Tough
Illini
defense
set
to
test
Wolverines
By JEFF CHOWN
The Illinois-Michigan clash this
Saturday might not be the cliff'
hanger it's billed to be. Bo Schem-
bechler said earlier this week that
"this could be one of the toughest
ball games we will have to play
this year."
But while the Illini defense is to
be respected after their perform-
ance against number one rated
Ohio State last week, their offenseI
may not have what it takes to put
more than a few points on the
board..
True, the Illini racked up 50
points the week before their 30-0
loss to Ohio State. But their op-
ponent, the hapless Hawkeyes of
Iowa (0-8), hasn't been known
for their ironclad defense.
Coming into the Iowa game, the
Illinois offense hadn't scored a
touchdown in 15 quarters. Thanks
to kicker Dan Beaver's 24 points
over that stretch and defensive
heroics, the Illini were undefeated
in the Big Ten prior to the Ohio
State debacle.
Beaver has been a minor sensa-
tion at Illinois. The golden-toed
freshman has kicked nine field
goals breaking an Illinois season
record, and putting him two away
from tying Mike Wells' career
record.
As Schembechler points out, the
backfield of Illinois has been ham-
pered by injuries, and appear to
be all healthy now. But the fact
that they could only muster five
first downs against the Buckeyes
leaves the Michigan head coach's
statement that "they could be ex-
tremely explosive" somewhat sus-

pect.
The Illinois passing attack isn't
quite what it was last year, when
they had All-Big Ten Mike Wells.
But junior Jeff Hollenbach is
rated third in the Big Ten sta-
tistics. He does have a fine re-
ceiver in split end Garvin Rober-
son. The 6-4, 195 pound senior is
only ninth in the conference with
seven receptions, but was named
to the All-Big Ten second team
last year. While Michigan's rush-
ing defense is first in the confer-
ence so far, their pass defense
is only eighth, which may tempt
the Illini to go to the air a little
more than usual.
The real mainstay of the Illinois
squad, of course, is their defense.
Despite the 30 points OSU scored
on them, they gave the Buckeyes
fits before the roof fell in in the
last q u a r t e r. Woody's wonders
could only manage three first half
points, and, at the end of the
game, the Illini defense received
a standing ovation for their efforts.
Their passing defense leads the
Big Ten in all categories, including
11 interceptions in five games. Of
course, a good pass defense is use-
less with a leaky line. But that is

not the case, as the Illini are ajso
fourth in the Big Ten against the
rush, and also fourth overall in
total yards gained.
The Illini suffered a setback
when rover Ken Braid sprained
an ankle against OSU, putting
him in dry dock for the remain-
der of the season. Up to that
time the senior co-captain was
fourth on the team in tackles.
Illinois coach Bob Blackman was
not about to underrate the Wolver-
ines in his pre-game analysis:
"I've voted Ohio State and Mich-
igan one-two in the national polls
since the first pre-season vote in
early September."
The Wolverines have been par-
ticularly devastating against the
Illini in the past. They've won
six straight from Illinois and 13
of their last 14 encounters. Mich-
igan has outscored Illinois 201
to 13 since 1968, including one
string of three straight shutouts.
To reverse the present trend the
Illini will have to get another
strong performance from their de-
fense and their offense will have
to discover' some degree of con-
sistency.

GIL CHAPMAN, the Michigan Wolverines' explosive tailback, finds the going pretty rough against
Oregon as he is sandwiched between a pair of Duck tacklers in Michigan's walkaway earlier this sea-
son. Chapman and the rest of the Michigan offense may find themselves in a lot of similar situations
tomorrow as the tough Illinois defense comes to town.

Double win for kickers
Both the graduate and undergraduate Michigan soccer
teams were in action last night in the U-M at Dearborn In-
vitational Soccer Tournament, and both met with great success.
The grads whipped Northern Michigan 4-1, while the under-
grads had an easy time of it in beating St. Clair of Windsor, 5-2.
It was the first round of the tournament for the grads, whose
offense was supplied almost entirely by Steve Panaregnos, with
three goals.
The undergrads had a much more balanced attack. Their
two right insiders, Havier Romares and Doug Byrun, had two
and one goals, respectively. Their left insider, Dave Polawski,
got the other two. Rob Horowitz starred in goal for the under-
grads, who will play in the tourney semi-finals on Saturday.

R .eserve gamne cancelled
The Varsity Reserve football game scheduled for today has
been cancelled. The expected opponent, Michigan State, called
up yesterday afternoon to say that they couldn't make it,
marking the second time this year the Spartans have cancelled
a reserve game with Michigan.
The V.R.'s will close out their season on Nov. 16, when
they travel to Toledo. They are currently 0-2, and this can-
cellation assures them of a losing season.

Field hockey concludes
The Michigan Women's Field Hockey team concluded their
season yesterday with a 1-1 tie against Wayne State. Mary For-
restal got the only Michigan goal in the tight, well played game.
The tie left the team with a 1-3-1 record for the season.
