Wolverine gridders
start spring
drills
By JOEL GREER
In contrast to the gentleness of
this March's incoming weather,
the Michigan footbal lteam began
its spring drills yesterday with the
visciousness of mid-season form.
Allowed only 20 scheduled work-
outs, C o a c h Bo Schembechler
wasted little time in starting a
hard-hitting program that will cli-
max with the annual intra-squad
battle April 22 in the Michigan
Stadium.
Despite having to fill the gaps
left by 12 graduating starters, the
biggest question mark of this
year's Wolverine squad, again lies
at quarterback. If there was a
weakness in the squad that finish-
ed with an 11-1 record and a per-
fect Big Ten championship season,
it must have been the absence of
a good passing quarterback.
And there was no one quicker to,
realize the problem than Schem-,
bechler himself. "The passing
game wil lhe much better," affirm-
ed the coach who has a 28-5 over-
all record at Michigan. "And I
can guarantee you that," he added.
Incumbent Tom Slade is by no
means sure of the top quarterback
slot as he will again be challenged

with another sophomore, Jeff

So Schembechler will again be
faced with finding a number one
quarterback from a huge list of
candidates. But this season, the
best passer may indeed get the
nod.

strong tackle. "This is our big
experiment of the spring," explain-
ed Schembechler. "If it works, it
will be a big plus for us."
If Seymour does stay at tackle,
junior Curtis Tucker will probably
shift from tackle to the left guard
spot vacated by McKenzie and jun-
ior Paul Seal will handle the ma-
jority of tight end duties.
Senior Jim Coode will be pres-
sured for the quick tackle spot by
senior Tom Poplawski while senior
Bill Hart should be the replace-
ment for departed Guy Murdock.

retirement from baseball rather than accept a $50,000 contract,
talked with his former boss over the weekend.
"I can tell you right now he isn't signed, Oakland owner Charley
Finley added. "That I can tell you."
There were reports here and in Mesa, Ariz,, where the team is inI
training, that Blue had either signed or was ready to sign.
Blue has asked for $92,500 and offered to play for $50,000 if he
did not have to sign a contract that would bind him to the same team
next year. Finley has turned down both suggestions as well as others
reportedly made by the pitcher.
