WHITE AND PERRYMAN RAM MIAMI
' M'backs starin debut
By DOUGLAS B. LEVY
As Michigan lined up for its first of-
fensive play in yesterday's 22-14 win
over Miami, many fans may have been
wondering, "Who are these new run-
ning backs? What about Rogers and
Garrett? Where are they?"
Virtually everyone in Michigan
Stadium was aware that the Wolverines
were entering the contest with a new
field general and that that man was
junior Jim Harbaugh. And along the
same vein most fans were expecting to
get a good dose of veteran Michigan
running backs Rick Rogers and Eddie
Garrett.
INSTEAD OF familiar faces Rogers
and Garrett, who combined rushed the
ball 294 times in 1983, Wolverine fans
were ambushed by a bevy of new
names. Sophomore Gerald White,
junior Bob Perryman and freshman
Jamie Morris slashed, slammed and
banged their way to 192 yards on 52
carries.

baugh in the first-collegiate-start

Sophomore tailback Gerald White heads up field behind running mate Bob Perryman in yesterday's 22-14 Wolverine
win. In the game, White rushed 27 times for 89 yards.
Perryman rushed from scrimmage a
grand total of 36 times and neither back
was burdened with the pressure of per-
forming with a game on the line, let
alone a game against a team of Miami's
caliber.
Jamie Morris, meanwhile, spent his
autumn of '83 piling up yardage against
high school defenses in Massachusetts.
ALL WHITE succeeded in doing was
to carry the pigskin 27 times for 89 yar-
ds. This performance served as
justification for Schembechler, who has
been insisting for months that with
White at tailback the team was just as
strong if not stronger than it was with
Rogers in the line up.
As fine a performance as White tur-
ned in, Perryman's may have even
been more spectacular. Perryman ran
from scrimmage 17 times for 79 yards,
scoring on scampers of six, three and
one yards. The Buzzard's Bay, Mass.
native was close to unstoppable in short
yardage situations and showed im-
pressive speed on one 25-yard gain to
the outside.
"Our offense is designed for the
fullback to get short yardage," ex-
plained Perryman. And when asked if
he felt he had proven himself to the
coaching staff he responded, "The only
person I have to prove myself to is Bo. I
was just ready to get in."
PERRYMAN assumed the starting
role as a result of Eddie Garrett in-
juring a knee in practice. A healthy
Garrett is a strong candidate to earn
All-Big Ten honors, but Garrett himself
admitted last spring that Perryman
was very talented and ready to con-
tribute heavily to the Wolverine attack.-
If solid is the word for describing the
performances of White and Perryman
then surprising is the way to describe
the debut and subsequent statistics of
Jamie Morris. A freshman merely
seeing time on the field during an ac-
tual game is a rarity, but for a fresh-
man to enter the opening game of a
season and on the third series of downs
and against a defense like Miami's,
comes close to shocking.
"Jamie is a very mature running
back," said Michigan offensive coor-
dinator, Elliot Uzelac. "He's got the
great speed to break the big runs."
MORRIS, however, is so small, stan-
ding only 5-7, that he was projected as a
wide receiver. Like his brother Joe
who holds most of the career and
season rushing records at Syracuse and
is the starting halfback for the NFL's
Giants, Jamie is fiercely competitive.
To arrive on the Michigan football
scene and beat out such talent as
Thomas Wilcher and Ben Logue is
testament that Morris has the ability to
be a fine tailback. For the game, Morris
rushed eight times gaining 27 yards.
Schembechler was all smiles when
the media queried about Morris' effor-
ts, "I told you guys (the media) not to
get all excited weeks ago," laughed the
coach, "I just said he's a cute little
kid."
COACH UZELAC stressed the
significance of the three backs. White,
Perryman and Morris carried the ball
52 times and didn't, commit a single
turnover, not even a fumble. Miami
fumbled the ball to Michigan twice to
complement Bernie Kosar's six inter-
ceptions.
Where does this leave Rogers and
Garrett? Only time will tell, but for the
time being, the Michigan running at-
tack is looking sharp.

BIG TEN R OUNDUP:
Stunned Irish toppled by Purdue
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Quarter-
back Jim Everett passed for 255 yards
nd two touchdowns to flanker Jeff
rice yesterday as Purdue, taking ad-
vantage of repeated Notre Dame
errors, upset the No.7-ranked Irish 23-
21 in their college football season opener
at the. Hoosier Dome.
Notre Dame scored twice in the first
quarter for a 14-3 lead, but the Irish lost
the ball five times on turnovers and
were hurt late in the third quarter on an
ineligible receiver penalty that forced
them to punt to Purdue.
The Boilermakers, who had taken a
14 lead after Mike Rendina's third
field goal, then started the clinching
touchdown drive after the Irish punt. A
13-yard pass to Bruce King, a 17-yard
run by King and a 36-yard pass to Rick
Brunner carried the Boilermakers to
the 14-yard line, and Everett hit Prince
on the next play for his second touch-
down.
With four minutes to go, Notre
Dame pulled within two points on a 6-
rd touchdown run by Allen Pinkett,
second of the game. But the final
Irish chance to win ended when Don
Baldwin made the third interception off
Beuerlein with just over two minutes
remaining, and the Boilermakers ran
out the clock.
Ohio State 22,
Oregon State 14
COLUMBUS (AP) - Tailback Keith
ars, the Big Ten's leading rusher and
scorer last season, scored twice in the
second half yesterday, helping sixth-
ranked Ohio State rally from an 11-
point halftime deficit for a 22-14 victory
over Oregon State.
Byars, a 6-2, 235-pound junior, ham-
mered the Beavers' defense for scoring
runs of 13 and one yards in the college
football opener for both teams.
John Wooldridge, a second-string
tailback, scored Ohio State's other
touchdown, a 4-yard run with 1:22 left in
the third quarter that put the Buckeyes
ahead 15-14.
Oregon State stunned the Buckeyes,
24-point favorites, with two opening half
touchdowns, easily offsetting a 20-yard
field goal by the Buckeyes' Rich
Spangler in the first quarter for a 14-3
margin.
Washington 26,
Northwestern 0
SEATTLE (AP) - Washington inside
linebacker Tim Meamber picked off
three Sandy Schwab passes yesterday
as the 19th-ranked Washington Huskies
opened their football season with an
easy 26-0 victory over Northwestern.
The Huskies, who face 14th-rated
Michigan in-Ann Arbor next Saturday
in a bid to make it two wins in two
seasons over the Wolverines, made the
Wildcats cough up seven turnovers,
four of them Schwab pass intercep-
tions.
Washington scored two touchdowns
- on Millen's 1-yard quarterback sneak
in the opening quarter and Ron
"Cookie" Jackson's 15-yard run in the
third quarter..
Meamber, a 6-foot-3, 221-pound senior
from Yreka, Calif., set up a touchdown
and a pair of field goals with his inter-
ceptions.
Jeff Jaeger equalled a Huskie's
school record with four field goals;
from 28, 36, 26 and 19 yards out. Jaeger
missed a 31-yard field goal try in the
fourth quarter.
Iowa 59, Iowa State 21
IOWA CITY (AP) - Chuck Long
threw four touchdown passes and Ron-
nie Harmon dashed 86 yards for
another score as 10th ranked Iowa,
capitalizing on numerous Iowa State
turnovers, rolled to a 59-21 non-con-
ference victory yesterday in the season
opener for both teams.
Iowa's veteran defense intercepted
five passes and recovered three fum-
bles and the Hawkeyes turned six of the
turnovers into scores.
So important were the turnovers that
Iowa, which led 42-7 at halftime, was
able to build a 35-0 lead late in the first
half despite having only six first downs
and minus three yards rushing.
After Iowa struggled for much of the
first quarter against an Iowa State
defense that sometimes employed an
11-man front, defensive end Dave
Strobel got the Hawkeyes on the board
by intercepting an Alan Hood pass and
returning it 38 yards for a touchdown
with 4 minutes, 3 seconds left in the first
quarter. It was all Iowa after that.
Wisconsin 24, N. Illinois 17
MADISON (AP) - Mike Howard, in
the first start of his career, completed 13
of 25 passes for 162 yards, leading
Wisconsin to a 27-14 non-conference
football victory over Northern Illinois
yesterday.
After Wisconsin's Michael Jones took
the opening kickoff 67 yards, tailback
Larry Emery needed only two plays to
score on a 23-yard run up the middle.
Howard completed three straight
passes on an 11-play, 80-yard drive,
culmiunated by his 26-yard touchdown
pass to Al Toon that gave the Badgers a
14-0 lead early in the second quarter.
After a 28-yard Todd Gregoire field
goal made it 17-0, NIU finally got on the
board with an 8-yard pass from Darrly
Taylor to Carl Aikens.
Illinois 30, Missouri 24
Fullback Thomas Hooks snagged a
one yard scoring pass and raced 19 yar-
ds for a second touchdown yesterday as
Illinois stopped a late charging
Missouri 30-24 in non-conference
college football action.
The Illini rolled up a 30-10 lead before
the Tigers scored twice in a rain-soaked
fourth quarter and tried desperately to
tie the game as time ran out.
Missouri quarterback Warren Seitz
scored on a six-yard run, and backup
quarterback Marlon Adler fired a 40
yard TD pass to George Shorthose to
trim the fourth quarter Illinois margin
to 30-24.
In a pouring rain, Adler began a final
Missouri drive near mid-field and com-
pleted three passes before Illinois
lineman Guy Teafatiller preserved the
victory by sacking Adler as he attem-
pted a final touchdown pass with 10
seconds left.
MSU 24, Colorado 21
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - Sophomore
quarterback Dave Yarema threw two
touchdown passes and punter Ralf
Mojsiejenko repeatedly kept Colorado
bottled up with booming kicks, as
Michigan State withstood a furious
fourth-quarter Buffalo rally for a 24-21
victory in a college football season-
opener yesterday.
The Spartans never trailed but had to
hang on at the end. Three Steve Vogel
touchdown passes in the final quarter
cut the Michigan State lead from 24-0 to
24-21, and the buffs blew a chance to tie
when Larry Eckel missed a 32-yard
field goal attempt in the closing secon-
ds. It was one of two medium-range
field-goal tries missed by Eckel in the
final period.

TORONTO (AP) - Detroit's John
Grubb belted a pair of homers and
Darrell Evans hit another yesterday to
lead the Tigers to a 10-4 victory over the
Toronto Blue Jays, increasing their
lead to 10% games in the American
League East.
The Tigers broke a 2-2 tie in the
seventh with two runs and tacked on six
in the eighth to lower their magic num-
ber to 11. Any combination of Tiger
wins and Toronto defeats adding up to
11 will clinch the division for Detroit.
Grubb led off the seventh with his
seventh homer off Luis Leal, 13-6. With
two outs, Lou Whitaker hit a single,
went to second on a wild pitch and
scored to chase Leal, who has lost his
last three games.
The victory went to reliever Bill
Scherrer, 1-0. He worked 1 2/3 innings
in relief of Jack Morris, who left with
one out in the fourth with tightness in
his shoulder. Aurelio Lopez worked the
last three innings to earn his 13th save.
