with
his four sophomore prospects. t
Added to Purdue's problems is
their defense. Four-fifths of the
defensive line and All-American
defensive back Tim Foley have
graduated and DeMoss will have
his work cut out for him finding
suitable replacements.
The next weekend, the Wolver-
ines come home to face arch-
rival Michigan State before an
SRO crowd of 130,000 plus. It al-
ways seems that the relative
strengths of each squad means
very little when they plat.
MSU coach Duffy Daugherty'
feels he has solved his quarter-
backing problems with Mike Ras-
mussen, a junior college transfer.
Last year's quarterback, Bill Trip-
lett, is now a running back, but
he could be moved back if Ras-
mussen doesn't make the grade.
Following the tension and , ex-
citement of the State game there
could very well be a tendency for
a letdown as the Wolverines hostI

THEIR DEFENSE is very solid
with all but two lettermen re-
turning. It was this defense that
held Michigan to just one touch-,
down in the first half of last
year's battle and with the right
breaks they could make times ve'y
difficult for the Wolverines.
In the next three games, the
Wolverines face the weaker but
still potentially troublesome teams'
of the conference - Wisconsin.
Illinois and Iowa.
The Badger offense is consider-
ed one of the best in the confer-
ence. led by quarterback Neil
Graff and Alan Thompson, both
juniors. Graff netted 1086 yards,
and seven TD passes while
Thompson rushed for 907 yards
last season.
The Illini can be expected to
have a strong desire to play a
game after last year's 51-7 humil-
iation.
Illinois has to build from scratch
and head coach Jim Velek will be
doing a good deal of experiment-
ing with his offensive plans, all of
which could help him in future'
years but certainly not this year.
Valek is very high on sophomore
passer Mike Wells. who, will be
doing plenty of passing to John
Bedalow, Tom Mullins and Willie:
Osley.

Will be tough in the confermnce-
With Lawrence gone, Nagel's main
concern is to find a replacement.
The three sophs fighting for the
job are Frank Saunderman, Jeff
Elgin and Kyle Skogman. Any one
of them will have very fine re-
ceivers to throw to, , including
Kerry Readon.
If the defense can come
through, led by linebacker Ike
White, the Hawkeyes will be a
team to watch out for. It is really
doubtful that the Wolverines will
be able to walk all over the Tawk-
eyes as they did last year bya
51-6 score.
After the Iowa game, the Wol-
verines will prepare to meet the
Bucks in Columbus. By then, even
Schembechler will have eyes fo-
cused on the contest.

PALMER FIELD

R uers
By JOEL GREER
'Guess what all you lucky resi-
dents on the hill will be awaken-
ed by on football ,Saturdays?
That's right, championship rugby
is invading Palmer Field with a
doubleheader every, football Sat-
urday beginning at 9 a.m.
The' Michigan Rugby Football;
*Club has finally found :a perman-
ent home. No longer will hill area
students have to make the 1.37
mile walk to Ferry field to see the
"nationally ranked" ruggers in
action.
Rugby, in brief explanation, is
,an offspring of soccer and very,
similar to American football. It
is a very 'simple game to follow;
and, like football, the object of
the game is to move the ball over
the goal line.
The name of the game, as well
as the game itself, originated by
accident in an experiment in Eng-
land in 1823. During a \s o c c e r
game at Rugby School one of the
players (rightfully named Wil-
liam Webb Ellis) carried the ball
and a new variation of soccer was
formed, although nothing result-
ed from the experiment until 1839.
The game was renewed at Cam-
bridge during an intramural soc-
cer game, and called Rugby's
game
An ideal rugby field has maxi-
mum dimensions of 75 yards by
110 yards with 25 yard end zones.
Palmer field is 75 yards by 100
Vyards.
Each team consists of 15 play-
ers. The players are divided into
three units making up the "life
cycle of attack" the "ball get-
ters," the "link and pivot," and
the "penetrators." Play begins
in either a scrummage, a ruck a
line-out, a maul, or a kick-off
which opens each 40 minute half.
There is a five minute half-time
and no time-outs or substitutions.
Like football the kickoff to start
the game must travel ten yards
and then it i$ a "live" ball. A play-
er may advance the ball by run-
ning with it kicking it forward or
passing it backward similar to the
pitch-out or lateral in football.
This is the best way of advancing.
Unlike football blocking is not al-
lowed.
When a tackle is made the ball
getters form a ruck to move the
'ball along the ground -to the "link
and pivot." The scrum-half gets
the attack formed by pitching the
ball b a c k to the "penetrators"
who are also called the "three-
quarters line." A series of pitch-
outs 'and runs are used to gain
yardage.
Scoring is divided into four ar-
eas. A touchdown, called a try, is
