Down to the wire By Don MacLochian 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." Texas Aggies buried Mich.

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. ,. I 5 .
