Graduation had put it there.
"There was going to be a weak-
r ness," gleefully scribbled the ex-
perts in their magazine previews.I
This year was going to be some
cheap alloy metal holding togeth-
er the iron framework which once
was Michigan's immalleable of-
fensive line.
.Pro draftees Tom Mack. Char-
lip Kines and Steve Smith were;
gone. Mack and Kines had been
the two tackles so anti-social they
wiped out any defensive lineman
who want d. to meet un with, the
Wolverine backs, anduSmith had
been the rangy end who was us-
ually too busy catching passes and
decoying defenders to notice.
Even the Michigan coaches had
to agree that there was more to
finding replacements for the three
than filling in new names in the
lineup.
But heroes are made, not born.
Screen Stars
So M'chiqai's two offensive line
coaches-Tony Mason and George
Mans-started screening and test-
ing the greenhorn linemen and
ends. This Saturday the men chos-
en to fill the role will have their
first chance to fet into the mo-
vies'- game films of Michigan's
clash with Oregon State.
"They can be as good as they
want to be, and they want to be
good,' says a confident Mason,
coach of the interior line. Mason
is the kind of guy who likes a
challenge, and he doesn't often
get snowed by it.
His choice for the "pulling"
tackle is Jim Hribal-a non-let-
tering senior who's shown "poise
and toughness" in practice, while
his pick for the other tackle slot
is Ray Phillips-a junior who's
"smart and doesn't make many
mistakes."
"They've shown me they can
do the Job and as far as I'm con-

cerned, they're not going to be a
weakness," asserts Mason.
"Their attitude is good and they
have been working hard. Now
we'll just have to wait until game
time."
End-to-End
Mason's concluding statement{
correlates well with Mans' half-
warning, half-daring words about
his two assignments-tight end
and split end.
"We're ready for anybody, and
we're anxious to see what Oregon
State is going to do this week-
end," smiles a likewise confident
Mans.
Of course, leading the list of
pass-receiving proteges is record-
breaking, All-America Jack Clan-
cy-captain of the Michigan elev-
en.
"Jack is a real leader and hus-
tler . . . the kind of player the rest
of the team respects. What has
continued to impress me is his
willingness and drive to improve,
no matter what the record books
say," praises Mans.
The 6'1", 192-pound Clancy
worked out twice a day during
most of the summer, catching aer-
ials off the fingertips of starting
quarterback Dick Vidmer and pol-

ishing his pass patterns. In addi-
tion, he visited the Lions 'train-
ing camp in Cranbrook to watch
the moves of the pros.
Clancy will start at split end.
But while Clancy rides the crest
of his wavemaking season, threat-
ening to wash out anyone who tries
to beach him, the pessimistic crit-
ics point out that tight end Smith
has left and that heir-apparent!
Tom Pullen has been shelved by'
an injury.
Meanwhile, Clayt Wilhite, who
started out the fall as a second-
string offensive end after being a
backup man on both sides of the

Depth at the tackle positions is
likewise pretty much static.
Pete Mair is behind Hribal after
losing out in his bid for a first-
string role, and soph Bob Penska
is the number one substitute for
Phillips.
Anchoring down the middle of
the line is an almost inconspicu-
ous bulwark called Joe Depend-
able, or more formally Joe Dayton.
The senior center played 275 min-
utes last year in the form that
Mason describes as "consistent."
"He's done exactly the job that
we've asked of him," explains Ma-
son.
His sub will be Jerry Danhof,
another senior.
Michigan's line just may be a
metallic patchwork job, as the
critics claim, but the melting pot
of a game could be enough to fuse
together a high-resistance wall.

In case either Bailey or Hanna'
should get sidelined, Mason has
Dick Yanz who "can fill in at

could be used if the need arises.

Just how long do you think a two-man foootball team could l
hold out against a full seven-member squad-no strings attached?,
Some years back, a pair of wide-ranging, sideline straddlingt
intramural i ayers at Michigan matched quality against quantityt
and almost wiped out some cherished gridiron theories.
Outnumbered but not out-classed, the duo shot into a 7-6 lead1
and held it until the final moment of the game before being'l
dropped 12-7.
It could only happen in intramurals.
Michigan's program is entering its 55th year in the tradition f
that "learning game skills in college results in a lifetime of en-
joyment from being able to play the game well.,"
That may sound over-dramatized, but in a 1937 a young fresh-
man from Gary, Ind., won the annual award for All-Around Ath-.
lete in intramurals. His name was Tom Harmon.-
Elmer Mitchell got the IM system on a sure-footed basis att
Michigan in 1921 after ithe idea had slipped in and out of the scenet
for the previous 60 years.
Mitchell guided the program until 1943 when present Intramural
Director Earl Riskey assumed the reins.I
In the 55-year span, increasing participation culminated t
into last year's S6-sport slate open to every non-varsity athlete 1
on campus.
However, the loss of two fields to the new All-Events build- t
ing combined with the incorrigibility of the trimester program 2
has phased softball out of the schedule for this fall.
Along with 'A' and 'B' grid play, there will be four other fall r
sports on the 1922 fare. Golf, tennis, track and cross country
join the sport which the Detroit Lions play for kicks and 1
Michigan State plays for keeps.
Tennis matches this week opened IM action, while, golf will wait:
for the weekend of September 24-25, track for Sept. 27 and 29 and'
cross country for Actober 6.
There will be team competition in each of these sports even
though the sportlight will be on the individual.
Once again, the ;sports will be played under Residence Hall,
Fraternity, Independent, Professional and Faculty divisions
with the exception of track and cross country which are left
for the long-winded quaddies and fraternity men.
Single thinciads, independent of teams, can also run in the
all-campus cross country jaunt.
So far, there's no record of anybody getting lost on the harrier
run, but there could always be a first time.
How long is it? Well, would you believe . . .

In the tight National League
pennant race, the current first
place LOS ANGELES DODGERS
play 11 of their last 18 games on
the road. They entertain the con-
tending PITTSBURGH PIRATES
three times at home beginning to-
night. The Pirates, carrying the
burden of a 15 game road trip
which began with the ASTROS
Tuesday night, follow their three
game stint with the Dodgers with
a four game series against another
contender, the SAN FRANCISCO
GIANTS, at Candlestick Park.
They then return home for the
last three game series against the
same Giants. San Francisco, with
the fewest games remaining of the
three top teams, 16, plays 7 of
them at home.

REGGIE HARDING, the sus-
