Ii tion is fullback. Captain John Herrnstein will headline the line- crashers. Tipping the scales at 215, Herrnstein has been tapped as an All-American candidate since the day he came to Michi- gan. In his sophomore year he gave plenty of evidence to support these predictiOns, but last year, in his second season, Herrnstein was handicapped most of the time by injuries.. Herrnstein Has Support A- healthy Herrnstein could en- hance Michigan's chances great- ly, but if-.injuries should strike again, Oosterbaan can call on two other- fullback lettermen. Gene Sisinyak and Tony Rio both return to give added insurance, as does sophomore John Walker. All indications point to Stan Noskins as the starting quarter- back on the 1958 squad. Noskin was Van Pelt's chief understudy most of last season. Last April, at the start of spring training, it was expected that Bob Ptacek would be the' man to replace Jim Pace at left half. But the-possibility of Noskin sustaining injury led the Michi- gan coaches into trying Ptacek out at quarterback: B Began, at Quarterback The position is not rally *a new one to the, blonde senior from Cleveland, Ohio. Ptacek originally came ,to Michigan as a quarter- back. With Ptacek, who excels at blocking, at quarterback, it is pos- sible that Michigan will use more single wing this year. If this is the 'case, Darrell Harper will do most of the ball-carrying from the left half position. When employ- ing the T-formation, fans can ex- pect to see Noskin or senior John Spidel at quarter and Ptacek at left half. Jim Sytek and Dave' Brown may also add some help. In th fall of 1957, as thebseason approached, the 'main problem that confronted the coaches was filling the right halfback position. Terry Barr had graduated and Shatusky was the only man re- turning who had some experience. This problem does not exist this year. -Brad Myers, who fought his way into the starting lineup last year, is only a junior. But a battle' for the starting post is bound to ensue between Myers. and Fred Julian. Julian, handicapped most of last season by injuries, im- pressed all observers in the spring workouts with his hard running and grim determination. Al Groce, also only a junior, will add depth at right half. Only Ends Secure The only positions in the line. that are secure are the ends. It is somewhat of a Michigan tradi- tion to have strong pass catchers. Walt Johnson and Gary. Prahst,, LOWEST PRICES' OFFICER'S SHOES the starters on othe 1957 squad, are both back. The Wolverines did lose Chuck Teuscher, a promising end who dropped out of school last spring, losing a semester of eligibility. It is possible that Spi- del may also see some action at end, as well as quarterback. Two sophomores should possib- ly provide some aid. They are John Halstead, a 205-lb. Bay City all-stater, and Gary Kane, a 6'2", 215-pounder from Elgin, Ill., who earned all-state honors in both football and basketball.
