Evashevyki undoubtedly IL the
best blocker in Michigan history.
A converted center. he has an all

which few men have. and when he
applies his 200 pounds TO the busi-
ness at hand. something just has
to give way.
Tom Harmon Ia a great running
possibly the greatest ever 10
draw on a eleat-but it's a moot
point whether or not he'd be as
effective with a lesser performer
than EvashevsIxi in front OF him.

Sam Bartholomew left off a year

tainly hasn't been any letdown In
the caliber OF interference the Vol

Little Wake Forest, the North

that sector.
There aren't as many good
blockers this year as there were

one thing becomes Immediately APP

blocker you find a good team.
