Those boredom freaks.. .
T ey're at it again
john papanek
IF A CERTAIN routund sports writer thinks that Saturday's 42-0
was a big bore, he should have picked up his royal
hindness and moved.
He should have left the warmth and dryness of the press box,
and ventured forth to where the games are never boring-the
stands.
I don't know anyone who thinks that the game was as big a
bore as he did, in fact most people thought seeing Michigan play
the kind of devastating game it played Saturday was damned
exciting.
Of course a 42-0 game could never approach the excite-
ment of a 20-17 win over Purdue, or a 10-7 squeaker over
Ohio State. But if the people who come, come expecting to
see Michigan blow out their weaker opponents like Minnesota,
how can they be bored when their team does just that?
As for all the people who began to walk out in the third
quarter when the score was 35-0, well even as Bo Schem-
bechler himself put it yesterday, "Hell, if it's 35-0 and it's
raining, I'd walk out too, wouldn't you?"
That's it, exactly. Those people who walked out saw just
what they came to see, and by the third quarter, with poorer
weather prospects ahead, they got up and headed for the exits.
I'd call them satisfied, not bored.
There is something about watching a football game from a
press box that can make a writer insensitive to the emotion of
the game, supplied partly by the crowd. Sometimes this is good;
it allows a writer to write objectively and not be influenced by
any fans' delerium.

NIGHT EDITOR:
RICHARD STUCK
Lions' linebacker Mike Lucci re-j
covered at the Cowboys 18.
Landry rushed eight yards on a
keeper, but then it got sticky. Four
running plays made only eight
yards before the running quarter-
back slammed the final two yards
for a touchdown to cut the Dallas
lead to 14-7.
Morton's brilliant first half con-
tinued as the Cowboys stormed
back with a 66-yard march to make
it 21-7. Walt Garrison gained 23
yards in four carries. Then Morton
hit Mike Montgomery with a 27-
yard screen pass to the Detroit
one. Montgomery, taking over for
Hill, plunged the final yard for the
score with 2:16 left in the half.
Detroit made the final seconds
count. Earl McCullough threw a
23-yard pass to Charlie Sanders on
what started as a reverse play.
Then, Landry hit Altie Taylor ,over
the middle and the speedster shot
to the sidelines on a 40-yard touch-
down play. Dallas tried a 49-yard
field goal in the final minute but
Fritsch's kick was wide to the
right.
Detroit continued to nibble away
up
L onS
at the Dallas lead in the third
quarter. Landry and tight end San-
ders hooked up on a 35-yard pass
and the Lions moved deep into
Cowboy territory, but the Dallas
defense stiffened and Errol Mann
kicked a 17-yard field goal to make
the score 2117.
As the third quarter ended, rain
began pouring through the 1-acre
opening in the Texas Stadium.
The Cowboys put the game away
with an impressive 76-yard drive in
10 plays in the fourth quarter.
Morton hit Fugett with a 19-yard
pass to set up his third touchdown
pass of the game. He picked up a
Lion blitz and found Montgomery
open on the left sideline. The pass
and run for the score covered 35
yards.
Detroit made the final score 28-
24 when Landry passed to Larry
Walton for 21 yards and a touch-
down with 1:36 remaining on the
clock.
Season tickets for Michigan
basketball and hockey seasons
are on sale entitling the Univer-
sity's faculty, staff and students
to reduced rates for both sports.
Although regular reserve ticket
prices are $36, staff and faculty
general admission tickets for the
18-game hockey schedule a r e
$18, students $9.
The sale of student basketball
season tickets will be announced
later.
But it can be had, too. Especially when the writer has
been in so many press boxes for so many games that he
forgets what a large part the crowd plays. Especially at
Michigan football games.
It's hard to substantiate, but from traveling to other
stadia, in and out of the Big Ten, nowhere does the crowd
come to the games for pure enjoyment more than a Michigan
crowd.
In other places, they drink and maybe smoke some dope, but
at Michigan, there is an interaction within the crowd and between
the crowd and the people on the field that makes games in
Michigan Stadium unique.
Saturday, for instance, I was talking with Dave Pedersen,
sports editor of the Minnesota Daily. I told him about the Home-
coming celebrations: the sock hop, the bizzarre parade, the weird
things that generally go on in the stadium, and he was quite
amazed. At Minnesota, Homecoming is dead, he told me. They
didn't bother to change it into something fun, they just let it die.
Somehow, the sight of gymnastic coach and alumni cheer-
leader Newt Loken being passed up the stands rump for rump
with an attractive (in MCP standards) Minnesota cheerleader
is a sign that the people in the stands are anything but bored.
And sure Whiskey the dog got a big roar when she scored
a 90-yard touchdown. After all, it's a DOG pushing a football
with its NOSE! If that doesn't deserve a big cheer, neither
does Jimi Hendrix playing the guitar with his teeth.
Meanwhile, the "boring" accusations are starting to baffle
Schembechler and his team. "My players think I'm nuts the way
I talk about these other teams, and then we go out and beat
them," Bo says. "When I see Colorado coming off that big win
over Oklahoma and then losing to Missouri, I really get scared."
So Bo makes sure that his players are ready for each and
every game. "Our team has not gotten down by looking ahead
too far," Bo said Saturday. "We use a goal system to keep the
players up all the time."
And this year's biggest goal,, which looms larger and
larger every week, is a possible showdown for the mythical
but ultimately prestigous National Championship with South-
ern Cal in the 1973 Rose Bowl.
That thought is far back in Bo's mind, but it's there. And he
will never sacrifice a chance to be the best in favor of "enter-
taining" the fans with some kind of wide-open bomb-throwing
Come on. Being number one, now THAT would be exciting.
