lead;
\fter holding a 12-0 halftime
lead, Minnesota flopped after
tie intermission and was upset
by the Haykeyes, 22-12.
The Gophers may have a tough
time rebounding from this loss
in the next few weeks, as they
face Michigan, Northwestern
and Wisconsin, on the road, and
Ohio State at home.
The hub of the Minnesota of-
fensive attack is quarterback
Tony Dungv. Dungy has almost
rewritten the Minnesota record
hook for passing credentials dur-
ing his four year starting career.
This year Dungy has hit on
44 per cent of his passes for
796 yards and two touchdowns.
In addition to being a serious
threat as a passer, Dungy
poses an even greater threat
as a runner.
The Jackson, Michigan native
has scampered for 324 yards,'
including a 51-yard jaunt, and
five touchdowns.
Tailback Kent Kitzmann leads

the Minnesota ground ittack.
The sophomore from Rochester,
Minnesota has run for 628 vards
and one touchdown.
But Kitzmann is not counted
on to score unless he breaks'
away on a long run. "Designated
scorer" Jim Perkins has carried'
the ball only 41 times all season
-but the bruising fullback has
tallied 10 touchdowns. When-ver
the Gophers are in need of short
yardage, Perkins gets the cal:-
and he usually gets it.
Dungy has a pair of fine re-
ceivers to throw to this season.
Senior Ron Kullas has hauled in
23 aerials for 254 yards and one
touchdown. He ranks second in
the Big Ten in receptions.

Dungy's favorite target is
split end Mike Jones. This
fleet-footed split end is the
Gopher's main deep threat.
Since coming off of an iriury
two weeks ago, the speedster
from Detroit has nabbed six
passes for an average of 21.7
per catch.
Defensively, the Gophers rank
fourth in the Big Ten, and are
lead by senior safety George
Adzick.
Adzick has three interceptions
and has sacked the quarterback
5 times for 59 yards in losses.
The Gopher's leading tackler
is junior linebacker Steve Stuart
with 69 tackles in 7 games.
Stoll has set the goal of a first

phers
division finish in the Big Ten,
and hopes for a possible Bowl
berth. In order to accomplish
these goals, the Gophers will
have to rebound from an upset
again-only this time it shouldn't
be so easy.

Well, fans, the big weekend is finally here.
The Wolverines left for Columbus last night for
the contest that will decide the Big Ten Cham-
pionship.
No, you didn't oversleep until November 20.
The Big Ten Women's Volleyball Championships
are being held in Columbus this weekend.
Coach Sandy Vong takes his young squad to
the biggest meet that they have faced to date.
The squad, composed mainly of sophomores
and freshwomen, earned a 6-4 record this
season. And they are fresh off a sweep of a
tri-meet with EMU and Grand Valley State.
THE TEAM, HOWEVER, has demonstrated
inconsistencies throughout much of the season.
At times they serve and spike well enough to
beat anyone, but then they have trouble return-
ing the ball over the net.
However, Coach Vong believes that the team
is improving, and has progressed over last

year's seventh place finish in the Big Ten.
Although young, the spikers' starting seven'
have seen plenty of action.
Coach Vong has substituted sparingly this
season, giving the starters as much game ex-
perience as possible before the big meets (Big
Ten, Regional and NCAA Championships).
JAMIE SPOHN and Karel Pennington an-
chor the team. While Jamie provides leadership
through her aggressive and inspired play, Karel
holds a strong front line and provides game-
winning spikes.
Other players performing strongly this year
are Jackie Madison, Jane Doty, Roberta Salay,
Elisabeth Holmes and Bonnie Schwan.
"We don't have any stars," Coach Vong
stresses, "we have a team."
This team has the material and the talent to
combine and surprise a lot of people by bringing
home the Big Ten crown.
The teams to beat are Indiana and Ohio State.
