Auburn is that different. It is almost the complete opposite of Ann Arbor. THE ONLY time you'd find any protests on the Auburn campus would be if the school cafeteria stopped ser- ving apple pie. Ed Hinton said it best in an article in the Atlanta Constitution in 1978. "This may be the most God-and-Country major university feft in the United States. The students once burned their yearbooks in a bonfire when they discovered they contained material they considered un-American. You'll never see a braless girl on Toomer Cor- ner. The three barber shops on the block do a good business and always have. The men of Auburn get their hair cut." Wow. That doesn't sound a lot like State Street. BUT HERE is one similarity between Auburn and Michigan-football. Both schools take their football very seriously, and both the Wolverines and the Tigers play a similar brand of the game. '(Auburn) may be the most God-and- Country major university left in the United States.' -Ed Hinton in the Atlanta Constitution The Auburn offense is about as ex- citing as Michigan was in the mid-70s. They run the ball a lot. Quarterback Randy Campbell averages just 12 throws a game. The Tigers run out of a wishbone, an offensive formation that has one fullback and two tailbacks. It gives the quarterback more options and is a thing of beauty to watch when executed properly. When it isn't, it is very dangerous and prone to fumbles. Auburn, however, executes it properly. The Tigers have coughed the ball up just 10 times this season. IN THE backfield for Auburn are the two halfbacks, Bo Jackson and Lionel Jones, probably the best tandem in the nation. But that's not all. Fullback Tommie Agee can also pick up yar- dage. When Maryland tried to key on Jackson and James, Agee picked up over 200 yards. The Wolverine defensive line will have its work cut out for it as it goes up against Auburn's offensive line, which averages 256 pounds per man. The Tigers defensive line is almost as big. Left tackle Doug Smith, at 6-6, 270 pounds, is second on the team in tackles with 84, and nose guard Dowe Aught- man (6-2, 269) is right behind him with 79. To show what kind of men play for Auburn, Aughtman says one of his favorite pastimes is riding around in a pickup truck while chewing tobacco. He probably was pretty upset when the Dukes of Hazard got cancelled. UNFORTUNATELY FOR Michigan, the Auburn defense is very good against the run, giving up just over 100 yards a game on the ground. Linebacker Greg Carr made sure not many running backs got past him as he made 122 tackles on the year. The secondary is a bit more vulnerable, allowing opposing quarter- backs to complete 55 percent of their passes. The Tigers gave up just over 200 yards a game in the air. Michigan coaches have just begun to look at the Auburn films and have no idea of what kind of game plan they will come up with for the third-ranked Tigers. Auburn coach Pat Dye wasn't even thinking about the Sugar Bowl last week since his team still had to play Alabama. But now the game's over and Dye will get down to business. And you know Dye won't have to bother with telling his players to get their hair cut. Auburn in the Bowls Bacardi Bowl Jan. 1, 1937 Auburn 7, Villa nova 7 Orange Bowl Jan. 1, 1938 Auburn 6.

Included in that questionaire is a question asking if the player has any super- stitions pertaining to football. The following are some of the better an- swers. Quarterback Dan Decker-'"'Listening to loud rock and roll previous to games." Middle guard Billy Harris - "Shake archeerleader's hand before a game." Defensive back Dieter Heren-"Eating steak before a game."~ Wide receiver Ken Higgins-"Wore same t-shirt under pads and same pair of socks every week." Defensive back Ed Hood-"Wearing socks low." Defensive tackle Mike Krauss - "A good luck kiss from mother or a girlfriend." Linebacker Andree McIntyre - "I feel I have to wear a blue bandanna every game." Quarterback Russ Rein-"My mother punches me in the arm before every game." Defensive lineman Jack Walker-"Carry pictures of nephews in side of socks." And, as anyone knows, star athletes have all kinds of memorable experiences. For most high school standouts about to enter the college world, these memories are of state championship games or thrilling victories over the crosstown rival. But when some Wolverine players filled out their biography before entering Ron Pollack Michigan football Michigan, the memorable experien- ces they listed were a bit more unusual. Linebacker Mike Boren - "Meeting Woody Hayes after he was fired." Defensive back John Ferens-"Greatest sport memory was a 50-yard run for first career touchdown in peewee football (sixth grade)." Wide receiver Mike Sessa-"Anyone beating the Dallas Cowboys." Quarterback Steve Smith-"When I kissed my first girl and second and third, etc...." Krauss apparently was thinking along similar lines when he listed as his hobbies, "Rollerskating, jogging, kissing." Perhaps the most uncommon hob- by on the Michigan squad belongs to offensive lineman Rick Frazer who listed the "restoration of a 1940 panel truck" as one of his interests. But when is comes to hobbies, the Auburn squad more than holds its own. Split end Clayton Beauford and quarterback Randy Campbell list dating as a hobby. Free safety Nat Ceasar-Likes to disco roller skate. Cornerback Chuck Clanton - likes to play putt-putt golf. Noseguard Harold Hallman-Hobbies are running, karate, and "anything with a lot of contact." Donnie Humphrey-Likes to wat- ch soap operas on television. Offensive guard Jeff Lott - The team comic. He is said to be great at Rich Little-type impressions of coaches and teammates. Defensive tackle Joe Man- ning-Lists watching TV as one of his hobbies. Defensive tackle Doug Smith-Likes to deepksea fish. He once caught a six-foot shark. Halfback Terry Walker-Lists eating as one of his hobbies.
