Duffy Daugherty .. .
on his way home?
- Bill Alterman....-

IF LOSING the big one is tough, then losing consistently is even
tougher-just ask Michigan State coach Duffy Daugherty:
For the third year in a row the Spartans fell before the
Wolverines. In itself that would be no disgrace, but the Spartaris
have also lost four in a row this year and the cries of "Dump
Duffy" are already reverberating around the East Lansing cam-
pus.
Never mind that three of those opponents, Michigan, USC
and Notre Dame, were in the Top Ten, even the youngest of
Spartan supporters can recall with pleasure the 1965 and '66
teams, which with the likes of George Webster and Bubba Smith
ended up first and second in the nation respectively.
Spartan supporters have seen their team plummet while at
the same time the upstarts over in Ann Arbor burst onto the
national scene under the tutelage of Coach Bo Schembechler.
They hunger for national prominence and they hunger for
Daugherty's scalp.
Duffy knows it too. Nobody mentioned it to Duffy after the
game but nobody had to. The normally boisterous coach looked
shattered. Backed up against a post with his head down, he spoke
as if in the presence of the dead.
Not that he wasn't optimistic, "I thought our team played
extremely well," he murmured, "We're a fine football team."
And in fact Michigan State did play well. Except for a few
breaks the score might easily have been reversed. They had one
touchdown called back and another thwarted on a fumble into
the end zone.
But Duffy knows there is a world of difference between near-
victory and victory. Schools like Michigan, Michigan State and
Ohio State do not spend millions of dollars annually just to see
their team come in second best. Four years ago Michigan got rid
of Bump' Elliott. Despite an 8-2 record in 1968, Michigan was
looking for a consistent winner and Elliott, though a fine coach,
was not the man. Michigan switched to Bo Schembechler and the
Wolverines grid fortunes have been flourishing ever since.
But in those same four years Daugherty has seen his team
bounce through four mediocre seasons. Last year the Spartans
got off to a bad start, and the "Dump Duffy" movement grew.
Had it not been for late season upset victories over Purdue
and Ohio State, the movement might have even succeeded.
This year's team has gotten off to an even worse start and
no amount of close calls and bad breaks is going to still the
voices of those out after his blood.
Thus Duffy knew that nothing he would say after yesterday's
game would make any difference. Nevertheless, in a voice bare-
ly audible three feet away, the Spartan mentor expressed pleas-
ure at his team's performance:
"I'm always disappointed when we lose, but it is especially
hard to take when we could have won. We played our best game
of the season today. Our defense has been sound right along
and our offense was much better today."
"I told our players that they should take satisfaction in that
we have a good team and can play well for the rest of the sea-
son. Except for the (Michigan) drive on the field goal and the
(Michigan) end run, our defense was good the entire day."
"We prepared well for the game, we had a great game plan
and we played well. The two touchdown chances we lost should
have been enough towin."
Bo Schembechler for one would probably just as soon forget
how .close MSU came to pulling it out. Immediately after Michi-
gan's field goal drive in the second quarter the Spartans came
roaring back and appeared to take the lead on a 24 yard touch-
down run by quarterback Mark Niesen. But somebody, nobody
seems to know who, was detected clipping for MSU and the
play was called back on the Spartans only penalty of the entire
afternoon.
Daugherty, for one, seemed perplexed by the call. "I didn't
K see it," he said, "but they (the referees) called it clipping. In any
event the runner had already gone by."
In the third quarter the Spartans were driving again and
had reached the Michigan 7 when a driving tackle by Wolverine
safety Dave - Brown separated the MSU halfback of the same
name from the ball. It bounced crazily into the endzone where
Craig Mutch recovered for Michigan.
Even so the tough Spartan defense kept the Wolverines
bottled un and only Gil Chanman's late burst down the side-

Be it overworked bombast or
not, a Michigan - Michigan State
game is a season in itself. And
that's why Bo Schembechler was
not his usual somber, modest-in-
victory self yesterday.
He was elated, with his moon-
face bright red and his eyes a-,
twinkling. A 10-0 victory for a na-
tional powerhouse like Michigan
may notabe overly impressive to
the AP and UPI pollsters, but to
Bo a win over the Spartans is
causei for joy.
"That was a hell of a game,
-wasn't it?" he chortled. "Geez,
that's v.hat this game is all about.
I even enjoyed watching it my-
,self, even though I wasn't sure we'
were going to win."

Later, Schembechler defended
the play. "I don't call that a tricky
play. I call that sound football. We
knew from studying their punt rush
that we could make the fake work.
That was a big play."
But when it comes right to the
winning of the game, Schembechler
was once again lavish in his praise
for Jim Young's defense. "Our de-
fense is just phenomenal. That Jim
Young (defensive coordinator) is
super."
The Chapman touchdown and the
fake punt were only two of the ex-
citing moments of the game. The
rest came when Michigan State
had the ball.
The Wolverine defense was beat-
en sporadically by a well executed
Spartan wishbone option, and the
Greenies did roll up 176 yards rush-
ing an impressive total against
Michigan. But most importantly,
the Wolverine goal line was never
violated, thanks to some heroic
touchcdown saving plays, mostly
by Michigan's secondary.
Sophomore Dave Brown thwarted
the Spartant twice, first with a pass
interception on the Michigan seven-
yard line to end a 76-yard MSU
drive in the second quarter. Later,

in the third quarter, with Michigan
still up only 3-0, Brown met Spar-
tan Dave Brown (no relation) on
his way into Michigan's endzone.
Wolverine Brown threw a bone-
crushing tackle at Spartan Brown,
and the latter coughed up the foot-
ball. It rolled free in the endzone
until Craig Mutch smothered it for
a touchback.
Stickmen stomp
The Michigan lacrosse team,
made up for the gridders poor
offensive showing. with. a
smashing 16-11 victory over
Purdue yesterday on Ferry
Field. The Wolverines rolled to
a 14 - 2 lead at which point
Coach Bob Kaman put in the
second and third stringers. The
stickmen finish the fall season
with an Oct. 28 home match
against Wayne State.
The other two-thirds of Michi-
gan's secondary played as well as
Brown, prompting Schembechler to
express his pleasure. "It's ironic
about our secondary," he said.
"Here are three guys (Brown, Roy
Burks, and Barry Dotzauer) who
weren't even supposed to play this
year, and they turn in a game like

this one. That's just tremendous."
Burks and Dotzauer, playing for
the injured Tom Drake and Dave
Elliott, teamed up with the rest of
Wolverine defense to hold the Spar-
tans to zero passing yardage (0-10).
And Dotzauer also saved a sure
touchdown with a flying intercep-
tion late in the third quarter.
"We were in a zone, and they
ran a play fake to the short side,"
Dotzauer recalls.. "Burk's man
faked a block, so Roy went up.
Then his man went deep and I was
able to pick him up." The pass was
on target for Mike Jones, but Dot-
zauer dove in from the left side,
caught the ball, and crashed to the
turf.
"I was so proud of ouru defen-
sive backs," coach Young said.
"You know, we have the 'Victors
Club' for the champions of the
week. And none of our defensive
backs have ever made it the week
of the .Michigan State game. So
this week Frank Gusich (last sea-
son's wolf back and defensive cap-
tain) sent a letter to the defensive
backs to remind them. And sure
enough all three (Burks, Dotzauer,
and Brown) will make it this
week."
Hail to the Victors . . . and all
that jazz.

who easily beat Simpson. However,
Franklin's attempt was overthrown

points on the boards early in the

Heater who slanted off right tack-

the ball loose and Heater's second
fumble of the game was recovered
by Spartan linebacker Gail Clark,
who plagued the W o l v e r i n e s
throughout the game, making 12
tackles.

quarter, Michigan still maintained
its narrow 3-0 lead but the fans
were still at the edges of their
seats. Early in the quarter, the
Spartans drove to the Michigan 49
where they faced a fourth and six.
Simpson was called in to punt and
boomed the ball out of the end-
zone.
The following Michigan d r i v e
went nowhere and Dotzauer punted
back to Simpson who fumbled the
ball which was recovered by fel-
low Spartan, John Shinsky, at mid-
field. Anxieties began to rise to
fever pitch as Michigan State
moved the ball to the 41 of Michi-
gan, where they faced a fourth
and one. Daugherty elected to go
for the first down but halfback
Mike Holt took a pitchout from
Neisen and Spearman nabbed him
for no gain. Momentum was again
on the side of the Wolverines.
Inspired by the defensive stand,
Schembechler must of thought the

to "Mercury" Chapman on an end
around, and with a super block by
tackle Paul Seymour (shades of
Fritz Seyferth last year against
OSU) the - split end galloped 58
yards down the left sidelines for
the score, 6:28 into the period.
The 10-0 lead inspired the Wol-
verine defense for the remainder
of the game and it appeared that
all the steam was gone from the
Spartan attack. The defense, which
seems to improve each successive
week allowed Michigan State just
176 yards in the game, all on the
ground.
After the game, Schembechler
was asked whether this was the
finest game his team has played
so far this season and the mentor.
joyfully replied, .This is the best
game because any time Michigan
beats Michigan State, it is the best
game Mich iga n can possibly
have."
