I THE MICHIGAN DAILY olverines Ring Down Curtain Against Buckeyes Varsity Favored To Win Over Once-Beaten OSU Invaders Discard Famed Razzle-Dazzle For Straight Football Under Brown , ._. m I (Continued from Page 1) Cunningham are the seniors who will be' making their final appearance in a Michigan uniform. Two more se- niors must be added to the list, Joe Rogers, whose gridiron career came to an abrupt end as a result of a spin- al injury incurred in the Gopher tilt, and Norm Call, whose pre-season in- jury has iept him out of action all year. The members of the betting gentry who make their living from these grid battles have established the home team as a 2-1 favorite over the Col- umbus invaders, despite the fact that both outfits show identical won and lost records. Impressive Records So far this season the Wolverines have trampled Michigan State, Iowa, Pitt, Northwestern, Illinois and Col- umbia. Ohio tate can point to vic- tories over Missouri, Southern Cali- fornia, Purdue, Pitt, Wisconsin, Illi- nois, while their lone defeat was sus-t,' tained at the hands of Northwestern. When Paul Brown leads ?the Buck- eyes onto the field today, it will mark I his first appearance in Ann Arbor at the helm of the Scarlet and Gray. The Buckeye mentor, taken from the high school, ranks, has turned in an im- pressivg performance since the time, he too over the reins of the dis- sension-ridden Scarlet band last spring. The 32 year old coach has dis- carded all of the 'razzle-dazzle that formerly marked Ohio State teams under the tutelage of Francis Schmidt; and has turned to funda- mentals to bring the Columbus aggre- gation back to the football peaks. Ac- cordingly, the huge crowni which will jam the mammoth Stadium will beI treated to the sight of an Ohio State team relying on power and straight football instead of the deception and galaxy of lateral passes that haveso long been associated with the Bucks., Uraf And Fisher Lead Bucks The invaders will base their run- ning attack on the strong' legs of fullback Jack Graf and halfback Dick Fisher, operating from both the single! and double wingback formations.! Graf will be unable to handle the punting chores because of a knee in- jury, however, and Fisher will do the booting for the Ohio State crew.N Both lines average.200 pounds with (Cophers, Dike Risk Records Irish Face Southern Cal; Wildcats Meet Illinois ' NEW YORK, Nov. 21. --A'}- Col- lege fooaball nears the end of its 1941 trail tomorrow with a nation-wide schedule that is not long but one thatI is packed with possibilities.

Munn! Munn!'" -The above is a direct quote from Bob Ingalls, who tries to bait Line Coach Clarence (Biggie) :)Munn with it every now and again during prac- tice sessions. And everybody laughs at Clarence and is very jolly, and Biggie laughs too and in fact more than anyone,' because what Ingalls has uttered in such a joking man- ..er is nothing but the truth. Astounding Athletic History A goodly percentage of the stu- dentry are no doubt aware that Clar- ence Munn is the gent who each fall fashions one of the better forward walls in the nation as his contribu- tion to Wolverine grid fortunes But few indeed are familiar with the as- tounding athletic history of the man.' Biggie Munn is shaped more or less along cubical lines and concentrates 225 pounds on a five foot eight inch frame. He looks like a slow moving cookie on sight. But one day last year Ralph Fritz and Milo Sukup were horsing around a bit tog much in practice and Munn hopped in at defensive guard and told them to drive him out of the next play. It was awful what he did to those two All-Conference guards. Biggie was across the line almost before the DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN ball left the center's hands, Fritz was sprawled on the turf and Sukie had a did-you-get-his-licensenumber look in his eyes. Biggie Mu n moves fast. Which qombination of speed and tonnage is without doubt the reason why he was All-Conference guard from Minnesota in both 1930 and 1931. In 1931 Munn was captain of his team, an unanimous All-American, choice and was presented with the Chicago Tribune Award, which is annually given to the most valuable player in the Big Ten. Dwell a bit on this last fact, friends. Linemen never win the Chi- cago Tribune Award. Only star backs like Jay Berwanger 'and Nile Kinnick and Tommy Harmon do. Never linemen. But Biggie Munn got it in 1931 and he played guard. Didn't Just Play Guard Maybe it's becausehe didn't just play guard. At one time or another in college he played every position but end, center and quarterback. And he was always pulled out of the line to do the team's punting. Long, high 60 yard skyscrapers he used to boom out and still does on occasion., Nor was Clarenci Munn just a one sport man. At innesota he was also All-Conference shot put champ, Today Bob Ingalls may chant again for the last time, "And 80,000 fans cried out: 'Munn! Munn! Munn!'" And Biggie Munn will laugh again. Bucks Boast Star Booter By BOB STAHL ' , It may be a very good thing that' Michigan'sbgrid coach, Fritz Crisler, has at last developed a superior place- kicker in Bill Melzow, for this after- noon the Wolverines may need those points-after-touchdown. The Buck- eyes have come up with a boy pos- sessing a toe educated to a very high degree in the difficult art of kicking a pigskin between the goal posts, said boy being a sophomore end by the name of Leon Schoenbaum. Getting his first real break when he was advanced to the first team to take the place of Charley Anderson, whom Coach Paul Brown had dis- missed from the squad for an in- fraction of training rules, Schoen- baum quickly proved himself to be quite a capableend. He is a very good pa~s receiver, and his speed en- ables him to get down the field very fast under punts to get in those tack- les which are so necessary to the de- fensive play of a good end. Still lacking some in experience, Schoenbaum's defensive play is rug- ged, if not polished, but he has proved that he learns very fast from experience, and he has improved to such an extent over his early-sea- son play that grid experts have, pre- dicted he will be as good as Charley Anderson, who was reputedly one of the best ends in the Conference. But the attribute which makes Schoenbaum the scourge of every The 32-year-old coach had every right to be nervous, perhaps a bit irritable, in this situation. Certainly he was anxious to see that his charges received every benefit to be derived from last minute instruc- tions. Certainly he must have been on edge facing the biggest assign- ment of his young, yet incredibly successful, coaching career. But he still found time to treat the assembled strangers with the utmost cordi- I ality.I "OUR BOYS PLAY TO WIN." Coach Brown grinned, "but they also play for the fun they get out of it." Nor was this just talk. It was borne out in full by 35 enthusiastic Buckeyes who laughed and shouted and kidded as if they hadn't a care in the world. These weren't boys worrying about their participation in the nation's number 'one football game before the country's largest crowd. They were just big, husky lads having a heck of a good time. Spicing his words with typical collegiate expressions, Brown dis- coursed at random, dwelling on whtever subjects his listeners desired "My biggest problem on arriving at OSU," Brown guessed, "was changing the boys idea of a workable offense . . . when I arrived they didn't think a play had a chance of succeeding unless it changed hands at least four times . . . we played Missouri in the opener with only 16 plays, four passes and a punt in our play selection . . . but we beat their brains out on pure fundamen.tals and power and won, 12-7, making 14 first downs to their eight." "COURSE, WE'VE ADDED a lot since then," the affable mentor continued, "but we still rely on perfect execution rather than haphazard deception we average about four to ten passes per game, I guess . . . we're pretty thin in a lot of spots, too, as you'll see tomorrow . . . really we're not as good as our record shows . . . we just skinned by Pitt . . . caught 'em fore they busted loose, I guess . . . 'n Illinois nearly beat us too . . . I'm not kidding, as you'll see tomorrow . . . we've gone a long ways on attitude and pure fight . . . I've got a great bunch of kids, though, high-spirited and clean." I There was lots more, too. Intimate stuff about Illinois, the susien- sion of Charley Anderson, Western Conference coaching, etc....but most of it was prefaced with the request that it be kept off the record. So it will be. BY THIS TIME, observers were beginning to feel just a little bit sorry for those undermanned Ohio Staters. But just then, 35 perfectly sount, healthy reasons why Michigan should not be heavily favored, charged into the runway, ending the interview. They weren't the least bit worried. May- , be they don't read the newspapers. li III amazing ability to place-kick. The long, lanky end usually does the kicking-off, always putting the ball out-of-bounds or into the end zone. So far this year, Schoenbaum has tried 22 placekicks for the point- after-touchdown and has made 11 of them. This does not give a true in- dication of the sophomore's ability, however, for several of his kicks were blocked, which was obviously not his fault, and twice he had to kick over because Ohio State was offside on the play.
