VWEDNESDAY, NOV. 22, 1944 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Starting Eleven Doubtful for Buckeye Fray Wolverines Oppose Romulus Air Base Five Friday Night in Season's Opening Cage Tilt Bauman Ponsetto, and Derricotte Have Injuries Tickets for Army-Navy Game Completely Sold Out in One Day BALTIMORE, NOV. 21-.4-Swamped under what Chairman Frank W. Wrightson termed "literally tons of mail," the Maryland War Finance Committee declared today, just one full day after the mail order ticket sale began, that the Army-Navy football classic Iibc. 2 was a sellout. The announcement and request that the public "not mail any further. applications as they will be returned" climaxed a mad rush for war bonds -prerequisite to ticket purchase-and floods of mail containing bond receipts, ticket applications and money orders. More than 15,000 applications had been received and Leonard Engel, jProvident Savings Bank Treasurer who is in charge of processing ticket requests, 'aid enough others were either in the postofticepor in the mils to over-subscribe an expected 17.000-22,000 ticket allotment for general sale. By late afternoon the estimated total applications had jumped to 33,0000 with more coming. Wrightson said he had "not the slightest idea" of how much in bonds the game would be worth to the Sixth War Loan Chippewas Engage Michigan Saturday Facing teams which they decisively whipped during last year's campaign, the Michigan cagers open their 1944- 45 season against the Romulus Air Base quintet Friday evening and begin their home stand against the Central Michigan Chippewas the following night. A probable Wolverine starting line- up of Ted Berce, Keith Harder, Don Lindquist, Walt Kell and John Mul- laney will meet the Flyers at Romu- lus for the second time in history. If they are to maintain a perfect! record against the Romulus quintet,' they must conquer a team composed of such stalwarts as former Wolver- ine forward Bob Grissen and Chuck Smith, Central Michigan guard three years ago. The big Romulus squad will have no returning veterans from the outfit which last year bowed to the Wol- verines by a 42-30 count. This defeat came at the hands of an all-civilian Michigan team. The contest was closer than the score indicates, with the Wolverine squad on the short end of a 16-13 score at half time. Saturday's home opener against Central Michigan echoes last sea- 1 1 1 r! t s . t son's Field House curtain-raiser when the Chippewas invaded Ann Arbor with high hopes and left with a 51-28 setback at the hands of Coach Ben Oosterbaan's fast-break- ing quintet.

The' coming season's play, however, will again be characterized by the customary Wol- verine slow break, with an occasional digression when the opportunity pre Ohio State Will Liter Contesl as Favorites sents itself.

I' 4 , r IiFKC OAZ,,vC 01 AS WE COME to the end of another grid campaign, the Army-Navy game to be played Dec. 2, looms as the outstanding football attraction of the year, and the outcome of this battle will be the deciding factor in crowning the - national champions. Both Army and Navy have power- ful teams, as they are loaded with college stars from all over the coun- try. Army has rolled over all opposi- tion with mammoth scores this year and this ball club is being touted as not only the best team in Cadet his- tory, but also the best in the nation to date. The Cadets have an almost com- plete plebe team which has sup- plied most of the offensive attack his year, but it has been the custom of Lt.-Col. Earl Blaik, Army coach, to start a game with his veterans, and then let the plebes play most of the game. To attest to the vast amount of material available at the beck and call of the Army coaching staff is the case of George Troxell and Bob Woods, -both good backs last year, and although eligi- ble this season, competition was too keen and they dropped out. At present, Army occupies the first rung in the national ratings, but what they have done to merit this honor so unanimously is beyond me. In the first place, they have played teams which didn't belong on the same 'field with them, as per usual. Then when they run roughshod over their opposition, they win wide ac- claim. Duke faced the 'Cadets and made them battle every inch of the way before they finally capitulated to Army,. 27-7. When Army routed a not - too - good squad from Notre Dame, 59-0, their reputation for the year was definitely settled. Should the Army beat Navy in their scheduled encounter, there will be no doubt whatsoever as to their national caliber on the part of the experts. Howbver, most people overlook the fact that Navy has already been beaten twice this year. I'M NOT disputing the fact that both of these football squads are; good, but they could play tougher; schedules as a further test to their abilities. It is also almost a certainty that Army and Navy will dominate the eastern intercollegiate and prob- ably the national grid picture for the next three or four seasons. Navy, this season, has many fine players, such as Ralph Ellsworth from Texas, Bobby Jenkins from Alabama, Dick Ambrogi from Penn, Fred Earley from Notre Dame, and many others. To this star-studded group will be added next se.ason's crop of Bob Kelly, Notre Dame, Bob Hoernschmeyer and George Sund- heim from Indiana, along with Tony Minisi of Penn, and several others. While Army will lose such stal- warts as Doug Kenna, Tom Lom- bardi, Dale Hall, Bob St. Onge and Joe Stanowicz through graduation. However, the Cadets will retain Doe Blanchard, Dean Sensan- baugher, Max Minor and Al Tucker in the backfield. In the line, De- witte Coulter, Barney Poole and Herschel Fuson will return. In addition to these men, Army will also have some of the top college players in' the country coming to the Point. actions for both coaches and players have a pretty strong aversion to that portion of the anatomy these days. Three members of the Wolverine starting lineup are sporting ankle injuries at the moment, and with the Ohio State game, the most important of the season coming up Saturday the appearance of all three is doubt- ful. The trio includes right tackle Clem Bauman, quarterback Joe Pon- setto, and tailback Gene Derricotte, all important cogs of the Michigan machine. Important Men Hurt Ponsetto and Bauman suffered their injuries in the Wisconsin game Saturday and were removed from the contest. Derricotte got the same. treatment while leading the Wolver- ines to victory over Illinois, and pro- ceeded to aggravate the difficulty in his brief three-play appearance last Saturday. Loss of anyone or all of the trio1 Residence Halls Arrange Slate Deciding to carry on an intramural sports program as vigorous as ever, four representatives from the men's residence halls met Monday night to draw up a schedule of events. These men, meeting with Mr. P. A: Ostafin, decided that the four houses would participate in basketball, ping. Liong, chess, and possibly bowling tjurnaments. ..__., .. .., . , ...... .. ., r... ....w.......w.. rr i.va i at 210 pounds, is the heaviest man in the line, has been a tower on de- fense all season and has done heavy duty as a blocker as well. As the Wolverine reserves are thinnest at the taclkle posts, his loss would be keenly felt.1 No less valuable to the teamuare Ponsetto and Derricotte. As quart- erback, Ponsetto has done virtually all of the signal calling as well as leading interference and backingup the line. In addition, he has booted 21 extra points in 26 attempts. Der- ricotte has emerged as Michigan's first string tailback, reaching his peak performance in the Illinois game. His hard running and en- tirely capable passing have been val- uable assets to the Wolverine attack. Moreover, he is a good blocker and tackler. New Starters Listed If these men should be unable to play, they will probably be replaced by Art LeRoux or Don Fate at tackle, Howard Yerges at quarterback, and Bill Culligan at tailback. LeRoux was a starter in the Wolverine open- er against Iowa Pre-Flight but suf- fered an injury and was replaced by Milan Lazetich, who has been there ever since. Yerges, who won a letter at quart- er at Ohio State last fall before be- ing transferred to Michigan by the V-12 program, replaced Ponsetto in the Wisconsin game and turned in an adequate performance. Culligan has alternated with Derricotte most of the season at tailback. 0 Thursday and Friday 0 A Boy - A Horse - and a Dog! Thoroughbreds ALL! ti'1 Continuous Shows Daily from 1:30 P.M.
