T. 26, 1942 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAG ETHE iame Highlights From The ' ' .. Box . . . . . , 0 C ; Continued From Page 1 Tony Hinkle's assistant in coaching the Great Lakes Giants, dropped in on Fritz Crisler at Ferry Field. The conversation began the usual way, with each trying to feel the other out for information. It was, indeed, a beautiful exhibition of word-parrying. Said Cochrane: "Your boys look pretty good, Fritz." Replied Crisler: "Maybe so, but not good enough for your gang. Retaliated Cochrane: "Why, we don't even have enough time to practice with all the Navy work our squad must do during the day." Etc. Crisler: "Go on, we don't even consider our season as beginning until after you've mopped up on us." This went on and on, finally terminating with both saying, "We don't belong on the same field with your team." After which enlightening statement Crisler went out to drive his squad through one of its hardest drills of the f:L1 a i tO;raini left for Great Lakes to report to the Sailors that Miilan loaded with power and speed. * -* * * Today's tussle was broadcast by none other than Columbi"s veteran, colorful sports announcer Ted Husing. The venerable Husing was down at practice yesterday while the Woeiies stepped through their final pre-game drill. Out of n;who:0 a Navy dive-bomber came zooming over the field, which promn df Husing to crack, "That's Bernie Bierman scouting lou th iowa Cadets." Others who aired the tilt were Bob Kelly for W T. Tysi and Paul Williams for WWJ and Don Watrick for WXYZ. in- cidentally, Watrick is the former coach of Wolverine st:a Mxerv Pregulman and tackle Bill Baldwin at Lansing High S'choi. * * * * A more than interested spectator today was Charley Baich- man, coach of the Michigan State Spartans who will face Mich ii- tan here nex Saturday . . . Bachman watched the fray from the ps box, and he seemed very impressed by the possibilities of 'Ehia; might happen to his sophomore team next week. All Navy men were admitted for five cents . . . just paying the price of the federal tax on the tickets . . . the same policy trill hold when the Wolverines meet the Iowa Cadets two weeks hence.' Bob Johnson, the Sailor center who formerly starred for Porucie, was a teammate of injured Wolverine Tom Kuzma in their high school days ... and Steve Belichick, the Great Lakes fullback, is the same Belichick who starred for the Detroit Lions last reason . .. you remember, he was the equipment manager for the Lions until they fell so short of backfield strength he volunteered for a crack at the game . .. and you saw for your- self what a successful experiment it turned out to be . . . how many of you noticed that under the Great Lakes system the left halfback calls the plays and the quarterback confines his activi- ties to blocking? Two long-time buddies became rivals for the first time today after a friendship of 25 years. The two are Fritz Crisler and Lieut. Tony Hinkle, coaches of Michigan and Great Lakes, respectively. They first met as undergraduates at the University of Chi- cago in 1917, and they excelled not only in the same sports but at the same positions. Both were star ends on the Maroon foot- ball team, both played guard on the basketball outfit, and in baseball they alternated between pitching and the outfield. Crisler and Lieutenant Hinkle were so inseparable that they became known as the "Gold Dust Twins," mainly because both have dark complexions. The Hinkle-Crisler combination remained intact through their attendance of officer's training school in the last war, and in 1920 they toured Japan together as members of the University of Chicago baseball team. In fact, they even later played on the same professional baseball and semi-pro basketball squads.

Editor LAST YEAR a big kid from Gary, Ind., was given the job of filling the departed Tom Harmon's shoes, a job which the big kid did so well that nobody ever questioned that the footwear of the Hoosier Hurricane was just the right size for one Tom Kuzma. This year, the big kid, whom some bright intellect has probably told you by now is nobody else than the aforementioned Tom Kuzma, was entrusted with the job of just keeping his own shoes well-filled. As.well-filled, for example, as they were last football season when he made practically every- body but the most rabid Harmonite forget that Tom Harmon ever played for Michigan. So the big kid reported for practice in top shape, knowing full wel4 that he would be the key man in the Wolverine offense. His wind was good, his legs were strong and his heart was just where it should be and full of the right stuff. He scampered up and down the field during the scrimmage sessions, he pitched flawless strikes into the pass-re- ceiver's waiting arms, he booted the ball high, wide and handsome when- ever the occasion called for a bit of punting. In short, he looked great. BUT THERE'S AN OLD SAYING that all good things come in small pack- ages, and in this case they came in small doses. for the time being at least. As everybody knows now, the big kid spent Wednesday night and all day Thursday in a University Hospital bed. On the last day of the last scrimmage prior to today's tussle with Great Lakes, a scrimmage which took place Wednesday afternoon, Kuzma was winging his way towards paydirt when a tackler caught him and sent him sprawling, resulting in a sprained knee for Gary Ghost II, and the loss of his full services today. Merely to say that Kuzma was diappointed would win the writer the yearly award given by the Understatement Department of the Prevaricator's Society of America. The big kid, in his own words, "was itching to go against those big guys." And to say that Coach Fritz Crisler was disappointed would give understatement number one a tough run for the money in good old UDPSA's annual clambake. The good Master Fritz was sad, mad and just generally unhappy about the whole thing, which still puts it mildly. And who can blame him? His star ball-carrier, passer and kicker, was lost for all practical purposes Ain the toughest opener that Michigan has ever scheduled. BY NEXT WEEK, the big kid should ;e ready. Crisler will smile again, unless some other dependable reports unfit for active duty, and the Wolverine attack will be set to roll. . _ - - - -l- - --... . \ .._"' ---... i -- ".. :> :;?i3 in It's Football' Time at MICHIGAN Follow the MICHIGAN Team through the season by subscribing now to The Daily's FOOTBALL SPECIAL. $2.00 to have The Daily mailed to your home throughout the football season. Fourth Quarter Again the Sailors incorporated most of their second team in their attack. McCullough's flat pass was grounded by Robinson. Madar trotted in at end for Michigan. Great Lakes shoved through center for two yards. McCullough's pass was intercepted by Pregulman who was dumped out of bounds on the Michigan 36. Wiese's high kick went out of bounds on the Sailor's 34yard line. McCullough's pass to Mullineaux was good for a first down on the 48 yard line. Schwiezer's spinner netted two more yards. Another pass from Mc- Cullough was incomplete. Robinson trotted in for Chappius at left half and Karwales for Pretula at right half. Hurried, McCullough passed to 11 Or NEW If You Prefer Every Book for Every Course FTUDENT SUPPLIES For All Departments Just send a check and we'll mail you iL A TEXTBOOKS-New & Used [ii ilA i iiii I - -mm - i - slmnrsesmam e
