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. All three running backs joined Har- baugh in the first-collegiate-start category. Last season White and Daily Photo by CAROL L. FRANCAVILLA 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.

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.

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.
