SUNDAY, -SEPTEMBER 25, 1955 THiE MIV 3niAN DAILY - .Sophs May Boost "1M" in 1955 What You Need Is NOTES IN THE MARGIN VanPeit, Owen, PaceShowPromise . . by alan eisenberg Daily Associate Sports Editor< YOU DON'T NEED a calendar to know that it is Autumn - all you have to do is look out of the window of your room which is probably too small and rather dirty. There's something in the air - an aura of excitement - the feeling of Fall. The metamorphisis has begun: the leaves have turned brown, the sun goes to sleep earlier, and the swirling wind makes the trees sway and rustle intelligbly. And with the change in the season Ann Arbor has taken on the old familiar look. At first there was a trickle of students - those sick of home or needing an apartment - who returned. But the dams broke last Sunday as the young poured in from all over the country. The trains and planes and buses and cars belched out their heavy load. The creaking trains crept slowly and reluctantly into the antiquated station, the tired buses arrived and stopped in the ugly alleyway, the planes landed with ostentation and rested in proud haughtiness. This great influx of humanity - the largest enrollment at the University since the after-the-war-days - has set this small beautiful college town into a dither of activity. The restaurants are filled to capacity, the roads are packed with cars travelling bumper-to-bumper, cabs roam the streets and gather at stations, and the streets are thronged with youth. You walk down the street and youth envelops you. Freshmen try to swagger and hope they are not taken for Freshmen - but they are nervous and afraid. There is reunion for upperclassmen who swagger and hope they are taken for upperclassmen; joyous greetings in the League, at Hill Auditorium, or in front of the Union. There's Jordan and Hanley from Detroit, Shirlee from Fort Wayne, Phil and Sandy from the suburbs of Chicago, Larry and Chuck from New York, ,Maury from Mobile and all the others who have shared the last three years with you. This is Ann Arbor, this is a college town, this is September. The leaves have turned brown and Ann Arbor is back to normal. The young have come home ... for youth is synonomous with Ann Arbor. A Day at Ferry Field ... ? WE WALKED down to the athletic plant where all that youth represents was gloriously revealed. It was a beautiful sunny after- noon. The sky was a mixture of blue and gray, the clouds looked like soft white pillows. Ferry Field looked inviting and it is where the young cavort and prance, laugh and show off their lithe bodies. Strength is symbolized in every movement, in every action. Bennie Oosterbaan's gaze flicked from group to group: the linemen pulsing their muscles to charge at the never-ending line of dummies, the ends racing downfield to gather into their arms a sailing football, backfield men running through intricate plays. But everywhere noise and life and strength and youth. More young bodies were under the direction of William Revelli. The sun was hot and many of the bandsmen wore only shorts. Time after time they repeated the same steps, time after time they made mistakes. But that which is youth did not falter. Their bodies glistened with sweat but they did not wilt under the unending repetition. When the drill was over, there was still spirit and vitality - for they are youth. . ** * Life Into a Sleeping City .«. EVERYWHERE THE YOUNG roamed - and put life into a sleeping city. At the Student Publications Building the typewriters began to rattle and desk drawers creaked open unwillingly. Once again the coke bottles became part of the scenery, once again the floors became littered with scrap paper. And here, too, youth prepared to go back to work. The University buildings take on the old familiar look: of being overcrowded. Impatient youth waits on various long lines that hardly seem to move. The diagonal looks less deserted and lolling students rest on the lush green grass. Night falls but youth does not fade into the darkness. They can still be heard and seen and be felt. Lights reveal them pouring over books, heated arguments about age-old problems are overheard, and there is some intangible force which tells you youth is present. This is Ann Arbor. This is a college town. This is September. The leaves have turned brown and Ann Arbor is back to normal. The young have returned to their home. The young make Ann Arbor what it is, and the young are back. Ann Arbor is back to- normal. New football seasons bring new faces and new names-and the Daily herewith presents a quick run-down on the unfamiliar rook- ies who sooner than most people think-will be making Michigan football history. Let's start at end - with big Gordie Morrow. Brother of John Morrow, he -is an Arborite - and plenty big at 6'3" and 22 pounds- and soon may fit into a vital role. The other new end is Dick Kette- man, 190 pound 6 footer from Toledo - who fared well in spring drills. Owen Looks Promising Over at the crucial tackle spot, four newcomers will be pressing last years returnees for big time berths. Dave Owen, Big Ten shot- put king, rates as best - he's plenty fast for his 216 pounds. Al Sigman, a veteran from the El Toro marines and Michigan State Normal College will also be right up there in the running. In a late development earlier this week, Sigman was nominated by Coach Bennie Oosterbaan as probable starter at right tackle in yesterday's Missouri game. Along with Sigman, Jim Or- wig, another virtually new force, was named to thetentative start- ing lineup at left tackle. Orwig is a jupior from Toledo, who was a reservist last year. Oosterbaan has commented that "Sigman looks like a good possi- bility. for both he and Orwig are real fighters, and that counts a real lot". The other two in tackle conten- tion are Charlie Jung - a big 6'3" high school star from. New Trier of Winnetka, Ill., and rug- ged 198 pound Dick Heynen, a spring drills star from Grand Rapids. Over in the guard department four newcomers bolster a crew of six veterans- giving the. Wolver- ines tremendous depth. Mary Ny- ren, a former quarterback from DesPlaines, Ill., looks very good, as does hard-hitting Alex Boch- nowski of Gary, Ind., and Jim Paplomatos - a very fast guard out of Rochester, Pa. Last but not least is Tom Berger of Redford High in Detroit. At center, Grand Haven's Bill MacPhee rates as the top sopho- more - and close behind is rugged Don Rembiesa - from Dearborn. They give needed depth to a crack trio of veterans in Jim Bates, Jerry Goebel, and John Peckham. Backfield Prospects Moving into the backfield, we find the most improved player on the entire Michigan team rated as a top soph quarterback pros- pect. Jim Van Pelt, a rugged, hard blocking pass chucker from Evans- ton, Ill., has looked excellent - and is expected to see lots of action during the new few seasons. At thehhalfbacks, only two new names will be in evidence - to join a crew of seven teterans. IOne of these names is one of the most talked about freshmen in recent yeai's - Jim Pace. Pace is undoubtedly one of the fastest tailbacks ever to grace Ferry Field, but Coach Ben Ooster- baan maintains that he has much to learn on offense, and especially on defense. However, he should be of some help before the season is out.
