0 Meet Luigi Piccolo
" Lou Little To You
w, By HAL WILSON
! 'Daily Sports Editor
A BIG ITALIAN guy named Luigi
Piccolo has been turning out
good football teams up on Morning-
side Heights for quite a while now.
Call him Luigi, though, and no-
body would know who you meant.
For long ago, this fellow decided
that Piccolo was much too heavy
a burden to carry through life, and
promptly resorted to the law courts.
The result was an anglicized Lou
Little.
NOW in his fwelfth consecutive year
at Columbia Univerisity, Little
ranks as one of the East's truly great
grid mentors. Never ov rly blessed
with material, Lou, a master tactici-
an, neverthles moulds strong cognbi-
nations year in and year out. Satur-
day he will pit his latest, a typical
' Lion aggregation, against the invad-
ing Wolverines in Baker Field.
Little had the usual coaching
background. He played a fine
game of tackle for Pennsylvania for
three years, rating as one of the
Quakers' better performers. Then
after a few assistantships he land-
ed the head coaching position at
Georgetown University. Six years
later he received his berth at Col-
umbia, and within five seasons had
piloted the Lions into the Rose
Bowl.
T VAS DURING Little's coaching
tenure at Georgetown that he add-
ed a little lustre to his reputation as
a handler of 'men. For violation of
training rules Lou had bounced .one
of his best gridmen off the team.
But ithe campus roV in protest, cir-
culating petitions, calling indigna-
tion meetings, etc.
Then with a master stroke of
psychology Little turned a tough
situation into a personal triumph.
Addressing a gigantic indignation
meeting, he told the assembled
students that the particular star
had committed an infraction of
training rules, in a sense betraying
his own teammates, and therefore
no longer deserved a position on the
squad,
FTER a dramatic exit Lou re-
turned to the stage and declared:

"Men of Georgetown, I am merely a,
hired coach, a paid servant of this
University. If you want this man to
play on your team, he will be on the
field tomorrow. I have no right to
deny students a voice in the direction
of their team."
And Lou reinstated the guilty party;
amid a tremendous ovation.. In the,
anti-climactical department belongs
the fact that 'the star played 'the,
next day, was a dud, and Georgetown
lost.
Other pertinent facts in the Lit-'
tle regime at Columbia are: Lou
has sent two teams against Michi-
gan, and despite the fact that they
were lean Wolverine years, in 1935
andl 1936, the Maize and Blue
copped close decisions, - 19-7 - and
13-0 . . . his 1934 wonder outfit
was a surprise selection for the
Rose Bowl . . . an even greater
shock was the Lions' -win over high-
ly favored Stanford, 7-0.
TYPICAL characteristic of Little-
coached teams, above all else, is
deceptiveness. Line Coach Clarence
Munn, who made the scouting jaunt
to Philadelphia last Saturday with
Cliff Keen, declares thatwhile los-
ing to Penn, 19-16, the Lions flashed
a tricky, deceptive offense that
would have defeated the Quakers if
the Columbia ends had been able to
hang onto the amazingly accurate
aerials of halfback Paul Governali,
a 1941 Sid Luckmar .
"This Columbia outfit is really
tough," Munn warns, "and Michi-
gan will really have to be tops Sat-
urday in order to win. Governali
is a brilliant passer and the Lions
have a hard-charging line and in-
tricate offense that will extend
Michigan to the limit."

In Governali, Germann
By STAN CLAMAGE
He's a tough fellow, that old man
winter. But he just isn't tough
enough, for Coach Fritz Crisler sent
his Wolverine football squad through
a long, hard scrimmage yesterday
afternoon.
Braving the elements, with the
addition of a heavy, wet pigskin that
was -difficult to handle, Crisler had
his starting team and first-line sub-
stitutes working on their offensive
play. Tom Kuzma and Capt. Bob
Westfall tore off many substantial
gains through the red shirt line, but
the hard-to-maneuvern ball didn't
help much in the passing attempts.
Kuzma, Don Robinson and Paul
White, however, did get off some nice
heaves with George Ceithaml, Rudy
Smeja and Jack Petosky on the re-
ceiving end.
Lions Have 6peed
From the east coast, Cliff Keen
brings back a story about Columbia
which is quite similar to those that
came out of Champaign not many
weeks ago. Keen, who has been a
frequent visitor to Columbia games
this fall because of his scouting
dluties, tells of a Lion 'quad which
has speed and much deception. "I
have never seen a team that could
work fake plays better." said Keen.
In six games this fall Columbia
has split even, winning from Brown,
Cornell and Princeton, while losing
to Georgia, Army and Pennsylvania.
Keen said, however, that "any of
these games n which Columbia was
beaten could have gone either way."
They are a tricky eleven that can
give any team a scare.
To /make, his deception function
Coach Lou Little sends a man in
motion in many of the plays, and
also uses a flanker to an advantage.
Line Is Light
The Columbia line will average 10
pounds less than the Wolverines, but
they can move fast and can shake
either of their triple-threat backs,
Paul Governali and Ken Germann,
loose. Although Germann is not on
the probable starting eleven, he does
most of the kicking when he is in
the game and is a constant threat as
a runner. In Joe Siegal, the Lions
have a fine receiver for the passes of
Governahi and Germann. In addi-
tion to Siegal, the best men on the
line are the two tackles, Herb Maack
and Ray Makofske. Each tips the
scales at a little over 190 pounds, and
together they carry the brunt of the
defense.
The battle Saturday should fill
the 35,000 seats in Baker Field, and
if the weather continues to give off
the cold and the wet, anything might
happen.

ITreasureHunt
By 11D ZALENSKI
Chalk- up another victory for the
sophomores on Coach Ken Doherty's
University of Michigan varsity track
squad over the supposedly unbeat-
able junior-senior combination.
Last week the lads of '44 took the
starch out of their upperclass varsity
brothers in the fall pentathlon com-
petition with' plenty of points to
spare. This time the sophomores.
trimmed their varsity mates in the
annual treasure hunt and cross-
country run yesterday afternoon at
the Arboretum.
Upperclassmen Badly Beaten.
It was the combination of flying
feet and quick thinking that proved
too much for the juniors and seniors.
John Purdue and Jim O'Malley, bat-
tling for a lost cause, came through
to take first and second place and
save the upperclass team from aN
worse beating.
Figuring points on the basis of one,
for the first man, two for the second
to finish, etc., the sophomores scored
64 to 71 for the losers. Jim Davidson
led the winning team home over the
course of three and one-half miles.
Sample Clues
Here's a sample of the clues given
each contestant: "It's red, made of

metal; even Thor could not exhaust
its source.' Look in the center of
things." This was the red fire hy-
drant in the middle of the Arboretum.
Another sample: "It's made of con-
crete and wood and is used for sitting,
resting, looking and 'other things.'
Go east and south." This was the
famous Arboretum bench.
N The sharp-thinking sophomores
.had little trouble in deciphering these
clues and reaching their objectives
where they were given another clue,
and so on until the treasure-a home-
made pumpkin pie-was reached. As
a consolation, all contestants received
passes to the Michigan theater,
