Mixed reactions greeted the news to-
day of a proposed five-year Rose

Wolverine backfield to become one
of the best fullbacks in the country.
Respected for his driving, spin-
ning action from the tailback slot,
Wiese skyrocketed to fame in his
very first game as a Wolverine
when he took over for All-Ameri-
can Bob Westfall at the outset of
the 1942 season. As 4. sophomore
Bob played the full 60 minutes in
his first appearance at Michigan
stadium and was instrumental in
Michigan's upset of Great Lakes.
For the remainder of that season
Bob spinned, bucked and literally
smashed his way into the top spot
among ground-gainers of the Wol-
verine squad of that year. Along
with the "seven oak posts" the 1942
squad rose to national prominence,
only to be humbled in the final game
of the season by Ohio State, 21-7. It
was Bob Wiese who scored Michigan's
only touchdown in that encounter.
In 1943 Wiese was moved to the
quarterback spot to make room for
Bill Daley who had been transferred
to Michigan by the Navy. As field
general of the 1943 squad Wiese
gained the respect of fans and sports-
writers throughout the nation.
Bob returned to fullback for a
brief period in 1944 prior to his en-
trance into the Navy. It was dur-
ing this season that he was award-
ed the Big Ten Conference Award
for outstanding scholarship among
athletes.
As a high-school sensation in
Jamestown, N. D., Wiese played an
outstanding brand of football at his
favorite backfield position. When he
came to Michigan as a Freshman in
1941, his 6'2" 195 lb. frame, along
with some real determination, earned
him recognition as the most im-
proved Freshman of that season.
Prior to his injury against Illi-
nois last week, Bob had proven
himself to be the great fullback
that he always was. He has been
an invaluable asset as the key man
in Fritz Crisler's deceptive spin-
ning plays and was certainly missed
in the second half-of the Illinois
game.
As the Wolverines n'umber one
kicker he now stands third among
Big Nine booters with an impres-
sive average of 41.1 yds. Bob has
carried the ball for big gains several
times this season and proved to be
the big gun in both the Northwestern
and Illinois games.
Wiese is an outstanding student in
the engineering school and is a mem-
ber of Michiguama, the Michigan
honorary society. During four years
at Michigan he has accumulated a
record of which any student could
wellrbe proud of. He is certainly an
outstanding example of the all-
around prowess of great Michigan
athletes.
Statistics Show
Chappuis Tops
Big Nine Backs
CHICAGO, Oct. 29-P)-Western
Conference line-battering is back to
pre-war form with the husky lads who
smash for the open spaces stealing the
show from the passing fancy-dans.
Big Nine statistics released today
showed that among the busier ball-
carriers, a dozen average more than
five yards every time they set sail
with the ball.
Michigan's Bob Chappuis still
heads the over-all offensive depart-
ment with a four-game average of
134.5 by passing and rushing. Chap-
puis has carried the ball 46 times for
278 yards, a six-yard average, and has
completed 18 of 29 passes for 260
yards.
Statistics promise to make Satur-
day's tangle between first-place
Northwestern and threatening Ohio
State, in the words of Wildcat Coach
Lynn Waldorf, "one of the best of-
fensive games this season."
Northwestern's leather-totin' trio
of Vic Schwall, still the league's top
scorer with 26 points although the
Wildcats had a non-league game
last Saturday, Art Murakowski and
Frank Aschenbrenner' have rolled up
592 yards on 99 attempts in three
Big Nine games.
Ohio State, which came to life with
a 39-9 win over Minnesota, has gained
402 yards in 65 rushes by only three
players, Bob Brugge, Jerry Krall and
Joe Whisler. Brugge, who started on
the 1944 Buckeye team, found his old
form against the Gophers to hoist
his rushing average, on 18 tries, to
8.3 yards.

Wrestling moves into the Wolverine
sports picture today as Coach Cliff
Keen announced that all prospective
grapplers, regardlesspof previous ex-
perience should report to the Yost
Fieldhouse at 4 p.m. this afternoon.
Because Coach Keen is still busy
with his football duties, the squad

I-M Speedball,
Tennis Results
In the quarter final round of the
Intramural fraternity speedball
championship at Ferry Field yester-
day Kappa Sigma dropped a fighting
Sigma Phi Epsilon team 13-11, Delta
Tau Delta defeated Psi Upsilon, 9-5,
and Theta Chi eliminated Lambda
Chi Alpha from further competition,
9-5.
The Kappa Sigs had to battle all
the way to down a stubborn Sig Ep
squad. With the lead changing from
side to side continually, the end of
the first half found the Sig Eps out
in front, 6-5.
Kappa Sigs Rally
Scoring duties were shared by Bill
Scafe, Harry Anderson, and Bill Mi-
kulich. When the Sig Ep ground
work refused to click, they took to
the air to score most of their points.
In the second half the Kappa Sig
machine was set in high gear and
began to move under the spark and
drive of Jim Hesler. He evidently had
mercury on his heels because the
whiz kids kicked across nine tallies
for the victors.
Sig Eps Defeated
Not until the last two minutes of
play was the outcome of the game
decided. The ball alternated between
Hesler and Dave Dunkle before being
kicked through the goal posts for the
winning two point margin for the
Kappa Sig aggregation.
The fourth contest, scheduled be-
tween Sigma Chi and Zeta Psi to de-
termine the champions of the sev-
enth fraternity league, was post-
poned until Thursday. Yesterday's
winners will clash next Tuesday in
the semi-final round.
SAE on Top, 15-6
Chalking up a pair of touchdowns
and a safety Phi Delta Theta piled
up a 15-0 lead and then stopped Sig-
ma Alpha Epsilon's late bids to trip
the SAEs, 15-6, in the annual home-
coming touch football game between
the two fraternities Saturday morn-
ing in the SAE Bowl.
All the scores came on pass plays.
It was the third straight win for the
Phi Delts over the SAEs and assured
them possession of the "Very Little
Brown Jug," the ancient victory
trophy, for another year.
Upwards of 500 spectators thronged
the sidewalks surrounding the game
and kept up a constant din for their
favorites. The play-by-play account
of the gamewas broadcast over the
SAE public address system.

Playing left tackle for Michigan
this year is big. 206 pound Bob Der-
leth, fromMarquete, Michigan.
It's the same Bob Derleth who, in
1942, the year of Julius Franks and
Merv Pregulman and rest of the 7
Oak Posts, made the varsity squad
in his first year of organized football
competition. Coming down from the
Upper Peninsula to enter the Engi-
neering School, Bob was spotted one
day in a PEM class by an eagle-eyed
instructor who convinced him that
his athletic future was brighter in
football than in (_ymnnastic-s.
Though listed as a tackle, even
'close students 'of the Pigskin game
have a tough time when actually
trying to "get a fix" on him on the
field. With Fritz Crisler's constant-
ly shlifting defensive formations
it's not unusual to see Bob play-
ing end on the four man line and
perhaps guard when the whole
team is pulled up for a goal-line
stand.
Speaking of goal line stands, Bob
was asked just what a defensive line-
man does when he knows that all
eleven of the opposing players can be
expected to make a personal appear-
ance in his vicinity on the next play.
His formula is to go after all eleven
at once. It must work for seldom has
a team been able to score through
the Michigan lime when inside the
five yard marker.
But football gives way to hockey
and here again Robert has excelled
having played defense on the '42-
'43 team and then being chosen
captain for the following year.
IOnce more Bob came into varsity
competition with no previous expe-
rience.
With an engineering degree al-
ready tucked inder his scholastic
belt and another in the offing Bob is
finding the pace so swift that he has
given up a return to the hockey wars
this winter.
Bob spent a year in training in
the Naval Pre-flight program.
There will be a meeting of the
"M" Club at 7 :15 tonight in the
Michigan Union (see bulletin

the Union billiard room all day to-
day to give tips and inspiration to
the University's embryo Willie

will give a demonstration of the un-l

EAST LANSING, Oct. 20_(/P-
Head Coach Charley Bachman let it
be known today that his Michigan
State College football team will put
more stress on its passing game for
the remainder of the season.
"We've got to throw a lot more
passes if we're going to win the rest
of their ball games," the Spartan
mentor told his squad as it prepared
for the game with the University of
Kentucky at Lexington Saturday.
"Our running game is operating
fairly well, but the opposition is be-
ginning to jam up the middle. When
they start to do that, we're going to
pitch."

Chappuis Threatens
Graham's Record.
According to a report by the
United Press, Bob Chappuis, who
has totaled 586 yards in Big Nine
games to date, has a good chance of
surpassing Otto Graham's 1942 Con-
ference yards gained record. Graham
had 862 yards to his credit that year.
Chappuis, with three Big Nine
games remaining, has already ex-
ceeded Graham's 1942 total of 148
yards gained on the ground, hav-
ing 278 yards to his credit. Chappuis
has averaged 134.5 yards per game.
