Michigan :Stadium tomorrow
with a degree of pessimis.m and
insecurity. similar to that of to-
day's harried consumer.
Beset by injuries and with in-
experienced players trying to
fill in, Minnesota coaches are
not confident about their team's
chances against Michigan. Min-
nesota's Big Ten record stands
at 1-2 with losses to Ohio State
and Indiana and a victory last
week over Iowa.
Minnesota coach Cal Stoll said
his young team is struggling
right now and that "all we can
do is play as good a game as
we can against Michigan."
Minnesota's deficiencies are
dispersed throughout the squad,
and the only journey the Little
Brown Jug will likely make will
be from its secret showcase to
the Maize and Blue sideline and
back.;
DEFENSIVELY, the Gopher
ranks are a shambles as six
starters are incapacitated by in-
juries. Defensive coach Norm
Parker said he is stunned by
Minnesota's rash of disabling in-
juries, adding, "I know this
sounds like sour-grapin',. but
I've never been involved in a
year like this."
The defensive line consists of
tackle's Mike Ramerth and Keith
Simons, ends Jeff Smith and
Mike Burne and middle guard
Jim Ronan. All, except Simons,
are replacing injured starters.
Smith replaces injured Ron
Worbel who was slated to re-
place graduated All-Big Ten end
Steve Neils.
Parker said Simons (6-4, 247)
has the most physical talent
and might receive conference
recognition.
Otherwise seniors Byrne and
t Ramerth, and junior Smith are
described as hustlers by Park-
er, but they lack physical talent
-and are quite small. All weigh
about 220 pounds.
Ronan, a freshman, has great
potential according to Parker
but at present is awfully green.'
, THE LINEBACKERS, led by
standout Ollie Bakken, are also
a patchwork force. Not only is
Bakken banged up and nindered
by nagging injuries, but a strong
contender for a linebacker open-
ing, junior Steve Craine is out
for the season.
Senior Paul Glanton, a music
major who hopes to sing opera,
will open at middle linebacker,

Greg Gerths will face Michi-
gan's right side rushes.

That was the second best total
in Gopher history. Upchurch

Last week the Gophers played
for Floyd of Rosedale, a very in-
conspicuous, bronze pig, posses-
sion of which is symbolic of
victory between Minnesota and'
Iowa.
Minnesota retains Floyd.
BUT THIS WEEK the Gophers,
play for an inconspicuous brown
jug. Obtaining it will be difficult
considering injuries, inexperi
ence and the opponent.
Stoll said he brought Floyd out
last week because some of thej
players had never se.en it. The
Jug, however, will likely remain
unbeheld to Gopher eyes.

Wolverine change style .
. . so do Bucke:yes
SITTi'NG THERE like the Rocky Mountains to a pioneer family
in search of California gold, the Ohio State Buckeyes are the
mountainous obstacle before the Wolverines in their quest for
their first National Championship in 26 years.
Although injuries and sickness have prevented the Wol-
verines from rolling up Buckeye-type yardage and scoring
totals, the Wolverines should meet limited resistance from
their remaining opponents. Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois and
Purdue should fall before the Wolverines arrive in Columbus
for another Battle of the Millenium, Nov. 23.
Buckeye fans can also be forgiven if they are looking to the
Michigan game for a source of excitement. Woody Hayes' legions
should have little trouble scoring a point a minute against
totally outmanned Northwestern tomorrow; and Illinois, Mich-
igan State and Iowa should bring the victim list to ten.
Even if the 10-0 records are the same, the Buckeye and
Wolverine teams are different in 1974. Michigan, lacking be-
hemoth linemen and a pile-driving fullback, relies on speed and
overall team quickness to mow down all foes.
There are enough Woody Hayes fullback stories to fill this
page but the current Bucks are a speedy group also.
Hayes has added more than a dash of outside running and1
passing to the attack, and quarterback Cornelius Greene's newly
acquired passing arm supplements the basic Archie Griffin 100
yards on the ground.
Last Saturday in OSU's easy 49-9 romp over Lee Corso's In-I
diana Hoosiers, Griffin gained over 100 yards for the sixteenth
straight time. Buried in the wire service accounts were Greene's
superlative deeds.
The tiny quarterback from Washington, D.C., who threw
nary a pass against Michigan last year, completed nine of his
11 aerials for 235 yards and ran for 95 more. His 330 yards in
total offense earned him a niche in the Big Ten record book,
fifth on the all-time list.
But all is not peaches and cream for the Buckeyes, al-
though the scores of their games might indicate that. TheI
Buckeye defenders aren't nearly the brick wall they were
last year and may prove,vulnerable in a close contest.{
OSU is giving up nearly 300 yards a game, a 50 per cent
increase over the 200 or so given up last year. That doesn't mat-
ter too much when the score is 42-3 and the defense is conceding

FLEET WINGBACK Gil Chapman (24)'is just one of the
offensive threats that Michigan can hurl at the hobbled Min-
nesota Gophers this weekend. The Blue runners will be
attacking a Gopher line comprised mainly of substitutes due
to the plethora of injuries that has hit Cal Stoll's squad this
season. Michigan should find the going somewhat easier than
it was in the narrow 24-20 win over Wisconsin last weekend.

the lead was a big advantage

Badger quarterback Gregg Boh-

get some quick touchdowns, suf-

In other words, the Badger

chance to grind out any drives
because they didn't have time.

ines.

how much until the Michigan

know how much they miss Shut-
