IPT. 26, 1942 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Game Highlights From The C IISS Box. . . . . . . . . . ByIBUD HENDEL Continued From Page 1 Tony Hinkle's assistant in coaching the Great Lakes Giants, dropped in on Fritz Crisler at Ferry Field. The conversation began the usual way, with each trying to feel the other out for information. It was, indeed, a beautiful exhibition of word-parrying. Said Cochrane: "Your boys look pretty good, Fritz." Replied Crisler: "Maybe so, but not good enough for your gang." Retaliated Cochrane: "Why, we don't even have enough time to. practice with all the Navy work our squad must do during the day." Etc. Crisler: "Go on, we don't even consider our season as beginning until after you've mopped up on us." This went on and on, finally terminating with both saying, "We don't belong on the same field with your team." After .which enlightening statement Crisler went out to drive his squad through one of its hardest drills of the fall aiid C'Irwh left for Great Lakes to report to the Sailors tIi., lM ii . loaded with power and speed. Today's tussle was broadcast by none other than Columbias veteran, colorful sports announcer Ted Husing. Tle v'en'rable Husing was down at practice yesterday while the Wulve ines stepped through their final pre-game drill. Out. of nowher a Navy dive-bomber came zooming over the field, whiich prmIpe'd Husing to crack, "That's Bernie Bierman scouting for wa Cadets." Others who aired the tilt were Bob Kelly for W.JH I and Paul Williams for WWJ and Don Watrick for WX i - cidentally, Watrick is the former coach of Wolverine sar Mery Pregulman and tackle Bill Baldwin at Lansing High SchooI. * * * * - A more than interested spectator today was C? : , man, coach of the Michigan State Spartans who will 1.

Two long-time buddies became rivals for the first time today after a Triendship of 25 years. The two are Fritz Crisler and Lieut. Tony Hinkle. coaches of Michigan and Great Lakes, respectively. They first met as undergraduates at the University of Chi- cago in 1917, and they excelled not only in the same sports but at the same positions. Both were star ends on the Maroon foot- ball team, both played guard on the basketball outfit, and in baseball they alternated between pitching and the outfield. Crisler and Lieutenant Hinkle were so inseparable that they became known as the "Gold Dust Twins," mainly because both have dark complexions. The Hinkle-Crisler combination remained intact through their attendance of officer's training school in the last war, and in 1920 they toured Japan together as members of the University of Chicago baseball team. In fact, they even later played on the same professional baseball and semi-pro basketball squads. DisappointingCrowd Aends Michiga s pener Speedy Wolverines' Razzle-Dazzle Offensive Overcomes Great Lakes (Continued from Page 1) Mucha at once kicked out to his own 35.

After another unproductive pass, Wise punted to the Great Lakes 7 where the ball spurted out of bounds.. Schweiger picked up 72 Yards on the first down. A long plunge by Schweiger produced a first down. On their 18, Great Lakes concentrated on line smashes. Schweiger was stop- ped at the 20 yard line.

For an excess of time-outs, Great Two minutes later the game ended in a barrage of futile Great Lakes passes. ENCHCO BE1 ByBUD HENDEi Daily Sports Editor * * * * LAST YEAR a big kid from Gary, Ind., was given the job of filling the departed Tom Harmon's shoes, a job which the big kid did so well that nobody ever questioned that the footwear of the Hoosier Hurricane was just the right size for one Tom Kuzma. This year, the big kid, whom some bright intellect has probably told you by now is nobody else than the aforemer.tioned Tom Kuzma, was entrusted with the job of just keeping his own shoes well-filled. As well-filled, for example, as they were last football season when he made practically every- body but the most rabid Harmonite forget that Tom Harmon ever played for Michigan. So the big kid reported for practice in top shape, knowing full well that he would be the key man in the Wolverine offense. His wind was good, his legs were strong and his heart was just where it should be and full of the right stuff. He "scampered up and down the field during the scrimmage sessions, he pitched flawless strikes into the pass-re- ceiver's waiting arms, he booted the ball high, wide and handsome when- ever the occasion called for a bit of punting. In short, he looked great. BUT THERE'S AN OLD SAYING that all good things come in small pack- ages, and in this case they came in small doses, for the time being at least. As everybody knows now, the big kid spent Wednesday night and all day Thursday in a University Hospital bed. On the last day of the last scrimmage prior to today's tussle with Great Lakes, a scrimmage which took place Wednesday afternoon, Kuzma was winging his way towards paydirt when a tackler caught him and sent him sprawling, resulting in a sprained knee for Gary Ghost II, and the loss of his full services today. Merely to say that Kuzma was disappointed would win the writer the yearly award given by the Understatement Department of the Prevaricator's Society of America. The big kid, in his own words, "was itching to go against those big guys." And to say that Coach Fritz Crisler was disappointed would give understatement number one a tough run for the money in good old UDPSA's annual clambake. The good Master Fritz was sad, mad and just generally unhappy about the whole thing, which still puts it mildly. And who can blame him? His star ball-carrier, passer and kicker, was lost for all practical purposes in the toughest opener that Michigan has ever scheduled. BY NEXT WEEK, the big kid shoul ;e ready. Crisler will smile again, unless some other dependable reports unfit for active duty, and the Wolverine attack will be set to roll. s1-' s Sec'y "Stmson Cancels Conn- Louis Contest WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 -(AP)- War department officials, who would riot be quoted by name, promised to- day that consideration would be giv- en the offer of Joe Louis and Billy Conn to go through with their heavy- weight title fight without pay of any kind. Little optimism was apparent, how- ever, that Secretary of War Stimson was likely to alter yesterday's deci- sion cancelling the. proposed October 12 fight with the explanation it would conflict with "the standards and in- terests of the army." The latest proposal to fight en- tirely for the benefit of the Army Relief Fund must be in a definite, written form before being submitted to Stimson for asdecision, it was in- dicated. The proposed return match of one of the most spectacular heavyweight title tussles of recent years was wiped off the calendar with $300,000 worth of tickets already sold or ordered. ecoin 3ernoccl Starting Sunday Sept., 27th ; ^' ;: ----" -.___ = --- -... ---*-. i Sr4lttit t3 ttlt t'.t It's Football Time at MICHIGAN Follow the MICHIGAN Team through the season by subscribing now to The Daily's FOOTBALL SPECIAL. in USED BOK Or NEW If You Prf er Every Book for Every Course TUDENT SUPPLIES f $200 to have The Daily mailed to your home throughout the football season.
