monster. Win, win, win or else. ___
Because of this a lot of pressure has been put on this team.
Though the youngest team in several years, this squad was
rated higher in preseason than any Michigan squad in years.
"Their predecessors have set such a standard that they
think they have to match it," said Schembechler. "Since 1969
we've had five hellish teams."
But while Bo might be disturbed about the fans and dis-
gusted with the press, he refuses to turn his back on his players.
"I don't give a damn whether Missouri, or Missouri and
Oklahoma are coming up here for a doubleheader," said Bo. X....
"We will play tough football."
Even the grumbling fans and the doubtful press have to
admit that Michigan is a better team than they have shown
against Stanford and Baylor. There is no way they could have
gotten by Wisconsin as easy as they did.
Missouri hosted the Badgers just last week and were for- '

the tools, and is really strong in the
shoulders."
In his freshman year at the big U,
Meyer grabbed 10th place in the Big
Ten cross country meet-a strong show-
ing for a freshman straight out of
Grand Rapids West Catholic.
LIKE MANY harriers Meyer started
running cross country because he was
too small for football. In high school,
Meyer captured the state Class B
championship in the mile, as well as
the individual title in cross country.
The most startling thing to happen to
Meyer as a collegian occurred his fresh-
man year, when he ran home with a
victory in the steeplechase in the Big
Ten championships. "I don't think I've
ever been dead at the end of any race
I've run, except for the steeplechase
that year," Meyer stated.
Last year was a mixed blessing for
Meyer. In cross country Michigan grab-
bed the Big Ten championship surpris-
ing many observers and Greg finished
second b e h i n d individual champion
Craig Virgin of Illinois. However, the
track season was something Meyer
would like to forget. Looked upon to
be a strong contender in the mile
Meyer fared poorly both outdoors and
indoors.
ASKED if he was going to make a
comeback from his poor track season
Meyer said, "I don't know if it's a
comeback, I always run well in cross
country."
"There is pressure on our team this
year because we are the defending Big
Ten champions, and with everyone
back from last year it's not going to
be easy to repeat."
Coach Warhurst' echoed Meyer's sen-
timents, "We've got the talent but it
will be tougher because we won't be
on our home course." This year's meet
will be run in Madison.
WHAT DOES it mean to Ron War-
hurst to have a talent like Greg Meyer
to lead his charges? "I honestly don't
know what his limits are," Warhurst
said. "His mental attitude and his con-
fidence are the only things to keep him
back, but that attitude is 100 per cent
right now so who knows how far he
can go."
Meyer himself feels that he is matur-
ing and becoming a better and smarter
runner. "You can't stop learning about
strategy in running. The hardest part
to me is keeping my head together dur-
ing the race, especially the middle
miles.
"We are still a very young team. We
have some excellent freshmen in (Jack)
Sinclair and (Steve) Elliott, but to be
realistic I don't think we can win the
nationals-maybe we'll be fifth or some-
thing. We can win the Big Ten title
again, if we work hard."
How does Meyer reconcile education
and running?
"They are both important but in a
separate sense. However one can affect
the other. If I flunk a test I run bad
or if I run bad I don't feel like studying.
"The important thing to remember is
that the fifth man is as important in
scoring as the first man-we'll help
each other."
Yeah, Greg, maybe to another Big
Ten title. *

Injuries have hurt the Wolverines and Michigan is bound to
be at least a little healthier against the Tigers. Middle guard,
Tim Davis and tackle Jeff Perlinger, hampered by injuries
against Baylor, will be in better shape. Split end Rick White may
also be back.
But basically Michigan goes with the same squad. Tackle
Steve King will not be back for two to three weeks. Bo refuseda
to speculate on the possibility of getting Kirk Lewis back in the
lineup before season's end, in spite of the fact that the offensive
guard has his arm cast off.
Again this week Bo refused to commit himself to a starting
quarterback against Missouri.
"It depends on how we decide to attack."
Well, as long as Bo is at Michigan he is stuck with both the
fans and the press. He'll find them both easier to live with if
his team beats Missouri.
Show this week's opponent Michigan's still a winner. Show'em
