Tuesday, September 25, 1973 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Nine eedi &7 S lem Bo say Joe ... . . . just don't know Dan Borus AS IT HAS BEEN for the last three years, Michigan opens its eight game exhibition season this Saturday and the question before Bo Schembechler at yesterday's luncheon was how do you keep them down on the gridiron when they've seen the Naval Academy's game films. Why even Joe Falls knows that the only game that counts comes up on November 24. Well, the crafty Mr. Schembechler, as expected, didn't quite see it that way. Asked about Mr. Falls' Sunday column, a piece that concluded that the Michigan-Ohio State game should be the only game played in the Big Ten, a piece which will undoubtedly find its way to the locker room bulletinboards around the loop, Schembechler grinned and replied, "I've taught Joe everything he knows about football and he still doesn't listen." Then the conservatively dressed Schembechler began his methodical lecture on the meaning of these eight games before the showdown for the universe and all its possessions. "There are certain things we have to get down pat before this season ends if we want to achieve our goals for this season. Unlike some sportswriters and fans, that, not the score or how fancy the game is, is what we look at," Bo concluded. In the "big game" against Stanford, which was over as soon as the Wolverines got the ball, here are some of the people and things Schembechler saw: Ed Shuttlesworth. '"That man is really playing football; let me tell you. Oh, he's not running the ball for yardage, but he's blocking like mad." 0 Tim Davis. "Listen to these stats. Davis had been in onl 62 plays from scrimmage. He's made the tackle on 20 of them. Sometimes I don't even know how he made the tackle, he's that quick." " Tom Jensen. "He played terrific football. Blocking and hustling throughout. He's going to start this week, not because Dennis Franks (the regular center) is hurting a bit, but because he earned it. Penalties and turnovers. "Ridiculous, we can't beat the better teams (read Ohio State) if we keep up this nonsense." In the last two games, the Wolverines have chalked up 11 penalties and five turnovers. The key to Michigan success has been the ability to minimize mistakes. The Wolverines have led the nation in least mistakes. These two game cumulative stats are com- parable to those for the first five of last year. Needless to say, that supreme perfectionist who runs the Maize and Blue was feeling just a little peturbed despite the run-away of last week. There's the rub, the mistakes. It didn't look like much to worry about to those fans in the stands who were so bored that by. the second half they took to tossing about the game ball kicker Mike Lantry booted into the seats. But the Michigan gamp is based, not upon superiority of personnel, but on the performance 'as a workable unit. Shuttles- worth will provide a good example of this point. Here's a man who is without rival as the best fullback in the loop. Not a more powerful runner plays for any Big Ten team. Yet he will not lead the conference in rushing simply because the offense does not revolve around him. He will, however, continue to plug away, blocking and running out his fakes. Yet there was Bo Schembechler complaining over Weber's lunch that offensive execution needed improvement. If the precision is missing in the November 24th game, then all-these exhibitions are worthless. That's running a little ahead of the story. Exhibition Number' Three is on deck this week and those weak cousins from the Naval Academy are the foes. Last year they were trounced in a boring 35-7 rout. This year won't be different. So if you want razzle dazzle, go to Ypsilanti and check out the Hurons. If you don't want that slow,- violent intimidation, check out the three mile cross country postal meet. If you want a clue how the Wolverines are going to win the big one, the evidence will be on display at the Stadium. I've got a dollar that says the first play Michigan runs is Shuttlesworth off left tackle.

It was his second major league victory.

Marty Pattin rode the heavy at- tack to his 14th victory of the year. The victory moved the Red Sox one game ahead of Detroit in the battle for second place in the American League East. Daily Photo by DAVID MARGOLICK STANFORD DEFENSIVE BACK Jim Kaffen (22) is about to get leveled by Bo Schembechler's fav- orite blocker, Ed Shuttlesworth (31), as Chuck Heater (44) turns the corner. Kaffen had numerous op- portunities to gaze into Shuttlesworth's eyes before meeting the Tartan Turf of Michigan Stadium in last Saturday's 47-10 Michigan mauling of the Cardinals. For his efforts, Shuttlesworth was named of- fensive champion of the week, while Kaffen got a free plane ride back to Palo Alto. E-- ------ ------ EXERIENCE NEEDED ,I:I Major Leagu IrishI By JOHN KAHLER The Michigan Varsity Reserve football team opened its 1973 sea- son on an inept note, losing to a more experienced N o t r e Dame contingent 20-3 yesterday. The Jay- vees, hampered by a lack of co- hesion caused by a lack of practice time as a team, could not put it all together, The Baby Blue put together their one good drive following the open- ing kickoff. The drive was sparked by some inspired running by full- back Jerry Vogele and tailback Rob Lytle. Lytle picked up 40 yards of his game high 69 rushing yards on this drive, capped by a 29 yard option gallop that took the Wolverines down to the Notre Dame five yard line.. The drive stalled there, as quar- terback John Ceddia misfired on two passing attempts, and Mich- igan had to settle for a 22 yard field goal by Bob Wood for a 3-0 lead. Thearest of the game, however, was all Notre Dame. The Baby Blue could not move the ball with any consistency, while the defense proved incapable of stopping the Irish attack. An interception by Darrell Truitt proved for naught as the Irish defense stifled all that was thrown at it. Capably directed by Rich Slager and. Frank Trosko, Notre. Dame moved into a 6-3 halftime lead on a pair of Slager field goals of 33 and 31 yards, respectively. The Irish used their superior depth to !great advantage in mauling the IBlue defenders. In the second half, Notre Dame capitalized on some slipshod tackl- ing and porous pass defense to open the margin to 13-3. Tom Parise bounced off several Mich- igan tacklers to move the ball to the Michigan eleven. Slager, the nephew of the Michigan Stadium announcer, hit Don Knott on a f re eze scoring pass from there. Notre Dame's final score came on a 13-' yard pass from Trosko to Tom! Fine. Michigan mounted a late threat as a pass from Jeff Spahn to Glenn Franklin gained 30 yards into Irish territory. Ceddia was thrown for a loss, however, and nothing came of the threat. Surveying the wreckage after the game, coach Denny Brown ob- served, "The key to the gamne was that our front five (offensive line) could not handle their front four. Notre Dame used a lot of different sets, which got our people con- frosh J fused. In fact, one of our guards never blocked their tackle all day.'

What's more, the lens provides a built-in closeup system with which to apply its matchless performance up to 1:1 reproduc- tion. The helical mount of the Micro Nikkor has an extra-long extension range. You can focus it continuously from infinity to 9.5" (film plane to subject) where it produces a 1/2-life size image. Use of the M2 ring, furnished as standard equipment, provides a second focusing range from 1 /2-life size to 1:1. The automatic diaphragm remains operative through- out the entire range even when using the M2 ring. Without this ring, the lens is meter-coupled for open-aperture exposure control; with the M2 ring, the stop-down method is used. I r We also have the NEW Nikkormat EL in stock!
