THE MICHIGAN DAILY 2--r PAGE THEI Michigan,_Northwestern Meet In Homecoming w q Conference Opener For Wolverines, Will Feature Kuzma, Graham Duel i (Continued from Page 1) undefeated Conference campaign, and all Wolverine energy and effort bent to that end, Michigan will meet fire with fire in the huge Stadium today. Pinning their hopes on the rock- ribbed forward wall which has well- earned its nickname of the "Seven Oak Posts," the Wolverines will enter, the fray at full strength for the first, time this season. They've humbled. two foes, Great Lakes'and Michigan State, and they've fought a terrific but losing battle against what is probably the greatest team in the nation, the Iowa Seahawks, without the services of their four-star triple threat halfback, Tom Kuzma, the thunderbolt from Gary who was be- ing touted as an All-American before the season started. Kuzma Ready To Play And today the battering Kuzma is ready. He hasn't seen a moment's action this year, a year which was expected to be a sensational one for his piston-pounding legs and accur- ate right arm,*and he'll make his de- but as a junior against the snarling Wildcats. With Kuzma back in the lineup, the Michigan machine is geared to its highest ratio of power and speed, and it's this power and speed, coupled with the same fight. that has been present in every Wol- verine tilt this season, that will at- tempt to turn back the frenzied Wild- cats. To offset Kuzma, Northwestern has its own stellar backfield star, Otto PLEGE. BUTTONS ast Call Burr, Patterson &AuId.Co America's' Oldest Fraternity, Jewelers ference choice last year, and Bud Hasse will give the Wildcats two standout ends for Michigan to tie down, while in Ray Vincent and War- ren Karlstad, Northwestern possesses two hard-charging tackles who have more than the average amount of speed. The 215 pound Karlstad re- places the brilliant Alf Bauman, lost by graduation, while Vincent won his spurs last season as a sophomore. Kapter Is Top Lineman At the guards, Wildcat Coach Lynn Waldorf will use Captain Nick Burke and Alex Kapter. Kapter is consid- ered the leading linemanI on the Northwestern squad by many, and it's his smashing charges from his left guard post that Wolverine scout Bill Barclay has emphasized in his reports to Coach Fritz Crisler. Don Hudson has taken over the center post, where his play has carried on the Wildcat tradition of good pivot- men. Ceithaml At Quarter For Michigan it will be Captain George Ceithaml at quarter, Kuzma at left half, Paul White at right half and Bob Wiese at fullback. Ceithaml will likely be called on once again to perform his iron-man stunts, which have kept him in every game for all but one minute total playing time this season. Don Robinson, who can play both halfbacks with equal abil- ity, may be a surprise starter at either post. Crisler will stick to the same line which has performed so brilliantly in all three games, which means that the "Seven Oak Posts" will remain intact and, barring injury, will prob- ably play almost the entire game.; Elmer Madar and Phil Sharpe at the ends, Al Wistert and Bill Pritula at the tackles, Bob Kolesar and Julie Franks at the guards, andMary Pre- gulman at center will be the starting Wolverine forward wall. PROBABLE LINEUPS Otto Graham ... Out to play a repeat performance of last year's sterling effort in which he sparked Northwestern's attack. Graham, a pass-tossing, running lo- comotive who combines the best qual- ities of an elephant and an antelope when he tucks the pigskin under his arm and sets sail for the enemy goal- line. Against Purdue he gained over 100 yards on the ground, while his passing has netted the Wildcats an average gain of 124 yards per contest. Teaming with Graham in the Pur- ple .backfield are three other juniors, quarterback Dud. Kean, right half Dor-Buffmire and fullback Ed Hirsch. And it may be, the : plunging Hirsch ta- the. Wildcats :look to for their maximum yardage on the rain-soak- ed turf today.=... Field To Be Slippery With the heavy downpour of the paste few days certain to make the ground slippery'rand treacherous, both teams will likely find it danger- ous to employ razzle-dazzle tactics which call for an emphasis on tricky ball-handling. As a result, Michi- gan's --high-charged passing attack may be replaced by the powerful run- ning offense which tore a game Mich- igan State line to shreds two weeks ago. Neither team will have a notice- able weight advantage to enable it on the muddy turf. Thin for the first time in years in the matter of reserves, Northwestern will start a line which has won the plaudits of experts because of its de- fensive work. Bob Motl, All-Con- BENCUCOMBEB By BUD HENDEL Daily Sports Editor * * * *a YOUR COLUMNIST, humble as he may be, managed to top Ann Arbr's f Board of Experts last week in picking the grid winners. I missed five of the games, Paul Chandler and Dick Simon each dropped six, while Fred Delano and Mike Dann muffed seven apiece. I'm going to try it again, rightIw below, while the selections of the Board appear elsewhere on this page. J0 Michigan-Northwestern: The Wildcats are fighting mad, mostly attil themselves for losing to Purdue. Michigan is always fighting mad, it seems, and Tom Kuzma's back to give Otto Graham a run for the running honors. fo It'll be Michigan. w Michigan State-Marquette: The Spartans are coming along, like all ir Charley Bachman teams do after the season gets under way. Michigan State o to improve even more this time. B Indiana-Pittsburgh: Pitt got two good games out of its system against Southern Methodist and Great Lakes. It can't have many more left, and D Indiana has a really topflight backfield. Indiana. r Illinois-Iowa: Eeny-meeny-mini-mo, this corner takes Iowoe. And p don't ask why. Minnesota-Nebraska: The Gophers have lost twice in a row, so today vi it's their show. Minnesota, and by plenty. Ohib State-Purdue: A slight suspicion lurks that the Buckeyes are over- I rated. They met Indiana when Indiana wasn't quite ready, and then they beat a weak Fort Knox team and a weak Southern Cal team. Purdue proved I last week that it isn't a weak team and that it's just beginning to hit its ir stride. Purdue, in the upset of the day. Wisconsin-Great Lakes: Wisconsin is stronger this year than ever, but it's about time for that Great Lakes power to explode some place. Here's a vote for it to explode all over the Badgers. Notre Dame-Iowa Seahawks: After seeing those Seahawks, we'll string along with them until proven wrong. Army-Columbia: Jim Edwards wrote this week after we picked Army to lose last week. Thanks for the letter, Jim. and we'll take Army this time on the basis of too much power for Paul Governali's passing feats to offset. Colgate-Duke: Colgate is one of the East's powerhouses. Duke is one of the South's weak spots. Need more be said. Penn State-Cornell: Penn State, likewise, is an Eastern choice for sec- tional honors. It's also our choice over Cornell. Dartmouth-Harvard: On the basis of the Crimson's surprise showing against William & Mary and Dartmouth's loss of too many lettermen, we'll make this one Harvard. Holy Cross-Syracuse: Neither one is going far, but Holy Cross will go the farthest today. Navy-Yale: A tough one. The Bulldog has been sick all year, and it may get over it today. Anyway, Navy still hasn't impressed. Yale, but it's close. Penn-Princeton: The Tigers are better than first thought, while Penn is just as good as earlier rated. Which is better than the Tigers. LSU-Mississippi: LSU to smother the Muddy River boys with too many fast backs. TCU-Texas A&M: Two favorites for the Southwest crown. It's a toss- up, and this coin came out for TCU. Tennessee-Alabama: And two favorites for the South's best. Anybody's game, and we hope it's 'Bama's.

The Badgers, held to a 7-7 tie with Notre Dame in among victories over Camp Grant, Marquette and Mis- souri, will depend on a thundering backfield of Pat Harder, Elroy Hirsch and Mark Hoskins to carry them past Great Lakes' assortment of former college and professional stars. This Great Lakes team has yet to show it is the caliber of the world war sailor aggregation that went unde- feated in 10 games and won the Rose Bowl contest from another service eleven, the Mare Island Marines. Minnesota-Nebraska LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 16.- (P)- Minnesota's Galloping Gophers, who haven't galloped hard enough or far enough on the last two Saturdays, and Nebraska's Cornhuskers, cleanly shucked by Indiana a week ago, will see what they can do about getting back on the victory trail in an Inter- Conference football game here to- morrow.
