Tuesday, September 17, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Tuesday, September 17, 1974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven L ittEm By DAVE WIHAK What does Big Ten football, hold in the way of excitement for 1974? In the past few years it has come to mean an Ohio State-Michigan game in the cli- max of the league schedule. However, there may be foot- ball revivals occuring on other Big Ten campuses this year which could add an element of: surprise to the picture. Satur- day's opening action short- circuited some experts' opinions as to how the Big Ten would shape up, and while the season is still very young, there are indications that the "Little Eight" may offer tougher com- petition to the "Big Two." One of the biggest surprises was the 19 points that the vaunted Ohio State defense gave up to the Minnesota Gophers. While Gopher coach Cal Stoll may be building his team around a "never quit" philosophy, there must have been more to the Gopher of- fense than spirit alone. Down 28-3 in the third quarter, an instant replay of last year's 56-7 debacle between these same teams loomed large in the minds of Minnesota mentors. One Min- nesota spokesman had this to say: "When OSU scored that fourth major, we were very doubtful as to whethereornot we could make a game of it. s Eight' looks tougher It really looked that bad. But scoring 10 points a game, so our kids reacted with a great Saturday's game struck many deal of maturity, and the of- people like a bombshell. Assis- fense started moving the ball tant coach Bill Davis explained well in the second half." the Spartan's success against Minnesota did get a couple of the Wildcats: "Charley Baggett, breaks, scoring 16 points in the our quarterback, had a sensa- final period to make things tional afternoon.

Uboys didn't get beat long, and Last year MSU had troublef this was aided in part by a strong pass rush." Wisconsin soundly thrashed Purdue 28-14 in a game which1 both coaches called a comedy of errors. Badger coach John Jar- dine had more to laugh about,' however, as his team capitalized on Purdue miscues. The Badgers opened up a 21-0 lead going into the third quarter, before the Boilermakers could strike back. The main strength behind the Wisconsin victory turned out to be substitute tailback Ron Pol- lard, who played instead of in- jured star Bill Marek. Pollard scored twice in the third quar- ter, and rushed for 72 yards. Next week, Wisconsin begins a very tough schedule. They play Nebraska on regional tele- vision, followed by Colorado, Missouri, Ohio State, and Michi- gan. It may be tough sailing through that stretch. In another Big Ten opener, Illinois shut out Indiana 16-0. The first half was a defensive. battle, featuring a crucial goal line stand by the Illini. Dan Beaver kicked a 41 yard field goal to put the Illinois teamk ahead 3-0 a halftime. In the second half, the Illini! scored twice, on a run by Jim Phillips and a 40 yard pass to Frank Johnson from Jim Ko- patz. Phillips and Kopatz were the keys to victory, and may make Illinois a team to reckon with this year. Indiana, on the other hand, has started off con- ference play where they left off last year. In 1973 the Hoosiers lost all eight conference games. Big Ten [ Standings WLTPF MICHIGAN Ohio State Mich.

Bob Foster hanrs 'em u, ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - World light-heavyweight boxing champ Bob Foster, 34, retired yesterday after 13 successful title defenses, saying he doesn't want to battle the world sanctioning bodies. "It's time to retire, I guess," Foster said. "I still think I can lic kany light-heavyweight in the world, but it's too much of a mental thing to fight the World Boxing Association and the World{ Boxing Council, too." Foster, a sergeant in the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Depart- ment, said boxing "has been a great life for me. I will keep close to the ring. I always will. But I intend to stay in law enforcement work for a long while . ." Foster leaves the ring as the unbeaten chamipon, eclipsing Archie Moore's recor dof 11 successful title defenses.
