Heading the list were former let- termen Pete Elliot, Dick Rifenburg and Jack Weisenberger. Elliot was a regular on last year's high scor- ing squad and netted 100 points in Confereace play. This swelled the number of let- termen back to eight. Bob'Harri- son, Gordon Rosencrans, Chuck Ketterer, Marty Feinberg and Bob Baker have been working out since Octrher 15. Best of the newcomers from the football team appears to be 6'4" Irv Wisniewski. With the center spot still wide open, the lanky Jayvee end figures to make a strong bid. Other gridders out in- clude Bob Mann, Howard Yerges, Fenwick Crane, Joe Soboleski, Don Hershberger, George Royce, Chuck .Lentz and Johnny Ghindia. Spartans Face 'T' In Cogar Attack EAST LANSING, Nov. 27-AP)- Troubled all season by teams us- ing the '-formation, Michigan State College Saturday will meet double trouble when Washington State invades Macklin Stadium to wind up the seasons for both teams. The Cougars employ what they call a "double-T" formation, and from the way the M.S.C. reserves have been gaining on the varsity with the fjrrnation this week, state may have its hands full Saturday. CAPTAIN CANJA: Diver Named Swim Captain Coach Matt Mann Reveals By CLARK BAKER Alex Canja, senior in the Lit School, will captain Michigan's 1946-47 swimming team, it was announced yesterday by tank coach Matt Mann. Canja, one of Mann's top divers Canja had to play second-fiddle td Strother 'T-Bone" Martin in '41-42 but still managed to place fifth in the Conference meet that season. In 1942-43 Canja took over as Mann's No. 1 diver before leaving Michigan to serve a hitch in the Army. In '42-43 Canja helped the Wol- verine team to second place in the Conference with a fifth in the Big Ten meet. He went on to dupli- cate that performance in the NCAA meet and then capped the year by taking a second in the Na- tional Junior Indoor Three-Meter diving championship meet at Cleveland. Then there was an interlude of three years during which Canja served in ,he Army and saw ac- tion in the European Theater. Re- turning last fall, Canja immedi- ately became Mann's top diver. Alex was squeezed out of third spot in the Conference by team- mate Gil Evans but came back strong to take a third in the NCAA low board and a fourth in the NCAA high board diving. Final Standings Chapputis Star Of Big Nine CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 27- Bob Chappuis of Michigan, who beat his way to safety through enemy territory after the Army bomber in which he operated as a radio man was knocked down in combat, beat his way through the enemy on 1946 gridi'rons to emerge as the outstanding individual per- former in Western Conference football for the seeason. Chappuis set a new statisti- cal record for overall offense with a total of 1039 yards, an average of 148.1 yards in sev- en games. The Wolverine ace, who was noted as a passer when he last played in 1942, netted 443 yards by rushing for the top figure in the Con- ference, averaging 5.3 yards a try. His passes were good for 596 yards as he hit on 36 of 64 attempts for a completion av- erage of .563, which also stands as a new Conference record. And to clinch his claims he ranked fifth in punt returns with an average of 12.1 yards and twelfth in kickoff returns with an average of 21.5 yards. While Chappuis was running up his rushing net Art Dufel- meier ofiIllinois capped a championship season by taking over top spot with the best av- erage gain per rush., 8.0 yards on 38 attempts for a net of 302 yards. Vic Schwall of North- western netted 385 yards in six games and had an average of 5.9 yards. John Galvin of Purdue had the best punt average, 43.0 yards on 16 kicks, followed 4y Tex Cox of Wisconsin Heyliger Says Game Helped' Wing Team By CHUCK LEWIS After losing an exhibition game to the Detroit Red Wings Tues- day night, 6-5, the Michigan hockey team will meet the Winds- or Spitfires to open their regular season- Friday night at 8 p.m. at the Coliseum. Coach Vic Heyliger felt that the game with the professional De- troiters was just what the squad needed to get started. The Red Wing tilt showed that the sextet was out of con- dition, but this will be made up after a few more practice ses- sions. Particularly impressive in Tues- lay's contest was goalie Jack McDonald. MacDonald tenaeci the Detroit nets in an exchange of goalies and held his teammates, plus a Red Wing forward line that was loaned to the Wolverines, scoreless for two periods. The Windsor contingent in- vades the Maize and Blue hock- ey rink leading the Michigan-On- tario Amateur hockey League. They are managed by Ebbie Good- fellow, former Detroit defense- man Included on the Spitfires ros- ter are Harry Marchand and Gordon Atles, who are tied for the M-O loop scoring lead. Michigan will use the same pucksters that faced Detroit. On the number one line will be Gor- don MacMillan, Dick Starrak, and Lyle Phillips. The second trio will be Bill Jacobson, Al Ren- frew, who made three points in Wing engagement, and Ted Greer. George Peugot, Sam Steadman, and Herb Upton will make up the third line. On defense will be Connie Hill, Bob Marshall, George Balestri, and George Anderson. MacDon- aId will be in the goal. This will be -the last time that the Maize and Blue hockey fans will see the sextet at home until December 14 when the Mar- quette Hockey Club invades the Coliseum. Hold Your Bonds! MERMEN COACH-7Ecognized as one of the foremost swim- ming experts in the country is Matt Mann, Wolverine swim- ming coach, who yesterday an- nounced the choice of Alex Canja as Michigan captain. last year, will be starting his fourth year of competition for the Wolverine mnermen. It was back in 1941-42 that the Maize and. Blue diver first made the Wolverines' starting lineup. Illinois Michigan Indiana Iowa Minn. Northw.
