PAGE FO THE MICHIGAN DAILY 'T E ', O CT. 13, 1942 Ohio State Gains Top In National Ranking; Michigan Third < Frosh Football Squad To Play OSU Yearlings Big Ten Ban On Freshman Competition Lifted For Duration By Officials Just a little smile from transporta- tion authorities and the freshman grid teams of Michigan and Ohio State will preview the annual varsity clash between the two schools with a little grudge battle all their own. The game-has been definitely slated for November 20 at Columbus and only difficulties in obtaining trans- portation for the Wolverines can pre- vent the renewal of freshman hostili- ties between the traditional rivals. Last Game In 1905 It was no less than 37 years ago in 1905 that the Michigan frosh played their final schedule against outside teams. That fall they played such ag- gregations as the varsities of Michi- gan Normal, Albion, Michigan Aggies and Kalamazoo and emerged with a pretty fair record. In 1906 the West- ern Conference passed its ruling pro- hibiting freshmen from competing against outside competition. In view of the war situation, however, the Big Ten heads relented this spring and altered their ancient ruling to permit Big Ten freshman grid teams to play a maximum of three contests a fall for the duration. Meanwhile, in preparation for the Buckeye fracas and scrimmages against the varsity, Coach Wally Weber has been giving his squad some stiff workouts. Running through sim- ple plays has provided the action in lengthy sessions with the emphasis on individual assignments. maks Look Good Among the backs tailbacks Dick Walterhouse, Ann Arbor High star of last year, and Bob Nussbaumer have impressed the cub mentor. Others who are good backfield prospects are signal-caller Ervin Derda, blocking- back Hugh Mack and William Culli- gan, who is being groomed for either a wngback or tailback. On the forward wall Wally seems to have a bunch of good-looking prospects. Frank Kern has shown promise at the pivot post and George Kraeger and Kurt Kampe are a pair, of good mates for him at the guard spots. At tackle both Elmer Phillips' and Jack Emmerick have given good accounts of themselves while Lehman Beardsley has been playing well at end. 41N Undying Spirit, Perseverence Pay Off ForVarsity Gridder By BART JENKS A couple of weeks ago a Wolverine lineman went charging in to get thel runner; body met body and the Wol- verine found himself lying on his back. But he didn't let that burly Great Lakes blocker daunt him and went on to establish himself as one of the stars in Michigan's brilliant upset victory. A week later he continued his fine play against Michigan State and turned in what was perhaps the finest defensive play of the game when he dived over a would-be Spartan block- er to haul down the ball-carrier be- hind the line of scrimmage. This last Saturday his great play, moved Seahawk coach Bernie Bier- man to name him as the outstanding player on the field. If you haven't yet guessed his name it is Elmer Madar and its owner can boast one of the most phenomenal rises in recent Wol- verine history. Track Star In High School At Northeastern high school in De- troit Madar was better known as the captain of the track team than as a halfback on the football team. The highest honor he receivedwas a nom- ination to the third all-city team. As a freshman and sophomore in the University Madar continued his football at the halfback posts but with such backs as Tom Harmon, Paul Kromer, Davey Nelson, and Tip- py Lockard to handle those positions he saw only a couple of minutes of play during the whole season. In ad- dition he was bothered by a sprained ankle early in the season which slow- ed him up for the rest of the season. Moved to quarterback last year Madar again found the combination of star backs and an injury too much for him. First a fractured shoulder kept him out of the early games and when he returned it was only to watch iron-man George Ceithaml pi- lot the Wolverines very capably. This year, ,howover, Madar has really come into his own. With the loss by graduation of both regular ends Coach Crisler had a problem which had to be solved ,if Michigan was to have a first-rate team this year. Phil Sharpe, who saw consider- able action last year, was the answer to one of the wings but the other was wide open. Although he weighs a mere 170 pounds, orte of the lightest weights for an end in Michigani history, Ma- dar by his hard, heads-up play proved himself during spring practice and went on to win the position this fall. Has Plenty Of Fight Last Saturday the ability to take it and come back, plus a fighting heart payed off their greatest dividends yet as Madar caught a touchdown pass as well as three other passes, and on defense generally made himself a thorn in the Seahawk side. Despite a terrific bruising given him by the huge Seahawks Madar was still in there after 57 minutes and was taken out only after the game was hope- lessly lost. In fact, in the three games thus far Madar has played all but about fifteen minutes. With everyone praising Madar as a player who proved through perse- verance and indomitable courage that it doesn't take weight and brawn to make a success at football, it looks as, if Crisler has found the man to com- plete an already great line. Georgia Ranks Second Behind Buckeye Team Service Elevens Excluded; Surprise Illinois Squad Takes Over Fifth Spot NEW YORK, Oct. 12.- (P)- Ohio State, coached again by Paul Brown who is only two years away from tu- toring a high school eleven, has thet best college football team in the opin- ion of 91 sports writers throughoutI the United States. The Buckeyes, undefeated in three starts, top second place Georgia by 142 votes in the Associated Press' first weekly rating of the present sea- son. Although Minnesota, which won1 first place in the final polls of both 1940 and 1941, yielded its lofty posi- tion and skidded to fourteenth place, the Big Ten Conference dominates] with the Ohioans and three other en- tries among the first ten. Michigan, which has lost only toF the Iowa Seapawks of Lieut. Col. Bernie Bierman, is third with the sur- prising Illinois club fifth and Wiscon-I sin seventh. Service Teams Ineligible Bierman coached Minnesota during its reign but his Seahawks and the football teams representing the other various military camps are not eligi- ble to participate in this ranking, which is restricted to collegiate elev- ens only. The service aggregations, spotted1 with former pros and All-Americas, have mastered a major portion of their collegiate rivals, the four pre- flight schools of the navy setup hav- ing yet to lose an encounter to a school, outfit. Ohio State, with victories over Fort Knox, Indiana and Southern Cali- fornia, drew 25 first place votes, 20 second place tallies and enough con- sideration in the lesser positions for 636 votes. Each first place ballot was 10 votes, each second nine, etc. The Buckeyes grabbed fifteenth place in the final ranking of 1941, their first under thentutelage of SBrown who built an enviable reputa- tion as coach of the Massillon, Ohio, 1 High School before going to Colum- bus. t Georgia Looks Good r Georgia, with All-America Frankie Sinkwich hobbled by injuries, still has been good enough to subdue four opponents, squeezing by Kentucky, 1 7 to 6, in the opener and then meas- - uring Jacksonville Naval Air Station, Furman and Mississippi University. The Bulldogs, one of the favorites for the Southeastern Conference title, drew 12 first place designations, 13 for second, nine for third and 15 for fourth. Their total vote was 494. Michigan also collected 12 first place tallies and 418 votes for third while Alabama, which is expected to dispute Georgia's right to the Dixie honors was fourth with 10 and 356. FIRST TEN Gridmen Rest After Defeat By Seahawks Pregulman, Robinson Are1 Slightly Injured; Kuzma Will Probably Play Well pleased with the Varsity grid- ders' showing against the Iowa Naval Pre-Flight outfit, Coach Crisler yes- terday devoted the afternoon to show- ing pictures of the game and putting his reserves through a light workout. The first stringers were rewarded with a rest from physical exercise. No Major Injuries The gridders not only gave a good account of themselves on the field but they added to Crisler's joy by coming through the contest almost unscathed. Only Merv Pregulman with a slightly bruised side and Don Robinson with a charley-horse have anything approaching injuries and both are expected to see action against Northwestern next Saturday. Good news also to Wolverine fans is the fact that Tom Kuzma will al- most certainly play for the first time this season. If the Gary flash is even a shadow of his last year's self, a good duel is in prospect between him and the Wildcat's brilliant Otto Graham. The Wildcats, twice beaten this year, are anxious to get back on the victory trail and promise to make this, the fiftieth anniversary of Michigan-Northwestern football com- petition, a full afternoon for Crisler's men. Tough Schedule Ahead But when the Varsity begins prac- tice in earnest tomorrow it won't be just for the game Saturday. That is only the beginning of Crisler's wor- ries. On' succeeding week-ends the Wolverines will meet such teams as Minnesota,:Illinois, Harvard, and the Irish of Notre Dame. Then to top a tough schedule off will be the games with Ohio State, currently number one in the national rankings, and with Iowa. But Crisler's charges'aren't letting that daunt them; there is a game to' win next Saturday and that must come before all else. Thurman Arnold Investigation Is Requested By AFL Members By The Associated' Press TORONTO, Ont., Oct. 12.- The American Federation of Labor asked today for an investigation of Thur- man Arnold, U.S. anti-trust chief, to determine whether he has used the prestige of his job for personal mater- ial gain, signalled a fresh attack upon the National Labor Relations Board, and offered an immediate armistice to the CIO pending negotiations for full reunion, The report on Arnold, headed "La- bor and the Anti-Trust Drive," con- curred in and supplemented the exec- utive council's annual report on that topic. Both accused Arnold of starting a destructive anti-labor campaign three years ago. A series of Supreme Court decisions, the committee said, "flatly repudiated" Arnold's "attemp- ted distortions of law." The best known of Arnold's suits was the Hutcheson case, which grew out of a strike by the AFL carpenters 22 Axis Bombers Shot Down During Attacks On Malta VALLETTA, Malta, Oct. 12.-(P)- The British defenders of Malta es- tablished a new daylight record today as they shot down 22 Axis bombers and ten fighters in slashing blows against new large-scale air attacks, described as the heaviest in months. Fighters and anti-aircraft guns of the island stronghold previously had destroyed 24 planes during 24 hours, but never before during three years of attacks had they shot down 22 during a single daylight period. Today's brilliant performance fol- lowed- heavy attacks. -yesterday in which at least 15 raiders were de- stroyed. and it made a two-day total of 37-Axis planes knocked into the sea. This brougt to more, than 1,000 the total Axis losses over 'Malta, which has had more than 3,000 alerts since the start 'of the war. 'The renewed heavy attacks came after a long lull in which-only small formations of Axis planes had car- ried on intermittent attacks, mainly of nuisance value. union. The Court decided Arnold had no anti-trust case because he failed to show collusion with a second em- ployer. After that decision, said the com- mittee, organized labor believed Ar- nold's "uncalled for eruption had been effectively and authoritatively quieted." Instead, the report added, events proved Arnold was far more interested in the impression he made upon the press than upon the Su- preme Court. The delegates whooped and clapped again when Daniel J. Tobin, president of the teamsters, read a telegram from President James C. Petrillo, president of the musicians union, in- forming him that a federal court in Chicago had dismissed Arnold's civil anti-trust action against the musi- cians. The committee recommended that U.S. Attorney General Francis Biddle be requested to investigate and de- termine whether Arnold "has exploit- ed the prestige of his public office for his own material and financial gain." President Roosevelt is to be advised of the report on Arnold. In New York City, Attorney Gen- eral Biddle, informed of the AFL con- vention's action, said: "I don't see why they want to investigate Mr. Ar- nold, who is simply doing his duty. However, I'd be glad to hold an inves- tigation-it would show what an effi- cient public official Mr. Arnold is." Dispute Continues At Cartridge Plant A.,TON, Ill., Oct. 12.--(P)-A con- ference between union leaders and War Labor Board conciliators ended in no decision tonight in the un- authorized strike of AFL Molders and Foundry Workers at the Western Cartridge Company's huge East Alton Plant, even as President William Grepn of the AFL curtly ordered the strikers to return to work immedi- ately: Following the session with 30 union men,R l.

Badgers Map Strategy MADISON, Wis., Oct, 12.- (P)- Wisconsin's undefeated Badgers rest- ed today as Harry Stuhldreher and his coaching staff mapped strategy for the Great Lakes game Saturday at Soldiers Field, Chicago. The squad came .through the Mis- souri tussle in fairly good shape and trainers, said Pat Harder and Elroy Hirsch, ace backs, would be in good physical condition this week-end. Harder's foot injury was aggravated and Hirsch suffered a bruised knee in the Tiger tilt. Step up your Snapshooting Skill. with these I.i:Nld: ". Tough Schedule Faces NU EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 12.- (P)- Concentrating on development of a sustained attack, Northwestern today began preparations for meeting Mich- igan, Ohio State and Minnesota in succession. Otto Graham, halfback, and Ed Hirsch, fullback, who have thus far carried the brunt of offensive play because of injuries and illness of their understudies,.will be relieved of their 60-minute jobs against Michigan Sat- urday. Joe Scriba, shifty sophomore halfback, from Owosso, Mich., will be ready for action following a shoul- der injury. Return of Casey Peifer and Laurie Adelman after a siege of flu will bolster the fullback position * * * Seahawks Practice IOWA CITY, Iowa, Oct. 12.- (P)- Everything was calm on the Iowa Seahawk football front today as Lt Col. Bernie Bierman gave his Navy gridders a quiet day of practice fol- lowing their fourth road trip in as many weeks. Coming out of the Michigan game with no serious injuries, the Sea- hawks should be at full strength Sat- urday when they meet another tough customer-Notre Dame. , Brown Has Problems COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 12.- (;P)- Those twin bugaboos of Ohio State's football team-punting and the left end spot-plagued "Worry'n" Paul Brown again today. Further, he worried about the schedule which pits his Bucks Satur- day against Purdue, fresh from ar upset victory over Northwestern. "They'll have a real head of stear by the time they get to us," he said. What Brown is looking for immed- iately is a sound left end and a kicker who can boot that ball 40 to 50 yards under game conditions. Hauser Makes Changes MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 12.- ()- Coach George Hauser sent his Min- nesota football squad through a work. out outside today, instead of giving the first team the customary Monday rest, and made several lineup changes as an aftermath of Saturday's loss tc Illinois. Halfback Bill Daley, big gun in the Gopher attack, was not in uniform. He spent the day undergoing treat- ment for a bruised back. Trainers said his injury did not appear serious, however.
