fiver have an incident on your
mind that just eats at you until it's
resilyed or conquered? For Michi-
garircoach B o Schembechler the
prpilems are all behind him and a
return trip to the Rose Bowl lies
aiead. No more worries - yet - just
a tittle relaxation and savoring of the
14-6 victory over Ohio State which
ga'e the Wolverines a share of the
coriterence championship.
Mj'his is a good club," Schembech-
le,aid yesterday while puffing on a
viiA'ry cigar. "Even though we had a
ot''of problems injury-wise, this team
sti'ck together.
-,For the first time since 1951 a
V khigan team has beaten the Buck-
eyes two years in a row. Schem-
behler can enjoy this week and wait
for the outcome of Friday's Southern
Ci-UUEA confrontation which will
determine the Pac-8 winner. If UCLA
loses, Washingtoi goes to the Rose
Biwl. A Bruin victory would give the
Ucans a Rose Bowlinvitation.
"If we play Washington we will not
bejplaying somebody's home game,"
Scehembechler said. 4"You may un-
derestimate these two teams. These
last five games they have come on
and made a race out of it."
In the meantime, Schembechier
has-to ponder over a few decisions
such as when the Wolverines are
going to depart, when they are going
to practice and other fundamental
Matters. The coach is considering a
brief stop in Tucson, Arizona before
toe' Wolverines arrive in Pasadena.
It's ideal weather there and we
can concentrate on football," he said.

"The earliest we would leave is
December 20th and we will definitely
be in Pasadena the day before Christ-
mas. The only problem is the equip-
ment, training and all that - moving
twice from here to Tucson and then to
Pasadena."
"I really don't believe distractions
have that much to do with it out
there," Schembechler added. "The
time factor - the length of time you
are out there - kills ya. It's just a
matter of being away from home."
While at home in Ann Arbor, the
Wolverines will get in a few prac-
tices - but the work that doesn't get
done here must be completed out
west.
"Between next week and the time
we get into practice here we will have
a half dozen conditioning workouts,"
Schembechler said. "They will have
nothing to do with football. Most of
these kids stay in shape all year
round."
Amidst all the fun of prognosticat-
ing about the Rose Bowl, Schembech-
ler took a little time to reflect back on
the Buckeye battle, especially re-
garding a few off the field incidents.
The ruckus before the game with the
Buckeye players hitting Michigan
students holding up the Go Blue
bannerwas pointed out to Bo after
the game - and he didn't like it one
bit.
"I would not want the crowd, and
extra-curricular things to destroy
this great game," Schembechler
said. "I don't want fans to become so
damn important that we forget this
game is for the players.
S
Bo's load
"Crowd control is very import-
ant," he continued. "Something is
going to happen that could destroy
this great rivalry. These two teams
have a great amount of respect for
each other. They play an aggressive,
clean, hard-hitting game."
The media needled Schembechler
about the thoughtless acts of his old
boss, Woody Hayes. The ancient
Buckeye coach punched a TV cam-
eraman who was closing in for a shot,
right after Rod Gerald fumbled in the
fourth quarter and Ohio State's
victory hopes were eliminated.
"My relationship with Woody is
good," Schembechler said. "I don't
really have, a good temper so I
shouldn't be able to judge what he
did.
"But I do know that I turned
around sometimes on Saturday and
nearly'shoved a cameraman into the
game," he added. "My substitute
had to stand behind a cameraman.
Something should be done to restrict
them."

Aggressive hockey is coming to Ann
Arbor !
That's the word from Michigan Coach
Dan Farrell and while it sounds like a
familiar PR job (which couldn't hurt),
it could mean survival for the
Wolverines' NCAA title hopes.
WHEN THE SEASON opened,
Michigan was to be a fast, light
forechecking, control type hockey
team. The speed and control are there
and the 6-2 record would seem to in-
dicate that the style was working. But
Farrell feels his team has been in-
timidated in the process.
"People have been taking advantage
of us," said Farrell, "that's why we
haven't played as well as I'd have
like "
"WE'VE SEEN THAT we have to
'hit," continued Farrell. "We have to
forecheck harder."
The Wolverines tried out their new
philosophy this past weekend against
Minnesota and the result was a sweep.
The Blue icers showed that they could
hit with the best of them. However,
there were consequences.
The new aggressive style sent
Wolverines to the penalty box 21 times,
their highest total of the season. For-
tunately for the Wolverines, on eight of
those occasions a Blue icer was able to
the presence of television people on
the sidelines during football games.
"Oh, $600,000, that's why," he said.
"When you guys (writers) give us 600
grand, we'll put your fannies on the
bench if you want."
So, for a change, Schembechler
can take it easy this week and let
things fall in place. Friday, the
mentor heads to Ohio to watch high
school football and Saturday he
should be in, attendance at the
Michigan high school finals. Schem-
bechler is interested in seeing the
talent - this year's main recruiting
goals are at defensive back and .
quarterback.
But just like game week, he has a
few crucial decisions to make re-
garding his players for the upcoming
contest.
Last year, Michigan wanted its
names on the back of the uniforms.
This year the players have a differ-
ent request.
"The team hit me to wear white
shoes," Schembechler said.
"What am I going to do with all
those white shoes?"

RON SIMPKINS, shown here recovering an OSU fumble, was named UPI Mid-
west Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts in the Ohio State game.
Credited with 20 tackles last Saturday, Simpkins now holds the Wolverine
record for tackles in a season with 158.

Another key contribution was donated
by Michigan's penalty killers.
MICHIGAN SCORED two short-
handed goals while only allowing three
Gopher powerplay tallies. A little
arithmetic shows that the Michigan
penalty killers stopped the Minnesota
powerplay alotimes in 13 attempts.
Farrell cites the juggling of his
penalty killing combinations as the
reason behind the stellar play.

announced that Torrez and Drago had
agreed to multi-year contracts.
los ock sig
Terms were not disclosed. However,
Torrez, the New York Yankees' World
Series hero last month, reportedly
agreed to a seven-year contract for $2
million.
Drago, a reliever traded by Boston to
Baltimore after helping the Red Sox to
the American League pennant in 1975,
will rejoin the club at a fat pay in-
crease.

hurting their two chief rivals in the
American League East-the Yarkees
and the Baltimore Orioles, who lost
Drago and could lose starting pitcher

Lyman Bostock to a multi-year con-
tract yesterday.

ballplayer in history."
The former Minnesota Twins out-

Yankees and San Diego Padres offered
him more money but "there were a lot
of other things involved in addition to
money."
