"Baggett has had r experience than either El or Leach. He is a very unse individual and therefore Blue fires up for winning above everything else." "Both Michigan's and our running backs have experi- ence," continued Davis. "Where we are lacking is up front. We are both kind of green." The Spartans stampeded for 228 yards per game rushing with tailback Levi Jackson leading the charge and fullbacks Tyrone Wilson and Jim Earley, along with Baggett himself close be- hind.

Under a new tie-breaking for- mula the Spartans would make the trip to Pasadena since they have been away the longest and no one of the champions had beaten the other two. The Wolverines have beaten the Spartans 42 times, with five ties and 20 losses. However since 1950, MSU has taken 16 games from the Blue. en6gj The series began in 1898 when State was named Mich- igan Agricultural and Meehan- ical College. The Mighty Men from Ann Arbor took the Greenies 39-0. The next meet- ing was even more degrading for M.A.C. as thev vrete milked for 119 points. That was when touchdowns were - five points and the ,forward . pass was illegal, as some Michigan coaches still wish it was. It was not until 1908 that the East Lansing gridders didn't lose to Michigan. They tied 0-0, In 1913, MAC nipped 'ite Wol- verines 12-7. And ever since then, the competition has b-en tough.

"They're boht my friends and I like my friends," said Ford, a University of Michigan alumnus and football player in the 1930s. The response drew a round of good-natured laughter from those attending Ford's news conference here. The President tentatively had planned to attend the game in East Lansing, but the plans were cancelled for security reasons. World Series begins The 1975 World Series features two of the hungriest teams in baseball. The National League champion Cincinnati Reds haven't won the World Championship since 1940. The American League's Boston Red Sox last won 57 years ago, in 1918. Only two Boston players are left from the American League champions of 1967-left fielder Carl Yastrzemski and third baseman Rico Petrocelli. Bleacher seats and standing-room tickets went on sale yes- terday. A crowd of 4,000 waited outside Fenway Park all night to get the few remaining tickets for the World Series. Capitol congratulations The Senate has taken sides in the World Series. At the end of a 14-hour session Thursday night, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts asked for the adoption of a routine resolution congratulating the Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds for winning their respective pennants. Sen. John H. Glenn of Ohio offered no objection to the reso- lution - but informed the Senate that he has placed bets on the Reds to win in four straight. Can't take a joke Dr. Robert Ramsey says he thinks it's funny, but he's not laughing about the misdemeanor charge he faces for jogging around the track while the North Carolina State University foot- ball team was practicing.I Ramsay, a 35-year-old math professor at the school, was arrested on orders of Coach Lou Holtz who was afraid Ram-I - say might be a spy for University of Maryland football Coach Jerry Claiborne. The teams will meet today. Ramsay said he's an N.C. State fan and has never had any, :onnection with Maryland. "I'm glad we have a good football team, but there's a certain price I won't pay for that team," he Said. { I j+ I I Def ense s Dan Jilek (212) LE J.

Fourth St. Polomen v mmmmmmommkvm By PAUL CAMPBELL Michigan's water polo team had two major factors going against them last night in their game against the Ken- tucky Wildcats. First, they had to play without two starters, Rich Yawitz and John Daly. Secondly, a new rule elimin- ating foul outs, and therefore encour- aging fouls, was used in last night's game for the first time ever. Michigan overcame these problems however, to register a 12-9 victory in a rough and tumble affair before a full house of screaming Kentucky support- ers. 'WE EXPECT a rough game every time we come down here, and tonight's game was no exception," remarked Coach Stu Isaac after the game. The new rule completely changed our stra- plash by opening goal in the first period. Ken- tucky countered quickly with two goals, but Downie's first goal tied it up. The second period could just as well have been called the Joe Bauer show, as he scored four straight goals for M i c h i g a n. Kentucky managed to squeeze one tally in, and at halftime Michigan led 6-3. The third period was marred by al- most constant fouling. With Michigan players ejected for penalties time and time again, Kentucky powered five goals past Wolverine goalie Kevin Cul- len. Downie kept the Wildcats from pulling away though, with two straight goals. The score was tied at 8-8 as Jhe perid ended. pHE FOURTH PERIOD belonged to Downie and the Wolverines. Gordon Kentucky (against Indiana) was due to our fold- ing when they got close. But tonight, when Kentucky tied the game, we pulled ourselves together and took it away from them." THE VICTORY boosts Michigan's season record to 5-1. It was Kentucky's first loss of the year after three wins. Both teams are members of the Mid- west Intercollegiate Water Polo Con- ference, and are expected to be top contenders for the title. Today the Wolverines are in Bloom- ington, Indiana, for a pair of games against teams they have already seen once this year. In the afternoon, they take on the University of Cincinnati, a team which they beat 12-6 in Ann Arbor two weeks ago. WHY WALK FARTHER!
