Kraeger Fit for Ohio

By BO BOWMAN
Tonight when the sun sets in the
West and the last notes of the "Vic-
tors" have died away everyone in Ann
Arbor will know whether or not
Michigan has regained the Big Tten
football crown lost ten years ago this
fall.
Until this evening all the loyal
Wolverine supporters can do nothing
but hope for a victory over the boys
from Ohio State. Will we be able to
celebrate this evening or will gloom
settle over Ann Arbor after the clos-
ing whistle? Only providence holds
the answer.
The 1943 Ohio-Michigan football
classic is the fortieth game of a ser-
ies which started in 1897. The ser-
ies now stands twenty-five victories
for Michigan, eleven for Ohio State,
and three have been ties. The most
recent of these was in 1941, the first
year Paul Brown became the Buck-
eye coach.
Great Football Rivalry
Few football rivalries have played
to as consistently as large crowds as
the Buckeyes and the Wolverines.
The average attendance per game is
67,000. This year due to war restric-
tions the University officials will be
well satisfied if 45,000 attend the
game.
The Wolverine coaches were very
much onedge last night, so much in
fact that they called a special squad
meeting for 9:00 p.m. last evening
Special permission was obtained from
the Navy Commandant to hold the
session in the Naval Barracks. '
Season Records Must Be Discounted
Coach Biggie Munn said yesterday,
"Season records for the Ohio-Michi-
gan game must be discounted entere-
ly and that the teams will start even
from the opening kick-off. The 'baby
bucks' as they have been called is a
gross misstatement; the true story is
that Ohio State linemen outweigh
the Michigan forwards considerably.
The Ohio tackles, for example, weigh
more than 210 pounds. It will be a
very tough game and the team that
gets the breaks will be the winner."
Thus concluded the only prediction
Coach Munn would make on today's
game.
Speedy Backs a Threat,
The success of Ohio State depends
upon how well they are able to use
the speed they possess in their fresh-
men backfield. Ernie Parks and Dean
Sensanbaugher is the double dose of
dynamite that will be a constant
threat to the Michigan flanks.
"Ohio State doesn't have a well
rounded attack," Coach Crisler said,
"but what the Buckeyes do they. do
IMICHIGAN I
I Now.Showing

well. They are perfectionists in de-
ception and blocking."
The big question mark in the Mich-
igan attack seems to be Elroy Hirsch.
Will he be able to play today and if
so how long will his arm be able to
stand the punishment it will receive
in so grueling a battle? If Hirsch is
unable to play at all the Michigan at-
tack naturally will have lost its num-
ber -one punch. Game captain Bob
Wiese and.Hirsch's replacement, Bob
Nussbaumer, more than likely will
have to carry the burden of the Wol-
verine ,attack.,,
Final Practice Light
; The Wolverines closed their prac-
tice yesterday with the usual light
workout. The last practice of the sea-
son consisted of passing, practicing
kick-off =plays, and lining up for the
all important point after touchdown
try.
A note of sadness was present as
the 1943 Wolverines ran from Ferry
Field to the showers. The whole
squad knew that this was the last
time they would all be together. They
knew too that the whole success of
their season depended upon victory
today. The Wolverines will be men-
tally right for the game this after-
noon. If they lose it will be to a bet-
ter. team.

Extent of Ex-Bears
Injuries Keeps Irish
Coaches Guessing
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 19-W)
-The extent of halfback Frank Maz-
nicki's injuries has kept the Notre
Dame coaching staff guessing this
week, just as shrewd Don Faurot,
coach of the Iowa Seahawks, ha
planned.
The Irish still will be guessing up
to kickoff time tomorrow when they
meet the Navy Preflight team before
an expected sell-out throng of 56,000.
Although Maznicki, the former
Chicago Bear who became the per-
cussion cap in Faurot's "Sliding T"
system this fall, was said to be defi-
nitely sidelined with a knee injury
earlier this week, he was included on
a 36-man traveling squad. He and
five other ex-professionals are the
shock absorbers of the undefeated
and untied Seahawks who vaulted
into the No. 2 spot behind Notre
Dame on the list of the nation's lead-
ing teams.
Ironically, Maznicki learned much
of his football under Coach Frank
Leahy at Boston College. Leahy
knows his abilities and respects them.
In addition to being the team's
leading scorer Maznicki also is a key
man in the Seahawks' pass defense.
Without him the Seahawks are be-
lieved to be vulnerable to an air raid.

VM'Wrestlers
Supported by
Coach Courtright
Puts Team Through
Intensive Workouts
By HANK MANTHO
With the football season now al-
most at an end, the wrestling squad
is ready to undergo intensive train-
ing for the coming campaign- and will
be strengthened by the addition of
one of their two returning letter-
men, John Green, heavyweight from
Pittsburgh and several other mem-
bers, previously on the football team.
Coach Courtright has not been
working his boys too intensively
since the start of practice three
weeks ago because he wanted them
to work out their kinks and get in
fair shape before the real work
started. However, after working out
on a few fundamentals, the squad
has shaped up very well and should
be ready for this stepped-up train-
ing. In an effort to get more out
of every week, Courtright has now
called practice sessions for Satur-
days beginning next week after the
last football game.
Jim Galles on Hand
Michigan's Jim Galles, 175-pound
Conference king of a few years back,
and attending the University in one
of the military programs, has se-
cured permission from his cominan-
ding officer and is now out for the
mat squad. According to his coach,
"he looks plenty good," and should
bolster the wrestling team, not only
with his presence in the matches,
but with the fine points that he is
teaching the other boys while out
for wrestling.
The matmen are four deep in some
of the weight divisions and Mr.
Courtright may have to switch some
of his men to different weights to
give them a chance to gain more
experience and to show their wares.
No Schedule Yet
There has been no definite wrest-
ling schedule drawn up yet, as all
of the teams who have been contact-
ed for matches prefer to wait until
Dec. 4, when the regular' schedule
meeting will be held in Chicago.
Michigan State informed the Maize
and Blue staff that they will not
have a wrestling team this fall and
that does away with two matches for
the Wolverines, as in the past, Mich-
igan maintained home and home
matches with the Spartans.
However, the coaching staff has
contacted Indiana, Ohio State, Pur-
due, Illinois, Northwestern and Penn
State in an endeavor to secure home
and home meets with them for the
coining year. But these schools also
prefer to wait until the Big Ten
meets in Chicago, Dec 4.
THE IRISH AGAIN:
Notre Dame F
To Conquer 1
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-(R)-Last
week, burdened with the flu, our chief
crystal gazer predicted correctly the
outcome of 31 in 35 football games.
Today he says he feels well. That
should be your warning.
Notre Dame over the Iowa Sea-
hawks-even if the Seahawk roster
had remained intact for this game
the nod would have gone to Notre
Dame on the theory that the sailors
are either too young or too old. The
game between the country's No. 1 and
No. 2 teams will attract 50,000.

Duke over North Carolina-Duke,
loser only to Navy by a 14 to 13 score,
should repeat its early season tri-
umph over North Carolina despite a
wholesale shift of Navy talent.
Colorado College over Colorado-
the Collegians have their best team
since the days of Dutch Clark and
definitely are bowl minded. They
aren't going to spoil an unbeaten rec-
ord at this late date.
Army over Brown-the rugged ca-
det lioe will apply the brakes for
Messrt. Savage atd Cokefair.
College of Pacific over San Fran-
cioco-Pop Stagg's eleven to romp
back into the limelight in this one.

WOMEN are strange creatures.
Now that they have gone into
many of the fields that men former-
ly kicked them out of, they claim
to have acquired new skills. Marion
Ford, a woman, the Daily's manag-
ing editor, is one of the new usurp-
ers in the field of sports writing.
Naturally, just to show her how
inferior she really is, the male
members of The Daily sports staff
haif-heartedly invted her to join
the board of experts in picking the
winners of the Saturday gridiron
Ex rything has gone just as was
unex pected. In the first week's poll
Black Marnie tied for first place
wi ith F'ed Delano, Michigan's ath-
letic publicity director, getting 15
out of 20 selections right. And she
improved on her pace last week by
mkissing on only two games, edging
out three other experts by one tilt.
That leaves her with an .825 per-
centage for two weeks, .050 points,
t+o games difference, ahead of the
rvst of the field including that guy
Concensus.
While the other experts claim
that they use scientific and mathe-
natical means to arrive at their
conclusions, Marnie brags that she
jus gueses. (We're coming in to
sc:ou about dropping our math
course, tomorrow, Dean Walter.)

Johnny Greene, the most out-
standing lineman in the Wisconsin
game last week, will be playing his
last game as a Michigan man
against Ohio State today. Johnny
will graduate this year.
Army Shows
Interest in
I-M Program
The first round of the Army intra-
mural basketball program was played
off last night in Waterman gym. The
playing time is divided into two peri-
ods with six teams playing in a per -
iod.
On the opening night of inter-com-
pany play the Army men showed par-
ticular interest in the newly inaugu-
rated intramural pro gram .The
courts were filled to capacity at all
times.
12 teams competed in the play. In
the first half of the evening Company
A-1 beat B-1, 25-16, C-2 over B-3.
(reserves) 22-9, and C-1 defeated
B-2, 34-16. Station Compliment got
a bye on the first round.
In the second half of the evening
D-1 defeated E-1. 20-14. F-1 beat
G-1, 17-16 in the last 40 seconds of
play, and F-2 was swamped by E-2,
42-15.
Wrestling and track events are al-
so included on the intramural pro-
gram. So far the track squad is ra-
ther small. The following men re-
ported: Chapman, Smith, Hashman,,
Oxford, Wagner, Shepard, Malloy,
Paulison, Cholfant, and Bodek and
Machurin who will act as coaches.
The men out for wrestling are
Chalfant, Perganment, Kizmikowicz,
Fletcher, Schaffer, Marton, Michno-
vicz, and Hushbeck.

WE NEVER knew much about
poetry before. Until we took
English 32, we thought that the Bill
Shakespeare who wrote Hamlet was
the same Bill Shakespeare who did
a lot of punting for Notre Dame
around 1936. And until we began
taking a course in Robert Browning,
we never appreciated the full power
of poetry.
However, we have been converted,
and have finally realized how much
better our predictions would be poet-
ically put. Therefore the following:
NORTHWESTERN-ILINOIS
The Illini must
Doff their hats
To the much
Better Wildcats.
MINNESOTA-WISCONSIN
If we had money
We would bet a fin
On the hard-hitting
Boys from Minn.
NOTRE DAM-SEAHAWKS
A quick blue spurt,
A glimpse of flame,
A vice that whispers,
Notre-Dame.
MISSOURI-KANSAS
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me
And better make room for one
more at the bar
'Cause we pick Mizouree.

olverie Basketball Team
impOressive in Practice Sessions

By DAVE LOEWENBEReG t
Yesterday afternoon found the
Wolverine basketball team engaged
in another hard scrimmage, this
time with Company G furnishing the
opposition. Both squads substituted
freely and no score was kept.
As assistant coach, Bill Barclay,
put it, "The Army boys were merely
testing the effectiveness of the Wol-
verine attack and trying to weed out
the weak points in the team's play."
Per usual, Coach Barcley divided
the squad into three (complete teams.
Bngw'sCage
KALAMAZOO, Mich., Nov. 19.-
(MP-The Michigan College basketball
season opens tomorrow night with
Western Michigan College facing the
Bunker Hill, Ind., Naval Base five.
Starting his 23rd season, Coach
Herbert W. (Buck) Read of Western

His purpose in doing this was to see
which team operated together with
the most efficiency. The first squad
was composed of Wayne Thompson
and Bill Seymour at the forwards,
Tom Paton at center, and Dave
Strack and Charley Ketterer at the
guards. This unit displayed some
nicely executed maneuvers and seem-
ed to be in excellent physical condi-
tion. Every one of the boys scored
at least once during the ten-minute
scrimmage.
Scoring Evenly Divided
On the number two roster were
Wayne Thompson and Dave Strack
at.the forwards, Bill Oren at center,
and Dick Schrider and John Leddy
at the guards. This unit was just
about as effective as the first one
in showing off their newly learned
plays. The scoring again was pretty
evenly divided.
In the third scrimmage Barclay
used Tom King and Herm Heunes-
sey at the forwards, Tom Paton at
center, and Charley Ketterer and
John Leddy held down the guard po-
sitions. This squad exhibited a fast-
er break than did the other teams,
but insofar as effectiveness was
concerned, -they were no more ef-
ficient than the 'other units.
Four Conclusions Apparent
Certain conclusions can be drawn
from yesterday's scrimmage: 1. The
Wolverines have from ten to fifteen
men who are capable of playing a
top brand of ball; 2. they can be
expected to display both the fast and
slow breaking style of play in their
games this season; 3. It is going to
be a very difficult assignment to
select five men who can actually be
classified as first string performers;
4. and finally, a successful cage sea-
son can be anticipated by Wolverine
followers.

THE NEW BANKING BY MAIL SYSTEM is a patriotic
device instituted recently by the Ann Arbor Bank for your
convenience and benefit. The depositor simply endorses his
check, made payable to the Ann Arbor Bank, and sends it
to the Bank together with a rail deposit slip. He will then
receive a "Mail Deposit Receipt" from the bank crediting his
account with the amount of his check.
This new mail deposit system has the advantage of saving
the depositor time, trouble and gasoline.
Today's wartime activities make great demands on us all.
For your own benefit, we urge you to make full use of our
"'banking by ail" system.
