PageIO-Saturday,-September 19, 1981-The Michigan -Doily Little.Anthony gets big results i' AV The Michiger iOody-Sturday, Septem '1 980) 1 Foot ball Statistics M' band fires up By BUDDY MOOREHOUSE From the moment he stepped onto the Michigan practice field, Anthony Car- ter seemed destined for greatness. "The first day of practice he was running a post pattern up the middle," recalls teammate Stan Edwards. "The ball was thrown behind him, but he was already in the air. He reached behind him and pulled the ball in with his left hand. Everybody stopped and looked at each other, and no one had any more questions after that." IN HIS FIRST game as a Wolverine, Carter had Michigan fans wondering who this skinny kid with the '1' on his chest was, when he returned a punt 78 yards for a touchdown against North- western. Now everybody knows who Anthony Carter is, as he has woven his name into the Michigan record book in only two seasons. He achieved national acclaim last fall, catching 14 touchdown passes (a Michigan single-season record) and setting two school career records, one for his 21 scoring catches and the other' for his 840 yards in kickoff return yar- dage. He gained first-team All- American honors from the Associated Press last season, the first Michigan sophomore since Bennie Oosterbaan in 1925 to be accorded such acclaim. He was also the first sophomore ever to be voted the team's MVP. Before the start of this season, Carter graced the cover of numerous publications, including The Sporting I like to be left alone," says Carter. "It's hard with people staring at me when I walk around campus. "It's hard to avoid that." TO LOOK AT Carter, you wouldn't think he is considered by many to be ,.'... .........4:.. :..":... .-.". ' I'm a very quiet person, and I like to be left alone. It's hard with people staring at me when I walk around campus. I try to avoid that..' -Anthony Carter News: But all the attention doesn't college football's biggest threat. Listed seem to fit the shy, unassuming wide at a mere 5-11 and 161 pounds (which is receiver. "I'm a very quiet person, and probably exaggerated by about 10 pounds), he looks pretty harmless. But as the defensive backs around the Big Ten have discovered, Carter is anything but harmless. "A guy like An- thony Carther can have a tremendous influence on a defense," says coach Bo Schembechler. "You just cannot ignore him. He's a very tough, feisty com- petitor. Most kids that size won't com- pete like he does, It's too bad you don't get to see him in practice, because he makes some dynamite catches." Carter etched his name permanently in Michigan football folklore against Indiana in 1979. With only six seconds left on the clock and the score tied at 21- 21, Carter hooked up with quarterback John Wangler for a 45-yard touchdown pass to win the game. "That's still my greatest thrill here," says the junior education major. "Even bigger than winning the Rose Bowl." For a kid from West Palm Beach, Fla. to come all the way up to the cold confines of Ann Arbor must have taken quite a selling job by Schembechler, or so it seems. But; explains the coach, "Everybody wanted him and it was down to Michigan and Texas. Histcoun- selor in high school happened to have a Michigan background. It's as simple as that." AND EVEN though he has been in Ann Arbor for more than two years, Carter says that he has yet to get used to the Michigan climate. "I didn't really think about the weather until the winter. It's not really too bad here in the fall," says Carter. But then he win- ces noticeably as he adds, "But the win- ters are something else. At the Purdue game two years ago in West Lafayette, Bo let us wear gloves because it was so cold. But when Alan Mitchell dropped a pass and Bo made us take the gloves off. My hands were really cold then." His coaches and teammates are all glad that Carter decided to brave the cold and stick around. "There would be some jealousy on the team, but no one on the team is as good as Anthony Car- ter is," says Edwards. "No one in the country is as good as Anthony Carter is. He's better now than some pro receivers." Defensive back Keith Bostic adds, "It's really an asset for me to be able to practice covering a receiver as good as Anthony." But even more than his athletic ability, Carter is respected by those around him for his other qualities. Ac- cording to Edwards, "The backup flanker to Anthony was Kenny Gear. When we went to Madison, Wisconsin last year, which is Kenny's home town, Anthony faked an injury so Kenny could play in front of his parents. Bo wasn't about to put him in because the game was tight for awhile. Everybody wouldn't have done something like that, but that's just the type of individual he is." But it will be his football talent that is on display today. Although he caught only one pass, for 11 yards, in last Saturday's 21-14 loss to Wisconsin, Car- ter says he is looking forward to today's clash with Notre Dame. "I've been up against them twice, and I haven't scored a touchdown yet," he says.-With a little luck, little Anthony might put an end to the luck of the Irish today.

Bringing the home town partisans to their feet before the game is the Michigan Marching Band, 225 strong, as it pours out of the tunnel in its famous power-stride style. The band then forms the block 'M', and while the excitement starts to build, director Eric Becher leads the band in the 'M' Fanfare. The 'M' then hllows out, and the band steps down the field with the crowd singing along to "Hail to the Vic- tors." It's a scene that has become familiar to Wolverine fans over the years. And although Becher says that the traditional pre-game will remain un- changed, he says that the band's half- time shows will try to provide something for everyone's musical tastes. "We'll try to mix up the kinds of music we play so that we'll touch on a lot ofdifferent styles," said Becher. " Different shows appeal to different people." At the age of 24, Becher is the youngest conductor of a major mar- ching band in the country. After serving as interim director last season, the Ann Arbor native was given the job of ficially last summer. Despite his youth, Bechler said, "The Michigan com- muInity seems to have accepted me, as long as I do, OK." Becher replaced Glenn Richter, who left Michigan after one year citing a lack of financial sup- port as a reason for his departure. Becher faced a big roadblock last season, when the band's reserves (the band members who don't march with the band on the field, but fill in when a Wooffolk Edwards ...... . Ricks... .....

"This past year was the first time that we had to restrict the number of people going, 'explained Becher:."But it wasn't necessarily a financial thing. I t would be hard to justify using anybody's money to send a group of reserves that just spend the whole week standing there." To resolve.any controversy this year, the director says that he'll tell the band this year that "no one should assume they're going anywhere." The band has already been guaranteed a trip to the Michigan State game, and possibly to Purdue, if it turns out to be a crucial game for the Wolverines. "Whoever wants us to go, we'll go," said Becher. The band has a new drum major this year for the first time in three years.
