a SPORT S The Michigan Daily Saturday, October 4, 1980 Page 9 MICHIGAN CALIFORNIA Cal passing game 'Golden' OFFENSE By GARY LEVY Michigan's defense will be tested by the opposite extreme from last week when it hosts California this afternoon in Michigan Stadium. The Wolverines (1-2) will have to ad- just from George Rogers and the South Carolina ground game to Rich Cam- pbell and the Golden Bears aerial at- tack which has Michigan coach Bo Schembechler wary. "CAL HAS GOTTEN off to a disap- pointing 0-3 start, but you can't take a. team like them lightly by any means,'' said Schembechler. "They have a great passing game. Everyone knows about Rich Campbell at quarterback, but they also have great receivers. If you allow a passing attack like they have to get hot, it could be a long afternoon." Campbell has amassed 6,171 career passing yards and needs to average 206 pagsing yards per game to break the NCAA record of 7,818 yards. In Califor- nia's three losses this season, the 6-5, 220-lb. senior has completed 93 of 128 at- QB Campbell guides Bear aerial circus tempts for 1,023 yards and three touch- downs. His primary targets are fullback Dave Palmer (20 receptions, 121 yar- ds), tight end David Lewis (15 recep- tions, 161 yards), split end Matt Bouza (10 receptions, 179 yards), and flanker Holden Smith (seven receptions, 142 yards). SCHEMBECHLER'S concerns of controlling the California offense have compounded since the Golden Bears added a ground game to compliment it's passing attack. "It was almost non-existent a year ago. Now they average about 100 yards a game," said Schembechler. "That might not seem significant, but a year ago, they passed for 300 yards and had 17 yards rushing. We can't hope to hold them anything close to that." California's question-mark is a defense which has allowed 41, 26, and 31 points in it's three losses to Florida, Army, and Arizona. But Schembechler said that the score has not been in- dicative of the defense's performance. "CALIFORNIA'S defense has been placed in difficult positions in almost every game. Their offense has turned the ball over 13 times, and it has had a very adverse effect on the defense," said Schembechler. "We think their defense is equal to last year's, which we felt was one of the toughest we played last year." Michigan hopes to rebound following its consecutive non-conference losses to Notre Dame and South Carolina and Schembechler admitted that today's contest will be tough mentally for his squad. "We lost two ball games that we easily could have won. That takes its toll. Now's the time the character people will stand up to be counted," said Schembechler. "What we do today will be important to how we do the rest of the season." This will be the eighth meeting bet- ween the two schools, with Michigan holding a 5-2 -edge in the series. Last year, the Wolverines upended Califor- nia, under third-year coach Roger Theder, 14-10, at Berkeley. Cal led 10-0 at the half, but fumbled the second half kickoff inside its 10-yard line, leading to a Michigan touchdown. Last Saturday's loss to South Carolina was only Michigan's sixth home loss in Schembechler's 12 years as coach.

(AP)-The Illinois Supreme Court rejected the Big Ten Conference's appeal yesterday and cleared the way for University of Illinois quarterback David Wilson to play in today's non-conference game against Mississippi State. The Big Ten had gone to state Supreme Court Justice William G. Clark on Tuesday in its attempt to declare the junior college transfer academically ineligible to play football for the Illini this season. A THREE-JUDGE state appeals court had ruled 2-to-1 two weeks ago that the 21-year-old Calfornian could play while his lawsuit against the Big Ten was pending in Champaign County Circuit Court. Three of the court's seven justices dissented. The Supreme Court issued only a three-paragraph order with no opinions attached. The Big Ten had ruled that Wilson should be classified as a senior, and therefore isn't eligible to play for the Illini this season because he hasn't made enough academic progress. Wilson has led the Illini to a 2-1-1 record this season despite his on-again, off-again eligibility and his court fight with the Big Ten. ght from a California. vas assem- San Diego to confront g fire of the ve been the d before it by Big Ten catch the nbus.

The UCLA offense, after scoring 35 points last week in the Bruin shutout of Wisconsin, has grown into a balanced attack with the passsing of quarterback Tom Ramsey and the running of tailback Freeman MacNeil. The Buckeye defense will have its hands full with MacNeil who has rushed for 235 yards this year and is averaging 5.5 yards per carry. Whether the Bruins fare well at Columbus or not, the West Coast will be scoring points today, as San Diego State visits Madison. The 2-1 San Diego team proves to be exciting as quarterback Matt Kofler teams up with his favorite receiver Bobby Taylor. Against Missouri San Diego's running game was held. to 14 yards but Kofler was able to complete 14 passes for 218 yards. The aerials unfortunately left San Diego on the short end. Illinois will be in another exciting game as it meets - Emory Bellard's Mississippi State Bulldogs. The two teams appear evenly matched which will put the~ Illini in another thriller. Michigan State looks for an upset as Notre Dame' comes to town. The 1-2 Spartans boast running back- Steve Smith and quarterback Brian Clark as their sparkplugs in their upset bid. Indiana puts a fine team on the field against a weak" Duke squad, and unless the Blue Devil passing game catches fire Indiana should run wild. Purdue hosts Miami of Ohio while Iowa entertains Arizona. The only intra-conference game to be played this week is Minnesota at Northwestern. Golden Gopher coach Joe Salem looks to even his record at 2-2, as the Wildcats hope to find their first win of the season. SPORTS OF THE DAILY Harriers take first r .
