At 1:39 pm the Michigan team heads for South Bend to meet one of their toughest foes of the year, Notre Dame. the Team Of f if ,it's still true that a good line is the best pass defense, then line coach Biggie Munn's boys will have their work cut out for them Saturday against Notre Dame. The Irish have a fellow named An- gelo Bertelli who's built up quite a reputation completing passes against just such strong teams as Michigan and it's a cinch that he'll be flipping that leather high and wide again, Saturday. Which brings us to the main point: Michigan has a woefully weak pass defense and they haven't yet faced a passer with as dangerous a reouta- tion as Bertelli's. Although Coach Fritz Crisler has probably been work- ing on some new wrinkles for Michi- gan's offense in the secret practice sessions this week, he has undoubt- edly been giving his charges a pretty good taste of pass defense, too.

Blue line isn't just ficition Against Northwestern Julie Franks, Al Wis= tert and the rest of the Wolverine forward wall continually smashed through to hurry Otto Graham's passes. The result: Michigan had piled up a 34-3 lead before the Wild- cat ace could complete any aerials, and even then it was only with the Wolverines' second-stringers in. It'll be the same story again Sat- urday. Bertelli is a dangerous passer and he has at least two fine receiv- ers in Captain George Murphy and Bob Dove. What's more, he'll have a line in front of him manned with vet- erans from the unbeaten Irish of last fall. To sum it up, the big job that confronts Michigan's great forward wall Saturday is simply this: don't let Bertelli pass. Weber Names Frosh Lineup Squad Plans Tricky Offense for Spartans Coach Wally Weber walked off Ferry Field at 6:15 last night with an armful of football diagrams that he hopes will turn the trick against the yearling Spartans from East Lan- sing this Friday. Those diagrams rep- resent long hours of preparation for State's freshman gridders who will invade Ann Arbor with one victory already tucked under their belt, a 13-0 triumph over Western Michi- gan's frosh. As he walked off the field Weber discussed Friday's starting line-up. Names Starting Lineup "The way I've got it figured now it'll be something like this," he com- mented. "Varskin Bayarian at left end; Jack Emerick, left tackle; Henry Mantho, left guard; Frank Kern, cen- ter; Kurt Kampe, right guard; George Kreager, right tackle; Leh- man Beardsley, right end; Dick Wal- terhouse, left half; Bob Nussbaumer, right half; Ralph Chubb, fullback; and Erv Derda, quarterback. These boys will start but there will be plenty of others who will alternate with them.". Weber's boys will have a job cut out for them in this their first fresh- man game in 25 years. The Spartans are said to have their strongest band of freshmen in quite some time. With a 200-pound line led by Frank Brog- ger, sensational end from Saginaw, and a 180-pound backfield, the State Frosh have consistently given the Varsity tough opposition. Practice Notre Dame System In the last week Michigan's fresh- man gridders have been handing out some stiff competition of their own. They have been using the Notre Dame system of play against the Var- sity who it is hoped will thus become familiar with the Irish offense. As a result the Wolverine Frosh will go into Friday's game masters of two different offenses, Michigan's and Notre Dame's. That should make them twice as good. A week from this Friday Weber will take 22 of his freshman squad to Columbus, 10., to tackle the OSU freshmen. Thus the Maize and Blue frosh find themselves in an odd posi tion. All they have to do to have an undefeated season is to win two games. Phillies To-Be Sold NEW YORK, Nov. 11.- (P)- Sale of the Philadelphia National League baseball club, which has been in fi- nancial straits for several seasons and often reported on the block, now is certain this winter and possibly with- in a couple of months, it was learned today. i N EWSPAPER writers and radio an- nouncers all over the country are raving about Michigan's kicking star, Jim Brieske. Christmas vacation is not far off. Add these two simple facts together1 and you get,-a hundred people ask-I ing, you the minute you hit the old home town ... whoP ...:is Jim Brieske? As a part of the Cracker Barrel's . unusually friend- ly service we givej you a short adul- terated biography of James F. Brie- ske. The six foot-two, 200 - pound lad, with a golden foot - was a little boy in Brieske Harbor Beach. As .he grew up he no-' ticed pumpkins growing in a back- yard and so he thought up the novel idea of rolling one of the Halloween mementoes to school with his foot. It wasn't long before he was kicking the pumpkins over the garage. The man who lived next door to the Brieske's loved pumpkins very much and could nt bear to see lit- tle Jim kicking thenm all the time. One day the man saw an advertise- ment on a billboard which read: "Come to Michigan and you will never stop kicking." He showed this billboard to little Jimmy, who got so excited that he didn't even stop to tell his mother and father (whom he loves very much) that he was going to Ann Ar- bor to attend school. He is now doing very well for himself and will probably tell his parents (whom he still loves very much) that he is at Michigan.. .. kicking. Everywhere "Surefoot" goes to- day it is Jim, Jim, Jim! Why shouldn't it be Jim? It's his name-- Kuz ma, 'Evans Have Similar Grid Histories Stars of Both Teams Plagued by Injuries By JO ANN PETERSON Encounters between two teams, both of which are powers in their own leagues, are certain to bring out many similarities, differences and peculiar angles. No exception to this rule is Michigan's battle Saturday with No- tre Dame's Fighting Irish squad. Owen "Dippy" Evans, to mention one of the similaries, left halfback for the Ramblers, has a record which al- most parallels that of Tom Kuzma, Wolverine halfback. Last year Evans was second to none among the Irish backs. He led the Irish in scoring and rushing and picked up enough yardage to make himself good colorful material for the sports writers. Kuzma Matches Evans At the same time, at Michigan, there was a young sophomore named Tom Kuzma, successor to Tom Har- mon, who was proving himself not only capable, but startlingly so. He, too, was giving the sports writers a field day. Copy flowed in about these two halfbacks. They were both quick and shifty, both certain of at least another season of play. Kuzma was an able, even spectacu- lar punter, and Evans proved himself a master at the punting game also, when in the Irish battle with the ever threatening Navy Cadets he managed to use that kicking ability to such an advantage that the apparently un- avoidable disaster resulted in a score- less tie. An Even Pair In other words everything that Kuzma could do, "Dippy" could match, and vice versa. They were two very hot halfbacks with fine futures. Come spring practice, "Dippy" hit a snag in the shape of a knee injury that kept him from running. That wasn't too, bad, because there was every reason to think that after a summer of rest the knee ought to be in splendid condition. Fall practice had barely started when both "Dippy," (for the second time) and Kuzma, were laid up. On September 5, Mr. Evans' trick knee went bad on him again, and by the end of September Mr. Kuzmna was likewise out of commission with a sprained ankle. Chased by Injuries Since that time both Tom and "Dippy" have been chased by injuries. Almost as soon as either of them has gone nn the field they have had a probably wouldn't answer if you called him Harry anyway. If there are any more questions you would like ansvered, please don't write. In war times there are things that can't be printed. Have faith. that's all we can say now. * * * TUESDAY Coach Fritz Crisler called his first secret practice of the sea- son. Even newspapermen who are usually permitted to watch the Wol- verines in their mid-week workouts had their passes temporarily can- celled. This probably means that Michi- gan will use new offensive tactics against Notre Dame Saturday, Not just a few new plays but something that may even change the general Wolverine style of play. Whether or not they will be a suc- cess or not depends largely on one man - George Ceithaml, captain: rho and quarterback. Ceithaml's job has been an extra hard one this year because the Wol- verines are playing a "wide open game." This brand .of football means that thesquarter- amore plays to learn, and that Ceithami they are more complicated than power plays. "Cy" has been doing a fine job this year, but he'll have to benat his best Saturday if Crisler's plans are to be a success. We feel if Ceithaml is right the Wolverines will coast to an easy victory, but if he's off, the Maize and Blue are in for the worst kind of trouble. ** * THE FORGOTTEN MAN of the 1942 Wolverine grid season is neither player nor coach. He's Jimmy Kline, manager of the squad. Ever since practice started early. in September Jim's been out there, the first one around and the last one to leave. If the squad was on a trip, Kline was the one who-had to be one step ahead of anyone else to see that all was okay. If the team got hungry Kline had to go out and hunt apples. That's just a sample of what a foot- ball manager has to do. The boys on the squad think he is doing a swell job and they want to thank him for the many things he has done that have indirectly helped the Wolverines Lo success. PERSONALIZED SERVICES!
