ICHIGAN BEAT Northwestern 69-0, Northwestern beat Indi-
ana 30-0. If Michigan doesn't beat Indiana Saturday, then!
nothing is sacred in football. The score won't be 99-0 but it's
bound to be l-elatively lopsided.
But even the difference in the quality of the two teams won't
match the contrast between the coaches - Bo Schembechler and
Lee Corso. A
Judging solely from last year's record the difference between'
these two coaches is the measure between greatness and medioc-
rity. Bo achieved a 10-1 mark, while Corso managed a dismal
1-10.
But Schembechler coaches at Michigan and Corso coach-
es at Indiana and that means all the difference in the world.
Since 1950, Indiana has fielded only three winning football
teams. Gridiron tradition is practically non-existent at Bloom-
ington, as football takes a backseat to basketball and even
swimming.k
The "Cardiac Kids" who went to the Rose Bowl following
the 1967 season are the closest the Hoosiers have come to pigskinj
excellence in recent memory.

Indiana he has certainly brought innovation and flair. Since he
has been at Bloomington Corso has, among other things, hired
a woman coach ,(Buzz Kurpius as academic counselor), and al-
lowed newsmen" into the lockerroom at halftime during home
games. On the field Corso has offered surprises from time to time
with razzle-dazzle plays and going for first downs on fourth
down, with the'Hoosiers deep in their own territory. Characteris-
tically, Corso may unleash a few surprises against Michigan
Saturday but, unfortunately for the Hoosiers, one of them won't
be the score.
