Mich By MARCIA MERKER Coming off hard fought ties last week, the Baylor Bears and the Michigan Wolverines clash today on Michigan's 27th annual Band Day. The similarities be- tween the teams are abundant. Baylor w o n the Southwest. Conference football title last year on its ground attack as Michigan did the Big Ten. From graduation, the Bears as well as the Wolverines lost a good num- ber of starters. r * BAYLOR head football coach Grant Teaff said about the con- test, "This is possibly the big- gest challenge in recent Baylor football history. We will be fac- ing a nationally-ranked Michi- gan team under a fabulously S successful coach and before the biggest crowd a Baylor team has ever played before. "However, our young men have responded well to chal- lenges in the past, and I believe we will do so this week."

Unlike last week's game against the Ca nals, the Baylor Bears offense is basically a ground attack. Both teams are defensive-min which should guarantee, this kind of hitting throughout the game. BUCKEYES HOST N.C.: MVissouri eyes ance, "We've cured him of that. He won't drop the ball again." At the tight end position, freshman Gene Johnson has seen action this week. George Przy- godski begins for the Wolverines at that position but Schembech- ler said that he might try John- son in the game today. Johnson played with Leach last year at Flint Southwestern and is well accustomed to re- ceiving his passes. Michigan 'and Baylor have compatable offenses as they both emphasize the ' ground attack. However their defenses vary in strength. As Schembechle: noted that this game would be a de- fensive battle, he was probably thinking about his '74 national title in scoring defense. By PAUL CAMPBELL 1 All ten conference teams wili be in action today as the Big Ten moves into the second week of non-conference play. Last week the conference managed a composite record of five wins, four losses, and a tie. They will be hard pressed to match that this week as they face a very tough schedule. Five of this week's oppon- ents are ranked in the API Top 20, and the combined rec-t ords of the ten teams is a nif- ty 15-6-2.

The top-ranked Sooners, unbeaten in their last 32 games, fell behind 7-0 in the first quarter, but struck for all 20 of their points in the second period. Then Okla- homa barely survived Mi- ami's inspired fourth-quarterE rally, which included a 72-1 yard pass play. such powers as Notre Dame, Southern Cal, and Missouri.' The contenders aren't going to have it any easier than their less powerful peers, either. Wis- consin travels to Columbia, Mo., to face the surprise team of the: 1975 season, the Missouri Ti- gers. Coach John Jardine's Badgers will have their hands full try- ing to contain the well'balanced Missouri attack, which led the! Tigers to ;impressive victories over Alabama and Illinois.

MSU can't make that claim. They are plagued by injuries and barely escaped with a vic- tory over Miami of Ohio last week despite being outplayed. At least one of the Spartans thinks that they can meet the challenge, however. . . .. . Fullback Levi Jackson says, "It's hardto pull the team to- gether after all the injuries, but I think things will go all right I this week." Things will most likely go all right far Woody Hayes this week also, as they face North Carolina in friendly Ohio Stadium. The Bucks. have clearly established themselves as conferertce favor- ites with solid back to back vic- tories over MSU and Penn St. The only thing the Tar Heels can hope for is a letdown, and Coach Hayes is doing his bestI to avoid one. "I'm a mean old man," admitted Woody, "and I doubt if they'll be looking ahead." Illinois hits the road, travel- ing into the deep South to face the eighth ranked Aggies from Texas A & M. The high rank- ing is a bit deceiving, :how- ever, as the Aggies were very unimpressive last week, stum- bling to a 7-0 decision over lightly regarded Mississippi. The Fighting Illini put on a good show for their home fans last week. They outplayed Mis- souri in the first half and ac- tually led 20-7 before the Tigers took over. They showed a balanced of- fense, which at times totallyi dominated the vaunted Missouri defenders.
