SUNDAY, APRIL 2, 1950 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TEJE rI n" 0... by merle levin, sports co-editor 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.
