SATURDAY,:NOV. 13, 1943 THE MICHIGAN DAILY YF AGU TU$E Wolverines, Badgers Battle Before 15,000 Over. Here Today Hirsch and Kraeger Out Of Lineup Nussbauiner, Wells To Replace Ailing Guard and Back (Continued from Page 1) much he had learned in the last year, but it also eliminates any chance he had of surpassing Tony Butkovich's Big Ten scoring record. At present Hirsch has scored 42 points while Autkovich, who finished his season with Purdue when he was transfered, has tallied 78. Another causualty on the Crisler coached team is regular starting guard, George Kraeger. The ailing guard will be replaced in the 'starting line-up by Rex Wells, the former Idaho State star who place kicked three times for the Wolverines in the Indiana game. Five Ex-Badgers Start The five Marine transfers from Wisconsin who will definitely start for the Varsity are Jack Wink at quarter, Wally Dreyer at right half, Bob Hanzlik at left tackle, Johnny Gallagher at left guard, and Fred Negus at center. Hank Olshanski is probable starter at right end, al- though Art Renner might possibly get the call. Bob Rennebohm, who, like Qlshanski, played on last year's Wisconsin team, might also start and will certainly see a lot of action. Rudy Smeja, starting left end and two year letterman, will be acting captain for today's contest at the re- quest of Captain Paul White who was transferred after the Minnesota game. Other Wolverine starters are Bob Derleth at the other tackle spot, Bob Wiese at fullback and Bob Nuss- baumer in' the injured Hirsch's left half slot. Badger's Revamp Lineup Wisconsin will probably start with an almost entirely new backfield from that of last Saturday. In an attempt to rejuvenate his squad, Coach Stuhldreher has shifted little* Larry Heinz, who turned in two ex-' cellent perfoiance;uagainst Purdue and Northwestern, from right to left half and Don Kindt, after being out several weeks with . leg injury, will get the nod at right half. Hugo Vogt, a transfer of 'several weeks frorn De-_ 1 Pauw, will do the signal calling, with. either Ray Dooney- or John Kuenzler at full. The Badger line will probably be the same that faced Northwestern last week, with center Joe Keenan being nominated as acting captain.

Expert Picks Ohio State OverIl1nois By HAROLD CLAASEN NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-(P)-Our chief crystal gazer has been ill the past week with the flu and the fol- lowing football selection are offered with some reservation: Notre Dame over Northwestern -Frank Leahy, Notre Dame Coach, says he discovered this sunmner during preparations for the Chi- cago All-Star game just how good Northwestern's Otto Graham is. He probably found out at the same time how to stop Mr. Graham. The contest is a sellout of 48,500.

TAKING I EASY: By ED ZALENSKI Daily Sports Editor t s 1 1 1 Irish Favored Over Inspired Wildcat Team EVANSTON, ILL., Nov. 12.-()- Chapter eight in the story of the greatest Notre Dame football team since Knute Rockne's undefeated and untied eleven of 1930 will be written before a sellout crowd of 48,000 to- morrow when the undefeated and un- tlied Irish play Northwestern-a team geared to the highest possible degree for an upset. Notre Dame's seven victims this season will say it can't be done, and even the odds-makers like the Irish by 20 or 21 points-but that in itself is a tribute to these Northwestern Wildcats, who have lost only one game all season and have one of football's finest passers and all- around players in halfback Otto Graham. Notre Dame can go without An- gelo Bertilli, the new Marine. Coach Frank Leahy knows that now, after the splendid way in which 18-year- old Johnny Lujack conducted him- self against Army last week. Northwestern must rely almost en- tirely on Graham's passing arm, which hardly assures the Wildcats of a close score, let alone a victory. But if the durable Otto goes like he did against a weak Wisconsin team last week, when he scored foutr touchdowns, passed for a fifth and kicked three extra points, the Wild- cats can make a game of it. Naval Officers Begin Bowling Great enthusiasm was shown by the Naval Architects when 50 of the 80 officers stationed on campus signed up to participate in the bowl- ing league which will start Monday night. Ensign Dick Hauserman is running the league whkh wil be divided into 10 teams of five men each, Six teams will bowl on Mondy. evening and four teams Tuesday evening. Ensign Hauserman, Ensign Hank Stone, Lt (j. g.) Frank Drucker, Eh- -sign Harry Leasture, En'sign' Harry Crosby, Ensign Bill Shelmerdin, f- sign Hank Carr, Ensign Sandy Ta- tum, Lt. (Q. g.) John Ammermas and Ensign ill Richardson will be cap- tains of the teams. Ann Arbor High School's grid- ders defeated Jackson High last night in a thrill-packed 20-13 con- test to annex the Five-A Leakue title and put themselves in the running for the mythical state championship. The victory gave Ann Arbor a record of eight vic- tories against no defeats for the season, the first time since 1910. -... - I I i CAGE SQUAD GAINS POLISH: Works onFastBreak for OpenerDec. 4 MICHIGAN Smeja Fanulik Gallagher Negus Wells Derleth Olshanski Wink Nussbaumer Dreyer Wiese LE LT LG C RG RT RE QB LH RH FB INDIANA Weber Doar Zych Keenan Rowe Prins Laubenheimer Vogt Heinz Kindt Kuenzler By BILL MULLENDORE Looking better than in any previ- ous session, the Michigan basketball squad turned in another long hard workout yesterday afternoon on the Yost Fieldhouse court. The team showed plenty of fire and spirit while working through several passing and defensive drills and topped off the evening with a lively scrimmage in which all squad members partici- pated. Assistant Coach Bill Barclay, who is handling the cagers while Head Coach Benny Oosterbaan looks after his football duties, was well pleased with his charges at the end of the t I. 'I day. "They have certainly shown great. improvement for having prac- ticed only two weeks," he commented. The squad was again divided into three teams ,one an all-freshman ag- gregation and the other two compos- ed of the men with previous experi- ence. Captain-elect Wayne Thomp- son, six foot two inch forward from Kalamzoo College, stood out in scrim- mage along with Bob Se'mour and Bob Stevens. Tom King, a Marine trainee from Michigan State College, also drew favorable comment from those on thevsidelines. Unlike yes- terday's scrimmage, all three teams employed the Hoosier style of offense, and Coach Barcley indicated that the Wolverines would utilize the fast break during the season. Barcley also emphasized that all positions on the squad were still wide open and that none of the teams participating in the scrimmage could be regarded as the starting lineup. There are still three weeks remaining before the season's opener against Western Michigan, scheduled for De- cember 4, which will give the coaches ample opportunity to select the final squad. Aside from the curtain raiser, which will be a home game, the schedule for the season is still indef- inite. Two or three other games have been tentatively booked and others are being arranged. The Western OPEN for DANCING 1. P.M. -DA I LY 3 P.M. SUNDAY Sandwiches and Fountain Service Conference card has not been pub- lished as yet. At the close of yesterday's gruelling three hour session a practice period was called for Sunday morning. This indicates plenty of hard work for the cagers and a determination on the part of, the coaching staff to give Michigan a winning team. Old Michigan Grid Star .dies Word was received here yesterday that L. H. (Joe) Maddock, former University of Michigan star tackle of the famous point-a-minute teams, and University of Utah grid coach, died Wednesday of a lung ailment. Maddock was a native of East Jor- dan, Mich. and played football at Albion for one year before coming to Michigan in 1902 and '03. Besides football, he also earned a track letter in '03. Fielding H. Yost, his coach here, called him one of the best offensive tackles he has ever seen, and recalled that Maddock was often used as a fifth back when Michigan had the ball. Ohio State Meets Illinois COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 12.-WA)- Ohio State's battling bucks, West- ern Conference kings of 1942 but mowed down by three straight league foes this season, wind up their at-home schedule tomorrow by trying to break into the circuit's vic- tory column against a speedy Uni- versity of Illinois squad. LA MOTTA BEATS ZIVIC NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-(YP)-For five rounds tonight, Fritzie Zivic was on the way to giving old pop time and young Jake LaMotta a sound whipping, but Jake had too much youth and went on to win. 17 * Challenge to Froshwo ien,... THIS COLUMN is headed "Challenge to Froshwbmen" almost solely for the purpose of catching the eye of any unsuspecting females Who may have the courage to glance at the sports page. It doesnot inplyanything else. The facts are presented on purely an unbiasedbasis1and ;ceds of '47: are encouraged to express themselves, preferably in writing. What is this all about? There is a move on foot under the 1lipetus of the Michigan M: Club to, revive one of Mjchiah's oldest traditions the wearing of the Maize anrdBlue pot by the class of "47. ;owe er, because of the lack of Michigan males on campus,, the M Finbhs turned to the coed to help maintain this tradition. Ross Hume, Varsity trackman and Big Ten Indoor ConferenceI mile champion, who has been sounding out coeds on the plan, expresses the club's view very simply. "EACH DAILY PAPER cites some new task taken over by the wopmen due to the departure of the drafted males. Even on our own, cam-, pus this is becoming increasingly apparent. Raking leaves, wor.ing in the Union and hospitals-these are only a few of the jobs that coeds have taken over. Now, it is the coed's opportunity to take over' another job vacated by Michigan men. "In years gone by the Michigan campus has been dotted each fall with the Maize and Blue 'pots' of freshmen. They have gone to war. One' of the oldest Michigan traditions is in danger of decay. This fall the frosh coeds have the opportunity of taking over this ancient tradition ...- OUR VIEWS on the wearing of "pots" by coeds may or may not differ with the M Club's. Taking It Easy is only acting as an intermediary between the club and freshwomen. Well, coeds of the class of '47, what are your views? What do you think of the tradition? What do you think of Michigan coeds taking over the wearing of the "pots?" Do coeds object to wearing the "pot?" Does the tradition mean enough to them to carry it on? What are your answers to these questions? Help us solve a problem by answering these questions frankly. If you have ideas on the subject, put them down on paper and either mail or bring your letters to The Daily sports editor. Last fall the Wolverines, an organization formed by officers of the Michigan Union, carried on a campaign to have freshmen wear "pots" in an effort "to revive a dying tradition and inject new life into Michi- gan spirit."
