State, Minus 20 Lettermen,
To Bring Team Made Up
Of UntriedSophomores
Michigan To Play
Weakened Squad
Michigan will get one of its two
probable "breathers" of the season
next Saturday when Charley Bach-
mn.brings his Michigan State Spar-
taz squad over from East Lansing.
Aniong the twenty odd lettermen
who graduated last year, the bitterest
loss was center Tony Arena, whose
post will be taken over this year by
either Howard Beyer or Bill Monroe.
The newcomer on the starting
sq44ad is also the white hope of the
8partan line, with better than great
things hoped of him. That's Alger
Conner, a 220 pound sophomore, who
SbdtheStte reserve backs hit-
ting the dirt with embarrassing con-
sistency so far this fail.
Capable Takles
With Mangrum and Conner at
tackle, Bachman can breathe a little
easier, but when he looks at the guard
situation his complexion gets a shade
paler. Don LeClair saw only six min-
utes' service in the Wolverine tilt last
year, and George Radelescu, the other
probable starter at that post, has
been able to win only two minor let-
ters in his grid career at State.
In Bob McNeill, senior flanker from
Tuc on, Ariz., Bachman may have an
excellent pass receiver. Roy Fraleigh
another letterman, will probably start
at the opposite end.
Coach Charley has the reputation
of developing some outstanding backs
from practically hopeless timber, and
this year Dick Kieppe, a senior half-
back, has been throwing passes ac-
curately and consistently in practice
sessions, while sophomore Elbert
Stark of Geneva, Illinois, is keeping
right up there with him.
Pawowski Best Blocker [
Another embryo halfback star is
Walt Pawlowski, a five-foot-five 148
pound chunk of granite, who has
turned out to be the best blocker on
the squad.
The most likely starting quarter-
back is Bill Milliken, a cagy junior
from Chicago's Senn High.
Rounding out the State backfield,
we find a hefty battering ram, Ed
Ripmaster, out for much of the sea-
son, doing some admirable line
smashing in practice, according to
the grapevine.

Speed, Deception
Whip Great Lakes
STADIUM PRESS BOX, 5:15 P.M.-A Michigan team whose speed
and deception would not be denied, today turned in a startling 9-0 victory
over the Sailors from Great Lakes Naval Training Station in today's
greatest football upset.
The ponderous Sailors couldn't stay with the bevy of light, fleet
backs and ends that Coach Fritz Crisler threw into the game, and not
until the fourth quarter did they manage to show much of their vaunted
power.
With Chappius, Robinson, and Wise threading the needle with their
passes, and White, Ceithaml, Sharpe, and Madar hauling them down, the
Wolverines displayed their best passing attack in recent years.
They struck through the air to get into position for both scores, a
second period touchdown and a
third period field goal. Sophomore Ace

Wingback Paul White may not be the man that Fritz Crisler built
his dreams on, but today's performance stamped him as one of the
most elusive right halfbacks ever to wear a Wolverine uniform. He
caught the first -touchdown pass, and put on a generally dazzling show
as a man in motion that often had the Sailors befuddled.
time, and plunged to his own 21 yard
line where he was spilled. Wiese
sliced over the Indians right guard
for 3 yards. Ceithaml, taking the
ball from White gained a first down.
Wise lateralled to White for no gain,
then passed unsuccessfully to Ceith-
aml on the next down. Playing in
running formation, Wiese quick-kick-
ed, and shot the ball past Great Lakes'
Bruce Smith to the Sailors' 11-yard
line.
Bruce Smith took the ball immed-
iately for a 2 yard gain, tackled by
Wistert. Kolesar and Pregulman
ganged on Belicheck after the Sailors'
husky had stepped to the 18 yard line.
Smith was stopped cold in a line
plunge. Mucha booted to Wiese who
pushed the ball to the 46 before he
was downed by Daniell.
With the ball in midfield, Wiese
plunged through center for 3 yards.
Wise, grabbing the ball from Wiese
shot a long spiral to White who
caught the pigskin on the Great
Lakes 20 yard line, and couldn't be
stopped until he had passed the 9
yard line where Mucha drove him
to earth. Threatening now, Michigan
sent in Robinson at left half, and
Chappius at right half replacing Paul
White. Chappius drove to the 7 yard
line. Wiese now plowed twice through
the center of the Great Lakes wall,
once for 31/2 yards, once for % yard.
Ceithaml, trying for a score on fourth
down, who stopped dead at the one-
yard line after an unsuccessful
plunge.
Facing the Michigan team on his
own goal line, Mucha kicked weakly
out of bounds on his own 23 yard
line.
Once more in position to score,
Michigan made 7 yards on the first
play, a drive to the right by Schapies.
Wiese's fumble, although recovered
by Ceithaml, lost 6 yards. A Pregul-
man-White pass was incomplete. But
a Robinson to Sharpe pass was com-
pleted on Great Lakes 11-yard line.
Again Michigan had a scoring oppor-
tunity with a first down deep in en-
emy territory. Schweiger now ran in
to bolster the Great Lakes defense.
Ceithaml lateralled to Wiese who
Bob Chappius, playing his first
game as a Wolverine, starred both
as a passer and runner. Besides
breaking away for several long runs,
he threw the first touchdown pass.
