Lockard May Fulfill Ambitlion To Beat Brown-Coached Team * Tirade From Columbus The following comes out of Colum- bus, Ohio, home of the scarlet and gray clad Buckeyes of Mr. Paul Brown. It is, we think, deserving of mention as an example of particu- larly astute and clever journalism. Under a two-column picture in a Columbus paper of a ticket for thel coming Ohio State-Michigan football game, there appeared these well chosen words: "Very 1 touching, isn't it, this Michigan reverence for Tom Har- mon? Yes, even Ohio State fans will admit he was quite a football player. After all, he connected "for three touchdowns and a 22-point total in the long-lamented 40-0 rout in the Stadium' last year. But putting his picture on the Ohio State-Michigan game tickets may be carrying the tribute sentiment too far. Just what reaction this will have on the Buckeye team isn't readily gauged but may wll be sus- pected. After all, seven seniors will be in the starting lineup at Ann Ar- bor Saturday aid if you think they don't remember with bitterness the humiliation of last November, you're way "off the beam." They'll never quite forget it-and, of r course, Harmon was the whole show on that day. Yes it could be con- sidered a flaunt at the Bucks, ink- ing "old 98" on the tickets. And it could backfire. Every Buckeye fan would like to hear that kind of ex- plosion anyway." This tirade, we want you to under- stand, was not printed in the Ohio State Lantern, the official organ of student opini6n at the Buckeye school. Those wild college kids had a little more sense than to pull a s stunt like that. It remained for a so- called "professional" newspaper to come through with such a magnifi- cent lemon. Michigan students will, of "course, Immediately realize the error. Har- mon's picture, - as everyone here knows, was on all the tickets for 1941 Michigan home games, whether with Ohio State, Pitt, Minnesota, Iowa or Michigan State. None of the other Michigan op- ponents saw fit to raise a fuss over the portrait of the Hoosier Hammer which adorns the local ducats. And, when you think it over, some of them might have found ample rea- son, at least as ample as that which the Columus sheet worked up. After all, Harmon helped to beat the Spartans from East Lansing for three consecutive years. Twoyears ago, he beat Iowa single-handedly, tallying 27 points. Of course, Michi- gan never played Pittsburgh before so the Panthers couldn't think anyone was trying to remind them of former defeats. But, still, the Smoky City lads could have worked on this thing from an- other angle. After .all, didn't they have af boy named Marshall Goldberg on their squad a few years back who was pretty much of a football player himself? "You're just trying to rub it in that Harmon was a greater back than Goldberg!" they might have screamed, rising up in righteous fury. "And to get even, we're going to lick your brains out next Satur- day., As a matter of fact, we're a little surprised that they didn't get burned up. It certainly would have been the logical thing to do. Or don't you think so? Then, there is always the 1940, or Yost, angle on this situation. A pic- ture of Michigan's Grand Old Man adorned the Michigan home paste- boards a year back. When you think about it, that was a pretty ticklish sit- uation. Luckily, the Wolverines came through the season without any open breaks with ancient athletic rivals. Just think of the tremendous possi- bilities. For instance, Michigan open- ed against California in '40. The game was played at Berkeley so the Golden Bears provided the tickets. But, even so, they might have said, "What in hell's the idea here? Pretty smart, aren't you? Thought we wouldn't find out about those home game tickets, eh? Just trying to re- mid us that the first Michigan team Yost ever coached beat Stanford, 49-0, in the Rose Bowl. It's an insult to PacifichCoast football and we don't intend to stand for it. .The game is off." Michigan would have pleaded with the California athletic author- ities. "We're sorry. We didn't mean nothin' by it," they might have said. But the usually level-headed gentlemen from the San Francisco Bay area would certainly have been adamant. "Nope," they would have said, curt- ly, "the damage is done. There will be no Michigan-California game this year: It won't do any good to snivel about it. Michigan and California are through." And that would have been that. At any rate, here's the way we size things up. Ohio State may beal Michigan this Saturday. Personally we doubt it. But, if they do, we sincerely hope that their inspiratior will come from something besides the contemplation of Tom Harmon's ma on the tickets. If they can get worke up over that, as the Columbus shee claims they are, they must indeed b the misguided fellows that some peo ple would have us believe all foot. ball players are. INTRAMURAL NOTICE The Sports Building will be open today from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The swimming pool will be open from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. -Intramural Department Michigan's once-beaten gridders will be shooting for their fpurth4 straight victory over Ohio State this Saturday and also will be attempting to keep Coach Fritz Crisler's record1 over the Buckeyes intact. . Since the Maize and Blue grid mentor has been coaching here at Ann Arbor, the Buckeyes have not won a game from their long-time rival. Ed Frutig led the way in 1938 as Michigan smashed out an 18-0 victory over the Ohioians and the following year the Wolverines pulled one out of the fire to win 21-14, the winning touchdown coming with but three minutes to play. Last season it was all Tom Harmon and Com- pany as Michigan steamrollered to a 40-0 triumph. This will be the 38th gridiron meeting of the two schools and up to now the Wolverines have had the best of the bargain. They have cap- tured 25 contests and lost 10, while two battles have ended in ties. The Wolverines aren't taking Paul Brown's team lightly because, at the present moment, the Wolverines and the Buckeyes are tied for second place in the Western Conference stand- ings. If Wisconsin should unexpect- edly trip Minnesota, the winner of the Michigan-Ohio State game would move into a tie for the Big Ten title with the Gophers. Crisler put the squad through a light workout yesterday as the first step to tapering off for the final game of the season. The first and second teams went through a length signal drill against the "red shirts" and showed the same old fight and fire that they have showed all year long. By BOB SHOPOFF + When Paul Brown brings his crew ; from Colurbus, Ohio, into Ann Arbor Saturday, it will bring a renewal of hostilities for one member of the Wolverines with Brown-coached teams. For three years, while attending i high school in Canton, Ohio, Tippy Lockard played against Paul Brotwn's squads from Masillon and in those three years Tippy wasralways on the losing team. This year Lockard and the rest of the Michigan squad are planning to reverse the situation by beating Ohio State. Flayed Fullback While in high school, Harold (that's Tip's real name in case you MII te hadn't heard) played a very high brand of ball in the fullback position. In his freshman year at Michigan he was switched to quarterback. When he joined the Varsity, he was moved back to the spot that he occupied in high school. Tippy played as substitute fullback last year until the Illinois game. Again he was changed, this time moving into right halfback. During the pres- ent season he has started every game at half up to the Illinoisgame when a cold kept him out of the game. TIPPY LOCKARD Since then he has been bothered by a injured leg.

By BOB STAHLI In a game which sportswriters have predicted will be replete with many angles figuring in the ultimate out- come, one angle in particular stands out like an umbrella on a sunny day in the gridiron spectacle to be staged on the turf of the Michigan Stadium Saturday between the Wolverines and Ohio State. That one angle in particular is the fact that the game will present Bobby Westfall, the Michigan captain who has been acclaimed as the peer of all fullbacks, pitted against Jack Graf, one of the best fullbacks in the his- tory of the Buckeyes-and the game might turn into a running duel be- tween these two stars. Good Line Plunger Graf, who has won reams of recog- nition in a conference containing such star fullbacks as Westfall, Bill Daley of Minnesota, Pat Harder of Wisconsin, and John Petty of Purdue, is a triple-threat star. In four games this year, he has carried the ball 64 times for a net gain of 304 yards, an average of more than four yards a try, which is plenty all right consider- ing the fact that Graf is a line-bucker who penetrates the opposing forward wall much as does Westfall. But the tall, - handsome Buckeye does not confine his football prowess to the plunging side alone. He is the star punter of the Ohio State team with an average of over 35 yards per kick, and he has passed nine times this season with a net gain of 116 yards, two of his passes being good for touchdowns. According to his coaches, moreover, Graf's greatest contribution to the team is the steadiness which he af- fords the Buckeyes. Always cool under I fire, Graf's timing with his ball hand- ling does much to aid the attack. And, again like Westfall, he can al- ways be counted on to pick up those few important yards necessary for a first down.
