Elliott Praise Ernie Sharpe - "a really-good all-around player" in the words of Bump Elliott-sat .onf a couch For 20 years he has lived foot- ball. "I've learned one important thing from playing," he says. "You've got to be =willing to put out a lot of effort in anything you do, whether it's in football or anything else." "There are 'guys who are sit- ting on Michigan's bench because they don't put out enough ef- fort. The same thing applied in high school," Sharpe explains. Football has been a matter of discipline for Sharpe since he was one year old and his gather gave him his first football. Still a Worker Today, as a junior halfback for Michigan, he is still the worker, the competitor, the guy who's will- ing to try. "Ernie has been subjected to difficult role this season, having to learn the plays for both half- back positions," points out Elliott. "But he's played well. He goes all out for the team." Sharpe started the first three games at left half and then switched to right for the Purdue game. The only game he didn't start was the Michigan State clash. Last year he played 121 mn- utes, starting one game as an of- fensive back and another as a de- fensive back. "He's one of the few players to go both ways since the platoon system was put in," credits offensive backfield coach Hank Fonde. Football Rugged "It does get pretty rugged," ad- mits Sharpe. "You come home tired and don't feel like study- ing for awhile . . . and zot! Be- fore you know it you've wasted a whole evening and you have to pull a couple of all-nighters to catch up. "But I like the game." Sharpehas been forced to al- ternate with seniors Jim Detwiler and Carl Ward but has still man- aged 95 yards on the ground (without losing a yard), 47 through the air and has complet- ed a 28-yard pass to Jack Clan- cy. Would Go Either Way "I'd even be happy to go back to defense next year if the coach- es wanted me to." In high school Sharpe also punt- ed and placekicked. His most memorable moment in his prep career came in his first game.
