Defense stalls A&M.0
.. MSUB threatens air raid
TIHE MICHIGAN DEFENSE successfully contained the wishbone last
Saturday in the 41-3 trouncing of Texas A&M. The wishbone attack was
something the Wolverines had to adjust to - and they did just that.
"Our defense really played well," said Bo Schembechler at his weekly
press luncheon yesterday. "We just had really fine performances by every-
one on defense."
Round One is over for the Blue defenders. The Michigan State passing
attack looms ahead. The same defense that iced th Aggie offense must ad-
jist to a team that may throw the ball 40 times.
The quick defensive line can't concentrate on a sweep to Curtis Dickey
or a draw to George Woodard. The Aggie pass offense was weak, and when a
team stays on the ground against Michigan it is running up against the
Blue's strong point - a quick, aggressive defense accustoned to stopping
the rush.
"No offense like the wishbone can move unless you throw the ball,"
Schenbechler said. "His (A&M quarterback David Walker) statistics in-
dicated he could throw well but I don't care what type of offense you've got -
you gotta be able to throw some."
Weill, the Spartans can and do throw the football. Michigan State oach
Darryl Rogers likes to mix up his attack with an occasional run and frequent
passing. Instead of a big fullback churning up the middle, the Blue defense
will see the pigskin overhead most of the time.
"I'm not concerned that it's going to be an aerial game - I know it is
going to be one and we are going to prepare for it," Schembechler said. "We
haven't met a Michigan State passing attack yet and this is a good team.
Anytime you play a team with the capability of throwing the football they
c n have a big game."
Michigan State quarterback Eddie Smith has three fine targets in Edgar
,Wilson, Mark Brammer and Kirk Gibson. Rogers will rely on Smith's ac-
curacy to test the Michigan secondary - and not on the rushing of tailback
Leroy McGee. The Spartans are 2-2 on the season but gave both Notre Dame
and Washington State a scare.
"Michigan State is a.good offensive team with the potential to generate a
lot of points fast," Schembechler said. "They just haven't done it yet except
for the second half against Wyoming (scoring 34 points). All the ingredients
are there.
"Smith's timing is exceptionally good," Schembechler continued."'He's
on the money but they have dropped some touchdown passes."
In addition to preparing his squad for a passing game, Schembechler
must charge up his players for the second consecutive week. It so happened
that the Texas A&M game developed into a very important one. Both teams
were nationally ranked in the top five and the game was regionally televised.
Michigan's pride was on the line.
"It was the biggest intersectional victory we have ever had," Schem-
bechler said.
And Michigan State had a very big game of its own down in South Bend.
But no games mean more to Schembechler and his team than the ones
that collectively determine the conference title. Schembechler insisted
before the season even started that the Big Ten games are the biggest and
most important.
Currently, the Spartans are tied with Michigan in the Big Ten race. The
game is on the road. Getting up for the second straight week will be tough for
both teams.
"It is a big problem," Schembechler said. "Texas A&M won a big one
before coming up to our place. They were seemingly ready to play but as the
game went on I felt it going more and more our way."
"The ,MiTe igan State game is a very important one - we make no bones"
about that," he continued. "It has always been a big game and always will
be."

New season
awaits Icers
By BOB MILLER
The Hosts of Yost are back on ice.
While the main focus of attention in
college athletics right now is on
football, the Michigan hockey team is
quietly preparing for the opening of
its season, October 21.
BETWEEN NOW and then, Michi-
gan coach Dan Farrell will consider
which of the 32 skaters in camp will
fill the 20 available spots on the
varsity.
Even before the first selection is'
made though, the entire squad goes
through a series of daily practices to
help them get back in shape.
The team doesn't hop into their
skates immediately, but instead,
does various running and stretching
exercises. This is called land condi-
tioning and involves running five
miles in under 35 minutes and
running the 440 with a 90 second rest
followed by another 440, etc., for 2%
miles.
LAND CONDITIONING begins as
soon as the players get back to school
and lasts for about two weeks.
After that, the team hits the ice for
practice for the rest of the season.
A Michigan hockey practice is a
colorful event. The skaters wear
different color jerseys, three of a
kind. The trio with the same color
tops are on the same line and do the
passing and shooting drills together.
AT TIMES, up to three different
groups are doing drills under the
direction of Farrell and assistant
coach Doug Hinton.
One drill has the defensemen
scrambling for the puck to clear it
ahead quickly to the forwards, a
second drill is designed for the
forwards to skate the length of the ice1
passing the puck between them,
taking a shot on the goalie when they
reach the other end.
The "suicide" drill for the players
is the final drill after the scrimmage
is over. The players line up at one end
and skate from the goal line to the
blue line and back, then to the red
line and back, then line up to do it all
over again.
AFTER PRACTICE, a smiling
Farrell commented that there was
only one injury keeping a player
from skating, but he will be back on
the ice tomorrow. Farrell w a s
pleased at how the practice went and
the progress being made by his
Wolverines.
"Hey, how did you like that
scrimmage?" he beamed, "that was
a lightning-paced scrimmage.
"We're right on schedule," Farrell
said, "we'll be a good team, but we
have a lot to do yet."
SLAPSHOTS ... The Dekers Club
is sponsoring a bus trip down to
Bowling Green, Friday, October 21.
The price is $9.50 a person and
includes a ticket to the game (other-,
wise the game is a sell-out) and
round trip transportation (the bus
leaves from Yost's parking lot at
5:45). The deadline for reservations
is October 7, and is open to the public.
A little known fact is that the Dekers
Club has a student rate for $7.50.
One of the Club's most popular at-
tractions is the Blue Line Luncheon,
held at noon at the Crystal House
Motel, corner of Washtenaw and
Huron Parkway. The luncheon in-
cludes an informal talk by Dan
Farrell and the visiting coach. On
October 21, Farrell will show a
30-minute color film of highlights of
last season's Michigan - Wisconsin
NCAA hockey championship game.
The hockey team will have an
intrasquad game on Friday, October
14; at Yost with a 7:30 starting time.
Tickets are one dollar each at the
door. The following night, the Wol-
verines will play an exhibition game
with Michigan State at East Lansing.
The game starts at 7:30 and admis
sion is charged.
