A new star emerged from the
Detroit Lion bench last Sunday.
It was two-time Olympic 400-
meter hurdle winner Glenn Davis.
Davis joined the Lions last season.
He had played high school football
but never competed in college.
Davis joined the Lions roster when
halfback and captain Howard
"Hopalong" Cassady,, a classmate
of Davis'at Ohio State, asked that
the Lions give the speedster a"
tryout.
The tryout proved successful and
Davis made the squad. He ap-
peared in several games last sea-
son, but usually was in for - one
play, a long pass in which he was
supposed to outrun his defender.
This play was never successful,
but Davis did manage to make one
reception before the season ended.-
Thought Droppable
The speculation prior to the
beginning of this season was that
Davis would be dropped from -the
Lion roster in favor of some newly
acquired draft choice. But he
wasn't.
In the first six games the world
'440-yd.' record holder saw very
limited service. He caught but one
pass in six games.

Then last Sunday against the
last place Los Angeles Rams, Lion
Coach George Wilson unleashed
his new "twin right or twin, left"
offense and along with it Glenn
Davis.
Gibbons Tight
With this new offense, end Jim
Gibbons played the tight right end
position; Terry Barr played a wide
right flanker back and Gail Cogdill
played the other slot back .pot
between right tackle and Gibbons.
Davis played left end.
The offense worked almost to
perfection. With one side (the
right) flooded with three feceivers,
Davis went out on'the left. He
had only one man to beat and
caught four passes.
Established as Pro
Davis' receptions were good for
53 yards, but more important, it
established him as a pro end. After
his first catch he was slammed by
Ram defensive back Clendon
Thomas and fumbled, but he re-
covered.,
In the second half, the Rams
put two defenders on the speedy
end, thus opening up Jim Gibbons
over the middle.
Pietrosante Ramhbles
Of course Davis was not the only
successful Lion last Sunday. Full-
back Nick Pietrosante gained 112
yards rushing; Cogdill caught
three passes for 103 yards; Barr
caught one pass for 48 yards; Gib-
bons caught three tosses for 18
yards; quarterback Jim Ninowski
completed 11 of 23 passes for 241
yards and score one touchdown,
and Danny Lewis, who sat out
most of the game, still managed
to cross the goal line twice.

FIVE, FOUR-Maneuvering for positions at the start of a pre-
vious Michigan Regatta, the teams head for the line. Michigan
won the invitational regatta at Base Lake last weekend by a 19-
point lead, winning both high point trophies.

Midwest Invitational Meet
Led by "A" skipper Norman Rabe. the Michigan Sailing team
topped eight midwest schools this weekend to win their home invita-
tional regatta by a 19-point lead.
Michigan skippers Rabe land Paul O'Reilly assisted by Fred
Krause and Jim King chalked up 132 points to Michigan State's 113,
Notre Dame's 110, Purdue's 80, Ohio State's 69, Wayne State's 69,
DIT's 66 and U of -D's 32.
Rabe took the high point skipper award for the regatta and
O'Reilly took -high point for "B" division. The contest was one of
survival on Saturday with high and puffy winds. Sunday saw no air,
drizzling rain and a wider Michigan lead.
Five boats were swamped in Saturday's high winds delaying the
regatta. As none of the Michigan crews swamped, the accidents were
attributed to the visitors' unfamiliarity with the Jet 14's.
