THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1960
Fitzgerald Typif ies New'egime
By FRED STEINHARDT
The score-Michigan State 14,
Michigan 10'
With less than five minutes re-
maining in the first half, the
favored Spartans had taken the
lead for the first time from a
determined and surprising Michi-
gan team on a four-yard thrust
by Gary Bailman..
Bobbitt kicking off for State,
McRae and Fitzgerald back for
Michigan. Toe meets ball and
76,000 pair of eyes are riveted
upon McRae and Fitzgerald. The
strategy is to keep everything
away from McRae, a speed mer-
chant and fine broken field run-
ner. The kick sails high and deep,
towards Fitzgerald.
Gathers in Ball
Fitzgerald gathers it in on his
own one yard line and slants
toward the middle to pick up his
blockers. A feint with the shoul-
der, another with the head, and
two green jerseys fly by him-
missed.
Suddenly he cuts to the right
sideline and there is no one there.
Defender Felled
The 35, the 30, 25, 20. The last
Michigan State defender with a
chance to catch him is closing in
across the field. But he is felled
by a perfectly timed block by Mc-
Rae who has kept pace from the
one-yard line. Touchdown, Michi-
gan.
Michigan leaves the field at
halftime, leading 17-14.
Dennis Fitzgerald, starting right
halfback for Michigan, typifies the
new regime at Ann Arbor, now in
its second year under Bump El-
liott.
Fitzgerald is not big, as half-
backs go. He stands 5'9" and plays
at 180 pounds. He is not fast. But
he is tough, tough enough to have
won the Big Ten 167-pound wres-
tling title last spring.
Fitzgerald remarked that the
run represented "a good effort by
everybody." Although he is fre-
quently called the holler guy of
the team in press releases, Fitz-
gerald claims that Michigan's
great spirit is not the contribu-
tion of any one individual
Hard-Nosed Team
"We have a lot of- players that
came up the hard way,_ and we
all take pride in playing with a
tough, hard-nosed team. you can
never let up because there is al-
ways a guy waiting to take your
place."
"This team goes into every game
with the feeling that it is as good
as any in the nation," he contin-
ued, and if the opposition is bet-
ter, it had better prove it on the
field."
How does Fitzgerald see the Big
Ten race?
Teams Tough
"I don't think there will be an
undefeated team because there are
just too many strong schools.
Every team in the conference can
punish you physically even if it
never wins a game. They play
bruising, tough football and you
have to be sharp every game, not
only to win but to keep a team in
good physical shape."
Fitzgerald is one of the few Ann
Arbor boys who went on to star at
the hometown University. He
graduated from Ann Arbor St.
Thomas in 1954 where he was
captain in his senior year.

After graduation he intends to
maintain his amateur status with
a long eye ahead to trying for
the 1964 Olympics in wrestling,

and try to help Cliff Keen's squad
retain its team title.
This Saturday when Michigan
attempts to trip up a Duke team
that has won its first three games,
keep an eye on number 18 with
the old style Michigan helmet
reminiscent of Michigan glory of
the past. He's not big and he's
not fast. But he's tough.

Upsets and romps highlighted last week's Grid Picks contest,
but in the final tabulation, it was necessary to resort to the closeness
of the scores of the Michigan game to decide the winner.
Martin Piehl, of 337 E. William picked 15 correct games as
well as coming closest to the actual score. He is the possessor of two
free tickets to the Michigan Theater, now showing "Elmer Gantry".
You, too, can win two free tickets. All you have to do is decide the
winner of this week's games and the score of the Michigan-Duke
game.
Entries may be picked up at the Daily office and returned by
hand to the main office on the second floor or mailed to Grid Picks,
Michigan Daily, 420 Maynard St., Ann Arbor. All entry blanks must
be in by Friday midnight to be eligible.

Like to get in on the ground floor and stay
there? Sorry we can't help you. But we do
have lots of room for first-rate seniors who
want to get places fast in the communications
industry. Seniors with a flair for science, engi-
neering, business, accounting, management
and personnel work.
You can find out how you fit into this
business in just one interview. See your Place-

You must admit that our old shop was quaint, cute
and cozy. We had lots of fun there and made many
new friends, but there just wasn't enough room to
accommodate more than a handful of customers at
a time. Another thing: there wasn't sufficient space
to display suits, sportcoats and topcoats. We had to
be content selling sensibly priced sportswear and
furnishings. Now, mind you, we weren't unhappy..
But all that is changed now. We have a new and big
shop at 1209 S. University (near Church Street) where
there's plenty of room for our complete selection of
fine men's clothing, sportswear, furnishings and in-
teresting accessories. A few things about J. B. Towne
haven't changed: every item in the shop is still sen-
sibly priced; and you're always welcome to come in
and browse around.
