selection of a quarterback this
season-he gives everyone a
chance.
Well, not exactly everyone,
but three guys in particular.
Mike Cordova has been the most
publicized of the trio, and has
started twice, and Guy Ben-
jamin got the nod against Il-
linois. The third man, Jerry(
Waldvogel, will try to break
Michigan's 14-game overall un-
beaten string and three-game
skein against Pac-Eight teams
as the Wolverines.and Cardinals
clash at 4:30 p.m. EDT today
in Stanford Stadium. Sunny
skies and mild temperatures
are predicted.
Waldvogel is a mystery man
to the Wolverines. Bo Schem-
bechler, who can usually tell
you the shoe sizes of the op-
posing players, is in the dark'
about Waldvogel. "I don't know
anything about. him," Bo quip-
ped, "except that he's blond."
Actually, Christiansenisn't
trying to make his football
team into a co-op, he's just
trying to find a quarterback.
Cordova has thrown 100 of the
Cards total of 115 passes, but
has been plagued by inter.
ceptions in a 42 per cent com-
pletion average.
The question gnawing at Car-
dinal fans and Bay Area writers
is not therstrategy of giving
each quarterback a chance, but
BLN
why Waldvogel didn't play
against San Jose State which
tied Stanford last week, 21-21.
That way, Christiansen could
have made up his mind by the
Michigan game and be all set
for the league opener at UCLA
next Saturday.
Quarterback t r o u b 1 e s are
nothing new for Christiansen,
who used to coach the San
Francisco 49ers. At that time,
he had former Stanford great
John Brodie and hot-shot col-
legian George Mira. The local
citizenry clamored for Mira and
actually pressured Christiansen
into starting him one day. Mira,
recently resurrected in the
World Football League, fell on
his face, and Christiansen learn-
ed not to listen to the fans.
But don't be surprised if
Waldvogel's trial doesn't last
that long, especially if the
Wolverines jump out to a big
lead. Last year, in the herald-
ed rematch of the 1972 Rose
Bowl, the game was over al-
most before it started.
Michigan drove 80 yards with
the opening kickoff and added
two more scores in rapid suc-
cession after Cardinal turn-

overs, en route to a convincing l
47-10 win. Despite the score,
Schembechler didn't think the
Cardinal's defense was that bad.
"Everybody looks at that score
from last year, but we did not a n
blow them out. I can't count on
their errors and those two Mike
Lantry fifty yard field goals
like last year."
But despite the unsettled
quarterback position here, the

before the West Coast voters
and later in the televised games
with Minnesota and Ohio State.
In these parts, a quarter-
back is supposed to throw a
lot and run when necessary,
not vice-versa. Although Bo
never does anything to aid
an individual's drive for per-
sonal honors, don't be shocked
if the California air if full of
footballs this afternoon.
Just as Michigan has often
been characterized as a team
that runs conservative offensivef
patterns and wins a minimum
of ten games a year, the Cards
have beenvpredictably unpre-
dictable. Even in its best of
years, Stanford loses a few easyk
games and wins a few toughies.
In 1971, for example, the Cards
lost to San Jose State, Washing-
ton State, and California, but
beat USC, UCLA, and Michigan.
As Bo says, "It's the same
old Stanford team."
[umi aing 56J-1 loss at the
hands of UCLA, is looking to
end five straight years of frus-
trating losses to the Irish.
Steve Sylvester, senior offen-
sive tackle for seventh-ranked
Notre Dame, is trying to forget
the upset: "Right now, we've
got to go to Michigan State and
they've got 80,000 people com-'
ing out. We've got to show peo-
ple we're not quitters. That'sj
what Notre Dame's all aout.
We don't quit. We don't hide.'
We've got to face the cnal-
lenges."
Washington State (1-2) will
reluctantly host Woody Hayes
and his Buckeyes (3-0) in
Seattle's Husky Stadium. Or-
iginally scheduled for the
Cougars' Martin Stadium, the
game was moved to Seattle to
accommodate an, anticipated
larger crowd.
Cougar linebacker Don Hover,
who faced Ohio State last year,
is no longer awed at its devas-
tating running - attack which is
tops on the Big Ten yardage
c h a r t s so far this year:
"They're human beings .
just people, like you and me.
They're number one, but we're
shooting to knock them off.'
Washington State, defeated by
Illinois 21-19 in the final 34 sec-
onds, is regarded warily by
Hayes.
"When you're number one
you have to be ready physi--ally
and mentally every week," said!
Hayes. "Everyone you plhy is
after you, wanting to beat you
and make their season a suc-
cess."
Despite these typical com-
ments, which precede most
Ohio State slaughters, the Bick-
eyes are still favored by four
or five touchdowns.
In Madison this afternoon,
W i s c o n s i n and Missouri
square off in what promises
to be one of the more excit-
ing games of the day. The
Badgers will be looking for a
repeat performance of two
weeks ago when they upset

over Arizona State.
Minnesota will start a fresh-
man quarterback for the second
year in a row as they continue
a 45 year old rivalry with the
Cornhuskers of N e b r a s k a.
Either Steve Olsen or Marc
Tretsman will handle the field
generalship while frosh Tommie
Ash attempts to duplicate a two
interception performance that
earned him the AP Player of
the Week award.
In a battle against the PAC-8,
Northwestern (0-3) hosts Ore-
gon, Illinois encounters Caifor-
nia, and Iowa travels to the
coast to meet USC. The Illini
will attempt to knock off their
third straight PAC-8 team while
the Hawkeyes must gear up a
running attack that faltered
Penn State last week. The oppo-
sition for Northwestern should
ease somewhat as they try to
bounce back from consecutive
losses to powerhouses Notre
Dame and Nebraska.
In other Big Ten action, In-
diana (0-3) hosts West Virginia
and Purdue (1-1-1) travels to
Duke.
oday
Bando led the A's in RBIs
with 103, finishing ahead of
right-fielder Reggie Jackson
(93 rbi, 29 hr) and Rudi, who
drove in 99 runs. Jackson has
missed the last ten games with
a muscle pull, but is expected
to be at full strength for the
playoffs.
Rudi is a genuine MVP
candidate this season, as he
led the A's in hitting with a
.293 mark and poled 22 home
runs. Billy North, the Ameri-
can League's leading base
stealer, holds down center
field. Tenace, World Series
star of two years ago, blasted
26 homers this year but hit
a disappointing .211.
The A's will be going up
against one of the top pitching
staffs in baseball . when they
face the Orioles. Hot-tempered
Cuellar won 22 games, putting
him over the 20-win plateau for
the fourth time in six years.
Pitching the second and third
games for the O's will be Dave
McNally and Jim Palmer, re-
spectively.
Oakland also has a formid-
able pitching staff. The tri-
umverate of Hunter, Blue and
Holtzman head the staff. The
three aces combined for 61
wins, more than two-thirds of
Oakland's total.
By RICH LERNER
The World champion Oakland
Athletics and the red-hot Bal-
timore Orioles, a pair of teams
carried to divisional titles by
the strength of their pitching
staffs, meet in Oakland today
in the first game of the Amer-
ican League playoffs.
The A's will put Jim "Cat-
fish" Hunter against Baltimore
screwball artist Mike Cuellar
intoday's game. Hunter, a right-
hander led the A. L. in both
E.R.A. (2.49) and wins (25).
Baltimore manager Earl Weav-
er, a man who believes in the
platoon system, will counter
with his left-handed lineup.
-I - -
Boog Powell will be at first
base, Elrod Hendricks will han-
dle the catching duties, and
Rich Coggins will hold down
an outfield post against Hunter.
When southpaws Vida Blue
and Ken Holtzman pitch for the
A's, Weaver will play power-
hitting Earl Williams at first,
veteran Andy Etchebarren be-
hind the plate, and fleet-footed
rookie Enos Cabell in the out-
field.
Leading the Baltimore hitting
are the two oldest Orioles. Tom-
my Davis drove home 84 runs
and hit .289 as the designated
hitter and the "human vacuum
cleaner", third baseman Brooks
UMMM~
Robinson, hit a solid .288 this
season. Slick-fielding second
baseman Bobby Grich slapped
19 home runs to pace the Oriole
long ball attack.
