rY A ~ -N vv t ' PRESS PASSES Michigan Nears Peak Form For N. J I /l By BUD BENJAMIN FO I 1 I l~~ . Wildcat T ackle Awaits Wolverines Diary Of A Football Coach. . . THERE ARE two prerequisites for membership in the Football Coaches Association. First, you must have some knowledge of this business of "agitating an inflated ball," as one old college president called it. Secondly, you must be a pessimist. The latter attribute is not so easy to attain as you may think. One mustj have a flair for the drama and a very realistic outlook on life. One must be a "poker face." Such near-empotional displays as lip twitching, eye wrinkling, and teeth showing indicate an inadequate, knowledge of the ethics of the profession. A giggle is heresy. A laugh is just cause for disbarment. Only one belly laugh has ever been recorded, that one emanating from dour Dr. Jock Sutherland of Pittsburgh, Pa. The doctor happened to remember one day that he had a breather with Carnegie Tech on Saturday, and it struck him so funny he became quite hysterical. His standing among his colleagues has suffered because of this faux-pas. In the eyes-of some of them he is a boor. Now Fritz Crisler of Michigan, a member in good standing, has lived up to the by-laws of the organization admirably this year. Crisler, by his own admission, has felt happy exactly 17 hours since practice started. This brief span of unholy revelry came between the close of the Michigan State game and Sunday morning when Crisler met his scouts. Since then here's his diary: Oct. 3-8: Worried about Chicago's spread formations and weight advantage. Oct. 8-15: Worried that the 45 to 7 Michigan victory over the Maroons might make his squad over-confident. Also Minnesota loomed ahead. Oct. 15-22: Joined his entire squad feeling unhappy about Minnesota loss. Worried about Yale-something his squad failed to do. Oct. 22-Nov. 5: Worried before Illinois and Penn games because his squad had been living off of their Minnesota clippings. Very angry and vexed over Penn's two last minute scores. , ' Nov. 5-10: Worried about Northwestern. \ Stress Kicking In Preparation Kromer, Former Team-mte,.

Pladelphia, Pa.. DeptV LLIGATOR RAINCOATS ound at Ph. ,DI3228 emost Clothiers CLARENCE MUNN worries about Michigan's line. He is an inveterate pessi- mist, but besides this, he is psychic. In the Pennsylvania game, the Quakers were back on their own one yard line in the second quarter. Frank Reagan dropped back in short punt forma- tion. "Watch Siegel block this kick," Munn whispered to manager Phil Woodworth sitting beside him. He did. A few minutes later Penn was deer in their, own territory once more. Again Reagan dropped back to kick. Again Munn turned to Woodworth: "Watch Kromer return this for a touchdown," he muttered. He did. Later in .the game, swami Munn just missed his shot Michigan was on the Penn 47, and Woodworth was scratching his scalp and the bristles thereupon. Mused Munn: "Kromer's about due for another touchdown run on this play." He missed by six yards, strutting 41 yards before he was run out of bounds on the Penn 6. After practice last night I walked into the locker room with Mr. Munn. I maintained a respectful silence. "Well, we're the underdogs this week," he mused as we entered the Field House door. I almost slipped. I was about to ask him who would win this Staurday when it suddenly struck me. Wouldn't the swami be silly letting the cat out of the bag on Wednesday? I'll ask him at 5 p.m. Saturday if he had the dope. PICKUPS: Don't believe this chatter about the Big Ten sending football representatives out to the Rose Bowl . . .

The winners lost little time in scor-a ing their first touchdown. On the first play after the opening kickoff, lineman "Bud" Londy of the Senators :ecovered a Dough Boy fumble, and on the next play, Barney Wahl went 'over for the initial tally. Wahl also registered the second touchdown of the encounter when he caught Frank Jankowski's 25-yard pass -in the end-zone in the last quar- ter of the tilt. With the Has Beens already having copped the championship of Division 2, the last of the three league titles! will be decided this afternoon when the Forestry team plays the Wolver- ines. the victory, 7-2, in yesterday's lone speedball match, The first half, featured by largely defensive play, found Psi.

Their opponents, though were not idle, for Harry Cal- cutt put a drop kick over the bar for two points and John Chapman and Tom Watkins each pushed over a point to put the game on ice. The scores for the losers were made by Art Bartholomew and Grey Nelson.
