H-mmmmmmmmmm. ON A GOOD day in 1975 or thereabout, the Wolverines would have hatched their opponents' goose egg-as a matter of fact, the adversary wouldn't even come close to scoring a touchdown, lest move the pigskin beyond the midfield stripe. The undesirable change in numbers over time has Bo Schembechler con- cerned about facing explosive offensive firepower, which quarterbck Dave Wilson and the rest of the Illinois attack have displayed the first six weeks of the season. Wilson, who has been fighting a two- month battle against the Big Ten over his eligibilty, shattered conference records for passing attempts, com- pletions, and yards Saturday when he hit on 35 of 58 passes for 425 yards in the games he has already passed for more than 1500 yards, completing nearly 55 percent of his tosses. IRONICALLY, THE Wolverines lead the Big Ten in most defensive categories, but Schembechler main- tains that "our defense has to improve if we want to be a factor." the time that means going for the big' play." He added that unlike other teams, in- cluding Minnesota (which the Wolverines defeated 37-14), Michigan's defense "does not send everyone in there (at the quarterback)."

Kickoff has been moved back to 12:35 p.m., but that starting time is still subject to change. offer some insights into the degree to which it has become more vulnerable to opposing offenses. During the 1970's Michigan yielded an average of 106.$ rushing yards, 226.3 total yards, and 8.04 points per game. This season, the Blue defense has allowed opponents an average of 128.3 rushing yards, 280.8 total yards, and 17.7 points per game. While Schembechler has downplayed the effect of injuries upon defensive performance, he couldn't help but shake his head when yet another Michigan defender, strong side half back Marion Body, went down with a bruised knee in the Little Brown Jug matchup against the Golden Gophers. Body's status is considered "day-to- day," and Schembechler said he won't know if the Detroit junior will be available for Saturday's game until later in the week. In an effort to explain the tendency of 1980's Big Ten teams to be more generous on the defensive side, Schem- bechler told reporters at yesterday's media luncheon that "teams apparen- tly feel they have to play much more aggressively defensively, and much of BUT HE ALSO said that despite his team's use of a more balanced defen- sive concept, "I'm very much concer- ned about us stopping other teams."

Mark Mihanovic An open letter to University President Harold Shapiro and Athletic Director Don Canham.. . Dear Sirs: The events of the past week concerning the hazing of freshmen hockey players (and one in particular), the subsequent punishments levied against certain individuals with regard to these hazings, and the newspaper accoun- ts of both, have been confusing and disenchanting, to say the least. And I must respectfully conclude that the actions which the two of you took in an attempt to resolve the matter only served to confuse and disenchant me more. President Shapiro, your initial reaction to the incident, in which one in- dividual was on the receiving end of a particularly punishing initiation ceremony, was one of indifference; in your eyes, the matter was "not serious." Several hours later you termed the players' behavior "deplorable" and "reprehensible." Which was it, President Shapiro? Did you change your position after learning more about the matter? Or did you switch stances only after realizing that the media and many in the University community would self-righteously proclaim moral indignation at this freshman hazing ceremony? Did you determine that you would have to condemn.the actions of the involved players, to save face and thus shed yourself of any of the responsibility? Mr. Canham, why did you decline to take at leastaportion of the blame for the fact that, in this instance, the hazing ritual was carried to an ex- treme? Why did you feel that it was necessary to suspend three, and only three players from this past weekend's series, thereby implying that they, and they alone, were at fault for what happenied? Why is it that when five football players were suspended for alleged drug violations, you allowed Bo Schembechler to handle it his way, but in this instance you deemed it necessary to-step in and take action yourself? Do you trust Bo to handle disciplinary situations more than you do hockey coaches Wilf Martin and John Giordano? I am amazed that after all the years the two of you have been integrally in- volved with the University, you would express such astonishment and anger with regard to the severity of the hazing process. The instance in question was isolated only in the fact that the hazing was perhaps (though not necessarily) taken to a greater extreme than previous hazings and that the recipient was less able to tolerate it than others have been. The hazing ritual, has been a tradition for years, not only among hockey team members, but, among "pledges" at various fraternities, as well. I am not about to condone the actions of the hockey players on the night of October 12, but I am not about to condemn them, either: My personal opinion is that the hazing process is one of those useless rituals borne of tradition that should have been cast aside years ago. I also feel that the hockey playes took it one step too far in a stupid fashion. But for the two of you, the media, and so many others to plead ignorance and implicate a few select individuals as the root of the problem is hypocritical. I have heard "hazing stories" in which the "hazee" was degraded to an even greater extent than that freshman hockey player, and I find it hard to believe that you, President Shapiro, and you, Mr. Canham, haven't heard the same. The standard reaction to these anecdotes is one of, "Those guys are crazy," a shake of the head, and a shrug of the shoulders. But now someone incurs greater injury than is usual, and everybody is up in arms, calling for peoples' heads. And three senior hockey players bear the brunt of the negative reaction, the fact that they were unable to play in a couple of games not nearly as damaging as the harm that was done to their reputations via the obvious implications. Again, those involved in the initiation of the freshmen hockey players acted with stupidity. But for the two of you to single out a few individuals as the cause is, quite simply, wrong. Certainly a punishment was in order for those directly involved with the incident. However, the blame should not be heaped upon those few while the rest of us return to our self-righteous shells The blame rests on many shoulders. Including the men at the top.
