4% THE MICHIGAN DAILY Kuzma, Wolverines Ready For Wildcats Michigan Will BeAtFull Strength For First Time (-9_ With Tom Kuzma back in the line- up, homecoming fans will see un-J Aveiled for the first time tomorrow a team which may surpass any eleven that Fritz Crisler has ever coached,] including those three great teams of the Harmon era. Already having shown their power without him, the Wolverines will at long last have the services of their injured star of last year to bring them up to maximum strength. Kuzma, who has missed every game so far this season because of a- knee injury, is now evidently fully recovered and will in all likelihood start 'against the Wildcats. Even should Crisler decide to hold him out at the kickoff Kuzma will definitely see action, probably as long as the game hangs in the bal- ance. Purple Lacks Reserves Last week the Varsity lost to the Iowa Seahawks 26 to 14 and behind the defeat lay two causes: first of all, the wearing down of the Maize and Blue iron-men by a team rich in re- serves and secondly, the absence of a runner powerful enough to supple- ment the speed and deception of the other backs. Thefirst cause will be largely elim- inated this Saturday inasmuch as Northwestern, although it has a fine I SUITS O'COATS1 TOPCOATS FAIL f Bill Pritula, fast moving Wolver- irie tackle, will be out there tomor- row making a lot of Wildcat fur fly. team, has neither the depth nor the brilliant starting line boasted by the Seahawks. The elimination of the second cause depends upon just how good Kuzma will be in his first start of the year. Should the Wolverine line live up to expectatinns and if Kuzma is as good as he was last year, Saturday may well see the debut of a 'dream' team in every sense of the word.

Meanwhile, speculation over the starting Wolverine backfield was les- sened yesterday as Kuzma, Capt. Cei- thaml, Bob Wiese, and Paul White played in the first-string backfield this providing a tip-off that they will be the starters.

That's the consensus of Gopher football fans who, used to National and Big Ten championships, had something new today to think about -a two game losing streak. Fans who have followed the Goph- ers year after year feel Minnesota gained prestige in holding Bernie Bierman's Seahawks to a 7-6 victory. The Gopher players gave everything they had in that game, and fans feel that was a big factor in Illinois' 20-13 upset victory over Minnesota last week. Minnesota was still "down" mentally against the Illini, after dropping the heartbreaker to Bernie, their former coach. But there's been a new spirit and dash in Gopher practices this week, a spirit that was missing before the Illinois game, and there's a feeling Minnesota/will be back on the victory trail soon. Bill Garnaas, regular quarterback, who was injured in the Pitt game which Minnesota won 50 to 7, still is favoring a sore knee and probably will not start against the Cornhusk- ers. ** * EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 16.- (P)- After stressing pass defense and de- claring, "We have improved a lot since the Purdue game," Coach Lynn Waldorf today picked a squad of 34 Northwestern players to make the trip for the Michigan game tomor- row. Waldorf also went to work today grooming the first team backfield's running and passing plays. The squad will leave for Dearborn, Mich., today for a workout, leaving for Ann Arbor at noon tomorrow. * * ~* COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 16.-(IP)-The Big Ten's leading scorer, Gene Fekete of Ohio State, showed up today with a foot infection, but Coach Paul E. Brown said he thought the fullback would be able to play against Purdue tomorrow.I "However, I don't know how goodI his condition will be," Brown remark- ed. News From BENCUCOMBEB By BUD HENDEL Daily Sports Editor * * * * Evanston.. . (Eddie Salkowe, sports editor of the Northwestern Daily News, and I exchanged columns today, the day before the Michigan-Northwestern game. Guest columnist Salkowe's analytical column appears below.) AFTER the Purdue debaucle last week Northwestern has more than one incentive to win against Michigan Saturday. First, the Wildcats have a score to settle for two consecutive defeats handed us by the Wolverines. And the fact that we tied in '38 but haven't-won since '37 makes Pappy Waldorf's squad all the more anxious for game time to roll around. That 7-6 beating we took from an inspired Purdue team in our Big Ten opener hurt a lot more than the recent Michigan losses we've taken. Northwestern expected to win by a couple of touchdowns against the Boiler- makers, especially after tripping Texas, but a poor first half found us one point short at the finish.3 Naturally Northwestern is mad, mostly at itself for adopting a not too cautious attitude last week. Things have changed now, though. It's no secret that the team has worked hard this week this week to get back to a level where they're ready for a Michigan team that we've been warned is "better than their '41 team." OTTO GRAHAM, who had maintained about a .600 passing average in the first two games, didn't have much luck against Purdue. He was con- stantly overshooting his receiver, who on two occasions was in the clear and ahead of every Purdue man. He didn't receive bad protection either, so all we can say is that Otto had a bad day-in the air. On the ground Graham did gain 110 yards and went over for our lone touchdown. OUR LINE is good. Ends Bob Motl and Bud Hasse are well known to Michigan, for they've been catching passes all over the Conference for more than two seasons. Tackles are Warren Karistad and Ray Vin- cent, both 220-pounders, with Tony Samarzia and Bob Carlson in re- serve. Alex Kapter and Capt. Nick Burke are a pair of tough guards, and John Gent is no slouch as Burke's replacement. Center Hal Hudson, playing his first season as a regular, is living up to Northwestern's reputation for pro- ducing steady centers. He was outstanding on defense against Purdue. ALL WELL and good, you say, but have we forgotten that Michigan is also on the rebound after losing to the Seahawks? No, we haven't forgotten, and that's why this game is going to be a toss-up, just like practically every Northwestern-Michigan game has been for the last decade. We've heard of Ceithaml and Wistert, in fact we've seen a lot of them. And, having read of the fine sophomore backs you have, like Chappuis, Lund and Wardley, we respect Michigan as one of the best teams in the nation. So far this season we've been a second half team. This week we hope to play two halves of good football and then see what the score- board reads. One thing is certain-Northwestern is anything but over- confident about Michigan. Northwestern is mad and determined, though, and using this as a basis for a prediction in an almost unpredictable season, we'll take Northwestern by 20 to 13.

This year is no exception in the case of quarterback. Carrying on in this role is Captain George Ceithaml. When Forrest Evashevski left the Wolverine grid machine, it was thought that Michigan fans would wait many a decade before they would see a quarterback that would ap- proach the ability of "Evie." Makes Fans Forget But Cy, as he is known to everyone, is making them wonder. Last year he took over and soon made the fans forget the loss of Evashevski as he helped the squad garner six victories. But this season Capt. George is great. Throwing slashing blocks at would- be tackers, he has cleared the road for more-than one Wolverine jaunt to pay dirt. When George plays football, he really plays for keeps. It is because he loves to play and also because he hates to lose that Cy keeps right on plugging along no matter what odds he faces. As the brains behind the Maize and Blue attack, Crisler piles a lot of re- sponsibility on the broad shoulders of his field general. Planning the games, which adds up to only one minute rest. That came in the Michi- gan State tussle when Coach Crisler sent Bob Vernier in for the last 60 seconds. The Wolverine captain leads all Michigan players for endurance this year but several others have seen a lot of action. Bill Pritula is the second most overworked player as he has put in 175 minutes at the guard and cen- ter spots. Bill is followed by big Al Wistert with 172 minutes of playing time. Cy is truly a ball player's ball play- er. The squad workhorse, he never misses a practice and is always urging his teammates on whether it is in practice or on Saturday afternoon. The former Chicago boy takes foot- ball as seriously as one person can. He keeps himself in top condition for the week-end tangles with hard work. One Ambition George has one ambition to realize before he completes his athletic ca- reer at Michigan. And that must be done October 24 when he leads the Wolverines against Minnesota. He has never seen the Golden Gophers beaten yet-no player on the Michi- gan team has-and Cy is planning on this being the year. At least he is al- most certain of seeing plenty of the big Norsemen that week-end as once again he will probably again play 60 minutes. It calls for superman stam- ina to keep dishing it out against the foe for one solid hour, but George has shown that he can do it. We're inclined to agree with him, that this is the year to down the Gophers. STUDENTS WANTED! Whether they be round, flat or square headed - for that individualistic, popular "CREW-CUT".
