For Bennie Oosterbaan -and for the fans sitting in the stands, it will be a game to test the qualities of the men who will be out there on the turf when the 1949 cam- paign rolls around. AGAINST NAVY, the yearling varsity mentor was given an indi- cation that he will have a lot to look forward to. He sent his sec- ond and third stringers into thei ball game, which was sewn up early in the second half, and watched them come through with a per- formance that would be envied by most of the nation's coaches. But a curious situation may cause Bennie to sit down and wonder how lucky he really is. It isn't every coach that would squawk at a wealth of material, but Oosterbaan may be ready for a bottle of aspirins when he ..... ..............r....::iv:::: ,...... ...::.*.*. .i=:??} LET'S GO!. to the kD SBEER A DEPOT BEER -- WINE -- MIXERS DRIVE-THRU COURTEOUS SERVICE NO PARKING Daily 10 A.M. - 10 P.M. - Sunday, Noon - 7 P.M. a 114 E.

Besides the sensational sopho- mores, Chuck Ortmann and Leo Koceski, returning for varsity play will be Wally Teninga and Tom Peterson. If Oosterbaan switches Teninga to quarterback, he has his starting quartet. * * BUT THERE ARE a few more lads coming up who will be fight- ing for the starting positions. First on the list is Don Dufek, fullback, who made an auspicious debut against the Middies. Ralph Straffon, who also saw action against the Gobs, will be in the contention for a starting fullback"position. At right half, Bob Van Sum- mern, who tossed a touchdown pass to Dick Rifenburg last week, and Steve Souchek will be seeking a varsity spot. Another fine pas- ser, Chuck Lentz, will be out to give Ortmann a run for the start- ing tailback slot. Weber Releases Gridders Avarc N.U. vs. Irish: M urahowsi Against Panelli CHICAGO - (P) - If it's full- backing needed in the Notre Dame - Northwestern showdown Saturday, that's where both teams bust all over the field. The unbeaten Irish have a su- perb performer at the spot-John (Pep) Panelli, Morristown, N.J., who has averaged a team-leading 8.6 yards per crack this season, carrying 61 times for 525 yards in seven games. Northwestern's Art Murakowski, from the steel district city of East Chicago, Ind., is one of the Big Nine's best fullbacks. The work- horse of the swift Wildcat attack, Murakowski has packed the pig- skin 90 times for 511 yards and a 5.6 average in seven games. Like a real fullback, Panelli is also a bearcat on defense. He an- chors one end of Notre Dame's bristling line-backing combination which also includes guard Marty Wendell and sophomore center Jerry Groom. When Panelli hits them, they stay hit. Notre Dame remembers Mura- kowski well. The sturdy 195- pounder with the explosive-take- off played on the 1943 Great Lakes eleven which spilled un- beaten Notre Dame in the final Seconds, 19-18. Like Panelli, Murakowski can iar opposing ball-carriers when he gets a chance to play defensively. List of Frosh !ed Numerals WITH THIS.

SAVE ~ and earn 0/ current rate on insured savings By SY SONKIN If the Michigan 150-pound grid- ders can knock Wisconsin out of the unbeaten ranks in their Ferry Field clash at 2:00 p.m. this after- noon, they can kill two birds with one stone. The Wolverines need this one to stay in the running for the Big Nine title, because the Badgers, have taken all three games they've played this year. SINCE THIS IS the last contest of the season for the boys from Madison, a Michigan victory would leave them with a record of three wins and.one loss, while the Maize and Blue would have two triumphs out of three games played with one to go. The invaders have a dual pur- pose in wanting to take this one. It was a 20-0 victory by Michi- gani last year that upset the Badger apple cart and sent the two teams into a tie for the Conference crown. And, if they win, the Badgers can definitely take the champion- ship back to Madison with them. SO FAR THIS YEAR, Wiscon- sin has proved itself a tough cust- omer against all opposition. The only time the eleven had any trouble was in the opener against Illinois. In that game, the Badgers were held to -a 6-0 score and were saved an upset when an II- lini touchdown was called back because of a clipping penalty. Since then, however, the boys from Madison have won handily, beating Ohio State 26-12 the next week, and following that up with a 14-0 whipping of Illionis. IN THEIR ATTEMPT to stop the Badger express, the Wolverines will probably be without the val- uable services of tackle Barry Breakey and halfback Johnny Wilcox. Breakey hurt his leg in last week's 13-6 of Ohio State, while Wilcox' back is giving him trouble. If they fail to start the game, Jim Sakai will take over Breakey's post, and Ed Morey will move into the vacated backfield position. The line on which Michigan will depend to stop the Badger run- The University of Michigan Skating Rink, Hill and Fifth, will be open to the public Sat- urday night from 8-10 and Sun- day from 3-5 p.m. Admission will be 25 cents for students with ID cards, 35 cents for fac- ulty employees, and 50 cents for the general public. ning attack will be composed of Johnny Picard and Jim Costa on the flanks, Breakey or Sakai and Ted Karmazin at the tackle slots, Capt. Don O'Connell and Jere Ogle taking care of the guard posts, with. Jim Armelogos hold- ing down at center. The backfield will present Jerry Burns at quarterback, Prentice Ryan and Wilcox or Morey at the halves, and Bud Marshall at full- back. Students with ID cards will be admitted free. Admission to the general public will be fifty cents. Prospects for a good track season look bright if yesterday's cross-country team race was any indication. The squad was split into five teams of seven men each for the two-mile grind, and points were given the teams just as in a regular meet. The White team, captained by sophomore Bruce Vreeland, garnered the lowest number of points, 60, for first place. Vreeland finished first among the varsity runners, covering the course in the time of 10:09.5. He was followed closely by Bob ~ME CHRI to all sell - : I It's a ERRY - -. .a 1- - ISTMAS when you Id them I.

In the team standings, the Yellow team missed first place by only one point, finishing with a total of 61 points.
