THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1948 THE MICIGCAN DlAILYV PAGE THUBE Michigan Guns To Scuttle Navy SLICE OF REEF TRUST: Size Plus Speed Make Kohl Offensive Stalwart 4'i There'll be revenge in the minds of several Wolverine gridders this .Saturday afternoon, when the Michigan football machine takes on the oft-beaten Middies of Navy. They'll be out to repay, with in- terest, Navy's smashing 33-7 vic- tory over the Wolverines in 1945. MEMBERS of the 1945 aggre- gation that fell before the mur- "'derous thrusts of a powerful Middie squad include captain Dominic Tomasi, Stu Wilkins, Dan Dworsky, Pete Elliott, Ed McNeill, Walt Teninga and Joe Soboleski. The loaded Navy squad of that year included such greats as ends Dick Duden and Leon Bramlett, center Dick Scott, and a terrific set of runners, Pistol Pete Williams, Bruce Smith, Clyde Scott, Bobby Jenkins and. Tony Minisi sparkling in the t." backfield. This year's Middie aggregation fis a far cry from that 1945 team, but ,s long as they are wearing th avy Blue and Gold, Michigan will be gunning for them. Outstanding for the Wolverines in the 1945 debacle were Elliott, asoboleski and McNeill. Elliott, op- erating from the tailback spot, ac- Counted for most of the Wolverine ;yardage through the air, while Soboleski and McNeill were stal- Awarts on defense. McNeill inter- cepted two Middie passes, the last preventing a late Navy score. NOW THESE Wolverines find themselves in the enviable position of having the tables turned and will be out to make the most of this opportunity. In the overall series, the two teams have met five times, each winning twice and the other game ending in a tie. The two teams faced each other for the first time in 1925 and the great Michigan eleven of that year proved its overwhelming superior- ity by scuttling the boys from An- napolis to the tune of 54-0. This 54 points, incidentally, was the greatest score ever rolled up against a Navy squad. * * * NAVY, HOWEVER, showed that they were made of an elastic sub-, Waterman battle Scene For Registration, PEM To most students on campus, Waterman Gym is simply a con- gested hall where, twice a year, they must suffer the rigors of reg- istration. However, in an interview with Howard C. Liebee, who is in charge of Waterman Gym this miscon- ception has been clarified for us. Since the war, the Physical Edu- cation for Men program has been expanding and has developed into a mecca for aspirant athletes on campus interested in learning and acquiring skill in the various ac- tivities offered by the department. IN ADDITION to the men re- quiredto take the program, more than one hundred athletes are taking non-credit courses to be- come more proficient in such sports as basketball, fencing, ten- nis, golf, weight lifting, and gym- nastics, to mention but a few. * * * ONE OF THE more interesting phases of the activity at Water- man is the therapeutic program carried out by the department. For students placed in the course, the program is adapted to con- ditioning and strengthening the participants. The staff is equipped to the needs of most atypical individuals and has had a great deal of suc- cess in dealing with underdevel- oped and astmatic students. * * * IN ONE INSTANCE a student who was underweight and poorly developed gained twenty pounds in three weeks of weight lifting. Oddly enough, according to Mr. Liebee, the heavy ones lost weight and the light ones put on pound- age. The classes themselves are conducted in the same manner that most of the varsity teams practice. Beginning with funda- mentals and terminology, the stu- dents gradually work up to the point where the tournament games held the last few weeks in the se- mester resemble intra-squad var- sity games. stance and bounced back to take the Wolverines over the hurdles with a 10-0 decision in the 1926 game. The following season, Mich- igan moved out into the lead with a two touchdown triumph over the Middies. The final score of this 1927 game was 27-12. The two teams battled to ac6-6 tie in 1928, when a lack of con- version hurt both squads. It was after this game that the two teams broke off athletic relations until the 1945 contest. SO WITH A fourfold purpose in mind, the Wolverines will be out to really sink the Navy when 2 o'clock rolls around this Satur- day. Besides extending their winning streak, to 21 games, Michigan's gridders will be trying to surpass the Notre Dame margin of last week, in addition to taking the series lead and getting revenge for 1945. I Ir4wgn ia-t SPIRTS DICK HURST, Night Editor OSU Passers Prep for Pitt RALPH KOHL ... big and fast Conn To Get Shot at Louis In Exhibition CHICAGO - VP) - Joe Louis, world's heavyweight champion, is going to trade punches again with Billy Conn, who has emerged from a retirement forced by Louis two years ago. Conn, who gave the champion a scare before the war, and the Brown Bomber who knocked him out in eight rounds when they clashed in a $1,000,000 showdown in New York's Yankee Stadium in June, 1946, were matched today for a six round exhibition at the International Amphitheatre Dec. 10. The exhibition will be promoted by Frank E. Harmon, Chicago pro- moter and son of the late Paddy Harmon, builder of the $6,000,000 Chicago Stadium. Harmon will submit the match to the Illinois State Alletic Commission for ap- proval at its meeting next Mon- day. The exhibition will be the first ring appearance for Conn since he was flattened by Louis. A monster among midgets, Ralph Kohl, 220 pound right tac- kle on Michigan's regular offen- sive combination, often appears physically miscast while operat- ing on a line averaging 189 pounds. BUT, THE six foot two inch Kohl possesses the necessary speed to enable him to maneuver ef- fectively with his lighter mates while opening the key holes for the Maize and Blue backs. Ralph can also be used on the defensive front wall where he gained considerable experience last year. While serving three and a half years in the Army Air Force, the last as a physical director, Kohl worked hard to build himself into a midget pachyderm. He finally developed himself in a robust 255 pounder. Upon his discharge and arrival at Michigan, he had to work a lot harder to scale down to 220. * * * A LOT OF CREDIT for his agility on the gridiron and the ability to move his big frame around in a well coordinated man- ner can be given to long and suc- cessful practice in the boxing ring. A winner of a berth in the 1943 Golden Gloves Tourna- ment, Kohl gained further rec- ognition for his boxing prowess here at Michigan when in 1946 he garnered Intramural honors in the heavyweight division for SAE. Before entering the service of the United States, Kohl attended the University of Kentucky where he had been awarded a scholar- ship following graduation from Kentucky Military Institute. The 23 year old tackle, who was born in Cleveland, Ohio played al- most every line position on the Cleveland Heights High School team. * * * the single wing offense requires more intensive blocking than the "T" formation. Single wing blocks are lower and more sustained while blocking from the "T" is more of the hit and run type con- sisting to a great extent of merely blocking the opposition's view of the ball. While playing football in the Air Force, Kohl injured his knee and further aggravated the injury in spring practice in 1946. After a session under the doctor's knife, the knee has re- acted well and has not bothered Kohl. A Physical Education major, Kohl is a Senior who hopes to en- ter the coaching profession upon the conclusion of his college edu- cation. Durocher Gets New Coaches In Giant Fold NEW YORK - (/P) - Leo Du- rocher today signed up Frankie Frisch and Freddy Fitzsimmons, a couple of old New York heroes, as coaches for his New York Giants and announced that he had his hooks out for a front line pitcher. Durocher declined to identify the pitcher he hoped to get, but admitted he had made overtures for southpaws Johnny Schmitz of the Chicago Cubs and Harry Brecheen of the St. Louis Cards, and righthanders Ralph Branca and Rex Barney of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Duke Tackle WIs Honors 'InAPPoll NEW YORK--P)-His team didn't win, but the play of Al Derogatis, Duke tacklo, against Georgia Tech brought him this week's award as the "lineman of the week" in the Associated Press Poll. Playing with a bad knee that was likely to buckle under him at any time, Derogatis blocked a Tech punt in the first quarter that led to a Duke touchdown. Later he recovered a Tech fumble deep in Tech territory and generally made life miserable for Tech forward passers by throwing them for big losses before they could get the ball away. * * * ON DEFENSE he sometimes shifted to a guard stop position and helped Tech's running attack through the middle. In the pass receiving race, Jim Ford of Tulsa caught eight passes for 111 yards against Wichita last week to take over the National leadership in the pass receiving race, based on number of aerials caught. FORD IS THE sixth different player to head the list in as many weeks since the season opened, reports the Statistics Bureau of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. His 27 catches place him two ahead of John O'Quinn of Wake Forest, a previous leader. The yardage pace setter still is George Sulima of Boston Uni- versity, who has travelled 429 yards on 19 catches. O'Quinn stands second both in number of passes caught and yardage gained, and shares the touchdown lead with Dick Rifenburg of Michigan, each with five payoff catches. 11'1 fi COLUMBUS, O. -- (/) -- The GOING FORMf4L I If so, we have the correct footwear for the occasion: Ohio State University football team put in an easy day today as far as scrimmages go, but worked up a sweat on the problems of throwing, catching, and stopping forward passes. It's part of their drill for this Saturday's game here, with the Panthers of Pittsburgh coming to see if they can hang another de- feat on the team that took Coach Wesley Fesler from them two years ago. There was no scrimmage and may be none this week, but the Bucks drilled on protecting their own passes, then on pass defense, with the freshman team setting up Pittsburgh pass plays.
