"We got down in the hole early in both games, and it's, tough to come back when your team is down by two or three goals." Coach Farrell also con- tended that "Denver is not that good a team, but they had good goaltending and had some of- fensive power that we didn't have." The offensive punch that Michigan did receive last weekend came from three players: Angie Moretto and Kris Manery combined for five goals, with Bill Thayer G rid- withi notching the other two. Far rell included Rob Palme and Dan Hoenes, along wit the other three mentioned, a, "our best performers ovej the weekend series." Farrell was also pleased wil the goaltending of Frank Zin merman, saying that the fres' man "played adequately, ar could not be faulted for ar of the goals."

In rapid succession, Bo was asked about events in East Lan- sing and Champaign-Urbana last Saturday, what he is expect- ing in Columbus, and what he thinks of the current Rose Bowl rbles and proposed changes. At one point, an irritated Bo sug- gested, "Let's talk about this week's game, okay?" When he was asked about the Boilermakers, Bo lavished abundant praise. "They've got Larry Burton, who's one hell of a player, and a great sprinter. Their tight end is as good as any,, and they've got receivers as good as any we've faced," Bo gushed. One can be certain that nothing Bo said yesterday will end up posted in the Purdue locker room. Bo is too smart to say anything that an opposing coach could use against him. But it is one thing to tell a group of sportswriters how good an opponent will be, and another to get a, group of football play- ers to believe it. Purdue will hit town possessing a 3-5-1 season mark, with defeats at the hands of weak-sisters Duke and Min- nesota among their five losses. With the big game in Columbus only eleven days away, the Wolverine players will face a great temptation to look ahead. But Bo will not admit a potential problem exists, at least not pub- licly. "I'm not going to do anything special to get them (the team) up for this game," he said. "They know what's at stake here. And this is their last home game." One can expect, though, that certain facts about Purdue will be mentioned to the Wolverines this week. The Boiler- makers gave Michigan tremendous battles In 1971 and 1972, before succumbing by the margin of one field goal each time. Alex Agase's squad boasts a well-rounded offensive unit and Purdue handed Notre Dame its only loss of the year.. Michigan assistant coach Tom Reed calls Purdue, "the best offensive team we'll face so far this year." Bo would not go that far in praise of the Boilermakers, but he did say that "there's not one team in the Big Ten that can't move the ball." On more popular subjects, Bo remained unconcerned about his team's recent close games against lightly regarded opposi- tion. "What's wrong with you people is that you disregard these other teams," claimed Bo,; as thoug the sports media were responsible for the miscues that characterized the Michigan offensive performance, last Saturday. "I respect those ball clubs. Anyway, the big thing is to win. We can profit from the mistakes we make, win or lose." "I'm not upset with a 14-6 win. There are a lot of teams in the country that have played under the same circumstances as we did down there and didn't win." Bo would not predict what effect Ohio State's stunning loss to Michigan State would have on the big showdown, or Michigan's place in the polls. "I'm not disappointed that the " Buckeye's won't be number one when we play them," he stated. "In that game, it doesn't matter who is rated where." So the showdown approaches, and the pressure mounts. And it would.be a great shame if the "Spoilermakers" ruined all the By STEVE KIRSCHNER Penn State team as well as Flo- passing.

( ENTICORE invites everyone. to a Reception & Autography Party FOR GARY PAUL GATES CO-AUTHOR OF The Palace Guard By DAN RATHER & GARY PAUL GATES Thursday, Nov. 14 at 1 :00 p.m. Drink a alass or two of wine with Mr. Gates and us. THE PALACE GUARD For many the need to know Nixon's "loyal servants" in the White House-who they were, where they came from, why and how Nixon gave them unprecedented power, how they used that power- remains valid and compel- ling. CBS-TV correspondent Dan Rather and co-author Gary Gates have provided a toufgh, informed, often bril- liant account of W h i t e House infighting in the four years leading up to Water- oate. At its center are the emerging "K n i g h t s of .the Rueful Countenance." and Ehrlichman--a pair who, by the crucial year 1970, saw Moynihan, Roaers, Finch and Hickel drop out one by oniel leaving them the opportunity to set themselves up as Nix- on's palace guard, thus iso- lating the President disas- trously. The authors f i n d here the roots of Watergate, balancing pathos with irony (those tapes were Halde- man's idea, and he "laved" Nixon). They make 'clear, the fierce devotion of these righteous "children of Nix- on" to the loner they appar- ently revered. CENTICORE BOOKSHOP 336 Maynard St. Up to 25% off on weekends.
