But Coyle has gained enough respect from his fellow players to be voted the offen- sive captain of this year's squad. A starting offensive guard for two seasons, the 6'0, 233 pound- er enters 1972 as a prime choice for conference and national hon- ors. He stepped into a starting role during his sophomore year when Werner Hall was felled with a neck injury, and was overshadowed by Reggie Mc- Kenzie last season. Interestingly enough, Coyle, an Irish citizen, and McKenzie, a black, got along very well. Coyle developed an awareness of the black problem during their "end- less" discussions when they roomed together on road trips. "The situation of the black and the Irish are the same," says Coyle, the Irish have poor housing and schools in Ireland like the blacks do here. Talk- ing with Reggie helped us both soccer players to ever play in Ireland, before moving to Chi- cago ten years ago. "My father always has taught me to relax and forget about the bad play. Everybody has a bad game. But the thing to do is to start all over on Monday think- ing of a new week and a new game. Tom Coyle - the posi- tive thinker. Coyle is also quick to dispel the notion that football is purely a physical game. "Football is 90 per cent men- FAST REASONABLE SERVICE F.C.C. LICENSED TECHNICIAN Most service done in 3 days or le-s.

T o m Covle the concerned man. Being one in a family of thir- teen, Coyle has learned what pa- tience is. From his father he de- veloped a sense of being humble in victory. Coyle's father was considered one of the greatest tal. Sure, you have to have the skills but the mind must drive the body. Every day you have to convince yourself to go out there and hit." Coyle is undecided as to whe- ther or not he would like to take a crack at pro ball. "If I get drafted pretty high, like in the first three rounds I'll probably give it a shot. Not many guys make it as low draft choices. If I got picked low in the draft I wouldn't want to spend a whole summer working out daily only to get to camp and be used as a tackling dummy for two weeks and then be cut. The burly native of Dublin concedes that he might give Can- ada a try should an offer come along. "A lot is going to depend on the young kids maturing. We don't have the big names like last year, but we still have qualityballplayers. The de- fense has some tough injuries but if they can hang in there, I think we're gonna surprise a few people." Coyle has taken a lot of good- natured kidding about being a citizen of Ireland, especially from Bo Schembechler. After announcing the results of the balloting for captain last week Bo jokingly asked for a recount because a foreigner had won. At the first press conference attended by Coyle and co-cap- tain Randy Logan, Schembech- ler introduced him as "the first alien to be a captain at the Uni- versity of Michigan". Tom Coyle - football player, positive thinker, and concerned man. Combining these attributes and more, Coyle has gained the respect of those in contact with him. By the end of the season he will have garnered the respect from his opponents, and hope- fully the fans. Maybe Don Weir should send a ticket to our man Rodney.

Bert his first real taste of competitive football came at De- troit Northern in the Public School League. Even though the PSL has received inadequate funding, Logan considered his coaching excellent despite ill-kept fields and poor equipment.

"Darden played the position the year before but was moved to safety," Logan explain- ed. It was then that Logan realized how important seniors were to the team and his confidence began to sprout. Logan was happy with his junior year, especially because he was injury-free. This fall Logan has been shifted to the wolfman position, due to the loss of Geoff Steger for the season. "I look up to it as a great chal- lenge, there's a lot to learn." On the short side Logan was glad the sideline was there to help him out. "But now," 'Randy says, "I have to watch both sides." SCHEMBECHLER is very pleas- ed with Logan's performance at the position thus far this year. He's done a real good job there, but naturally it would have been easier if we moved him in the spring. Even without so-called super- stars, Logan cites this fall's senior class as an equal of the previous one. "We've decided to work ex- tra hard to take their place," Logan adds that as long as you have a certain "inner pride" no amount of verbalizing or publiciz- ing would make any difference.
