Page 10-Saturday, September 12, 1981-The Michigan Daily Big Ten squads begin first full week By CHRIS WILSON Big Ten football starts rolling again today and, though the eyes and ears of Ann Arbor will undoubtedly be focused on its Wolverines in Madison, a brief glance should be taken at the actions of thpir future opponents. On today's schedule are two inter-conference con- tests and four games against outside opponents. Up in East Lansing, the Michigan State Spartans host the Illinois Fighting Illini. The Illini are the only tested team in the Big Ten. Last week they got off to a somewhat less than auspicious start by losing 26-6 to Pittsburgh on the road. Illini coach Mike White might have bet- ter luck'today if he wan get his team to hold on to the ball. An all-rookie back- field and a first year wide receiver kept the offense jittery enough to lose three fumbles to the Panthers last Saturday. But even with a firm grasp on the ball Illinois will have its share of problems with the Spartans. Head Coach Muddy Waters welcomed back 16 starters this fall and a total of 41 lettermen. Among those returning are quarterback John Leister, tailback Derek Hughes and wide receiver Ted Jones. And to add to that returning talent, Michigan State recruited prep All-American halfback Aaron Roberts who will be lining up in the starting backfield. IN THE other inter-conference mat- chup, rookie head coach Dennis Green will pit his Northwestern Wildcats against Lee Corso and the Hoosiers of Indiana, down in Evanston. Green, who inherited a team that went winless in its last 22 attempts, has his work cut out for him. A self-professed pass offense* specialist from Stanford, Green is rebuilding the questionable Wildcat of- fense around senior quarterback Mike Kerrigan who threw for 12 TD's last season. However, Indiana will probably ruin Northwestern's hopes for a new direction. The Hoosier defense, led by senior linebacker Craig Walls, while it is not impenetrable, will be enough to stop the undermanned Wildcat offen- sive. On offense, Corso can look to his star tight end, Bob Stephenson. Stephenson should become Indiana's all-time leading pass-catcher this season and his sure hands should help to make up for the loss of quarterback Tim Clifford. Filling that spot is either Babe Laufenberg or two-year man Chad Huck. In either event, the Hoosiers should have little trouble shredding the Wildcat defense. In West Lafayette, the air should be filled with flying footballs as the Pur- due Boilermakers host the Stanford Cardinals. Both sides of this Big Ten-Pacific Ten contest are known for their passion for passing attacks. Pur- due will miss quarterback Mark Herr- mann and his favorite targets Bart Burrell and Dave Young, but head coach Jim Young is determined to con- tinue his airborne ways with Larry Gates at QB and lightening-quick Steve Bryant at receiver. Stanford, mean- while will center its attack upon the mighty arm of junior signal caller John Elway. Elway was named to the Spor- ting News first team All-American squad last year as a sophomore. The last time a QB did that was in 1962. However, even a star like Elway can't do everything and since he won't be able to help the Cardinal defense this will be an extremely tight contest. Another capacity crowd in Columbus will be on hand to see Ohio State battle Duke's Blue Devils. Head coach Earle Bruce will call upon the considerable talents of senior QB and Heisman Trophy candidate Art Schlichter, as well as running back Tim Spencer, and the powerful Buckeyes will most likely hold the Duke offense at bay. The Iowa Hawkeyes have their hands full as they square off against th powerful Nebraska Cornhuskers in their season opener. The Huskers, perennially ranked in the Top Ten, should enjoy a very pleasant stay in Iowa City. In another out-of-conference contest the Gophers of Minnesota square off against Ohio University.

I~# DAILY ~ 1:15 3:30 6:00 8:00 , i0:00 R The Rock and the Chicken hit A2 MASS MEETING SEPTEMBER 15 7:30 pm UNIVERSITY CLUB MICHIGAN UNION By RON POLLACK When the Slippery Rock Rockets take on the Wayne State Tarters at Michigan Stadium today at 1:00 p.m., they will face quite a bit of competition for the crowd's attention. Also performing will be 12,000 high school band members, the Clydesdale horses of Bud- weiser beer fame and the San Diego Chicken. With such sideshows going on, goal line stands and double reverses may not be as captivating as they might otherwise be. But the head coaches of the two football teams have no complaints about the pagean- try that will surround the game, since a much larger crowd than is ugual for either team will attend the game to see these stunts. BOTH COACHES say that the publicity and expec- ted large crowd are beneficial to their respective programs. "I think it is always good to play in front of a large crowd," said Slippery Rock head coach Fred Gold- smith. "It can't hurt. A lot depends on how we do. If we play good sound football, the experience is good. It's good even if we don't but if we play well it's even better." "It's a big football game that we hope to do well in," said Wayne State head coach Dave Ferris. "It's a game that will be in front of the biggest crowd that Wayne State will play in front of, and we hope to show people what kind of football Wayne State is capable of playing." IN ASSESSING today's game, Goldsmith notes that his team is just now moving up to the same division as Wayne State. "It seems like Wayne State's conference is a tough, established division II conference," he said. "We're just in the process of moving from division III to division II. Going against a team that has recruited with scholarships, while we haven't (division III schools do not use scholarships) makes a giant question mark." The Rockets will be led on offense by tailback Rick Porter who rushed for 1,043 yards last season, scoring five touchdowns in the process. The leading candidates for the quarterback position are sophomores John Elliot and Don, Christian. However, neither possesses much ex- perience as they only threw a combined total of 68 passes last year in backup roles, completing 24. Nonetheless, Goldsmith says that he has no qualms about putting the ball into the air. "I THINK our quarterbacks are a 'eal strong point," he said. "Barring the weather,we've been practicing the forward pass. I don't mind throwing the ball a bit. Both of our quarterbacks had good springs." Slippery Rock's top returning receiver is Robert Green who caught 12 passes for 175 yards and one touchdown last year. On the defensive side of the line, the Rockets return eight starters from last year's 4-5 ballclub. The most notable returnees being middle guard John Dahlstrand and defensive tackle Gary Hunt. The two were the team's second and third leading tacklers respectively this past season. "I think if anybody is going to be good they have to have a good defense," said Goldsmith. "I hope oux defense can keep it a close football game." STANDING OVER center for Wayne State will be Greg Goldstein who, like his counterparts at Slippery Rock, did not throw a tremendous amount of passes. last year. On the season, he completed 31 of 85 attem- pts for 402 yards and two touchdowns. Running down Goldstein's tosses for the Tarters should be flanker Paul Longo (36 receptions, 492 yar- ds) and tight end Kevin Schneider (14 receptions, 158 yards). On defense, Wayne State only returns four startersy three of which line up in the secondary. Junior free safety Chuck Aldrich has led the team in intercep tions the last two years, while strong safety John Ker- fey and cornerback Sherman Fuqua each picked off three passes last season. The other holdover from the, past season's defensive unit is weakside linebacker Steve Doman.

The incident occurred Tuesday night and Cedeno was ejec- ted from the game. Feeney suspended Cedeno for an un- determined period Wednesday. CEDENO, A native of the Dominican Republic, said a fan who called him "killer" provoked him to go into the stands. Cedeno was convicted on involuntary manslaughter and fined $100 in January 1974 after the fatal shooting of a 19- year-old woman in Santo Domingo. "People who attend baseball games have the right, and it is part of the enjoyment of the game, to root vociferously for their favorites or, on the other hand, vent in a sportsmanlike fashion feelings towards players that are negative, and players expect this as part of their profession," said Feeney. "Yet in this case the evidence is compelling that the remarks made by fans went beyond the realm of decency. This type of spectator behavior is not only unfair to the players, but is unacceptable to the vast majority of the fans who go to the game for entertainment and enjoyment rather. than to express such anti-social behavior. "It is the policy of this office that extreme actions by spec- tators that infringe- upon the rights of players and other fans be responded to by proper security measures, including ejec-' tion and,: in cases where objects are involved, legal prosecution." .... ........... ... .::.............. v:.v::.v:..v:::.v::::::::w::.:: :".v:.: :v: :".v:::::::: :w:::;::;:::;:s::..:,...::::::.vw:::::::::::::::::::.......... r..... ..
