The Moose .
a real pro
IT'S NOT everyday that you get to come face to face with a
legend. But that opportunity was presented to me this week
and I was loath to pass it up, even if it meant postponing my
lunch hour.
How often does one get the chance to meet a man like
Moose Krentz, and how often can one talk to a man like him in
a room surrounded by the glories which made up his past?
Moose Krentz is out of sports now. He quit the game after
more than 50 years last December, but he has no regrets. The
game was the major part of his life for that half-century and
it owes him almost as much as he owes it.
"I love the game. I still do, and I always will," Moose said.
"But I knew there was a time to get out, and I did my getting
out when getting out was still better for me than it could
be staying in."
But before Moose got out he had accomplished a lot-
perhaps more than any other man in the history of the
sport. Moose was involved in the game, at all levels in his
career-on the field as a player, on the bench as a coach,
and finally in the front office as an executive.
And in all realms of the game Moose was an innovator, one
who contributed more to the development of the game than he
ever was told.
First, as a.player, which Moose recalls fondly, "was the
best years of my life. It was hard work, but it was fun, and I
loved all the torture, and the sweat, and we came to play 'cause
we loved the game and that's the way itwas when we was
playing."
Moose Krentz set records at college, and later in'the
pros. And when his career came to an untimely end at age
30 Moose remembers vividly, "I didn't know what was happen-
ing next. My life was beginning but it was over already and I
wanted it to never be the way it had been if it was going to be
this way again."
But, in fact Moose had just begun. He took over as a coach
and in college and in pro ball he ltered the game - making
it far more like it it today than it ever will be again.
"I never thought that I was doing things different back
then," Moose admits, "but then when you're young that's
always the way it is. If I had to start over now there's not
more or less that I could've begun with."
Begin Moose did, and even he is surprised that it didn't end
for nearly four decades. "It was going to be two, three years,
maybe five I thought, and when it was ten already it seemed
like more, but Lord, that couldn't have been better."
In his long association with sports Moose has seen players
come and go, styles change, and sports become big business.
How does he view these developments?
"The game's a lot bigger than it was in my day, but that's
not 'cause there's more of them. We had the talent then but not
the way some of them could today.
"Sure, there's business in the game, now, but where isn't
there? That's not bad, boy. It's what America's about and that's
why I love it."
What kind of advice does the Moose offer a boy thinking of
sports as a career? Well, the answer may be surprising. "No,
I wouldn't let him do it, if he could. There's too much being,
done here and not enough being said. I'd start in aluminum.".
Moose Krentz is more than a living legend. He is a symbol.
A symbol of perpetual youth, of perpetual optimism. His kind
is what kept sports from being not only a form of recreation,
but a way of life. But, even Moose has regrets.
"If I'd been here ten years later," he wistfully admits, "I
could be richer even than if I hadn't played the game. Look
what these boys are making now, and even if they are big,"
he added with a wink of his still incivise eye, "they're not
mean."

Ruggers whitewash Cleveland
CLEVELAND - The Michigan
rugby club battered its way to
three hard fought victories over'
a strong Cleveland club yesterday
afternoon.
The Blue started out slowly, but
then stormed to a 20-4 decision
while the Gold played the bounce
to a 14-7 win. The Maize found'
the roughest struggle on their way
to a 10-8 squeaker.
The Blue allowed Cleveland to
score a try the first time they had
possession, but shut them out the
rest of the way.

Within the last two minutes of
the first half, winger Ron Smith
dribbled the-.ball into the corner
of the Cleveland goal and fell on
the ball to make the halftime
score 10-4:
Michigan scored twice in the,
second half on penalty kicks of
47 and 35 yards by sure-footed
Osborn.
Smith closed out Michigan's
scoring when Osborn put a twist-
ing inside fake on the Cleveland
backs before lateralling to Smith
who galloped the last twenty
yards.
The Gold scored the only try of
the first half when wing forward
George McKeegan alertly snared
the ball as it squibbed out of a set
scrum and passed to Mike Sween-
ey for the score.
Cleveland narrowed the differ-
ence to 4-,3 on a penalty kick be-

The first casualty of this
spring's football practice hit
the Michigan squad yesterday
as safety candidate Dave Elliott
suffered a twisted left knee.
Elliott, who was a reserve de-
fensive halfback last season,
has been fighting sophomore
David Brown and Barry Dot-

The Maize was comprised main-
ly of Michigan's players playing
two games.

demolished all doubt about his
dexterity as he deftly dribbled the
ball through Cleveland's defense

FLORIDA'S KOCH MEDALIST:
M ichigan .golfers finish tenth
MIAMI - Michigan golfers
moved up two places in the final
round of the Miami Invitational
Golf Tournament. After being in
twelfth place going into the final
day's action the Blue linksmen
moved into tenth place on the
strong play of Dan Hunter..
Hunter finished in nineteenth
place with a four day total of 309.
The team title was captured by
everyone's favorite, the Univer-
sity of Florida. The Gators carded
a fine 1148 total. The University
of Miami finished second with a
1164 sixteen strokes off the red
hot pace.
In gaining its tenth place finish

The tournament drew some of
the best golfers in the country and
Florida's Gary Koch emerged the
medalist in fine style. Koch fired
rounds of 69-68-69-69-275, an

His effort erased the old indi-
vidual record of 280 set in 1968
by Steve Melnyk. Melnyk is now
one of the finer young pros on the
