Kunkle Captures
Trueblood Match
Jack Kunkle eamtured the
coveted Trueblood Trophy, em-
blematic of the top campus
golfer, yesterday by nosing out
Lou Hauser, 2-1, on the Uni-
versity links.
Starting from a field of six-
teen hopeful golfers, both Kun-
kle and Hauser fought their
way successfully through pre-
liminary match rounds
Gopher Coach
Warns Squad
MINNEAPOLIS Oct. 20-(,P)--
Minnesota's Gophers stressed de-
fensive measures against Michi-
gan in an overtime practice ses-
sion today.
The session came after a warn-
ing by Assistant Coach George
Svendsen who told the boys,
"knuckle down this week or you'll
get the wo'st licking of your life
Saturday."
By DICK KRAUS
Daily Sports Editor
They were skeptical up in the
Press box at Dyche Satdium last
Saturday, skeptical right up until
the second time Michigan got the
ball, then they were converts, real
believers in the legend of Fritz
Crisler's offensive magic.
There was a tacit reserve in. all
the Chicago writers' advances on
the Michigan-Northwestern game,
a sort of "big scores, but who did
they play" attitude. The attitude
was not at all evident in the cover
stories.
Tom Siler of the Sun, wrote,
"Finesse, speed, power. decep-
lion--you name it-Michigan
we YOuar h e Ye sAz
OR YOUR MONEY BACK
had it in burying the North-
western Wildcats under an ava-
lanche."
Then there was Jim Enright of
the Chicago Herald - American;
"The wily Wolverines looked the
part of a perfect football machine.
Their ball-handling functioned
with precision, their backs fre-
quently catching the Wildcats off
guard to a point where they didn't
realize who had the ball. Michi-
gan's decoys and hidden-ball ex-
perts worked behind seemingly
complete mystery. Its ball car-
riers rushed goalward with poise
and finesse, plus power."
And Wilfred Smith, the dean of
them all, the Chicago Tribune's
top football reporter said, "Michi-
gan presented the fastest, best co-
ordinated attack we have ever
seen in Western Conference foot-
ball . .. Michigan's team had de-
ception. Ball carriers received well
nigh perfect blocking. On this
October afternoon, the Wolverines
without doubt equaled any exhi-
bition of Fielding Yost's point-a-
minute teams at the turn of the
century."
But the all seeing Mr. Smith
also saw what will make for a
very uncomfortable week of
practice sessions for Cristler's
charges, a whole gridiron full of
Michigan defensive lopses.
"Defense?" Smith went on to
right. The Wildcats-and it didn't
matter which of them-gained
consistently. Art Murakowski and
Frank Ashenbrenner, may well be
the best running pair in the Con-
ference, but unheralded guys like
Bob Tunnecliffe, Tom Worthing-
ton, and even Don Burson, run-
ning on quarteback sneaks, knifed
through the Michigan forward
wall.
Even acknowledging that sev-
eral of Crisler's key defensive
cogs were out of action, the
press box observers were more
inclined to condemn Michigan's
defenders than to praise the
Wildcat attack.
Without Dick Kempthorn, the
Wolverine linebacking was far be-
low par. Time and again North-
western backs would sweep the
weak side end behind three and
four man interference. Len Ford,
playing what Crisler called his fin-
est defensive game, continually
smashed the blockers only to have
the ball carrier get away from the
linebacker.
The Wolverines were further
hampered by the early loss of two
other top defensive linemen,
Ralph Kohl and Joe Soboleski,
who were injured in the first pe-
riod.
There was one brilliant defen-
sive manuever in that game of
little defense. J. T. White pulled it
off to set up one of the Michigan
hind the Purple blockers, but just
missed getting Don Burson who
carried the ball on a quarterback
sneak. White followed him, then
caught him and stole the ball
right out of his arms.
But that was only one ray on a
dismal defensive day.
In a way it was remarkable
that both lines could look so su-
perb on offense and so sluggish
on defense.
One almost totally overlooked1
factor in the Michigan offense
was revealed in two sequences of
Michigan touchdown pictures -
namely a 180-pound chunk of
guard named Dom Tomasi. The
Chicago Herald-American ran an
eight picture series of Bob Mann's
touchdown run, and there big as
life in the third picture is Dom
Tomasi (erroneously called Solol-
eski), throwing a block on Stan
Gorski, Northwestern end, to
spring Mann past the line of
scrimmage.
The Chicago Tribune also ran
a touchdown sequence, follow-
ing Hank Fonde's six yard jaunt
for the second score. Again,
Tomasi applies the key block,
this time erasing George Mad-
dock, 220-pound Wildcat tackle.
That was the story, Michigan
and Northwestern both gained
yardage, but Michigan's blocking
both in the line and down field
was superb.
LEN FORD
say, "well the best defense
good offense. Technically,
P is a
how-
ever, Michigan's defenders were
amazingly inept at times. North-
western fans rightly may believe
that the Wildcats could have
scored three times in the first 15
minutes. Northwestern had 292
yards gained by rushing . . . many
games have been won with less ex-
ertion."
And Mr. Smith was 100 per cent
DOM TOMASI
touchdowns. Midway through the
second quarter Crisler sent White
in on defense to help out and it
was a happy move. White, back-
ing up the line on the right side
drifted outside of his own end just
before the Wildcat center passed
the ball, then he swept around be-

All-Campus Bowling League
Marked by Good Performance
By JAN BRODT
Keen competition and high
quality performances are the or-
der of the day when the All-Cam-
pus Bowling League meets at the
Michigan Union on Wednesday
nights.
This is the second
league, which was an
year the
outgrowth

III
of an intramural tournament, has
been in operation. It is composed
of twelve teams with five men per
team and is open to any student
of the University.
Round Robin Schedule
The league plays a round-robin
schedule with each team meeting
every other team twice during the
season, which runs from October
1 to April 15. Competition is se-
vere, and the teams are evenly
matched as evidenced by the fact
that two points separated the first
four teams at the close of last sea-
son.
The teams play in two shifts,
the first shift going from 7:00 p.m.
to 9:00 p.m. and the second from
9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Although
each team is assigned an alley,
they alternate per frame with the
evening's matchmate so that no
one team will become accustomed
to a certain alley. These rules are
set up by the American Bowling
Congress, of which the league is a
member.{
Outside Activities Playned!
In addition to the regular!
schedule many outside activities
have been planned. Last year the
first and second place gave an ex-
hibition during the Union Open
House. This year many of the
members plan to attend the A.B.C.
National Tournament in Detroit.
The five men with the highest in-
dividual averages form the "Mich-
igans," and this team from time
to time plays high-ranking Ann
Arbor teams. Last year they de-
feated Cushing Motors and then
lost to Coca-Cola by thirteen pins.
The "Michigans" were rated one
of the best teams in the city.
Everyone is welcome to come
and watch the league in action on
Wednesdays from 7:00 p.m. to
11:00 p.m. at the Union bowling
alleys. Bowling enthusiasts should
be especially interested in the
quality of play, and the men
would like an auditnce.
Crisler Points
To Minnesota
Line Strength
Minnesota's giant line will put
the Wolverine forward wall to the
latter's biggest test of the season
this Saturday, declared Coach
Fritz Crisler of Michigan at the
weekly press conference yesterday
afternoon.
Many other critics are )con-
vinced that the Gophers boast the
best line in the Big Nine, but
Bernie Bierman has a few weak
spots in his backfield. As a re-
sult, the Illini, connecting on all
seven passes hurled in Saturday's
game with Minnesota, won hand-
ily, 40-13.
Crisler undoubtedly will have
his strong-armed backs uncork-
ing forward passes in this week's
practice. However, a major part
of the drills will be concentrated
on strengthening the vulnerable
defense exhibited in the 49-21
conquest of Northwestern Sat-
urday.
The Wolverine coach wasn't im-
pressed with his team's tackling, a
weakness that was pointed out to
the team when motion pictures of
the game were shown yesterday.
Ralph Kohl, tackle, and Joe So-
boleski, guard, suffered minor in-
juries against the Wildcats, but
Head Trainer Jim Hunt indicated
yesterday that this pair will
probably be ready for duty Satur-
day. Dick Kempthorn, Michigan's
talented defensive fullback who
received a bruised knee in the Pitt
game, sat out the Evanston tus-
sle, and is still nursing the wound,
it was also announced.
Only 37 men participated in
the rout against the Wildcats.
This is the smallest group of
Wolverines to see action in any
of the four victories to date.
Bob Chappuis, Michigan's pass-
ing ace, has now played a full
sixty minutes this season as a re-
sult of the 12%/2 minutes of active
duty Saturday.
By JERRY ALEXANDER
Through every sports story con-
cerning the Michigan Wolverines
there is one name that is becom-
ing conspicuous by its absence.
You can readuon and on but the
name of Howie Yerges, Michigan's
quarterback never hits your eye.
Just another name in the lineup
-Yerges, quarterback.
In those last two words is the
real story. It's the story of a good
player, a quarterback who parlays
his team against the opposition
game after game, playing the
odds, spotting other team's short-
comings and coming up with the
one play out of many at his com-
mand to fit the spot.
He's the one the other players
have confidence in, they know
better than any grandstander or
sportswriter Howie's inestimable
worth to the team.
Get Little Mention
And yet his name never appears.
It's absent because Chappuis and
Derricotte do the passing, Elliott
and Weisenburger the running.
But it has been Yerges' deception
in the backfield that's given the
runners their chance to get away
for those crowd thrilling runs.
Not a headline either has been
awarded to Yerges for spending
those ten seconds minutely looking
over the other team's defense and
choosing a play from the many
vaiiations of the "T" formation,
flankers, single wing and spreads
that Fritz Crisler has primed the
squad with. Not a single line is
written for this shrewd ability
Yerges has.
Small but Tough
Maybe it's because Yerges is
only 5 ft. 9 in. tall and weighs a
meager 172. Yet watch him out
there in Michigan's next game.
Look carefully and you'll see him
time and time again cut the pins
out from some tackle or end that's
broken through trying to nail the
ball carrier.
This quarterback is the last
one to ever complain about the
role the writers have cast him in.
He is truly modest and unassum-
ing and his great desire.is to see
Michigan win every Saturday.
Key Man
If you have a chance to see the
movies shown at the Michigan
Union of the preceding week's
game, every Sunday night, watch
Yerges, and be glad there's a
player like him masterminding our
offense. He's a good man to have
around.
