Inexperienced 'M' Ends Improving
SINCE 1890:
Michigan, Purdue Old Rivals

"Where have all the flowers gone,"'
-from a popular song..
Football fans are aware of the
rich traditions of ends that Michi-
gan. has had. Lowell Perry in 1951
and later Tom Maentz and Ron '
Kramer who many called the
greatest end combination in the
country. Last season's flankers,
Captain George Mans and Scott
Maentz, Tom's cousin, were tough
too.
What's Difference?
These Same fans are asking,
"What's the difference this sea-
son?"
ALTMAN GOES:
Caxrdinals,
Cbs M ak'e
CHICAGO (AP) - The St. Louis
Cardinals took up some slack in
their hitting power yesterday by
obtaining slugging outfielder
George Altman from the Chicago
Cubs in a six-player deal.'
In addition to Altman, 29, who
batted .318 with 22 homers and 74
runs batted in, the Cubs gave up
pitcher Don, Cardwell and catcher
Moe Thacker. In return they re-
ceived right-handed pitchers Lar-
ry Jackson and ;Lindy McDaniel
and catcher Jim Schaffer.
The deal was handled by gen-
eral managers John Holland of
the Cubs and Bing Devine of St.
Louis.

By The Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE - Brash Bobby
Bragan, whose fiery temperament
led to dismissal from managerial
fobs with Pittsburgh and Cleve-
land within a year, signed yester-
day to manage the Milwaukee
Braves in 1963..
Bragan,'who will be 45 on Oct.
30, accepted a year contract to
become the fourth Milwaukee field
boss since the club's last serious
pennant contender when it lost
in a playoff with Los Angeles in
1959.
LOS ANGELES - The Los An-
geles Dodgers re-hired Manager
Walter Alston yesterday and Al-
ston, refusing to believe reports
that he had been sabotaged by
Leo Durocher, said he'd like to re-
tain the colorful and controversial
Dodger coach.
Alston, dean of N a t i o n a l
League managers, will be return-
ing for his 10th season as the
Dodger field leader.
End coach Jack (Jocko) Nelson
explains that the recent inexper-
ienced crop is getting tis"baptism
under fire."
Since last year the end position
has seen a rapid deterioration. Six
lettermen were lost by graduation
alone. Doug Bickle, place kicking
specialist, did not come back to
school.
Lose Top Prospect
And when school started in the
fall the gridders lost the services
of Bruce McLenna and John Hen-
derson, a soph considered the best
end prospect since the Kramer era.
Both boys suffered scholastic ineli-
gibilities.
This left captain Bob Brown as
the only returning experienced
flanker. And as Nelson explains,
"Ever since I've coached here it's
been a question of who to play
where with all our depth. Now it's
the problem of who's going to
play."
As a result of the thinning out
of the ends, a lot of sophomores
are being thrust into game situa-
tions without the necessary ex-
perience and as Nelson says, "The1
mistakes that we normally would
make in practice are with our in-
experience, being made in games,
and the Big Ten is not a confer-
ence to make mistakes in."
Sophomore Bill Laskey, Ben
Farabee, and Jim Conley along
with seniors Ron Kocan and Jim
Ward have been bearing the brunt
of the load with Brown.
Both Halfbacks
Laskey and Ward were both
halfbacks until this fall and never
saw game action from end before
the Army game, while Kocan, a
rugged competitor, has seen lim-
ited action in previous seasons be-
cause of injuries.
But as Nelson hopefully com-
ments, "They still have a lot to
learn, but they're learning it fast."
And they have too.
Both offensively and defensive-
ly the modern football end must
be rugged and fast. As Nelson ex-
plains, "Today the end has moved
in toward the tackle on defense
and could almost be called a
tackle."
Rush Passer
"It used to be that he was re-
sponsible for the sweeps, but we
stress that the ends' primary jobs
are to help rush the passer and
GRID ELECTIONSI

enter The Daily grid picks contest for this week. Some of the out-
standing games this weekend are Michigan State at Notre Dame,
Northwestern at Ohio State, Arkansas at Texas, and of course Mich-
igan at Purdue. Many of the games this week are rated as tossups,
so your guesses just might win two tickets to the Michigan Theater
and a subscription to the Football News for yourself.
Don't let your brain go to waste by doing homework, or taking
bluebooks. Concentrate on really important matters such as this
week's gridiron selections. Fill out the entry and mail or deliver it in
person to The Daily, 420 Maynard, before midnight, Friday, Oct. 19.

to help inside on the slant plays.
It's up to the corner man to stop
the end run or sweep," he added.
Offensively the Wolverine ends
provide plenty of the blocking
while mostly running short pass
patterns. The backs who are gen-
erally faster, go out for the long
pass.

Practice Notes
Coach Bump Elliott ran his
team through a non-contact drill
getting ready for Saturday's game
against Purdue with the offense
running against the defense. He
wound up practice with kickoff re-
turns.

New Starting.
LAFAYETTE (P) - Quarterback
Ron DiGravio led a new starting
backfield through an offensive
scrimmage yesterday as Purdue
prepared for Saturday's visit by
Michigan.
Others in the No. 1 backfield
were halfbacks Tom Fugate and
Charles King and fullback Roy
Walker. Alternate quarterback
Gary Hogan's backfield consisted
of halfbacks Tom Bloom and Cur-
tis Vick and Tom Yakubowski and
Gene Donaldson, who alternated at
fullback.
The Boilermakers also went over
defensive tactics in the heavy
workout.
By TOM ROWLAND I
Way back in 1890, by some
means or another, Michigan
tripped Purdue, 4-0. And when
the two gridiron giants clash this
Saturday, over 70 years later, the
Wolverines will be after their four-
teenth victory over the Boilermak-
ers since that first ancient con-
test.
The Boilermakers have man-
aged to edge by Michigan on only
two occasions, once in 1892 and
again in 1929. And currently the
Blue is clinging to a seven-game
win streak over Purdue, the latest
victory being last year's 16-14
squeaker.
Way Back
The Michigan-Purdue series is
one of the oldest on record; even
Michigan State (1898), Ohio State
(1897), and Minnesota (1892) are
more recent. In fact, in the 15-
game history between the two
schools seven contests were before
the turn of the century.
After Purdue bumped Michigan
24-0 in 1892, the .Wolverines took
revenge a year after with a 46-8
bombardment. The Boilermakers
won 30-16 in 1929 and haven't
seen the light of victory since.
The rivalry is marked with few

Blue Purdue
Last year's Purdue-Michigan
clash at homecoming was a re-
newal of the series after a seven-
year break. The Boilermakers, two
strong victories and a heartbreak-
ing 22-20 loss to Notre Dame un-
der their belts, came to town with
the touted arm of Ron DiGravio
in tow. The Boilermaker quarter-
back had hit 16 of 30 through the
air lanes and coupled with some
piledriving fullbacks was slated to
give Michigan top problems after.
the Wolverines had just dropped
their first conference game.
That first Big Ten game. Mich-
igan State. 28-0. Soun'd familiar?
Ironically, it was DiGravio him-
self who called a pitchout to half-
back Tom Boris in the Purdue end
zone that resulted in two points
for the Wolverines. Two points
was all it took. Michigan scored.

on a Dave Glinka pass and Dave
Raimey from the one - to nip the
Boilermakers, 16-14. DiGravio
dashed from the 13 for one Purdue
tally and passed to Jack Elwell for
the other.
Down MSU
The unpredictable Boilermakers
went on to upset Michigan State
and ended up fourth in the con-
ference. Michigan was sixth.
This year when the Wolverines
travel to Lafayette they're going to
find either a band of very shaken
or very bloodthirsty Purdueans.
Last week little Miami of Ohio
dumped a 10-7 loss on Boilermaker
season hopes after Purdue had
been ranked among the nation's
tops.

BOSTONIAN FLEX-O-MOCS are hand-sewn and handsome
One of the nicest compliments we hear about our Bostonian Flex-O-Mocs is that they feel like
"an old shoe" from the minute you put them on. This wonderful comfort is achieved by
unusually fine craftsmanship . . . with hand-sewn uppers, flexible leather soles, narrow-
fitting backs. In black or olive brown. Yet they're priced at a surprisingly modest... 15.95
