DEVASTATION, DESPAIR and woe haunt Tiger Stadium, like
the cobwebs in the rusting girders and the undernourished
bats sweeping down from the third deck after their share of
Hygrade's Ball Pa-k Franks. Jim Campbell has done what Lee
Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, Sirhan Sirhan and James Earl Ray
failed to do before him: assassinate the Bengals.
Some optimists, the same people who began saving for
Detroit World Series tickets a year ago, seem to think the local
eroes will manage a miraculous turnaround sometime during
e offseason. And you can see their point: if the Houston
tros are willing to give Cesar Cedeno in exchange for Dave
manczyk, and the Baltimore Orioles agree to send over
Palmer, Cuellar, Grimsley, and Brooks Robinson in return for
Aurelio Rodriguez, Detroit may have a shot next year.
However, back in the world of reality, it will be dis-
covered over the winter that the Tigers have few, if any
players that any sane general manager would give up talent
for. The names of Mickey Stanley and Ed Brinkman have
been mentioned as trade bait, which shows the gullibility of
the Detroit sports media.
People -who pick up 33 year old outfielders, such as Stanley
would be, do so for their bats, not their' gloves. As for Brink-
man, not even Bungling Bing Devine of the Cardinals would
give up ability for a .210 hitting shortstop with power, no matter
ow good the man may ;be defensively.:
The rest of the roster is composed of people the Tigers dare
not trade (John Hiller), do not'care to trade(Ron LaFlore) or
people that not even the Mets would accept in trade (Jim
Ray). In fact, there is only one player on the whole roster that
can seriously be considered as a candidate to be shipped else-
where: Aurelio Rodriguez.
Rodriguez arrived in the McLain deal. He was only 22
at the time, had slugged 19 homeruns the previous year
(most of them with California), driven in 83, stole 15 bases,
and played spectacularly in the field.,
Only the glove has held up-and that's why Aurelo is
worth something in trade. A team which has everything 'else
can afford a slick-fielding thirdbaseman who hits .220 consis-
ently, strikes out too much, loafs on the bases, and loses more
what little power he started with each year. Even with these
liabiilties, Rodrigeuz would have been worth at least five games
to Cincinnati this year-and look where that would have put
them!
But most depressing has been the Tigers' absolute inability
to get anything out of the young talent in their system. Maybe
the players have all .the skills. You can't really tell when a guy
like Mary Lane spends six years on the farm, and comes up
.a glaring hitch in his swing, and an absolute incapacity to
understand what's going on whenever he's on base.
As a class, the Tiger rookies don't know the strike zone,
iaven't the faintest idea of how to get the jump on a pitcher,
and seem impervious to the niceties of how to retire a batter.
Trepichers, in particular, have a distressing habit of shining
in Montgomery and fizzling at higher levels. Witness Lerrin
LaGrow.
One can boo Bill Freehan, laugh at Luke Walker, and
hurl obscenities at Ralph Houk, the Miracle Major. But the
fault for this sorry excuse for a baseball team belongs to
Tiger owner John Fetzer and general' manager Jim Camp-
bell.
The Tigers have been incredibly good to the pocketbooks of
Fetzer, consistently leading the American League in attendance.
With the Tigers generating a profit, there was little incentive
to upgrade the team. A financially secure Fetzer had no over-
whelming urge to press Jim Campbell into making trades. And
Campbell did nothing on his own.
Now, they're beginning to pay the price for keeping their
team in contention several years after it should' have been
'broken up. Inept baseball on the field and turnstiles gathering
dust, are a fitting reward to such incompetance.
Let it continue. If the Tiger fans continue to show good
judgment by staying away, Campbell will be forced either to
radically overhaul his entire organization, or seek employment
elsewhere. Let's hope he's still on good terms with Bob Scheffing.

On the whole, UCLA, Nebras-
ka, Stanford, North Dakota,
Colorado, Oregon State and Syr-I
acuse would have preferred to
be in Philadelphia last Saturday.
But then again, anywhere wouldI
have been better than a Big Ten
city.. The Big Ten was veryi
definitely the wrong place to
be, as two major upsets and
some solid all-around football
restored much of the prestige1
the Big Ten had lost in recent
years.-
The most spectacular of the
weekend's games was the con-
test between Nebraska and Wis-
consin. It had shaped up as an
interesting battle even before
the game: Wisconsin's Badgers
had won their first road game
in four years the week before
(28-14 over Purdue), while Ne-
braska had methodically pul-
verized Oregon 61-7.
The Cornhuskers carried the
No. 4 spot in the polls into the
game, and were prohibitive fa-
vorites. But someone forgot to
tell that to Wisconsin quarter-
back Gregg Bohlig, who passed
for 242 yards; the last 77 of
these' came in one burst when
Jeff Mack grabbed his long pass
at the Nebraska 35 and outraced
his defenders the rest of the
way.
The play, which came with
3Y2 minutes to go, brought to
a head the delirium that had hit
the Wisconsintbench two plays
earlier when the Badgers held
Nebraska to a field goal after
the Cornhuskers had started
with a first down at the two-
yard line.
Wisconsin Coach John Jar-
dine called the game "the finest
defensive effort we've ever had
here." Small wonder.
'Meanwhile, out in Palo Alto
another Big Ten team was mak-
ing headlines. Illinois let Stan-
ford score first, then shut them
out the rest of the way in an
impressive 41-7 rout.
The Illini, who normally live
or die by their defense, got four
interceptions from Mike Gow,
who led the nation in that cate-
gory last year. One of those he
returned 33 yards for what
proved to be the winning touch-
down.
The game wasn't icel, though,
until linebacker Tom Hicks re-
covered two fumbles and made
two important, tackles on a goal
line stand to help the Illini pro-
tect their 14-7 lead. After that,
senior quarterback Jeff Hollen-
bach directed two long touch-
down drives to ice the game.
Hollenbach had replaced starter
Jim Kopatz, who suffered a:
pinched nerve in his second
offensive series.
When ex-Michigan defensive
line coach Frank Maloney
brought his revamped crew ofI
Syracuse Orangemen into East
Lansing, he probably didn't ex-
pect to be manhandled quite so1
badly by the team that Michigan1
beat 31-0 last year. But this time
his players were wearing
Orange, not Maize and Blue,
and it made a' bit of a dif-
ference. The Spartans shut out
the Orange 19-0.
Syracuse just never got un-
tracked against a fine Spartan
defensive effort, trailing in the
eni
first down department by the
embarrassing margin of 23-4.
The State scores came on a 30
yard TD pass from Charlie Bag-
gett to Mike Jones and two
fourth quarter runs by Rich
Bass.
Ohio State took the field down
in Columbus against Oregon
State and about the biggest up-
set here was Woody's Buckeyes
giving up 10 points to one of the
lowlier Pac-8 teams. But the
I
l1exes
Bucks had no problems scoring
themselves in their 51-10 win.
The Griffin brothers (yes,
there's another one. Freshman
Ray scored twice on runs of
nine and 12 yards to go with
big brother Archie's score) were
so busy with the football that
Len Willis figured if he didn't
score when he got his hands on
it, he wasn't going to get an-
other chance. So he returned a
kick-off 97 yards to add insult
grid
'to injury.
Archie, who has never been
called anything less than amaz-
ing, needed only a quarter and
a half to get 134 yards. Oregon
State Coach Dee Andros dis-
covered during the game that
"to beat Ohio State you have to
stop Cornelius Greene and
Archie Griffin." Now all he has
to do is figure out a way.
Minnesota also triumphed, 42-
30 over North Dakota, and the
Golden Gophers seem to have
found an offense. Quarterback
Tom Dungy, who put 19 points
on the board against Ohio State
the week before, threw four
touchdown passes (three of them
to halfback Rick Upchurch) in
the wide open battle.
The Purdue Boilermakers can
take comfort in the knowledge
that everyone has a Miami of
Ohio. The famed "Cradle of
Coaches" school did it to the
Boilermakers again this year,
tying them at 7-7.
Purdue Coach Alex Agase,
who wasn't exactly thrilled
when his boys lost to Miami last
year, seems to be softening his
hopes: "We had a chance to win
it, but we didn't," said Agase,
"I guess we're making a little
progress."~
Indiana gave a reasonable ac-
count of itself in losing to 18th
ranked Arizona 35-20. The Hoos-
iers actually led the Wildcats
14-7 before Bruce Hill passed
for two touchdowps and an
Arizona victory.
Soviets tie
Canadians
VANCOUVER (A) - Alexan-
der Maltsev and Alexander Gu-
sev scored goals late in the
third period Monday night and
rallied the Russian national
team to a 5-5 tie with Team
Canada in the fourth game of
their exhibition hockey series.
The Soviet comeback wiped
out the 5-2 lead the Canadians
had built behind Bobby Hull's
three-goal first-period and left
the teams tied at one victory
and two ties each entering the
Russian phase of the series.
Even lowly Northwestern mnan
aged some sort of pride in their
49-3 lambasting at the hands of
Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish
managed only a 14-3 lead at
halftime before running it up -to
'poll respectibility.'
Not to be outdone, the Iowa
Hawkeyes surpised everybody,
including themselves, by pound-
ing 12th-ranked UCLA, 21 to 10.
It was the first victory ini thir-
teen attempts for the doormats
of the Big Ten. The fact that it
came against the ,so-called
mighty Bruins makes every-
thing a bit sweeter.
It was indeed a fine week-
end for the Big Ten. Overall the
Big Ten teams were 7-2-1
against outsiders. Not bad, con-
sidering the vaunted Big Eight's
only 8-7, and the Pac-8 has
stumbled to 5-10-1 against its
outside competition. The glory
days of old may not be quite
back yet . . . but it looks like
the Big Two and Little Eight
will soon become the Big Ten
again.

'Sports of The, Daily
Reserves bomb ND
Michigan's varsity reserve football team opened their season
on a happy note Sunday with a 31-12 win over the Notre Dame
reserves. A crowd of 2,000 watched the game in South Bend.
The Wolverines scored in every quarter, and never re-
linquished the lead. The stubborn Michigan defense forced
the Fighting Irish into mistakes. Dennis Brown's squad
capitalized on the bad luck of the Irish with four fumble
recoveries (out of ten made by Notre Dame), two pass in-
terceptions, and a blocked punt.
Notre Dame went to the air 43 times and completed 22
passes, but had trouble converting their gains to points on the
scoreboard until the second half. The Irish had 371 yards in
total offense to Michigan's 277.
Shaun Szenderski blocked a Notre Dame punt in the first
quarter to set up a score. Rex Mackall took the ball into the
end zone on an eight yard run, with Steve Knickerbocker kick-
ing the extra poin.t
It was the Baby Blue's aerial attack that really shone.
Quarterback John Ceddia threw two touchdown passes, a -
20 yarder in the second period, and a 50 yard bomb to Dennis
Richardson in the, third quatrer. Michigan gained a total of
149 yards in the air.
Notre Dame's first score came on an eight yard run by
Cicco in the third quarter. The Irish also scored on a 30 yard
pass from Forystek to Parseghian (head coach Ara's son). Both
the extra point attempt and a two-point conversion failed.
Wolverine { kicker Steve Knickerbocker was four for four
on extra point attempts for the day, and also made a 26 yard
field goal in the second quarter.
Michigan's final score came on a 44 yard pass from Roger
Bettis to Dave Harding.

deflect a pass thrown by Colorado quarterback Dave. Wil-

players-such as Banks, the mighty Michigan defense shut out

TOPPLE BRUINS
Ha wkeyes
By STEVE KIRSCHNER
Well, it was an eventful week-
end in college football, especial-
ly if you're a Big Ten fan.
Eventful, to say the least- Odds-
makers are wondering what
happened and maybe thinking
that looking for a new line of
work isn't such a bad idea after
all.
There were eight, yes eight,
major upsets on Saturday, three
of which were engineered by
Big Ten teams. One of these is
particularly interesting.
IOWA - remember them?
They played here a short time
ago and were humbled by the
Wolverines, 24-7, in a game in
which Denny Franklin didn't
even dress. The only thing that
changed when it was over was
that Iowa had lost twelve in a
row. They still hadn't won a

game since 1972.
And then there was UCLA,
the Bruins, powerhouses in most
everything these days and rank-
ed twelfth nationally in football.
Well, the Hawkeyes of Iowa
broke their twelve game losing
streak last Saturday and they
did it in style. They' toppled the
Bruins 21-10.

of the second period and UCLA
never recovered. Dave Jackson
caught the 38 yarder, giving
Iowa a second period lead and
after Andre Jackson scooped up
a Bob Ferrell fumble two plays
later, Fick connected with Mark
Fetter for the second touch-
down. The Bruins closed to
14-10 with 14:58 to play. Iowa,
however, played tough defense
and Fetter iced it with another
touchdown with 1:28 to go in the
game.
"Our kids played the com-
plete football game," coach Bob
Commings commented. "We
didn't do anything different than
we did in. Ann Arbor, we just
did it a lot better. Of course,"
he added, "Michigan had a lot
to do with that. It's about the
biggest thing to happen around
here in a long time."
Meanwhile, across the way in
Bruin country, the loss may be
one of the biggest things to hap-
pen since the "Walton Gang"
was dethroned back in March.
"We just got our fannies
whipped," quipped an obviously
upset Dick Vermeil, coach of
the Uclans. "We had too many
turnovers on good drives caus-
ing the defense to get progres-
sively tired and vulnerable."
ALL IN ALL, six" fumbles,
three of which Iowa recovered,
were the kiss of death for
UCLA.
By the way, rumor has it that
an aging Greek from Las Vegas
is looking for work and his name
isn't Kojak.
