TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1949 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE DAI.Y DOUBLE by pres holmes, sports co-editor Wolverines Seventh in AP Poll Michigan Football Spirit Still High Despite Detour jT SEEMS TO BE THE consensus of opinion among the second guessers and armchair quarterbacks that the Wolverines' signal caller, John Ghindia, made a strong bid for the "Goat-of-the-Year" award when he chose to pass with one yard to go for a first down early in the fourth quarter of the Army game. Nothing could be further from the truth. Let's reconstruct the situation and work from there. Mich- igan made its first touchdown just three minutes before the much ballyhooed play, and, was trailing Army 14-7. Wally Teninga had intercepted a pass five plays before on the Cadets' 42 and Mich- igan had moved deep into Army territory meeting very little resistance. The Wolverines were on the seventeen, second down and one yard to go, and less than eight minutes left to play, when the Maize and Blue quarterback called for a pass. ACCORDING TO the "experts" this is why he made a mistake: 1. Michigan's passing and receiving was very inadequate all after- noon. Army's pass defense was the strongest Michigan had faced all year, intercepting four and allowing only three completions in 23 tries. 2. The Wolverines had been making yardage consistently on the groUnd throughout most of the second half and especially just pre- ceding the pass play. It's granted that there was a lot to be desired in the Maize and Blue aerial attack. Ghindia, who certainly was aware of the shortcomings of the passing game, would be justified that at least the law of averages would finally catch up and this one would be complete. Just this fact would hardly justify him, however; let's continue. Looking at it from another angle, the quarterback never figures that a pass is going to be intercepted-knocked down, incomplete, off the jmark, yes-but not intercepted. If it had been merely incomplete, there still were two downs left to move the ball on the ground. It is not logical to condemn Ghindia because the pass was intercepted, that was something he couldn't figure on. NOW AS TO THIE PLAY ITSELF: the pass. It was a good play. Sure, Michigan's ground game was going great, and more than likely it would have continued to do so on the following plays. But it gets harder and harder to make yardage on the ground when the ball is inside the 20. If the pass was incomplete, he still had two downs to make that one yard. Another value in the pass play was the surprise angle. Army, along with everybody else, figured that Michigan would run. The line backers moved up practically to the line of scrimmage. This left only three men in the backfield to cover the pass He had to consider the time element also. A tie would have beern better than a loss, but Michigan doesn't play to tie, they play to win.- A quick touchdown would leave more than seven minutes to push across the winning score. The Wolverines would have had at least two more chances to get their hands on the ball, if the first drive bogged down the second one might work. Ghindia was justified in calling the play he did. He is backed up completely by Head Coach Bennie Oosterbaan. He still is the best quarterback Michigan has and will be calling signals for Michigan again this weekend. an Heusen VAN GAB sport shirts at Not For NEW Y( is the top the expert, the second tionwide pc But the the No. 1 sl gin of 30 p polished of J.F.

That's the philosophy which an amazingly spirited band of Mich- igan football players and coaches fairly beamed at observers yester- day on the practice field. And, be- hind it all lies some food for thought about college athletics. * * * IF ANYONE entertained the idea that the gridiron game is strictly an industry at Ann Arbor, he should have been at Ferry Field yesterday. He would have had the impression that the Wol- verines had crushed the Cadets Saturday instead of vice versa. Of course, Monday usually in- volves only token workouts for the men who carried the biggest burdens in the previous game, but even in such a colorless ac- tivity as signal drill, their yells and kidding remarks proudly displayed what football is under Ben Oosterbaan-a game. It cannot be denied that these players really en-joy competing here. There is no such thing as tension between the coaches and their charges. A REVERSAL, such as just wit- nessed last weekend could not pos- siblyhalter the general good feel- ing between them. All post mortems and second guesses are left to the men of the press and radio. In fact, a group of them were hashing over opinions at the edge of the field yesterday, but they Just didn't fit into the atmosphere. How can you second guess a gang like Michigan's? You can bet that every phase of the game will be picked apart between now and the next time the Wolverines win. The public will be told that the squad is com- ing apart at the seams, that it lacks everything from line back- ers to quarterbacks (and maybe even halfbacks). BUT THIS HAPPY gang is not all washed up. Six Conference op- ponents are going to discover it vividly on six consecutive Satur- day afternoons beginning with Northwestern this weekend. The Wolverines are going to play good football and play it because they like to do it while wearing maize and blue uni- forms. Perhaps they'll lose one or more of those games. But chances are, every time they come out on the short end it will be a case of being outplayed but not outfought. That'sythe way it was against Army. Even in defeat, the Wolverines displayed a sense of sportsman- ship which goes hand in hand with the great game of foojball. It's not surprising, though. They just car- ried Oosterbaan's philosophy out with them to the playing field, the same philosophy which was in evi- dence at the practice field yester- day. -Dally-Alex Lmanian THIS PLAY WORKED-Leo Koceski's cross bucks were the only consistent ground gainers Saturday against Army.

Under his direction, the Col- lege erected new athletic buildings and a modern gymnasium, Michigan State was called the Michigan Agricultural College in those days and Macklin had the hanor of being the first coach of the institution to lead his team to a victory over the University of Michigan. That was in 1913 when his team beat Fielding (Hurry Up) Yost's Michigan eleven by 12-7. A 60- yard dropkick enabled Michigan to turn the tables, 3-0, in the follow- ing year. But in 1915 Michigan State came out on top again, crushing the Wolverines, 24 to 0. I. .I theses): 1. Notre Dame (67) .. 2. Army (58) ......... 3. Oklahoma (28) 4. Tulane (1) ........ 5.

Vital Gridiron Clash Faces Gophers,_OSU COLUMBUS, O.-Coach Wesley Fesler of Ohio State shuffled his defensive lineup yesterday in prep- aration for Saturday's important game here with Minnesota. The Bucks, somewhat battered and bruised from their 13-13 tie last Saturday with Southern California, went through only a light workout. Injured fullback Vic Janowicz will not play Saturday, and regu- lars Dick Schnittker and Capt. Jack Wilson are on the doubtful list. MINNEAPOLIS - Defense against Ohio plays was the Gopher football menu yesterday as the squad stayed in the field- house to escape the 80-mile gale that whooshed through Minnesota. Billy Bye and Ralph McAlister, two casualties, were in uniform but worked out lightly. Both are expected to be in trim by Saturday, however.
