FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1941 THE MICHIGAN I LY Husky Bob Kolesar, BIruising Guard, Proves Big Factor In Varsity Line I ' By ED ZALENSKI There will be more than one po- tential All-American made or broken on the proving grounds of Michigan Stadium tomorrow afternoon when the unbeaten Wolverines battle un- defeated Minnesota in the most ti- tanic struggle of the year. Bcth Head Coach Fritz Crisler and Line Coach Clarence Munn agree that burly Bob Kolesal. powerhouse guard of the Michigan eleven, possesses all the qualities of a great player-an All-American. Potentially Great In the words of that grid magician, Crisler, the Wolverine lineman is "po- tentially a great football player." The Michigan mentor's next words should put fear in the hearts of future Wol- verine foes. "Kolesar will be great," Crisler added, "if he continues mak- ing progres as he lid last year and up to date this season." Summing up his reason for believ- ing that Kolesar should reach great heights in the football world, Cris- ler said that Kolesar had-all the at- tributes of gridiron greatness-speed, size, quickness in action and thought and an innate love of the game. Hasn't Reached Peak Line Coach Munn who is second to no other of linemen in the c'ountry, echoed Crisler's appraisal of Kolesar when he declared that Bob had not yet reached his peak. "Last year. Bob had alternated with sparse-haired Milo -Sukup," Mun said, "ansd didn't hit his stride until b BOB KOLESAR the final game of the season against Ohio State." The manner in which Kolesar per- sistently tore through the Buckeye line gained for him the respect of every Ohio gridder. His distinction of being the only 60-minute player of that memorable clash is proof that it was "his day." In Munn's esti- mation, Kolesar is a hard worker who plays because he loves the sport. Probably the most powerful man on the squad, blonde-haired Kolesar left an enviable record at John Ad- ams High School in Cleveland, Ohio. Upon graduation in June, 1937, Bob could look back on three years of successful competition in football basketball, baseball and track. Highlight of Bob's high school ca- reer came in his senior yeAr whey John Adams drubbed West Tech 19-7, for the Cleveland city title be- fore 60,000 fans. A quiet, unassuming fellow.

Picks Welverines Strange as it may seem. the 195 pound, 5' 10" powerhouse is -a love: of swing music, but only the "strict]- solid" stuff. According to Al Wistert Michigan tackle, Bob is "on thE: beam" during practice when the band is going strong. And what does Kolesar think about this Minnesota clash? "The Gophers are going to be tough, but unlike' Northwestern, they'll stress weight instead of speed and deception. WeU want no moral victory. The record books don't tell the story of how Minnesota was pushed all over the field. They tell us that we lost, 7-6. It's going to be different tPmorrow." Many Sports Notables To See Minnesota Tilt The press box at the Stadium to- Imorrow will look like a Who's Who of American sports writers and broad- casters according to information re- ceived from Fred Delano, Athletic Publicity Director who claims he even has to turn down news reel com- panies in this mass attack of footbal experts.( Among the 275 celebrities who vil crowd the spacious quarters of t press box to capacity are Bill Sterr and Ted Husing, ace sportscasters fo_ NBC and CBS respectively, and such noted newspaper men as Stanley Woodward, Jim Kearns, Bill Cun- ningham, and Grantland Rice.

Few will realize what a privilege they are enjoying for nearly half of them could not see the game except for the forethought of Fielding Yost. In 1925 our old Ferry Field was still in use. It could seat 45,000 spec- tators, and was one of the biggest in the country, but Y'ost still wasn't satisfied. "We need one twice as big," said the 'Grand Old Man.' "Yost is a maniac," said many ordinarily sensible people when he began cam- paigning to make his dream a reality. Yost ins Out As usual, however, Yost wp the skeptics over, and in the same year 30 acres of land were purchased in a half sunken bowl at the top of Main Street. In 1926 the excavation began, and the following year the stadium was completed at a cost of $1,250,000. In 192 the' OhiodMate game drew 85,088: people, and Yost had once again proved he was right. Now, 15 years after the first game was played in the stadium, a capacity crowd of 85,753 is a reality. Yost has scored again. Thirty-five miles from the nearest large city he has dared build the coun-try's largest college- owned stadium. Electric Scoreboards The electric scoreboards,Clike Qe stadium, are the ecmal of any. . Cre- ated by a student, then in school here, they have been copied by major universities everywhere. The press box too is superb. To- morrow 275 celebrities, including Bill Stern and Ted Husing, will crowd into the spacious quarters called by many the best football press box in the country. The most important feature of the stadium, however, is neither the size nor the accessories, but the seating arrangement. No pillars, suburban bleachers, or running tracks obscure the view in this' architect's dream. A perfect oval, the stadium slopes upward at an angle which eliminates any bad seats. Yes, everybody said Yost was crazy, but how many would think so now? They wouldn't think so if they could have seen that line outsidel of Harry Tillotson's ticket office Monday. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ top shape at al times.
