"There's been a lot said about the water breaks," he continued. "We do have water breaks now - anything to prevent anything like that (Arnold's heat stroke) from happening again." In the past, Dooley said, practice tirr.e was cut during the week of a game, but there was no break. Now, he noted, there is a water break every 20 minutes. Practices usually run from or.e and one-half to two hours. Dooley did get around to talking about the upcoming game m Big Ten Country against Illinois, however, warning that the Illmi "are b:g ar.i strong." "Their quarterback, Mike Wells, is 6-4. 215 pounds," Dooley said. "He is ar. excellent passer and runner, and even kicked 47 and 4 yard field goals last year. "They also have Tab Bennett, a defensive tackle who is 6-2, 240 pounds." he continued. "He's faster than Don McCauley, and was timed at 4.6 for 40 yards. He's everybody's Ail-American." offensive lineman of the week honors for his part. "Their defense does quite a bit of blitzing and always puts a lot of pressure on the offense," explained Mooie. That line averages 225 pounds. Moore praised Illinois two sophomore linebackers, Chuck Kogut and Octavus Morgan. Greg Colby, another soph., has pushed starting rover back Dan Darlington to the bench, and John Wiza is a returning starter at middle linebacker. 'Their secondary has height and speed," Moore said. 'They'll give us a hard time there." Willie Osley, who runs the 100 in 9.6, is the leader there. Another defensive end is Alvin Keith, the surprise of Coach Bob Blackman's practice sessions. Known as "Spider Man" offense looking better Senior forward Karl Muster, one of four experienced starters on the UNC front line, thinks this year's squad will erase some of the bad scoring memories of 1970. One of the primary reasons for Muster's opinion is the return of senior Kip Ward, who missed all of last year due to ineligibility, but is back after a sparkling freshman season three years ago. He's having trouble getting underway because of an ankle injury, but he should be ready for the Tar Heel's home opener next Monday against Appalachian State.

'The thing that impresses us so much ' them," Dooley besides btcnz biz they q-" They als: have 35 lettermen returning, and their freshmen teams the past two ears have Illinois lost 10-0 to Michigan Stare- ut East Lansing last Saturday, tut according to Dooley. "Michigan State didn't step them, they stopped the.sel-.es." The Illir.i fumbled eight times, with the Spartans pickmg up seven of the bobbles. "When you fumble the rail eight times." Dooley said, "and or.:;. !e 10 to a good team like Michig-n State, the:, you've go: something. "It's very difficult to get any trend on their offense." he suid. "They utilize all the formations adn options, and play multiple-style defense. Bob Blackman believes in confusing the opponent." Blackman is m his first year as head coach at Illinois. He coached at Dartmouth for 16 years prior to coming to Illinois, amassing a 104-37-3 record. because he stands 6-4 and weighs 1S9. Keith has a 4.0 average in engineering. The Illinois offense lost seven fumbles at MSU, but Moore was still impressed with the running of Darrell Robinson and John Wilson. Robinson, a senior halfback, gained 7 73 yards last season. Wilson, a sophomore fullback, combines 207 pounds w ith 9.7 speed. At 6-5, quarterback Mike Wells runs and passes with equal dexterity. "He's especially dangerous on the option play," Moore said. He'll throw to dangerous split end Garvin Roberson, a soph who caught eight passes in the spring game, and tight end Jim Rucks. All-American, " claims Muster, who lost his head last year versus Appalachian, scoring three goals. "He's exceptionally talented and really loves the game." Dan Ariail was all over the field in last week's practice game versus Campbell and scored one of the two UNC goals in th3t contest. He was mistakenly credited with both goals, but made an assist on the second goal, w hich was actually booted in by freshman Steve Dawson. "Dan has it all," says Muster of Ariail, who was not an especially productive scorer last season.

Now we're eoir.c to have to w orrv about Illinois." "They ran most of the time at Michigan State," Moore said, "and they run from a variation of multiple offenses. They have a split T. a power I. and a power set formation for short-yardage situations." In short. "Illinois could have a very fine football team if they overcome their fumbles. Michigan State is one of the finest teams in the country, which should be considered when evaluating their performance. "And their defensive line will be one of the finest we face all season." Moore concluded. UNC starting guard Ron Rusnak missed last week's Richmond game with an ankle injury - Canadian senior Jim Papai will again start this Saturday. ball control and plenty of skill. Best of all, he's a hustler." Anson Dorrance, a junior transfer from Trinity CoUege, is the possessor of an outstanding kick, a talent that should result in a few extra goals that were missed so often last season. Still, things were a bit confusing and erratic in last week's scrimmage. With Allen in the process of rebuilding his line of defense, Carolina's veteran front line will be forced to solidify and produce in a hurry if the Tar Heels are to keep pace with upcoming ACC competition.

Wht this column is aKout is an old lbl pro football handbook, chronicling the ear when all of the above "name" players were still active in pro football. The rhdadelphia Fagles. you mav remember, were the defending NFL champions that year, having defeated the Green Bay Packers 17-13 in the championship game, but everyone knew they wouldn't repeat, and they didn't. A much more interesting comparison between 1961 and 171 can be drawn between the two editions of the Baltimore Colts. "Age has begun to bog down Baltimore.'" the handbook said, "and slow healing injuries have cut into the efficiency quota." Age, needless to say. ls hurting the Colts again this year with their two top quarterbacks going into their sixteenth pro seasons, while both Tom Matte and John Unitas are hobbled with injuries that "have cut into the efficiency quota.' "There's a refreshing odor of newness about the Washington Redskins," sas the ten year old guide, "who face 1961 with a new coach, stadium and offense." Their stadium is ten years old now, but the Redskins do have another new coach this year in George Allen, and their offense is bound to be different without veteran Sonny Jurgensen at the helm. Back in those long-gone New Frontier days of 1961, as you may recall, the New York franchise of the AFL was known not as the Jets, but as the Titans. The Titan's starting signal caller in 1961 was a guy named Al Dorow (how soon they forget, Al may be thinking at this moment) whom the football guide described as "the mainspring (of the Titans); if any of his parts break down, as they did on occasion in "60. the Titans WHY WAIT?

Arizona Slate, now one of the pro's leading football factories, was so little known then that the Sun Devils' hometown had to be placed m parentheses to distinguish it from other branches of the university. Of the 22 coaches who began the D'M season, only two. Hank Stram and Tom Landry, remain with their original teams. Fight former Tar Heels reported to various pro camps in I 96 1 , although onl three were veterans. The only team to have more than one former UNC gridder was Minnesota, in its first year as an NI L expansion team.

Chris Hanburger of the Redskins, Don McCauley of the Colts. Ken Willjrd of San Francisco, and Detroit Lion offensive tackle Frank Gallagher are left of the original nine, while rookies Tom Cantrell, Ron Grzybowski and Ricky Lamer were all cut by the Dallas Cowboys. Another rookie. Tony Blanchard. Ielt the Cleveland Brown camp and veteran Mike Richey walked out of the Buffalo Bills' camp. I could end this column with the old cliche, "the more things change, the more they become alike." But that would be too trite, so instead I'll say. "All's well that ends well."
