THE MTCHTGAN FATLY ' HUu SDAY, NO-VRivfBER 28, 1929 THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, NOVE~IvIBER 28, 1929 .. _ . . . . A WOLVERINE TANKMEN TO MEET FORT WA I NE Y.1 I.C. A. 'DUCKY' SIMRALL PROMISES TO BE POPULAR LEADER "Ducky" Simrall, diminutive Wol- verine quarterback, has been chosen by his team-mates to cap- tain the 1930 Michigan Varsity; football eleven. In making this se- lection, they have chosen one of the best-liked, and grittiest play- ers ever to wear the Maize and Blue of Michigan. "Ducky" is one of the most tireless workers on the squad, and plays with enough spirit and dash to inspire the men to putf forth their best efforts for him. Simrall is the Pommerening of 1930, as far as total playing time goes. The Wolverines played on eight Saturdays during the season just past, which would ordinarily, include 480 minutes of actual play- ing time. Yet the new captain-elect engaged in 490 minutes of play, due to the fact that he participated in, both games of a double header with Albion and Mt. Union on the opening day of the year. In thoseI two contests, Simrall played for 70 minutes, enabling him to take part in 490 minutes of play throughout the season. Since that first Satur- day, "Ducky" at no time was taken out of a game. In build Simrall is one of the smallest, and in age he is one of the youngest, of recent Wolevrine1 captains. He tips the beam at only 162 pounds, and stands five feet ten, inches in height. In spite of his lask of weight he is one of the1 hardest players on the squad, only, one time-out being taken for him Sideline Chatter TRIO OF VETERAN MANY IMPORTANT GAMES LISTED SUADSER UCLEUS AS TURKEY DAY GRID FEATURES .14 1 By Edward L. Warner. With the 1929 grid campaign ending this week except for a few post-season games, discussions are frequent as to which team in these United States can be rated at the top of the heap. This is a question which never can be satisfactorily settled due to the vagaries of the schedule and the practical impos-. sibility of choosing one eleven out of 500 or more college squads throughout the length and breadth of the nation. At present there are only five major teams that have sur- vived the present season un- beaten and untied. They are Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Pur- due, Tulane, and Tennessee. In addition there are several teams representing smaller institu- tions that have unsullied rec- ords, but cannot be considered in line for the mythical nation- al championship due to the fact that they compiled their records against a lesser class of corn- petition. These include Western Maryland, Utah, Ohio Univer- sity, and Texas Christian. out of the undefeated class. PURDUE.
