V, NOVEMBER 19, 1947 THE MICHIGAN DAILY "JY's To Point For .50Year Aa, ist OSUf Michigan's hot and cold Jayvee squad closes its season's play at 3 p.m. this Friday against Ohio State's 'B" team on Ferry Field. Coach George Ceithaml's grid- ders are seeking a .500 average with a present record of two wins and three losses. However, Ohio State has a strong team and promises trouble for the Jayvees. To stress All-Around Play In drills this week the team will be working to perfect their all around play. Last Saturday's af- fair, since it was played in ankle deep mud, failed to show any ma- jor weaknesses. Coach Gib Holgate, who han- dled the Jayvees, cited the defen- sive play of Center John Padjen. Guards Alan Fitch and John Ma- turo, and end John Linville also were outstanding on the line. Combes, Small Mentioned In the backfield Holgate lauded the offensive play of John Combes and said that Irv Small operated very well in the quarterback post. As for this weekend's contest, Holgate said that all he hoped for was good weather. The last two games have been more a battle of the elements than a football game and has not given the team a chance to show what it can really do. Four' M Gridders Vie for Leadership in Loop Statistics * _ -.,-Xl Michigan's all-conquering Wol- verines hope to achieve a few in- dividual championships in the sea- Son finale here Saturday with Ohio State. Bob Chappuis, Michigan's top- ranking candidate for All-Ameri- an honors, has virtually clinched "he Conference total offense title Lor the second straight year, but he will be shooting for the league passing championship against the Buckeyes. According to statistics re- vealed yesterday, the versatile Chappuis has picked up 712 yards by stellar passipg and rushing in the five Wolverine tests with Conference foes for an average gain of 142.4 yards per contest. A year ago, the Maize and Blue gridiron ace won the total offense crown with 1039 yards in seven loop battles for an ever- Attention Wrestlers!

All students, whether or not they have had previous skiing ex- perience, are invited to attend because plans for weekend trips will be discussed in conjunction with instruction for beginners. If a large group turns out, it will be easier and less expensive to get necessary facilities at various win- ter resorts. Although there had been no of- ficial backing, matches were held with Michigan State last year and probably will be held again. In the future, if enough good skiers come through, an attempt will be made to secure University sanction for intercollegiate competition. Who's Next on List Of Red Sox Swaps? ST. LOUIS, Nov. 18 - (A") - Pitcher Ellis Kineer and Infielder Bill Hitchcock of the St. Louis Browns were traded tonight to the Boston Red Sox for southpaw Clem Dreiseward, infielder Sam Dente, and a third player still to be named, and what Browns spokesman said was "a little cash." A new scoreboard, to be installed in Yost Field House by the first Conference game, according to Coach Ozzie Cowles, will flash the numerals in neon light. JUST KIBITZIN. By DICK KRAUS Duily Sports Staif IT'S PLEASANT when you don't have to say nice things about your football team but can just sit back and let other people say them. especially when the other people, as Mr. Runyon used to say, have knowledge about the game which is more than somewhat. Such a situation took place last Saturday. The people in question were a pair of the nation's top foot- ball observers, Norman Sper, who picks the annual All-American team for Liberty Magazine, and Francis J. Powers, of the Chicago Daily News. Sper had just enjoyed-and that was the word he used, his first look at Michigan. What impressed him most was the remarkable poise of the entire team. The poise and precision of their ball handling and execution surprised and delighted him. "Once," Sper said, "the ball changed hands so far in the backfield, that I stood up in the Press Box and yelled 'My God.' On that particular play the wet slippery ball went back to Weisenburger, who handed it to Yerges who flipped a lateral to Chappuis-and it happened so fast it was difficult to follow." POWERS AND SPER both agreed that quarterback Howard Yerges choice of plays was almost uncanny. "He continually set them up and knocked them down," Powers commented. The two men also agreed that Bump Elliott was one of the most versatile backs they had seen all season. Sper said that Mississippi's Charlie Conerly was the only one he had seen who did as many things as well as Bump. "The amazing thing to me," Powers said, "is the tremendous amount of offense this club has been able to handle. When you consider that Crisler's basic single wing to the right is a tricky intricate formation in itself and then realize that it is spiced with two other equally deceptive variations, it's downright amaz- ing." "AFTER THE Wolverines throw everything under the sun at you from their basic formation, they start over from the T. Then when it looks like they've shown everything as they did against Minnesota, they line up in a single wing to the left for the first time all year and Derricotte carries the ball for the first time all afternoon and scores a touchdown." As for Crisler himself, Sper maintains that he has far out- stripped his coaching rivals in his use of the free substitution rule. By dividing his squad into offensive and defensive units, each man gets to show only his strength to the opposition. Sper singled out Dom Tomasi for special praise. The 180-pound- er's brilliant blocking was very much in evidence all afternoon. Both men agreed that the expected duel of speed between the1 two elevens had failed to materialize. Wisconsin may have been fast in comparison with Iowa, but in over-all speed they looked far slower' than the Wolverines. Incidentally, Ollie Cline, Ohio State's most prolific back, pos- sesses a rushing mark of 216 yards in 47 dashes from scrimmage. The Big Nine scoring race is still a toss-up with Bump Elliott of Michigan, Lisle Blackbourn of Wisconsin, and Art Murakow- ski of Northwestern all dead- locked for the lead at 30 points apiece. .Hawaii Bound; MSC Eleven Takes to Air Spartans Undaunted After Rough Flights EAST LANSING, Nov. 18-(A)- Members of Michigan State's foot- ball squad proved again they could take it after they bounced back for a successful season following a 55-0 thrashing by Michigan. Suckers for Punishment Another examole of the Spar- tans' ability to absorb punishment and come back for more is the de- cision to fly the squad 18,000 miles on their round trip to Honolulu for the football game with the Uni- versity of Hawaii. The MSC football team had an earlier and unfortunate taste of air travel on their trip to meet Washington State at Pullman, Wash. The flight bumped into some rough weather over the Rocky Mountains and 30 of the 36 squad members were deathly ill before they got out of the plane. Wise Guy One gagster remarked "Who wants to fly to Hawaii?" as he stepped out of the plane at the end cf the Washington trip but only wry smiles rewarded his wit as the football players fought their un- easy stomachs. Captain Bob Mc- Curry was unable to play following his airsickness and several other squad members still felt the ef- fects of the trip as they went into the game. The Spartans beat Washington State 21-7 and a smooth air trip home made the players forget some of their distaste for flying halfway around the world for the last game of the season.
