MysteryQB Who owns that arm Mike Walker, Michigan's passing fancy, signs autographs after throwing a 69-yard touchdown strike in the Wolverines annual Blue-White game last spring. By CHUCK JAFFE The Michigan quarterback's name was Mike Walker - as in walk-on, throw a long touchdown pass and walk- of f. Walker was the mystery quarterback at the Wolverines' annual Blue-White exhibition game last spring, throwing a 69-yard touchdown passto Steve John- son to key the Blue's 16-10 victory. Im- mediately following the game Michigan coach Bo Schembechler knew nothing about Walker's background, and today quarterback coach Jerry Hanlon has no idea what Walker is doing. WHAT WALKER is not doing is playing football, preferring instead to concentrate on getting into Michigan's School of Architecture which is what lured him away from the starting quar- terback position at DePauw Univer- sity. "Mike was a heck of good kid who did a lot of good work for us last year during spring practice," Hanlon said. "Then he happened to be in there with two seconds left in the first half when I called for a 'Hail Mary' pass. I have no idea where he ishnow, though.nI haven't seen him since the spring game.'' No one from Michigan had seen or heard of Walker prior to the game last spring. The 6-0, 180-pound senior was a back-up quarterback at DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind. where he had completed just five of 12 passes for just 29 yards. AFTER DEPAUW finished an 8-2 season in Division III, Walker opted to transfer to Michigan for academic reasons - leaving behind a chance to be starting quarterback as a senior. "All I was doing at DePauw was playing football and sacrificing study time," Walker said. "I wanted to go to architecture school and they didn't have one at DePauw." With a letter of recommendation from DePauw coach Nick Mourizis and help from Wolverine graduate assistant Joe English, Walker was invited to spring practice as a walk-on quarter- back. Practice was not all glory for ASSI STANT EDnITOR Downtown Detroit reference book publisher is seeking editorial candidates to do research and writing for our books.

Box 2629 Dept.1 Detroit, M 48231 Equal Opportunity Employer M/F Walker, however, as the first snap he took as a Wolverine broke the little finger on his throwing hand. BUT AFTER that injury healed, Walker found that he would receive playing time in the Blue-White game. Injuries to Steve Smith, Dave Hall and Dan Decker left Michigan short on quarterbacks, so Walker entered the game late in the first half for the Blue squad. "I had played in only one scrimmage until then, and all the passes I threw had been short," said Walker,twho described himself as a classic drop- back passer. "We were just running out the clock, but we called time-out with one second left in the first half. I went over to the sideline and coach Hanlon said 'Run Black-88, and throw the thing as far as you can.' " Black-88 is one of Michigan's long pat- terns, designed in this case, to go to the wide side of the field and receiver Mike Sessa. Walker, however, dropped back and saw that defensive back Greg Ran- dall had slipped covering Steve Johnson on the short sideline. "I CHECKED the back side, like I was supposed to, and there was Steve Johnsonjust flying down the sideline," Walker said. "I threw it as far as I could - he had to stretch a little to cat- ch it - and he caught it in stride and ran it in.", The 69-yard connection was Walker's only pass attempt of the day and made him an-instant media hit. Everyone wanted to know about the mystery quarterback with the rifle arm, and publicity of the pass spread all the way back to Mourizis at DePauw. "Everyone sent me clippings about the game and ribbed me about losing Mike as a quarterback," Mourisiz said.4 "They said that he got good after he left DePauw. But the funniest point to me was when someone asked Bo 'who is this new quarterback?' and Bo said, 'Er, Um, well . . . he's a very nice boy.' A FEW DAYS later Schembechler sat down, got to know Walker, and invited him to walk-on in the fall. In July, however, Walker decided not to accept the try out, opting to concentrate on his studies instead. "I felt that if I made the switch up here for academics, then I should really work on getting into architecture school," Walker said. "I would have had to sit out a year because of the transfer, so I couldn't have played a really active role with the team. I would have practiced, but not dressed for games."~ Now that Michigan is playing Ohio State and is headed for a bowl game, however, Walker admits that he misses playing. "I don't regret not playing this year, but I miss it sometimes; I miss it more knowing that it would have been my year at DePauw," he said. "Now I do my schoolwork and play for the (Phi Delta Theta) fraternity." "I'll always remember throwing that pass, though," Walker added. "I'll tell my grandkids about it. Getting to play for Michigan in Michigan Stadium was a thrill, and throwing that touchdown pass was something special."
