The Michigan Daily-Friday, April 6, 1979-Page 15 MARSH, LEONI ONLY VETS Blue blockers lack depth By MARK BOROWSKI "Experience, there is just no substitute for it," says offensive line coach Jerry Hanlon. Unfortunately for Michigan, this will be something the Wolverines will be lacking when the football season begins next fall. Almost the entire offensive line that started in the Rose Bowl last year has graduated. Bo Schembechler is looking for someone to replace Bill Dufek and Jon Giesler at the tackle positions, Steve Nauta at center, and Greg Bar- tnick at one of the guardpositions. The Wolverines will have to depend on the linemen they havenow because they were unable to lure any high school senior linemen to Michigan in the recruiting battle. A bright spot on the offensive line will be the return of junior tight end Doug Marsh. "He's had a pretty good spring so far; the biggest problem is we don't have enough competition for him," said coach Hanlon. "He's the only one back with any experience so he automatically fits the mold at that position." Michigan also has sophomore Chuck Christian, and freshmen Rich Strenger and Vincent Shaw vying for the position. "We only have one experienced Cheer up, Tiger fans!! Get out your mittens and parkas- and don't forgt your scorecards, because all systems are go, weather permitting, for today's home-opener with the Texas Rangers.

Bubba Paris (6-6% 280) is the only one who had any game ex- perience last year. The tackle positions are up in the air," said Hanlon. ,Junior Dan Kwiatkowski joins Leoni, Paris and freshmen Chuck Roland, Tom Neal, and Ed Muransky in the battle.

We also have two young centers backing up in there, Jeff Felton and Tom Garrity," said Hanlon. The guard positions may be filled with a little more know-how. Juniors John Arbeznik (6-31/, 240) and John Powers (6-3, 265) are back next year as seniors. "Arbeznik started at the guard position last year until an injury and Powers filled in at both the guard and tackle positions," stated Hanlon. "We have a kid named Kurt Becker in there who is having a pretty good spring so that will give us some depth at the offensive guard position." Michigan will have a little more size up front to block for their runners next year, but Hanlon doesn't feel it will change any offensive strategy. "We hope we didn't sacrifice a lot of speed and quickness, even though we will have a little more size up front next year. Defenses are getting bigger so you bet- ter get bigger offensive people," ex- plained Hanlon. Coach Schembechler seems confident about his offensive line. "I think we'll be all right at guard and tackle, but we've got a lot of work to do from the center position right through to the tailback."

They were joined by retired National League umpire Shag Crawford, whose son Jerry, an NL umpire, was one of the pickets. Also marching with the umps were Ed Rush and Roger McCann, two of- ficials from the National Basketball Association. "We'd never work for what these guys make," said Rush. "No way." Ten-year veteran officials in NBA earn $45,000 compared with $31,000 for baseball umpires with the same amount of service. "I just want parity with officials from other sports," said AL umpire Bill Kunkel. "Last year I made $31,000 but my expenses were $5,000. That leaves $26,000, and the government took $4,600 of that. At the end of the year, I'm ashamed to show my wife what I made for being away from home for 200 days." Kunkel, an 11-year veteran, said the fans outside the stadium had been in full support of the umpires. "I expected them to be yelling, 'We m .;iu .;:;; % . } .' :.

"I'd rather not talk about Pryor," Colosi said, "but since you asked, that's the lowest anybody can ever be. I've worked with Pryor but I wouldn't like to work with him again. Somebody will have to, I guess." Among the umpires picketing the stadium besides Kunkel, Colosi and Crawford we~e Marty Springstead, Al Clark, and Dave Garcia of the AL and Frank Pulli, Terry Tata, Dick Stello, Eric Gregg, and Andy Olsen of the NL.
