They Came, Saw ...
Saturday's gridiron opener with Michigan State proved a real
'first' for a handful of University students.
They had arrived in Ann Arbor from all parts of the globe
within the past week. Most of them had never seen a football
game before.
LIKE OTHER UNIVERSITY students, they waited in line
for their tickets, waded through the crowds to the stadium and
tried to keep their eyes glued to the ball throughout the game.
Unlike those seated about them, however, they found yard-
ages and single wing back formations held as many mysteries
as the English language.
Two of the spectators-Sibyl Fischer-Baling of Berlin and
Jutta Gruetzner of Munich-wasted several hours of sympathy on
the "M" eleven until they discovered in the course of a dinner
conversation that our side had come 'out on top.
"EVERYONE TOLD US to watch the people around us if we
weren't sure which side was winning," Miss Gruetzner explained.
"The other side seemed to cheer so much more loudly that we
were sure Michigan had lost."
To most of the newcomers, football resembled most closely
the more international sport of soccer. In fact, in those coun-
tries which have felt the European influence more strongly
than the American, soccer itself is known as football.
Those who had been used to soccer experienced some difficulty
locating the ball during the opening minutes of the game. They
expected to find it on the ground and were amazed when they
discovered players running with the ball in their arms-something
strictly foi-bidderi in soccer.

Some of the typical reactions and experiences of foreign stu-
dents to their first football game are shown in the accompanying
pictures.
At the top left, Enrique Triana, '52A, picks up his tickets for
the games at Barbour Gym. A native of Bogota, Colombia, Triana
found football quite similar to the soccer which is popular in South
America.
Top center, Sibyl Fischer-Baling and Jutta Gruetzner
enjoy another "first" at Saturday's game. The two special
students who arrived last week from Germany are shown
sipping their first bottle of pop before the game got under-
way. The women compared notes for a few minutes and then
decided that German "brause" resembles pop closely.
In the photo at top right, Miss Gruetzner is shown getting
some pointers from Selma Agopovitch, grad., as students gather
to "rehash" the game at International Center. Miss Agopovitch was
an Italian resident of Istanbul, Turkey, before she entered the
University last year.
Bottom left, Alvise Barrison, Grad., of Trieste, Italy, echoes
the disappointment of other "M" rooters as State recovered
a fumble to kick a field goal in the opening quarter.
Bottom right. Things are looking brighter and Barrison smiles
with relief as Wisniewski carries the ball over the line for the
winning play. A former athlete himself, Barrison was picked to
play in the Olympic soccer matches at Rome in 1939 before a war
interfered.
Despite their difficulty in understanding football, the new
students as a whole evidenced a keen interest in the game. All of
them said they intend to follow the team through the remainder
of the season.

"You've just graduated. You're through

learning texts. Now you're pounding the
sidewalks-job hunting. Your prospective
employer pops the big question: 'What
experience have you had?'
"I've seen a lot of Michigan grads fum-

experience is just as important as that
sheepskin.
"So why wait? Get that much-needed
