!, October 8, 1977-The Michigan Daily WE'LL THROW 50 TIMES-STATE QB "su By KATHY HENNEGHAN 'here's more than just pride ams of roses at stake today. 'he real question is, "Who co ne with the Bunyan?" Bo Sc chler and his Michigan team; ir seventh straight possession, v rryl Rogers' Spartans haven't h ce 1969., Ls every football fan knows, Michigan, more than just a game! and omes hem- seek while lad it the Bunyan is the nickname of the most re- nowned gridjion prize in America - The Paul Bunyan-Governor of Michi- gan Trophy. THE TROPHY consists of a four-foot wooden statue of Paul (a legendary northern woods lumberjack, for you who were neglected as children) astride an axe, mounted on a five-foot stand. An "S" flag is on one side and an1 "M" flag on the other. Governor G. Mennen "Soapy" Wil- Hams first put the Bunyan into circula- tion in 1953, and the Spartans won it with a 14-6 victory. Well, that sure made Michigan Coach Benny Ooster- baan mad, and the next year Michigan won it back, 33-7. From that point on, most experts credit the Bunyan with making the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry everything it is today, with the Spar- tans toeing a 13-11 Bunyan competition lead. The struggle for the Bunyan is fraught with emotion. Just ask any Michigan senior what it means to de- fend the Bunyan for the fourth straight year. Unfortunately, none 'were avail- able for comment. Or ask any Spartan senior how it feels never to have seen the Bunyan in a tro- phy case at Jenison Fieldhouse. There just aren't words to describe it. EVEN THE NORMA LLY cal- loused Schembechler is not ob- livious to the importance of a Bunyan. Rumor has it that Bo gave a fiery talk. after Thursday's practice exhorting his team to "Win one for the Bunyan." (It must be said, however, that some of the players thought it corny). But when it comes right down to it, all the pre-game hoopla isn't worth a thing. The game is won on the field. The Michigan secondary may bear the brunt of the Spartan attack today as Darryl Rogers teams rely heavily on the pass. Quarterback Ed Smith went to the air 42 times against Michigan last year in a 42-10 loss. He tied a record for the most passes attempted against any Michigan team in a single game. "A-lot of Big Ten teams aren't used to defending the pass," said Smith earlier in the year, "but they'd better get used to it. We threw 42 times against Michi- gan last year, and we'll probably throw 50 times this year." John Wayne, Honorary Crusade Chairman. HUEDG'S 114 E.

Michigan has spent extra time working on pass defense in practice this week. "We've been concentrating not only on the secondary but on the pass rush, since they work hand in hand," said Michigan wolfman Dwight Hicks. "We know we can't stop every pass, but we don't plan to be burned tio of- ten." While the passing game is in the lime- light, the Wolverines are not overlook- ing the Spartans' running attack. Be- fore the season,'the MSU ground game was much maligned due to the loss of several starteris, including tailback Richie Baes. The combination of Leroy McGee and Jim Earley has proved effective though, and Schembechler thinks State's ground game has improved. "The tailback (McGee) has much more speed," he said. "They're actually a better running team than they were a year ago." MICHIGAN HAS GIVEN up an aver- age of only seven points against four op- ponents, while scoring an average of 28. It is conceivable that State will have to score several times to stay in the game. Add the fact that rain is.predicted, which would favor Michigan's ground attack. State throws 32 times a game, Michigan 12. Senior Max Richardson will start at wingback today, but Ralph Clayton should see considerable playing time. Richardson is thought to be the better blocker while Clayton can make the big play. Kickoff is at 1:30. The game can be heard of WJR Radio 76 or on WUOM (FM), 91.7. (99) Dom Tedesco (212).....
