Around Michi- gan's intramural and recreational sports facilities, it serves to keep things jumping-as well as bounc- ing, jouncing, trouncing, bashing, crashing, splashing, and goring, but certainly not boring. Entering its 58th year of exist- ence, the intramural and recre- ational sports program separates into two programs. One is the IM program itself, run by the staff located in the IM Building. The other division is club sports. These groups are somewhat autonomous, but club sports members cooperate closely with the IM staff. For IM sports, the staff has or-E ganied competition into ten divi- sions: Faculty, Residence Halls, Graduate, Independent, Fraternity 'Social), All campus, Co-recre- ational, International C e n t e r, North Campus Married Housing, and Special Events. Because a given division offers only a portion of the complete list of possible activities, interested persons should call the IM Sports Building at 663-4181 for any in- formation concerning where, be it IM or club sports, they might fit into the process of sacrificing a few peaceful moments. Most IM activity involves team competitions, but an attempt is made by officials to provide forl informal use. Team sports will soon be organied, but entries are' already being accepted for softball, golf and tennis. To handle these activities as well winter, the IM administration of- fers the usual facilities in addition to some new ones. Presently, the IM Sports Build- ing, the Ice Rink, Waterman Gym, South Ferry Field, Wines Field, j North Campus Murfin Field, the golf course and various sca playing areas ranging froi ROTC rifle range to bowling are used for the activities. construction is Fuller Field North Campus, and expandE will be made this season of Field House.

By DAVE 1IANNES There have been rumblings of discontent this past week on campus over the signing of Jim Essian by the Philadelphia Phillies of the Na- tional League. Essian was a high school star in football, basketball, and baseball at Detroit St. Martin's. The 6-2, 210 pounder was described by head football coach Bo Schembechler as "the outstanding prospect at running back in Michigan prep football." Essian had signed a letter of intent with the Wolverines. However, the Michigan freshman squad still boasts many fine players, possibly the most tal- ented group since Jack Clancy, Rick Sygar, and Bill Yearby played together a few years back. Surprisingly, only four states are represented on the team. There are eight athletes f r o in Michigan, 11 from Ohio, six from Illinois, and one from Indiana. The Frosh squad appears especially strong at the quarterback spot with five recruits. They are John Pighee, a 6-3, 190 pounder from Cleve- land, Bob Swan, 6-2 and 210 pounds from De- troit Redford, Jack McBride, 6-4, 185 pounds from Chicago, Larry Cipa, 6-4, 195 pounds from Cincinnati, and John Daniels. a 6-4. 192 pound- er from Newark, Ohio. Coach Louis Lee admitted that lie signed very few players that played only defense in their high school careers. Most of the freshmen who are to be defensive specialists will be switched from offense. At fullback there are Bob Mogulish f r o in Youngstown, Ohio, Greg Ellis from Connorsville, Indiana, and Tom Kee from Wheaton, Illinois. All three of these players have outstanding high school credentials and are counted on heavily by Lee, Other halfbacks who will be on this year's freshmen team are Randy Logan of Detroit Northern, Nick Cashion of Villa Park, Illinois, Alan Walker of Cincinnati. and Dave "Bo" Rather of Sandusky, Ohio. Coach Lee expects one or two men on tenders in other sports to try out for the team in addi- tion to the usual 30 or 35, walk-ons. "We've only got 26 boys now which is hardly a team," states Lee. "All we ask of a walk-on is that he have high school experience in football, be in good physical shape, and have a desire to play." In discussing the shape of his present team Lee says that they have recovered from their high school injuries and are in fine over-all condition. "A few are overweight but we'll take care of that," Lee promises. This year's schedule consists of a home game with Michigan State on October 25 and an away encounter with Notre. Dame on November 15. Coach Lee is looking forward to the games since they will be a good test of his players. "With only two months practice under their belts none of the teams will be very well coordinated but we hope to beat them with our personnel," he says. "This is definitely a much better schedule than we've had the last few years," claims Lee. "Before we played Bowling Green and Toledo. As far as Bowling Green goes we might as well have played an intrasquad game. Toledo gave us a fine game since that was our first game and their fifth. However, playing the bigger schools will be much more beneficial for us." Coach Lee is a former Michigan footballer him- self and a three year letterman as a defensive back. At the age of 24 Lee is just 16 hours short of his law degree. This term he plans to go to school part-time and carry six hours. A high school All-Stater at Abington High School in Pennsylvania, Lee was a graduate as- sistant the last two seasons as the freshmen de- fensive coach before Michigan Head Coach Bo Schembechler, gave him the reigns to the fresh- men team.
