Thursday, September 7, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three Thursday, September7, 1972 THE MiCHIGAN DAILY bo's boys seek rosy perfection -Daily-Rolfe Tessem harry banks (20) streams through By BILL ALTERMAN For the third year in a row, the Wolverine football season ran one game too long. In 1969, the Maize and Blue climaxed an 8-2 regular season by losing the Rose Bowl. The next year it was a final game loss -to Ohio State in Colum- bus, and last year the Wolver- ines, undefeated during the reg- ular season, were dropped 13-12 by Stanford in the thrill-packed Pasadena classic. So much for what went wrong. Now for what went right. Actually just about every- thing. Though lacking any passing attack to speak of, the Wolverines managed to blow through (with admittedly some wheezing) all 11 of their regu- lar season opponents to become the first Michigan grid team since 1948 to finish the regular season undefeated. Three times;, the Wolver- ines ran up 50 or more points against the opposition. And with the nation's stingiest defense against the score, Michigan had little trouble smashing through its foes. But signs of the Big Blue Machine's vulnerability were seen when they had to struggle in their final two games to slip by Purdue and Ohio State. The Wolverines will be hard pressed to duplicate last year's performance this fall.' But despite the loss of some key personnel, M i c h i g a n could very well find itself in Pasadena again come Janu- ary 1. Gone will be the fleet-footed running of all-time leading Michigansrusher Billy Taylor, whose last minute touchdown run against Ohio State sent the crowd into ecstasy.

But Coach Bo Schembechler just seems to keep 'em coming. The 1972 Wolverines have an excess of returning talent and a sophomore crop which should have little trouble filling in the holes made by graduation. BACK WILL BE Sophomore All-America fullback Ed Shut- tlesworth who ploughed his way. for more than 800 yards on blue snare all-sports title Michigan returned to the throne of Big Ten sports after a one year's absence by claiming the All Sports Championship last year. The Wolverines compiled one of the highest all-sports aver- ages in years with an 8.17 in the 12 sports in which Michigan competed. The title was the Wolverines' ninth in 12 years. The MichiganrState Spartans, who last year dethroned the Wolverines from the mythical title, finished a somewhat dis- tant second with a 7.69 average for 13 sports. Ten points are awarded for a first place finish, nine for a second, eight for a third, etc. The Wolverine 8.19 average represents an average season finish between second and third. Michigan won titles by emerg- ing undefeated in football and tennis. Second place finishes were provided by swimming, gymnastics and hockey and the Wolverines placed third in bas- ketball, baseball, wrestling, and cross country. The most satisfying finishes for the Maize and Blue were in golf and track. Although both squads ended fourth they fared some- what better than the Wolverines were expetced to do in these sports. Lower finishes would have threatened Michigan's con- trol of the All-Sports Champion- ship. Michigan State totaled the most championships with four, garnering the titles in both out- door and indoor track, wrestling. and cross country. Minnesota and Iowa each won two titles. the ground; defensive tackle Fred Grambeau who is already being boosted as a possible All- America; experienced lineback- er Tom Kee; offensive linemen Paul Seymour, Jim Coode, and Curtis Tucker. And leading the impressive sophomore crop are quarterback Dennis Franklin, speedster tail- back Gil Chapman, linebacker Steve Strinko. The rushing attack again pro- mises to be explosive in power and deep in talent with Shut- tlesworth, Alan Walker, Chap- man and Harry Banks. It remains to be seen, how- ever, whether or not the Wol- verines have finally developed a passing attack - any passing attack. Last year, first Kevin Casey and later Tom Slade handled the quarterbacking du- ties but neither produced much of an aerial game. This sea- son Schembechler's choice will probably come from among Slade, Casey, Franklin, or let- terman Larry Cipa. In order to put last year's successful season in perspective, one must go back a few years, back to when football around here was just a cut above the stuff fdished out in the Ivy leagues. In 1968 the Wolverines sur- prised everybody including themselves by going 8-2? mostly behind the running of Ron Johnson. But the new Michigan athletic director Don Canham was seeking a more permanent attachment to success, and in 1969 Bo Schembechler, from Miami of Ohio, was named the new Wolverine head coach. Few expected any immediate results from the young mentor, but the 1969 Wolverines went into the last regular season game with a respectable 7-2 record. Of course, no one ex- pected Michigan to be much competition for Ohio State in that last game, just getting close and insuring a Rose Bowl trip would be enough. But the Wolverines had other ideas. And before the afternoon was over, Michigan had upset the "Greatest College Team Ever" and enshrining them- selves forever in football lore. LAST YEAR was no differ- ent. In the opener against Northwestern, a battle - tested defense thwarted the Wildcats all day to give the slow-start- ing offense enough breathing room enroute to a 21-6 con- quest. Then the Wolverines really opened up. Taking on three mediocre teams at home, Vir- ginia, UCLA and Navy, Michi- gan romped 56-0, 38-0 and 46-0 respectively. Then it was over to East Lansing for a show- down with Moo U., and despite muffing some excellent scor- ing opportunities, the Wolver- ines powered to a very satisfy- ing 24-13 victory.
