Brown

"Basically, the safety is the
last man. I have to get the run-

nobody left to cover up for me."

I was surprised and a little 'dis-

He stuck mostly to screens and
short over-the-middle stuff. May-
be he was trying to keep the
football away from me."
While dissatisfied that the ac-
tion had gone away from him,
Brown feels the team's overall
defensive play and winning the
game are paramount. "I like be-
ing in the action, but I like win-
hing more."
Brown started out as a quar-
terback' in ninth grade and even
threw eight touchdown passes,
but he was switched to a wide
receiver slot anyway. However,
his favorite position soon became
the defensive backfield.
Although Brown was named
All-Northeast Ohio safety and
Akron Garfield High School com-
piled an impressive 26-4 record
during Dave's t h r e e varsity
years,' most schools, including
Michigan, recruited him as a
wide receiver.
Brown was pursued by a host
of major schools including Kan-
sas State, Iowa State, Notre
Dame, Northwestern, and Ohio
State, but it was, Tom Darden
and Billy Taylor, former Wol-
verine greats and ace Ohio re-
cruiters, who convinced him to
come to Ann Arbor.
"I didn't feel anyone else was
as interested in me as Michigan,"
Brown relates. "The football peo-
ple seem to be more closely knit
here than at some of the other
schools that recruited me."
ThattMichigan defensive unit
is pretty closely knit also.
They're not too far off last year's
points per game pace (with 17
in three games) and one of those
key stitches is Number Six, Mr.
Brown.
SECOND STRAIGHT LOSS:
Reserves improve
in 10-3 loss to Irish
1.
A
By JOHN KAHLER
The Michigan Varsity Reserve
team was better than before but
still not good enough as they lost
a tough 10-3 decision to the Notre
Dame J.V.'s last Monday. Ac-
cording to head coach Dennis
Brown, the Baby Blue outplayed
the Irish all the way, only to lose
on a pair of Irish goalline stands.
On the first play from scrim-
mage, tailback Rob Lytle burst
through the line for a 65-yard
run down to the Notre 'Dame
five. However, Michigan failed to
punch it over from there. "We
sent our best backs at them, but
we just couldn't do it," moaned
Brown.
THE IRISH CAME fighting
back in the second period to take
the lead on a fumble recovery in
the end zone by fullback Kevin
Doherty. His teammate, tailback
Bill Bonder, had fumbled the ball
on the Michigan four, but Do-
herty seized the opportunity and
fell on the bouncing pigskin in
the end zone.
MICHIGAN GARNERED its
only score in the second half as
kicker Bob Wood booted a 22-
yard field goal. On the following
series, the Blue drove to the
Irish five-yard line, but again
c a m e up empty-handed. The
Blue and Gold hit on a 39-yard
field goal to round out the scor-
ing.
All in all, it was a frustrating
trip for the Baby Blue. "We
should have won that game, or
at least tied it," Brown stated
gritting his teeth. "With any luck
at all it could have been 21-10
in our favor."
BROWN HAD ONLY praise for
his defensive unit, which made
a vast improvement over their
performance of a week earlier.
"I believe our defense came of
age out there Monday." He sin-
gled out for praise Michigan's
goalline stand (on an Irish first
and four) and the play of defen-
sive backs Jerry Zuver and Jack
Fairbanks.
THE OFFENSE picked up 217
total yards of which 139 were on
the ground with Lytle leading the
rushing attack with 96 yards. But
the passing attack was a weak
4 for 14, with open receivers fail-
ing to get the ball on several
key occasions.
The V.R.'s have a long layoff
until Oct. 22 when they play host
to Michigan State. The Spartans,
41-3 losers to Ohio State, should
provide the Blue with a chance
at a winning season.

From wire Service Reports
_Frazier, Ali to meet again
NEW YORK-Madison Square Garden has called a press
conference for noon, EDT, Thursday, giving rise to speculation
that the arena is ready to announce a heavyweight rematch be-
tween Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.
Frazier, an undefeated champion at their first meeting won
a decision over Ali, who was also unbeaten at the time but
hampered by a layoff due to his battle with the U.S. government
over his refusal to enter the military service.
Since then both have been beaten. Frazier had his title
taken away by George Foreman, who scored a stunning second-
round knockout. Ali lost a decision to Ken Norton but redeemed
the loss with a 12-roundtsplit verdict over Norton last month.
Olympian passes away
HELSINKI-Paavo Nurmi, "The Flying Finn" whose long
distance running exploits in the Golden Twenties made him a
legend, died here last night at the age of 76.
He was the iron'man of his age, winning nine gold medals in
three Olympic Games. He competed in three of the games-
1920, 1924, and 1928-and would have made it to a fourth had
he not been disqualified just prior to the 1932 event on charges
of professionalism.
The charge and the ban embittered the Finnish star, but he
remained a national hero. A statue of him was erected in front
of the stadium which became the scene of the Olympics in 1952
and he was honored on that occasion by being allowed to light
the Olympic flame.
Indiana runner quits
BLOOMINGTON - Indiana University's fullback Ken St.
Pierre has quit the football team so he can concentrate on base-
ball, Coach Lee Corso said yesterday.
St. Pierre, the No. 5 ground gainer in UI history with 1,301
yards, has been the catcher for the Hoosiers' baseball team for
two years.
The Danvers, Mass., native has been used sparingly this
football season and has carried the ball only 15 times for 51
yards.
Stars sue Beaty
SALT LAKE CITY-The Utah Stars of the American Basket-
ball Association filed a breach of contract suit yesterday against
center Zelmo Beaty and his attorney because Beaty hasn't shown
up for preseason work.
Stars President Vince Boryla said Beaty has failed to appear
for training, although he has a valid contract for the 1973-74
season. Beaty has been trying to negotiate a contract for the
1974-75 season.

"It was the best individual
performance I've ever been
around."
At the rate things are going,
University of Pittsburgh head
football coach Johnny Majors
may be saying that afterjevery
game Tony Dorsett plays in.
Dorsett, a 5-11, 175 pound tail-
back, has begun his freshman
year at Pitt in a way that has
rekindled the flickering h o p e s
about the Panther's future.
In Dorsett's first game, against
Georgia, he rushed for 101 yards
as the game ended in a tie. The
next week he bettered that mark
with 121 yards against Baylor
in a winning effort. And la s t
Saturday he exploded for 265
yards against the Northwestern
Wildcats, scoring twice in a 21-
14 Pitt victory. It was this fan-
tastic performance that prompt-
ed the above statement from
Majors, who has been a major
college coach for 17 years.
Dorsett's longest gain was a
79 yard touchdown run but it
was his other TD scamper that
excited Majors. "One of t h e
best I've seen," stated tke Pitt
mentor. "It was from six
yards out. He was hit at scrim-
mage,.turned completely around,
reversed his field and dragged a
couple tacklers into the end zone
on his own. He runs hard in-
side but has excellent break-
away speed also."
Dorsett went to high school in
Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, about
20 miles from Pittsburgh. A mon-
ster man on defense as a sopho-
more, he switched to tailback
in his last two years and w a s
named schoolboy All-American.
will have their work cut out
for them in the coming months
as they must face stiff competi-
tion in the person of West Vir-
ginia, Notre Dame and P e n n
State.
Majors calls his new-found star
"quiet, soft-spoken and refresh-
ing to be around.. He is a ple.as-
ure to coach. He has as much
poise as any sophomore or jun-
ior I've seen. It will be-hard to
top that performance, but he
has a bright future and will be
an important factor in Pitt's
success."

This honor brought about

Pitt, despite their 1-10 record
