FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1946 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Preparrng~ _________________________________________________________________________________________ I I Hockey Team Preparing For 21-Game Schedule FOR THE. RECORD ... By ARCHIE PARSONS, Daily Sports Staff Capacity Throng To See Describing it as one of the tough- est schedules a school has ever faced, Coach Vic Heyliger yesterday an- nounced the 1946-47 hockey schedule. Final details have not as yet been completed, but the Wolverines have a 21 game card (including contests with leading college teams from both the United States and Canada. Among the more formidable oppon- ents are California, Colorado Col- lege, Dartmouth,rMinnesota, Toronto and Queens. In addition Heyliger's sextet will face several amateur On- tario sextets. Wings Open Season Marking the earliest beginning date in Michigan history, the Wol- verines will- open in spectacular fashion by engaging the Detroit Wings under Jack Adams in an ex- hibition contest, November 26 at the Colosseum. Highlighting the season will be the jaunt to the Pacific Coast where the Maize and Blue will tangle with the Berkley's Golden Bears. On UR ' 1 route Heyliger's crew will meet the Tigers from Colorado Springs. In pre-war years the Californians boasted one of the coast's most powerful puck teams. Colorado dropped a pair of games to Michigan last year, but have an edge in a long series. Toronto To Return Toront's sextet-one of the great- est college sextets of all time-will be well remembered by Ann Arbor fans. Ace Bailey's charges snapped a twelve game winning streak and de- feated the Wolverines four straight last season. Queens University, of Kingston, Ontario, plays in the same league as does Toronto. As always the Wolverines will meet Minnesota in a four game, home- and-home series. Last year the Heyligermen won the mythical Big Nine title by taking a pair from the Gophers while losing one and gaining "a tie. Heyliger expects to begin practice early next week. hi;, -____._ ____----_- -- ,l Salvatore I THIS is by way of thanking the 150 students who had enough spirit in them to turn out for the pep rally yesterday afternoon. One question. Where were the other 18,650? Spirit is a peculiar thing. When the team is "up" and winning, everybody is behind them. "That's my team," they say. "I go to Michi- gan." And they throw out their chests and beam. When the team is not doing so well, it's not quite the same story. "Sorry, old boy," they say, "Just couldn't make it down there yesterday. You know how it is." "The foolball team is the students' team." That was the cry when the football seats were distributed. "How dare they put me in the end zone? How dare they expect me to cheer for my team when I can't even see it?" How many of those students were among those who lined State Street yesterday, a sort of wan smile on the faces of some, actual disgust on the faces of others? We didn't realize that 18,650 students had such important things to do at one time. So important that they couldn't give up one half an hour to sing a few songs and yell just a bit for their own football team.j TWO WEEKS AGO, we got sick to our stomach when we read how the students of Michigan State College had booed their players as they left the field at the end of a losing game. We were sure it could never happen here. It didn't. Michigan students didn't do anything. They just stood and gaped. Even the band, the Michigan Marching Band, couldn't spare a half hour from their practice to march down State Street yesterday. We didn't want their ru.niforms or their snappy marching. We just wanted their music. They could have practiced a half hour later last night. Some fellows were able to get up an hour or so earlier to paint posters and put them around the campus. Others could take a few minutes of their really precious time on their radio programs to announce the rally and plead with the stu- dents to turn out. We hope the band is very good up there in Minneapolis Saturday. They ought to be well-drilled and rested for the occasion. We hear the echo of an old rationalization. It says, "This idea of 'the old college spirit' is out the window in these days. 'Do or Die' went out with the Republicans. Students are older now. They don't go for that stuff." What about the Army game? Was that spirit or were we just trying to impress somebody? If, by some chance, this team should win the Big Nine Champion- ship, we wonder how many students will be cheering for their team then? Gone will be the wan smiles and the disgusted looks. The band will march and everybody will cheer and sing for that good old Michi- gan spirit. One hundred fifty Michigan men and women should toss themselves a party. Or maybe the football team will invite them to theirs. After all, they surely wouldn't overcrowd the place. A packed house will be on hand to- morrow in Minneapolis where the Wolverines and the Gophers will be unleashed in their 37th annual fur- clawing clash for the Little Brown Jug. A determined collection of 36 Michigan gridders left yesterday eve- ning, bound for the Northern strong- hold of Minnesota's golden horde in an effort to shake off their fumbling slump and stage a come-back rally in the Conference campaign. After a week of strenuous scrim- mage sessions, Coach Fritz Crisler and his staff believe they have the Maize and Blue back in fighting trim and ready to show the gridiron world what they can do. The daily work- outs just completed have been some of the hardest-hitting practices the, Wolverine warriors have undergone this year. Michigan At Full Strength Bob Wiese has recovered from the bruising blow he received in the Illi- nois fracas last Saturday and is scheduled for full duty at his full- Scramble for Brown Jug Michigan, Gophers To Meet in 3711h Traditional Game; Wolverines at Full Strength as Bob Wiese Recovers back position. Reinforcing the spin- ning back will be Jack Weisenburger and Dan Dworsky. A trio of the trickiest-stepping runners in Big Nine circles is avail- able for left half. Bob Chappuis will probably get the starting nod on the strength of his offensive record to date, a 538-yard performance that has put him on top of the Western Conference ground-gaining list. Be- hind him are Gene Derricotte, a speedy open-field runner and one of Michigan's best defensive backs, and Bill Culligan, who was a mainstay in the Wolverines' 1945 28-23 triumph Right Halfs Plentiful For right half Coach Crisler has no end of talent to choose from. Paul White, Bumps Elliott, Ralph Chubb, and Henry Fonde are all making the trip, a quartet of ball-carriers to worry any opposing defense. Howard Yerges is first choice once again for quarterback, backed up ably by Pete Elliott and Bob Vernier. Six ends are traveling to Minneap- olis, including Captain Art Renner, Ed Bahlow, Len Ford, Elmer Madar, Bob Mann, and Ed McNeill. Tackles going are Bob Ballou, Jack Carpen- ter, Fenwick Crane, Bob Derleth, Bruce Hilkene, and Bill Pritula. George Burg, George Kraeger, Quentin Sickels, Joe Sobeliski, Stu Wilkins, and Dom Tomasi are going along to fill the guard positions, while Jim Brieske, Bob Callahan, J. T. White, and Harold Watts are the centers.

Wolverine B's Buzz at Spartan Hive Tomorrow Wally Weber will take the "B's" from Michigan's gridiron hive to East Lansing tomorrow to do battle with Michigan State's unbeaten yearlings. The little Spartans boast the im- pressive record of rolling up 131 points to 13 for the opposition which included Notre Dame, Central Michi- gan and Wayne (twice). The Wol- verines are conceding nothing how- ever having lost only to Indiana while clipping Marquette, Wayne and Grand Rapids Junior College. Wayne affords the only basis of comparison. The Maize and Blue snowed the Tartars under a 46-0 touchdown avalanche in Michigan's opener but the Spartans accorded the Motor City eleven equally rough hospitality by spanking them 50-0 and 32-0. This is the first in a home and home series which will wind up at Ferry Field on November 9. All un- finished business resulting from to- morrow's game will be taken care of then in what are "the" games on the schedules of both teams.
