FRIDAY, NOV. 13, 1942 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Frosh Face State; Varsity Entrains For South Bend z FroshNEW PAGE THEE Claims Former Heavy Champion YORK, Nov. 22.--(IP)--Phil- U Spartans Face Purdue Next EAST LANSING, Nov. 12.-(P)-A triumph over Purdue here tomorrow is needed to give Michigan State a mathematical chance of finishing the 1943 campaign above the .500 mark. With the Boilermakers, West Vir- ginia and Oregon State still to be en- countered, the Spartans hold a record of two victories, three defeats and a tie. To equal their 1941 record, they must sweep the last three games. Bachman announced that neither halfback Wally Pawlowski nor full- back Ed Ripmasted would be off the hospital list; and indicated that Edo Mencotti, Detroit sophomore, would make his debut at right halfback. : Both Mencotti and tackle Glenn Deibert are back in the good graces of the coaches after being dropped from the roster prior to last week's game with Washington State in what Bachman described as a disciplinary measure. Teams Will Battle for First Time Since 1917 (Continued from Pa ge 1) in practice yesterday was booting the ball 50 yards in the air from the line of scrimmage. Pitted against Walterhouse will be Phil Durant, Spartan pacemaker from Wheaton, Ill., home of Red Grange. Durant is rated plenty good as a triple-threater and should give the home town boys trouble before the day is over. Renner Is Out Michigari's lineup will be weakened for today's game because Art Renner who was slated to start at left end has an injured hand and will be un- able to play. Varskin Baydarian will get the call at Renner's former spot, with Lehman Beardsley at the other end. The starting tackles will be Jack Emerick and Bill Pratt. George Krae- ger will be in there at left guard when the game- begins, but may later be shifted to the left tackle position if needed. The other guard will be Henry Mantho, All-Stater from Alliance, Ohio. Frank Kern who starred at Catholic Central in Detroit, will be the Michigan pivotman. Walterhouse to Start In the backfield, Coach Weber will start Ervin Derda from South Bend at quarter, Dick Walterhouse and Bob Nussbaumer, a fleet-footed lad from Oak Park, Ill., at the halves, and Ralph Chubb, hard-charging plunger from Ann Arbor High School, at full- back. A Michigan captain will be elected just before game time, and he will lead the team onto the field. The offi- cials for the game are Ray Fisher, Earl Riskey, and Jimmy James, all of the Michigan staff. There is no ad- mission charge for the contest, and identification cards will not be neces- sary.

Tomorrow Will Tell By JOE McHALE During the pre-game warmups this Saturday you can bet your boots that more people will be looking for a slim Italian named Bertelli than for any other player. The reason? He is one of the nation's greatest passers and most publicized players in many a year. Why all this fuss about an ordi- nary-looking fellow who happens to belong to Frank Leahy's football team? Bertelli had a sensational sea- son last year as a sophomore; he completed 70 out of 123 passes for' the remarkable total of 1027 yards, his heaves leading to 15 touchdowns. With such a reputation it is small wonder that all eyes were focused on him this year. Shifted to quarter- back, Bert got off to a slow start. However, as soon as Harry Wright, 1941 quarterback and 1942 guard, relieved him of the signal-calling burden, Angelo really got going. Up to last Saturday he had connected with 40 out of 85 attempts for 621 yards.rLast week against Army the Irish relied most heavily on a ground attack, but one touchdown came from a Bertelli pass. As accurate a place- kicker as he is a passer, Angelo has also been forced to do Notre Dame's, punting on account of injuries to key men "Dippy" Evans and Creighton Miller. So confident are the Irish of Bert's accuracy that they often line up in a double wing formation with the ends wide, just broadcasting to the world that a pass is on deck-and not a one of these passes has yet been intercepted, thanks to Angelo's hair- breadth accuracy in his heaving. Michigan's pass defense had better be sharp, because Bertelli uses bullets that have pierced the armor of many a team, and Michigan doesn't want to be one of them. BENCHCOMBER By BUD HENDEL . Daily Sports Editor FIELDING H. YOST was poring into the past yesterday. The Great Scalper, white-haired now, ambled into The Daily offices yesterday afternoon and asked for The Daily file of 1909, the last year Michigan met Notre Dame on the gridiron and the only time in nine games that Notre Dame got the best of the Wolverines. "We had spirit," Yost remarked, "the kind of spirit that never dies. If you let it die, you'll die with it. You know," he chuckled, "you can't put it on and take it off like a coat." "Yes," he went on, "I remember that 1909 game. It was a real game, and I still think we should have won. 'Red' Miller, their halfback, was one of the best, and he sure did have us chasing him that day. "It was that game," declared the 'Grand Old Man,' "that made me decide Michigan needed a new cen- ter. I had a boy named Andy Smith on the squad a reserve tackle. His son, Bill,; was the regular right tackle here in 1939, and Bill's with the Air Corps in the Pacific now." Yost came back to Andy Smith and said, "Well, I made a center out of Andy. We played Penm the week after that Notre Dame game, and in those days travel took a lot of time. He had never centered a ball before, and I taught him how in the aisle of the train. All the way to Philadelphia, Smith was spread out over a ball pass- ing it back to the halfbacks." "When we got to Philadelphia, I marked a 'irle on the wall of his hotel room and told him to keep pegging away until game time. Well, he never did make a bad pass the next day and we beat Penn 12 to 6," concluded Yost., HE DIDN'T want to say anything about the break in relations be- tween Notre Dame and Michigan after the 1909 fracas, but he pointed to a yellowed passage in the old Daily and said, "See that. It's about Johnny Longman, coach of Notre Dame. He played football under me here at Michigan and then came back to beat me. That was pretty good," Yost laughed. We left the Great Scalper then to let him read and re-read the stories about his great teams of yester- year. Not much later, he walked out of the building, as quietly as he had entered. Few pedple even knew he was there, but everybody will always know that Yost is Michigan. * * * IN CASE YOU didn't know it, Michi- gan was handed a football victory by Notre Dame this week." Not the game to be played tomorrow, but one that took place in 1888. According to the Wolverine rec- ords, only one contest occurred that year, but in South Bend, the offi- cials have Michigan marked down for two triumphs. The Irish claim that two games were ilayed, on successive days, and that Michigan won them both. Wolverine records admit the first win, 26-6 on April 20, but only in the files of the Notre Dame Scholastic, Irish campus newspaper, can the second tilt be found, a 10-4 Wolverine victory on April 21. Fred Delano, Michigan publicity director, has accepted the victory and it will be written in the Michigan books, thus making the Wolverine-Rambler series stand at 8 to 1 in favor of Michigan. GAS GAS RATIONING a-iiii TOP TRANSPOR- TATION JAMS By ED ZALENSKI Faced with its stiffest test of the season, the 34-man Michigan football squad entrains at 1:30 p. m. today on the Mercury for South Bend, Ind., and tomorrow's titanic struggle with a pwrhous Notre Dame eleven. Only flaw in the picture is the doubtful status of the three injured Wolverine ball carriers, Tom Kuzma, Don Robinson and Don Boor. Kuzma and Boor have tender ankles, while Robbie's shoulder is still sore. While all three may see action, they are I uncertain quantities. Evans Is Out There was a cheerful note from the enemy camp for Wolverine fans. A late report informed The Michigan Daily that Owen (Dippy) Evans, Notre Dame's great back, was defi- nitely out of action and would not play. Evans has seen only two minutes of actual play all season. Michigan's squad, augmented by Coaches Fritz Crisler, Earl Martineau, Clarence Munn and Bennie Ooster- baan, Trainer Ray Roberts, Ticket Manager Harry Tillotson, Dr. A. W. Coxon and Manager Jim Kline, will arrive at Niles, Ind. (10 miles from South Bend), at 4:27 p. m. today. Crisler Picks 34 The entire group will be housed at the Elkhart Hotel. The return trip will be made tomorrow with the train scheduled to leave Niles at 7:02 p. m., Educated Toe of Brieske Pitted Against Bertelli's The automatic toe of center Jim Brieske will have its stiffest test of the season tomorrow afternoon at South Bend, Ind., when Michigan meets Notre Dame.. Brieske's point-kicking genius will be pitted against the wizardry of An- gelo Bertelli who is also adept with his right toe. Who knows whether victory will hinge on their respective abilities. Brieske has booted across 19 out of 21, the last 12 in a row. Bertelli, Irish passing ace, has kicked 16 out of 20, the last eight in succession.
