A BIGGER and stronger Phil Hubbard will make his return to the pivot position after missing all of last season with a knee injury. The knee has given Hubbard no problems in practice.

Joining him on the front line will be swift Mike McGee, who carried the U-M scoring load as a freshman last season, and freshman Thad Garner, an extraordinary jumper who has taken a starting spot away from veteran Alan Hardy. The Wolverines will be facing a CMU squad which has twice been tested under, fire, most recently in a 71-54 loss to No. 7 Michigan State at East Lansing Monday night.

(AP) Quarterbacks Rick Leach of Michigan and Chuck Fusina of Penn State were elected to the American Football Coaches Association All-America team in the first tie vote in 10 years. "The voting was simply too close to call," said AFCA president Carmen Cozza of Yale. "Both Leach and Fusina are great players and great leaders. They both clearly are All-Americans." The only previous tie vote involved quarterbacks Bobby Douglass of Kansas and Terry Hanratty of Notre Dame in 1968.

The dual selection all but overshadowed the selection of the nation's three premier running backs; Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims of Oklahoma, Charles White of Southern California and Charles Alexander of LSU, the only offensive player to repeat as an Ail-American.
