64 Page 8-Saturday, September 19, 1981-The Michi Buekeyes to face MSU By BARB BARKER The Big Ten moves into its second week of inter-conference football today, and although most of the nation's gridiron fans will have their eyes fixed on the Michigan-Notre Dame clash in Ann Arbor, there are also two intercon- ference and four other outside confron- tations scheduled. Second year Michigan State Coach Muddy Waters should have his share of problems when he pits his Spartans against Heisman trophy hopeful quar- terback Art Schlichter and the rest of Coach Earle Bruce's Buckeyes in Columbus. Last Saturday in their openinggame 27-17 loss to Illinois, the Spartans were plagued by numerous opening game mistakes, turning the ball over six times and committing seven penalties that resulted in 92 yards being walked off against Michigan State. Muddy waters ahead for Leister, Spartans .0 ACCORDING TO Waters, his team suffered from "too many jitters, too many fumbles, and too many miscues." The Spartans do have one bright spot in quarterback John Leister, who proved to be the bulk of the team's offense last week as he hit on 17 of 34 passes for 225 yards and one touchdown. However, MSU may be without the services of freshman prep All-American running back Aaron Roberts, who lost three teeth in last week's game. Either way, the Spartans will have a hard time with the Buckeyes, who chalked-up 34 points to Duke's 13 in their season-opener.

Art Schlichter (above) directs Ohio State against Michigan State in an intraconference game, while Syracuse's all-time leading rusher, Joe Morris (right), leads the Orangemen in their game against Illinois. 227 yards, which moved him into second place on the Big Ten's all-time total of- fense list behind Purdue's Mark Her- mann. In the ther inter-conference game, the Minnesota Gophers will play host to coach Jim Young's Purdue Boiler- makers. Although both teams emerged victorious from their opening game confrontations, the Gophers' perfor- mance was less impressive. With a 66- yard pass by quarterback Mike Hohen- see late in the fourth quarter, the Gophers were able to score, just barely sliding by Ohio University, 19-17. PURDUE, ON THE other hand, opened impressively with a 27-19 vic- tory over 18th ranked Stanford. Tailback Jimmy Smith, .wh'o scored three touchdowns against the Car- dinals, including one on a 100-yard kickoff return, should definately be an asset for the Boilermakers in today's game. It could be close, but Purdue has an edge. In a non-conference pair-up, the Iowa Hawkeyes will travel across the state to face Iowa State. Last Saturday, Iowa scored an unexpected victory' when they stunned the sixth-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers, 10-7. Despite the upset, Hawkeye coach Hayden Fry remains cautious. "Offensively, we have a long way to go," he said. The Cyclones also came out on top last week with a 17-13 victory over West Texas State. The Hawkeyes, however, look. like the best bet in this, cross-state rivalry. After last week's upsetting Badger victory over Michigan, it should prove quite interesting to see how Dave Mc- Clam's troup stacks-up against the ninth-ranked UCLA Bruins in today's confrontation at Madison. Badger All- Big Ten middle guard Tim Krumrie, who was named AP defensive "player- of-the-week" after racking up 13 tackles against Michigan last week, should definitely prove to be an asset to the Wisconsin defense. DESPITE THEIR early success, Wisconsin should have their hands full with the Bruins, who won their first Pac-10 game last week, 35-18, over Arizona. Quarterback Tom Ramsey, who scored a career high three touch- downs against the Wildcats, will be the man to watch. All things considered, it r Leister ...leads MSU offense seems less than likely that there will be another Madison upset. The Indiana Hoosiers will have their work cut out for them when they visit Los Angeles to play the USC Trojans, who proved they were a team to be reckoned with after beating Tennessee, 43-7, last week. The Trojans held the Vols to just 159 yards total offense while piling up 532 yards themselves. On the other side of the field, the Hoosiers barely slid by Norhtwestern with a 21-20 win last week. After last year's no-win season, rookie Wildcat coach has no where to take his team but up. Unfortunately, today's Little Rock game with Arkan- sas will not be the one to erase that all familiar zero in the left hand side of the Wildcat win-lose record. Last week, the Razorbacks rallied back in the four- th quarter for 'a 14-10 triumph over Tulsa. Today's confrontation should prove to be a test in physical endurance for the Razorback offense. In another non-conference contest, Illinois will play host to the Syracuse Orangeman. The Illini, who downed Michigan State last week, have an overall 1-1 record after losing to Pit- tsburgh on September 5. The Orangemen are 0-2. Syracuse's Jo Morris, the NCAA's leading returning career rusher entering 1981 with 3,105 yards, will be sure to bring some ex- citement to this confrontation. * m mm mmmmmm mm m, esmm mm - mm m = COLONIAL LANES WELCOMES i FLIPPER McGEE This coupon good for 50i free video games or 254 off a game of bowling with Student I.D.

"The Michigan defense will be ready to play tomorrow," defensive co- captain Robert Thompson assured the crowd. COACH BO Schembechler, who today will be walkingthe sidelines for the 200th time in his career, added "It won't take any miracles to beat Notre Dame-all we need is a typical Michigan game." SCORES American League Cleveland 8, Detroit 4 New York6, Boston 4 Toronto 5, California 1 Milwaukee 5, Baltimore 1 National League Montreal11, Chicago 0 New York 8, St. Louis 1 In addition to Thompson and Schem- bechler, offensive co-captain Kurt Becker told the partisans that "the luck of the Irish" would pose no problem for the Wolverine offense. The Michigan Marching Band, which earlier in the day performed in Grand Rapids at the Gerald R. Ford Presiden- tial Museum dedication, played a variety of numbers, including, the theme' from "The Greatest American Hero and "Celebration." MEN'S GYMNASTICS coach Newt Loken led the proceedings with the help of the Michigan cheerleading squad. Conspicious by his absence was Michigan radio announcer and en- thusiast Bob Ufer, who was unable to attend the rally due to doctor's orders. Although Ufer's absence put a dam- per on the crowd, Maize and Blue sup- porters were nevertheless able to summon a rousing tribute. to the Wolverine broadcaster with repeated cheers of "U-fer, U-fer, U-fer." In addition, Loken urged the Michigan fans to sign a giant get-well card for the ailing Michigan stalwart. AlP Photo Supporters rally behind 'M', Ufer M *why study in a closet?
