RETURN OF THE NATIVE:

After Long Leave of Absence

After a three year and seven month
leave of absence for service in the
Navy, Cliff Keen returns to the
Michigan campus in his former ca-
pacity as varsity wrestling coach.
Coach Keen is a bit pessimistic as
there is a great lack of veteran mate-
rial signed up for this year's squad.
At the present time, thirty men are
out for the team, several of which
have never wrestled before.
Prospects Same as 1925
Mr.. Keen compares this year's
prospects to those of the year that
wrestling was first introduced on this
campus. In the' fall of 1925, only four
men reported to the coach on the
first. day of wrestling practice. After
considerable work and persuasion,.
which included, an all-campus tour-
nament, the grappling, squad boasted

eighty supporters. None of the mem-
bers of that team ever had wrestling
experience, but three of them, Russ
Sauer, Al Watson, and Bob Hewitt
made the Olympic wrestling team in
1928. Another member of this con-
tingent, Ed Don George, became the
National Professional Heavyweight
Champion.
This season's schedule will be
worked out at a meeting in Chicago
the first week in December. A tenta-
tive list of opponents includes Michi-
gan State College, from outside the
Conference, and Big Ten :teams rep-
resenting Indiana, Purdue, Ohio
State. Northwestern, Wisconsin, and
Illinois. A match for the grapplers is
expected to be scheduled before the
Christmas holidays.

from left half, in his new fullback
role.
In the line, Crisler is expected to
stick to his lineup of Don Hershberger
and Art Renner at ends, George John-
son and Gene Hinton at tackles, .Dom
Tomasi and either John Lintol or
Stu Wilkins at guards, and Harr,
Watts at center.
For Minnesota, the starting back-
field will probably find Merlin Kis-
pert at quarter, Wayne Williams and
Johnny Lundquist at the halfback
positions, and Vic Kulbitski at full.
The Gopher line will have Johnny
Lundin and Bob Carley as ends, Larry
Olsonoski and Johnny Westrum at the
tackles, guards Bob Graiziger and
Bob Hanzlik, and center Dick Van
Dusen.
If those lineups do take the field,
the Gophers will have an approxi-I

mate four-pound weight advantage
in the line and a 10-pound edge in
the backfield. The Minnesota for-
ward wall averages 192 to Michigan's
188, and the backfield weighs in at
185 to the Wolverines' 175.
The probable lineups:

MINNESOTA
Lundin (176)

Spa rtans Face
Missouri Today
EAST LANSING, Nov. 2-(JP)-No
changes in the regular Michigan State
College'lineup were made by coach
Charley Bachman today for the Spar-
tans' clash Saturday here with the
University of Missouri eleven.
State will probably depend on pass-
ing considerably in the sixth renewal'
of the Spartan-Tiger series in which
State has won two of five previous
contests. The Missourians are ex-
pected to stick with the ground offen-
sive which gave them a 19-0 victory
over Nebraska last week and will enter
the contest as slight favorites, hold-
ing a weight advantage both in the
line and in the backfield.
The Spartans' aerial game was bol-
stered this week by the return to ac-
tion of-Bob Ludwig, ace passer

statistics through games of October

Gopher Coach's Winning Streak Snapped
At 21 Games by Ohio State's Grid Crew

I

Just the other day we were casting
a few side remarks apropos to the
difficulties of football forecasters in
this completely wacky season. Today,
we find ourselves in a position to join
the ranks of those disillusioned souls
who must, for reasons too obscure
to discover, say eenie, meenie, flip a
lead slug, and come up with assorted
probable winners of sundry football

More than that, the Western Confer-
ence has so far provided so many
forecasters with advanced cases of
delirium tremors that one more will
hardly create more than a ripple of
excitement.
So, off we go on this week's games.
But before we start, a word of warn-
ing. We are not responsible for lost
bets, broken homes, or suicides on
the part of anyone foolish enough to
take our selections seriously. We

be as bad as the Gophers looked last
week, and Michigan's yearling-laden
squad is liable to do almost anything.
Both teams pack plenty of power and
scoring punch. Mainly for senti-
mental reasons, we'll take the Wol-
verines, but not by more than one
touchdown.
WISCONSIN-IOWA - The two
weak sisters of the Western Confer-
ence meet in what might turn out to
be a red-hot thriller. Iowa, although

its upset win over Minnesota, ought
to take this one handily.
INDIANA - BUNKER HILL - It
would be just like the Hoosiers to
drop this one, just to make the Big
Ten race a little dizzier. But we will
prcceed under the theory that form
will prevail and that Bo McMillin's
title-bound lads will win this one as
they please.
ILLINOIS-GREAT LAKES - Illi-
nois has to win a game sometime, and

By RUTH ELCONIN
With the Little Brown Jug at stake
today, the feud between Michigan and
Minnesota takes on added interest
since it is the first time in three years'
that the Wolverines will face a Go-
pher squad with Bernie Bierman at
the helm.
Up until last week, Bierman boasted
a record of 21 consecutive wins, but
Ohio State came up with a 20-7 up-
set to snap the Minnesota streak.
Before the Buckeye contest the Go-

honors under Fritz Crisler, Wolver-
ine coach, sparked Bierman's teams.
Throughout the 1939 campaigns,
when Tom Harmon was copping hon-
ors for Michigan, Bierman's teams
were the only ones to keep "Old 98"
from scoring any touchdowns.
Joins Marines
After leading the East team against
the West in the annual Shrine game
of January 1, 1943, the Gopher coach
joined the U. S. Marines. He received
his discharge last year and returned

Since both teams have a chance to.
win the 1945 Conference champion-
ship, the outcome of today's contest
will have an important bearing on
the Big Ten race. Many sports ex-
pcrts are declining to predict a vic-
tory for either team, and to most ob-
servers it appears to be anybody's
game.

ster freshmen and others ineligi-
