TUESDAY, OCT.2 6, 194? THE MICHIGAN DAILY SAGE THUET Injury To Keep Bob Wiese Out Of Gopher Game IGets Chance ,Saturday Both Lund, Boor Set To Start Against Minnesota On Saturday The Cracker Barrel By Mike Dan That old Minnesota jinx has turned up ahead of schedule this year to blight Michigan's victory chances, this time in the form of an ankle injury to Bob Wiese which' will probably keep - the sophomore full- back star out of the Gopher tilt next' Saturday in St.Paul. Wiese was hurt in the third quarter of the Northwestern -" game last week-end< when he sprained' his ankle after a seventeen - yard BOB WIESE plunge through the center of the Wildcat line. Examina- tions immediately after the game seemed to indicate that the injury was not serious enough to put Wiese out of commission for very long. But closer scrutiny of the sprain by team physician, Dr. A. W. Coxon and trainer Ray Roberts has proved that Marshall's * ~sells DR. GRABOW PIPES 235 South State St. the extent of the injury is greater than they suspected. When Coach Fritz Crisler heard the report of Wiese's condition yesterday he said that it looked like his starting fullback was lost for the Minnesota game, adding that an injury of that type usually takes about ten days or more to heal sufficiently. The blow to Michigan's strength as they begin preparations for what may be considered their biggest game of the season is an equally nasty one to Wiese himself. The husky youngster from Jamestown, N. D., who has proved his caliber as regular fullback in his first year of Varsity competi- tion, was just beginning to hit his peak and any member of the Wildcat squad will attest to that. Wiese In Form It Was Wiese who put on a one-man! line-busting show in the first twelve minutes of Saturday's game, finally going over for the initial Wolverine score which seemed to take the life out of Northwestern for the remain- der of the afternoon. Just before the accident occurred Wiese had returned a Wildcat punt 77 yards to set up another Michigan score. Even on the fatal play itself Wiese had reeled off seventeen yards more over center, be- fore several Northwestern tacklers downed him, twisting his ankle in the attempt. Luckily, Michigan isn't without capable reserves to fill in for Wiese. Crisler will start either Don Boor or Don Lund in his place. Boor was slated for the regular fullback post before the season began, but a recur- rence of an old leg injury laid him up for several weeks, and by the time he was back in shape, Wiese had proved too valuable a man to remove from the lineup. Boor is ready to go now, hoWe("er, and I has plenty of pbwer to hurl at the Gopher line him- ~self. -Lund To Start Lund' is another sophomore who has shown his worth in action.

Big Ten Round-Up OSU Gets Good News COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 19.-(/P)- Some nice news was passed around. as Ohio State's Bucks began training today for their battle Saturday with Northwestern at Evanston, Ill. Trainer Ernie Biggs reported that Dante Lavelli, an end who wrenched his knee severely in the Southern California game 10 days ago, was re- covering rapidly and might be able to play against the Wildcats. Lavelli sat on the sidelines as the fast and powerful Bucks crushed Purdue 26 'to 0 Saturday. Gopher Stars Back MINEAPOLIS, Oct. 19. U (P) - Things were definitely on the bright side in the Gopher campus today as Bill Garnaas and Bill Daley took over at quarterback and left half on the first team. It was Garnaas' best workout since he injured his knee in the opening game of the season against -Pittsburgh., EVER since the Gophers neat Michi- gan back in 1934, Wolverine gridd- ers have insisted that they would get even with Minnesota when next the two teams met. So each year, about a week before the big game, the Michigan squad would have signs all over the locker room saying-THIS IS OUR YEAR- GOPHER LUCK IS OVER-TOO BAD MINNESOTA. But the Gophers have continued to win. This time, however, the week be- fore the Minnesota clash, all the big talk about beating the Gopher is gone, the boys aren't putting up the usual pre-game signs. Not because they don't want to win, but because they don't have the time. As Capt. George Ceithaml puts it, "We will let somebody else do the talking for a change. We have a job cut out for us and aren't going to . let off steamuni it's done."r From the reserve fullback on the "red-shirts" to Fritz' Crisler himself the- slogan of the Michi- gan crew is "stick to business - there is plenty of it". We can't remem- ber any game in the past four years that CEITHAML has made the Maize and Blue squad want to get out and give their all in practice as much as this 1942 Gopher game. For example, Monday is usually a day when the'boys take it easy, show up at 4 o'clock, talk in the locker room for a half hour and then see the pictures of their latest game. But yesterday it was a different story, everyone showed up at 3:30, as soon as they had their equipment on they went out to limber up, then they all ran (not walked) back to the field house to see the North- western pictures. They had plenty of hustle, and one would have thought it was Friday, not Monday. Some may say, those are just little things. In themselves maybe they are. But, I am dead sure Minnesota, and their Coach Dr. George Hauser, won't find them very consoling. * * R OB WIESE'S leg injury came at an unfortunate time in his collegiate football career. More than any other game, Bob wanted to play against Minnesota. Although he hails from North Dakota, the Gopher college is the nearest big school. Before coming to Ann Arbor, Wiese couldn't make up his mind between Minnesota or Michigan, but finally decided to come here. From that time until now, he has wanted to show the folks back home that he made the right choice. In Wiese's place will probably be Don Lund, a boy who wants to play against Minnesota as much as any- body. He's a big, blond, blue-eyed Swede, the kind of a guy you would expect to find on the Gopher squad. On top of this, Don is the cousin of the famous ''Pug'' Lund who used to be a terror in the Minnesota back- field. It might take a Swede to beat a Swede Saturday, so Fritz Crisler can be thankful for having Lund around to do just that. 'Blues' Prevail As Coaches Do Post - Mortems Ray Eliot, Illinois-That Tom Far- mer of Iowa is a great passer. That was a grand bunch of Iowa boys and we had a swell game. Both teams seemed a bit sluggish. The heat, you know. Eddie Anderson, Iowa-They really wanted to win that one. We saw the Illinois team disintegrate before our attack in 1939 just as Illinois dis- organized us today. Our Hawks got going only twice. Glenn Presnell, Nebraska-Our line played fine ball, but we've got to do something about our offense, but we couldn't do much about it against that Minnesota line. We had a rough row with three Big Ten teams in four games, and were not too deep any place. George Hauser, Minnesota-I'm pleased with the play of my sopho- mores, but we've got a long way to go to get any place with the rest of our schedule. I was surprised at the defensive strength of the Nebraska line. Babe Hollinberry, Washington State-It must be my football team. We were terrible. In fact, we stank. The whole thing was that our line was outplayed by USC.tThe Trojans have twice the offense of any team we have met this year* GRID ATTENDANCE DOWN NEW YORK, ocr. 19.-(A)--Col- lege football attendance, as re- flected in 127 games played.so far this season by 44 colleges of major caliber is 25% less than a year ago. A number of reasons are given for the changes in individual cases, such as adverse weather conditions at games that ordinar- ily would draw capacity crowds, the failure of one team or an- other to measure up to its usual standard as a drawing card or schedule games that replaced big games with lesser ones, but only two apply to the whole list-trans- portation and the war.

These men, rapidly becoming known as the "Seven Oak Posts", are being touted by sports writers as the best line Coach Fritz Crisler has ever had to work with. They proved this last Saturday. It was this fast charging forward wall that held the Purple and White's ground offensive to a mere twenty-six yards. It was this line that blocked savagely for the Michigan ball carri- ers. And it was a member of the line, MADE BY M. LINKMAN & CD. /DR. GRABOW TRU-GRAIN FO Y. . $350 d " Merv Pregulman, who scored a touch- down on a 35-yard runback of an in- tercepted pass in the third quarter. It was only after the first string line had been given its first rest of the year in the final period, that the Wildcats started any real offensive, when Otto Graham filled the air with passes to enable Northwestern to score two touchdowns. It would be difficult to single out one lineman as the lineman of the day. Julie Franks, guard, made three sensational "submarine" tackles to thwart the Northwestern offensive by throwing its backs for losses, twice for over five yards. Elmer Madar, Al Wistert, and Franks pulled Graham down for losses of fifteen or more yards as he was attempting to pass. Goal Line Stand But it would be unfair to give all the credit to one or two of the line- men. It held all afternoon. It was a unit, impenetrable. In the third quar- ter it staged a goal line stand inside its own five yard line. Confident that Northwestern would not try to pass, Michigan assumed a seven-four de- fensive position that staved off the score. The line blocked very effectively all afternoon. The holes opened up for the Wolverine backs were big enough to drive a truck through. On end runs and off tackle plays the ball carriers had more than enough blocking. The line also blocked sensationally on Michigan's return of punts. Wistert especially stood out in this depart- ment. Because of this blocking Michi- gan held the edge over the Wildcats in yardage gained in punt returns. The ends and tackles were espe- cially fast in getting down under Michigan's punts to slow down the fast Graham and Nick Vodick. Here again it was Wistert who generally was the first man down. At least two of the Micigan linemen gave performances that would do credit to any All-American. These men were Franks and Wistert. But from end to end, from Sharpe to Madar, the Michigan line was sensa- tional. Every man played one of the best games of his career. The "Seven Oak Posts" of the Wolverines are ready to bring back the Little Brown Jug to Ann Arbor next Saturday.
