■ The Ohio State coach
must cope with a crushing
loss to Michigan State,
which dashed title hopes.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - In
1963, as a 25-year-old only a year out
. of college, John Cooper applied for
an assistant coaching job at Oregon
State. While interviewing with
Coach Tommy Prothro, he was given
advice that he would never forget.
“He said, ‘John, in coaching there
are a lot of peaks and valleys. The
longer you’re in it, the peaks don’t
get any higher and the valleys get
deeper,”’ Cooper said.
The 61-year-old Ohio State
coach added, “I’ve been through
some valleys, but the one this week
was particularly deep.”
During head coaching stints at
Tulsa, Arizona State and 11 years
with the Buckeyes, Cooper has won
176 games and lost only 73. But he
may be remembered more for some
losses than for winning two Rose
Bowls and twice leading teams to
No. 2 in the final Associated Press
poll.
The latest defeat was as painful
as any for buckeyes fans, and that’s
saying something.
After all, four times in the past
six seasons, Cooper’s teams have
been unbeaten in November. Each
time, they lost to a school from
Michigan.
Ohio State - ranked No. 1 all sea
son - .was a 28-point favorite
Saturday against Michigan State.
Ahead 17-3 after one quarter and 24
9 midway through the third period,
the Buckeyes squandered the lead,
depressing fans hoping for the
school’s first national championship
in 30 years.
Cooper has become accustomed
to the aftershocks following unex
pected defeats.
“When you lose, you can’t
sleep,” he said. “So I got up early and
went to work a little earlier than
usual, around 7:30 in the morning.
And some of the coaches were
already there.”
The Buckeyes practiced Sunday
while still in a state of shock. Cooper
said he didn’t belittle his players and
didn’t have to point out mistakes.
“The worst thing you can do
when you lose like that is to go out
and yell and scream and berate
them,” he said. “They feel as bad as
you do.”
If he read the local newspaper,
he would have seen the article criti
cizing hi^play-calling on Ohio
State’s final two series. Those call
ing in to radio shows this week have
continually ripped Cooper and his
staff for running on 12 straight plays
on the next-to-last series, then pass
ing all six downs on the Buckeyes’
last chance. Neither produced
points.
Cooper was asked about his play •
selection after the game.
“That’s some real good second
guessing,” he said.
He declined to say it was the most
disappointing loss of his career.
Given the opportunity during his
weekly news conference to blame his
quarterback Joe Germaine, he
defended him instead.
“It’s a team game,” he said.
He got angry when told that some
TV analysts had singled out a fresh
man fullback for missing a block that
halted the Buckeyes’ next-to-last
drive. Cooper said the player did his
job and there were breakdowns else
where.
“That’s ridiculous,” Cooper said.
With an 8-1 record and a No. 7
ranking, the Buckeyes now must
seek something other than a national
championship. 5?
“The worst thing you can do is
hang your head and feel sorry for '
yourself,” Cooper said.

NEWCOMBE from page 11
ported me since the time I got die
injury,” Newcombe said. “It’s the
same with the state of Nebraska
98 percent of the state, or more, has
supported me throughout this.”
Throughout the season,
Newcombe said, he has learned a
great deal from the injury and that
every experience would help him be
a better player - even when airports
lose his luggage.
“I’m just going with the flow,”
Newcombe said. “Certain things
just pop up for me. I lost my lug
gage, and I had to deal with that sit
uation.
“The experiences I’ve had over
the last two months, money can’t
buy. It’s definitely made me a
stronger person.”
