wp SEPTEMBER 14. 1962 THE MICHIGAN UDAILY PAGE NIME QB LIGHTER, FASTER: Chandler's Knee Improved Know Your Positions: Outside Linebacker G - im- raxvt+ ( Snnr% By DAVE GOOD The biggest bandage still be- longs to Bob Chandler. But Michigan's hard-luck quar- terback, relegated to the inevitable role of a reserve since a knee in- jury sidelined him in the Michigan State game two years ago, is the one everybody is talking about during the first two weeks of fall football practice. Although Chandler is listed as only the fourth-string quarterback all-stater is more hopeful than ever about getting to play football for Michigan.- Feels Good "I feel the best of any time since when I got hurt," Chandler ex- plained. "I had a little trouble with my knee last year because I was heavier and it was harder to move. "But I got my weight down to 195 loading trucks on a dock job and I worked out a lot on my own and with my high school team." Dr. A. W. Coxon, the team phy- sician, is optimistic too. "I'd say he looks like his old self," Dr. Coxon commented. "His knee is. solid, and of course he still has a pretty good arm.". Fonde appraises Chandler as much faster than last year but still not up to par with his condi- tion before the injury.I Not as Flexible "I don't think his leg is as flex- ible as it was, but of course just having the tape on his knee would tend to make it stiffer. But he's real trim and is, moving well," added Fonde. Fonde, who insists that Glinka's job is not safe - "Nobody's job is safe" - does imply that under the proposed three-platoon sys- tem Chandler stands a much bet- ter chance of quarterbacking the offensive specialists rather than the starting team, which is slated to go both ways. The reason is simple enough. Chandler says that since his high school coach did not believe a starting quarterback should play defense too, he has had but little experience in the defensive sec- ondary. Besides this, Fonde feels that Chandler probably is still not fast enough for defense. H o w e v e r things turn out, Piersall, Fan Arrested For Disturbances BALTIMORE (A') - Washing-: ton's centerfielder Jim Piersall was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct tonight when he went into the stands at Balti- more's Memorial Stadium after a fan who was heckling him. Police said Piersall was warm- ing up before the. game last night between the Orioles and the Washington Senators when a fan, Joseph Martin of Baltimore, be- gan heckling him. Police said Piersall invited Mar- tin to come out on the field, but Martin, instead, told Piersall to come into the stands. Police Sgt. Walter Mina came between the two men before any physical contact was made; police said, and arrested both foradis- orderly conduct. Piersall and Martin posted $53 collateral apiece and returned to the game. A hearing in the case is sched- uled this morning in Baltimore Municipal Court. Chandler is happy that he is still able to play at all. Dr. Coxon rem- inisced that twenty years ago,1 when physicians were using casts3 instead of operations, Chandler would never have been able to play again. In fact, the operating physician, Dr. Hayes, would like to- see the crew-cut junior give up the game. But Chandler just smiles and says, "I really enjoy it and I guess that's what keeps a guy coming back. And the thought that I'll have an extra year of eligibility adds to the desire." Bob Chandler wants to play football. Injuries Plague Ohio State and Purdue Coaches COLUMBUS, Ohio - Near 90- degree temperature gave Ohio State's battered Buckeyes a little rest today as coach Woody Hayes held only light workouts. Eight regulars are sidelined with a an assortment of injuries. From the offense, tackles Bob Vogel and Darrell Sanders, halfback Bob Klein and fullback Dave Katter- henrich are out. On the defense linebacker Gary Moeller, guard Ray Krstolic, defensive back Bill Mrukowski and end Matt Snell are sidelined. *s* * LAFAYETTE, Ind.,-Faced with mounting injuries, Purdue coach Jack Mollenkopf limited contact in today's practice session. Sidelined with assorted injuries were fullbacks Tom Yakubowski and Roy Walker; left tackle Don Brumm, halfbacks Tom Fugate and Jim Morel; and quarterback Wayne Harvey. * * * ANN ARBOR-Coach Bump El- liott yesterday described his Wol- verines as "green-but a solid team with striking potential." Elliott, speaking at a football luncheon, predicted his football players would "take their toll" on the field this fall." He worked his charges lightly in a practice cut short by bad weath- er yesterday. PITTSBURGH (A') - In pro football today, the outside line- backer probably receives less at- tention from the fans than the guy peddling the programs. Ask the Sunday crowd to name the best linebackers in the Nation- al Football League and they'll usu- ally evoke the names of Detroit's Joe S c h m i d t, Chicago's Bill George, New York's Sam Huff and Philadelphia's Chuck Bednarik -- all middle linebackers. But take it from veteran outside linebackers John Reger and Tom Bettis of the Pittsburgh Steelers. the outside man is just as import- ant as the middle linebacker and even more so on pass defense. "Each man has his own position to cover and the responsibilities are different," said Reger, a Steel- ers' starter since his rookie season in 1955. "But a middle linebacker can rove around more and that's why he gets all the tackles. "There's no comparison on pass defense," the 6'-1", 230-lb. Reger added. "All the middle man has to cover is the hook zone. But the outside man has to be prepared for the short pass, the screen pass and the long pass. "And that's tough when you have a guy like Bobby Mitchell (of Washington), who starts out like he's going to block you and just as Cheerleaders Practice Practice for any man inter- ested in cheerleading will begin this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. In the small gym in the Inter- mural Building. Tryouts will be held during the latter part of next week. you prepare for that he cuts out and dashes down the field taking a pass on a dead run. That's a tough play for the outside line- backer to make, and that's why guys like Mitchell catch a lot of passes for touchdowns." Bettis, who played three years as a middle linebacker and four as corner man with the Green Bay Packers before being traded to the Steelers this year, agrees with Reger. "The outside man definitely has more responsibility on pass de- fense," Bettis said. "He has to be able to cover those fast backs like Willie Galimore (of Chicago) all the way down the field man-to- man. "And all the time he is cover- ing those passes he also has to be ready for secondary pursuits like on end runs and pitchouts." In Reger's view, the toughest play for an outside linebacker to defend is the screen pass, not the long pass to the break-away run- ner. "Usually, there's a fake draw on the play," Reger, a Pro Bowl choice the past three years, ex- plained. "That gets you somewhat out of position. Then, the ball is flipped out there and its you and two or three blockers. When you see a man break up a screen pass, you know he's done a good job." Both Reger and Bettis think an outside linebacker should get more credit from the fans, but neither is resentful toward his teammates who play in the middle. "I played the middle one year myself," Reger said, "and I got a lot of publicity. But I'm just as happy on the corner." "Naturally the middle lineback- er gets more publicity," Bettis add- ed H'.'e's always in the thick of things. But the outside responsi- bilities are just as great, and I'm fortunate to have experience ply- ing both positions." And besides, it certainly beats selling programs.

Natural Science Auditorium BOB CHANDLER ... heir apparent? in the Michigan Gridiron Guide's tentative lineup, his stock seems to have skyrocketed with two news bulletins released in practice: Lighter, Faster 1) Chandler has returned 20 lbs. lighter than he was last year and is maneuvering better than at any time since his injury. 2) Head Coach Bump Elliott has prepared to use the three-platoon system of sending in replacements rand could name the personable junior as signal-caller on his squad of offensive specialists. In fact, Elliott and Backfield Coach Hank Fonde have made it plain that Dave Glinka, the regu- lar quarterback for two years and the logical choice to start this year, could still be unseated by Chandler or sophomores Frosty Evashevski and Bob Timberlake. Get Extra Years Evashevski was another knee- injury victim and, like Chandler, was granted an extra year of eli- gibility by the Big Ten. Chandler has been the best passer on the team . and was ranked nearly even with Glinka when both were sophomores. But since his early-season injury that year, Chandler has seen only 22 minutes of action, all last year. He completed six of 11 passes, one a picture 36-yarder to end Bob Brown for a touchdown against Army.
