OCT. 10, 1936 THE MICHIGAN DAILY "The PRESS ANCLE By GEORGE J. ANDROS A Real Column BEFORE VERY LONG SOMEONE is going to accuse me of doing a good job of getting out of the task of writing a column every day. Maybe there will be some truth in the accusation. But right now I couldn't write a decent pre-game piece if my job depended upon it. For just as I sat down to write a few minutes ago I happened to glance at the sports section of Friday's Detroit Times. And when I had finished reading editor Bud Shaver's "SHAVINGS," I knew there would be no original "Press Angle" today. Here is a sport column that would make anything I could turn out look silly. And coming at a time like this nothing could be more appropriate. Our kindest thanks to Mr. Shaver for permission to reprint his piece in The Daily. To Get Chance Today i * * * * Coaches Stay Late A RED SUN toppled off the purple parapet of Michigan's stadium and left a few golden islands floating in the western sky. The last Michigan football player long since had crunched across the cinder path and disappeared in the field house, to crack off his mud en- crusted football armor and wash away his weariness in a warm shower. But in the gathering gloom on Ferry Field one little group of men in football uniforms remained. They were huddled on the sod talking earnestly in low tones. So long did they remain in the huddle that all but two or three of the reporters waiting to talk to them tired of waiting and slipped away into the darkness. The men in the huddle were Michigan coaches, not Michigan players. When the conference finally broke up one of the reporters chided them: "If you coaches take that long in a huddle, what can you expect of a quar- terpack?" It's Work For The Coach HMARRY kIPKE grinned and began scribbling more pencil marks on the thigh of his pants, an area already completely filled with old pencil marks-names, circles and crosses, the field blackboard of the Michigan coaching staff. One by one he dished out little morsels of news to the reporters, until satisfied and in fear of cold dinners they left. Alone, Kipke crossed the cinder path into the field house and sat down wearily on the bench in front of the locker room. Watching him, one realized that whatever college football may be to the players it is much more than a game to a coach. It is a pity that such a fine game as football should reward its makers with so small a portion of joy and so great a.portion of mental agony. Worry Is Their Lot TT IS THE SAME whether a winning team or a losing one. If Michigan had opened its. season with a victory over Michigan State instead of a defeat, the scene on Ferry Field nightly would be the same. I have seen Kipke both as a winning coach and a losing one and he is the same during those days and nights preceding a game. What is true of Kipke is true of all coaches if they are worth their salt. Gus Dorais of Detroit winds up every season as gaunt as a ghost and even such a husky citizen as Charley Bachman of Michigan State is scarred with the marks' of intense mental effort and agony. One has to care a lot for football and for winning to be a successful coach; and that means worry from one Saturday to the next. Good coaches worry because they are alive to their immense responsibilities. No game in sports demands as much of the man on the sidelines as football. Indiana Game Is Typical MICHIGAN'S GAME with Indiana tomorrow presents a typical example. It is Michigan's first Big Ten game of the season. It comes the week following a disappointing defeat at the hands of Michigan State-disap- pointing to Michigan, that is. It was no disappointment to State. Michigan beat Indiana last year only through a lucky break. Indiana was much like Michigan must have been against State, Saturday, a team with all the tools but still unaccustomed and awkward in their use. The Indiana team which Bo McMillin brought to Ann Arbor last year had one of the best offenses I saw all season, but erred in execution. The Hoosiers just didn't click that early. Hoosiers Are Determined THE INDIANA team which comes to Ann Arbor tomorrow is not likely to make the same mistakes as its predecessor. It is more experienced, more accustomed to the McMillin brand of strategy. It also is impelled by a fierce desire to wipe out last year's defeat. That presents a special problem for the Michigan coaches. They not only must school the Wolverines in new plays and new defenses, correct the mistakes and plug the weaknesses disclosed in the State game, but give the team something which will make them forget the initial setback and arouse them for the new contest. So much stress is placed on proper mental attitude in football that often I have resolved to find out what it is and how it is acquired. It is probably nothing more than a will to win, born of confidence, a feeling of competency to cope with whatever football problem is presented on the playing field. Produced By Hard Work THAT FEELING is not built up by pep talks, inspirational messages scrawled on the blackboard, harangues in the locker room between halves, or least of all by newspaper columns such as this. Its only source, probably, is in the sweaty, hard work on the practice field, especially in the most gruelling test of all, scrimmage practice. Teach a boy how to knock another boy down and make some forward progress and you give him a feeling of competency which sends him out on the field with some elation and spirit. Give a whole squad of them some plays which actual practice has shown them will work and you have a football team which has all the proper niental attitude it needs. That is exactly what was occurring at Ferry Field yesterday. Some changes had to be made here and there. Allowances had to be made for boys who were hurt or lame. But the squad as a whole walked off the field with a feeling that it not only could stop Indiana's plays, but could make some of its own which Indiana wouldn't stop. And that is why the coaches were in huddle, until after dark, brewing more of the same kind of medicine. They do the worrying so the boys can do the playing. Indiana Seeks To Avenge Loss In Game Today Confident Wolverines Air At Initial Victory; Kipke Undecided On Lineup (Continued from Page 1) utation as a passer and his bullet heaves are feared by every Indiana opponent. Most of the Wolverines' drill yesterday, which was carried on in Yost Field House because of the rain, was on pass defense and the Varsity had little trouble stopping the Hoosier plays as demonstrated by a picked freshman eleven. Kipke has used several backfield combinations in drill this week and as a result it is expected that there may be numerous substitutions in the Michigan lineup. Ritchie, Everhard- us, Phillips, Hook, Stanton and Cur- ren are all ready to prove that the 1936 Wolverines are just as strong as pre-season dope made them appear and are anxious to use Indiana as the proving ground. This will be the 10th meeting be- tween Indiana and Michigan and only once have the Hoosiers been able to come out on the long end of the score. This was in 1928 when In- diana won, 6-0.. On every other oc- casion Michigan has shut out the Hoosiers, doing so last year when Patanelli recovered a fumble punt in the end zone for the only touchdown of the game. Trainer Ray Roberts stated yester- day that all three of the injured regu- lars, Patanelli, Cooper and Smithers, are in condition to play although some fear is felt over the captain's power in lasting the full game. The Michigan squad spent last night in Plymouth while the Hoosiers stayed in Ypsilanti, neither team returning to the battle front until after noon today. It is expected that with favorable weather today's crowd will number approximately 30,000. Tentative Lineups Referee: Frank Birch (Earlham); Umpire: Dr. E. P.

Smick will either start the game or enter as a substitute for the ailing Captain Matt Patanelli. Ann Arbor And Ferndale Hivh Battle To Tie' Ann Arbor High School last night dedicated its newly-lighted football field by playing to a 6 to 6 tie with Lincoln High of Ferndale. The local Pioneers scored first, early in the opening period. Fern- dale received the kickoff and after two plays !,Tank Bulman, Ferndale quarterback, kicked from his 25-yard line to Lew Kalb on the Ann Arbor 26. Emerging from a pile-up with only Bulman ahead of him, Kalb scored behind aebeautifulblock by Norm Grob. Koernke failed to kick the point. Midway in the second period Fern- dale, taking the ball on their own 20 after Koernke had drop-kicked over the goal-line in a field-goal at- tempt, launched a touchdown march with a 40-yard run by Don Allen. Burt, Ferndale halfback, took the ball the remaining 40 yards in five plunges. Neustadt broke through to block the try for the winning point. An outstanding feature of the game was the excellent punting of Max Peet, Ann Arbor fullback. Left: The double-breasted top- coat shown here is made of black and white herring-bone shetland.

And it can be written and said today about Michigan's foot- ball team. It's not exactly spirit Coach Harry G. Kipke was talking about as he and his boys prepared to leave for Plymouth last night to rest for the; battle with Indiana this afternoon. True, he said with a grin that "they., showed a lot of zip" today. But it was more than that. "They're working together," he said. "They all seem to have their minds on one thing-beating In- diana." There is no doubt, he de- clared, that with the new arrange- ment (the shift in line-up) things are going and will go much smoother. Kipke, his slouch hat dripping rain as he entered the Union, looked like a man who thinks he should be con- fident but doesn't quite dare. As Patanelli, limping slightly, Valpey, Sweet, the entire team trooped in one after another, all with light-hearted faces, Kipke grinned. "Think you'll win tomorrow, Kip?" he was asked. Kipke half shook his head, smiled, and said slowly: "I feel pretty good." But he went on in a serious vein to say that tomorrow will be a fight to the last ditch. That he was cer- tain that as far as ability to scrap goes, his boys have what it takes. And you gathered that the some- thing that last week made for con- fusion, maybe it was lack of leader- ship of some sort or other, had been remedied. H. E.
