TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1940 Crisler "Starts drilling Squad For Spartans Coach Praises Linemen, Reserves For Victory; Plane TripSuccessful After giving Pacific Coast football fans a convincing demonstration of Michigan's traditional phrase, "Champions of the West", Coach Fritz Crisler's Wolverine gridiron machine now turns its attention up East Lansing way where Charlie Bachman is putting the final touches on his menacing crew of Michigan State Spartans which is pointing for its annual Ann Arbor invasion Sat-. urday. Concerning the smashing 41-0 tri- umph over California's Golden Bears last Saturday, Crisler had nothing but lavish praise for his gridme. Particularly pleasing to the Michi- gan mentor was the 'excellent work of the linemen, the sharp blocking -especially the very effective down- field blocking, and the hard, sound brand of football turned in by the reserves." Harmon Looks Good The performance of Tom Harmon, who turned in touchdown runs of 96, 82, 62 and seven yards in addi- tion to passing to Davie Nelson for another and booting four extra points, also was cited by Crisler as very impressive. But Fritz was a little dubious whether all the credit for the over- whelming win lay in Michigan's strength. The Bears, he remarked, were weakened by the loss of their star halfback, Jim JurkoVich, and their line did not live up to pre-game evpectations. Difficult Task Ahead A further and more definite indica- tion of the Wolverines' gridiron power will come Saturday, however, and Crisler warns that "the task will be infinitely more difficult". "State is much more ready for the tilt", the Maize and Blue pilot ex- plained," since the Spartans have had three weeks of intensive train- ing with the thought of the Michigan battle foremost in their minds every minute." Coming out of the California fra- cas in fine shape, the Wolverines have only three minor injuries bothering them. Norm Call, starting halfback, has a slight strain in his heel, but it isn't expected that this will keep him out of the starting lineup for long. Varsity tackle Al Wistert suffered a bruise of the ster- num, and junior Davie Nelson broke off the tip of his tooth. Three-Hour Practice Romping through a light three- hour grid drill yesterday afternoon, the squad appeared to have shakenj off all effects of its California flight. A passing drill and running throughI signals occupied most of the practice. In regard to the air jaunt, itself,] Coach Crisler was very enthusiastic, and he pronounced it "marvelous in every manner". Indications were that neither the team nor the coaches would be aerse to a flying trip to Minnesota for the Gopher clash, Nov. 9, instead of the usual long, strenuous train trip, which necessi- tates departure two days before the game and a tiresome grind around the southern tip of Lake Michigan. And the chances of such a shift from the usual mode of travel are not too dim.

Superlatives couldn't describe how the victorious Wolverines felt about their jaunt to the Pacific Coast. De- spite the fact that they all were air sick at one time or another, the 35 huskies would repeat the trip at a minute's notice. Just ask them. Harmon Eludes Spectator "It was wonderful," Tom Harmon said when asked how he liked the trip, "and it looks now like we might fly to the Minnesota game." The spectator that tried to stop me on the goal line was drunk as the devil," the Hoosier Hammer informed us. "Boy, I wish Tom would have a birthday every day," Capt. Evashev- ski chimed in. As he reeled off his practice togs, Evy remarkew that "those California boys weren't as bad as the score indicated. They lost their heart after Tom's run for a touchdown on the kickoff. Golly. it was a great trip, though I did feel bad at times." Roberts Explains Sickness Ray Roberts, the Wolverines' fly- ing trainer (he has over 200 hours of flying completed) explained the large number of woozy gridders. Ray said that "most of the boys were sick from fear rather than anything else. Flying so high through rough wea- ther makes a person rather sick," he pointed out. Ed Frutig, the pass-snatching end, boasted that "some of the boys with the weak stomachs got sick, but not me." "No," said George Ceithaml. the hard-hitting number-two quar- terback, you didn't feel bad 'til those planes circled Ann Arbor. Boy, did you look weak!" Ceithaml, too, re- iterated what Evashevski said about the California team. "They weren't as bad as that score showed." California Here I Am Singing in the worst baritone ever heard, Jim Grissen yelled over to Ralph Fritz, "I'm goin' to California next summer," and the stocky guard yelled back, "me' too, I'm going to school there." Coach Crisler, extremely pleased with the showing of his team and praising the trip with such words as "marvelous, great, beautiful," also had words of praise for his sopho- mores. Kolesar Played Well Bob Kolesar, the Cleveland boy who plays a lot of guard, said through his heavily-bandaged face (he had a touch of impetigo) that he was "scared stiff at first, but it sure felt good later on." Kolesar is a sophomore as is Rudy Smeja, Cris- ler's reserve end who "almost went mad when they put me in for the first time. They weren't too tough; I guess that first touchdown broke their backs." Rudy Sengel, giant tackle from Louisville and a sophomore also, probably summed up the hopes and Important M Club Meeting ,'Thursday 8 p.m. at the Michigan Union.

Manager Bill McKechnie of the Reds and Del Baker of the Tigers have nominated Paul Derringer and Buck Newsom respectively as their probable pitchers. Derringer's record this year has been twenty victories against eleven setbacks. while Newsom has notched twenty-one wins against four losses. Cincinnati is staking everything on the premise that they will win the first tro games. Derringer and Waiters are beth low ball control pitchers, and McKechnie is counting on his two ace hurlers to hold the perponderance of Tiger batting pow- er in check. Cn the other hand, Baker wants to win those first couple of ball games, too. He feels as most Tiger supporters do. that the Tiger punch Meals Like YOUR Mother Makes at the Campus Kosher Restaurant 611 Church Open daily 1I :00 A.M. to 12 P.M. Dinners 5:30 to 7:30.
