t AFTER ILLINOIS WIN "BACK TO CAME FUNDAMENTALS"

'' ANN ARBOR Mich.(AP> — < ► Michigan is going to get back ♦ to basics this week in practice as the fourth-ranked Wolverines prepare for their football clash Saturday at Purdue. U-M fumbled six times and lost four of them in its 21-6 Big Ten victory last Saturday over Illinois. Coach Bo Schembechler was

upset at that statistic after the game, and Monday at his weekly news luncheon he wasn’t much different. “We have to go back to our fundamental stuff," he said. “We didn’t execute. . . Usually losing coaches talk about returning to basics, but we have to do that same thing. “We really stopped ourselves.

We were blocking pretty good out there. I think we would have gotten some good yardage and more touchdowns had we handled the ball better.” Schembechler said that “in my book no fumble is excusable.” Yet he then offered an excuse for a fumble by quarterback Dennis Franklin: “he still

has a bandage on his hand.” “Fumbles are just plain carelessness,” he said. “A runner has to have leverage on the ball. The ball has to be held high up in the arm pit area, but it’s hard to run that way. Every back knows when he’s about to be knocked down, so when he realizes that he should

bring the other hand over the,

ball.”

Purdue is the last hurdle before Michigan hosts conference coleader Ohio State for the title Nov. 24. OSU No. 1-ranked in the nation with 8-0 record, is 6-0 in the Big Ten, while the Boilermakers of Purdue are 3-3 in the conference and 4-5 overall.

I Want To Keep Playing,

Football s Been My Life’

By NORM CLARKE Associated Press Writer CINCINNATI Ohio (AP). — Once Reggie Harrison crashed his way out of the ghettos, the rest was easy. Now the record-setgi-ng University of Cincinnati running back would like to give pro football a run for its money. “I just want to keep playing football . . . it’s been my life,” says the 6-foot, 220-pound senior who has punctured enemy lines for a school record of 2,077 yards in three seasons. Harrison, raised in the black ghettos of Arlington, Va., said “Football got me out of the ghetto. I’m never going back to the streets.”

Ahead of any pro plans is some unfinished business. Saturday his ground-gulping act becomes a prize concern of unbeaten and nationally-ranked Miami of Ohio. The Redskins, 9-0, are seeking a victory over ancient rival UC to cap a perfect season. Harrison has a history of su-per-efforts against top-flight foes. A year ago, he ripped for 109 yards in the first quarter against highly-regarded Colorado and gave the Bearcats a 7-0 lead after one period. An injury ended his bid for a career best and with his loss, Cincinnati fell before a Buff landslide, 5614.

Later against Louisville, another nationally-ranked club, he galloped for 165 yards. “Football is to me what mathematics is to a genius. It comes easy,” said Harrison, who needs one more touchdown to tie the 60-year school mark of 26 in a career. He needs 237 yards in the two remaining games to crack the 1,000-yard mark this season. Bearcat backfield coach Wayne Jones says Harrison is “as good an inside runner as Otis Armstrong,” Purdue’s AllAmerica running back of 1972. Jones coached at Purdue last year. Harrison was a standout high school star at Arlington, Va., where he led the state with about 1,700 yards rushing his senior year. He ended up at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M and led the school to the 1970 national junior college football title, leading the team in scoring. Despite 470 yards in his sophomore season and 844 last year, he was ready to sit out 1973 because of differences with the coaching staff. He eyed the Canadian Football League. But the arrival of new coach Tony Mason changed his mind, and Harrison has been off and running ever since. Last May he was married on the day of the Bearcats’ spring intrasquad game. He marked the occasion with 174 yards and

two touchdowns. And last Saturday, after spending much of the week in traction at a hospital with a pinched neck nerve, he churned for 122 yards in a 14-8n!oss to Ohio University.

He likens his workhorse role to that of a battering ram. “You’ve got to run right at people. If you come hard at somebody time after time, somebody is going to get respect for somebody,” he says.

Bengals Fear Another Comeback Is Brewing CINCINNATI (AP). — The victory over the Buffalo Bills

Cincinnati Bengals, fearing another Joe Namath comeback, are working to get as many veterans as possible back into the lineup for the game here Sunday with the New York

Jets.

“I remember the last time we played them,” said Coach Paul Brown, “two years ago in New York, the last game of the season. “We were the team that Joe ‘came back” against that time too, and they beat us.” “Our job this week,” said trainer Marv Pollins, "is to get some people back ready to play.” The list includes rookie tight end A1 Chandler, veteran receiver Chip Myers and safety Tommy Casanova. Brown said he was breathing hard until the Bengals were able to pull out last Sunday’s NOTICE Sneak Preview—Greencastle High School basketball coach. Bob Shelton, will treat fans to a sneak peek at his Tiger Cubs Tuesday night when he will hold inter-squad games beginning at 7 in McAnally Center, The Freshmen squad, C’team, Reserved team and the Varsity team will each scrimmage among themselves. Admission for the evening will be 75 cents.

16-13 with a last second field goal by Horst Muhlmann. “I can’t tell you how many close ones like this we’ve lost,” since formation of the franchise in 1968,” he said. The Bengals have been decimated by injuries this season losing veteran linemen, running backs and quarterback Virgil Carter. Ken Anderson remains the only experienced player at the position. “You’ve got to remember,” said Brown of Anderson. “He’s in his third year and is going to be a good one. But we’re starting three rookies, and rookies make mistakes.” They are running back Charles “Boobie” Clark, and receivers Isaac Curtis and Tim George. “We’re going to have to play a lot better this week if we plan to win, there’s no doubt about

it.”

Brown complained that Cincinnati is “showing the great inexperience of our flankers” in recent games. He complained the rookies were having difficulty with bump-and-run and tunneling deployment by defensive backs. The result is, many times the receivers are unable “to get down field or down field on time.” As a result, defensive linemen have been getting to Anderson.

By MIKE HARRIS Associated Press Sports Writer TERRE HAUTE lnd.(AP>— Rick Murphy is a versatile football player and a little man with big ambitions in the gridiron sport. The Indiana State University senior has his eye on the pros and the 5-foot-10, 165-pounder is hoping the pros have their eyes on him. “I definitely want a shot at it. It’s just a matter of me finding the right place or them finding me,” the Lafayette, Ind., native said. “I’d like to play defensive safety or run back kicks, I suppose.” “I’m not a great sprinter, but I’m fast enough to stay with most of those guys (4.5 in the 40-yard dash). Kickoff returns are just a hit and miss thing, though. I’m learning that this year,” he added. Murphy led the nation in kickoff returns as a junior, averaging 32.1 yards per try. But this year he has managed only a 16.7 average and, with 368 total yards, is still 330 yards short of the national career record of 1,841 with just one game remaining. “At the beginning of the season I was really optimistic about kickoff returns. It’s been very frustrating...they’ve been kicking it away from me and squibbing it.” Murphy added with a laugh, “A couple of times this season I’ve run up to the opposing kicker after he’s kicked one out of bounds or squibbed it and called him chicken. But it

doesn’t do any good.” With the kickoff returns being squelched, Murphy had to find another area to excel in. So, he’s taken firm control of the defensive safety job for the Sycamores. The quick youngster has intercepted nine passes thus far this season to rank among the nation’s leaders. It also ties a school record. His 33 solo tackles are nine short of the school mark, he has broken up 11 passes for an ISU record and his returns have shattered about every possible previous achievement in that area at the Terre Haute school. Murphy is a bit disappointed by his team’s 3-7 record going into the season finale against Southern Illinois Saturday. But he said, “I think that all the team’s we’ve played this yearwere beatable. But the team that makes fewer errors and plays harder usually wins and we just haven’t been doing it.”

Coach Tom Mont Reviews Past Season After having won a stunning victory over Wabash on Saturday, DePauw University football coach, Tom Mont, was feeling good and was asked to reflect on this past season. He

also looked ahead to next season.

DePauwTias had a fine season this year having Bart Simpson who accumulated a whopping 1,009 yards in one season. In so doing he moved his career to an impressive 2,112. In Saturday's game, Simpson blitzed through setting a new one-game DePauw rushing mark of 190 yards, ensuring the return of the Monon Bell to De-

Pauw.

Speaking about the success of players like Simpson, Osles and Simon, Coach Mont stressed the importance of continuous, consistent discipline, control and an ability to make splitsecond winning decisions - - factors which determined the Tigers winning game on Saturday. Looking ahead to next season, Coach Mont sees a good season with every player returning except three. Every expectation is for an equally good season with experienced players and new records to set, he noted. Reflecting for a moment about the public response to football, and how it is seen here at DePauw, Coach Mont is optimistic. The Coach said, "The enjoyment we receive from watching good football is here to stay, yet today people order their priorities differently. Today football is one activity which enriches our lives, and is not the only activity we rally around." And so far as football is concerned here at DePauw, today is the good old days, Coach Mont added.
