FOTBLLwhich never manages to remain a dead issue around
ths at for very long, moves back into the limelight tomorrow
and who do you like in the Rose Ball next fall?
It could be Michigan but the Wolverines' chances depend on
(1) the performances of several sophomores up from the most
promising freshman squad Michigan has produced in a decade
(2)a successful solution of the quarterback problem and
(3) Army.
Among the sophs whose names loom large in the Wolverine
grid picture are Roger Zatkoff, a hard-hitting fullback who is being
touted as another Kempthorn (could such things be?) backing up
the line, Dave Hill, a very fast and very talented halfback from
Ypsilanti who may get a trial at end, Emil Morlock 190-lb. center
from Grand Rapids, Dick Strozewski, a big hard-charging tackle
from South Bend, Indiana of all places, and Lowell Perry, a talented
end who played alongside Hill at Ypsilanti.
A HALF-DOZEN OTHER newcomers including Bill Billings, a
50-yd. punter in high school, Frank Howell, a speedy halfback who
was used against the varsity in scrimmage last fall, Ted Toper, a
gigantic fullback from the steel mill district of E. Chicago, Id.,
quarterback M~ark Scarr, and twp men who saw no. varsity action
last year, halfback Jim Eldrigde and center Ed Kuzanek are being
counted on heavily.
If just four or five of these men live up to the promise they
displayed last year, then you had better make your reservations
for Pasadena early-IF, Oosterbaan can successfully hurdle his
two biggest problems.
As was the case last year, Oosterbaan will be playing Quarterback,
Quarterback, Which, One's My Quarterback during the spring drills.
Run through the rosters of the great teams of the past few years
and you find Tucker and Galiffa quarterbacking for Army, Lujack,
Tripucka and Williams calling signals for Notre Dame and Yerges
and Elliott running Michigan's undefeated 1947 and 1948 squads. All
of which points to the fact that you can't build a great team without
a great quarterback.
* * * *
THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE for the quarterback slot would seem
to be Bill Putich, the little sophomore from Cleveland who won a
measure of undying fame on his first play as a collegian against
Michigan State last fall.
But Putich saw less than 20 minutes of actual competition
during the '49 season and the extent of his ability is still untested.
He's sure to get plenty of attention from the coaching staff as
will Scarr who drew rave notices on the basis of his work with
the freshman squad.
Scarr like Putich, though, is green and thus the quarterbacking
situation still looks dark at the moment. Jerry Burns, who saw
some action against Stanford last fall and who starred for the 150-lb.
gridders in 1948 is another possibility, but Burns is pretty small to
absorb the punishment dished out by some of these bruising Big
Ten lines.
* * * *
IT'S A GOOD BET THAT Oosterbaan will install some of his
surplus halfbacks for a trial at the signal-calling post this spring
but at the moment their identities are pure speculation.
Oosterbaan's other problem is psychological and don't any-
one tell you that psychology isn't an important factor in winning
football games.
Michigan's third game of the season is with Army, the team
that halted the Wolverine's 25-game winning streak last fall, the
only major football team that Michigan has never beaten.
THE THOUGHT UPPERMOST right now in every Wolverine grid-
der's mind is the thought of beating Army next fall in Yankee
Stadium. Whether Michigan beats the Cadets next October or not, the
Army tilt is going to represent a climax to almost a year of prepara-
* tion by the Wolverines and there is bound to be a let-down the fol-
lowing week. That weekend Michigan plays Wisconsin which figures,
to be one of the top teams in the Western Conference!
So, if Michigan can get by Wisconsin, if Oosterbaan can develop
an A-1 quarterback, and if the Maize and Blue sophs come through
4 as expected, it looks like a great year for Michigan. Wanna trade
jobs, Bennie?

Katzenmeyer first became in-
terested in golf, 26 years ago, when
his father, a links enthusiast,
first taught him the game. He
played high school golf at Ann

starred for Alma College, cap-

MIAA championship.

KATZENMEYER regards him-
self as extremely fortunate in
holding down a coaching job at
Michigan, not only because of the
size of the school but because of
the superior intelligence of the
students, who are eager and cap-
able to be taught the lowdown on

intricate sports.
