"For those twenty minutes m
body is in turmoil. I feel I'm
in a state of total chaos. The onl
way I feel I can get through th
period is to pray."
This is how Bob Timberlak
describes his feelings in the twen
ty minutes before a game begins.
The senior quarterback sees hi
entire life in a religious context
Football and religion are inti
mately connected in his intens
mind. He is firmly committed t
becoming a Presbyterian minister.
"Football for me is strictlya
means to an end. It can and wil
enable me to help more people
For others it is a means to get an
education, an opportunity to se
up a business. For a few it is an
end in itself," says Timberlake.
Connects Collar, Pads
He connects the clerical colla
and football shoulder pads in an
organization called the Fellowship
for Christian Athletes. He was in
strumental in setting up a chap
ter on campus. The purpose of the
group is to discuss religious is

sues which affect the members as
athletes and to capitalize on the
y recognition which athletes receive
y in order to do greater service.
e Three other members of the foot-
e ball team are in the group-Dave
Butler, Brian Patchen, and Char-
e lie Kines. Bill Wade, Chicago Bear
- quarterback, is one of the most
active members in the national or-
s ganization.
t. Contact Ends Ordeal
- Timberlake's pregame ordeal)
e ends with the first contact. When
o the Michigan offensive hurricane'
begins to blow, it is "Timbo" in
a the storm's eye. He calls most of
11 Michigan's plays on offense. Coach
- Bump Elliott, however, will occas-
n ionally send in a play from the
t bench. Rich Sygar's touchdown
n pass against Michigan State was
such a play.
Timberlake has finally emerged
r as the running and passing threat
n that the coaches envisioned when
p they saw him as a prep quarter-
- back in Franklin, Ohio. Always

ing in his sophomore year, but
that is over now. He has com-
pleted 32 for 64 thus far for 464
yards and two touchdowns.
His running is better than ever,
highlighted by a 54-yard jaunt
last Saturday against Purdue.
When asked how he felt after the
run he candidly answered, "tired."
Thanks Linemen
Timberlake has hit for 349 yards

in four games so far, for a 4.8
yard average. He modestly thanks
"the tremendous offensive line"
for his increased running and
passing potency.
When Michigan faces Minneso-
ta Saturday he will have memor-
ies of Gopher teams of the past.
He calls Carl Eller, now playing
with the Minnesota Vikings, the
strongest man he ever played
against with Bobby Bell, another
former Minnesota lineman, not far
behind.
Timberlake is undecided about
whether he wants to play pro
football if he gets the chance.
Becoming a minister is in the
forefront of his mind. He leans
toward the seminary at Prince-
ton. He says that he shuns the
money of professional sports, but
realizes that the notoriety he
might receive would aid his work
as a clergyman.
In Bob Timberlake religious con-
viction and football ability are
synthesized in what Purdue Coach
Jack Mollenkopf called an "out-
standing football player."

BOB TIMBERLAKE (28) gives a straight-arm to Navy linebacker Pat Donnelly (38) whose team-

offense with 726 yards.
