THE LINEUPS I Pos. ell LE LT h LG C RG an RT rud RE ch QB LH RH ly FB Michigan Conley Keating O'Donnell Cecchini Hahn Yearby Laskey Evashevski Clancy Rindfuss Anthony Aerial Attack starting lineup has been to move junior Dick Rindfuss ahead of sophomores Dick Wells and Bob Quist at right halfback. Rowser Defends Rowser goes in on defense for Frosty Evashevski, who will be starting at offensive quarterback again this week over ailing Bob Timberlake and Bob Chandler. "I have confidence in our pass defense," Elliott told a Detroit newsman earlier in the week. "I feel it'll eventually be a good one. I thing our players learned a lot last week. They still may mnake some mistakes, but not as many." Hardin is likewise optimistic. "I'm not concerned," he said. "At least seven of the completions have been for less than five yards and five or six others were against our reserves. "On many of the others we've been in position and just missed by a hair of getting to the ball. Nobody's got the home run against us yet." Raps Kicks Hardin does concede that the Middies' kicking-off leaves some- thing to be desired, however. His strategy is to have Navy kick a bouncing ball, since the team does not have a long kicker. Timberlake does the place-kicking and kick- offs for Michigan. Besides Timberlake, whose bruis- ed riglft shoulder will keep him from seeing full action, Michigan also has doubtfuls in reserve tackles John Yanz and Don Blan- chard and guard Dave Kurtz. Yanz and Blanchard have leg in- juries and Kurtz an infected knee. Navy will be missing second- team left guard Daye Gillespie, who has a dislocated elbow.

This time Oosterbaan will be in the picture once more-as a radio color commentator in the Wolverine pressbox. As Michigan's only three-time All-American, Oosterbaan played in the first three games, served as assistant varsity coach in another and as head man in two more. He recalls the first game in 1925 as a sophomore on what Fielding H. Yost often called his greatest team, a stunning 54-0 rout that startled the college football world. Everything Right "Everything broke right for us that day," Oosterbaan recalled. "Yost had built us up to a fight- ing pitch emotionally. He empha- sized that we carried not only our own hopes but the honor of Big Ten football into the game. Flops Flora (now Dr. William R. Flora of Detroit) broke through so fast he took the ball off the punt- er's foot to score one touchdown. Benny Friedman was at his best throwing passes and he hit me with several for a couple of touch- downs." When Oosterbaan mentioned the 1926 game, however, he smiled and shook his head. "We were really fattened for the kill that time," he said. "We went down to Washington and had our picture taken with President Cool- idge in front of the White House. We stayed at Annapolis and were treated with the greatest defer- ence. We walked miles around Washington and Annapolis, visit- ing historic spots. The Baltimore papers referred to us as great champions-we even believed it ourselves. ' WGets Dumped "Then Navy dumped us, 10-0, on Saturday. Tom Hamilton, who'd taken part in the 1925 game, was superb that day. He kept the Midshipmen to a fighting pitch by his great play." Then Oosterbaan led the 1927 team to a 27-12 win. He was fresh- man coach in 1928 as the two teams tied, 6-6, in 1928. As assistant coach in 1945, he watched a Navy wartime team down the Wolverines, 33-7. 4 10 fl 6 U I At his weekly conference this Wednesday, Hardin wasrbombard- ed with questions about the pass defense of his own team, which has had even less luck in plugging up the airways than Michigan has. Better than Half The statistics for the two teams are as follows: In one game (a 27-16 win over Southern Methodist), Michigan has allowed a 55 per cent pass completion record against it, as Danny Thomas and his cohorts completed 15, of 27 attempts for 253 yards in last Saturday's season-opener in Ann Arbor. Navy, meanwhile, has allowed only one touchdown in lopsided wins over West Virginia (51-7) and William. and Mary (28-0)., However, the two losers riddled the Middles' secondary awith 29 com- pletions in 46 attempts-a com- pletion average of 63 per cent. What these figures mean for today's game needs a little inter- preting, though. Navy has been installed as the favorite by six to eight points, despite the fact that most of the 53,000 fans on hand will be against them. 'First, Michigan's secondary will have to contend today with Roger Staubach, Navy's 6'2", 193-pound' All-America candidate who is lead- ing the nation in total offense (482 yards) and is second in pass- ing percentage (.744). Only Short Ones Second, as Michigan end coach Jomko Nelson points out, Navy's statistics may be a little mislead- ing. Nelson scouted Navy's gamy last Saturday and says that most of the passes thrown against the Middies have been short ones- four or five yards. "You can do a lot of interesting things with figures," Nelson says. "It's not fair just to look at the record alone. Navy's defense against long passes hasn't really been tested yet."j Neither Elliott nor Hardin has shown much anxiety so far about their defensive secondaries. El- liott's lone change over last week's LOS ANGELES (') - Stunned by a 38-yard field goal and an 88-yard scoring pass play by half- back Sherman Lewis, Southern California came from behind with a spectacular counter attack of its own for two touchdowns and a 13-10 football victory over Michi- gan State Friday night. Sophomore halfback Mike Gar- rett on the first play of the fourth quarter, ripped through the mid- dle of the Spartan line for 52 yards and within six more min- utes, quarterback Pete Beathard connected with a 16-yard touch- down pass in the 'end zone to tow- ering end Hal Bedsole. Big Ten Play, Opens By The Associated Press CHICAGO-Five tough outside jousts will test Big Ten football prowess this weekend, but con- ference attention will focus on two league scraps-Northwestern at Illinois and Ohio State at In- diana. In 10 games thus far played against outside rivals, Big Ten teams have a 7-2-1 record, but this could be deflated consider- ably today. Peggedyshort-enders in today's competition are Iowa vs. Wash- ington at Seattle, and Michigan and Purdue, as hosts to Navy and Notre Dame, respectively. Only Minesota, desipte a 14-7 defeat by Nebraska, has the fa- vorite's role in the five non-con- ference encounters, against Army. Fast-starting Northwestern, No. 5 nationally, may be grabbing a buzzsaw at Illinois, where the Il- lini open Big Ten play after dumping California 10-0. Defending champion Wisconsin, which has beaten Western Mich- igan and Notre Dame, is idle. A crowd of 59,137 in Memorial Coliseum, whichf had just about given up any hope of a Trojan victory, was electrified by the abrupt turn of events. Garrett's spectacular run on a quick opener obviously fired up the Trojans. When Willie Brown returned a punt by the Spartans, the Trojans struck again. Beathard flipped a short pass to Brown, who raced 51 yards to 'the MSU 18. Garret gained two, but the Spartans held. With fourth down and eight to go, the Spartans put a big rush on Beathard and chased him to- ward the sideline. A noted scrap- per, Beathard finally located his 6-foot-5 receiver in the corner of the end zone and Bedsole made a jumping catch-his first after dropping several previous throws. Michigan State completely dom- inated the fiist half but scored only a field goal from 38 yards by Bobich. The Trojans never were able to penetrate beyond the Spartans' 43-yard mark and only twice did the cross midfield. Lewis' sensational 88-yard run on a screen pass from sophomore quarterback Steve Juday length- ened the margin. -Daily-Jim Lines DEFENSIVE RUSH-Junior tackle Gerald Mader is shown moving in on SMU quarterback Danny Thomas in last week's contest. The Blue line will have to do better today against Navy's highly- touted Roger Staubach, as they only reached Thomas on two occasions to throw him for losses. The Middies are favored to take their third straight victory, while the Wolverines will hope to gain an upset and their second win of the season. 711 #I gnerat ion THE CAMPUS INTER-ARTS MAGAZINE FEATURING POETRY BY: DONALD HALL PATRICIA HOOPER KONSTANTIOS LARDAS k4 t, ALEX KREKICH ... tough tackler Grid Highlights for M-MSU Battle Pre-recorded for TV, #i "Michigan is bigger, stronger and faster than anything we've met," Hardin said earlier this week, shaking all the way down Va his boots. "Michigan has its best team in seven years," he added, ignoring Elliott's 6-3 team of two years' ago. "They have depth and bal- ance. If they can run with the ball they'll ram it down your throat. If not, they'll throw. "We'll have to play at our best to beat them," he added. Elliott, needless to say, feels the same way about Navy-in spades: i Yanks Hoj By The Associated Press pe for Wmin on Coast LOS ANGELES-Roger Maris is not expected to be in the lineup today when the hard-bent New York Yankees engage the Los Angeles Dodgers in the third game of the World Series, still seeking their first victory. Maris, who bruised his upper left arm when he crashed into the right field barrier at Yankee Sta- dium Thursday while chasing Tommy Davis' triple, was not in uniform during a two-hour Yan- kee practice session at Dodger Stadium yesterday. Manager Ralph Houk refused to commit himself on whether Maris would play, but he left little doubt he would be surprised if the slug- ging right fielder were available. Not Over Yet The Los Angeles Dodgers could not be in a better position going into the third game of the World Series, but Manager Walter Al- ston said yesterday that "this thing is by no means over yet." "It's a nice feeling to win the first two games," Alston said, "but this Yankee club can't be trusted." The Series would be over if the Dodgers win the third game today and the fourth tomorrow, but Al- ston was not assuming a sweep. He said he'll start right-hander Don Drysdale today and south- paw Sandy Koufax tomorrow. Alston said he expects to leave Skowron in the line-up although the Dodgers will be facing a right- handed pitcher in the third game. The Dodger manager said Dick Tracewski would remain on sec- ond base. The only change would be Ron Fairly in right field in place of Frank Howard. "Moose always has been a streak hitter," said Alston. "I'd hate to take him out. I like to stay with a hot man. I have been satis- fied with the way Tracewski has been playing although Ken Mc- Mullen probably will be able to play if we need him." Yanks Hopeful As for the Yankees' desperate situation, Houk did not attempt to minimize it, but still talked bravely of winning. "We've come from behind be- fore and I'm sure we'll do it again," he said. "Al we need are some runs. That's been our main trouble up to now. "I know we are much better than we have shown. Their pitch- ing has been excellent but we've faced pitching that was just as good all year and we didn't do too badly. "We haven't had a chance to play our game because we've fal- len behind so quickly. We just had to take whatever we could get. When you're trailing by three or four runs early you can't play hit and run, you can't gamble. All you can do is hope for the big inning." Not Surprised Asked whether he was surprised at the Dodgers' robust hitting in the first two games, Houk said, "No. The Dodgers looked like we figured they would look. They're a good club. The only thing that has surprised me so far is our hitting, or lack of it. This club can score runs and I'm sure it will before this is over." Houk said Whitey Ford, losing pitcher in the opener, probably would pitch the fourth game to- morrow. He made no mention of a fifth game pitcher. There will be no need if the Dodgers win today and tomorrow. By RICK HARRAH Television cameras dotted the scenery before, during and after the Wolverines win over Southern Methodist last Saturday, but not because the game was on the air. Rather it was a little ground- work, laid by WJRT-TV in Flint, in preparation for its special cov- erage of the upcoming Michigan- Michigan State game. WJRT, Sports Director Dick Bing, with the supervision of Spe- cial Projects Director Owen Lee, is piecing together another in a series of WJRT specials about Michigan. (The station has won national acclaim for these specials in the past.) To be aired the night before the MSU contest here next week, the show will follow the chronolog- ical build-up to the game, both in Ann Arbor and East Lansing. Already taped are sequences with the football equipment men at both schools and both teams in practice and scrmmages. The show will also give atten- tion to the pre-game activities of the Michigan Marching Band and its director, Prof. William T. Re- velli of the music school, as well as the MSU band. Sequences were taped last week showing the bands both in formation rehearsal and then again in action. Bing reports that advance re- ception of the special has been good, and that a sponsor has al- ready bought the show, sight un- seen. The station hopes to air it outside of Flint also, but plans are set to show the half-hour pro- gram on Oct. 11, both in Flint and Grand Rapids. He said that the show will not only include pre-game prepara- tons, but also footage of past games with both teams. Ex-'M' Battery In Winter Loop Major league baseball's Winter Instructional League opens its season next week, and Michigan fans will note some familiar faces in the group the Detroit Tigers are. sending. Two of Michigan's recent greats, Bill Freehan and Fritz Fisher, will team with four of their former college opponents to represent the Tigers. Freehan, catching for Michigan in 1961, led the Big Ten in hitting and Fisher posted a 9-1 record as Michigan's top pitcher last spring. Pitchers Bill Faul, Pete Craig, Tom Fletcher and Joe Sparma, all past Michigan opponents, were also chosen by the Tigers. Faul, Cincinnati star in 1961, and Craig, Detroit, '63, are both NCAA Tourney opponents. Fletch- er, Illinois, '62, and Sparma, Ohio State, '63, had faced the Wol- verines in Big Ten play. October 8 is set for the Winter League opener in a season that includes 56 games and features teams from 10 major league clubs.
