WVEDNIESDAY, NGVnMREE. 7, 1945 THE ICHIGAN DAILY W--T- - - -_--- Everybody-,.f Let-'s .All See Jf fe1 6 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? -L 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 W I LCOX's ORIDINGSTABLE Horses for hire and boarded. 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.
