Another rca ' ri that the spot writers write what', her readers want to read. Peole w ,,ch the ball car- icr and want to re\ d about hie. Of all the linemen the, gards re- cive ithe least p ibi\ tiy. The end c,,n tie sesen esiy. 'fli' center's work can be jurdged fairly ''accurately on defense as far as passi g the ball is oeriefned. Sometimes the tackles arle asily discernible. But the guards, in the iddle of tlte pileups, in the center of the plyx and hard going, seldom are visible. But ''arry Kipke, is going to change all of that with 1',is "rump wheel"1 offene He has fo~nd .a wa to draw attention to the lon-deserv- ing guards although they 'still will be doing the same work. in, modern six-man-line football, a, team's defensive strength rests largely upon the tiards. There is .a wide expiarse from tackle to tacklei that they must fill And itis at that samhe expanse of terrtory 'that the opposition can throw their full of- fenisive strength. A guard's duties do not stop there. Their blocking, is of primImport-, nrrc to the running attack of ateam. They try to snap out of the .lin, whir around end, and bwl over the opposition If they do, .the halfbak rims along for a nice gain and re- ceives the plaudits of the °erowd. if= t hey don't, the back sarestZO'e and Ihle attack tails. Michigan, with Harry l$ewman, had a much-feared passing attack,t but nowk without him, the running game must be developed. To this end is attributed the new phase of Mipke's attack. The "rump wheel" lineup of theI f uards simply means that instead ofa facing the opposition, they will be facing their own backfield. When the ball is snapped they will be turned around and can get out to] block more quickly than if they had to reverse their position first. This means that they have a bet- ter chance of bowling over the ends1 who have not had time to size ups the situation before the quick block. Usually when the ball is snpped the ends cross the line of scrimmage two or three steps, wait, size tup the sit- uation, and get set for what they expect to happen. Now with the fly- ing start they'll be hit before they've had time to do all of ths. Kipke hopes that this will give his running attack the blocking that it must have to be successfl. He also points out that the play of the guards is brought out into the open and proper attention will be given them for their hard work. The public has an advantage over a sport writer as they have no re- rsponsibilty for the game and can watch an individual in several sue cessive plays. A person can learn l more football by watching a' guard all afternoon than they can by; jam 11(1Squad G-oes TDornestie * F o r "'f Sp ia4 I N ' RI SM ay Iivc- G.'c.,Incs 1111Yp i T.ichlugan's baseball Weam iinwi g o :,operative dur ing the Spring11011-I ia.The team wvili remain in Arn .) or throughout the vacation,. in ,_ tier to get mere drills before the pcni; of the scason. serprac- cc _.i azes will be playe~d.wit>id n":~cngto prese,,nt plans. i the tezam had planned ~ C' to Yo live in Detroit widiveaout in (:-e ear every doy.
