By BILL MULLENDORE
Daily Sports Editor
Students, cheerleaders, and the University band will combine
to form a rousing (we hope) sendoff parade for the Michigan
football squad tomorrow night as it entrains for Baltimore and
the Navy game Saturday.
The parade will form at 5:45 p.m. on the Union steps and
march down State Street to the Michigan Central station where
the 36-man squad, coaches, and other team officials will board
the train at 6:11 p.m. N,

The band will provide music for the demonstration, and the
cheerleaders will do their utmost to inspire enthusiasm with
yells, banners, torches, and other instruments of their art.
But to the student body will fall the principal task of demon-
strating to the men who represent Michigan on the gridiron that
the school as a'whole is behind their efforts 100 per cent as they
take the field against the undefeated Middies.
The demonstration, the first of its kind since the pre-war era,
gives every single student the opportunity to disprove the con-
tention recently advanced on the sports pages of The Daily that

student :upport of Michigan football has been considerably less
than what it should be.
We are anxious to be disproved. We definitely are not pleased
with the thought that thosewho attend the University, and are
privileged to have representing them one of the best football
teams in the nation, do not take an active interest in the per-
formance of that team.
So far, the evidence has all been the other way. Pep rallies
have been notable only by lack of pep shown. Cheering at foot-
ball games has been half-hearted and lackadaisical despite the
efforts of a valiant corps of cheerleaders.

Tomorrow night, thi students of the Umversity of Michigan
will have an opportunity to vindicate tliemselves. Their football
team is preparing to face ode of the toughest teams in the coun-
try. Their difficult task may be made just a trifle easier by the
knowledge that those at home are interested in the outcome.
In tomorrow's Daily, in response to several requests, we will re-
print all Michigan cheers and songs. Learn them. But it is not
enough to learn them only. The real challenge is to use them.
You, the students of Michigan, can prove your ability to do that
job tomorrow night. Why not do it?

Michigan-Navy Game Is

Nation s Second Top

Tilt

Michigan and Navy, two of the na-
tion's select "top ten," are scheduled
to clash in Baltimore Stadium Satur-
day in a game rated by the experts as
second in importance only to Army-
Notre Dame tussle carded for the
same afternoon.
The Middies, ranked fourth in this
week's Associated Press poll despite
an undefeated record, hold the edge
on the never too reliable basis of past
performance. But Michigan, holder
of seventh position nationally by vir-
Continuous from 1 P.M.
NOW

tue of an impressive 26-0 whitewash
of Minnesota, is not exactly an un-
derdog, either.
Middies Far from Impressive
*Som~e mighty queer things have
been going on at the Naval Academy
in the way of football this fall, and
most of them haven't been good.
Billed as the top team in the country
by the pre-season dopesters, the Mid-
dies have been far from impressive
most of the season.
So, despite a record of five wins
and tie with Notre Dame, the Navy
showing hasn't been up to expecta-
tions. The element of luck has been
a large factor in the Middies' success,
and those "in the know" claim it
can't go on forever.
210 Pound Line
But, even so, you can't discount a
line that averages a mere 210 pounds
from end to end, according to Michi-
gan scout reports, and one of the
most formidable arrays of backfield
talent ever assembled in one place.
While Army's duo of Doc Blanch-
ard and Glenn Davis may have been
the outstanding ball carriers Michi-
gan has met this season, even the
Army cannot boast any such collec-
tion as Bob Jenkins, Clyde Scott,
Pete Williams, Bob Kelley, B o b
Hoernschemeyer, George Sundheim,
Bob Minisi, and a host of others.
Jenkins, an All-American selection

last year, has been out with injuries
most of the season, but has regained
his normal stride, according to the
Michigan scouts. Scott, whose home
town is, significantly, Smackover,
Ark., also has had trouble with in-
juries, but should be in top shape
Saturday.
Williams, a brilliant prep per-
former, has been one of the surprises
Every ticket for the Michigan-
Ohio State football game, sched-
uled for Nov. 24, has been sold,
Howard Baker, who handles all
Michigan ticket sales, has an-
nounced.
That means that upwards of 85,-
000 people will form the second ca-
pacity crowd of the home season
for the traditional Buckeye clash
Baker said that tickets for the
Michigan-Purdue game, Nov. 17,
are still available. A crowd of
about 60,000 is in prospect for the
contest.
of the season, stepping into a first
string assignment in his first year of
"competition. Kelly w i ll be re-
membered as a star for Notre Dame,
while Hoernschemeyer, Sundheim,
and Minisi have all played against
Michigan in other uniforms.
Put them 6ll together, place a line
reputed to be the best in the nation
ahead of them, and you have a com-
bination certain to spell trouble for
any team. As yet, that combination
has not performed as well as hoped,
but the Michigan coaching staff is
mighty afraid Saturday may be the
day for just that.
Navy's Regular
Backs To Start
Michigan Game
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Nov. 6-(A)-
There was a rosy tinge on the Navy
Blue today when Head Coach Oscar
Hagberg announced that for the first
time this season his regular backfield
of three Bobs and one Clyde would be
ready totgo against Michigan at Bal-
timore Stadium Saturday.
Big Bob Jenkins, the Sailors power-
driving fullback who has seen little
action in Navy's first six games, looks
like the old free-wheeling rocket of
old in practice, Commander Hagberg
said.

Cage Frary
Today with
Flye jt
Michigan's basketball team, com-
peting in its first pre-season scrim-
mage, will face Romulus Air Base's
quintet at 3:30 today in Yost Field
House.
Bill Barclay, stepping in as head
coach in the absence of Bennie
Oosterbaan who is busy whipping
Wolverine gridders into shape for the
Saturday tussle with Navy, has
named seven men from which the
starting squad will probably be picked.
Heading the list are lettermen Walt
Kell and John Mullaney. Mullaney,
chosen as the most valuable player on
last year's cage crew, scored 83 points
in Conference competition, the sec-
ond. highest total for the Michigan
team.
Strack Returns
Dave Strack, star Maize and Blue
cager from '42-'44, back in the lineup
after a hitch with the Marines, is also
competing for a varsity berth. Named
honorary captain in his last year with
the Wolverines, Strack was welcomed
as a valuable addition to this season's
cage squad.
Glenn Selbo, Martin Feinberg, Bob
Harrison and Bill Walton complete
the roster of probable starters. Selbo
gained recognition handling t he
guard assignment for Western Michi-
gan the past two years, while Walton
held down the same berth for De-
Pauw of Indiana last season.
Coach Barcley declined to com-
ment on the outcome of today's clash
stating that it was only an informal
warm-up game for the boys and
would aid in determining the varsity
lineup for the opener against Central
State Teacher's College, nine days
hence.
Mullins Named Coach

"Michigan will have one of the best
hockey teams in its history this sea-
son," is the opinion of Coach Vic
Heyliger, now beginning his second
year as mentor of the Wolverine puck
squad. And from all indications, that
is an understatement.
Wolverine fans, long accustomed to
seeing their team finish on the short
end of the score, are in for a changej
of diet this year as Heyliger promises
a season of colorful, exciting and good
hockey - something missing at Mich-
igan for many years.
This season's team is entirely new
to the Michigan picture and is com-
posed for the most part of Canadians
who were practically born with
hockey sticks in their hands,
All Have Experience
Almost every member of the squad
has seen experience in amateur hoc-
key ranks.
Already the pucksters have demon-
strated their ability, having played
exhibition contests against the Cleve-
land Barons and the Detroit Red
Wings. Although they lost all three
contests - as was to be expected-
the Wolverines performed well, and

English or western saddles.

Coach Heyliger was well pleased with
the improvement shown.
20 Out for Squad
Unlike past years when Michigan
was fortunate to have a dozen men
turn out for practice, this year Coach
Heyliger's squad numbers 20. Michi-
gan will have three forward lines and
two or more defense lines, all of equal
strength. Among the forwards are
Walt Grant, Neil Celley, Dick Starrak,
Bob Arnett, Bill Jacobson and Al
Renfrew. At center are Walt Gacek,
Gordon McMillian, and Chet Kuznier.
Defensemen include Connie Hill,
Clem Cossalter, Bob Marshall, Ross
Smith, Jim Johnson, and possibly
Bob Derleth. Jack McInnes will be
in the nets for the Wolverines.
The tentative schedule to open
early in December includes four
games with Minnesota. Games with
many Canadian teams are also
planned.

W HEN our boys come home, there's
always a rush of Long Distance calls
to many parts of the country. They
mean a lot, those calls to home.
Oftentimes they're delayed because
the wires are crowded, and that's be-
cause we still lack circuits. Over two
million miles of new circuits are being
added by the Bell System just as fast as
they can be built. But it will take time.
