THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1947 THE MICHIGAN DAILY r PAGE TITUUSflAY, NOVEMUII~R 6, 1947 - PAGE Frosh Tangle With Jayvees In Mud, Dusk Defense Highlights Scrimmage Session The Jayvees got a big taste of scrimmage yesterday as they took on Wally Weber's freshman squad in a slam-bang 45-minute ses- zion. Playing in a lot of mud and a lot of late afternoon darkness, the defensive work of both teams prov- ed outstanding. Only in the clos- ing minute of scrimmage did the B squad threaten the Frosh goal line. Then with the Jayvees eight yards from paydirt and four chances to get there, the Fresh- men threw up a goal line defense that couldn't be penetrated. The referee's whistle and darkness end- ed the game with the ball resting two yards from the double stripe. Frosh on Offense The freshmen found it even more difficult to get their offense moving as they Vere rush- ed time and time again by the alert and fast charging Jayvees for- wards. John Pagjen, defensive center, was particularly effective as he burst through the freshman line on several occasions to nail the ball carrier before the play could be gotten under way. Dave Gomberg and Dick Strauss continually broke through the Frosh line to hurry pass attempts while the backfield defenders prov- ed themselves capable of knock- ing down those which did get into the air. Kulpinski Shines Jayvees Ray Kulpinski and John Maturo were often conspicuously present in the freshman backfield as they charged through to slam the runner on the ground behind the scrimmage line. Dan Frank gave a good account' of himself at end with some fine defensive work, consistently turn- ing the plays and piling up the freshman interference. WAITING FOR A HAIRCUT?

Threat Past Hoosier Upsets Blasted 'M' Records 'Bo' McMillin's Boys Boast Two' Wins In Last Three Contests With Michigan Dworsky Cited For Line Play NEW YORK, Nov. -(A')--Dan Dworsky, Michigan center, was honored by the "lineman of the week" award, placing second to Bobby Davis, Georgia Tech tackle. Just, as Davis helped keep Geo- rgia Tech's slate clean, Dworsky's performance against Illinois play- ed a large part in keeping Mich- igan among the unbeaten and un- tied. "Dworsky stamped himself of true All-American caliber," com- mented Bob Hooey of the Colum- bus (Ohio) "Ohio State Journal." "On numerous occasions he was a vital cog in stopping the Illinois - attack within sight of the Wolver- ine goal." Daily-Lmanian TOUCHDOWN EXPRESS-Bump Elliott, flashy Wolverine wingback,- high-balls his way through a maze of Illinois players and heads for touchdown territory after taking a punt from Eddelman of the Illini. Bruce Hilkene (75), Jack Weisenburger, (48) ,and Bob Mann (81) watch the play from behind the flying Elliott. The action gave the Wolverines their first touchdown to take the lead early in the first quarter. If Michigan and Indiana have to play their game Saturday in weather similar to yesterday's mis- ty rain, Coach "Fritz" Crisler and his charges will be ready for the line battle that mud usually pro- duces. The Wolverines completed their second day of workouts in poor football weather and spent most of it executing line and backfield plays that stressed clean ball handling in addition to Coach Crisler's usual demand for per- fection in individual assignments. Disregarding the popular be- lief that the Wolverines have successfully passed what was considered their last obstacle to the Western Conference Cham- pionship, Coach Crisler and the # team are not looking forward to 1 this Saturday's encounter with the Hoosiers as a "breather." Having adopted the attitude that no game is won until the last minute has passed, the Wol- verines continued to show the enthusiasm that has marked all practice sessions this year. The team's belief that "Bo" Mc- Millin's squad is not to be re- garded as a push-over is born out by the Hoosiers' past record against the Wolverines. The two teams have met four times under Coach Crisler and "Bo" McMillin. Michigan has won only two of these games with victories in 1943 and 1946. Indiana, playing in much the same role that it will this Satur- day, walked off with one of the 1944 season's big upsets when it stunned the Wolverines 20 to 0. Again in 1945 the Hoosiers were generally rated as the underdog and, showing no respect for the favorites, started their drive to- wards the conference champion- ship by downing Michigan, 13 to 7. Coach "Bo" McMillin willI have one of the stars of his 1945 team on the field Saturday when the Indiana squad attempts to do what six teams have already failed to do - stop Michigan. George Taliaferro, star Hoosier halfback, and currently one of the nation's offensive leaders will be on hand to try once again to be the thorn in Michigan's side. It was chiefly through his efforts that the Indiana team took the 1944 upset from Michigan as well as the close 7 to 0 decision over Ohio State last week. Another stout peg in "Bo" Mc- Millin's invading Indiana eleven is, Mel Groomes, the graceful Negro defensive halfback who is adequately termed by McMil- lin as "the best pass defender we've ever had around here." The Trenton, New York lad first gained fame in 1944 by streak- ing out of nowhere to consistent- ly ground Bobby Hoernschmey- er's passes in daily drills. Not only does Mr. Groomes bol- ster the pass defense network, but he superbly handles the ball both in running and pass receiving as evidenced by his 1945-46 record of averaging 232 yards in offen- sive play. In addition to Taliaferro and Groomes, the Hoosiers will be ready to send veteran end Bob Ravensburg, another holdover from the 1944 squad, and a well balanced line composed of vet- eran guard, Capt. Howard Brown and three highly rated sopho- more linemen, Ralph Wagner, Wilfred Rawl and Casimir Wit- ucki. Michigan will also have to face quarterback Rex Gross- man who stands high among Big Nine backfield stars. Against these Hoosier standouts, Coach Crisler will rely on his us- ual offensive and defensive squads bolstered by the news that Tackle Al Wistert will probably be ready for Saturday's game. Coach Cris- Crisler has also stated that Dick Kempthorn will definitely see ac- tion this weekend. 4 1 W, Jut xe1,o Wolverines, Irish, Minnesota Picked for Victories Saturday DAN DWORSKY Week's Top Center Hold Those Bonds ! CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-(P)-Twirling the crystal ball on crossed fingers: Notre Dane 21, Army 7 - The Irish will kiss the Cadets good-bye in rough fashion, but not as bat- teringly as a revenge motive might dictate. Notre Dame nasn't for- gotten those 1944 and 1945 plast- erin,gs by the Blanchard-Davit gang, but Army's stout line will make it a game. The Irish can't swing their Sunday punch too of- ten and still have enough left for the Southern California game Dec. 6 which looms more and more like a sizzler. Michigan 20, Indiana 6 - The Wolverines would have to be far off form to get tripped by the Hoosiers, whose George Taliafer- ro simply will be out-numbered by Michigan's Bob Chappuis, Jack Weisenburger, Gene Derricotte and Bump Elliott. Wisconsin 14, Iowa 7 - The Badgers are bound to let down af- ter their easy romp over North- western, while the Hawkeyes will still be stinging from their spank- ing by Purdue. Wisconsin's speed, however, should shade Iowa and bring the Badgers into a title showdown with Michigan in their Nov. 15 date at Madison. Minnesota 14, Purdue 13 - Here we go voting against the steamed- up Boilermakers for the second straight Saturday, but those Go- phers are the spoiling kind. Ber- nie Bierman's lads will have to step lively against Bob De Moss' passing, but they hustled Michi- gan's Bob Chappuis to death and they'll do it to Boilermaker Bob. Big Nine Briefs, LAFAYETTE, Ind., Nov. 5-P) -Purdue concentrated on offense today in its last hard workout be- fore its game with Minnesota at Minneapolis Saturday. Coach Stu Colhomb said Abe Gibron, who has worked at both guard positions this season, may be shifted to right tackle because of improvement shown by other guard candidates, headed by Earl Murray and Bill Horvath. Hol- comb said that otherwise he would not change his lineup. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 5- (A)-Indiana worked until after dark today polishing its offense and defense in preparation for its game with Michigan Saturday. Fullback Chuck Jagade suffered a leg injury today but is expected to be ready for action against the Wolverines. 4i TODAY, right on the eve of the formal season, STAEB & DAY will show you a mag- nificent collection of Tuxedos - Price range $45.00 to $55.00 - including Shorts, Regulars, and Longs - in sizes 3 to 46.

VAN HEUSEN TUXEDO SHIRTS Are Available Now at I Michigan's 150-pound football team wound up their final heavy practice of the week yesterday, and turned their eyes to Friday afternoon's tilt with the Buckeyes of Ohio State. The junior Wolvreines went through a stiff work-out yester- day afternoon, as Coach Cliff Keen sent them through a two hour session of scrimmage and body contact work which lasted until after dark, and then called for a whack at the tackling dum- mies under the glare of flood- lights. Seek Second Win The lightweights will he seek- ing their second victory in as many starts when they take the field against the Columbus con- tingent Friday afternoon. They opened the season last week by drubbing the Univrsity of Illinois 33-0 with quarter-back and cap- tain, Charlie Ketterer, and left- hlaf, John Wilcox, pacing the at- tack. Buckeyes Beaten Once Ohio State, on the other hand brings a tarnished record into the battle. The Buckeyes, who have a hundred men, dropped their sea- son opener to. Wisconsin, 13-0. Coach Keen, however, pointed out that both the. Badger touchdowns came as a result of blocked punts, and that the Buckeyes were the victims of bad breaks all after- noon. He especially expects the Ohio State line to be strong, and emphasized that the Wolverine forward wall will have to be on its toes to stop the OSU attack. The 150-pounders will tune up with signal drills tomorrow after- noon, and then will call it a day until they take the field Friday.
