THE MICHIGAN DAILY Irerrnstein s Grid Career Ended by Knee Injury 'ullback Tears Ligament, aces Possible Operation CRUCIAL AERIAL INTERCEPTED: Wilson Defends Final Quarter Pass Against Rams By AL JONES Daily Sports Editor The curtain was drawn last Saturday on one of the most po- tentially brilliant football careers in Michigan history. John Herrnstein never reached that potential because he coildn't beat one of the most persistent in- jury jinxes any athlete has ever experienced. Although it has generally been concede that Herrnstein is through for the season, Michigan Coach Bennie Oosterbaan hasn't given up all hope. Serious Injury "The doctors aren't' really sure yet," Oosterbaan stated yesterday. The injury is a severely torn hga- ment of the knee, which is gen- erally felt to be one of the worst injuries an athlete can suffer. Whether the doctors will operate is still a question. "They will decide soon if an operation is necessary for recovery, and then it will be up to Herrnstein," Oosterbaan said. Rather than a recurrence of one of the 'M' captain's former in- juries, this is something entirely new. Game films revealed that the rugged fullback was hit fully upon the knee with a block, described as "good and clean" by Oosterbaan, Apparently Herrnstein didn't see the blocker coming. Last year as a junior Herrnstein was kept out of most of the season with an injured foot suffered against Michigan State. Early this season he broke his cheekbone and nose in practice, and then was out of the MSU game with another head injury. Rio Elevated The loss of Herrnstein, which Oosterbaan is forced to consider final, "unless we are very pleasant- ly surprised later in the season," means the elevation of Tony Rio to the first-string backfield. The Herrnstein injury has given a new twist to the anticipated re- covery of Jim Byers, who injured his knee before the season started. Touted to be starting center, Byers was thought to be lost for the sea- son. The fact that Byers played his first two years at fullback, and then switched this fall to fill the pivot hole left by the graduation of Jerry Goebel and Gene Snider has caused Oosterbaan to change the 'M' senior back. Needed at Fullback "We don't know if he will be able to play yet," the 'M' mentor said, "but if he can we will need him at fullback. We won't know for about a week if his knee will be able to stand the strain of contact." Byers was out at practice yester- day for the first time. The fact that Jim Dickey has filled in well at, center, and the recovery of sophomore pivotman Dick Syring has enabled Oosterbaan to switch Byers back to fullback. Besides the loss of Herrnstein, the squad is still without the full services of guard Tom Jobson, tackle Willie Smith, and halfback Gary McNitt. All three missed the Navy game and are on the ques- tionable list for Northwestern. -Daily-Harold Gassenhener END OF THE LINE-Michigan football captain John Herrnstein watches the second half of the Navy game last Saturday from the bench, covered with a blanket. He suffered a torn knee ligament, ,and is probably through for the season.

He was re- ferring to a pass play called by him which resulted in a key inter- ception by the Los Angeles Rams Sunday at Detroit. The score was tied 28-28 late in{ the fourth quarter, when the Lions started a series of downs from their own 37 line. Six running plays moved the ball to the Rams' 22. On third and three, Earl Morr- all, playing his first game for the Lions, ran to the bench for instruc- tions from Wilson. Morrall, who earlier' had. thrown a 54-yard touchdown pass to Hopalong Cas- sady, stepped back and threw one aimed at Jim Doran, but Ram halfback Jack Morris picked it off thereby ruining any Detroit hopes for victory as Los Angels rolled to two touchdowns. In the last two minutes to win, 42-28. Going for TD "We were going for the TD," said Wilson. "We only call about half a dozen bench plays in a game, and 99 times out of 100, that pass wouldn't have been inter- cepted." For a while it looked as if the Lions might win their first game of the year in a wild contest which saw 42 points scored in the second quarter and Lion punter Yale Lary have his first kick in 143 tries blocked.
