TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1947, THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE 150-PoundGriddersStart Practice for First Time Fifty-eight miniature Hilkenes, Fords, and Elliots reported to Coach Cliff Keen yesterday after- noon for the opening practice ses- sion of Michigan's new 150-pound football team. AiLtiougn only a small percent- age of the lightweights reported any previous varsity experience in high school or college, the new mentor was confident of the ulti- mate success of the experiment. Right to Work Keen, who is alsoshead wres- tling coach, and his assistant, George Allen, put the newcomers through light calisthenics, basic blocking drills and endurance races during tis first session. Four contests have been sched- uled for the lightweights for the coming pigskin season beginning with a Saturday morning clash with the University of Illinois 150 pounders on November 1 in the Michigan stadium. On the fol- lowing Friday the "little Wol- verines" will play host to Ohio State- and then willtravel with the varsity squad to Madison, Wisconsin where they will meet the Badger lightweights on Nov. 14. The season finale will be played at Columbus, Ohio on Nov. 22 while our varsity squad is en- tertaining the Buckeyes here in Ann Arbor. Something New Although Michigan has long been prominent in intercollegiate footballl it is the first time in its All men interested in playing 150-pound foobtall should re- port to Cliff Keen in Yost Field House at 3 o'clock this after- noon. athletic history that it has fielded a 150 pound team.

JUST KIBITZING By PICK KR AUS Daily Sports Efitr As AP columnist Whitney Martin pointed out, the football sea- on is already over and Notre Dame is the National champ. By the ame token Michigan has already won the Big Nine Title, naturally :cing unbeaten in the process. But the rest of the Conference stubbornly insists on playing out he schedule - just for kicks, of course. Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and Northwestern go into the Conference mele strictly looking for second )lace money. The customary procedure from now on calls for Eddie Anderson, Ray Elliot and Fritz Crisler's other Big Nine coaching breathren to shake their collective heads sadly, mutter broken-heartedly, "I ain't got a thing", and then point vigorously toward Ann Arbor and scream "look at Fritz". And there's nothing Crisler can do about getting off the hot seat, except point out weakly that his pint-sized 182 pound offensive line is too small to deal with the big boys. He might venture a word at the rest of the league's power, but since the pre-season dopesters have already crowned Michigan, no-one would pay much attention. At Iowa, Anderson hung together a line last season that woke up halfway through the Michigan game and nearly chased the Wol- verines out of their own stadium. After trailing 14-0, at the half, Iowa pushed over one score and very nearly tied things up. That same line is back, anchored by All-Conference, Earl Banks at guard, Bill Kay at one tackle, flanked by the Schoener twins at the ends. The latter pair looked like the finest set of defensive ends Michigan faced last season. In the backfield, Ron Headington should move into Dick Hoerner's fullback post while Emlin Tunnel and Bob Smith will handle the halves again. The quarterback spot has been bolster- ed considerably. Last's year's green pilot, Lou King, has help now from Bob Dimarco and Johnny Estes. Indiana, and Illinois aren't exactly in the hapless class either, The Hoosiers lost Ben Raimondi and Pete Pihos, but Bob Ravens- berg, an All-American nominee at end two years ago is back, and a complete new backfield named George Taliaferro is out of the service rejoining Bo McMillen. Nick Sobek, a football pitch- ing quarterback who flashed promise a few years back will fill Raimondi's shoes. Guard Howard Brown and tackle John Golds- berry are back to give the Hoosiers front line brilliance. The Illini, even without Alex Agase,' Buddy Young, and Julie Rykovich, are loaded. Perry Moss, Art Duffelmeir, Paul Patterson, and Russ Steger, make up a talent loaded backfield and they are backed up with plenty of reserves such as Chick Maggioli, a practice session standout, and Dike Eddelman. The line is big and deep in reserves and a scholastic convalescent named Lou Levanti has made Champaign quit worrying about Mac Wenskunas' old center post. And for a dark horse in the second place fight how about Northwestern and a new coach, Bob Voights, formerly Paul Brown's assistant with the Cleveland Browns. The Wildcats probably lack good reserves in the line, a weakness they appear to share with Indiana, but the first unit even without "Buckets" Hirsch is big and tough, bulwarked by center Alex Sarkesian, who rated rave notices in his first season of conference competition. Captain Vince DeFrancesca at guard is another line standout, and Jim Farrar, back from the service, should give the Wildcats a fine passing T-formation quarterback to supplement a running attack spearheaded by Frank Aschenbrenner, Ralph Everist, and Art Murakowski. This all makes for interesting speculation. It looks like it would have been a very spectacular football season if Michigan hadn't already been awarded the Big Nine title. By the way, don't apply for your Rose Bowl tickets yet. The Con- ference stubbornly insists on playing out the schedule-just for kicks of course. By BEV BUSSEY Getting into the swing of the '47 Grid season, class four-ites ex- pressed their feelings on the new method of football ticket distribu- tion with mixed cheers and jeers, comparable to last year's situa- tion. The loudest complaint heard by your roving reporter rang out from the ball and chain so- ciety, the married students. According to Mr. Murray Stod- dird, in charge of distribution at Waterman Gym, there were twice as many married men than anticipated which slowed up the proceedings considerably. That was no consolation, how- ever, to Bob Gage, Phys. Ed. senior, whose dogs were putting up a stiff yowl sweating out the line. More than 75 per cent of the first day business was dispatched' in the initialthree hours, but the tickets were staggered in order to I give students who turn in stubs at any time of the day a good chance for good tickets. Those caught in between, however, ended up in the end (zone). Jerry Lipnik, law student and third man in the mass produc- tion picture, grinned: "I was ly waved a section 23 ducat. "Al- ly waved a section 23 ducat. Al- though distribution started late, the lines moved along rapidly." Irate Frances Culbertson, grad student, glared: "It's absolutely inefficient. After three hours I wound up in the fifteen yard line, simply because the signs weren't placed properly. I waited in line one hour before discovering that I was in the wrong pew, so I had to begin all over again." Thad Joos and Herb Spencer, Medical School sophs were very disgruntled. Spencer believes that after nine semesters he be- longs in the press box, while Joos a transfer student said that we shouid follow his for- mer brethren at Miami U. where it was first come first serve. From the faculty viewpoint, Thomas Geis, economics instruc- tor, said. "Distribution was poor- ly handled for married veterans. We were given no choice in the matter of seats in the sections near the end zones."
