Then there's John Anderson. He does not often beat a team single-handedly, but then, he doesn't try to. It's just not his style. A 1978 graduate of Michigan, An- derson now plays outside linebacker for the Green Bay Packers. He shares the team lead in tackles with fellow linebacker Randy Scott at 47 - a number that won't put him in the national TV and newspaper spotlight, ............*** COU e.00 OFF.[ NOW SHOWING DA AFTER 5 f HOURS (R) SH( Call for s rson part but that satisfies Anderson just the sibility for the tea same. squarely on the prol "Overall, I am pleased with the way back.

Update shortened 1982 season), but haven't done much since then," said Ander- son. "I still want to go on to a Super Bowl before I finish my career. Up here you're not remembered for in- dividual honors, but for what your team does." Indeed, Anderson should know just what Packer fans expect and remem- ber, having grown up in Waukesha, Wis., just west of Milwaukee. He played and lettered in football, basketball, and tennis in high school. My best sport was football," he said. "But my favorite was basket- ball. There isn't much market for a 6-3 power forward, though, so that decision was made for me." ANDERSON came to Michigan as a tight end, punter, and placekicker. He immediately became the Wolverine's regular punter, averaging 38.5 yards on 41 punts as a freshman. After being switched to outside linebacker the following spring, Anderson made 27 tackles, and recorded a 38.1 yard pun- ting average. In his junior year, he moved into a starting role at linebacker and finished his career with 120 tackles, 70 assists, and a 39.4 yard punting average. He earned All- Big Ten status his junior and senior years, and was an academic All- American as a junior and an All- American as a senior. The teams Anderson played with at Michigan went 38-7-2, tied for three Big Ten titles, visited the Rose Bowl twice and the Orange Bowl once, and never finished out of the top ten in the polls. "Michigan is a classy organization," he said. "You work hard, put in your time, but you are treated well. I was fortunate to have played there. I went through wondering sometimes if the effort was worth it, but I was rewar- ded with success." After graduating with a 3.1 grade point average from the school of Natural Resources, Anderson was drafted 22nd overall by the Packers in the 1978 NFL draft and since then has started 80 of the 87 games he's played. His career has been interrupted by in- juries, but he's been a consistent con- tributor. The Packers began to keep defensive statistics in 1981 and since then Anderson has compiled seasons of 150, 84 (during the strike season), 146, "% mommo- -L Sports Information Former Michigan standout John Anderson, now a starting linebacker for theGreen Bay Packers, cradles in an interception against Michigan State. and 94 tackles, respectively. having fun and how well your body is Anderson isn't sure how much holding up.
