WWDNESDAY, OCTOBER~ S, 1947 THE MICHIGAN iDAILY PAI I ~- - .-. - - - JUsT KIBITZING By DICK KRAUS Daily Sports Editor WHAT WITH A WAR, all building materials are on the scarce side, all but football team building materials, that is. You're not supposed to be able to fit square pegs into round holes, but in build- ing this current title contender, Coach Fritz Crisler has been fitting halfback-sized footballers into fullback sized holes, ends have been plugging up tackle gaps, in short if he had a hole he'd find a man to fill it with somewhere. Back in 1945, Jack Weisenburger was in a slugging match for the first string tailback assignment with Pete Elliott and Wally Teninga. Danny Dworsky was slated to hold down the fullback post. * Before the second game, 175-pound Weisenburger suddenly ap- peared as a fullback and he's been one ever since, making up in quickness and knowledge of the intricacies of the spinner all he lacks in weight. PETE ELLIOTT and Brother Bump both 'reported to Crisler as tailbacks, but a couple of guys named Bob Chappuis and Gene Derricotte had prior claims. So, ever since last season, Pete has been breathing down Howard Yerges neck for the first string quarterback Job and Bump bids fair to become the fanciest wingback in Michigan history. And Danny Dworsky who never quite learned to start quick enough to take advantage of his tremendous drive, developed in another direction. In the last two seasons he has moved up to rate as one of the best line-backers in Conference circles and this season he has learned the pivot duties so well that he shares the spot with another convert, J. T. White. C^PTAIN BRUCE HILKENE came out of the army a year ago with an entire campaign at end behind him, but when he reported for duty there was a whole football team full of ends out there ahead of him. With All-American, to be, Elmer Madar, Len Ford, Ed Mc- Neil, Dick Rifenburg, Don Hershberger, and Bob Mann all battling or the flanking spots, Hilkene slid over into a regular tackle job. Crisler's system operates on the premise that a good football player can always fit in. If he's fast enough, smart enough, and takes coaching well enough, he can play about anywhere. And Stanford back, Aubrey Devine will verify it for you, at least where Bob Mann is concerned. After Saturday's game, Devine told Hilkene, "You know for two weeks we've had our fastest back imitating Bob Mann. For two weeks I chased that guy all over the State of California working on pass defense. I come all the way across the country and on the second play of the game, Mann gets away from me and catches a touchdown pass." Pass Hungry indian Fierce Compe In Conference This year will see a great boom in the bruising sport of wrestling. and opposition promises to be ex- tremely tough, the reason being that the majority of teams will be gearing for the Olympic Games being held in London next August According to Head Coach Cliff Keen, who is on the Olympic Wrestling Committee, the Big Nine will produce fiercer competi- tion than has been seen in this part of the country for many years. Illinois, defending cham- pions, Purdue, and Michigan wil be especially strong with Iowa and Minnesota close behind. The Michigan matmen wrestle all the Big Nine schools with the excep- tion of Wisconsin. This vacancy in the schedule will be filled by Ohio University. Betzig Captain This year's matmen, minus the valuable services of last season's sensation, "Corky Courtright, wil be captained by Courtright's out- standing understudy, Bob Betzig.

Two other Wolverines suffered minor injuries during the course of the day. "Automatic" Jim Brieske, Michigan's place-kick artist had his left ankle gashed, but after attention by the trainer reappeared on the field, although limping slightly favoring his in- jured ankle. The second injury of the afternoon saw Joe Soboleski on the ground with a hurt shoul- der. After a doctor's inspection, Soboleski resumed his role in the day's activities. Later in the afternoon, Crisler reversed his earlier procedure, by putting the Blues on defense and sending the white shirted Jayvees against them, trying to find weak- nesses in the defense. y 7 I Michigan Cops SailingMeet Under clear skies and a brisk wind, the Michigan Sailing Club stole the victory in the Associa- tion Meet held Saturday and Sun- day on Whitmore Lake, from un- der the noses of the wildpats of Northwestern, 591/2 to 573/4. The Wolverines captured first and second place in the final event of the meet to snatch vic- tory in the meet. Denison, the only other school participating in the meet finished third with a total of 461'/2 points. Michigan State, Bradley and Youngstown were expected but did not appear for the races. Whitmore Lake will again be the scene for another meet sched- uled for this Saturday and Sun- day. It will be for the Midwest College Sailing Association mem- bers and will include the Mich- igan Sailing Club with Michigan State, Northwestern, Denison Uni- versity and Youngstown College making the journey to Ann Ar- bor for the meet.

Jayvee Squad Drills Stress Offensive.Play Following their none too spec- tacular win over Grand Rapids JC last Saturday the Jayvee will con- centrate on offense this week in preparation for Michigan State next Friday afternoon. Assistant Coach Gib Holgate stated that the boys had not yet sufficiently worked together as a team on offense, and when they needed that extra punch to score they just didn't have it. He went on to explain that the Jayvees had been used mostly on defense in scrimmages against the varsity and had not had much of a chance to master the plays and get their timing perfected. At present there are about six men who can really work in the backfield. Many of the men were hampered with slight injuries and others who did not turn out for practice until the beginning of school are still being fitted into workable positions. Coach Holgate is looking for- ward with little pleasure to this week's contest with MSC. Because State's varsity is playing in Wash- ington a smaller number of men will make the long trip. As a re- sult many of the varsity players who remain at home will probably play against Michigan's JV squad.1 Ossie Bluege Quits WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-G')- Ossie Bluege, manager of the Washington baseball club, has re- linquished that position to become supervisor of the Club's farm teams Jan. 1, President Clark Griffith announced today.
