DIAG, HILL AUD, ANGELL-MASON HALLS Featuring OWEN LATTIMORE By HOWARD KOHN For every rule there is an exception. And in the face of the contem- porary philosopher's view that the little boy who wants to be a cowboy will never get farther west than the Mississippi, George Mans has tossed one empirical case to the contrary. Mans had always wanted to be a football player and a football coach. As a kid his whole world was made up of footballs, back- yard scrimmages, footballs, school- yard scrimmages and more foot- balls. Offensive End He was big and rangy, with a quickness that belied his burly frame, and as a player he became better than good. He won varsity gridiron letters three times in high school and three times in college=- a perfect record. But instead of turning profes- sional, he decided to accept an offer with General Motors. For a while, it looked like the philoso- pher was right and that football had only been a boyhood craze which had ended upon graduation.

Ann Arbor Municipal Airport ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN NOrmandy 3-9321, Then, sitting in his office two years ago, George Mans made a decision. Michigan Tech, lord of the ice rink but patsy of the grid- iron, had just given him a chance to become backfield coach. First Love Minutes later he was cleaning out his desk. "There was no use in kidding myself," explains Mans. "When I'd first joined General Motors, I wasn't exactly sure of what I wanted to do. But there soon was no doubt. Instead of writing out production lists, I'd be doodling around setting up football formations. It was back to football for me." After one year up at Houghton, he signed on as defensive line coach at Eastern Michigan. And then, a month ago, he rejoined his alma mater here in Ann Arbor as assistant offensive line coach. "I'm extremely pleased to have him back as a coach," enthuses head coach Bump Elliott, who had Mans as a player in 1959-60-61 and who recommended him for the position. "He has an outstanding desire to know the game and to pass on that knowledge to the players." Contentment And with no formal induction other than inking his contract, Mans became one of those men who make dreams real. He's back doing what he wants to do. "When I get up in the morning now, I look forward to going down to the office. I don't regard my job as 'work.' I enjoy it and I'd like to remain a coach for the rest of my life," says Mans in simple terms of dedication. "There is always something dif- ferent and exciting to look for- ward to in football. Each game is a different game, each offense, each defense and even each play is different. . . . And, as a coach, you're dealing with personalities- with players and fans. Every time you meet a new recruit or every time you meet someone who saw your game a week ago or a year ago, it's a new experience. There is nothing stereotyped about foot- ball." Trenton High Mans' affiliation with football began in Trenton, Mich., where he was born and where he earned all-league and all-state honors as a prep gridder. "My neighborhood was just like those Canadian towns which em- phasize nothing but skating. . . Only in Trenton it was football. It was the thing to do ... every- one played football. Gary Lowe (who later made it big in the pros with the Lions) was in high school there when I was just a kid, and everyone looked up to him," re- members Mans. Then, with a small chuckle, he adds, "Of course, Lowe went to Michigan State." Mans, however, who helped Trenton to a composite 17-1 rec- because of1 school." the coaches and theI Homecoming Current coaches Jocko Nelson and Hank Fonde, along with El- liott, were also handling Wolverine football when Mans enrolled at Michigan. "I can remember George as al- ways being an outstanding leader. He never gave anything but his best out there," recalls Elliott. Mans played tight end for the Wolverines for three years-with- out setting any records or without even playing on a championship team. But these facts are mislead- ing to his real value as a player. Michigan, led by Bennie McRae and Dave Raimey, was a rushing team which paid little attention to an air attack in the early sixties, The Wolverines didn't even have a split end during Mans' stay at Michigan. Heartbreaker But, as captain in his senior year, he was instrumental in send- ing Michigan into a showdown battle for a Rose Bowl berth with Minnesota on the final day of the ED:* GEORGE MANS ord in his junior and senior year, came to Michigan-as a tough of- fensive end. "Forest Evashevski had wanted me to come out tol Iowa, but I stayed with Michigan Gridiron -the Living Jind'for Mans season. The Wolverines lost 23-20 on a last-minute fumble in the backfield, and Mans had to settle for" a spot in the North-South All- Star game instead of the trip to Pasadena. He had a BA degree in Business Ad and so Mans took a position in the automotive field after grad- uation. But his love of the sport prevailed. "It's great to be back at Mich- igan. I sincerely believe that there is no better group of coaches to work with and to learn from," explains Mans. Mans is handling the offensive ends, thus spelling Tony Mason from that chore and giving rotund Tony more time with the interior offensive line. And according to Mason, "George is a real student of the game. You can't say that this is his first year here and that he's just learning, because in that sense we're all still learning. He played at end and he knows what playing the position means." Number One Theme On the field and off the field, Mans' interests reflect his involve- ment with football. He hasn't mar- ried yet, and even his hobbies in- clude attending football clinics. "I like the outdoors, and I play golf and hunt, but I'd rather see a football game or be working with the team. And that leaves little time for anything else,' Mans ex- plains. How long is he going to remain a bachelor? "Well, Tony Mason didn't get married until last year and he's 35, so I think I've got a few more years to go," says Mans with a smile. And Mason joins in with, "Even now, I sometimes get so caught up with my work that I forget that I'm married." Whereupon both Mans and Ma- son put on their coats and went out the door "to have dinner with a high school football coach in A 9 YESTERDAY'S TWINBILL CANCELL 'M' Nine Powers by AS U, 9-6 China U.S. Scholar, Former Policy Advisor ALEXANDER ECKSTEIN Leading Expert on Chinese Economy FELIX GREENE Author, Producer of Film "CHINA" MORTON FREID Noted Anthropologist of Chinese Peasantry U.S STATE DEP'T.

Here is how I did it. special To The Daily SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.-Arizona's warm, dry climate is supposed to be good for sinus sufferers, but it also must help the muscles. The Michigan baseball team proved it by powering out a 9-6 victory over Arizona State University last Fri- day night in Phoenix. The Wolverines used a total of 13 hits and two Arizona State miscues to provide their nine-run total. It was the Wolverines first game of the year -and Arizona State's nineteenth. The Sun Devils are 15-4. Yesterday's scheduled double- header between these same two teams was rained out and one game has been rescheduled as a night game for Wednesday, March 30. It will be the third game of a tripleheader for the Michigan club. In the afternoon Michigan will play the University of Wyoming and Arizona State. Surprise for Sun Devils 'Playing in Phoenix Municipal Park, spring home of San Fran- cisco Giants, Michigan wasted no time Friday night as they came up with seven runs in the first inning to show off some of their power which had been bottled up in Yost Fieldhouse. The seven-run outburst was highlighted by first baseman Chan Simonds' two-run inside-the-park homer as the Wol- verines sent 11 men to the plate in the "hello" frame. Michigan picked up another run on a solo shot by third baseman Keith Spicer in the fourth, and Simonds chased home the last run BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU A mobile that is time- ly, tantalizing, topical.

Nick Rad- akovic relieved in the seventh, holding Arizona State scoreless in that frame, but ran into trouble in the eighth when last year's na- tional champions loaded the bases with only one out. Stingy Substitute Michigan coach Moby Benedict went to junior letterman Jim Lyijynen who closed the door on the Sun Devils, retiring the last five men without allowing a ball out of the infield to save the win. Arizona State starter Fritz Glick absorbed the loss, faling to survive the Wolverines' seven-hit barrage in the first inning. Michigan's captain Bob Gil- hooley was also an offensive standout, getting on base five times on three walks and two hits. Every Wolverine starter, except second baseman Rick Sygar, col- lected at least one hit.

The blue-shirted side, composed of most of the returning offensive lettermen along with some less experienced returnees and a pas- sel of freshmen, seemed to get the best of the white-shirts, who boasted many of the Wolverines' returning defensive players with a few freshmen thrown in too. Quarterbacking for the Blues was split between Dick Vidmer and freshman Dennis Brown, with Vid- mer at the helm while the more experienced Blue players were in the game. Vidmer's unit, which included Clayt Wilhite and Jack Clancy at the ends, Stan Broadnax and freshman Dave Denzin at tackle, Henry Hanna and Don Bailey at guar4 and Joe Dayton at center, was the most effective of the four that played for the first hour and a half.
