THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THIREE Bob Westfall Will Lead Wolverine Gridmen Next Seaso: n _ <"' don wirtehafter's DAILY DOUBLE i I ' That Serious Attitude.. . They could kid and laugh and horse; around more than any other bunch+ of athletes you ever saw, and yet they could still win gamest That was Michigan's football stock of 1940. If ever a squad had a good time playing, it was the one that wound up its schedule with a 40-0 trouncing of Ohioin Columbus Saturday. They joked in the locker-room be- fore the games. They made cracks in the huddles. They toyed with their opponents. Takef this last Buckeye game for example. The Wolverines had the best time of their lives from beginning'to end. With Michigan two touchdowns ahead, the gridders went to work. Bob Kolesar leaned toward Ohio's guard Thom, chuckled twice, and whispered: "Don't bother rushing in on this play, lad. We're throw- ing a pass." Thom went tearing in. Harmon faded-back aud flipped the ball to Evashevski in the flat, and Michi- gan had its hird score. A little later in the game, Harmon grabbed the ball from center again, and tore back to flip another aerial. In came Jim Daniell, the Buckeye's crack tackle, in, quick pursuit. Seeing that he had no chance to catch the Ace, Daniell on the run barked forth, "betcha two bits you don't make it good." Harmon kept moving back, drew back his arm to fire, yelled back, "you're on, pal," and sent the ball in- to the air. I! I. Ed Frutig romped past the Buck- eye secondary, pulled the ball down and Michigan had its fourth touch- down. Coach Schmidt sent a'substitution into his baffled Buckeye lineup. His shirt was white and clean. He looked too good for a football player. Frutig took one look,' turned around to his teammates and shouted, "he must be one of those fraternity boys, fellas." Then Ralph Fritz stuck his head out of the Wolverines' line, sneered twice at his foes across the way, threw out his chest and yelled, "who says we haven't got the best team in the world?" On the other side of the line, Kolesar was disgusted. "Aw, come on guys, cut out the chatter. How can a guy play foot- ball with all this noise going on?" How can you beat a team like that? Evidently some of you thought that I was taking that Hollywood press release seriously yesterday . . . Fran- cis Schmidt stated yesterday, "I will not resign." . . . Last October just after the close of the baseball season, Oscar Vitt said, "I will not resign." . Here it is Wednesday and still no protests have been sent from Co- lumbus. The dream backfield Harmon,, va- shevski and Westfall, along with u- tig, made the INS All-Conference eleven . George Franck, who re- ceived more votes than Harmon in the AP poll of coaches for their All- Conference squad, was not even chos- en by his mates as the most valuable player on the Gopher team., SPORTS CLINIC SCHEDULE Wednesday, Nov. 27 Badminton, 4:15 p.m. Main Gymnasium Instruction by Richard Levy, of the Intramural Department, to anyone interested.

IFORMAL DRESS HEADQUARTERS Michigan Rises To Fifth Place In APRatings Wolverines Pass Vols; Minnesota Is Favored To Win National Poll By BILL BONI NEW YORK, Nov. 26. -(R)- Al- though Minnesota definitely declared itself out of the Rose Bowl picture today, the Western Conference foot- ball champions figure very import- antly in one post-season contest. The Golden Gophers again are the No. 1 team of the country in this week's seventh Associated Press Ranking Poll, and from the results of today's balloting are favorites to finish in that position when the final votes are cast next week. Minnesota, on top for the third straight week, got 88 of the 170 first- pjace votes this time (only two of the count y's experts rated them worse than fourth) to accumulate 1,562 points. Only 448 points, how- ever, separate the Gophers from fourth-place Boston College, with Texas A. and M. and Stanford second and third with 1,476 and 1,264 points, respectively. This week's first ten has a strong Mid-western tinge and is likely to retain that to the end. In addition to Minnesota, there is Michigan, one of the Gophers*two extra-point victims, in fifth place; Northwest- ern, beaten twice but a big winner over Notre Dame in its finale, sev- enth, and Nebraska, the Big Six Champion, eighth. Rounding out the list are sixth- place Tennessee, which will be fav- ored to complete three regular sea- sons without defeat when it meets Vanderbilt Saturday; Georgetown, ninth, and Ivy League champion Penn, tenth, only two points behind the Hoyas. First-place votes, besides Minneso- ta's, were 41 for the Texas Aggies, 15 each for Stanford and Boston, three for Michigan and eight for Tennessee. Charity Game With Gophers VieryUnlikely Along with yesterday's heavy snow- fall a stiff northerly gale swept along idle rumors of a post season game between Michigan and Minnesota. Proof that sole father of such an idea was the northerly breezes was found in a poll of athletic officials on the Michigan campus yesterday. Coach Fritz Crisler said, "There is apparently no chance of such a game going through. After all, if we were in Minnesota's shoes, we wouldn't be interested even if the Big Ten said it was okay." "As far as I know, the conference rule which prohibits post season games will not be altered-;" said Prof. Ralph Aigler, chairman of the Board in Control of Physical Education when questioned over the phone last night. Not since 1931, when Michigar played Wisconsin in a post season game for unemployment relief, has the Big Ten relaxed this rigid ruling. In that year all the members of the conference participated in an extrE game for the purposes of charity. Despite the apparent obstacles such a game might present many of Michi- gan's revenge seeking alumni have sent telegrams to Prof. W. J. Monk- haus, of Indiana University, who is chairman of the Big Ten Athletic Board, urging a re-match. To further decrease the tempo o: the northerly breezes, Coach Bierman Gopher Coach said, "Minnesota def- initely is not interested in any post- season games." Harmon Voted Most Valuable By Grid Squad New Wolverine Captain Is First Local Star To Pilot SquadSince 1916 (Continued from Page 1) Sweetwater' Enlists In Champ U.S. Army New Players Will Dot Hockey Lineup In Saturday's Premier of Ohio State Saturday, but they still think he's tops. And here's the black-and-white proof. The Wolverines scored - 196 points this season, Harmon scored 117, 16 touchdowns, 18 extra points and one field goal, and threw seven scoring passes, 42 more points. He played a total of 433 minutes out of a possible 460, and did most of the kicking for a better than 40-yard average. When you include his de- fensive value, it all adds up to "most valuable." The Sun Set This was Harmon's greatest year in a great career. He was 16 points better than he was as a junior, and scored two more touchdowns. Almost half of his 237-point total was made this fall, and his kicking was a wel- come addition. His rushing total was 842 yards in 192 tries, for a 4.38 av- erage, compared to a three year record of 2,134 yards in 398 tries for a 5.4 average. He passed 95 times, completed 43 of them for a .452 per- centage, to boost his over-all percent- age to .432 with 101 completions in 233 tries. He covered 503 yards of a 1,399 three-year total through the air this fall. In three years the Gary Galloper has gained 3,533 yards for Michigan. William Hurley, of Grosse Pointe, was announced to succeed Fred How- arth as senior manager. His alter- nate is Monroe "Budd" Gilbert, of Williamsville, N.Y. The junior man- agers will be Albert Grunewald, of Grosse Pointe; Howard DeYoung, of Muskegon; James Kline, of Erie, Pa.; and Edward Aldworth, of Grand Rapids. New Football Captain The new captain was introduced for the first time last night at the University of Michigan Club of Ann Arbor's banquet at the Union by re- tiring Captain Evashevski. Regent Harry Kipke, former Wolverine coach, was the principle speaker at the af- fair which was given for about 200 high school athletes of Ann Arbor and the surrounding area. Fifteen lettermen from this year's squad at- tended, and such sports stars as Charlie Gehringer and Mickey Coch- rane, of the Detroit Tigers, "Whizzer" White and Lloyd Cardwell, of the De- troit Lions pro grid team, and Man- ager Jack Adams and Ebbie Goodfel- low of the Detroit Red Wings hockey club were also there. Coach Crisler showed pictures of the Ohio State game as one of the feature attrac- tions. The annual "Football Bust" of the Detroit Alumni Club will be held Dec. 4 at the Book-Cadillac Hotel This year's lettermen and the Wol- verine coaches will also be honored guests at this event. Spectators at the opening game of Michigan's 1940-41 hockey seasony next Saturday night against the Lon- don A.C. will likely see three new faces when the Wolverine team takes the ice at the openihg whistle. The starting lineup has not been" definitely decided as yet but Coach Eddie Lowrey has indicated that there will be newcomers at both of the wing posts and at the goalie's spot. Veterans Returning Capt. Charley Ross and Bert Stod- den, both veterans, are definitely set at the defense positions and Paul Goldsmith will probably start the first game at center. Goldsmith is a junior. Planking Goldsmith, however, will probably be Max Bahrych and Bob Kemp, both up from last year's strong freshman squad.Both of the wingmen are smart hockey players and speedy skaters and should add a lot of punch to the Michigan offense.. In the nets for the Wolverines, there will be a newcomer although Coach Lowrey has not yet decided between two candidates. Hank Loud is a junior who was forced to remain in the shadow of Capt. Eldon (Spike) James last season. Earlier in the yepr, it was thought that Loud would have clear sailing for the net-mind- er's job this season but due to the fine work of a sophomore aspirant for the job, Hugh McVeigh, Lowrey is still in doubt as to who will be wear- ing the pads in the opening con- test. Two Newcomers The second forward line will pro- bably be made up of Johnny Gillis at the center position and Jimmy Lovett and Jim Anderson at the wings. In this trio are two more newcomers inasmuch as neither Gillis nor Anderson has ever seen service in an intercollegiate hockey game, although both are upperclassmen. The Michigan mentor plans to use. either Bob Collins or Gil Samuelson as a defense replacement for Charley Ross and Bert Stodden. Last season, Ross and 8todden played sixty min- utes apiece on the back line in nearly every game. SWIM TEAM Eleven University of Michigan swimmers will give an exhibition at Hammond, Ind., high school to- day. Those making the trip are: John Sharemet, John Patten, Bill Holmes, Bob West, Claire Morse, Ted Horlenko, Francis Heydt, Bruce Allen, Louis Kivi, Jim Wilk- inson, Louis Haughey. i .*i CHRISTMAS IS HERE!

By WOODY BLOCK They're thinking of putting a fence around the pool in the Sports build- ing' before Friday. Matt Mann is wor- ried that when Michigan's swim- ming enthusiasts see Clayton Mains, the country's foremost comedy diver perform, they'll roll right into the cool, green waters. If you've never seen the latest in ridiculous you're in for a treat when you witness the Swim Gala Friday evening. Oh, there'll be plenty of legitimate dives, beautifully executed by varsity men Jack Wolih and, T- Bone Martin, besides two lovely fem- inine stars. But when Clayton Mains, formerly in the Cleveland Great Lakes Expo- sition and Billy Rose's Aquacades, steps out and off the board you can start holding your sides. r He is undisputed master of such difficult dives as the "One-and-a- half-come-out-of-it-if-you-can," the "Dipsy-doodler-pike," the "Belly- flopperoo" and countless others. Mains is from River Rouge and held the state 220 yard dash title a few years back. He took his swim- ming ability, a lot of nerve and jumped into the comedy end of the diving business. He skyrocketed to success with his novel interpretation of how "not to dive and make a suc- cess of it." Helping Mains entertain the Swim Gala crowd will be two of Matt's own boys, Bill Holmes and Claire Morse. That means three "Happy-Hooligans" on the loose and anything is liable to happen. But diving isn't all that Matt Mann has to offer his swimming public. Working hard yesterday were four boys who will portray the "History of Swimming" in what is to be called "The Water Ballet." John Patten, Jim Welsh, Bruce Al- len and Louis Kive were treading water for hours yesterday as Matt kept shouting, "One-two-three- over!" All this work is going in to make the sixth annual Swim Gala the greatest ever. Friday is the day, 8 p.m. the time, the Sports building the place, and fifty cents the admis- sion. r iwrr r rrr.r..+r. wr rrrr+Fr. r r. .+ I. 'I The Downtown Store for Michigan Men.
