4 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE ; V Navy Looms as 21st _Mii The Middies are going Lo put on a show for the Wolverine fans to- morrow afternoon, even if they have to use their mascot goat to do it. It won't be a happy Billy that will be parading up and down the sidelines. With the exception of the gridders and Coach George Sauer, he will be without support, for his blue-clad admirers will not be at the game. THEY'LL BE BACK in Annapo- lis, cheering their representatives from the barracks. Much of the color that is attached to games with the service academies will thus be missing, for the synchro- nized marching and cheering is a rare sight. Sauer and his. Gobs will arrive in Dearborn today and will prac- tice behind closed. gates in the af- ternoon at the Michigan Stadium, thus becoming the second visiting team to employ the Ann Arbor turf for practice. The other op- ponents have gone through final drills in Dearborn. MASCOT BILLY will be watch- ing his team go into action for the seventh time this season. The first six were unhappy ones for the little Swabbie, as he watched his pride and joy trudge to the locker room, a defeated squad. But none of the set-backs were humiliating. The Middies have scored on all six of their oppon- ents, including the powerful Notre Dame squad which crushed them last Saturday, 41-7. * * * THE IRISH were the first to rack up a lop-sided score against B. S. BROWN, Night Editor the Sailors, and they've played some mighty tough opposition. Four of the six teams. California, Cornell, Pennsylvania and the South Benders, were unbeaten. Cornell has since lost to Army's Black Knights, but the other three have unblemished records. In a game which means more to the Wolverines than to the Navy, Michigan will be attempting to stretch its winning streak to 21 games. The Middies will be out to smash a skein of their own-an eleven game losing streak which began last year. * * * AND THOUGH IT isn't as im- portant, there's that AP poll which rates the top teams in the nation. If Michigan hopes to hold its own (Notre Dame, now lead- ing the pack, is expected to romp over Indiana and retain the lead), Navy will have to be slugged by at least 34 points. But Sauer and his boys are holding out hope. The Middie spir- it is still running high, Sauer said yesterday before entraining for Ann Arbor. "In Michigan," he added, "we face either the coun- try's number 1 or 2 eleven, de- pending on where you sit. We're the underdog, but remember this is the week for upsets." Like all the teams that play against the Wolverines, the Sail- ors will be aiming for the un- expected-for the game which will end the Michigan streak and send them tumbling from the ranks of the undefeated. idgets Out To Averge LiSt Year's OSU Defeat * * * By DICK MILLER.3 However exciting the Navy gameF is, there is going to be a real battle at FerryField Saturday morning when the Wolverine 150-pounders meet Ohio State in a crucial game. Cliff Keen's squad willyhave blood in their eyes as they try to avenge the 13-2 beating the Buckeyes handedthem last year that kept them from an undis- puted Conference title. On the other hand, the boys from Colum- bus will be attempting a retalia- tion for ,the 39-0 drubbing that the Wolverines gave them in last year's rematch. THERE ARE several men on the blue team who should prove key men in Saturday's clash. Watch for them. At the right guard position will be stocky Don O'Connell, captain of the squad and an al- most immovable object at the center of the lightweight line. Don played guard and fullback in high school and was one of the first to turn out when Coach Keen organized his squad last year. His rugged, determined play won the respect ofahis teammates who elected him captain at the end of the season. Don wants to coach high school football and wrestling someday, but his immediate ob- jective is to lead his team into the win column Saturday. * * * JERRY BURNS will start Sat- urday at quarterback and will do most of the punting. Jerry's strong passing arm and his booming punts have made him one of the most valuable men on the team. He got his prep school training, Enjoy 3 Way e Distinction in a "Cavalier Crest" COV ERT byGS 0 i "GAME" GARB FROM BRUISING?-Lightweight full- back Bud Marshall will be doing the line plunging in Saturday's game with Ohio State. at powerful Catholic Central of Detroit where he played quarter- back from the single wing forma- tion. He seems to be doing just as well in Keen's T. At left half will be John Wil- cox, a stellar back last year and, again this season. Although John played center for three years at Redford High, he was moved to the left half slot when he came to Michigan, and his highly successful scooting style of running has kept him there. John has such an educated toe that he kicked the extra points for both the Jayvees and the lightweights last year. Filling the right half slot will be Pren Ryan, who was a one-man circus in the intrasquad game last week, scoring three touchdowns, and running brilliantly. Keep an eye on him Saturday. * * * BUD MARSHALL will amaze you with the way he drives through the center of the line. His broomstick legs pumping like a steam engine, Bud is a difficult man to tackle, and he should pile up a lot of yardage for the Wol- verines. These men form the nucleus of a powerful lightweight unit. But there is a great deal more talent on the team and a terrific amount of fight. So for an exciting battle of -the gridiron, trot down to Ferry Field at 10 a.m. Saturday. LIBERTY CUSTARD SHOP 518 E. Liberty Fresh POPCORN seasoned with pure creamery butter. G R A N T ST NO Jiro"nILG By MURRAY GRANT ... Daily Sports Editor WITH SEVEN WINS out of nine attempts last week, we moved our average up to a shade under the .700 mark as our season's total, reads 39 wins and 17 losses.; Wisconsin fooled us as the Badgers finally decided which team in the Big Nine has the least.. They met Iowa, another have-not, but the Hawkeyes had more than we thought. Final score, Iowa, 19, Wis- consin, 13. We also let our hopes run away with us as Ohio State became, instead of a sentimental favorite, a two-time loser. Northwestern added the Buckeyes to their list as they head for the Rose Bowl. MICHIGAN-NAVY-A soft touch to end all soft touches. Or so the scribes tell us. But this Navy team has potentialities. They have yet to realize those potentialities as I have ruefully noticed. But since Notre Dame is on top of the heap by virtue of its owerwhelming vic- tory over the Middies last week, Michigan will be out to do just a little better. The Wolverines to romp with a better than 34 point margin. MINNESOTA-PURDUE-The Gophers are beginning to move after losses to Michigan and Northwestern. Purdue can't even get started. This will be another defeat for Stu Holcomb as the Gophers down a Bollermaker or two. NORTHWESTERN-WISCONSIN-This is a case of atomic war- fare versus a slingshot. Wisconsin hasn't even got a great quantity of rocks. The Wildcats have sharpened their claws on Ohio State and now should rip the Badgers to shreds in preparation for the big Notre Dame game the following week. ILLINOIS-IOWA-The Illini have come into their own. They haven't won many ball games, but they have shown exceptionally well in their last three outings. You can put this one in the vic- tory column for Eliot and his Indians. OHIO STATE-PITTSBURGH-The Buckeyes have been like a rubber ball. They bounced back hard from their loss to Iowa and they should bounce back and whip the Panthers. But don't count Pitt out. They showed their teeth in upsetting Indiana and then smothered Western Reserve. A victory diet is something strange to the Panthers and they want to continue it. Look for a close game, but Ohio State will triumph. NOTRE DAME-INDIANA-Frank Leahy may think he is doing Michigan a favor. He softened Navy for us and now he will try to do the same for Indiana. He'll pour it on until the Irish are satisfied, but the Hoosiers aren't likely to take it lying down. Still you can't discount the power of Notre Dame. .The Irish should take a really good ball game. PENN-PENN STATE-Two undefeated titans of the Keystone State get together that will leave only one when the smoke has cleared. The Quakers have had trouble, but the Nittany Lions have had more. Michigan State made them fight doggedly for a tie and Penn State played great football. This is another story. Penn is favored, but this corner thinks it may regret this game. Elwood Petchel and com- pany are aiming for an upset and we think they may spring it. Penn State in the upset of the day. UCLA-CALIFORNIA-The Bears keep moving along. This week, another big test, and a chance to let the experts compare Northwestern and Californi. The Wildcats triumphed, 19-0 in the season's opener. Can California do as well as they roll on to another victory? DARTMOUTH-COLUMBIA-They should only play three quar- ters in Columbia's Baker Field. If they did, the Lions might be one of the East's top teams. They are woefully weak in reserves and week after week they lead until the final minutes. Dartmouth is an- other strong team and they should have too much for Columbia. GEORGIA TECH-TENNESSEE-The Engineers are rolling toward an undefeated season and a Bowl bid. Tennessee can't match that, but they put up a great battle against North Carolina before falling, 14-7. Tech still has too much and, though it will be close, the Engineers should beat the Vols. A tough line and a brushed-up offense should be enough to keep the Michigan State Spartans in trouble when they meet the Wol- verine jayvees in the second half of their home and home series at 3 p.m. this afternoon on South Ferry Field. Don Robinson's forces are in their best shape of the season as they attempt to run their victory streak to three in a row. With the varsity tapering off their week's preparation for Navy, the jayvees have had a chance to whip their offense into 'shape' and should be ready to throw some Michigan backfield magic at the Spartans. * * * IN THE FIRST meeting of the series, the Wolverines crept out on the long end of a 21-19 decision. For all practical purposes the af- ternoon's activity turned into two games for the price of one. State roared to a 19-0 lead in the first half then stood amazed' as the Wolverines charged back to push over three touchdowns in the second half. ANXIOUS to field his best of- fensive unit, Robinson will start Bill Jennings at left half, John Obee at right half, Norm Jackson at fullback and Irv Small at quar- terback. Small has displayed excellent ability in leading the jayvees to a pair of wins and strengthened his claim on the quarterback job by tossing a couple of good passes in the first MSC game. PACKING THE weight up front will be George Sutherland and Rosum Tanjourian at the ends, John Hess and John Eizonas at tackles, Al Fitch and John Ma- turo at guards and By Lasky at center. Except for the first half lapse in the first MSC game, the jay- vee line has been tough to crack. Northwestern spent a whole morn- ing trying to get through it and never did get there, while the Spartans found it impregnable in the second half of their game. r r-- 4 SKIING Season isn't far off Guys and Gals!
