By MICHAEL WILSON!
During the course of any Michigan foot-!
ball game, one cannot help noticing certainf
pavents taking place. Any Michigan student
xill observe that besides the chugging con-
tests and passing up girls in the stands,
substitutions constantly take place for the
Maize and Blue on the field. Somebody
enters the game between every play.
One of these players who constanty runs
..in and out is junior Kirk Lewis. Lewis, a
6'3", 240-pound guard has often alternated
with Jim Armour, bringing plays in from
:he bench for quarterback Dennis Franklin.
Lewis is not only one of Bo's "shuttle
guards" but big number 74 is also one of the
students of the Inteflex program, initiated
at the University in the fall of 1972.
A pre-med student playing football is
really not a rare occurrance. But for one
to be involved in this type of program is
a bit unusual.
Inteflex is a ten-month a year, stx year
med-program designed to equip a person
with the requirements of the medical pro-
fession in about two-thirds the time it
usually takes. The program is intellectually
demanding, leaving a student little time
for any type of educational variation.
For Kirk Lewis, the program was a
godsend. He decided on pursuing a career in
the medical profession upon graduation
from high school in Garden City. Inteflex

se eks4
happened to come along for the fall termI
of Kirk's freshman year.
"I think it's an excellent program," Lewis
said. "It fits me perfectly."
The competition in the pre-med program
and the battle to get accepted into the
medical school is not encountered in the
Inteflex program. Once a student is in the
program, chances are he will stay.
The demands of Inteflex and the de-
mands of football put an extremely heavy
burden on the shoulders of the burly-
looking guard. Kirk is not hesitant to
admit that he has been very fortunate so
far in keeping up with his school and
playing football. "I don't have time for
much else during the season," he admits.
Sitting in his comfortable campus apart-
ment, Lewis remembers the days when he
was deciding which college to attend. A{
high school All-American, Lewis relied
heavily on help from his father and other
coaches when colleges began knocking on!
the door.
Before he began to talk with various
schools, Kirk decided on his career in the
medical profession, then went from there.
"I wanted to go to a good football school
and get a good education at the same time,"
Lewis says. "Those schools that didn't have
a good med school, I didn't even talk to." i
In all, Lewis figures he talked with fifty
schools before deciding to enroll at Michi-

career,;
gan.
The fact that Lewis is playing in his junior
year of eligibility and is enrolled in a six-
year program presents an interesting situa-
tion. After next year, Kirk will be subject
to the annual pro football draft and chances
are some team will claim rights.
"I really haven't given pro football
much thought," Lewis confides, "although
I hesitate to consider pro ball."
Lewis said that football at the profes-
sional level isn't a very secure profession
with the threat of injury, hassles over
money and the threat of being cut.
The possibility of completing medical
school in six years impresses Lewis more
than the chance to play in the pros. I
"Right now, I'm playing football for the!
University of Michigan and the University
of Michigan only," Lewis emphasizes.
The candid Lewis spoke of football in
1974 at the University of Michigan. The
Wolverines, according to Lewis, have a
lot to prove this year, more so than other
teams.
This is in reference to the Big Ten ath-
letic directors' decision to send Ohio State
to the Rose Bowl instead of Michigan after
last year's 10-10 tie.
"We don't talk about it (the decision) but
it's still in the back of our minds," Lewis
said. "You can't forget about something
like that.

Garvey grooves
LOS ANGELES - S t e v e
Garvey backed Don Sutton's
masterful pitching with a pair
of two-run homers for the Los'
Angeles Dodgers yesterday,
crushing Pittsburgh 12-1, cap-
turing the National League pen-
nant and setting up the first all-
California World Series.

Garvey's homers came on
consecutive plate appearances
in the third and fifth innings,
and both times the former
Michigan State star had Jim-
my Wynn on first base. Gar-
vey also singled twice, scor-
'ing both times.
Sutton worked eight innings,
giving up three hits, with Mike
Marshall taking over in the
ninth after Los Angeles built its
12-1 score, the biggest margin

ever in major league playoff
history.
A crowd of 54,424, some of
whom burst onto the field after
the game, watched the Dodgers:
grab a 1-0 lead in the first in-
ning off the Pirates' southpaw,
Jerry Reuss, who never found
his control.
The Dodgers pounded 12 hits
off five Pirate pitchers in nail-
ing down the NL crown.

to the starting line-up.
Jackson's 5.8 yard rushing

sophomore who has fumbled too
often.7
The offensive line that will

The other outside man,

more on moves than speed.
He's made some long catches
this year, though, averaging

piled some good-looking statis-
tics. Most of those came against

teams with a combined 1-7 rec-
ord. No stats, though, can s~iow
the number of times they've al-
most had a punt blocked, the
number of plays that *iave
broken down, and 'he number
of yards that the two veak
Spartan opponents yielded be-
cause of their own ineptness.
The Michigan State offense
should be in a lot of trouble on
Saturday.

I support the fine efforts of the North Central Property
Owners to protect and preserve their neighborhood. Govern-
ment must protect the people from unemployment, infla-
tion and the high cost of living (including the high cost
of government). It must treat all people fairly and recog-
nize the equal rights of women. It must provide tax relief
and essential medical services for the elderly, the disad-
vantaged and the handicapped. It must make up to veter-
ans the education, opportunity and job security they may
have lost by serving their country.
I support industrial growth because it means more iobs,
but not at the expense of the environment or when it
threatens established neighborhoods. I support public trans-
