"He's excited," assistant head coach and defensive coordinator Gary Moeller said. "He's mostly the same. He's not as calm but he's not wild or raging. It's a special week for him, although he hasn't jumped over the moon or anything." In the not too distant future, the only thing Schembechler may be jumping over is the front porch of the football coaches retirement home. "THERE'S ONLY SO many Ohio State games left in this ticker," said the 53-year-old Schembechler. "I'll quit before I'm 60. As soon as I start getting beat I'll quit. That's one thing I can't hack. I really don't want to coach in my 60s." Moeller said that it is hard to envision Schembechler doing anything other than coaching. "I think he'll have a hard time with that one," Moeller said. Wolverine offensive guard Stefan Humphries disagreed. "I THINK BO has put in his time coaching," Humphries said. "He's had his problems. If you've seen some of the times he's gotten excited you wish he'd get out of coaching. Myself and my fellow players worry about him and sometimes worry that something might happen when he gets so excited. If he'd lose some weight I wouldn't worry so much. He's carrying a few extra poun- ds. I think he'd make a heck of an athletic director with his charisma." The athletic director's job is not in Schembechler's plans. "If you're talking about athletic administration, no," Schembechler said. Even though Humphries and his teammates worry about the effects of Schembechler's stormy outbursts and overly excitable nature, the 15-year Michigan coach believes he now takes things much more in stride. He cited the way in which he now handles the time he must take to talk to the press on Mondays. "NOW IT'S kind of relaxing to put the work away for a couple of hours," Schembechler said. "Before I resented going. You took two hours out of my time to talk to you dodos." Ohio State quarterback Mike Tom- czak and head coach Earle Bruce are now enemies of the Wolverines, but there was a time when Schembechler tried to get them on his side. "I'd have had Tomczak if I didn't have (quarterback Steve) Smith," Schembechler said. "You know I'd have had him. I tried to hire Earle out of high school when I was at Miami (Ohio). He turned me down." There's some disagreement as to whether this year's Michigan-Ohio State game has lost some of its luster since it will not decide the Big Ten's Rose Bowl representative. "Obviously this doesn't have the ap- peal to some people because there's no trip to the Rose Bowl," Moeller said. "But the coaches, and I hope the players, don't care as much about the title and the Rose Bowl as everyone thinks. It's Ohio State. To the coaches, it's more important than any bowl we've played in." SMITH, HOWEVER, feels that some of the mystique is gone from this year's game. "You know that win or lose you won't win the Big Ten Championship," Smith said. "That's a little bit depressing. But on the other hand, I think we'll get an opportunity to be in a bowl against a team that will really be a challenge, probably more so than the Rose Bowl." If the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes, that bowl will be the Sugar Bowl against Auburn. If Michigan loses, it will play in the Fiesta Bowl where Pittsburgh is its probable opponent. But what if Michigan and Ohio State tie? "I'm not sure of the ramifications of that," Schembechler said. "However, I firmly believe if it ended up in a tie we would undoubtedly go to the Sugar Bowl because we would have finished second in the conference ahead of Ohio State." Tomorrow's game will be the last time Michigan's seniors appear in Michigan Stadium. "I don't think it's hit me yet that it's my last home game," center Tom Dixon said. "It's a big deal, your last game at Michigan Stadium. I'm looking forward to it, but it'll bother me also." Said Smith, "I guess it's just starting to dawn on me a little bit more. It's my last regular season game as a senior. I guess I'm looking forward to it, but on the other hand I can't believe it's over and I just want to end on a good note."

STATE ST, 'OTHER' STATE INVADES YOST Ic ersupfor Sp ced backjto eliminate Northern Michigan By TIM MAKINEN last weekend, 4-2 and 9-4., This is State weekend and emotions are building to a feverish pitch. One may conjure up images of scarlet and gray legions assaulting Bo's boys. But for the Michigan hockey team, it means that the arch-rival Spartans of Michigan State will invade Yost Ice Arena tonight to begin a weekend of fierce hockey. The Wolverines travel to East Lansing tomorrow night to con- clude the series. "Everybody gets up for Michigan State," Michigan coach John Giordano said. THIS WEEKEND'S series is especially important for the Wolverines. Coming off a pair of losses to Michigan Tech last weekend, Michigan, now 2-4 in league play, needs a turnaround and must prove it can play against the CCHA's tougher op- ponents. At 6-2, the Spartans are worthy op- ponents. Their two losses came to Bowling Green, but the Spartans boun- Adding fuel to the Wolverine fire is the fact that Michigan State knocked off the Wolverines in all five encounters last season. But it was the last encoun- irtans Giordano, while conceding the game will be the typical hard-hitting, rough Michigan - MSU confrontation, also felt there was little chance the contest would get out of control. "WE RECRUITED several of those guys (on State), and they are really good kids," Giordano said. "So I don't think it's bad blood, each team just wants to get bragging rights. We have been very disciplined after the whistle so I don't see any reason for it to get out of hand." Carlile himself is not worried about any retaliation, dismissing Mason's remarks as "just talk." His enthusiasm is emblematic of the atmosphere of the Wolverine squad approaching tonight's game. "We're fired up," exclaimed the sophomore defenseman. "Everybody, on the team knows they swept us last year so we've got to win this one." THIS YEAR'S Spartans are far from the same Spartans that went to the national playoffs last spring. Unquestionably, the biggest loss for State was the departure of All- American goalie Scott. Freshmen Norm Foster and Bob Essensa have done a good job filling Scott's pads so far. Foster made 49 saves against Northern Michigan and sports a 2.61 goals against average. Essensa is recovering from a muscle pull but could. see action in the nets against the Wolverines. Up front Michigan State is led by senior Newell Brown and 'left wings Kelly Miller and Lyle Phair. Dan Mc- Fall and Brad Beck anchor the Spartan defense. But with the intensity involved in this series, any player on either team could rise up and provide his team with heroics. "We don't like them and they don't like us," said Wolverine co-captain Jim McCauley. Mason said, "Because it's such a great rivalry, it's going to be great hockey." IM Roundup Frats battle in mud... .., dentists drill each other Independent Bruisers 8, Heberts 0: The wind was so strong during this game that Ross Good of the Bruisers said, "If you were facing south you couldn't throw the ball." The Bruisers, however, were able to beat the Heberts despite the weather. Not only did they win but they dominated the whole game. By the fourth quarter the Bruisers were in so much control that they experimented with new plays and new players. "Our defensive rush, special teams, and great depth were the keys to our victory," said Good. The Bruisers scored their touchdown on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Tony Zambelli to Rick Katz. Fraternity Alpha Delta Phi 22, Chi Phi 0: Alpha Delta Phi's defense was the key to this game's outcome. Both teams played with conservative, controlled of- fenses. Alpha Delta Phi's defense, more aggresive than Chi Phi's provided the win on a number of important plays. Two of Alpha Delta Phi's touchdowns, for example, resulted from inter- ception returns. On the last play of the game, Mike Gaiss almost scored a third touchdown on an interception, but he was caught at the two-yard line. Alpha Delta Phi's other touchdown was scored by quarterback Ken Neods on a 40-yard run. Phi Delta Theta 12, Sigma Nu 6: This game could have been named the "mudbowl." Both teams found manuevering difficult in the one inch of mud they were forced to play in. Phi Delta Theta was able to overcome the con- ditions and edge Sigma Nu by one touchdown. Sean Insalaco of Phi Delta Theta said,"The whole team deserves to be commended. There were really no (individual) standouts." Credit must be given to Scott Walbinger, however, who scored both of Phi Delta Theta's touchdowns. He scored the first- by catching a 10-yard pass, while the second came on a 60-yard punt return. G/F/S D1-B, 28, D2-B 0: In probably one of the most enthusiastic games of the season, the Future Dentists beat the Future Dentists. Yes, both these teams are composed of first-year dental school students, turning the game into an exciting event. Over 50 persons, mostly other dental students, showed up to watch the game. "The game was hard hitting and competitive, but still friendly," said Bill Short, a member of D1-B. "Afterwards we went out and drank heavily." Tom Friedal played an outstanding game for D1-B as he intercepted three passes, caught two touchdown passes and threw one touchdown pass. The players of both teams dedicated the game to Keith Wong, a fellow den- tal student who was unable to make the game because of a serious illness.

In that game, a total of 31 penalties were called. The climax occured when Michigan defenseman Todd Carlile plowed over Spartan goalie Ron Scott. A bench-clearing brawl ensued. The play was either a smart move or a malicious attack depending on whether you wear blue or green. After the game, State coach Ron Mason said Carlile could "expect retaliation." MASON HAS cooled down con- siderably since then and does not believe tonight or tomorrow's game will get out of hand. "Since Scott is gone (drafted by the NHL), I don't see any carry-over from that incident," said Mason. "If they want to hit, we can hit. If they want to skate, we'll skate with them. We've got good self-control and it's up to the ficials to call what they see." 4 Ohio State coach Earle Bruce has more at stake than just a football game this weekend.
