Lila n . !)4r-k F l)O I JACKSON AND JAM 'Trains' carry By LARRY MISHKIN There is an old saying that trying to perform an impossible feat is like trying to "stop a freight train." If this is true, then the Michigan defense will have its work cut out for it in the Sugar Bowl as Auburn's wish- bone offense features a couple of "trains" that are as hard to stop as an old Iron Horse itself. THESE TWO power runners are sophomore Bo "Big Train" Jackson and Lionel "Little Train" James and they have been leaving opposing defen- ses lying in their tracks all season long. Running out of the Tigers' wishbone attack, along with quarterback Randy Campbell and fullback Tommie Agee, Jackson and James have rolled up 1215 and 728 yards respectively so far this season, thus making it impossible for opposing teams to key on only one of the two. "At running back we start with what EVERY MAN NEEDS A LITTLE -_ ON THE SIDE! Every man needs something to set himself apart from the rest. Something to single him out as independent, as a pace setter, as a leader! Finally, a high quality LaCoste knit shirt with a very unique emblem sure to make you the center of attention. Features include a ribbed knit collar, button placket front. bright colorfast dyes, and a 50% polyester 50% cotton blend for easy care. Available in red, royal, kelly and white.

"They could be two of the best in the country." IF THEY'RE not two of the best backs individually, they certainly are the best backfield combination in the country and behind them the Tigers have rolled to a 10-1 record, their first Southeastern Conference title in 26 years, including the automatic Sugar Bowl berth, and a number three national ranking. And it's certainly not coincidental that in Auburn's lone 1983 defeat, to Texas, the two trains were derailed for the only time this season and held for a combined rushing total of only 68 yards. Once either of these power backs gets the ball though, they usually are very hard to flag down as Jackson's 7.7 and James' 5.9 yards per carry attest to. The duo also are effective receivers, averaging 6.7 (James) and 5.6 (Jackson) yards per reception coming out of the backfield and have combined for 19 touchdowns, 14 for Big Train and five for Little Train. JACKSON'S 14 touchdowns make him the team's leading scorer this year with 84 points, but this is naturally ex- pected from the man who, with Herschel Walker jumping to the USFL, is' now called the premier running back in the south. The 6-1222-pound runner not only leads the SEC in rushing, but in all pur- pose running as well, averaging 119.3 yards a game. Big Train showed just how effective of a runner he is when he ran through Georgia's defense this year for 115 yar- ds in Auburn's 13-7 win that clinched at least a tie for the SEC title and handed the Bulldogs theirfirst conference loss in four years. Prior to the game, the Georgia defense had been surrendering a mere 106 totalyards rushing a game. A few weeks ago, when he first began to discuss the up-coming Sugar Bowl, Bo Schembechler jokingly pointed out that the Auburn runner and he shared the first name. "If he's named Bo, he's got to be good," the Michigan coach said humorously. IT IS probably only a matter of time before Schembechler has to find out just how good "the other Bo" really is. An All-SEC and freshman All- American last year, Jackson rushed for 196 yards against Florida, 105 yards against Maryland, 115 yards against Georgia anda season high 256 yards against Alabama. The best all-around athlete on Auburn's team, Jackson was the school's first three sport letterman in 30 years, excelling in track and baseball as well. "If (Jackson) isn't an All- American, there isn't one in the coun- try," said Dye. Just as Jackson physically lives up to his Big Train monicker, so does the 5-7, 170 James live up to his. In fact, Little Train is so small that he has to wear a single-digit number on his jersey (6) because a double-digit number wouldn't fit. BUT WHAT James lacks in size, he makes up for in ability. A member of the all-conference team in 1982, James led the nation in punt returns last year with 15.8 yards a return. This year that number has slipped to 7.7 yards, but he remains a threat on kickoff returns with a 23.7 average. As a senior, he is considered the heart and soul of the Auburn team, providing leadership by the way he plays. This was never more evident than in the Georgia game when he scored his team's lone touchdown and had his nickname changed, at least tem- porarily, to "The Little Engine That Could." Thus, on January 2 in New Orleans, the Wolverines will get the unenviable task of trying to stop these two runaway trains and it's a good bet that Michigan's success in stopping Jackson and James will determine its success in the game.
