"Those people from UPI were? told last year that they couldn't take pictures of our practices," said Schembechler, "They at- tempted to go into various apartments and offered them money in order to view our practice. "THE GUY was notified that, no pictures were to be taken. I don't want anything to jeopard- ize our game," he continued. "It was a sequence camera that could jeopardize our game this week. A still photograph could also be helpful to oppo- nents if taken at the right time. He can just publish those pic- tures in a newspaper. Columbus does get newspapers." According to Schembechler, the UPI asked Sports Informa- tion Director Will Perry if it could take shots of the Michigan mentor. It was told it could take posed pictures of him Mondaysor yesterday. There was no request for pictures of the players. "No one can take pictures of the players in practice", said Schembechler. He then quipped, "Only me. There are no pictures unless it's for my show."

I M Fimsown- onIV: Films of Michigan's Wednesday afternoon football prac- tice appeared on WBNS TV, channel 10 in Columbus, on last night's six o'clock news report. According to Ted Mullins, sports director and 'caster for the station, the films were taken by a WBNS staff mem- ber who is on assignment in Ann Arbor shooting feature footage for the upcoming Michigan-OSU clash. "The film is of no value to anyone." Mullins said. "I'd be glad to show it to anyone who wants to see it. It was 1 minute and 1 second long, and for the most part, all you can see is that there is indeed a football field and some players on it. There is no extra footage."r When asked why he bothered to show a film in which no formations, plays or anything of "value is ap- parent," Mullins replied that he was just following or- ders. He also stated that the cameraman was not instructed to "spy" on the Michigan team, nor does the station have any connection with OSU. .*." "- "-. s. Schembechler said that des- pite the fact that Michigan will be in a bowl his team will be up for the game: "I'm not familiar with the happenings on campus, but our team is highly motivated to win the Big Ten Championship. We're going to be up for this game. That I can assure you." Schembechler feels that the kicking game, penalties, and the passing game will play an important role in tomorrow's contest. In addition, he men- tioned that neither team wants key injuries early in the game. "The home advantage seems to be magnified in a game of this nature," said Schembech- ler, "Although we played well in Columbus the last two times and could have won with the right luck." FRI.-SAT.

Coach Ron Warhurst will take his Big Ten champions to Penn- sylvania full of optimism but with an eye to reality about the national title. "It is up for grabs, I think if everything goes right we could win it, but we are going with an open mind," stated the youthful harrier mentor. The top, four teams in the na- tional cross country ratings are University of Texas-El Paso, Washington State, Oregon, and Michigan. Nick Rose from West- ern Kentucky returns to defend his individual title. Other top runners include Big Ten cham- pion Craig Virgin of Illinois, Dave Merrick from Penn and John Ngeno, the Kenyan running for Washington State. The Wolverines are taking Greg Meyer, Mike McGuire, Bill Donakowski, Jay Ansdaett, and Jack Sinclar to Penn State to vie for All-American honors. -TOM DURANCEAU THE EXERCISE in popular American culture called this year's Michigan-Ohio State "game" by no means begins, and may not end tomorrow. The long months of preparation, speculation and anticipation peak as Woody brings his entourage north to do battle on the gridiron. But the real battle has been constantly, raging since Mike Lantry's last second 33-yard field goal attempt sailed wide to give OSU a 12-10 victory last November. The rivals ended last season with identical 7-1 conference marks, but for the second year in a row, the athletic directors vote enraged Michigan fans; as once again the Buckeyes were sent after the roses. It was little solace to Bo, his team and his supporters when the Big Ten's bowl selection policies were sub- sequently altered. Dennis Franklin, Dave Brown and Co. had been denied a bowl trip for their three varsity years. Ann Arbor supporters were granted satisfaction when OSU blundered, and the Trojans capitalized with J. K. McKay's touch- down grab plus Shelton Diggs' diving catch ion the two point conversion gave USC an 18-17 Rose Bowl victory and the National title. All winter, spring and fall, the Wolverines have been get- ting ready for this year's confrontation thinking one thought: Rose Bowl. During the first week of the season, the teams were ranked second and third in the national polls, intensi- fying the rivalry. Fans and possibly some of the players, looked way ahead towards tomorrow's showdown. Michigan responded with two dismal ties, which resulted in a drop in their ranking and a lull in fan enthusiasm. But Ohio State, while winning all their games and rising to the number one spot on both major polls, had its shakey per- formances, too. So, as both teams progressed through the season, compiling victories the supporters returned with re- newed and increased vigor. All over Ann Arbor, one can see the signs of the accrued ex- citement. "Beat Ohio State" or "Go Blue" appear on buttons, T- shirts, and walls across the University. This year's crop of bumper stickers is especially innovative. In addition to the old favorites: "M Go Blue", "Screw OSU," "Save Fuel: Burn Woody" and "OHIO is a four letter word", there are the new: "Woody has a big mouth, but Bo has JAWS", "Give Woody a Bo job", and the catchy "OHOWIHATE OHIO STATE". In addi- tion, posters, banners and signs are hanging around the campus in likely places, such as fraternities and dorms, to unlikely spots, as in professors' offices and the Health Service. The situation i much the same in Columbus. What has caused this intense rivalry? An obvious reason is the fact that these quality teams have vied for the en- viable position of Big Ten champion for several decades. The rivalry has intensified in the last eight with the two teams dominating the conference. The real hatred on the part of Michigan fans may stem from the 1968 incident in which, with the score at 50-14, OSU leading, Woody elected to at- tempt the two noint conversion, adding salt to the wounds of the previously undefeated Wolverines. (Mercifully the attempt failed.) If that memory didn't kindle the hatred in the heart of Michigan fpns, maybe it wns HAyes' temper tantrum in 1971 when he threw his hat and broke the yard marker in two. Whatever the reason, the feelings against the Buck- eyes are running high. It's difficult to be objective or rational about an eve*" that is surrounded by so much attention and ceremony. Sportswriters are supposed to maintain this facade of professionalism, but it's not so easy when one lives in the midst of such madness. Leave the objectivity for out of town writers and let's hope that the banner in the window of the Beta Theta Pi holds true: "THE BUCK STOPS HERE" ® On W e U 4 eeiea nk Cap Th Zappa Beethert Mothers oO BongoFury p Includes Deba Kdabra/ 200 Years Old On Dsc~et ReordsCucamonga /Muffin Man On Dise.t.Records and Tapes .A ELECTIONS For Eight (8) Full Year Positions on the Executive Council of the LSA Student Government will be held on Dec. 8 and 9, 1975.
