So-so
By MARC FELDMAN
It's not easy to be a Navy football fan.
It's a sad commentary on the gridiron for-
tunes of America's future admirals and
deck swabbers that just 28 entries have
been made in the Navy win column since
the glory days of Roger Staubach in 1963.
The Middies have made progress in the
past few years, winning two games in
1970, three in 1971, and all of four last
year. However, this year's version of
Navy football should be the most explo-
sive- Annapolis has seen in recent years.
It might even produce a winning team.
The Academy lost its coach and most of
a defensive unit that wasn't too hot to be-
gin with from last season. Rick Foranzo,
Navy's head man since 1969, heeded the
call of the Detroit Lions to fill a vacancy
in Don McCafferty's staff. Only two start-
ers on the defensive unit are back.
Sailors
Navy's new mentor is George Welsh,
who moved from an assistant coaching
position at Penn State to Annapolis. Welsh
is naturally optimistic about his team's

chances this fall - as long as he talks
about his offensive unit.
The 1972 Middies set several school re-
cords including total yardage (3894) and
first downs (218) and eight men from that
cohesive unit are back for this season.
Cleveland Cooper broke Navy's all-time
by Heisman Trophy winner Joe Bellino in
1960.
seek s
COOPER didn't even break into the
starting lineup until the middle of the cam-
p:ign but he made up for lost time
with six consecutive 100 yards games to
end the season, including a 158 yard per-
formance against the Panthers of Pitt.
Cooper will not be a one man offense.
The Middies will use the basic I forma-
tion and throw often, especially if oppo-
nents key on the junior tailback and
render him ineffective. Welsh has twodex-
perienced quarterbacks in Al Glenny and
Fred Stuvek around and some fine targets
in Bert Calland and Larry Van Loan, pos-
sibly the best pair of receivers in the col-
lege ranks.
rushing record last year with 1046 yards
on 192 carries, eclipsing the standard set
Calland hauled in 61 receptions last
yea'r, ranking him seventh in the nation
and setting a Navy record. Van Loan had
iccess
a sensational season two years ago with 41
receptions but injuries forced him to miss
all but three games last fall.
WITH just the two defensive starters
and less than a fleet of capable replace-
ments for the newly commissioned second
lieutenants, defense will be the uncertainty
for the 1973 Middies.

DAILY - A redshirt, Mike Boryla,
will quarterback Stanford in the home
opener, September 22, just like another
redshirt, Don Bunce, led the Cardinals
in the 1972 Rose Bowls after sitting out
a year when Jim Plunkett was around.
This rule is new to the Big Ten this
year. How will it help the Conference
and Michigan in particular?
BO - I think it will help in some isolat-
ed situations. For example, you have to
understand that we have a 120 grant-in-
aid limit in Big Ten football. For every
guy that you redshirt and keep over a
year, that gives you one less grant-in-aid
when that year comes up. You can't
wholesale redshirt.
RIedshirting will be on the basis of when
a guy sees that he will have an oppor-
tunity to play in another year and wants
to do it and the coach believes he's good
enough. The redshirt rule will help in the
case of a Boryla and a Bunce and would
have helped us in the past with Jimmy
Betts. He was an outstanding quarterback
when Moorhead was around and because
the rule was not in effect at that time,
we had to go with a sophomore quarter-
back in 1971.
Another reason we won't redshirt indis-
criminately is that we want to have some
grant-in-aids left over for walk-ons like.
Henry Hill, Fritz Seyferth, Carl Russ, Don-
nie Warner, or Dave Elliott. We will pro-
bably set aside ten grant-in-aids for red-
srirting purposes and we'll probably have
a better chance to use it than some of
the other clubs.
DAILY -- The Big Ten is considered
the fourth best college conference in
the country right now, after a reign
as the best for many years. Do-you
feel the Southeast Conference, Pac-
Eight, and Big Eight are as good or
better than the Big Ten?
BO-- No, I don't think they're any
better. The problem has been that the
top teams in the Big Eight have played
ones-those

conservative than most peo-
pie in Ann Arbor but so

the bottom teams in the Big Ten and
beaten them, by no bigger score than we
have beaten the same teams. However,
we haven't had a chance to play them
because the schedules are made so far
in advance. If there is one mistake we
make in college football it is, that we,
make the schedules t'wenty years in ad-
vance.
DAILY - Last April you expressed
dismay at the antics of Representative
Perry Bullard and other Ann Arbor-
ites at the Hash Festival, stating that
recruiting would be damaged by the
resultant publicity. Has it really hurt
your recruiting, and if so, would you
prefer to live in Lincoln, Nebraska or
Norman, Oklahoma, towns which have
more conservative reputations?
BO - Actually, when that statement
was made, it wasn't meant to be printed.
But the guy printed it, which is typical
of the Ann Arbor News. I don't give a
damn if they have a five dollar fine or a
twenty five dollar fine but for a public
official to disobey a law in public serves
no purpose. A guy has to be really im-
mature. no matter what his beliefs are
to take such action.
As far as me being in Lincoln, Nebra-
ska, we've had good football teams at
Michigan. I don't need to go any place
else for football just because they're more
conservative communities. I didn't say
I didn't like to live in Ann Arbor, I just
said I didn't approve of his (Bullard's)
actions and I still don't. There are a
lot of people, even those in favor of liber-
alization of the marijuana laws who would
admit that was not right.
I objected to his doing it. That's what
I objected to. He had not right to do that.
DAILY - Have you generally found
your four years here pleasant, for your-
self and your family, aside from foot-
ball considerations?
BO - Oh yeah, I like it here. My kids
like it here and I like it here. Why, you
don't think I like it here because it's a
liberal community. You go anywhere in
the country and talk to people who have
gone to school here or have lived here
and they're pro-Ann Arbor people.
Now, there are problems here in Ann
Arbor in the school system, for example,
but basically Ann Arbor is a great place
to live. You can get any good things you
want here. It's a very academic, intel-
lectual, cultural, as well as athletic center,
It's not a one way deal. They're not all
conservatives or all liberals - a pretty
good cross-section and some pretty good
battles. I'm probably a little more con-
servative than most people in Ann Arbor,
but so what?
DAILY -- Sports Illustrated had an
expose about the supposedly voluntary
physical fitness courses for football play-
ers at Kansas State, for instance, and
the abuses connected with the program
there. Do any such courses exist here at
Michigan and how do you feel about the
abusive nature of such programs else-
where?

Navy should be able to score in 1973 but stopping runners will
again be a problem.
