E SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY T I-M ACTION: ilenn Davis Emerges as Star Lion EndSe Scott, Huber BR~ _7IM R ER.L . ., ( . . UESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1 Playoffs JyJ JR±1n x 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. - I 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.

Michigan won the invitational regatta at Base Lake last weekend by a 19- point lead, winning both high point trophies. MichgnSailrsSweep 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.
