Page Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, November 24,;1970 PaeSiHEMCHGN AL Irish take Cotton bid; Tigers look to Orange By The Associated Press -Associated Press As I was saying . . Speaking at a Miami Beach press conference yesterday, Muhammad Ali criticized the New York area blackout on closed circuit television for his December 7 fight with Argentina's Oscar Bonavena. Ali's fight is scheduled for New York's Madison Square Garden but the former heavyweight champ warned that "If they don't open up these theaters, then we might have another announce- ment." Notre Dame University, in a surprising move Sunday, turn- ed down an invitation to the Orange Bowl and accepted a bid to the Cotton Bowl where they will meet the winner of the Texas-Arkansas game on New Year's Day. The Orange Bowl committee then extended an invitation to Louisiana State, a 3-0 loser to Notre Dame last Saturday, to play in the N e w Year's Day classic IF - they win their last two games against Tulane and Mississippi. If Louisiana State should fail to win their last two contests, the loser of the Tex- as-Arkansas contest will prob- ably get the bid. "It was difficult for our young- sters to make a decision based on what might happen," said Notre Dame's Ara Parseghian, "but they would like to be play- ing for the national champion- ship. That would be ideal." Coach Charlie McClendon of LSU told the Orange Bowl com- mittee: "We want to earn our way into your bowl. After that game with Notre Dame, I don't think we would disappoint any bowl." Fourth-ranked Ohio State got its 20-9 long-awaited revenge over No. 5 Michigan, finishing the regular season as unbeaten Big Ten champs and earning a trip to the Rose Bowl to play Stanford. Coach Woody Hayes called the 1970 Buckeyes "the greatest team we've ever had here."

Before you start reading this column, let's get one thing straight. Ohio State beat Michigan Saturday fair and square. The Wolverines had a couple of bad breaks and made some costly mistakes, but, in the end, they were simply outplayed by the Buckeyes, no strings attached. There was nothing fancy or frilly about the way the Bucks won the game, either. Indeed, as Woody Hayes said after the game, the key second-half play for the Bucks was an off-tackle play used to spring Leo Hayden that they borrowed from a Michigan film. They won the game with the hard, straight-nosed football that has been the Ohio State trademark-a good, stiff defense and a grind-'em-up offense. Okay? I don't know about its culture or its politics or even its night clubs, but when it comes to its football team, Columbus is strictly a bush town. Ohio State fans obviously take great pride in the part they play in the Bucks' famed home-town advantage, but they have nothing to be proud of. They have a good reason to come out and support their team, especially in the last three years, and they have, pacing the NCAA in attendance. The only trouble is, Buckeye fans go way overboard in their zealousness. Two years ago, when the Bucks' super-sophs of '68 were rolling towards the Rose Bowl and sitting on top of both wire service polls, a student got killed in one of their wild post-game celebrations. When they beat Purdue to open the Big Ten season that year, their fans showed their support by going on a rampage through downtown Columbus. When they beat Michigan to win the conference title, the fans overturned cars with Michigan license plates, roughed up some Wolverine fans, and then cut loose on their own city. Early Saturday morning-less than 12 hours before game time-a student was shot in a pre-game celebration. Friday night, a girl was run over on High Street when a horn-honking Chevy tried to get through a drunken, shouting street crowd. The Columbus police, who are proud to be numbered among the Buckeye fans, had a grand time Thursday and Friday night, blocking off streets so the Buckeye supporters could march on City Hall, and blasting their sirens every time somone yelled GO BUCKS. At one point, they even allowed a staggering student to direct traffic on High Street with beer cans in each hand. All this sounds pretty cool until you stop and remember that six months ago students were gassed and beaten for taking to the streets to protest the U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia. These actions might be dismissed as those of a few tiltra- fanatics, except for what happened at the stadium before and during the game. It was great to hear the resounding cheers for Rex Kern, Jack Tatum, Jim Stillwagon, et al, who have given their best for OSU for three years. Less sportsmanlike was the constant and merciless booing of anyone in Michigan colors, and the abuse heaped on the Michigan players as they made their way back to the locker room. The Buckeye fans show a degree of class that is far beneath that of their football team, but the fans are not the only bush thing in town. The people in the Ohio Stadium press box had never seated a woman before Saturday, and they couldn't treat the presence of Daily Executive Sports Editor Pat Atkins grac- onsly. While this reporter and several others from Detroit and Chicago paper wandered about at will, Atkins was told on at least three occasions to take her seat so as to avoid confusion. Kaye Kessler, writing in the morning paper Saturday be- fore the game, saw it, not as a football game, but as a life and death struggle between twe groups of men. Before I went to'Columbus and saw people marching, not for peace or equality but for football; before I saw a girl get run over and heard about a guy getting shot; before I saw a whole town and then a whole state completely caught up in what is still basically a game between two groups of college men, I would have thought Kessler was just searching for a clever angle. Now, I realize that what he said was true, at least in Colum- bus. Somehow, if I had my choice, I would rather be in Ann Arbor, where football means just something, not everything, and where there is still some sense of perspective, even if the home-town advantage doesn't mean quite as much. 4 *e 4 it ton PACIFIC-8 61 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 0 0 0 0 0 S 6 6 6 6 SOUTHWEST 5 0 0 t 52 0 2 4 0 2 4 0 1 5 0 9 8 8 5 4 3 2 0 4' Fiat ma esIt young if you put yourself in his slippers... you'll give him Evans Slippers tkANDS Vanguard Cut from soft glove leather, lined with Acrilan fleece and sporting a foamy cushion sole ... this slipper is truly cozy comfort throughout. $12.00 yoy Cherokee Mule The popular, packable padded sole mule in tan saddle leather with glove lining.
