Sparked by Neil Spiralny's runner-up fin- ish the golfers did a great dea better than they were expected to do. Last year. however. was a somewhat discouraging one for the linksmen. Starting tourna- ments strongly. the Wolverines somehow faded by the final 18 holes. The Kepler Open in Co- lumbus and the Miami Open in Miami, Fla.. were two such meets. But Spitalny's finish. in :hich he shot a record 66 for one round, salvaged the season for the golfers and pointed the way towards a bright future for Michigan golf. This year. with the seasoning of top players, coaching addi- tions, and some anticipated rule changes, the Wolverines stand in fine stead to improve upon their performance of last year and to make a serious run at the Big Ten championship. The rule change involves the site of the championships. Usual- ly hosted by a member school. a move is afoot to transfer the tournament to a neutral site. As Michigan Coach Bill New- comb explains. 'The home course advantage in the Big Ten is so great that a neutral site is in order." A decision of the Big Ten coaches is needed to ratify the proposed change. but a three man committee to find alternative sites has been ap- pointed and :his augers well f~ :he change According to Newcomib. wI is a panel member. the centra nty cf Chicago to Big Ten schoo gives -: a definite role in t.: choice for the neutral spot., Newcomb feels that the pr posed change will definmtely ir prove :he Wolverines chances , Big Ten gold. "We have as goo a squad as any one else. 7 mentor says., , The squad which Newcom heads this year is a seasone one.

Up in Minnesota the next Saturday the Wolverines kept possession of the Little Brown Jug with a 35- win over the Gophers. Finally it was down to Pur- due where a Dana Coin field goal in the last minute gave Mlichigan a 20-17 thriller, a conference championship, and New Year's in Pasadena. But the Wolverines were out after a perfect season and re- venge: and the next week they got both. It didn't come easy however as a determined Ohio State defense kept Michigan out of the endzone until with two minutes left Bill Taylor scor- ed on a 23 yard end run to end to send the largest foot- ball crowd ever to see a game, 104.016, into pandemonium. But perhaps more memorable was Buckeye coach Woody Hayes' tantrum a few min- utes later when the referees; refused to call Tom Darden for pass interference. Out onto the field he rushed to protest, and moments later, after being hauled back to the sidelines, he tore up a nearby down - marker and then punted the remains on- to the field. Alas. nothing could save poor Woody and the Wolverines emerged with a 10- victory and an unde- teated regular season. However. 11 games doth 'not a season make these days and so it was Michigan versus Stan- ford in the Rose Bowl and the . than sharp looking Wol- verines were upended by the Indians on a last minute field goal. The always invincible defense was pierced by a weapon the Wolverines had seen little of during the year - the forward pass and Don Bunce was able to lead Stanford to a last-min- ute field goal for their one point victory in its last game as Indians. Over the course of the regu- lar season Michigan's defense led the nation in defensing the score, was second in total yard- age allowed and first in rush- ing defense. And despite the loss of starters Taylor, Tom. Darden, Mike Keller, and Toni Beckman the defense aaain should be the key to the Wol- verine fortunes, LETTERMAN Greg Ellis and Walt Sexton will share the mid- dle guard duties in Sch-mbech- ler's 5-2-4 alignment. The tack- les will be experienced Dave Gallagher and Grambeau and Larry Johnson, Don Eaton, and Clint Spearman are prime can- didates to hold down the end spots Behind linebackers Kee and Strinko will be a defensive backfield combining experience in Randy Logan and Dave El- liott and youth in Tom Drake and Dave Brown. There was nothing wrong with an offense that last year totaled 409 points in 11 games and surpass -400 yards 5 times but a little variety in the addi- tion of a passing game would be a useful diversion. Cipa is thought to have the best arm of the quarterback candidates but Franklin and Slade may be bet- tel' field generals, The choice of quarterback may may be a crucial one for Schembechler but he was able to produce a conference cham- pion last year without one, so maybe this yea' . . . if he has to . . . he can do it again, You're Sure to be Winner Buying Stucaent Supplies PP super-sophs add luster as cagers quest for court glori for the Daily Who knows but in :n ain be wri ing :.tor'e:. about the rise and cker playin~g on campus.
