"28-14, thank God" is the feeling permeating the athletic build-
ing this week. The reason for this relief is employment, Head Coach
Bump Elliott's in particular, and the remainder of the foolball
coaches' by connotation.
The uneasiness has stemmed from a strong movement this
year on campus and among alumni to "Bump Bump."
Historically, Michigan is known as ia football powerhouse. This
reputation is demonstrated by the number of teams which call the
Wolverine contest their "big game" of the season. Michigan State
and Michigan give equal importance to their annual clash.Minnesota
considers its year a success if it's able to win the Little Brown Jug,
atrophy given to the winner of the M' versus "M' battle. Ohio State
inarr n-sabout two things every year, winning the Big Ten Champion-
ship and beating the Maize and Blue. Finally, Illinois, even without
the clash between the Elliott brothers, points to the Wolverines as
their "must" game.
Under Fielding Yost, who coached from 1901 to 1926, most of
Michigan's rivalries were attempts at futility for the opposition. Yost
was noted forthis point-a-minute teams which held opponents to a
point-an-hour. His era as coach resulted in a 165-29-11 record. A
quicky two-year term by E.'E. Wieman resulted in a 9-6-1 total. Harry
Kipke grabbed the reins and guided the Wolverines to a .639 victory
spree in his nine years as coach, and Michigan won the conference
championship four of those tames.
The next decade was governed by Hy.. (Fritz) Crisler who
finished with a 71-16-3 tally, over-an 80 per cent ,sucess rate.
Benny Oosterbaan was the last coach before Elliott and his 11
years netted him 'a 65-33-4 rec-
ord. Only Elliott has won less
than 60 per cent of his coaching
attempts. His 46-41-2 record is
the lowest of any Michigan
coach. This has tended to alien-
ate many alumni.
Bump's supporters point to the
large number of recent Michigan
graduates whon have succeeded in
professional football. The students

not been entirely satisfactory. *.. :A;.:.: $ +.:...t
The movement to replace Elliottered B s ch ....
gained its initial momentum last 'ys
year when a successor for Athletic
Director Fritz Crisler was being th"ng hi cAna E t
M sought. The feeling then was to
kick Elliott upstairs. A number of other factos however, combined
to give track coach Don Canham thehposition and Elliott remained
football coach.
The topic simmered over the summer, and by the time fall rolled
around, the movement was pushing ahead fullsteam Proponents of
the movement were bold enough to declare that Elliott's days were
definitely numbered.
The opening contest with California nearly spelled Bump's doom.
Michigan had not lost an opening football game in years. After the
loss, even those rooting for Elliott had doubts about his future. The
following. two victories for the Wolverines,as impressive as they were,
were dismissed as being pushovers anyway. The stage was set for the
Spartanclash.
The victory over Michigan State was a solid triumph. Mich-
0 igan's fourth quarter comeback was also felt to be Elliott's fourth
quarter comeback. Canham noted after the game, "We needed
that one." The victory very definitely bettered Bump's chances of
remaining as coach, but whether it actually saved his job is still
up for debate.
Many critics have said that the only thing that can save Elliott
is ;a Rose Bowl. They add that there is more than 'Michigan State
In the way of a trip to Pasadena.
Another consideration, though, is whether Elliott really does want
the job next year. There is presently an opening in the athletic de-
partment for the 'assistant director for intercollegiate athletics, a
position created last year when the department was reorganized.
The probability of Elliott dropping the coaching reins for this posi-
tion is very good. It would satisfy his detractors in that they would
feel he had been "kicked upstairs," and it would relieve Bump of the
pressures he's under presently.
If Elliott does 'not accept, the position net year, it ' will
probably be filled by 'someone else. If this occurs, and Bump is
later dropped as head coach, there 'would be no place for him in
the athletic department.
In the final analysis, it is probable that no matter what happens
this year, Bump Elliott. will not be head coach next year. If the the

Steel Plant Loopers, who comprise a majority of the average loop class of 150 to 200 graduates,
proceed to various plants where they go through a brief orientation program before beginning
their on-the-job training assignments. Within a short time after joining the course, most loopers
are ready for assignments aimed toward higher levels of management.
How about other loopers? Our Sales Department loopers (30 or so) remain at the home office for
about a year of training. Most are then assigned to district offices where they take over established
accounts.
Fabricated Steel Construction loopers are trained in a drafting room, on a field erection project,
in a fabricating shop, and in an engineering office. A looper's first work assignment is based on
interests and aptitudes disclosed during this program.
Loopers in Accounting, Shipbuilding, Mining, Research, Traffic, Purchasing, Finan'ce and Law,
General Services, and Industrial and Public Relations go' through training programs tailored to
their types of work.
