The Michigan Daily-Saturday, September 17, 1977-Page 9 Michigan teeth sharp for devilish Duke By SCOTT LEWIS After nine months of dormancy, Michigan Sta- dium is again ready to open its gates and cater to another 100,000-plus crowd today when the Wol- verines host the unreknowned Duke Blue Devils. A team with enough talent to keep the fans' in- terest for a few minutes at least, Duke should catapult itself right up to the ranks of the other hapless non-conference opponents who have crawled out of Michigan Stadium in the past few years. NOT THAT THE MICHIGAN coaching staff would have you believe such truths. "We thoroughly respect them," lauded de- fensive coordinator Bill McCartney. "They have a very strong front line. With five starters back on offense they will be tough. We're very respectful of the ability of their quarterback Mike Dunn. He's a big play guy. If anybody on Duke's squad will pester Mich- igan, Dunn will be the man. Last Saturday against East Carolina, which Duke lost 17-16 on a missed two-point conversion, Dunn hit 14 of 22 passes for 190 total yards. In addition, he rushed for 65 yards. "I think the secret to beating Duke is stopping Mike Dunn," said Bo Schembechler. "He has run and passed for almost 2,800 yards in his freshman and sophomore seasons, and he led the nation in scoring for quarterbacks last year with 80 points. "If we can stop him, we should be okay. If we don't, we'll be in trouble," he concluded. DUKE WILL ALSO HAVE the typical incen- tives that any other teams who play the nation's top-ranked power have. "Duke will be sky-high, since they're getting a crack at the number one team," said offensive backfield coach Don Nehlen. "They'll be playing with every ounce of strength they have." "Duke will attack us by running right at our strength, and by mixing in a few play-action passes," said McCartney. "Illinois didn't attack us, they tried to finess us. Duke presents a differ- ent type of challenge to our defense." The Wolverines, accordingly, will make those changes necessary to ensure a solid victory over the Blue Devils - none. "We'll still be trying to do what we've been doing, and do them better," promised Nehlen. AFTER A SEVERE outbreak of injuries during pre-season practice, the plague seems to have subsided. The status on offensive linemen Bill Dufek and Steve Nauta remains the same - out for the first half of the season with broken legs. Linebacker Bob Hollway is out indefinitely with a pulled hamstring muscle. For statistic freaks, running back Harlan Huckleby currently leads the week-old Big Ten in rushing and kickoff returns. Punter John Ander- son paces the league in his specialty, and the team heads the rest of the Big Ten in both total offense and total defense. Unfortunately for Michigan's individual statistic leaders, however, the first-stringers will probably see a bit less action than last week, as Bo should be clearing the bench fairly early.

Amidst the catcalls from critics who scoff at the conference's non-league efforts of late, eight of the ten schools face outside rivals on the gridiron this week. And with a decent showing this afternoon conference director Wayne Duke could quiet those who profess 'Big Ten schools can only play Big Ten football.' Ohio State and Minnesota face each other in the only conference action, and both passed their non- conference tests last week. The Buckeyes will take the field without the services of tailback Jeff Logan and Ricky Johnson. Both players left the game last week with ankle injuries. Ray Griffin (brother of two-time Heismann winner Archie) will start at safety as usual. Only in an emergency will Griffin be moved to tailback. "If we are going to beat Ohio State, we are going to have to cut down on turnovers," said Gopher coach Cal Stoll. "Last week against Western (Michigan) we made six turnovers and that is why the game was so close." Even without Logan and Johnson it could be a long afternoon for the Golden Gophers. Leading the non-conference line-up is the Michigan State-Washington State contest. Last week the Cougars upset 15th-ranked Nebraska, 19-10. Powering Washington State's at- tack is passer par excellence Jack Thompson. Last year he set a Pac-8 record with 20 touchdown passes, and he is sure to be gunning for more today. Across the field, Spartan quarter- back Eddie Smith will undoubtedly have the same idea. Coming off a fine aerial effort against Purdue last week, Smith will again be looking for All-'Big-Ten receivers Kurt Gibson and Mike Brammer. The big surprise in East Lansing last week was the Spartan rushing effort. Fullback Jim Earley gained 102 yards, including a 46-yard run which set up a Spartan score. Nevertheless, Michigan State is figured a 12-point underdog going into the game. Out in Iowa City, the game the nation [or at least the Iowans] has been waiting for has arrived. Re- kindling the rusty rivalry between Iowa and Iowa State has brought furor to the state's football fanatics. Although the Cyclones are favored heavily, Iowa has the hometown advantage and a game this spirited could produce any outcome. Down in Bloomington, the Hoosiers host Louisiana State. After a 30-14 loss to Wisconsin last week, Indiana is looking to get into the win column. The Hoosiers however, are plagued with injuries which hinders their efforts. Joining standout tailback Mike Harkrader are defensive ends Carl Smith and Greg McIntosh. Illinois Coach Gary Moeller will be looking for his first victory as a Big Ten coach today as the Illini face off against Missouri. Missouri dropped its opener last week to USC. Northwestern travels to Tempe, Arizona to tangle with the Arizona State Sun Devils for the first time. Last week the Wildcats lost to conference foe Iowa, 24-0. "The team must develop consisten- cy on offense and defense," said coach John Pont. "We played well despite the loss." Arizona .State is sparked by split end John Jefferson,swho hasbsnared 122 passes for 1912 yards during his college career. The Sun Devils also have two highly-touted defensive players in linebacker Tim Peterson and defen- sive end Al Harris. Wisconsin takes on Northern Il- linois at Madison. The .Huskies have been beaten soundly by both Eastern Michigan and Louisville in identical 39-0 scores. The Badgers on the other hand, have a powerful offense led by tailback Ira Matthews. Despite a sprained ankle, Matthews is expect- ed to start. Joining Matthews in the backfield is quarterback Anthony Dudley, who completed 8 of 16 passes last week for 108 yards. The final game on the slate pits Purdue and Ohio University. The Boilermakers will be led by freshman sensation M'ark Heurr- mann. Heurrmann camp. off the bench -last week and. ,threw 20 completions for 282 yar4ds against Michigan State. Split end Reggie Arnold snared seven of those passes for 107 yards and teammate Ray Smith caught six for 108 yards. Carew swings to impossible dream / ; CHICAGO (AP) - "The season is just about over," says the Minnesota Twins' Rod Carew, and so is his chase for a .400 batting average. By no means is he tailing off as the season winds down. CAREW GOT two hits in five at bats Thursday night when the Twins defeated the Chicago White Sox, 7-2. But his average remained at .381. He was 10 for 19 in the four-game Chicago series and extended his hitting streak to 12 games, but added only five points to his average. The statistics indicate just, how tough it is. Carew has 218 hits in 572 at bats and has averaged exactly four official trips in 143 games. If he continues to average four at bats in the Twins' remaining 15 games, a total of 60 trips, he'll need 35 hits, an average of .583, to finish the season at .400. THAT WOULD give him 253 hits, four shy of the major league record. "I'll have to get three or four hits a game. If it's going to happen, it1 happen. I'm not going to worry about it," Carew said, adding that he didn't feel the pressure earlier in the season when he was batting more than .400. HE SAID he isn't tired this late 'n the season - "not in this kind pf weather." The last two games in Chicago were played in cool, autumn- like temperatures. He also said he feels strong "except for my hands. I sprained my wrist. But otherwise I feel fine." :z:: XZ. FREE INSTRUCTIONS POCKET BILLIARDS WEDNESDAY, Sept.21 3:30and 7:30 pm at the Michigan Union McGuire first in Blue harrier intra-team race, Sweazy second By ERNIE DUNBAR If Mike McGuire continues to run like he did in yesterday's intraquad five mile time trial, the rest of the Michigan cross country schedule should be a breeze. Running by himself for most of the race, McGuire left his closest com- petitor 44 seconds behind, as he whip- ped.around the University Golf course in 25:34. The time trial capped the second full week of conditioning for Michigan's harriers, with eight days remaining before the official season begins. And if McGuire can improve any between now and the Springbank Inter- national Road Races on September 25, his competitors are in for a tough race... "I'm really happy with the way I raced today considering we had an in- tense week of training this past week," McGuire commented after the race. "I can see the week-to-week progress from my training and I think I'm where I should be at this point in the season." Returning to competition after sitting out last year with a bout with mononucleosis, McGuire said he still has "a degree of apprehension" about racing too hard at the beginning of the season. "I got a good thing going now, but I'm not going to bust my butt this early," McGuire said. Even though McGuire won by a con- vincing margin, the rest of the Wolverine harriers were by no means shabby. Doug Sweazy came back from a slow first mile to grab second place in 26:18, while sophomore Dan Heikkinen was taking third in 26:32. Last year's number one man, Greg Meyer, made a post-graduation ap- pearance to take fourth place at 26:40, with Steve Elliott following in 26:57. The freshman contingent of Bill Weidenbach, Gary Carter, and Gary Parenteau claimed the next three slots with times of 26:57, 26:58 and 27:01. Rounding out the field were Bob Scheper in ninth at 27:06, Jay Anstaett in tenth in 27:17 and Mark Foster with a clocking of 27:59 to take eleventh. Junior Jack Sinclair (bad cold) failed to complete the course for the second week in a row. Senior Bill Donakowski also failed to make it to the finish line due to cramps, but neither runner con- cerned coach Warhurst. "You see guys like Sinclair and Donakowski out here today and if you hadn't seen them run before you'd have to wonder about them," said Warhurst. "But come the Big Ten meet you know Donakowski will be right near the top and Sinclair won't be far behind." Comparing last week's time trial to yesterday, Warhurst said, "We were all strung out last week and I didn't like that. Today we had a group of about five guys cross the line together after McGuire. That kind of depth will really carry us," Warhurst added. One of the early season surprises has been the races of Doug Sweazy. After placing a strong fourth in last week's four mile time trial, and taking second yesterday, the junior from Gar- den City was naturally pleased. "I've been tired all this week from our training," said Sweazy. "But my endurance is better all the time. With a little rest I should be ready to go." The harvest they reaped this year was rather grim. Pqverty and hunger and ig- norance seem to be their major commodity. There must be some- thing we can do to correct this balance of payment. And there is something. Some- thing called the Peace Corps. - It'll never save the world. That's an illusion better left at home. But a small piece, just a tiny piece, that's been done before. 2,000 wells in the get from that? The rewards, they're just too many to count. A language, a cultural exchange, a mutual giving of knowledge. Of course there's all those and more. But how do you measure pride? And what's satisfaction bringing on the open market? And happiness, that ought to be worth something. Ask any Peace Corps worker who they did the most favors for. The answers seem to come back pretty much the tjcibctberit
