Mo eller
By RICK BONINO
As any journalism buff lknows, Horace Gree-
ley said, "Go West, young man."
As any Michigan football buff knows, Gary
Moeller isn't that young - 37. And he isn't go-
Ong that far West - just to Champaign-Urbana.
MICHIGAN'S defensive coordinator the last
two years yesterday accepted the head coaching
job at the University of Illinois, drawing a mix-
ture of some sadness and, many good wishes
from his fellow coaches and players.
"He's a fine coach," smiled Bo Schembech-
les yesterday afternoon. "I'm pleased he got a
break like this, and I wish him a lot of luck.
"It's a sad day," Schembechler added of the
man who ran last year's practice while Schem-
bechler was hospitalized. "He's been with me
for ten years. I coached him in college (at
Ohio State.)
"I hope he wins ten a year," Bo quipped. Illi-
nois graces Michigan's schedule as the iiitial
opponent of its 11-game slate next season.
SOME PLAYERS acted surprised, others took
it in stride, but all echoed Schembechler's
praise and warm wishes.
"As far as the Big Two goes, if Moeller does
leave, that Big iTwo might be broken up," said
a still incredulous Tom Seabron. "I'm sure Illi-
nois will be on the rise, although it might take
them a few years to get there.
"Illinois has an abundance of talent and he'll
bring it out," the sophomore defensive end
continued. "I know some Illinois players, and
when I see them I'll tell them to do their best
for him."
"I'm kind of surprised he's leaving," agreed
senior wolf Jerry Zuver, "but' it's a step up
for him. He can be very successful at Illinois
because they have good athletes and a good
program. I wish him all the luck in the world."

"I'M NOT surprised at all," said senior All-
American linebacker Calvin O'Neal. "Rumors
have been going around for two or three years.
I kind of had a feeling it was time for him to
seek a coaching job of his own. He's the kind of
person that needs one."
"They couldn't have picked a better man,"
said defensive Jackle Greg Morton. "He can
really turn that program around, he's a winner.
While most mourned Moeller's migration, few
expected it to have disastrous effects on Michi-
gan's program.
"WHEN PLAYERS leave, you have to re-
place them," O'Neal sat-d. "It's the same with
coaches."
Moeller, now at Illinois, plans to return to
Ann Arbor when the Michigan team resumes
formal workouts Dec. 13 and remain with the
Wolverines through New Year's Day.
"HE'LL BE tough to replace, but we'll find
someone to replace him," Schembechler said
confidently. "The big thing is to keep our re-
cruiting going."
One of Moeller's strong suits is recruiting, a
factor which undoubtedly aided him in secur-
ing the Illinois position.
Moeller, an eight-year Wolverine coach; who
has never been associated with a losing foot-
ball team, joins a long list of Michigan assist-
ants who have moved on to head coaching jobs.
Among former Schembechler. assistants,
Frank Maloney went to Syracuse, Jim Young to
Arizona and Elliot Uzelac to Western Michigan.
Moeller, with a five-year, $1/5,000 contract, be-
comes the first to assume a Big Ten job.
Asked if Michigan now, rivals Miami, O. for
the "Cradle of Coaches" title, ex-Miamian
Schembechler replied, "It sure looks that way.
It's good for our staff. Now, a coach will con-
sider that when he thinks about coming here."

Ailing Rams hope for upset
over top-ranked Wolveries

Fordham, 2-0, plays the role
of giant killer in a two-act show
whose run starts at 2:00 this
afternoon in Crisler Arena.
The starring -role, however,
belongs to number one ranked
Michigan, with one victory to
its credit so far this season.

GARY MOELLER, Wolverine defensive coordinator,
speaks at a news conference where he accepted the
position of head football coach at Illinois. Moeller came
to Michigan in 1969 when Bo Schembechler was ap-
pointed head coach, and has been working with
the defense ever since. He will replace Bob Black-

Gymnasts stay home
Michigan gymnastics coach Newt Loken will find out the
caliber of his all-around gymnasts tpiight when they com-
pete in the Ball State All-Around Invitational in Muncie, Indiana.
Representing the Wolverines will be Rich Nisivaco, Bruce
Schuchard, Scott Weller, Doug Zahour, and possibly Nigel Roth-
well, depending on his injured shoulder.
With the exception of Rothwell, all are new to col-

The difficulty of the meet this year is compounded by
the institution of a new set of compulsaries, the same as those
done by Olympic gymnasts.

Blue swimmers host meets

AND I LIVED.

By BRIAN MILLER
Both Michigan's men's and
women's swim teams have
meets today - if the water in
the Matt Mann pool hasn't froz-
en over yet. The women face
Oakland University at 1 p.m.,
while the men meet Eastern
Michigan later at 7:30 p.m.
Men's coach Gus Stager isn't
that concerned with the weath-
er, or Eastern, for that matter.
"These meets can be clas-
sified as tune-ups," said Stag-
er. We cantuseuthese meets
to see what our freshmen
can do, and see how much our
sophomores have improved."
Stager was pleased with what
he saw from the men's opening
meet victory over Toronto.
"Freshman Dave Price won
a spectacular race in that
meet," Stager said. "And I ex-
pect I'll see some interesting
races from freshmen Mark
Coleman, Rick O'Donnell and
Jay Hlarreld against Eastern.
IHarreld's been improving every
day."
Senior Gordon Downie and
junior John Daly will also see
action in the meet. Stager is
counting on good performances
from them both throughout the
year.

important.''

Although Michigan's woinen's gymnastic team starts their
second season today against Western Ontario, it will be a re-
vamped squad swinging over the mats.
Head coach Anne Cornell begins her first year as tutor
of a team consisting of nine freshwomen and only six re-
turners.
"I don't know how to size up the team yet," Cornell said.
"Most of them haven't been in a pressure situation and I don't
know how they'll hold up. If they do in the meet what they
do in practice, we'll be fine.
The biggest asset on the team is Sara Flom, a first-year
student from Connecticut. Flom has been in gymnastics forj
