Eleven Must

Civilian Team

Ohio State's Offense

Rivals for World's Lightweight Championshitp Square Of f

By ED ZALENSKI
Michigan was just one game away
from its first Conference football
championship in 10 years as Coach
Fritz Cisler planned a final prac-
tiee this afternoon for tomorrow's
season finale with Ohio State at the
Stadium here.
If the Wolverines hurdle Coach
Paul Bown's Buckeyes, and we have
cery reason to believe that they
ll, it will be Crisler's first taste
of a dig Ten title since coming to
Ann Arbor. There is a strong pos-
sibility that Indiana may upset Pur-
due to give Michigan undisputed
possession of a tie.
Wateh State's Freshmen
Interest will be largely centered
on Brown's two sensational freshman
starts, Ernie Parks and Dean Sen-
sanbaugher. Parks, a state sprint
champion, and Sensanbaugher have
gained most of Ohio's yardage this
yar and have performed consis-
tently all season.
Itappears almost definite that
i4 ,ganwill play without Elroy
(Crvzy Legs) Hirsch, regular left
halfback whose shoulder injury is
still too painful for close contact
work. Hirsch limbered up on the
side lines yesterday, but did not take
part in the drill.
Five Lettermen Bank
Ohio has won three of its eight
games this fall, the last two in a row
fro6 Pittsburgh affd Illinois, while
Michigan has a record of seven wins
and one defeat-to Notre Dame.
R Lo boasts,, five veteran lettermen
oias year's*Conference cham-
ioship team'n-End Jack Dugger,

Appleby, wuard Bill Hackett and
End Cecil Souders. The other six
men are' freshmen..
With Hirsch an improbable starter
Mchigsn will again call on its soph-
onore. speedster, Bob Nussbaumer,
who displayed plenty of stuff against
the Badgers Saturday.

Statistics Say
Michigan Tops
Big Ten Teams
Michigan stood out as the most
outstanding team in the Big Ten
Conference according to statistics of
its five games with Midwest foes.
The Wolverines have piled up 162
points to 144 for Purdue, its closest
rival, and have held the opposition
to 25 points as compared to North-
western's defense record of 33 tallies.
Lead in Rushing
Coach Fritz Crisler's Maize and
Blue eleven has rolled up 344 net
yards per game to 321 for Purdue,
and have held five foes to 130 net
yards per game as compared to the
Boilermakers' 161-yard record.
Purdue's former backfield ace who
is now on active duty, Tony Butko-
vich, still leads Conference scorers
with 78 points in four games, while
Otto Graham, Northwestern, is pres-
sing Michigan's Elroy Hirsch for
runner-up spot. Hirsch has 43
points and Graham 41.
Bray Tops in Yardage
Eddie Bray, Illinois' speedy fresh-
man back, has the best rushing mark
with an average of 7.5 yards per try
out of a total of 506 yards in five
games. Michigan's Bill Daley was
next with 7.1 yards.
Graham edged out Hunchy Hoern-
schemeyer of Indiana for passing
honors. The Wildcat back has 22
completions in 45 tosses for a .489
percentage, while Hunchy has com-
pleted 35 in 82 tosses for .426.

By BO BOWMAN
Don Lund, called "Smoky" by his
friends, seems destined to become
one of the few Michigan men to re-
ceive nine athletic awards.
The big, blond Norwegian hails
from Southeastern High School in
Detroit. While in high school Don
played three years each of football
basketball and baseball. He holds
all-state and all-city laurels in prep
school.
Loves Swing Music
Don isn't only an athlete as he
was president of his senior class in
high school and is a member of the
Sphinx, Junior Honorary Society at
Michigan. Besides, a novelty among
athletes, Lund is an ardent lover of
dancing and swing music. During
the summer months he haunted the
night spots where popular orchestras
gave out with swing and jive.
When Don graduated from high
school-he was uncertain as to what
college to attend. Since he was an
excellent athlete many schools of-
fered him scholarships. Since he was
a Detroit boy and always under the
influence of the Maize and Blue,
Michigan became his choice.
Early in his high school career,
Don had decided that his future lay
in coaching. As perparation for a
coaching future Don entered the
University Physical Education

School, his present major. Although
not a scholar, his class work is above
average.
All-Around Athlete
Don's career at Michigan in ath-
letics has been a year-around con-
tribution to Wolverine success. In
the fall his running and great de-
fensive play on the gridiron have
brought acclaim from everyone. Al-
though play4ng with a mediocre bas-
ketball team last winter, he per-
formed well. Playing on Coach Ray
Fisher's baseball team last spring,
Don did a capable job in center-
field and was one of the team's lead-
ing hitters.
Being draft deferred because of a
knee ailment which he has had
since birth has been quite a blow to
this 198-pound giant. Lund, like a
true soldier, has borne his wartime
defeat with the same courage he
shows on the gridiron every Satur-
day during the fall.
Major Leaguers Hit
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-(A)-Com-
missioner K. M. Landis has put the
finger on. several major leaguers for
playing winter ball in California,
and in so doing he only is carrying
out the duties of his office, so any
criticism of the incident should be
aimed elsewhere.

events of the indoor season, is open

In Anan Arbor
'ARROW'
R at
State Street on the Campus

By JIM LEWY
Although war and graduation
robbed Michigan of many of its 1942-
4 swimming stars, Coach Matt Mann
appeared satisfied with the develop-
ment of his current squad which he
hopes "will keep up the reputation of
teams of the past."
Four lettermen who have returned
to form the nucleus of his squad, have
been working out for nearly a month
together with team candidates from
the service forces and other civilian
tryouts. The returning lettermen are
John McCarthy, Chuck Fries, Ace
Cory, and Mert Church.
Opinions around the Wolverine
camp indicate that the team will
carry on the Michigan traditions as
long as there is no interference with
activities of the armed forces here.
As per custom, thei swimming de-
partment will stage a swimming car-

nival in January. Teams composed
of Army and Navy men are being
formed to swim competitively against
one another as well as against other
opponents. A dual meet, bringing
these two rivals together, will high-
light the end of the swimming season.
Though most of the college teams
throughout the country are training
vigorously for the swimming meets
that are to follow, a note of scepti-
cism has been raised concerning the
number of - likely opponents that
Michigan will face this year. Because
of the transportation difficulties, the
teams will not be able to travel about
the country this year as in previous
times and thus, the number of meets
might be diminished. At any rate, the
Wolverine squad will have to face
opponents from the nearby schools.

Just a G. I. Seamstress.
If you're forever getting out the needle and thread,
here are some tips:
When a button comes off, sew it on well the
first time. A slip-shod job just means you'll have
to do it over again soon.
Make your next shirt an Arrow. Arrow but-
tons are attached with a patented stitch, which
"anchors" them to a shirt.
Check your size-you may be wearing too small
a shirt and therefore causing too great a strain
on the buttons and seams. The Sanforized label
in an Arrow shirt guarantees shrinkage no greater
than 1%-no danger of an Arrow ever getting
too small!

IT HAPPENED IN 1929:
Red Grange Given Credit for-
Startling Man-in-Motion Play

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-()-Har-
old (Red) Grange, Illinois iceman
who won about every football honor
there was two decades ago while
chilling Illini foes, is credited by
the Chicago Bears with introducing
the Man-in-motion play, now com-
mon to all T-formations.
Luke Johnsos of the Bears, says
that back in 1929, Grange was play-
ing left halfback for the Bears and
Carl Brumbaugh was at quarter. The
Bears were having some success with
a quick opening play in which
Grange faked to his right.
But the redhead finally tired of
rushing to his right on every play
and finally took an unannounced
excursion to his left. When he re-
turned to the huddle he told Brum-
baugh "Nobody covered me at all."
So Grange repeated his adventure
with Brumbaugh tossing him a pass
that was good for 20 yards. The
play has been a fundamental of
T-minded elevens ever since.
HARLES and Walter Brown,
identical twins from Westfield,
N. J., took especial delight in batter-
ing each other in last Saturday's
Yale - Princeton football game.
Charles, Princeton's roving center,
hurried back to help brother Walter,
Yale end, rise after one of their
collisions. Later Charles told his
Princeton mates in the huddle "I
only picked him up so that I could
knock him down again."

THE 1943, season will be remem-
bered a long time for its many

war-born oddities. And the best of
them, in our book, is that Southern
California was named to the Rose
Bowl less than 24 hours after taking
a 35 to 5 shellacking from March
Field.
