He didn't re- main there long. Startling left halfback Jim Detwiler injured his knee in the opening game against North Carolina and then rein- jured it in the fourth game against' Michigan State. Detwiler was out for the year. Sygar bounced back into the Michigan offensive pic- ture once again. As a junior, Sygar played both- ways for a while after "Diesel Det" was hurt. He soon concen- trated his efforts for the remaind- er of the season on offense with good success. He led the Wolver- ines with 299 minutes of playing time and averaged 4.1 yards per carry after taking over at left half.

I wanted a challenge both academically and athletically," he added. After Sygar came to Michigan, he blossomed as a kicker by a turn of fate. He said, "we needed some- one behind Timberlake since Michigan had no kicking special- ist and it just turned out to be me." Compared to Men of Old Sygar is sort of a throw back to the triple threat players and 60 minute men of old. He is reli- able on both defense and offense and fills in wherever needed. He revealed that "it really does not matter where I play, I just like to play. As for offense ver- sus offense, they both have their merits. On offense, you concen- trate to score but defense has its good points."3 Sygar is majoring in architec- ture, a subject which takes quite a bit of time itself with all the drawings and projects he has to hand in. Sygar, who still needs two more semesters after this one to graduate, said that "I chose architecture because I have al- ways liked drawings and build- ings. It's quite a challenge, too," Future Unsettled As for what he will do after graduation, Sygar said that he will let things fall where they may. "If I'm drafted by the pros, I will probably try out. I have always dreamed of becoming a professional athlete." Still gradu- ation is a long way off, leaving the Ohio native time to decide his future. So far this year, Sygar has had both moments of glee and moments when he probably would rather stick his head in a gopher hole than show up in front of the press after a game. Against Purdue two weeks ago, Sygar was the goat of two cost- ly incidents. First, there was the punt by Purdue that bounced and "inLaA Cwff rlo ore n io cn v ' could make it. It was a percentage decision." Game Fumbled Away What people won't remember about the game is that it was not entirely Sygar's loss. Michi- gan had the ball on Purdue's two yard line with a first down earlier in the second half. Two Michigan fumbles gave the ball to Purdue and with them went the game. Last week's game was a hap- pier one for the Wolverines and for Sygar. He revealed "the game was a redemption by the entire team" as Michigan walloped Min- nesota 49-0 and Sygar had both his hand and his toe in on the scoring. He took a Minnesota punt on his onw 43 yard line and ran it back 57 yards for the score. He also added seven straight extra points in the victory. "We found ourselves last week," he concluded.

New fuels and new propulsion tech- niques must be found,ifwe ore to keep on exploring the mysteries of space.

Repairs in space. If something goes wrong with a vehicle in orbit, how can it be fixed? Answers must be found, if large- scale space operations are to become a reality. For this and other assignments Air force scientists and engineers will be cailed on to answer in the next few years,l we need the best brains available. 2. Lunar landing. The exact composition of the lunar surface, as 1 well as structural- and propulsion char- . octeristics of the space ^ : 0' vehicle, enter into this problem. Important study remains to be done-and, as an Air Force officer, you could be the one to do it! 3. Life-support biology. The filling of metabolic needs over very extended peri- ods of time in space is one of the most fascinating subjects that Air Force scientists are in- vestigating. The resultsi promise to have vital ram-4 ifications for our life on earth, as well as in outer' space.' MONTREAL A'P - Bobby Hull and his younger brother, Dennis, paced the Chicago Black Hawks to there four straight National Hockey League victory Wednesday night, a 5-3 decision over Mon- treal. It was the first loss after two victories for the Stanley Cup champion Canadians. Chicago is unbeaten. The Black Hawks. broke the game open with three goals inside of three minutes, 17 seconds in the second period. Bobby Hull started the barrage, snapping a 1-1 tie with the fourth goal of the season.

Space orientation. The orbital prob- lems of a spacecraft, including its ability to maneuver over selected points on the earth, are of vital importance to the mili- tary utilization of space.

The obil- ity of a spacecraft to change altitude can also be crucial to space operations.Where but in the Air Force could Sc.B.'s get the chance to work on such fascinating proj- ects right at tho start of their careers? 7. Pilot perfornance. Important tests.must still be made to determine howthe pilots of manned aero- spacecraft will react to long periods away from the earth. Of course not every new Air Force officer be- comes involved in research and develop- ment right away. But where the most'ex- citing advances ore taking place, young Air Force scientists, administrators, pilots, and engineers are on the scene. A good way to start is through Air Force ROTC. Superior students may qual- ify for Air Force scholarships. Many col- leges and universities also have a special 2-year Air Force ROTC program.
