7 THE MICHIGAN DAILY FIREE ON STARTING TEAM: Sophs Hold Key to Cage Success OSU Fullback, Ferguson Named Back of Week T, 71 Me- r!- rq 1.~ a ,. _ By BILL BULLARD New faces on the Michigan basketball team give a promise of better things to come but inex- perience will have to be overcome first. "We're a young club and there's nothing you can do about that except get experience playing," commented Coach Dave Strack. Now in his second season as head coach, Strack is hoping to improve last season's 7-17 record which three victories better than the pre- vious year. His squad contains only three seniors and three of the startingteam are on the varsity for the first year. Harris at Center Although only 6'5", John Harris is set to be the Wolverines' center. Harris is a junior who sat out last season after transferring from Al- corn (Miss.) College. Despite his size he is a rugged rebounder who showed that he is capable to hold his own against taller opponents as he did with 6'7" Bill Buntin in the freshman-varsity game. Coach Strack expressed his con- fidence in Harris and added that Tom Cole, a 6'?" forward who was a starter last season, also could be counted on for rebounding help.. Oosterbaan Starting Forward Rounding out the front line is forward John, Oosterbaan. Ooster- baan sat out last season like Harris after transferring from Hope Col- lege. He scored 20 points to lead the varsity in the varsity-fresh- man game as Harris collected 18 points. Captain Jon Hall is returning to one guard position and sophomore Bob Cantrell is currently holding the other. The number three man is sophomore Doug Herner. These guards have good speed although Coach Dave Strack believes they weren't as fast as they could have been when they played the fresh- men. % No Rigid Lineup Guard Tom Eveland, center Doug Greenwold, and forwards Charlie Higgs and Barry Andrews would be the first replacements picked by Coach Strack. Since he has only seen his players in prac- tice and not in an actual game, he plans no rigid lineup. "I have my first few players picked out but it's very fluid," he said. Ball State Teachers College will be Michigan's season opener Sat- urday afternoon at Yost Field- house and it will be the first of nine non-league games. By the time the BigTen season opens, Coach Strack hopes his more inex- perienced players will have de- veloped to meet the stiffer compe- tition. By The Associated Press Ohio State's bulldozing Bob Ferguson, who closed out his fine college football career with one of his most powerful performances, was selected yesterday as the As- sociated Press back of the week. The rock-solid Buckeye full- back smashed 152 yards on 30 carries and scored four touch-' downs as Ohio State overwhelmed traditional rival Michigan 50-20 last Saturday. Other Top Games Top games also were turned in by Ron Miller and Jim Bakken of Wisconsin, Galen Hall of Penn State, Bill Harris of Colorado, Preacher Pilot of New Mexico State, Wendell Harris of Louisi- anna State, Earl Stoudt of Rich- mond, Pierce Frauenheim of Rut- gers, Randy Kerrow of Rice, Bill King of Dartmouth, Matt Szy- kowny of Iowa, Mallon Faircloth of Tennessee, Gary Cuozzo of Vir- ginia, Bill Tobin of Missouri and Bobby Smith of UCLA. Ferguson, an All-America as a junior last year and a prime can- didate to repeat, finished his final varsity season in typical battering style against the Wolverines. The 214-pounder scored on a 19-yard run and on three one-yard plunges, running his touchdown total for the year to 11. Muscle Charger A sheer-muscle charger with tre- mendous drive, Ferguson was the durable leader of Ohio State's powerful ground attack. He car- ried 202 times in nine games (eight victories, one tie) and:made 938 yards, averaging 4.6 per try. Buckeye Coach Woody Hayes regards him the best player in the country, and a more impartial observer labels Ferguson "A one- man gang of the Bronko Nagurski Miller and Bakken were back- field standouts in Wisconsin's 23- 21 upset of Minnesota.
