Criday, September 12, 1975 Vets THE MICHIGAN DAILY rage Nrne lead Badger By RICK BONINO The offense sells the tickets, goes the old gridiron adage, and the defense wins the ball- games. The fans in Madison this week proved the first part of that all-too-often quoted saying. The University of Wisconsin somehow ran out of student football tickets for Saturday's home opener with Michigan before it ran out of stu- dents. This unprecedented ducat demand is largely due to the fine Badger offense, which ranked second only to awesome Ohio State in confer- ence scoring and total yardage last season. WISCONSIN'S ATTACK, although sound, ap- pears quite predictable-Marek, Marek and more Marek. Balding Badger Billy, who ranked first in Big Ten rushing last season and third in the nation, heads a ground crew that returns last year's top five rushers. Marek, a good bet for Wisconsin's first All- American since 1962, has also been touted as a possible Heisman Trophy winner. If he can re- peat last season's performance-1224 yards at 5.9 per crack while pacing the nation in scor- ing--he should at least be in the running. HOWEVER, the 5-8 tailback often falls prey.to injuries. Marek missed all or part of three contests last season, including over three quar- ters of the Michigan game. Though he suffered a collarbone bruise in practice two weeks ago, Marek returned to this week's contact drills. "Any team in the Big Ten can beat me up physically," Marek admitted at a pre-season press conference. Even without Marek the Badger ground game remains impressive. Marek's backup, sophomore Mike Morgan, comes off a 466-yard debut including two hundred-yard games and eight touchdowns. WISCONSIN'S TOP two fullbacks form an equally impressive tandem. Senior Ken Starch gained 643 yards in 1974 and barely trailed Marek with 5.8 yards per carry. Junior Larry "Sweet C" Canada played often enough to garner 358 yards last season and adds blocking force with his 6-2, 227 frame.

M, OSU, MSU VIE FOR CROWN No claims on Big Ten ti By DAVE WIHAK With the Big Ten football s e a s o n rapidly approaching, every football fan in the area is trying to size up the real contenders. In fact, even Jimmy the Greek is second-guessing. Ohio State is probably the safest bet, next to Michigan. The Buckeyes' chances rest on two "name" players-quarter- back Cornelius Green and tail- back Archie Griffin. Their run- ning ability is well known in the Big Ten, and big things are ex- pected of them this year. But with the loss of three men on the offensive line, that running game may be hampered unless Hayes can find adequate replacements. Defensively, the Buckeyes suf- fered through graduation. Hav- ing lost eight starters. inclding Van Decree, Pete Cusick and Neil Colzie, the Buckeves will be fielding a lot of unknowns. OSU boasts key personnel in safety Tim Fox, tackle Nick Buonomici, and linebacker Ken Kuhn. Before passing over the Buck- eyes' strength too quickly, one should remember their kicking game. For some reason the name Tom Klaban comes to mind. He's that Czechoslovak- ian field goal kicker. There are a couple of black marks -against the Buckeyes which could be their downfall. They play road games at East Lansing and Ann Arbor, and in the close matches that both games shape up to be, the home team advantage will be a heavy factor. The Spartans of Michigan State will rely heavily on quarterback Charlie Baggett to lead them to the promised land. Last yepr, he passed for 965 yards and scrambled for 11 touchdowns. He will be the key to how well the Spartans do this year, despite any im- provements they may have made defensively. Fullback Levi Jackson will re- turn to give the Spartans a well balanced running attack, and as Ohio State will attest, a poten- tial breakaway threat. The offensive line will have strength in tight end Mike Cobb and guard Greg Croxton, but the Spartans may fall short in wide receivers. State is going with inexperienced people that just might prove its greatest weakness. Defensively, the Spartans have a premier end in Otto Smith, and with Greg Schaum returning they have the nucleus of a strong defensive line. Their linebacking corps is not the best, although they have exper- ienced men in Kim Rowekamp and Pat McClowry. State has three starters returning in the defensive secondary which should complement its line very well. The only team to be mentioned ably shouldn't be don't have the compete with M OSU or Wiscom Jeff Hollenbach, with senior Stev patz doesn't ha ience necessary very far. The only thing, the Illini is that1 spectable defen with players like Bill Kleckner.T an excellent placekicker in Dan Beaver. In two seasons with the Illini, Beaver has piled up 102 points. If Illinois has any hopes of beating Michigan, OSU, or: MSU, they'll have to borrow the Rock of Gibraltar to fill the gap- ing holes in their defensive line. Dr. Paul C.
