ing post. He needs no introdvt'tion,
having captained the 1940 Wolver-
ine eleven and holding down the
quarterback position for. three years
here. Fraumann was the regular
left end last season for the Maize
and Blue, while Flora and Jordan
both filled the role of reserve tackles
during their undergraduate career.
In the Seahawk backfield, Bier-
man will be without the services of
Jim Langhurst, fleet, pile-driving
halfback from Ohio State. Langhurst
was badly bruised in- last week's
Minnesota fray, and he is expected
to see limited service at best. An-
other who will be held out is Bob
Swisher, 163-pound scatterback half-
back from Northwestern who has
been recuperating from an injured
ankle.
Cadets' Backs Powerful
Nevertheless, the Wolverines will
face a backfield replete with power
and dangerous throughthe air as
well as along the .ground. Besides
Evashevski, Bierman will start Bill
Schatzer and Bus Mertes at the
halves and George Benson at full-
back. Schatzer played for}North
Central College, earned Little All-
American honors and is, to date, the
leading Cadet ground gainer per
average try. Mertes was a familiar
figure as an Iowa halfback while
Benson was a standout for North-
western. In reserve, - the Seahawks
have Dick Fisher, formerly of Ohio
State, who statistically speaking, is
the second best halfback in the na-
tion. He's gained 425 yards by rush-
ing and passing this year, second
only to Paul Governali of Columbia.

and sport a shifty, deceptive attack.
As a result, the contest looks to be
different than other Bierman-Cris-
ler battles, with the emphasis on
trickery rather than sheer power.
Kolens Gone From Line
The departure of Sam Kolens, reg-
ular left tackle, has moved John
Kulbitski, former Minnesota star,
into the regular Cadet line, with the
remainder of the forward wall re-
maining intact. That means Matt
Bolger at left end, Gene Flick at left
guard, John Haman at center; Fred
Gage at right guard, Charles Schultz
at right tackle and Judd Ringer at
right end. Flick, Schultz and Ringer
are all familiar with Bierman's meth-
I
end, Al Wistert at left tackle, Bob
Kolesar at left guard, Merv Pregul-
man at center, Julie Franks at right
guard, Bill Pritula at right tackle and
Elemer Madar at right end. Thus
far, this line has held Wolverine op-
ponents to a total gain of 73 yards
by rushing.
Ceithaml At Quarter
In the backfield Capt. George Ceit-
haml will take his regular quarter-
back spot and Don Robinson will be
at left half. But who will start at
right half and fullback is doubtful.
It will be either Paul White or soph-
omore Frank Wardley at the wing-
back, with Bob Wiese, Don Boor and
Don Lund all eligible for the line-
bucking chores.
Tom Kuzma, stellar Wolverine
halfback who was being boomed for
All-American honors before he in
jured his knee prior to the Great
Lakes clash, will probably sit this
one out. He hasn't seen any action
yet, and both Crisler and Dr. A. W.
Coxon, team physician, claimrhe isn't
in shape for game service. There
is a chance, however, that Kuzma
will play if the Wolverines get in a
tight spot and need his off-tackle
smashing power.
The Se.hawks spent the night in
Jackson xnd will arrive in Ann Ar-
bor this norning, while the Wolver-
ines were quartered overnight at
Barton Hills Country Club.

PROBABLE STARTING LINE'UPS

DRIFTWOOD AND SPLINTERS: It was a sight worth seeing, that final
Michigan practice yesterday . . . the scene hadn't been enacted since
the day before last year's Michigan-Minnesota battle . . . the first team1
had the ball ... they were running signal plays, and the rest of the squad
was lined up in front of them, cheering with all they had on every play ...
from the lowest scrub up, they cheered while the regulars came down the
field . . . they're fired up, these Wolverines, and the Seahawks will feel
the flame of that fire today, win or lose ... and win or lose, this Michigan
team will be fighting all the way . .. and that's a big part of what makes
a great team.
Football notables from all parts of the nation have filtered into Ann
Arbor for today's clash . . . Radiocasters Bill Stern and Ted Husing as
well as the dean of all sportswriters, Grantland Rice, among them . .
incidentally, Stern will have Coach Fritz Crisler on his radio program
tonight ... it will be broadcast from Morris Hall.
Grantland Rice states that this should be the greatest football
season in the history of the sport .., yet, the North Carolina-Rice battle
scheduled for next Saturday has been called off because of transpor-
tation difficulties ... and this may happen more often as the season
grows older ... no more special trains or chartered buses are allowed
by order of the ODT, which makes it tough for even the teams to travel,
let alone the fans.
Clark Shaughnessy, the coach who made the T formation famous at
Stanford, is putting Maryland on the gridiron map .. . his team is unde-
feated in two games and boasts a hard-running backfield replete with
deadly passers and good kickers.
Jay Schafner, ex-Michigan wrestler, was just appointed mat coach at
Harvard . . . looks like Michigan is moving in on the Big Three, what with
Ted We-man head football mentor at Princeton . . . Pro Boim, colorful Wol-
verine pitcher, is cornering everybody he sees these days to let him know
that he just passed his Naval V-7 exam. . . Dick Wakefield, the lad who led
Michigan to a Conference baseball crown two yeats ago and who is now
the property of the Detroit Tigers, eniolled in school last Thursday . . . word
has it that Dizzy Trout, Tiger pitcher, is all hepped up over Wakefield's pros-
pects.
Added afterthought .. . who's going to win all the ,money in the
golf circuit now that Ben Hogan is enlisting?
The football selections listed below are those of Ann Arbor's best
Monday morning quarterbacks ... read these other four guys, and then
laugh politely.
BUD LOW, SPORTS NIGHT EDITOR
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 9.-(AP)-
Notre Dame and Stanford - both
geared to the T formation-clash
here tomorrow with each seeking its
first victory of the season, but Frank
Leahy, the Irish head coach, will not
be present.
Leahy was ordered today to go to
the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn.,
for treatment of various ailments that
have kept him inactive much of the
season. Assistant coaches will be in
charge.
Notre Dame's record shows a tie
with Wisconsin and a loss with Geor-
gia Tech, while Stanford has lost to
Washington State and Santa Clara.
With three linemen left from its
1940 Rose Bowl championship outfit,
Stanford has one of the strongest
forward walls in the nation. It held
Santa Clara to 50 yards by rushing.
