Returns
By BOB WOJNOWSKI
In a wacky Big Ten season that has
sen Northwestern beat Minnesota,
Wisconsin beat Ohio State and
everybody beat Michigan State,
Michigan head coach Bo Schembechler
is happy to be where he is - undefeated
(40 Big Ten, 4-2 overall) and all- alone
in first place in the Big Ten.
"Right now, there are nine teams
hoping to get us - we're the only one
that hasn't lost," said Schembechler at
his weekly press luncheon yesterday.
"We couldn't ask for any better position
right now. But, there's a long way to go
-= a long way."
riding along undefeated and then boom,
boom, they're out of it. That North-
western loss probably took something
out of them."
That Northwestern team also hap-
pens to be Michigan's opponent this
Saturday, so Schembechler was more
than complimentary about a Wildcat
team that is 2-5 on the year, with a vic-
tory over Northern Illinois in addition
to Minnesota.
THEY'VE GOT a good offense,
they're very definitely improved over-
last year," said the Wolverine head.
coach. "We don't want to take them,
lightly, they're capable of beating;
anyone."-
The Wildcats have relied heavily this
season on the throwing arm of fresh-
man quarterback Sandy Schwab and
Schembechler expects to see the ball in
the air again this weekend, as well as
the next weekend, as well as
the next weekend and the next . ..
"There will- be 200 passes thrown
against us in the next four games," he
said. "We've got Northwestern, Min-
nesota, Illinois, and Purdue, and
they're all going to throw the ball."
ONE PERSON who threw the ball
well during last Saturday's 29-7 win
over Iowa was Wolverine quarterback
Steve Smith, who completed 13 of 24
passes for 172 yards and earned the
praise of his coach.
"I thought he played a helluva
game," said Schembechler. "He might
have had about two bad plays, that's it.
"We didn't run him a lot, that was by
design. I don't want him running a lot,"
he continued, referring to the fact that
Smith carried the ball only three times
in the game.
TUOUGH RE was obviously pleased
with the victory over the Hawkeyes,
Schembechler nevertheless found the
customary black cloud in the silver
lining.
"We gotta play better," he said. "I
think we played pretty good defensively
but offensively we didn't block as well
as I might have liked. Give some credit
to Iowa, they're a pretty good team."
The best of the Michigan defensive
contingent was cornerback Jerry
Burgei, who was named the team's
defensive champion of the week.
Tailback Lawrence Ricks, who rushed
for 120 yards, was the offensive cham-
pion. The only debilitating injury suf-
fered by a Wolverine was a knee injury
incurred by backup tackle Bob
Popowski. His status for the rest of the
season is uncertain.
Cornerback John Lott, who suffered a
forearm fracture two weeks ago and
didn't make the trip to Iowa, will return
to practice this week and may see some
playing time against the Wildcats.
Defensive tackle Kevin Brooks, who
went out with a knee injury in the In-
diana game, will start running again
this week and could see action as early
as next week. Backup tight end Eric
Kattus is still suffering from recurring
inflammation of the knee and is out for
this week's game and possibly the

THIS YEAR THE REPUBLICANS ARE TELLING US THAT
BACKWARD IS FORWARD.
Michigan's recovery cannot be led by those
reviving all the old, useless quarrels that
have separated business and labor, men
and women, Detroit and outstate, citizens
and their government. Our recovery
depends on everyone, men and women,
black and white, all trained and educated,
treated fairly, working together well. Our
recovery depends on a strong system of
public education-our economy tomorrow
reflects the quality of our schools today.
We need new leaders and new policies for
a state government that knows how our
resources, public and private, will work
together.
