QB Jones leads LSU
to national grid status
UNSUNG GRID RESERVES
By MIKE LASH
Attention, all college football
nuts: Wondering who this week's
superstar is, the action-packed
glamor boy whom the Associated
Press designates as its National
Back of the Week? Try Bert
Jones.
Uh, better take that again, eh:
Bert who?
Unless you're one of those all-
knowing, brainy-type football
freaks who plunges into every
sports magazine he can get hold
of, the name probably doesn't
ring a bell. But to the NCAA
football coaches of America, Bert
Jones is a reality . . . and a
threatening one at that.
His devastating aerial attack
and daring runs turned Auburn's
normally brutal defensive unit
into a helpless pack of lost sheep
last Saturday as the Bayou Ben-
gals strangled the upset-happy
forces of Shug Jordan, 35-7.
"BLUNTLY SPEAKING, they
just beat the hell out of us," was
Jordan's 'somewhat frustrated re-
action to the massacre. "Teams
differ from Saturday to Saturday,
but on this night LSU was the
best team we've seen in some
time.''
The victory was the Tigers'
fifth without a loss this, season,
and pushed them up a notch in
the weekly college grid polls.
They are now rated seventh
ahead of Notre Dame, and are
presently riding the nation's
longest win streak at nine.
"He looked like a true All-
American," said LSU coachj
Charlie McClendon of his boy
Jones. "You might say he dotted
the I's and put the ball right on
the well all night."
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound senior
connected on 10 of 14 passes-
two were dropped and one was
purposely overthrown when his
receivers were covered--for 179
yards and three touchdowns, and
also was LSU's leading rusher
with 51 yards in eight carries,
including 'a seven-yard sweep
for the Tigers' first score.
HIS THREE TD tosses, all to'
flanker Gerald Kegley, enabled
Jones, son of former LSU and
pro star Dub Jones, to tie the
national record of 23 set back
in the early '50's by another
college and pro great-ever heard
of Y.A. Tittle?
Perhaps even more meaningful
in Jones' feat against Auburn
was that he did it against an un-
defeated and highly-ranked squad
that sported the best defense in
the rough-and-tough Southeastern
Conference. Jordan, of all people,
was especially impressed with
Jones' incredible showing.
"If anybody had told me be-
fore the game that LSU would
pass at will, I never would have
believed it," he commented later.
Maybe next time, huh, Shug?
Demo,
By RICH STUCK
The excitement of a fine Mich-
igan offensive display; the great-
ness of a Wolverine shutout.
They both are easily identifiable
and are beginning to look rather
commonplace these days. To
reach these peaks, however, the
squad goes through an extensive
amount of practice every day to
prepare for a Saturday clash.
As the first and second units
practice the plays that will bring
them glory in the game there is
another set of men who must be
the target of this preparation.
THESE DARING souls are af-
affectionally known as the
'demo squad.' With the tedium
and monotony that often comes
with a practice session, there are
different ways the players can
react to the situation.
For instance, the frontliners
must take it emotionally high,
being ready to go at every mo-
ment of every practice.
While on the other hand, it is
the demos who must keep them-
selves loose. One reason is that
they face the prospect of never
playing in a game until the score
has reached almost astronomical
proportions. To get your head
beat in every day requires not
only guts but in most cases a
very sharp sense of humor:
Reserve safety Doug Macken-
zie has his own little way of
breaking the practice monotony.
"You can tell when I'm feeling
good; I'll be running pass cuts
like a mad fool, running and
dodging like a pro." He and Dave
Brandon toss the ball around in
fun as the regulars go through
get
their other prescribed routines.
Another Mackenzie bit of hu-
mor was co-adopted by spare
wolfman Jim Johnston and was
incorporated into one of the prac-
tices. Johnston describes it thus:
"You have all seen films of
games and at one point or an-
other had them run backwards
for a good laugh. Well, one day
Doug and I tried to create our
own instant replay. As soon as
the play was over we went back
to our normal positions doing it
as though the play was being
run backwards." This even pro-
duced a few chuckles from the
coaching staff.
Sometimes it seems almost
too much for the demos to han-
dle. They have to go to meet-
ings at 2:00 in order to watch
films of a team they will never
play against. Then they go into
meetings, with their coach to
discuss the plays they will use
the following week - they won't
play against that team, either.
Mackenzie describes the men-
tal attitude well. "If you get
down on yourself constantly for
not playing, brother, you are go-
ing to be a nervous wreck. That's
why we try to stay loose out
there."
Even a freshman got into the
act this year. Because Coach
George Mans is a devout Nixon
man he is trying to enlist sup-
port among team members. Hav-
ing had a long talk the day be-
fore with frosh tackle Mike
Coyne, he thought he had anoth-
er vote in the bag until Coyne
showed up the next day with a
McGovern sticker on the back of
his helmet.
While game day is a cause for
nervousness and anxiety among
the heroes of the day, the re-
serves also have a set of thoughts
that they follow. During the
warmups before the game, they
are forced to stand alone by the
goalpost doing nothing - an em-
barrassing situation for them to
stand there in front of all those
fans while the others practice
their individual and collective
skills.
FULLBACK R I C K JEKEL
says that he- wears black polish
under his eyes, "to see the game
better from the bench and to
shield my eyes from the sun."
Some guys get their kicks on
the tunnel run before the game
starts. Jim Lyall always tries to
stay on top of the pile on the
sidelines longer than he did the
previous game. The last game
was especially a good- one for
"Wily", as he stayed on top the
longest and also added a record
jump in distance to his scrap-
book.
One of the funniest recollec-
tions is of last year's reserve
quarterback Jack McBride as he
ran from the tunnel. Larry Cipa
puts it aptly in saying "He al-
ways looked for me in the tunnel
and when he found me he chased
me until we got to the pile.
Then he would start beating me
up", Cipa laughed. "That's
why I always ran so fast onto
the field."
BRANDON RECALLS that
his childhood dream was to
score a touchdown in the Sta-
dium and then throw the ball
"about 80 rows up" (much to
the chagrin of those little men in
yellow who chase the balls).
Sub-center John Thomas says
his most embarrassing moment
comes "after the , game, and I
have to walk out (of the locker-
room) without a traveling blazer.
The people just look and shrug
with that 'so what' look."
So while the demo squad keeps
on taking those hard knocks dur-
ing the week and having a day
off on Saturday, they do not go
totally unnoticed. They are re-
spected by the regulars on the
team.
Co-captain Tom Coyle says "it
is a real credit to those guys
that they are even out there.
They've go so much desire. If
you could put their desire into a
player with a little more ability
or size, he would be an all-
America."
Taking their lumps, staying
loose, having a lot of heart; that
is what binds the demos togeth-
er. And although their chances
of playing are slim they stick it
out hoping for a shot to prove
themselves. And as Jekel com-
ically approaches the subject, he
realizes that "I know I'm not a
household name yet but it sure is
a challenge trying."

Gridde Pickings
In an amazing climax to a year-long toil of softball, the Hobart
Freaks destroyed those humbled jocks, Rudy's Raiders, 34-12 to claim
the all important third division championship in Intramural Play.
Celebrating in the locker room after the tense game, Hobart coach
David Peter had nothing but praise for his veteran team-a team that
has been together for three fruitless seasons.
"We finally did it. It was just super, super. Everyone did a great
job," rejoiced Peters.
Star of the game was Norman (Stormin') Beerbahm who made
incredible catch after incredible catch in left field denying the
Irowdy Raiders at least a dozen runs.
Beerham, nearly passed out on the floor, took a delectible bite from
his Mr. Pizza pizza and exclaimed, "Wow! I'd better get my Gridde
Pickings in so I can get another one of those goodies.'s
