I SPORTS Page 8 Wednesday, September 16, 1981 BIG TEN TO MEET IMPROVED HAWK The Michigan Dai EYES IN'81 Fry has Iowa on the upswing By GREG DeGUIAS Third in a nine-part series Editor's note: This is the third in a nine-part series examining each of Michigan's 1981 Big Ten opponen- ts. The series was written by Daily football reporters Mark Mihanovic, Greg DeGulis, Buddy Moorehouse, and Drew Sharp. If there exists a mystery team in the Big Ten for Michigan and its fans, it would be the Iowa Haykeyes. Many students at Michigan have never seen the Hawkeyes, as the last meeting bet- ween Michigan .and Iowa occurred in 1978. The Wolverines manhandled the Hawkeyes, 31-0, in 1978, but many positive changes are apparent in Iowa City. After 1978, Hayden Fry seized control of the Iowa football coaching job and two first-division Big Ten finishes have resulted. In 1979, the Hawkeyes finished coach admits. The Hawkeyes return six starters to ah offensive unit which mar- ched up and down the field, but had problems scoring. Two quarterbacks will share the duties, senior Pete Gales (6-3, 175) and Gordy Bohannon (6-2, 1LL N4i5 Hfl ka xG Tit+ Z 9r E'ER fy Y k yjxwfSlfR MiNNES P Tickets are $12.50, $11.00 and $9.50 reserved and are now on sale at the Michigan Union Box Office and-all CTC outlets.

Love-Jordan (that's right) (5-11, 180, So.) and Marty Ball (6-1, 205, Sr.) provide the depth at running back.: The Hawkeyes passed effectively in 1980 and a productive spring this year heightens hopes for another wide-open offense. Five returning letterman will battle forthe receiver positions with Ivory Webb (6-0, 187, Sr.), Lon Olejnic- zak (6-3, 204, Jr.) and Mike Hufford (6- 3, 235, Jr.) as the favorites to win the receiver race. DEFENSIVELY, the Hawkeyes played well against the weaker op- ponents, but the football giants reaked havoc on the Hawkeyes in 1980. Iowa let up 238 points last year, but 156 of them were courtesy of Nebraska, Purdue, and Ohio State. Last week, the Hawkeyes reversed the trend by allowing only seven points against the mighty Cornhuskers of Nebraska. "We should have a sound number one unit and good strengths at some of the backup positions," Fry says. Eight starters return in addition to the entire second team, so depth should not be a problem for the Hawkeyes. The defense boasts of seven three-year lettermen All-Big Ten candidates Pat Dean (6-2, 250, Sr.) at nosegard and Todd Simon- sen (6-3, 235, Sr.) at linebacker.

The improvement continues this year as Iowa stunned- highly ranked Nebraska last Week, 10-7, in front of a record Kinnick Stadium crowd in Iowa City. Football excitement has returned to the land of quality basketball and wrestling, but Fry remains a bit cautious. "OFFENSIVELY, we have a long way to go to establish an attack," the 195). "This isn't the case of having two mediocre players at one position" ex- plains Fry. "These youngsters are both talented and tough. We may have to flip a coin to see who's number one when the season opens." With Gales' ex- perience as a three year letterman, look for him to start at the quarterback position. At running back, the hero of the Nebraska victory, Eddie Phillips (6-1, 190, So.), assured himself a starting Scalping is big business (Continued from Page 1) are small-timers," The. Zipper said. "They think they can, make a lot of money just because they sell a few. These guys don't have any street sense." THE ZIPPER should know. For nineteen years he has been selling tickets above cost for sporting events which range from Wolverine games to Wimbledon, and he claims to be, far and away, the best in the business. "The other scalpers call me all the time and ask me what they should do," he boasted. The Zipper, who claims that he was the first scalper ever to sell tickets in front of the Union; is upset at the growing number of scalpers, which he feels led to a recently-passed city ordinance prohibiting peddling in certain areas. "PEOPLE GOT arrested last year," he said. "The police are really going to start busting people." The Zipper and Mrozinski both said they have never had trouble with the police. According to the Ann Arbor detec- tive's office, the only security measure taken is the placement of a few plainclothesmen in front of Michigan Stadium gate a few hours before the game. "We do check all stolen tickets." said Klinge. warning ticket-buyers to be sure they know the person selling them a ticket. But he added that no stepped-up effort to prevent the scalping of tickets was planned for the near future. THE UNIVERSITY security force lets the Ann Arbor police handle the situation. "We don't do anything about it," said Athletic Director Don Canham. "We don't have any mechanism for it. The police have never asked us for help." Although the police do not appear to be enforcing the law strictly, The Zipper believes they do a respectable job. Mrozinski also warns, "Scalping is a very high-risk business." So what's the secret? "I try very hard not to screw up," said The Zipper. "But it ain't what you think it is, it ain't no bowl of cherries," ad- ding "Some scalpers are going to end up in jail." Until then, The Zipper, Mrozinski and a handful of others will be laughing all the way to the bank.
